Talk:Blain (animal disease)

message: If a chilblain is a blister caused by a chill, then maybe this 'blain' is also a blister? It makes me think of the story in one of the James Herriot books, where he had to lance an abscess at the back of a cow's throat that was threatening to cut off its airway. In the book he stated that at the time it happened (the 1930s), they didn't know what caused these frequent abscesses in cattle, but modern (post-antibiotics) medicine decreed that they were probably caused by tuburculosis. He concluded by saying (IIRC) that this malady is almost never seen nowadays.--Anchoress 02:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Blain 

message: I've trimmed this article right down to the 1728 definition: the rest of the article seems to have been a work of synthesis from multiple non-authoritative Internet sources. There is, as far as I can see, no link at all between Chamber's use of the word "distemper", and the viral disease we now call distemper, but the older version of this article seems to have taken this idea and ran with it, generating an synthesis that conflated the two and was authoritative about neither. We need authoritative sources such as published books by experts in the field or academic papers. As Anchoress says above, it might well have been tuberculosis, or some other disease. To the best of my knowledge, we currently don't know what that might have been. -- The Anome (talk) 11:26, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I've played this game using a DOS emulator and the storyline revealed within the game is minimal compared to what the "Storyline" section of this article contains. I was led to wonder where all this information came from. I couldn't find any articles elsewhere that had as much of the backstory as this one here on Wikipedia. So I figured that the information here must have come from the manual. Sure enough, I found a copy of the manual and was able to confirm the extended backstory.
I'm not sure if anybody is watching this page, but does anybody think the manual should be linked to as a source for the backstory? I realize other games don't have links to their manuals, but then other games have more of the plot revealed within the games themselves. The fact that the player cannot get this information except by looking at the manual seems to be a key distinciton.
For reference, the address of the web page from which I downloaded the manual is http://www.oldgames.sk/en/game/blackthorne/download/461/.
So, any thoughts? Include the link in the main article? Or am I all alone here? Xlbnushk (talk) 08:43, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Wikify

message: It's well known that Laurence Olivier played half-a-dozen small parts in Shakespearean stage productions during the early years of his professional acting career and that he played his first leading role as a Shakespearean actor on stage as Romeo in October1935. It's not so well known that his first leading role in a Shakespearean production was on radio, in January 1935, at the age of 27. (It isn't mentioned in Alan Dent's authorized 1953 biography "The Oliviers".) He was Leontes, King of Sicily in "The Winter's Tale", as this article mentions in its list of his work on radio. Sadly, the recording appears to be lost - unless, by a miracle, it's found in somebody's attic or garden shed. Stranger things have happened. It's equally sad that his 1942 radio performance in "Henry V" also appears to be lost. O Murr (talk) 21:10, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Pechin

message: While there are a number of sources cited here, I wonder if we shouldn't make a stronger effort to emphasize the fact that pechin were analogous to samurai, and not in any way actually the same as samurai, i.e. not directly related culturally nor by blood to the samurai clans.
While it's a useful comparison, and I'm sure it's used quite frequently in place of the more obscure term pechin, the pechin were not samurai, and I think it's misleading to use the word so many times in the article.
Over the weekend at some point, if I remember, I'll be bold and fix up the wording how I like it. In the meantime, though, if anyone's watching, some discussion would not be at all unwelcome. Thanks. LordAmeth (talk) 00:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

message: * After reading through this article: I have ascertained that it should be completely rewritten. Much of the article contains inane details about tour dates and listed discographies.

The many old fortified bunkers still scattered about the island from WW2 are pristine and one cannot see any evidence at all of their having been the subject of war machines and guns. The locals sayeveryone in the main village of Pantelleria was rounded up and moved outside the city. The US Army then went in and loaded all the buildings with explosives and set them off. This blast was filmed. Later airplanes were shown dropping bombs, in newsreels in the USA, while the xplosions the newsreels showed was in fact the exploding village from the planted charges. This story is taken for granted as being the truth on Pantelleria.

message: I take issue with the assertion that she hung a Confederate flag from her Manhattan home during the Civil War.  While it is common knowledge that Mittie was a Confederate sympathizer and in fact had brothers in the service of the Confederacy, she, her sister and her mother were all living in the home of one of the most prominent citizens in New York.  Her husband was a strong supporter of the Union cause, though he never fought, she would not have gone against her husband's wishes in such a public way, nor would her mother have allowed such public disrespect of the "man of the house."  For support of this I point you to David McCullough's book "Mornings on Horseback."  Which is cited as a reference for this article.
