Talk:Cheetah (band)

message: I was not sure if 'Cheetah' is a band or a duo. They did perform with a backing band but are marketed as a duo I think, as the full band was not on the album covers. Therefore, I felt it was better to label them as a duo rather than a band.PeterMan844 (talk) 18:37, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Reason for the move.

message: I was at said festival (worked there as security) and the Reading grounds can't hold 120.000 people in one go.  The max was/is around 60.000.  Keep in mind that the Reading Festival was a three-day endeavour and as such I can see 40.000 people attending per day, which would amount to 120.000 over the whole week-end.  As far as I can remember, the biggest crowd for one day was in 1983 when Black Sabbath were top of the bill (with ex-Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan on vocals) with an attendance of just over sixty-thousand.  I must add that I worked at the Reading festival from 1980 til 1983 so I can only speak for those four years.
In 1982 Iron Maiden was top of the bill on Sunday, but there were two other "top of the bill" bands on friday and saturday and as such, Cheetah having played "together" with Iron Maiden is an exaggerated point and serves only to shed an ameliorated light on Cheetah's performance, as if Iron Maiden playing at the same venue on the same date would make Cheetah's performance 'better'.  Standing in the shadow of giants doesn't make you any bigger.

thread_title: Who is in the video?

message: I've been searching for the video of the cricket highlights that made use of this song. This article is the only reference to it that I could find, but I remember it. It could have been in one of two series: "Total international series" 1992/1993 (South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies) or "Mandela Trophy" 1994/1995 (South Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, New Zealand). Those were exciting years for cricket for South Africa (SA had just returned to international sport) and a period of great political- and emotional turmoil (Nelson Mandela's release & political power changing from white to black). The video footage was simply cricket highlights (or lowlights - injuries, dropped catches, etc.), but the combination with this song was very appealing (pun intended).  If you know how/where to find this video, please add a comment.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.171.137 (talk) 10:54, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:John Grandisson

message: , what source supports this: ? And how is  NPOV or relevant? Perhaps such Latinisations are in fact clever and amusing. Srnec (talk) 00:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they are clever and amusing, I agree, but clever and amusing can also be absurd. That's why so much has been written on this topic. I think it was Horace Round (PS, no it was GEC Complete Peerage, Vol.3, 1913, Appendix C, p.610) who commented on the most famously absurd one (a knight whose name appears as de Aureus Testiculos, "from the golden-balls"), which certainly made me chuckle. It must have been coined by a very clever scribe, with a mischievous streak. As for de Grandisono (As for example seen on his seal; also as on his father's writ to attend Parliament (GEC Complete Peerage, vol.6, p.60) literally "from the big noise"), I think all WP requires when translating from foreign languages is "competence", not defined. So I'm self-declaring myself "competent" in this area. I went so far as to give the grammatical breakdown for those unfamiliar with Latin. (de + ablative of grandis-e and of sonus-i (m)); the crest of the Grandson family of Grandson, Bergundy (from which the Bishop was descended), was A bell argent with motto: à petite cloche, grand son ("from a little bell a big noise"). If a better source is required, add a cn tag and one will be supplied. That's the proper way to do it, not just to delete all the text. All it takes for someone who wants to improve this article in this regard is a quick google, which produces a source: Armorial General, By Johannes Baptist Rietstap, 1950, p.816. WP is a collaborative project. It also tells us that the crest was "une cloche d'or" (a gold bell"). By the way I think the addition "Grandisson donated the tenor bell in the south tower of Exeter Cathedral. Named "Grandison" is an excellent one. That was a big and clever joke played by the Bishop ("from a little bell a big noise"), which makes no sense/impact if the text on the Swiss family's motto is deleted. Naming of bells is known to be an opportunity for clever word play. I have restored the text, with the improved ref. Lobsterthermidor (talk) 12:09, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've tried to remember my original source for this practice of absurd Latinisations - I did the work about 10 years ago when I was new to WP and cannot put my finger on the source at the moment (I think it was Horace Round), but a flavour of the discussion is as follows, by Thorne, ed. of the Phillimore series of Domesday Book translations (no page number) : "William malbanc, is William Bad-Bench, but the context, whether a prank-inspired collapsible seat or bad carpentry (an incompetent bricoleur) or something else, is unknown; just as Hugo malus transitus/ malt(r)aversis Hugo 'Bad Passage' (i.e. Maltravers) or 'Poor Crossing', but whether he had got himself shipwrecked or was 'difficult to get pastin battle',as Tengvik suggested, is uncertain".

message: The chronology of the squadron history given here in the 1986-1987 time frame, and also the source it is derived from, are both wrong. The actual and true chronology is based on my first hand knowledge - I was a Naval Flight Officer (NFO/RIO) in the squadron during that time, but I'm unaware of how to change or document this. VF-111 was in workups for the first seven months of 1986 with numerous training exercises/detachments both ashore (NAS El Centro CA, NAS Fallon NV) and afloat aboard CVN-70 (RIMPAC '86 in and around Hawaii and others). From August 1986 until February 1987, the squadron deployed to WESTPAC and the Indian Ocean on USS Carl Vinson, conducting Bering Sea operations and numerous air intercepts of Russian aircraft off of the Kamchatka peninsula in transit, and port calls in Subic Bay/Cubi Point, Pusan KOREA, Singapore, Diego Garcia, Perth AUSTRALIA, Mombasa KENYA, and was scheduled for Karachi PAKISTAN but diverted a few hours prior to arrival due to an uprising. It was part of the entire battle group being in port at Perth for Christmas 1986, while the America's Cup race was in progress. Flight operations were conducted over the Philippines, Australia, and Oman during that deployment, as well as extensive blue water operations at sea. IndianaCrockett (talk) 19:38, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

As mentioned in the article, "Blues historian Gerard Herzhaft notes 'This spiritual probably dates back to the beginning of the blues'[1]", but does not mention any specific predecessors. In his James biography, Calt writes about several earlier pop-style (for the time) songs that inspired James, but nothing about Cox. He goes on to call James' song "an ambitious rearrangement... which comes across as neither a pop nor blues song, but something completely unique." [p. 322] Both Cox's and Lonnie Johnson's songs follow the typical 12-bar I–IV–V blues structure, while Calt identifies James' song as 8-bars, although he seems to drop/add beats here and there. Do you have any reliable sources that make a connection between James' and Cox's songs? —Ojorojo (talk) 17:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not just the title (Harlem Hamfats also recorded a song called "I'm So Glad", which is clearly a different song). It's the structure and the lyrics, which are extremely close. I have a pretty large collection of acoustic blues recordings and I've not heard anything else that's really close to this. And in answer to your question, no, I don't have a reliable source for this claim, which is why I didn't put it in the article. This definitely qualifies as original research, but I figured that was okay for the talk page, at least.—Chowbok ☠ 03:08, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Many may not agree that they are "extremely close": 8-bar structure ≠ 12-bar and only the opening lines are similar. Also, Cox sings about getting her lover back ("I got my daddy back and all my cryin' days are through", etc.), which is why she's glad. James doesn't say why, but repeats "I'm so tired of moanin', tired of groanin', tired of moanin' for you" several times, which is missing in Cox's song. But as you say, it's all original research, so it's definitely not for the article. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:49, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
