replies: text: Are you wondering if the Azure Dragon myths inspired that comic book?  I read the Jade Dragon article and I don't really see any similarities other than that both feature Chinese-styled dragons.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 19:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. It seemed to me likely that they tried to "borrow" the concept to show some cultural literacy, but if there's no specific obvious parallels there's probably no reason to create a link between the two articles. John Carter 20:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Picture

message: In the origin section, it is stated that the white tiger and green dragon possess Tang and Liao Dynasty heroes.  Should it be explained that the traditional Chinese time scale does not distinguish past present and future with DATES and is instead a regenerative system?  To explain this would explain more than just time.  It would shed light on how it is believed that the West Side White Tiger and East Side Green Dragon TRAVEL IN TIME to the Tang and Liao Dynasties & perpetually affect eternity...
Also, should we rearrange the origin section so that the Azure Dragon's origin is before the White tiger, or should we add a sentence explaining how the white tiger generates the green dragon?
Also, the origin section is quite cluttered with somewhat unnecessary information.  Not that the info isn't enlightening, I just think we could cut down the clutter if some of these names had their own WIKIs.  Then we could just link to the names and the Sinitic logographs could be located there...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.218.85.222 (talk) 17:44, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should it be explained? 

message: After reading the origins section, the impression I get is that the Azure Dragon comes from Japan, and that it is simply a novel reference for the Chinese. Where I am though, it is understood beyond any doubt that these are Chinese cultural references with relation to Chinese Astronomy. References to the dragon date back to some 6000 years before today, as per acheological evidence found in chinese tombs. This should be made clear. Perhaps the section on Japan should be mentioned in relation to it's prominence in popular culture rather than as part of it's origins instead, as the dragon is clearly an "imported product"?

Talk:Maurice Binder

message: I'm doubtful that a pinhole camera would have the quality needed for cinema.  Can anyone cite a source for this claim?
In a two part interview in Starlog magazine ("Starlog" (USA) September 1983, Iss. 74, pg. 20-23,+60, by: Don McGregor, "Maurice Binder: Sighting Down a Gun Barrel at 007" ), Binder explained how he accomplished the gunbarrel sequence, using an actual .38 barrel and stuntman Bob Simmons.  Binder said the only way he could get the rifling on the barrel and Simmons both in focus was by filming the event through a pinhole.  In the same piece, Binder also explained his absence from the 2nd and 3rd Bond films by saying that the producers didn't want to pay him for the reuse of the gunbarrel title saying that anything that appeared in Dr. No belonged to THEM and not the creators. (explains the reuse of some of Monty Norman's score in FRWL).  Binder claims to have made up with them during the making of Goldfinger and in the same piece claimed to have done the lettering for Brownjohn's titles. Foofbun (talk) 23:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:   Pinhole camera?  

message: This article lists Maurice Binder as being born on 1918, whereas the official IMDB website (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0082800/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm) lists him as being born on 1925. I am wondering where this discrepancy comes from and if the validity of this page or IMDB's listed age can be verified.

Talk:William Spratling

message: I read he was a dropout, short of only a few credits in math to graduate, though, in fact he'd been teaching some courses at the school while an undergraduate? He may conceivably have gotten his degree later, but perhaps didn't have it when he first moved to Birmingham, then New Orleans?
My concern is based on the fact that The Silver Gringo (cited below) page 6, states "Spratling left Auburn withuot a degree in 1921 (he lacked a few credits in mathematics) and took a job as a draftsman with an architectural firm in Birmingham. A year later he went to New Orleans as an adjunct professor in the School of Architecture at Tulane University and moved to the French Quarter."
I presume that the following full-fledged academic Spratling biographies  (both mentioned in the original article) may have further information:
Taylor D. Littleton, The Color of Silver: William Spratling His Life and Art,Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2000
and 
Joan Mark, The Silver Gringo: William Spratling and Taxco, Albuquerque, University of New Mexico Press, 2000
P.S. Sorry about the hideous formatting above. What someone should do is to add a "cite a source wizard" button to the edit pages, which brings up a box where the amateur Wikist can then plug in the medium, author, title, ISBN (if known), date of publication, etc. Then having done so, the citation will appear neatly on the screen, instead of the mishmash and mess I have created after a fierce struggle. This is definitely not a bumbling, old person friendly, interface.  Haaaruumpf!!
And you need a "WikiProject: Dropouts" maybe -- there are so many of them, and they feel so awful, they need a WikiProject to give them hope in life. Haaruumpf!!

Talk:Practice chanter

message: In the band we play in, students move from practice chanters to pipes in stages.  Nobody would buy a Goose, as you describe it.  Instead, we just plug the drones, to have only the chanter go.  Or, for parades, the new folks use the "Tiger Woods" chanter reed, meaning a golf tee fitted into the chanter hole with waxed hemp string so only the drones play, as many drones as that person can maintain with good cut-offs and clear sound, which marching.
I'm experimenting with a Goose adapter, which is a device that necks down the bagpipe hole for the bagpipe chanter, to be able to use a practice chanter on the bagpipe.  It takes a little getting used to, but allows a pretty sound more fit for indoor use.  
Practice chanters can and have to be properly in tune, when played in groups, such as band practice nights.  The band keeps a variety of reeds in stock and we "tune" the reed by screwing it more in or further out.  We actually tap the chanter for a screw thread right where the reed goes, to make this more effective.  The result is all chanters used by the bandmembers are very much in tune with each other.  
A well made chanter can be played as a serious instrument on it's own.  We have people who can get the full chromatic scale and do note bending similar to a harmonica, although none of this is done on the real bagpipes in highland music. 
It is a pretty sounding reed instrument, except for the cheap crappy ones.
