Talk:Shanghai Noon

message: "The idea that a urine-soaked silk shirt is strong enough to bend the bars of a prison cell when wrapped around them and twisted was tested on episode 26, season 2 of MythBusters. It was determined that the shirt would break long before the bars would in real life." 
It should be noted, that the experiment and the scene in the movie were not similar, in the sense that in the movie, the bars were long, and in the experiment, they were short. The point of this is, that the shorter the bars become, the harder they are to bend. It's like taking a stick and breaking it in half, and then in half, and then in half again. Even though the thickness of the stick (the diameter) remains the same, it gets harder to break, the smaller it becomes. Same principle with the bars. The movie used approx 2 meter high bars (I think it's about 6'8") where as Mythbusters used something closer to 15 cm bars (about 7"), meaning it would require much more force to bend the short bars than the long ones. So the experiment is not valid compared to the movie. --Hecko 20:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Although he only played 3 games for Fitzroy, he is notable for other reasons and therefore, in my opinion, should be included. I have also added Doug Nicholls, for the same reason. This list is always going to be debatable. For example, someone has mentioned at foot of the article if Doug Hawkins should be included. In my view, he should not because he became notable as a Footscray player and as such, should be included on their list. Food for thought. Spy007au (talk) 12:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Speight's

message: "Dunedin has a public bylaw that prevents the drinking of alcohol in the main streets of the city." Not a correction as such, but to expand: many local governments have similar bylaws, usually only applicable during major public celebrations such as New Year's Eve and in family-friendly places like parks and beaches. Interestingly, a similar New Zealand law has since been enacted to apply year-round and to the country as a whole... despite a typo discovered just as Parliament were to vote on it, which -- instead of making the obvious consumption of alcohol in public places illegal, as was the intention -- effectively even carrying alcohol from a store to your vehicle for transport to a private residence became illegal.  As the law needed to be passed quickly to be in force for an upcoming holiday season, Parliament chose not to amend the wording and passed the law as written; however the Police were directed not to enforce the law literally as the effect would be to close down the (tax cash-cow!) liquor sales industry overnight.
I disagree with the statement that the three stars come from the Otago Coat of Arms. If I recall correctly - the stars represent the supposed quality of the brews in the manner of the Scottish 60 shilling, 70 shilling, 80 shilling and 90 shilling designations. To support this contention I cite that in the now distant past, Speights brewed a 2 Star (Hokonui Ale), the 3 Star version, now so well known and on special occasions a 4 star bitter. They also once brewed a very popular 1072 lager (in 13 1/3rd ounce bottles (375mL), which was a delight to taste. Sadly, no longer. 47.72.47.167 (talk) 05:26, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Well, yes, but surely there's room somewhere for these mostly true "claims of controversy," even though perhaps the only sources are the SpamCop web site, Forum and FAQ? SteveT (talk) 02:44, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I think a web forum can absolutely not be used to provide evidence of a controversy.  Besides not being a reliable source, spam fighters and anti-spam services are notoriously prone to smear campaigns by spammers.  To make sure we're not just repeating claims made by individual members of an astroturfing campaign, any controversy we cover must be covered by a reliable source unconnected with SpamCop.  The only reference in the portion of the article I removed was to the SpamCop website, and even then it did not acknowledge the existence of any controversy.

thread_title:  Dopefish rises 

message: Right now there are a few listed appearances that I feel are somewhat questionable. The Dopefish is well known for appearing in a large number of commercial games by a wide range of companies, but these are simply fan made games/mod things. From what I can tell, SuperTux and Eternal Daughter are freeware games, while Fortress Forever is an as-of-yet unreleased mod for Half-Life 2. While I assume that the Dopefish makes a legitimate appearance in all of them somehow, I can't exactly speak for their notability. I know for a fact that the Dopefish has been in dozens and dozens of fan made projects, but of course, listing all of them here would be overkill. Should these three appearances make the cut? MarphyBlack
As the above user notes, there are quite a few listed appearances that are definitely questionable - the most obvious example being that of M.U.G.E.N., which is a game-creation ENGINE which compiles text files into a playable game and most CERTAINLY does not include Dopefish (though, of course, anyone can create and distribute a Dopefish character, this is obviously not notable). I'm removing the mention of M.U.G.E.N. for that reason, and I suggest that others more knowledgeable about the games on this list look through and remove other invalid entries. Freely-distributable fan-made mod content for official games probably shouldn't be on this list. 70.118.112.83 22:48, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should freeware/fan made appearances be counted? 

message: I removed Quake 3 image, and replaced it with image from standard game that was already on the page.  The reason I did this was because if you put in one cameo appearance, where do you draw the line?  All this info is already at dopefish.com.  Furthermore, the placement of the image with the two dopefish on it that was at the top of the page was formatted poorly.  It's placement was sitting on top of article text, that should not be allowed to happen.  I strongly suggest we do not put cameo images back again for the reasons I stated here.

thread_title: "Songs?

message: I'm wondering whether Heller actually studied under Czerny.  This article says he was sent (by whom? - his previous teacher, Franz Brauer?) to Vienna to study under Czerny, but he was unable to afford Czerny's expensive fees, so he studied with Anton Halm instead.
This is actually a bit ambiguous as to whether he studied with Czerny before he studied with Halm - I think it could be interpreted that, upon enquiring with Czerny, he immediately found that his fees would be too high, so he went away without any study with Czerny; but I think it could also be interpreted that he did a certain limited amount of study with Czerny before realizing that if he continued it would run his money down too much, so he left, and then went to Halm.
Another article (Isidor Philipp) states that Heller was a student of Czerny, without any qualification, so I wonder what information that was based on.
Given that the two articles differ about the exact relationship between Czerny and Heller, it would be good if it could be resolved one way or the other, and then both articles made to agree.
I find that, not too infrequently, different Wikipedia articles which mention the same fact do sometimes disagree in some details (the exact publication year of a book is an especially common example).  I suppose it would be almost impossible to eliminate this fully, but I suppose any examples should be noted in the talk pages, so that maybe some person who knows the truth, or has access to books which would give reliable information, could resolve some of these differences.
This difference about the relationship (degree of actual study) between Czerny and Heller would be a typical example of this.M.J.E. (talk) 09:05, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
