Talk:Opus signinum

message: The Roman villa of Carranque has parts with opus signinum and is from the Theodosian era. --Error 01:36, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 4th century

message: I appreciate that 'Opus signinum' may mean a pavement style in art terms, but isn't it originally the name of the type of concrete used in such floors? This material, made with sand, lime and, originally, had a type of a pinkish orange kaolin clay from Signia in Latium added, later crushed terracotta bricks/tiles as a substitute. It was used in a wide variety of other structures, especially in Britain, where Opus caementicium was rare, due to the difficulties of sourcing the necessary Pozzolona volcanic ash. We could add this information.
Could the article also use links to other types of finish? For example, 
Opus reticulatum: - shaped blocks of tufa set in opus caementicium, looking like a diagonal net.
Opus testaceum (opus latericum) - bricks in opus caementicium.
Opus incertum: - irregularly shaped stones in opus caementicium.
Opus spicatum: - a type of paving made from small bricks laid in a zigzag pattern like a parquet floor.
Opus sectile: - a type of mosaic using cut, polished stone or glass pieces.

message: The Water Is Wide by Pat Conroy places what may be The Congo boat or some similar vessel on Daufuskie Island at least a couple of years before it was supposedly discovered in Cairo. I place this fact here in case any second source could confirm or clarify it. 
"...A man named Ted Stone met us at the dock. Ted was a powerfully built man with steel gray hair and ice blue eyes. He greeted us matter of factly with a restraint and distance that made me a bit ill at ease. He was friendly enough and courteous enough, but he was aloof and suspicious. According to Bennington, he ruled Yamacraw Island. He had expropriated every job on Yamacraw Island for himself. He was the Game Warden, the Magistrate, the Director of Economic Opportunity, Warden of the Roads, Civil Defense Director, and held countless smaller titles, His wife, Lou, held every job not claimed by her husband. Lou was in her fifties but still had dark brown hair.
...I listened to Stone and was glad to be learning. He loved to talk about himself and nothing could have been more instructive to me. On a whim, he had once traveled to Florida with a group of friends, bought the boat which Humphrey Bogart captained in the film The African Queen, and brought it back to Yamacraw Island, where it survived a year then rotted slowly into oblivion."

message: Is it just me, or do the terms in this article seem unencyclopedic?  Especially these:
"The Bucs lineup featured..." (using this because bucs is just a nickname).
"The tall and lean Kent Tekulve..." (obvious bias)
"...giving Earl Weaver and his Orioles a déjà vu nightmare when the Bucs came back to win in seven games." (deja vu is more of a slang term than an encyclopedic term, Bucs again).
and 
"when he should have sped back..." (he probably should have, but an encyclopedia article shouldn't be telling what someone should or shouldn't have done.  Maybe "some critics say?").
There are probably some more, but I did not have enough time to look through the whole article.  It seems this is a pattern in the world series articles.  Just wondering if somebody could fix this or if I should put up a banner. --Ghinga7 (talk) 17:21, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Clotho

message: I just removed the last sentence of the section The Ivory Shoulder, namely
:The English word “cloth” comes from Clothos’ name.
I checked the etymology of "cloth" in OED, and the etymology of the Swedish cognate "kläde" in two Swedish dictionaries, Svensk etymologisk ordbok and Svenska Akademiens Ordbok. Nowhere there was any hint of the word being derived from Clotho. All three referred to an etymological relationship with inter alia clay, which according to one of the Swedish dictionaries actually was employed in the manufacturing process.
The removed sentence was contributed by User:Ryanwells77, in the only set of contributions by that user. Actually, the user is the main contributor to this article, and inter alia added eleven references.  I do not at all dismiss the possibility that this doubtful etymology may be found in one of these sources.  If that is the case, and if any-one may pinpoint where, then we might halfway restore the sentence, in the form
:It has been suggested by ... that the English word “cloth” should comes from Clothos’ name...; however, this is not in accordance with the etymologies ordinarily given for "cloth"....
However, IMHO, even in that case, this curiosum also as well could be omitted. JoergenB (talk) 21:13, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Was doing some skimming for a novel project and noticed the last paragraph in the Introduction statement. It seems a bit off, as if it's written awkwardly. There's also that piece at the end that's a bit doubtful, and a lack of sources and general non-objectivity on the subject. Someone wanna check it out? Here's what I'm talking about:
"As one of the three fates her contribution to mythology was immense. Clotho, along with her sisters and Hermes, was given credit for creating the alphabet for their people(SOURCE?). Even though Clotho and her sisters were real goddesses, their representation of fate is more focused upon in Greek mythology. Thread represented human life and her decisions represented the fate of all men in society. She is also known as Rita Bento in the mortal world."

As an aside, atropine gets its name from the plant it was derived from (Atropa belladonna). The genus Atropa was named before the isolation of the ingredient (atropine) responsible for the plant's toxicity, and thus the plant - not the chemical - was named because of its potential lethality.
