Talk:Aglaophyton

message: Actually, Aglaophyton majus since it is neutral.
Uocila (talk) 13:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In taxonomic practice, Aglaophyton is treated as a masculine noun, despite the apparent neuter ending.  All significant paleobotanical texts use Aglaophyton major as the name.  If you believe this is an error, you would need to propose a nomenclatorial correction in a scientific journal such as Taxon.  Wikipedia cannot publish original research, so we must follow the name used in the literature, even if we believe it contains an error. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:08, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a palaeobotanist as well and have some experience with the Code rules. Compounds on -phyton are the case of the article 62.2.c. The correction of adjective ending is not regarded by the Code as a nomenclatural change according to 32.7. If I have an occasion to mention Aglaophyton majus in a publication, I will do it in a grammatically correct form, of course.--Uocila (talk) 07:19, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: This is now an issue that can be added as a comment in the article, since papers by well-known palaeobotanists have now begun using majus, so I have added a reference to this. MisterCDE (talk) 23:27, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:List of United States Air Force fighter squadrons

message: I've removed the units that have been redisgnated as another type of squadron (bomb, test, flying training, etc) in an effort to control the length of the various squardon lists.  I am open to discussing the nature of the list and include former fighter squadrons, however, I'd like to get a concensus before we do. Ndunruh (talk) 00:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that some you removed are back on the list, so someone must disagree with you.  I think it would be a good idea.  Double-counting "fighter squadrons" that have had more than one number (e.g. alotted to the ANG), I would estimate there would be in the neighborhood of 600 candidates for inclusion.  If the list is limited to those whose last designation was "fighter squadron" (i.e. excluding Fighter-All Weather, Fighter-Bomber, Fighter-Day, Fighter-Escort, Fighter-Interceptor, Strategic Fighter, Tactical Fighter would make the list more manageable, but I think less useful.  Perhaps a list of Fighter Squadrons limited to those that returned to this designation since 1991 woould be useful, but I think a new title would be needed.--Lineagegeek (talk) 01:07, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Mikea people

message: The Madagascar article says Bantu settlers may have been preceded by the Mikea hunter gatherers which suggests that Mikea is an ethnonym. But here it is defined as a social identity. Do they see themselves as a people/tribe and do they have a common origin?
* Working on this now. More to come soon. - Lemurbaby (talk) 15:07, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: It is problematic to describe the Mikea as a "lifestyle" because the term is used in sociology to refer to modern societies, and specifically practices of defining identity through consumption within global commodity culture (see the work of Anthony Giddens and David Chaney in particular). Since the ethnic group in this case is traditional, the term is inappropriate in this context. While the term "subculture" is also often associated with modern youth-cultural social groups since the 1950s (as in Dick Hebdige's much-read book), it can be used in a more general ethnographic sense and given the nature of the social group being described seems to be a more apprpriate term in this case.

Talk:Songs of Travel and Other Verses

message: This stub topic about Stevenson's poetry is directly related to the following topic:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_of_Travel.
Composer Williams sets Stevenson's prose to music. This other topic, like Williams' music, elucidates the content of Stevenson's Songs of Travel and Other Verses.
However, we don't have a topic on the literary work in the first place. How to handle this situation? I submit this question to veteran Wikipedians. My minimal hope is that we provide a link, embedded in an appropriate sentence about the prose. I drafted such a sentence, but would like help, as I lack familiarity with Stevenson's overall work.
(added 06:05, 28 January 2008 by editor Grygiu)
:I'll check around & see what we have for other poem cycles, by Stevenson or others. The Vaughan Williams composition uses only a portion of the whole collection, so perhaps a listing of the complete work, with dates, would be useful. For example, I'm trying to figure out if the last line of "Bright is the Ring of Words", "And the maid remembers", refers to Kaʻiulani. Stevenson used to sit under the Banyan tree on Kaʻiulani's estate and tell her stories - there is in fact a small plaque on the spot in Honolulu noting this. If that were the correct interpretation, it changes how I perform the song.

thread_title: Merge into Fermat's Last Theorem?

message: Years ago I recall reading a story (I think it was in Asimov) about Fermat's Last Theorem.  The protagonist was supposed to have come up with a solution and some time traveling college students of the future were there to find out how he did it.  Due to some particle leakage in their equipment, the protagonist started to have flashes of the future, which ended up helping him meet and couple with a fellow mathematician, and eventually to IIRC solve the theorem, with some minor interaction with the time travelers (something along the lines of "why are you following me?" and "oh no, our special futury viewoscope is leaking hallucinogenic future particles").
Anyone have any clue what I am talking about?  -- Shoone (talk) 19:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename to "Fermat's Last Theorem in popular culture"? 

message: I do not bet on anything, but what odds would one get, when claiming that the mentioned whole phrase, cited in non-scientific, popular environment, would not refer to Wiles' proof? I think the target were not even FLT itself, possibly staying unbeknownst in the crowd, but about the methods relevant in the proof. So, adhering to the WP rules, I see not the slightest chance to have this trivia in the article. This is not fully reasonable to my measures, but whatever, no hard feelings on my side. Purgy (talk) 09:58, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks more like a reference to the modularity theorem, not FLT. We would need the author of those lyrics, or someone closely associated, to confirm the connection, otherwise putting into the article amounts to original research. ~Anachronist (talk) 14:19, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:1996 PPG Indy Car World Series

message: For some reason, the official Champ Car site (see references) does not include the final point standings or provide details of who won the bonus points for most laps led. The points totals here are generated using the mathematical formula for points according to position, plus the bonus point for pole position, all of which can be determined from the standings on the official site. To infer the "laps led" points, I referred to my own videotapes of most races in this season, which sometimes state the winner of that point, or show points totals that differ from those indicated by the mathematical sum of the start and finish position. I believe I have correctly applied most of the 16 points awarded for most laps led in each race, but it is possible that the points indicated on this page are off very slightly for this reason.

Talk:Salon music

message: Chopin's music is "too good" to be salon music?  Is this phrase mainly used for second-rate or derivative pieces? DavidRF (talk) 19:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, "salon music" is rather a pejorative term. It generally describes a type of music of a more superficial, lighter character, less serious in both construction and rhetoric, that aims to please a more popular taste and often could be easily sold on the retail market, rather than fulfill purely artistic aims or designs.  For example, nobody would ever characterize the Beethoven string quartets as "salon music", yet they could be performed at a salon gathering and often are.  The divertimenti of Mozart, in contrast, could easily be characterized this way even though they are compositions of real artistic merit; more to the point, he wrote them as background music for his patron's parties.  Only the very best composers can write in this genre and still produce works of real and lasting artistic value, hence the description of Chopin's music being "too good" to describe it that way. Mantovani, Lawrence Welk, and Liberace are not. Laguna greg (talk) 16:42, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this term derogatory? 

message: I think this is rather a false distinction, and a misleading one ultimately.  Many of the artists listed in this section had major, influential careers in the 20th century e.g. Kreissler, Heifetz, Casals et cet. that cannot be compared with someone like Thalberg in the 19th, who was something of a circus act by all accounts and whose compositions are long gone from the rep because they're so cheap.  Even the transcriptions of the little pieces Casals and Kreissler made are too serious or well done to be classed in this genre, the bulk of them anyway.  And everybody still plays them.
