message: Hi Chrissy! I really like your expansion to the Sogdian alphabet. It was very detailed.
I am not sure if you have noticed, but there is a huge gap in the introduction. I think you should either remove it or fill in some informations there, such as a more detailed story of the origin of Sogdian alphabet. Thanks!

replies: text: The home at 1426 F St does not have a back yard.  The location where the bodies were buried was the side yard which is now a paved drive way.  Why this is an important distinction, is that the side yard is absolutely visible from the front of the house and from the two other homes that look onto the space, both of which are second story structures.

Talk:Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini

thread_title: Location

message: Rome's cafe street celebrated by Fellini guarantees tourists even though their fame has dwindled.
A travel writer for the New York Times aptly caught the mood of the scene in 2003: I made my way to the Capuchin Cemetery, a short walk up the Via Veneto from the Piazza Barberini. Little has changed since Nathaniel Hawthorne described the scene in 1860: 'The arched and vaulted walls of the burial recesses are supported by massive pillars and pilasters made of thigh-bones and skulls ... there is no possibility of describing how ugly and grotesque is the effect.'
Several of the chapels still have dirt floors; the brown-cowled skeletons of monks still bow to visitors over arches of hip bones and pelvises. Unfortunately, the church is also on the highly touristed Via Veneto. I shared the crypt with an American family whose twin boys wore baseball caps and made no effort to hide their reactions. As we walked into a room where a pair of skeletons reposed in niches, one of the boys yelled: Holy cow! They've still got their teeth on! The Italian guards tried to instill an appropriate atmosphere of reverence, announcing over the loudspeakers: S-iiigh-lence! No photo, no video. Oh my God! the mother cried in the final crypt, as her gaze traveled upward.
The skeleton of an infant [actually, a Barberini princess, about five years old, donated by the family that financed the church] was fixed to the ceiling, brandishing a scythe [posing as Time, and holding a scale, to symbolize the Last Judgement] and surrounded by concentric circles of vertebrae. The father pulled out a camera and coughed loudly to cover the sound of the shutter snap. As I walked toward the exit, I heard one of the twins protest proudly to his mother: I'm not that scared, you know. I think it's cool! (Taras Grescoe, Jan. 12, 2003)

Talk:Mingrelia

message: According to Simon Sebag Montefiore's Stalin: Court of the Red Tsar the Communist boss of Georgia in the 1940s was Candide Charkviani, a Mingrelian.  "Beria was a Mingrelian, so was Charkviani", pg. 632.  If so he should be added as a famous Mingrelian.  Someone informs me is actually a Svan, but there is no reference for this.  His son is the current ambassador of Georgia to the U.K.

Talk:List of British postage stamps

message: A list of British postage stamps would be a long list indeed. Stamp catalogue published illustrated, annotated lists. If this is not a text dump, the title needs to be adjusted: :List of British postage stamps in my collection or :List of some British postage stamps selected for this list. Something that delimits the list --an important point for all Wikipedia lists. Wetman 00:37, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: About 2,000 entries if it were complete, far from the longest in WP :-) (at 6,000+, the Russian list is much scarier). I'm still pondering what to do with this list; one could always fall back to the default "article-worthy" stamps only, maybe 100 or so. Stan 04:39, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeh, but to make it worthwhile, we need pictures of some of them.  For my own purposes (as a teacher) I was hoping to find pictures of the regional definitives here, to show how the Scottish, Irish and Welsh ones have emblems in the corners.  And (a fascinating point for foreign students) that Britain is the only country which doesn't put the country name on the stamps.  I would suggest we drop the words "list of" from the title and make this a text article on the history of British stamps, with some good examples listed and pictured.

Talk:Kashyyyk

message: Anyone that has the annotated screenplays on hand confirm the bit on the slave labor part because i'm pretty sure it's patently untrue during the writing of ROTJ.
:The Ewoks had no part in the creation of the Death Star II. Originally (in early versions of the screenplay), the Death Star II was going to be built in orbit of Kashyyyk by wookiee labor. It is true that the Empire did use Kashyyyk (or Wookiee Planet C as they called it, which brings up the question, which planets are A and B?). Later in the screenplay development it was moved from Kashyyyk to Endor and instead of wookiees it was ewoks. At this point the slave labor bit was taken out, because ewoks have very little technical knowledge. But it does explain the cultural similarities between the ewoks and wookiees.Atinoda 19:34, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Why does this article say Kashyyyk is 37,000,000 LYs away from the Core?

Surely this is a mistake, I don't know the actual distance but I'm sure it can't be that far away. Maybe someone meant 37 thousand Light Years?

Talk:List of Olympic medallists for New Zealand

Olympic success is conventionally listed as per the 2008 Summer Olympics medal table, where we see that China with 27 golds is top of the list over the US who have 16 golds, but actually seven more medals overall.

replies: text: When I compiled the table 3 medals seemed a reasonable cutoff. Two medals of any colour would make too large a table. A minimum of 2 Golds would leave out Tait and Kendall but only add, at that time, Dick Joyce. A separate table sorted by Golds, minimum 2 would resolve this issue but there would be a lot of overlap between the two. Cheers, DerbyCountyinNZ (talk) 02:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

text: An anonymous user has changed the table by adding the Evers-Swindells and using the IOC ranking system.

thread_title:  "[[:Hubert’s Lemonade]]" listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion|Redirects for discussion]] 

message: I question the pertinence of mentioning Pemberton's addiction to Morphine in the lead. It seems out of context. It is mentioned, because he supposedly created Coca-Cola to try curing his addiction to morphine. Most books present a less definitive view, which is that we do not know for sure, but perhaps he was addicted to Morphine, because he was a veteran and most veterans were. They also present a lot more context to explain the link between addiction and Coca Cola. They explain that it was a typical business  to create formula to cure all kind of diseases and addiction. The people in that business were called pharmacists and Pemberton (1831-1888)  was a highly respected pharmacist, even interviewed by the press.   They explain that, at the time, between 1884 and 1905,  cocaine was praised by people like Sigmund Freud and well known politicians in the United States as a non addictive substance, even as a cure to addiction to morphine and many other problems. Like others, Pemberton praised cocaine, especially in his last years.Reed, Germaine. “When ‘Coca’ Was It.” The Georgia Historical Quarterly, vol. 69, no. 3, 1985, pp. 373–78. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/40581396.   The link between morphine and Coca-Cola is real, but these books do not reduce it to the personal addiction of Pemberton. Some do not even mention it and those who mention it still explain that above all Pemberton was a pharmacist in a typical business at the time. I am not saying that the story that Coca-Cola was invented by Pemberton to cure his personal addiction is not sourced. On the contrary, it is found in many web sites, but not in books written by academics. I find this puzzling. Why this dichotomy? From where comes from the popular story, which is not terribly false, and perhaps partially true, but misses the important global social context? I did not find any explanation.
