Talk:Andross

message: This article looks like it has some missing data.  It looks to me like perhaps this one was written about Andross' Star Fox 64 and Dinosaur Planet personas - being as I've never played the original Star Fox for Super NES, I can't say either way.  Some more knowledgeable Star Fox fan would be a good thing for this article... --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 08:18, Jul 7, 2004 (UTC)
I, being a very knowledgeable Star Fox fan, think this article provides the necessary information and more to be able to understand the fictional Character of Andross
Well, i'd just like to say someone needs to add a picture of the retro Andross as this version of him is by far way better that his latest incarnation. People need to see how he started off!
:He was just a face… --FlareNUKE 09:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: In Star Fox 2. Andross appears as a main villain and a final boss. As both, he has a metal thingy on his head, making him a cyborg. And as the final boss, he is just a cube that doesn't do anything and has Andross's head on all sides. This is probably a beta version stand-in for the final boss.

thread_title:  Andross in StarFox 2 

message: This quote: "After Andross fought with the "Star Fox Team" (apparently in the original Star Fox), he dedicated his remaining days to planet Venom, wanted to leave some sort of legacy. Thus Andross hid his secret device on Titania where no one would ever think to look, leaving behind one of his bioweapons to guard over the device."
The first sentence I don't think is accurate. The original StarFox isn't canon insofar as StarFox 64 replaced its place in the story. I think what Krystal was referring to was James, Peppy, and Pigma. After Andross fought with them, he dedicated his remaining days to Venom (etc..) --Gamehiker 19:14, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Douglas seems to be an unknown actor. The only reason he's in the news is because of his father. If he hadnt died, would he still deserve a page? saopaulo1

:"What is the best heckle you've ever seen?
:A: Clearly there is no ‘right’ answer to this, however top points must go to the audience at London’s Comedy Store when faced with a dire routine by the late Eric Douglas, son of Spartacus star Kirk and half brother of Michael.
:According to an eye witness, comedian Mickey Hutton, (who mentioned the experience in a Sun newspaper article on 14 May 1999), Eric Douglas ‘lost it on stage’.
:"I'm Kirk Douglas' son," Eric screamed in retaliation to the audience’s heckles. In response one audience member stood up and said: ‘No, I'm Kirk Douglas's son!", then another, and another until the whole audience where shouting: ‘No, I’m Kirk Douglas’s son!’. "

message: Transponders have been included on several spacecraft, including Viking and Pathfinder, in order to allow accurate distances to the planet (Mars, in those cases) to be acquired by measuring the delay in return signal.

thread_title: Radio-ranging to spacecraft

message: Why can airline transponders be turned off in the cockpit?  Isn't it essential safety equipment for others?  Somebody please clarify in the article.  Background:  On Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 the transponders were apparently turned off in the cockpit. If they hadn't been, it would be clearer, sooner, where the plane had gone, and much suffering and thousands of person-hours would have been saved.  A pilot advised me that (a) all avionics have on-off switches (maybe that's a necessary principle?) and (b) that it may be necessary to turn a transponder off and on, because it's "touchy" or air traffic control requests it.  Would welcome expertise here. -- econterms (talk) 19:05, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Hebrew language

message: The title of this page is illogical. Either "Hebrew" is sufficiently ambiguous and the language is not the primary meaning, in which case "Hebrew" should redirect to Hebrew (disambiguation), or it is not, in which case this page should be titled "Hebrew". The redirect from "Hebrew" to the language article in itself already admits that the language is the primary meaning of "Hebrew". Opposing arguments in the last move discussion are fallacious: That it sounds like the singular of "Hebrews" is irrelevant, since names of articles about ethnic groups are always in the plural, and while it is typical for Wikipedia articles about languages to have a title "X language", there are many prominent exceptions, where the language is the primary topic. An argument analogical to the "Hebrews" argument can also be applied to "Latin", because the ethnic group from which the language originates is known as "Latins", yet the article about the Latin language is still found at Latin because the language is overwhelmingly the primary (though by far not the only widely used!) meaning of "Latin". --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
