thread_title: influence on modern music

message: From the article:  "The final scene hints that the plot may be an allegory of the contemporary political situation in England during the reign of Charles II." 
The trouble is that the article dates the opera's first performance to 1691; Charles II died in 1685. As there is no actual description of the final scene, there's no information to support the statement about Charles II.
I don't know enough about this, aside from the timeline, to make a good edit. It would be good if one of this article's original authors was able to make this correction, either supporting/expanding or removing the statement. For example, it would be helpful to know if Dryden had written the libretto during Charles's reign, as well as a description of the final scene and how it relates to Charles.
Also, this article could generally use some references and supporting material. Since this statement isn't supported in the text of the article, I assume it comes from a reference used by the author. Which one?
:This should be reinstated.  It is mentioned in the author's preface.  My source is Dryden: The Dramatic Works Vol. 6 ed. Montague Summers. (orig. Nonesuch Press, 1932) Gordian Press, 1968. pp 239-40.  Fryden didicates the work to the Marqquiss of Hallifax [sic] and says it was intended for Charles II, who did not live to see it, then goes into the political issues that inspired the work.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 05:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Charles II - anachronism? 

message: Does anyone know where I can find a libretto with the dialogue?  The one linked to this page has only the lyrics, and that is all I have been able to find so far.

Talk:Tasmanian temperate rainforests

message: * support - the articles both have a range of issues, and a good merge will take some effort from a good reader/editor with adequate knowledges of the subject matter. User:JarrahTree 14:50, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge Proposal 

message: Ok, this is a mess.  This is Tasmanian temperate rain forests as of 10/23/2013. That seems to be the last edit before the mess.  Then  came along and did . . . stuff.  Between March 13, 2015 and March 17, 2015 he added a lot of sourced information, albeit somewhat disorganized see diff. Then, on March 20, 2015 he blanked the page, and was reverted by Cluebot. Then he did this which was reverted as vandalism. Then he did this with the edit summary of "took out my own work and created my own page instead". Cluebot reverted. Around that same time he created Tasmanian cool temperate rainforests, which was essentially a copy-paste of the stuff he was taking out of this article, which he had previously added to this article.  There were several more edits consisting of him removing information in smaller chunks (presumably to avoid triggering Cluebot). Then  came along and did some stuff.  That person also created Tasmanian ferns, which talks extensively about "Tasmania's Cool Temperate Forests". Then  reverted all of Pollyhannaford's edits and all of Jordz' removal of info back to the last Cluebot version.  Meanwhile, Jordz continued working on Tasmanian cool temperate rainforests. 
At this point, much of the info in the two pages is essentially identical; but not all of it.  I'm not clear as to why Jordz decided to create a separate page rather than continuing to work on this one. I don't want to be bold and do the merge myself without some idea why Jordz decided to create the separate page to begin with.  Also, if these pages are merged I'd like to see a history merge performed, which requires the help of an admin. So; is there a reason for these to be separate?  If not, they should be merged. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 15:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Australian Antarctic Division

message: A few years ago, Australian Antarctic Division was in the process of being renamed to Australian Government Antarctic Division, I assume largely to separate AGAD from private or commercial expeditions. Most things were changed, including the logo and web banners etc, all except the url aad.gov.au and an few other things. Now, it seems the DEWR has gone back on the name change and has reverted back to Australian Antarctic Division.
So my question, are they sticking with AAD? Should all AGAD references on WP be removed? Thanks. --Breno talk 09:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes we are officially back to AAD after a brief flirtation with AGAD. In so far as anything is certain in Government the change will be permenant so yes, all references to should go back to AAD. Gdenyer 09:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:His Last Bow (short story)

message: The commentary section seems one-sided and overly critical, more of an editorial than commentary. Specifically, the section seems to violate Wikipedia:Neutral point of view in the following ways:
- Asserting opinion as fact, e.g. "Sherlock Holmes' conduct has no rational reason within the framework of the story".
- Not asserting facts about competing opionions.
- No references/citations about the "facts" in the commentary section.
Suggestions:
- Replace opinions with facts about opinions IAW Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. For example, include quotes/summary from a review of the story with such an opinion.
- Include facts about competing opinions IAW Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. For example, include quotes/summary from a review that is more positive about the story.
- Cite references for the above.

thread_title:  Analysis 

message: A reader coming across the story (at least without knowing its author) might well take it as a standard spy story and be surprised when Holmes turns up. The fact that Altamont is Holmes is not revealed until near the end; moreover, its title, "His Last Bow", does not conform to the standard template for Sherlock Holmes stories.  However, I see that the original Strand cover trumpets "Sherlock Holmes outwits a German Spy", which is a shameful spoiler. jnestorius(talk) 17:30, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Doug Gilbert

message: Okay, I'm not going to all the trouble of editing this as I'm sure somebody better at it than I am will eventually get to it. But I would like to know where the person who wrote this got the idea that Doug Gilbert is the kayfabe son of Tommy Gilbert and thus the kayfabe younger brother of Eddie Gilbert. If this is the case, it may be the only time in history that a kayfabe storyline started on the day somebody was born. Doug Gilbert is Tommy Gilbert's son and is Eddie Gilbert's brother. For references, there are a few thousand of them available online. This is funny, does somebody hate the Gilbert family? Kdb1965 (talk) 05:05, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I have removed the "Controversy and racism" section. The part of the content that actually was about Castor was not supported by the given sources, including the allegation of racism. The claim that "Castor's staff initially attempted to claim that the teenager did not reside in Castor's district" was at best a misrepresentation indicating deliberate action for what, according to the source, might have been a honest mistake by a single staffer, who apologized when called again on the same issue. And so it goes. Editing from a Congress IP may indicate a conflict of interest, but WP:BLP goes for congressmembers, too, and removing badly-sourced content about a living person is highly appropriate.

# This information is likely to change, and would require constant attention
# There's no third-party corroboration

Years ago on another drive to Long Island (this time with my family), my father wanted to get some pigeon food for a friend of the family from that place. I talked to one of the employees at the feed store, and they said they get rail service from NY&A and find it extremely unreliable.

Talk:List of Picasso artworks 1961–1970

message: I am a university embarking on a an essay looking at a sculpture designed and instigated by Picasso. He donated it to Amsterdam's Vondelpark in 1965 and there is no mention of it anywhere that I can find. I haven't started looking at books yet as it is quite early yet and just wanted some decent background information. My question is why is this sculpture lost in obscurity while the sculpture in Chicago although very interesting shares a common history??? very confused.
