Save for Dubliners?[edit]
I haven't re-read The Dalkey Archive in ages, but I thought the Joyce character said that Oliver St. John Gogarty wrote most of the stories, while he, Joyce, wrote only a bit of one, and that Gogarty needed some patsy in whose name to publish, so as to protect his reputation. I.e. the character of Joyce says that, essentially, he didn't write Dubliners, either. Am I wrong? Geogre 18:48, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Oh hell, I probably made a mistake; I don't doubt that you're correct, and my memory is faulty. I'm going to go ahead and remove my change to the article, because I'm in the office and don't have the book at hand. Cobra libre
Well, my head has been leaking a bit lately, too, so I could be wrong, but I liked the way that it was a complete reversal of the usual story about Dubliners -- that Gogarty wrote a bit of one, but it was really Joyce. Anyhow, it's not such a big deal, although I do want to get refamiliar with all the novels again soon and do a big addition. (E.g. someone has in there that At Swim-Two-Birds has nothing but recycled characters because there are too many characters in the world already. Well, in the novel, the narrator says that he has a friend who says that there are too many characters, but there is no statement that the narrator agrees or that it is his intent. Further, I really don't know if Furriskey and the others are extant characters. I assumed that the person who put that in knew something I didn't about Irish Westerns. He or she may have, but, then again, may not.) Brain leak is a common malady, and you've been doing most of the heavy lifting on the article, so put it any way you're comfortable.

- Wow, I had never heard that story about Gogarty and Dubliners. Nor did I remember the reference to that story in The Dalkey Archive, which just goes to show that I shouldn't have been making edits related to that novel! (My self-education in things Joycean is ongoing, and was largely reinstigated after first reading Flann O'Brien a couple years ago.) The details of At Swim-Two-Birds are becoming cloudy for me, but I think you're correct about it; I had always assumed that Jem Casey, Furriskey, et al were caricatures of types of people or characters rather than actual appropriations from existing literature... though I can't claim to have enough familiarity with Irish literature of that time to really know. Thanks for keeping an eye on the article and for your excellent contributions! Cobra libre 22:49, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of foods that sweat[edit]
The article List of foods that sweat has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non notable list and seems to be more of a joke than anything else as toast does not sweat but the water vapour molecules in the hot toast condense on the cold plate, and cheese loses it moisture because of the osmosis created by the salt content. i tagged as a hoax but this was refused so here goes a PROD.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
