Talk:City of Gold (book)

message: With reference to CILIP's retrospective online (likely 2007–2012) citation of this book for the 1980 Carnegie Medal in Literature, I wrote yesterday:
: (quote) City of Gold is or was a "radical" retelling of Bible stories, according to the retrospective online Carnegie Medal citation.
Robina Fox has removed "or was" - it either is or isn't, as it hasn't changed (quoting the edit summary.
What is radical in retelling Bible stories may have changed a lot since 1980; probably it has. It isn't clear to me whether CILIP has utilized any contemporary sources --such as 1980 newspaper coverage of the Medal or archives of the ancestral Library Association-- in fashioning its online "Living Archive" pages. It isn't clear to me whether CILIP uses the present tense ordinarily or tenselessly in saying (2007?) that the book "offers a radicall retelling". --P64 (talk) 16:08, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we have here a misunderstanding of the expression "radical retelling". In this context it means that the stories were taken back to their bare roots (radix meaning root) and built up from there. It has to do with telling the stories in a fresh and unusual way, not with any expression of the latest "radical" ideas. From reviews on Amazon (not quotable sources, but at least they have read the book, which I haven't), it seems that each of the stories is told from a different character's point of view. That is surely an undeniably radical approach. There may have been subsequent radical Bible retellings (for example, from the perspective of a time traveller, or in the form of newspaper reports), but they would not be any more radical than this, just radical in a different way. Robina Fox (talk) 02:31, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks. Someone who knows the book may be able to infer whether the quoted second sentence of the CILIP citation is an explanation of how the retelling is and was radical. Someone may be able to do better who reads one of these Sources:a contemporary review, or newspaper coverage of the 1980 Medals, or the Carnegie Medals book underused by a previous editor (now ref#3). --P64 (talk) 16:33, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I propose the shortening of this history section, and the exclusion of non Maasin content, such as the first Mass in Limasawa. I actually think that the whole history article should be re-written in a more concise order. Boopolo (talk) 04:07, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

text: It's because the way you are going about the edit is not the right way. If there are other churches of the same name, the method is to create a new article with "Church of the First Born (XXXX)" as the title, with "XXXX" being a disambiguating term. Then the material on this page could be moved to "Church of the Firstborn (Morrisite)", an appropriate DAB term, and then this page could be used as a disambiguation page to indicate the existence of multiple churches of the same name.

Talk:Richard Onslow (Solicitor General)

message: This article states he was in the appointment of speaker for "the remaining five years of his life". This is technically incorrect as Parliament did not yet habitually meet with annual regularity and its summoning was very much at the sovereign's (then Elizabeth I) pleasure.  The parliament in which he was appointed was dissolved in January 1567, after he had been in office 3 months.  The next parliament summoned, after a 3 year interval, was called in 1571 but he died on 2 April, prior to its dissolution on 29 May 1571.  The History of Parliament informs that Sir Christopher Wrey was appointed speaker of that session, while Onslow sat as a backbench MP. I will modify the statement.Cloptonson (talk) 10:34, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Statement about maximum wing loading appears to no longer be accurate. The Schleicher datasheet lists a wing loading of up to 59.8 for the 15m ASG29.
Petebutt: 
ASG29 certainly should be cross-referenced here, it is a great machine. But about the wing loading:
# can you give the reference? Brief search of http://www.alexander-schleicher.de gives 33-57kg/m2 wing loading, but perhaps for 18m configuration and/or without engine...
# I could not find any "inacurate" statement on Diana 2 wrt wing loading. It says "very large range", not "record maximal". Can you point to the phrase which is inacurate? Somewhere (I could not find on Wikipedia) people talk about record RANGE of wing loading (Diana 2 can change by more than 100%), this still seems valid...
