So what is this one for? It looks a bit limited, but I don't know your broader intentions. human

- The content doesn't matter, the formatting was important. Lyra (maelstrom) 14:15, 17 May 2008 (EDT)
Great idea[edit]
But I think you should also make the trolling comments bigger. Oh, and make it blink too. 89.132.239.149 (talk) 18:27, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- I think I detect some sarcasm...
- The idea is to have a way to clearly label MCing without having to delete it (contrary to RationalWiki:Community Standards) or take the time to archive it. Lyra § talk 18:30, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- It's been done, just stick it in small tags or a collapsebox.

Music[edit]
What is the background music? (Guessing Wagner, but cannot pinpoint the specific work.)

- Easy guess from the source... http://www.utexas.edu/courses/wagner/193.mp3 ... but indeed, what opus? ħuman

- It is the final few minutes of Gotterdammerung. Which, if you've seen/heard the Ring cycle, are some powerful few minutes. Uke Blue 06:39, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
- I always found Wagner's music to have a very leaden and plodding feel to it, and the average Baroque triumphal chorus to blow it right out of the water.

- Humph. I feel the exact opposite way. Wagner can be very gratuitous (chord. silence. chord. silence. dame chord. silence. same chord. silence. same chord. silence. etc.) but he has some truly magnificent moments, like Siegfried's funeral music, Wotan's farewell to Brünnhilde, the prelude to Rheingold and Tannhauser, the end of Gotterdammerung... I could go on... Uke Blue 02:15, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- I own the entire Solti/Vienna Phil. ring cycle on "compact disc". Amazing. ħuman
