Talk:Electric Warrior

message: Is the commentary for each track really necessary for this album?
Onto something more to do with the album itself. Did Bolan play any other instruments aside from the multiple guitars?
:Can't answer the second question but as a campaigner against long-standing red links, I'd strongly recommend getting rid of the song links until or unless the relevant articles are written. There is precedent for each track having its own article, Bowie and early Roxy Music albums have it to decent effect, but one always should ask whether every song really needs an article or can be  discussed, briefly, within the album page.

thread_title: from Geirskogul

message: I don't have the energy to rewrite anything myself, but it is completely untrue that Cherry Bomb invented glasspacks. Yes, they started manufacturing their mufflers in 1968, but fiberglass packed mufflers of essentially the same design have been around since at least WWII. 
Steel packed mufflers, also of the same design, have been around since the 1920s. When fiberglass became commercially viable it simply replaced steel wool as a cheaper alternative, albeit less durable. I have seen adverts for Fenton Hush Tone glasspacks from as far back as 1950 (a 48" long one of these actually came factory-installed on my 1953 Packard). Smithy's was one of the first to manufacture steel-packs, and made glasspacks concurrently through the late '40s and into the '60s. There were also numerous copycats made my various manufacturers at that time: Haviland Sportsmans, Hollywood True Tones, Allied Mfg. Blue Streaks, Walker Continentals and Blue Singers, the list goes on with many more no-name versions available from J.C. Whitney, Honest Charley, and pretty much every other mail order catalog, not to mention all the ads in the endless number of hot rod magazines the were around then.
Bottom line, the article reads like an ad for Cherry Bomb, and not a true history of one of the most notable and iconic types of mufflers in the history of American car culture. LoudMouse327 (talk) 22:02, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Grammelot

message: I have a suspicion that the actual term "Grammelot" may not be of great antiquity, and may even have been coined by Dario Fo. Dario Fo's book "Tricks of the Trade" and the article "Unmasking the holy jester Dario Fo" (Antonio Scuderi, Theatre Journal - Volume 55, Number 2, May 2003, pp. 275-290) apparently have details on the history of Grammelot. I don't have access, but if anyone does, these should fill in details. (Ray Girvan, March 14 2005).
Update: linguistics professor Mark Liberman at Language Log has concluded that the term "Grammelot" is a modern invention. The alternative is the highly unlikely possibility that this word has been going around as a pan-European theatrical term for 500 years, yet never been documented in major English, French and Italian lexicographical and theatrical sources.
http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001990.html
(Ray Girvan, March 21 2005).
In an essay entitled "L'art du grommelot" (Le Figaro, April 20, 2006), French scholar Claude Duneton suggests the word (not the technique) - in its French form, grommelot - has its origins in the commedia dell'arte-derived French theatre of the early part of the twentieth century. Duneton studied briefly with Leon Chancerel (1886-1965), who was a major figure in this branch of theatre. Chancerel in fact uses the word in his book, Le theatre et la jeunesse (Paris: Bourrellier 1946:47). Others, such as theatre scholar John Rudlin in Commedia dell'Arte: An Actor's Handbook(London: Routeledge 1994:60) suggests this origin as well.

Talk:Kambojas

message: As I try to clean up this article, the one thing I am not sure how to handle is the numerous citations. They are sprinkled in within the overall narrative which makes it very difficult to read. Does anyone have a good example of how to do format this best?
Also, there doesn't seem to be an accepted style to present a sanskrit shloka, so I have adapted a style I have found elsewhere and expanded on it. Please comment.
Finally, I may have actually found an error in the first shloka I tried to style. The text of the article states that it is from the Mahabharata, book 12 (Shantiparva) page 207, verses 43 and 44. However, based on http://www.hindunet.org/mahabharata/txt/12.txt, the actual reference seems to be page 200, verses 40 and 41. I have changed the citation accordingly. Would anyone confirm that this is correct please?

message: Unfortunately, hardly anyone today would blink at the 'jagir' of 30,000 pound Clive "was granted" around 1760 if in 2021 it would have been equivalent to 4,300,000 pounds, or if his 'fortune' of 180,000 pounds now had been 25,700,000 pounds as the article states; it simply were huge amounts of money. Calculating these amounts on MeasuringWorth.com indeed gives much larger amounts, about 60,000,000 pounds for the jagir (https://www.measuringworth.com/calculators/ukcompare/result.php?year_source=1760&amount=30000&year_result=2021), and 3,550,000,000 pounds for his fortune (https://www.measuringworth.com/calculators/ukcompare/result.php?year_source=1760&amount=180000&year_result=2021), which fits in much better with the description of the circumstances.

Talk:George Psalmanazar

message: Hi there, I've been meaning to add my knowledge to this page for about three years or so but only got around to it today. I wrote a 30+ paper on Psalmanazar in college several years ago so I've always felt it would be useful to adapt bits of  its and include them here. I can stand by all the additions I've made as being factually accurate, and if necessary I can add some more references to demonstrate that. If anyone would like to clean up or reorganize what I've written though, they're more than welcome to. 
Also, I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to start a "Formosan langage" page. I kept the quote from the Formosan Lord's Prayer that was there before just because it was interesting, but it doesn't really fit into the flow of the article. Maybe if someone wanted to they could incorporate it into a Formosan language stub? 
I too think this could be a great featured article; stumbling upon this very Wikipedia page about three years ago is what made me aware of Psalmanazar in the first place. With a little more work it could be easily the most comprehensive biography of him on the web.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjaminbreen (talk • contribs) 23:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
