Overlooked topic in the 'The Chronicles of Narnia' article?

Hi,

I'm not sure how to ask/bring this up, but I was wondering if there is some mention due to the supposed late night conversation/apparent wager between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien that purportedly spurred each man to create their respective masterpieces, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings?

I had heard various iterations of this from different sources over the years and recently found this article on the topic:

http://dir.salon.com/books/feature/2003/12/03/tolkien_lewis/index.html

Thanks,

Lansharked (talk) 02:05, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The best place to look for verification of this would be Humphrey Carpenter's book "The Inklings". However, there is no mention of this in Carpenter's bio of Tolkien, nor any in A.N.Wilson's bio of Lewis, both of which I have read.
I have now read the first of the 3 pages of the article in Salon, and your summary appears to be misleading- there is no talk of a "wager" only a talk of a philosophical and literary discussion/dialogue of the relationship between myth, morality, religion and literary allegory. This conversation Lewis and Tolkien most certainly DID have, and it may have in part "inspired" them to create their fantasy works, but I do not think this one conversation would be regarded as the main or primary influence on them. The influence of their larger literary circle "The Inklings" would be just as important.--WickerGuy (talk) 02:15, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum
The main effect of this conversation on Lewis was his conversion to Christianity, not to write Narnia books. As for encouragement to write fantasy, this conversation was more pivotal in its effect on Tolkien than Lewis. Again, in no sense is anything here construable as a "wager".--WickerGuy (talk) 03:14, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Famous amateur chess players

I won't try to delete that category or really do anything with it at all, but I don't really see the need to categorize people based on their hobbies. Category:Famous amateur bridge players, Famous amateur poker players, Category:Famous amateur billiards players, Category:Famous amateur basketball players (include Barak Obama), Category:Famous amateur saxophone players (include Bill Clinton), Category:Famous knitters, .... Although lists and categories are not mutually exclusive, this is the sort of thing that I think should be only a list and not a category. Quale (talk) 04:44, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, especially since chess has titles that Wikipedia has articles on.Jasper Deng (talk) 04:46, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't even thought of the list-option. You may be correct that that is a better way to go, and I may change it. Of the four, I've listed now, three are creative artists whom chess had an occasional influence on their work (the chess-motif in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass being an obvious example.)--WickerGuy (talk) 13:37, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well done! List of famous amateur chess players is the best start to a chess list I've seen anyone do. I can support this whole-heartedly. I'll add a few categories to it and get it on the WP:CHESS radar and maybe you'll get more people to help work on it. Again, I think it looks great. Quale (talk) 04:58, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Terrific. And much thanks. How do I get an admin to delete the earlier category??--WickerGuy (talk) 13:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Eyes-wide-shut 2.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Eyes-wide-shut 2.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reverts at Kubrick

Hi. Good work with those recent rewritings and the source you just found, but please be careful not to remove valid tags. For instance, we can't expect the reader to know that Lolita is one of the most controversial novels out there. Once you know it, it looks obvious. But the article should bot be written for those who already know about it. Think out of the box. And mind WP:3RR. Respect, --damiens.rf 06:40, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kubrick

Hello, thanks for commenting on my talk page. Please be civil and refer to me with my proper username. I would appreciate it very much. It is my belief that removal of images that may not suit wiki policy is detrimental to articles. It serves little purpose when images can be fixed or brought to standard. I have not adopted the page so no work after the review was attempted.

The Seller's images on the Kubrick page will keep it from GA listing due to over weight of the use. Again, it's a matter of this being the Kubrick biography and not the article on Kubrick's work. A separate page could go into detail that the biography would limit.

Copyright and Fair use are topics that scare the bajeesus out of editors. They fear their favorite images being deleted. Simply going through the basics of image policy can keep this from happening. However...context is everything I read through the section and did not see the prose mention it, so I certainly apologize if I missed it.--Amadscientist (talk) 01:27, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the way...you didn't seem snappy over at the discussion. But perhaps you meant the way you referred to me.LOL! Which frankly...I think I sounded snappy above. Sorry bout that. I just hate when people don't use my real user name.--Amadscientist (talk) 04:15, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Pathsofglory3.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 01:23, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
