Talk:Filet-O-Fish

Untitled
The best thing on the menu, definitely.

"The ingredients of Filet-O-Fish are likely close to the McNuggets', only substituting chicken for fish." - This seems highly dubious. Arash Keshmirian 09:03, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

any chance of a source for the Catholic / fish thing - was it really this that MacDonalds based their decision on?

 * -Yes and no; the Filet-O-Fish was first created by a franchise owner in the Cincinnati area named Lou Groen. He created the sandwich so he'd have something to sell to the large Catholic and of Irish/German descent communities in southern Ohio / Northern Kentucky. Corporate bought the rights to use the sandwich and still pays royalities to Lou and his family (they still own a large number of franchises in the Greater Cincy area, I believe).

 * The sandwich is also in no way related to McNuggets...

I would also like to dispute the idea that the use of mayonase leaves any kind of unpleasant taste. I think this is bad for the mayo industry as a whole, and I think this is a matter of opinion versus a fact to be included in an encyclopedia. I think the taste of mayo makes Filet-O-Fish even better.

If you think it is so, but the in the people who I have talked to the general consensus has been that mayonnaise ruins the taste of the fish and that tartar sauce is a much better sauce. Also I am not specifically attacking mayonnaise, only when it is being served with the Filit-O-Fish Ghingo

vandalism?
can anyone confirm the latest anonymous edit with the 2006 "viral website"? I dont know if "viral website" is meaningful, and a source should be added to confirm this statement. Finally, since it is not directly related to the product, it should maybe go into a separate subsection ("trivia" or so). — MFH:Talk 04:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

The website was made directly as a promotional tool for the Filet-o-fish: it is directly related, so in my opinion should not go under trivia but remain where it is. Ghingo [ Filet - o - Fish are yummy ] :D

 * there was just some bit about how guys who eat it give off a smell that gets them laid, was unsourced, removed (probably vandalism)173.48.62.136 (talk) 05:06, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

halal?
the references to halal food and muslims eating filet o fish look spurious to me. raining girl 20:21, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems to boil down to whether certain types of fish are considered halal or haram; this isn't something that is universally agreed upon by all Muslims. The type of fish used in the "Filet-o-Fish" varies from country to country anyway, and in McDonalds in Muslim countries of course all of the menu items are halal. AdorableRuffian 10:12, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * It seems there are several sites, seemingly quoting McDonalds, in saying that the Fillet O Fish is NOT halal as it gets cross-contaminated. If someone can find an authoritative source on this then the article should be updated. 89.105.29.22 (talk) 10:33, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
 * looks like it's a myth http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/whatmakesmcdonalds/questions/food/halal/is-the-filet-o-fish-halal-is-it-prepared-in-lard.html 89.105.29.22 (talk) 10:36, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Added information on occurance of any animal ingredients and alcohol. Added a mention of it being Kosher in UAE; it is in SA too. McD in other countries don't bother with certification.--Artoria2e5 🌉 06:54, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Pronunciation of "Filet-O-Fish"
In some non-English-speaking countries, it is called a FishMac or a McFish.

At least that is easier to pronounce! How does one pronounce "Filet"... is it "fee-ay", "fill-ay", or "fill-utt"?

The spelling "fillet" (two Ls) is always pronounced "fill-utt" (or "fill-itt") here in the UK, but "filet" sounds French so it feels as if it should be pronounced that way. Then again, McDonald's is American, so I don't really know.

I much prefer "McFish" :-)

AdorableRuffian 10:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

My U.S. experience has always been "fill-ay." ...Posting on a Wikipedia article talk page about the Filet-O-Fish, good lord, what am I doing with my life?--4.245.23.94 09:35, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I've lived in the UK my whole life, and I've only ever heard very young children sounding the word out call it a fill-itt or fill-ett. Everyone I know calls it a fill-ay, and that's based on Cambridgeshire where I go to university and London and Hertfordshire where I grew up. And in 20 years of living in the UK, I've never heard fill-utt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.97.131 (talk) 08:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 * This is contradicted by the fillet (cut) article, which gives "fill-itt" as the correct pronunciation for British English (the OED agrees). Comments on the talk page suggest "fill-itt" is how it is pronounced in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand too. That's assuming you're talking about fillets in general, rather than the Filet-O-Fish or, say, filet mignon. 217.155.20.163 (talk) 03:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I've only ever heard it called "filet" (filay). Here in Canada the noun is pronounced 'filay' and the verb is pronounced fill-it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.180.199.227 (talk) 23:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Photograph
Is this diseased-looking thing an accurate representation of this menu item? I feel queasy just looking at it. 217.155.20.163 22:00, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, yes it is. TehPhil 14:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I've never seen a Filet-o-Fish look like that. Mrtea (talk) 15:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I agree. This is a horrible photo. It almost appears as if the steamed bun had been sitting out for a while, possibly under some dry heat, breaking the outer bun. Certainly there are others available for use? Roboleg (talk) 08:59, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

The picture needs to be updated since only a half of a slice of cheese is normally served on the sandwich. Even the website photo depicts this. Dsafford (talk)

Pineapple burger
The CNBC program "Big Mac: Inside the McDonald's Empire" featured an interview that stated that Ray Kroc was originally going to sell a burger with pineapple and cheese, thinking the Filet-O-Fish would not sell. In result, both were sold at the same time to see which customers would choose. In result, it was the Filet-O-Fish. This information is honest and true, if you don't believe me, watch the "Big Mac: Inside the McDonald's Empire" program, CNBC airs it occasionally. 70.186.202.243 (talk) 17:35, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Cheese slice
In Canada, each Filet-O-Fish sandwich only contains half a slice of processed cheese. Is this also the case in the U.S. and elsewhere? -- 24.212.139.20 (talk) 00:29, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

A kosher sandwich?
This may be a bit over technical, but is the statement, "For example, in Judaism, the fish used in the sandwich is considered kosher even without special preparation, whilst other meats would require special slaughter techniques to be considered kosher," misleading? Even if the fish patty itself is considered kosher, is the sandwich? Should that be made clear? __209.179.0.121 (talk) 19:37, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

I cannot find a good source on it being Kosher that I can read. It is the "most kosher non-kosher food" according to someone writing on tablet mag, with non-kosher referring to lack of certification and the entire shared kitchen thing. I don't read Hebrew or Arabic, so the McDonald's Israel website does not help at all either. So it all boils down to personal judgement, I think. (As an agnostic, I do find the idea of everyone sharing a nice fish sandwich that their God approves of quite nice.) --Artoria2e5 🌉 07:00, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 25 October 2019
The last sentence of the article reads, "In 2019 McDonald send a cease-and-desist letter to small Canadian restaurant over the use of the term Filet-O-Fish, claiming that it is a registered trademark." The restaurant chain is called "McDonald's" not "McDonald." The sentence also contains multiple typos (no comma after 2019, "send," which should probably be "sent," and no article before the noun "restaurant"). Moreover, McDonald's claimed that the restaurant's use of the term "Effing Filet O' Fish" to describe its fish sandwich violated McDonald's registered trademark, which is actually "Filet-O-Fish."

So the section should read: "In 2019, McDonald's sent a cease-and-desist letter to a small Canadian restaurant that was selling a fish sandwich it called the 'Effing Filet O' Fish.' McDonald's claimed that the restaurant's use of that term violated McDonald's registered 'Filet-O-Fish' trademark. In response, the restaurant agreed to stop using 'Filet O' Fish' to describe its fish sandwich." Aschepler (talk) 02:02, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

McMariner
On the 1974 menu for the UK's first McDonald's there's a fish burger called "McMariner" - was this the Filet-O-Fish under an alternative name or a different fish sandwich? Timrollpickering (talk) 15:46, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Burger
I made this edit because that content was way off in the WP:LEAD. WP:OVERCITE may be an issue as well. And possibly some WP:SYNTH. Related discussion at Reliable_sources/Noticeboard. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:09, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Also, the long quotes and the bold text in the "burger" refs comes across as overkill. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:23, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
 * So, if you look at other cases where things are called by different words in different national varieties of English–for example, petrol or diaper, we generally mention those differences quite early in the article – near the very start, or at least in one of the earlier sections. Even though the Filet-o-Fish is obviously of American origin, the fact that whether it is considered a sandwich or a burger varies between different national varieties of English ought to be mentioned relatively early. Especially since, whichever you call it, is likely to confuse speakers of other varieties of English who use the other term, and may not have a good understanding of the fact that different English varieties use those words in different ways. (By contrast, what it might be called in other languages is far less significant for the English Wikipedia, and belongs much further down the article, if it belongs at all; in that language's Wikipedia, that issue should be mentioned much sooner, if it it needs to be mentioned at all.) My motivation for this, is I found the existing article was written for an American English reader, and was not considering the needs of non-American English-speakers (it is okay, given this is an American product, to prefer American English in the article, but in doing so we need to explain to non-American readers aspects of American usage with which they may be unfamiliar) – which I think is another aspect of Wikipedia's widespread WP:BIAS problem.

Vandalism?
It states that the French version of the burger the McFish has tartare sauce instead of ketchup? But don't they have tartare sauce everywhere and never have ketchup? 2A00:23C7:2B8C:3201:EA25:A49A:DA50:CCB (talk) 20:46, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

 * By saying "substitutes ketchup for tartar sauce" I think it could mean either tartar sauce → ketchup, which was what was intended, or vice versa. I edited it for clarification. –CWenger (^ • @ ) 21:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

 * , normal people cannot understand why vandals get obsessed with certain articles. This one has been vandalized repeatedly going back to 2017. A far more obscure article, Aglet, has been vandalized off and on for nearly 15 years. Cullen328 (talk) 17:21, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That one I can understand, because the term "Aglet" was made much more well-known by a Disney cartoon from about that time. PRTheodore (talk) 18:05, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hermiston, Oregon

History
From the Oregon Historical Society

 * Between 1906 and 1908, the federal government built the first part of the Umatilla Irrigation Project, a large-scale development to divert water from the Umatilla River to farmers’ fields in northern Umatilla County. A 26-mile-long canal brought the water to the Cold Springs Reservoir, where a series of outlet pipes and canals carried water to crops. The project was funded by the 1902 Reclamation Act, which established a government agency to implement irrigation and hydropower projects throughout the West. The Umatilla Project gave birth to the city of Hermiston, six miles south of the Columbia River, where the project was headquartered. By 1920, there were 20,000 acres of irrigated land in and near Hermiston. Farmers primarily grew grains, peas, and potatoes that they shipped to Portland markets on railroads and riverboats. The U.S. Census reported that farmers produced 11,341 acres of wheat in Umatilla County in 1900 and 41,487 acres in 1909. Between 1900 and 1920, the population of Umatilla County grew from 18,049 people to 25,946 people.

 * In 1941, the U.S. Army acquired nearly 100,000 acres of land near Hermiston, where workers built the Umatilla Ordnance Depot. As many as 7,000 workers moved to the area to construct and work at the depot. In 1962, the army began to store chemical weapons at the depot.

WikiProject Tag
Does this belong on the talk page, or the main page of the article itself?EOBeav 00:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Project tags are placed on the talk page per the following from WikiProject Council/Guide

 * "'The banner should be added to the talk page of any article within the project's scope; if the scope happens to be well-defined by another factor—a category, for example, or a stub type—there are a number of bots which may be able to assist in placing it.'"

 * WikiProjects also have project specific stub templates for placement on the article page. -- J-M Jgilhousen 01:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

WOW!
I wish my first Wikipedia article was as polished on my first "save." Well done.

I expanded all the instances to include full citation information per WP:CITE. I used the optional citation templates, which help me make sure that I haven't missed dotting any i's. I replaced two citations with "Citation needed" tags, because the links had gone dead: School Board Notes, and Wired News. References to more permanent sources are needed.

I also replaced a couple of instances where Hermiston was referred to as "here"... a minor POV issue.

The only recommendation I'd make for this page, beyond some general expansion, and inclusion of a "History" section per the comment above, is one of personal preference and consistency. I love the great pic of Hat Rock, but it doesn't really illustrate Hermiston itself. Most infoboxes for towns and cities include a "skyline" or city scene shot. I think a snapshot of Main Street would give people more of a flavor of life in Hermiston. I wouldn't ditch the Hat Rock photo, just move it to a thumb in the "Geography" section.

All in all, you have created one of the better Oregon city articles. Hat tip, and all that. -- J-M Jgilhousen 00:21, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

That's great information to have. I will see if I can find a good royalty-free photo to use, or perhaps take one myself. EOBeav 19:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Free use photo found
Thought whoever reworks the "History" section might like to use this as an illustration. -- J-M Jgilhousen 05:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

WHY THE REDIRECT?
This is not the only Hermiston in the world. It is not the oldest, nor the most well-known. So, why is this page regarded as so important that things redirect here?

Typical wikipedia crap. Lame. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.47.100 (talk) 00:09, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Heywood Broun

Heywood Campbell Broun Jr. (December 7, 1888 – December 18, 1939) was an American journalist. He worked as a sportswriter, newspaper columnist, and editor in New York City. He founded the American Newspaper Guild, later known as The Newspaper Guild and now as The NewsGuild-CWA. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he is best remembered for his writing on social issues and his championing of the underdog. He believed that journalists could help right wrongs, especially social ills.

Career
Broun was born in Brooklyn, the third of four children born to Heywood C. Broun and Henrietta Marie (née Brose) Broun.

Broun attended Harvard University, but did not earn a degree. He began his professional career writing baseball stories in the sports section of the New York Morning Telegraph. Broun worked at the New York Tribune from 1912 to 1921, rising to drama critic. He started working in 1921 for the New York World. While at the World, he started writing his syndicated column, It Seems to Me. In 1928, Broun moved to the Scripps-Howard newspapers, including the New York World-Telegram. Broun's column was published in the World-Telegram until Scripps-Howard abruptly decided not to renew his contract. He was then picked up by the New York Post. Broun's only column appeared in that paper two days before his death.

As a drama critic, in 1917 Broun wrote about actor Geoffrey C. Stein in the controversial play The Awakening of Spring: "[...] Geoffrey Stein gave a ludicrously inadequate performance in the important role of Melchior. It was easily the worst performance we have ever seen on any stage." Stein sued the New York Tribune and Broun for libel; but in light of the judge's jury instructions, Broun and the Tribune won the case. A few weeks later, he had to review a production with Stein in the cast. His only mention of the actor was in the last sentence of his column: "We did not think Geoffrey Stein was up to his usual standards."

Broun coined the statement "Posterity is as likely to be wrong as anybody else". It is used widely, often in arguments about documentation and history. From 1927 to 1937, Broun wrote a regular column, titled "It Seems to Heywood Broun", for the magazine The Nation. His column included criticism of another employer, the New York World, who fired Broun as a result. Broun later left The Nation for the rival The New Republic.

In 1930, Broun unsuccessfully ran for the U.S.Congress, as a Socialist. A slogan of Broun's was "I'd rather be right than Roosevelt."

In 1933, along with New York Evening Post Editor Joseph Cookman, John Eddy of The New York Times and Allen Raymond of the New York Herald Tribune, Broun helped to found The Newspaper Guild.

Beginning February 8, 1933, Broun starred in a radio program, The Red Star of Broadway, on WOR in Newark, New Jersey. Broun was featured as "The Man About Town of Broadway." Sponsored by Macy's, the program also included musicians and minstrels. In 1938, Broun helped found the weekly tabloid Connecticut Nutmeg, soon renamed Broun's Nutmeg.

Personal life
In 1915, Broun met Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova and they quickly became engaged. She broke off the relationship to rejoin the Ballets Russes in 1916. On June 7, 1917, Broun married writer-editor Ruth Hale, a feminist who later co-founded the Lucy Stone League. At their wedding, the columnist Franklin P. Adams characterized the usually easygoing Broun and the more strident Hale as "the clinging oak and the sturdy vine." The couple had one son, broadcaster Heywood Hale Broun.

Along with his friends (the critic Alexander Woollcott, writer Dorothy Parker and humorist Robert Benchley), Broun was a member of the famed Algonquin Round Table from 1919 to 1929. His usually disheveled appearance led to him being likened to "an unmade bed." He was also close friends with the Marx Brothers, and attended their show The Cocoanuts more than 20 times. Broun joked that his tombstone would read, "killed by getting in the way of some scene shifters at a Marx Brothers show."

In November 1933, Ruth Hale divorced Broun. In 1935, he married a widowed chorus girl named Maria Incoronata Fruscella Dooley (stage name Connie Madison). Seven months before his death in 1939, Broun, who had been an agnostic, converted to Roman Catholicism following discussions with then Reverend Fulton Sheen and Reverend Edward Patrick Dowling,

Broun died of pneumonia, at age 51, in New York City. More than 3,000 mourners attended his funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan. Attendees included New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, columnist Franklin Pierce Adams, actor-director George M. Cohan, playwright-director George S. Kaufman, New York World editor Herbert Bayard Swope, columnist Walter Winchell and actress Tallulah Bankhead. Broun is buried in the Cemetery of the Gate of Heaven in Hawthorne, New York.

Hey

About P. V. Narasimha Rao
Why did you move the page to P. V. Narasimharao ? His name in English is almost invariably spelled with a space between Narasimha and Rao.

Arun 19:21, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

I initiated a discussion in Telugu language about people's names in Telugu. But sorry, I should have waited for mor consensus before making any changes.

Chinni 16:40, September 5, 2005 Seattle

Oh okay. I have moved it back for the reasons mentioned on Talk:P. V. Narasimha Rao, and we should reflect current and correct usage. BTW, since you know Telugu, could you add the spelling of his name in the Telugu script? It would be a nice addition to the page.

Thanks,

Arun 00:03, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

I just started working on my Telugu script (On computer).. As yet I don't know how to write Otthulu

Let us discuss topics like this together at Talk:Telugu language - Telugu names.

chinni September 5 2005

Telugu People
Hi,

great to see ur work. I agree with you when you say that there should be some convention. At least, one convention that seems to be followed is in terms of writing initials, such as N. T. Ram rather than N.T.Ram. Some articles are of the N T Ram type, but they are generally redirected asap to N. T. Ram. I think the best place to start looking for names would be under the category Telugu People. The category had only 53 entries till three days back; I've increased it to 120+. I think a better place for discussing telugu names wd be WP:INWNB as a lot of action happens there. btw, made a couple of changes on ur user page - link correction to s. v. ranga rao and change of link to savitri (prev., it was pointing to the Goddess Savitri. no article yet on the mahaa nati). Great to see the article on telugu literature; wd be contributing to it shortly. ---Gurubrahma 06:03, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

Proserpine, Queensland

Proserpine is a rural town and locality in the Whitsunday Region, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, the locality of Proserpine had a population of 3,614 people.

In the, the locality of Proserpine had a population of 3,614 people.

Geography
Proserpine is situated on the Bruce Highway.

Proserpine is located on the North Coast line with Proserpine railway station located in Hinschen Street in the town centre.

The town is located along the banks of the Proserpine River and is immediately surrounded by floodplains used for sugarcane and cattle farming. Clarke Range is located to the west, Dryander National Park is to the north, and to the east is Conway National Park.

The Clarke Range to the west of the town contains the small former gold mining town of Dittmer.

Proserpine is locally governed by Whitsunday Regional Council, a product of amalgamation of the former Shire of Whitsunday with the former Shire of Bowen. Proserpine is situated within the Queensland electorate of Whitsunday, and the federal electorate of Dawson.

History
The Gia people are the traditional custodians of the Proserpine area. Giya (also known as Kia) is a language of North Queensland. The Giya language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Whitsunday Regional Council, particularly the towns of Bowen and Proserpine.

George Elphinstone Dalrymple named the Proserpine River on an expedition in 1859. Proserpine derives from the legend of the Greek goddess Persephone (whose Latin name is Proserpine), named as such due to Dalrymple's perception that the area was exceptionally fertile, and Persephone being the goddess of spring.

The first British colonists arrived in the early 1860s with Daniel Emmerson forming the Proserpine pastoral station. Frederick Bode and William Dangar took up land at Bromby Park and Goorganga Creek, while Charles Bradley and James Colling established properties along the Gregory River.

In 1866, Inspectors John Marlow and John Isley of the Native Police, a government funded paramilitary organisation, conducted patrols through the Proserpine area. They and their troopers "dispersed" around six "large mobs" of Aboriginal people during this mission. Marlow used Daniel Emmerson's property for his stock-yard and bought horses from him.

The Crystal Brook Sugar Company was formed in 1882 and established a sugar industry in the region a year later. A sugar mill was built and the labouring on the plantation was performed by imported South Sea Islanders. In 1893 the plantation, which was located at Glen Isla close to the present Proserpine township, was closed and smaller sugar farms run by white owner-operators were established.

Proserpine Lower Provisional School opened on 16 August 1897. In 1904, it was renamed Proserpine Provisional School, becoming Proserpine State School on 15 March 1906.

St Catherine's Catholic School was established in 1925 by the Sisters of Mercy. It was a primary school named in honour of St Catherine of Alexandria. The school was on the northern side of Marathon Street, opposite Telia Street (-20.4039°N, 148.5857°W). In 2012, the school relocated to a new larger campus known as St Catherine's Catholic College, enabling the school to provide secondary education. In 1944, the Australian Field Experimental Station was constructed at Gunyarra just south of the town. It was constructed to test and research the effectiveness of Mustard Gas in tropical conditions.

Proserpine Airport (now Whitsunday Coast Airport) opened in 1951.

Proserpine State High School opened on 29 January 1963. Initially the school operated from single building but a second building was constructed during 1963.

In 1986, construction commenced on the Peter Faust Dam 25 km north-west of the town to be used for flood mitigation during the wet season and irrigation. The dam was completed in 1990.

In March 2017, Proserpine suffered extensive damage from Cyclone Debbie.

Iceberg theory

The iceberg theory or theory of omission is a writing technique coined by American writer Ernest Hemingway. As a young journalist, Hemingway had to focus his newspaper reports on immediate events, with very little context or interpretation. When he became a writer of short stories, he retained this minimalistic style, focusing on surface elements without explicitly discussing underlying themes. Hemingway believed the deeper meaning of a story should not be evident on the surface, but should shine through implicitly.

Background
Like many other writers, Hemingway worked as a journalist before becoming a novelist. After graduating from high school he went to work as a cub reporter for The Kansas City Star, where he quickly learned that truth often lurks below the surface of a story. He learned about corruption in city politics, and that in hospital emergency rooms and police stations a mask of cynicism was worn "like armour to shield whatever vulnerabilities remained". In his pieces he wrote about relevant events, excluding the background. As foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star, while living in Paris in the early 1920s, he covered the Greco-Turkish War in more than a dozen articles. As his biographer Jeffrey Meyers explains, "he objectively reported only the immediate events in order to achieve a concentration and intensity of focus—a spotlight rather than a stage". From the Greco-Turkish War he gained valuable writing experience that he translated to the writing of fiction. He believed fiction could be based on reality, but that if an experience were to be distilled, as he explained, then "what he made up was truer than what he remembered".

Definition
In 1923, Hemingway conceived of the idea of a new theory of writing after finishing his short story "Out of Season". In A Moveable Feast (1964), his posthumously published memoirs about his years as a young writer in Paris, he explains: "I omitted the real end [of "Out of Season"] which was that the old man hanged himself. This was omitted on my new theory that you could omit anything... and the omitted part would strengthen the story." In chapter sixteen of Death in the Afternoon he compares his theory about writing to an iceberg.

Hemingway's biographer Carlos Baker believed that as a writer of short stories Hemingway learned "how to get the most from the least, how to prune language and avoid waste motion, how to multiply intensities, and how to tell nothing but the truth in a way that allowed for telling more than the truth." Baker also notes that the writing style of the "iceberg theory" suggests that a story's narrative and nuanced complexities, complete with symbolism, operate under the surface of the story itself.

For example, Hemingway believed a writer could describe an action, such as Nick Adams fishing in "Big Two-Hearted River," while conveying a different message about the action itself—Nick Adams concentrating on fishing to the extent that he does not have to think about the unpleasantness of his war experience. In his essay "The Art of the Short Story", Hemingway is clear about his method: "A few things I have found to be true. If you leave out important things or events that you know about, the story is strengthened. If you leave or skip something because you do not know it, the story will be worthless. The test of any story is how very good the stuff that you, not your editors, omit." A writer explained how it brings a story gravitas:

"Hemingway said that only the tip of the iceberg showed in fiction—your reader will see only what is above the water—but the knowledge that you have about your character that never makes it into the story acts as the bulk of the iceberg. And that is what gives your story weight and gravitas."

- Jenna Blum in The Author at Work, 2013

From reading Rudyard Kipling, Hemingway absorbed the practice of shortening prose as much as it could take. Of the concept of omission, Hemingway wrote in "The Art of the Short Story": "You could omit anything if you knew that you omitted and the omitted part would strengthen the story and make people feel something more than they understood." By making invisible the structure of the story, he believed the author strengthened the piece of fiction and that the "quality of a piece could be judged by the quality of the material the author eliminated." His style added to the aesthetic: using "declarative sentences and direct representations of the visible world" with simple and plain language, Hemingway became "the most influential prose stylist in the twentieth century" according to biographer Meyers.

In her paper "Hemingway's Camera Eye", Zoe Trodd explains that Hemingway uses repetition in prose to build a collage of snapshots to create an entire picture. Of his iceberg theory, she claims, it "is also a glacier waterfall, infused with movement by his multi-focal aesthetic". Furthermore, she believes that Hemingway's iceberg theory "demanded that the reader feel the whole story" and that the reader is meant to "fill the gaps left by his omissions with their feelings".

Hemingway scholar Jackson Benson believes Hemingway used autobiographical details to work as framing devices to write about life in general—not only about his life. For example, Benson postulates that Hemingway used his experiences and drew them out further with "what if" scenarios: "what if I were wounded in such a way that I could not sleep at night? What if I were wounded and made crazy, what would happen if I were sent back to the front?" By separating himself from the characters he created, Hemingway strengthens the drama. The means of achieving a strong drama is to minimize, or omit, the feelings that produced the fiction he wrote.

Hemingway's iceberg theory highlights the symbolic implications of art. He makes use of physical action to provide an interpretation of the nature of man's existence. It can be convincingly proved that, "while representing human life through fictional forms, he has consistently set man against the background of his world and universe to examine the human situation from various points of view."

Early fiction and short stories
Wendolyn Tetlow believes that Hemingway's early fiction such as "Indian Camp" shows his lack of concern for character development by simply placing the character in his or her surroundings. However, in "Indian Camp" the use of descriptive detail such as a screaming woman, men smoking tobacco, and an infected wound build a sense of veracity. In other words, a story can communicate by subtext; for instance, Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" does not mention the name of the procedure, although in the story the male character seems to be attempting to convince his girlfriend to do it. "Big Two-Hearted River", Hemingway explains, "is about a boy ... coming home from the war ... So the war, all mention of the war, anything about the war, is omitted." Hemingway intentionally left out something in "Indian Camp" and "Big Two-Hearted River"—two stories he considered to be good.

Baker explains that Hemingway's stories about sports are often about the athletes themselves and that the sport is incidental to the story. Moreover, the story "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" which on the surface is about nothing more than men drinking in a cafe late at night, is in fact about that which brings the men to the cafe to drink, and the reasons they seek light in the night—none of which is available in the surface of the plot, but lurks in the iceberg below. Hemingway's story "Big Two-Hearted River" is ostensibly about nothing, as is "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place", but within nothing lies the crux of the story.

Novels
Hemingway scholar Jackson Benson further believes that the omission Hemingway applies functions as a sort of buffer between himself as the creator of a character and the character. He explains that as an author creates a "distance" between himself and the character he "becomes more practiced, it would seem." Benson says in Hemingway's fiction the distance is necessary, and successful in early fiction such as in The Sun Also Rises, but if "the author does not deliberately create such distance the fiction fails," as in the later works such as Across the River and into the Trees.

Baker calls Hemingway's Across the River and into the Trees a "lyric-poetical novel" in which each scene has an underlying truth presented via symbolism. According to Meyers an example of omission is that Renata, like other heroines in Hemingway's fiction, suffers a major "shock"—the murder of her father and the subsequent loss of her home—to which Hemingway alludes only briefly. Hemingway's pared down narrative forces the reader to solve connections. As Stoltzfus remarks: "Hemingway walks the reader to the bridge that he must cross alone without the narrator's help."

Hemingway believed that if context or background had been written about by another, and written about well, then it could be left out of his writing. Of The Old Man and the Sea he explains: "In writing you are limited to by what has already been done satisfactorily. So I have tried to do something else. First I have tried to eliminate everything unnecessary to conveying experience to the reader so that after he has read something it will become part of his experience and seem actually to have happened." Paul Smith, author of Hemingway's Early Manuscript: The Theory and Practice of Omission, believes Hemingway applied the theory of omission in an effort to "strengthen [the] iceberg".

Legacy
In October 1954, Hemingway received the Nobel Prize in Literature. He jokingly told the press he believed Carl Sandburg and Isak Dinesen deserved the prize more than him, but the prize money would be welcome. The prize was awarded to Hemingway "for his mastery of the art of narrative, most recently demonstrated in The Old Man and the Sea, and for the influence that he has exerted on contemporary style." A few days after the announcement, Hemingway spoke with a Time magazine correspondent while on his boat fishing off the coast of Cuba. When asked about the use of symbolism in his work, and particularly in the most recently published Old Man and the Sea, he explained:

"No good book has ever been written that has in it symbols arrived at beforehand and stuck in ... That kind of symbol sticks out like raisins in raisin bread. Raisin bread is all right, but plain bread is better. ... I tried to make a real old man, a real boy, a real sea, a real fish and real sharks. But if I made them good and true enough they would mean many things. The hardest thing is to make something really true and sometimes truer than true."

Unspecified source for Image:Americans1899.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Americans1899.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Speedy deletion of Image:Cityflag.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Cityflag.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is a redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Old discussions
Could someone please add more info to the books section, for example info on the second wave of comics. And could someone please give the superhero name of Ororo Munroe in Amalgam? --Jamdav86 09:13, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I just clicked on the newly-added French version. It has some useful info in it, so could someone please incorporate it into the english version? --Jamdav86 16:26, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I made a larger, Vectorized version of the Amalgam logo yesterday. You're welcome to use it, but then again, I'm not positive what the image policy is here. Just know that if you want to use this (or tell me to fix something so you can) feel free. http://qwilman.com/misc/amalgamvector.gif 71.228.134.136 17:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it really necessary to have a complete list of Amalgam characters in the article? Because there is a list available here, and as you can see, it isn't short. --Pc13 12:49, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't really understand the problem. If the article get's too long we can still split the list and move it to a seperate article. And the fact that information is already available at another place really shouldn't be a criteria for inclusion in Wiki. --Fritz S. (Talk) 17:05, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Suggest merge of Terra-X into Amalgam Comics.
Suggest merge of Terra-X into Amalgam Comics. Per WP:FICT, fictional characters have to have a reasonably high level of notability to get their own articles. Examples are Superman and Anakin Skywalker. Terra-X needs to level up quite a bit to reach that level. --John Nagle 06:11, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose The Amalgam Comics entry is not structured in such a way that merging makes sense. It would detract from the Amalgam entry in style and lead to it becoming a catch-all article. Plenty of other Amalgam Comics characters have their own article and I'd like to know why John Nagle picked Terra-X out of that list before I could even consider it. CovenantD 13:58, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Most of those characters don't meet the WP:FICT criteria for notability: Non-notable minor characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be merged with short descriptions into a "List of characters." This list should reside in the article relating to the work itself, unless either becomes long, in which case a separate article for the list is good practice. The list(s) should contain all characters, races, places, etc. from the work of fiction, with links to those that have their own articles.  The Terra-X article only has three sentences of character-specific material; that's a good paragraph for a merged article. For a good example of such an article, see List of Mavericks. That's far more readable than a big collection of tiny articles. Good pictures, too.  --John Nagle 05:59, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment I think it would make much more sense to merge all the X-Patrol characters into that article. --Fritz S. (Talk) 16:03, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks like somebody spent a lot of time in the last day or two creating individual pages for many Amalgam Comics characters from that article. You should talk to that person about it. CovenantD 16:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I (Crablogger) have spent a long time setting up all the X-Patrol pages, including Terra-X. If you're going to merge them all into Amalgam Comics, then what would be the point? The team itself has enough information to stand in its' own thread, and I fail to see what good a merger will do. You haven't merged Super-Soldier or the Judgement League Avengers, so why pick on the X-Patrol?
 * I think it would make sense to merge all the various characters related to that article into the X-Patrol article (not into Amalgam Comics), as – unlike Super-Soldier or the Judgement League Avengers – they are all very short and I doubt the articles will emerge their stub status in the future.

 * Merging into X-Patrol instead of Amalgam Comics makes sense. There's already a list of characters there; just fill that out a bit and you'll have all the info from the individual articles in one place. The general idea of WP:FICT is that works of fiction have articles, but individual characters have to be really big before they do. --John Nagle 07:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

None of the individual Amalgam characters are even close to being notable enough for separate articles as fictional characters. I'm sorry if people have spent a lot of time on these articles, but that's no justification for keeping articles that fail Wikipedia's standards of notability. They should all be condensed and merged into this article (because Amalgam as a whole is notable). - JasonAQuest (talk) 18:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Collected editions
Could someone add what is reprinted in each collected edition? (Emperor 15:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC))

 * I can do three of the four collected editions, since I own those. By elimination, I should be able to figure out what was in the other collected edition. RobJ1981 01:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Here is what's on the collected editions (even though I don't think it's note worthy to list any of them on the main amalgam page):

-Amalgam Age of Comics (DC Comics collection): Amazon #1, Assassins #1, Doctor StrangeFate #1, JLX #1, Legends of the Darkclaw #1, Super Soldier #1.

-Amalgam Age of Comics (Marvel Comics collection): Bruce Wayne: Agent of SHIELD #1, Bullets and Bracelets #1, Magneto and the Magnetic Men #1, Speed Demon #1, Spider-Boy #1, X-Patrol #1

-Return to Amalgam (DC): Bat-Thing #1, Dark Claw Adventures #1, Generation Hex #1, JLX Unleashed #1, Lobo the Duck #1, Super Soldier man of war #1

-Return to Amalgam (Marvel): Challengers of the Fantastic #1, Exciting X-Patrol #1, Iron Latern #1, Magnetic Men featuring Magneto #1, Spider-Boy Team-up #1, Thorion of the New Asgods #1

List of Amalgam Comics Characters
Is it safe to merge all the Amalagam character articles into a list article? There really isn't much information on any one character for Amalgam. One list article seems like it would be alot better. RobJ1981 21:17, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think they should rather be "collected" in articles for each title, e.g. all characters appearing in X-Patrol into that article. See the Suggest merge of Terra-X into Amalgam Comics discussion above. That way there can still be some prose on each, which would probably be too much for the list in this article.--Fritz S. (Talk) 06:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I looked at many of the Amalgam character articles, many of them hardly have anything. A list page would be alot better. Amalgam wasn't around that long, it really doesn't need character pages (especially when there was only 24 issues total: and several of the characters only appeared 1 or 2 times overall). Many of the pages that do have alot, have information that was only speculated at (in the letters pages of some comics). I really don't think that's very notable. RobJ1981 18:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree completely. I love the Amalgam concept and execution, and it certainly deserves to be documented here, but this level of detail about what amount to throw-away single-use (OK, sometimes double-use) characters is excessive.  "It exists" may be sufficient reason to document something in someone's "Encyclopedia of the OCD Universe", but Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. - JasonAQuest (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Earth-9602 vs Earth-692
Has there ever been any reason as to the change in the Earth designation number from Earth-9602 to Earth-692? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Redknight (talk • contribs) 18:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC).

Cartoons?
Didn't they do cartoons for Iron Lantern, Dark Claw, and Aquamariner? See no mention of it in the article. mcnichoj (talk) 23:39, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

The cartoon advertisements were fake.--174.130.200.24 (talk) 03:12, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Is Earth-496 the Amalgam Universe in the DC multiverse?
I think that Earth 496 is the Amalgam universe in the DC continuity as the DC Wiki says that the Amalgam Universe is Earth 496. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:1705:535:A440:DFF8:7AE0:D07 (talk) 09:20, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Marvel Parent Company: Disney?
The sidebar lists Disney as the parent company. This was not true at the time of this relatively brief event. Is there a consensus that the current parent company is always the most appropriate one to list?

Reprint
The Amalgam comics will be reprinted in an omnibus edition in August. Stein256 (talk) 00:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
