Since the math formatting isn't done correctly, and the format of the page is in a wiki-style, and since Nethelper.com.au appears to be largely or perhaps entirely copies of wiki pages without any visible citations, I'd say it seems pretty clear that Nethelper just trawls Wikipedia (and possibly other sites) for content. Their "about us" page (http://www.nethelper.com.au/aboutus.php) is also fairly suspicious.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.3.246.231 (talk) 21:18, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

message: What's up with the use of Molvadia instead of Moldova. When the name is Moldova in the actual land, the neighboring Romania, and else where, why do you plain and simple weird people insist on using Molvadia ? London is  London for example not, Londra as in romanian, or Lourdes as in french.
So why would you butcher a name in an encyclopedia ? 
Like someone else said quote  It is not used either by the Republic of Moldova or by Romania to describe the region of Moldova. It's not even very commonly used in English, I'm pretty sure that any English language article would use the Romanian spelling.

message: Coats of arms are approved by the rulers and deputies of the country or region of any country. Historical region Moldova is not a country. On the territory of the region there were various historical states (the Moldavian principality, the Romanian kingdom, the Russian Empire, the Moldavian Democratic Republic) and now there are three countries on its territory. Which country has the right to approve the coat of arms and the flag of the historical region? Can it be more correct to talk about the coat of arms and flag: the Moldavian principality, the Romanian kingdom, the Russian Empire (Bessarabian province), the Moldavian Democratic Republic, Romania, the Republic of Moldova?

Talk:Diapason

message: Thank you whoever you are for including this artickle in the Wikipedia.  Until today this word had no meaning for me other than the name of one of the mysterious thingies on my grandparents' organ.  Now to look up vox humana.
----
Is there any reason not to merge the "in harmony" section of this article with octave? The Greeks may have called the interval "diapason", but "octave" is much more familiar today, I think. --Camembert
----
1 <= f2^n <= 2
has to be
1 <= f/2^n <= 2
that is the same as
1 <= 2^(lg(f)-[lg(f)]) <= 2
----
First use of the word "Principal" is potentially misleading, it is a synonym of the stop name. The necessity for and fundamentality of the stop are matters for debate -certainly there are organs which do not possess diapasons
A Stopped Diapason is not generally regarded to be a Diapason but a flute pipe. The stopt pipework produces little of the even numbered harmonics - this is what gives the "hollow" sound.
----
Although it is generally considered acceptable to group Montre, Præstant and Prinzipal under the generic heading of Diapason Type stops, there are important timbral differences between these. As a generalization, in comparison to the "typical" English/American Open Diapason the Præstant (whether mounted or otherwise) tends to possess a degree of flutiness whereas the Germanic Prinzipal is harder in tone.
Of course, any attempt to categorise organ stops has to take into account variations within each regional group in terms of period, predominant musical genre and builder/client preference and, as in most things musical, there is a degree of subjectivity in any description of timbre. NSA66 22:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The Tibia Clausa is not a diapason. Although, arguably, the most frequently used rank on a theater organ (and, as such, somewhat analogous to the diapason ranks of a classical organ in terms of function), it is actually a large-scaled flute rank operating on high wind pressure. Most extension/unit organs, if designed with any versatility in mind, tend to have a diapason rank as well as the usual imitative flutes, tibia, strings and reeds. NSA66 22:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Wikipedians who think its pointless to declare an "end to revert wars" without advocating another means of solving disputes:
* Lirath Q. Pynnor
* Anthony DiPierro I don't see what's wrong with revert wars in the first place.  They're a symptom of a much more difficult problem: getting thousands of people across the world to agree on a single version of a page. Stopping people from reverting an article more than a certain number of times a day isn't going to solve that.
* Tannin (With reservations: i.e., I respect the point but recognise that we have to be more proactive with persistent troublemakers.)
* Cyan
In rare cases, one might consider having more than one version of the page. Sounds radical, but might resolve some edit wars and since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopaedia, it doesn't have to be exactly like a paper encyclopaedia.

Talk:The Robber Bride

message: There is more to the book than just the plot...
This is a story about the workings of friendship. Roz, Charis, and Tony know each other since college times (U of Toronto) in the 60s. Now, these three very different women meet regularly for lunch. Zenia, a fourth college "friend" has taken advantage of each of them, one at a time, during the past decades. Still, the memory of her haunts them, and their friendship is to a great extend based of sharing both deep contempt for her as well as admiration. 
A Postmodern Novel
The story is told from the perspectives of the three women. The narrator's language adapts to the personalities of the characters. 
The structure of the narrative is non-linear. This does not mean, however, that it is hard to follow the plot. In circular narration, Ms. Atwood uses enough narrative devices to make clear what time, space, and person she talks about.
A pleasure read for those who enjoy pondering what binds people together so they call each other friends – meanness, even abuse, as well as solidarity. And, on a liguistic level, listening to the three women is a pure delight.

thread_title:  Eye 

message: I (and lots of clever people who keep telling me what to do) thought that this word (and it's derivatives) should actually be dilatation, due to the construction of the word from its stem.

I think this should at least be pointed out as an issue of conflict, or changed.
