Talk:Dokkaebi

message: They are roughly analogous to the oni of Japanese folklore, but Korean Dokkaebi is neither harmful nor formidable.
Odd, the article makes them sound more like analogues of the tsukumogami. Kotengu 04:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The tsukumogami-ish aspect of Dokkaebis are not that emphasized, actually. It's just that some Dokkaebis are old possessed objects, while the majority are naturally-occuring entities on their own. The link between Dokkaebis and Onis come from a propaganda/error/misconception/whatever it was that happened during the Japanese Colonial period, when an illustration of an Oni was used in a story about a Dokkaebi. Because Dokkaebis never really had a single, well-known shape across Korea, the illustration of Oni soon replaced the folk images... or somesuch. Both entities carry clubs and are physically, uh, robust, but Dokkaebis are more like fairies and goblins while Onis are more demonic... Accordingly, the theory is that Dokkaebis would look more silly than how Onis get depicted. Oh well.--24.27.128.220 (talk) 03:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: From what I know on the subject, horns are not a defining feature of Dokkaebis. Some are said to have a single bull-like horn, but I don't think it's prevalent enough. It might be an influence from Onis, too, though.--24.27.128.220 (talk) 03:44, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Korean images of dokkebi almost always have horns akin to Chiwoo images which may or may not be related and have nothing to do with Oni.  Go look at Goryeo and Chosun images of dokkebi.Melonbarmonster2 (talk) 06:36, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Dokkebi images as well as folktale were fully developed and prevalent for literally thousands of years before Japanese occupation in 1909.

thread_title:  Not a stub no mo' 

message: I wrestled with which template best fit the weaknesses of the article, and I think the "story" template works well.  Throughout the article, the information does read more like a narrative and tell a story rather than providing encyclopædic information, especially with a personal interest type tone.  Portions such as: 
"Ramon trained for about 3 months – his mother dropped him off every day, brought him to the gym, and picked him up after training.  Cor saw that Ramon had the potential to be a good fighter..."
 clearly show this.  In addition, phrases such as "Ramon Dekkers loved the challenge of fighting," and "Dekkers fought some of the best fighters Thailand had to offer. Sometimes he won, sometimes he lost," and 
"Dekkers would fight anyone, any time, even though he was recovering from injuries. And lastly, sometimes the Thai were just better than him,"  are also clearly not the style consistant with an encyclopædia.
I'm not so sure the article necessarily requires a full rewrite, but it does need a lot of work.  --JohnDoe0007 19:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Some comments:
#They've been releasing albums for 20 years.
#For a majority of their career they were part of the biggest Canadian record label, before moving on to their own personal labels.
#They're DIRECTLY tied to two very influencial and respected bands - Skinny Puppy and The Legendary Pink Dots, with the founders being a musician of one and the lead singer for the other.
#The band's singer, Edward Ka-Spel, has had his lyrics (including the lyrics of The Tear Garden) published in print.

Not including, the talk page of an article is often used to prepare main space material.  Additionally, you can create a sandbox for works in progress.  An article, is a final form document, not a test page for experimentation.  If you're going to create something, have a source.  If you don't have the source, just wait until you do.

message: I understand that in British English, "watering place" means a seaside resort or health spa, but that's only because I looked it up.  For speakers of non-British English, "watering place" means a place where animals come to drink water.  It's clear from the context that the former meaning was the author's intent, but perhaps a different phrase would be less confusing and conjure up more enticing images for people who aren't familiar with the British terminology.  How about "Arcachon is a popular seaside resort, with a fine beach..."?  Thanks!  --Mpwrmnt 09:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Sorry about the reversion. That's what I get for editing in hurry before I run off to work. Generally adding a list of stores in a location is not very encyclopedic, I thought that's what you had done. Many of the articles about small towns have people adding a laundry list of every non-notable Dairy Queen, quickie mart, etc. If done right, however, it can emphasize the smallness of the place, though population figures are probably a better way to do it. Thanks for writing an article on Dari Mart, it is an important local institution, IMO. If you know any local history and can back it up with cited sources please add it. Surely there is a little more to Cheshire than the Dari Mart. Is/was a sawmill town if I recall correctly? Be sure to check out WikiProject Oregon if you're still interested in Oregon stuff. Happy editing! (and your class too--what a cool project) Katr67 14:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Pharaoh's Daughter

message: I believe this band is significant and should not have its page deleted. It's received many glowing reviews, and will soon have five albums out as well as a number of spots on compilation albums. But more importantly, its members play on instruments and draw on music styles from the Middle East which are not often heard in current popular Jewish music (or certainly elsewhere in the American music scene), blending them together in a unique and skilful way. I don't know of any other popular Jewish bands these days are willing to subject their audience to the ear-splitting nasal drone of a zurna, or ask everyone to clap along, but only on the 1, 6, and 7 of a 10-beat cycle. Elsewhere, if it's not a low-key subsidized authentic ethnic performance, the music will be overwhelming Western in style ... even in Israeli so-called "mizrahi" ('Eastern') music. I'd say this band has an important place in current Jewish cultural development. All that might not add up to significance if the actual quality of the music were not high, but I believe it is, and the reviews back me up.
As for the article itself, I haven't added much to it, but I'll try to flesh it out a bit in the coming days.
On another note, I'm itching to remove the classification as American folk music. I have not heard every song by PD, but In general I find nothing folksy about their music. Do other people disagree? Shajats Itel 09:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
