Talk:The Sheep and the Goats

thread_title:  Why the asterisk? 

message: In this text is spoken of eonian life,not eternal life. Concerning the 'eternal punishment',that is a mistranslation of eonian chastening,which is a corrective treatment,not a punitive one.
Some people may think that this will occur at the Great White Throne,but this judgement occurs 1000 years before the Great White Throne judgement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.86.109.177 (talk) 07:49, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I came to this page looking for characteristics of sheep and goats that would clarify the meaning of this symbolism.Jkolak (talk) 15:37, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sheep, other than the alpha ram, are docile, goats are very independant. You can lead sheep to water, good luck trying to herd goats. There is such a thing as sheep dogs, I don't believe goat dogs exist, in other words dogs can't herd goats either. On the plus side, goats can eat pretty much anything while sheep require grass. Among herders, goats are often considered to be under demonic possession, you never know what one may do and if you turn your back on one it will likely butt you. Sheep on the other hand are pretty much like rabbits, both killer sheep and killer rabbits are rare enough to be comedic. 75.0.4.247 (talk) 20:57, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Goon Show trivia

message: I have removed the prod on this article, because it's not "trivia" as such but a list of running gags used in the show. The main article is too big for it to merged. It would also mess up a load of wikilinks, too. Perhaps a re-naming to "Running Gags in The Goon Show" or similar would be a good idea. --Richhoncho 21:57, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Hmm, considering there is already a The Goon Show running jokes page, either this lot should be added in there or named something else.

Talk:Short track motor racing

message: I wanted all people involved to be aware of the duplication of effort. The Dirt track racing in the US article is a subset of the short track motor racing article (almost without exception - How many dirt tracks are greater than 1 mile?). I have added to both an excellent reference that I have used to find tracks while I was on vacation far across the U.S. There needs to be some thought put into how to deal with the problem that I have uncovered. Should there be 2 articles: dirt track racing in the US and pavement racing in the US? I cannot think of any other surfaces since board track racing is dead. Any other suggestions? 
The short track racing article needs to either be: 1) world-wide, or 2) have US put in its title. 
I created several Wisconsin track articles, which are categoried under :Category:Motor racing venues in Wisconsin. I went to 16 short tracks in Wisconsin this year, and free use images are available on my flickr account here if you feel especially energetic. You can find out about Wisconsin tracks at www.racingonline.com and www.racingwisconsin.com. These lists will take a huge amount of effort to create in my opinion.

Talk:Continental

message: :*Continental Empire refers to rigidly structured Iberian societies, colonizers such as Spain and Portugal, the most transformed of all forms of European Colonialism, establishment of plantation agriculture, native languages and religions destroyed, Mestizo populations and a future of hierarchy.
Where this came is anyone's guess; and is obviously POV; the Iberian empires are in any case usually referred to as the Peninsular Powers of Peninsular Empires; and neither one of them was "continental" except Spain internally and in the days when it ruled the Two Sicilies and other Habsburg/Borbon fiefs.  The term "continental empire" in geopolitics is apposite to "maritime empire", the contrast being between Russia/Britain (the archetypes of the two kinds of empire in geopolitics) or Austria/Portugal, China/Japan.  Other continental empires would be those of Genghis Khan, the Ottomans (partly marine), Germany (excluding its overseas possessions until the wars, which were never "active empire" in the sense of the British or Portuguese).  Persia was a continental empire; Athens, once it became an empire, a purely maritime one.  "future of heriarchy" and the destruction of native languages and religions are not necessarily hallmarks/defining parameters of continental empires, either.Skookum1 22:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I have reviewed the good article nomination for this article.  I am failing it for not meeting the criteria of good articles.  
The concerns I have deal with the 1st criteria that the GA should be well-written.  My concern is that it does not meet point c of that criteria: 
::(c) it follows the Wikipedia Manual of Style including the list guideline.  
There is a lot of wikilinked terms in there and a lot of them are red.  Please consider removing some of the excessive wikifying found in the article.  Also, links only need to be wikified once in an article.  Stony Ridge, for example, is wikified (and a redlink) twice in the same sentence.  Mouth of Wilson is wikified 3 times and exists in the article at 2 other times without being wikified.
My other concern goes with the 2nd GA criteria of verifiability and factually accurate.  I have no doubt that this is accurate, my concern is with the actual citation for the article.  Some of the links that are used as reference appear for a few different citations.  It would be more appropriate to use a  for these instances.  Then you can tag any subsuquent occurances of the same reference with just that reference name and it will show up appropriately in the references list.  See WP:CITE for more information on that.
Those are just some of the concerns.  Good luck in improving this article.  Metros232 19:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Hong Kong sportspeople stubs

message: *(responding to user:Alai's comment at 02:09, October 4 ) I did not " unilaterally reinterprets and rescopes any "China" or "PRC" subtype as "Mainland China", regardless of any existing consensus, .. ", and there are other topics having separate stub types for mainland China and Hong Kong. As a matter fact, most of those stub types titled China are not intended to cover Hong Kong and Macao, as reflected by their actual application that they're almost never tagged onto Hong Kong and Macao stubs.</p> If stub types were to be sort according to present-day sovereign states, Gibraltar and other British overseas territories belong no where, since they're not sovereign states, nor are they regarded as part of the UK. Although separate teams in football and to Commonwealth Games, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales do send one single team to Olympic Games – that's not the case for the People's Republic of China. There's obvious no valid reason to merge the Hong Kong (and Macao, if there will be any) sportspeople categories with that for the rest of the PRC. — Instantnood 19:29, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
