Talk:Stereopticon

message: Let's set the record staight...
A Stereopticon is NOT a Stereoscope.
A Stereopticon is a projector, which does not create stereoscopic images. It merely has two lenses that allow smooth transitions from one slide to another. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.74.164.138 (talk • contribs) .

Talk:William V, Marquis of Montferrat

message: To avoid further confusion: The page 'Rainier of Montferrat' is the father of William III, while the page 'Renier of Montferrat' is his son. Havard 23:41, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: It is true that this William was fourth, or third, (or perhaps fifth) of his family to rule with that name. However it seems that for some reason, genealogists have long ago attached "fifth" to him.
If the ordinals are now changed here, it means undesirable consequences for ordinals of his certain successors, who are established under ordinals that count him higher than third.
The background may be that they count some legendary ancestors, or like (not rare occurrence with medievals: Sweden has had apparently some six king Charleses somewhere in thin air). And it seems that before the 1st margrave of Montferrat, there was at least one ancestor William who was head of this family. 62.78.125.186 08:22, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This William is generally counted as V these days, certainly in the Italian Dictionary of National Biography; there were some previous co-holders of the title. I refer you to the website Circolo Culturale I Marchesi del Monferrato, which has the link to the Dictionary of National Biography article and other dynastic material.

Talk:John A. Gupton College

message: 3/10/09 This entire article is written primarily in passive voice.  Most high school English teachers would say that passive voice is very poor expository writing.  Someone should rewrite this article in active voice so it looks as though it is written by a college educated person.  
3/10/09 The article, as written, makes it appear that Gupton College has become a part of Vanderbilt University where it mentions selling to Vanderbilt.  On second reading I conclude that it only means the real estate was sold to Vanderbilt and that college operations moved to new facilities.

It's not the double single (which is a 7 song version) and not what is described as "the EP release" (suggesting there is only one version of the EP).

Corrugated cardboard rolls up into a trompe-l'oeil tree stump; wooden men play off-beat hymns with their body parts, all the time suspended from a huge tree; fully rigged ships are trapped inside wheels; an elephant made of aluminum foil is squashed against the wall, and Donatello's Mary Magdalene is reborn, made of exploded truck tyres.
