Talk:Semantic change

message: Beautiful, delightful and remorseful could all be said as "full of beauty, delight or remorse". I don't think that it behooves the reader to throw other linguistic terminology at them for issues that are understood to them (-ful) and not fully understood to them (how -ful is a bound morpheme that comes from the free morpheme "full", etc.)
I guess, what I'm trying to get at is why it would be necessary to overly "jargonize" an intro snipet to Semantic Change with other heavy linguistic terminology, seemingly just added for its own sake. To me, portunhol, chillaxing and frappuccino are portmanteaux, not words like "awful" that simply underwent internal orthographic changes because of morphemic shift. Save the introduction of other linguistic jargon for more authentic examples.

:However, Blank's (1998) categorization has been gaining more and more acceptance:
:*metaphor (= change based on similarity between concepts, e.g. mouse 'rodent' > 'computer device'; Grzega (2004) paraphrases this as “similar-to” relation)

Talk:Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party

message: There's recently been some back-and-forth edits to the article over whether to characterize the official Democratic Party of Mississippi in the 1960s as "white-only" or "white-controlled/dominated." Neither are wrong, but I think "white-only" is more accurate. When you registered to vote in Mississippi of that era (as with other Deep South states) you were not able to register as a member of a particular party. There was no place on the registration application to select party preference. Party membership was entirely controlled by the party apparatus who determined who was, and who was not, a member for the purposes of running for office, participating in party meetings and caucuses, and voting in the party's primary election. In Mississippi of that time, the Democratic Party rejected blacks and other nonwhites from membership. Party primaries were "white-only," African-Americans who attempted to vote in the Democratic primary had their ballots set aside and rejected. Blacks who tried to participate in party meetings were barred at the door. It may be that there were some blacks or other nonwhites who agreed with Democratic Party principles or voted for Democratic candidates, but since they were not allowed to participate in party activities at any level, they were not members of the party in any practical sense

Talk:Konstantin Yuon

message: I'm not convinced this date of birth (1875) is correct. One of Yuon's paintings is on display at the Weisman Art Museum and they've labeled it with his date of birth being 1857. A Google search in inconclusive, with about 20 hits for 1857 and 50 for 1875. They also had this painting labeled as "Trinity Monastery in Winter, 1910", not "To the Trinity, 1903". Angela. 22:44, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Angela, The birth date of Yuon is certainly 1875, All Russian cites I have checked (Including, say Tretyakov Gallery site) tells 1875, 1857 is also incompatible with his biography, so it should be somebody's typo that went over the places unchecked. The second question is more complicated, I would check with the uploader of the image abakharev 23:39, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Great Soviet Encyclopedia gives October 12 (24), 1875 as his birth date. He joined the Moscow Art School in 1894, i.e., at the age of 19. As for the date and proper title of the Trinity picture, I confounded the View of the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra from Vokzalnaya Street, 1911 (which is a proper title) with To the Trinity, 1903 which is similar but different. --Ghirlandajo 11:45, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Ledger line

message: How is the highest note on the keyboard commonly written for clarity?? It needs 5 leger lines even if the 8va symbol is used. Georgia guy 22:53, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume you're referring to the piano. 15ma can be used instead of 8va in some cases. Thus, the highest note of the piano is just two leger lines above the treble clef with 15ma. If you're writing a couple of isolated notes up there, it makes sense to use 15ma. But if you're writing a scale run of two or more octaves, a pianist would probably prefer to see leger lines, even if ten of them. Volunteer Sibelius Salesman 19:47, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I believe they are called "extraocular muscles," because the muscle itself is located outside of the eye, not because of where they attach/originate.  There are muscles located inside of the eye as well - the dilatator pupillae, sphincter pupillae, ciliary muscles.  Those muscles might be called the intraocular muscles.

While it is true that, by and large, the national bank system was not as stable as the Federal Reserve system, it is difficult to stand by comments such as "people did not trust the banks" without at least providing a citation.
