Talk:How the West Was Won (TV series)

message: This show was a smash hit with a lasting and deserved popularity in several European countries, but it's sometimes said that it didn't make any major impression on U.S. audiences. When you watch it, it certainly looks like it would have been a winner on the American tv market too - it's epic, exciting, suspenseful but not extremely violent and with solid scripting and acting.  On the other hand, westerns were very out of fashion in America at the time. Could some Americans give their opinions on how much of an impression HTWWW made in the USA (or in Canada?) Was it a hit or a sleeper? Has it been re-aired later on?Strausszek (talk) 10:13, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Piano Sonata No. 30 (Beethoven)

message: Piano Sonata No.30 in E Major, Op.109 is the first of his late piano sonatas (Opus 109-111). 
now i wonder whether it should be "Opus 109-111"(singular) or "Opera 109-111"(plural). Or simply "opp. 109-111"?

thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: I've removed all the speculation (translated from the German WP article) as to whether Maximiliane Brentano was the immortal beloved, or otherwise who else. Maximiliane almost certainly isn't a leading contender, but anyway nobody really knows. The German WP article doesn't identify which of Solomon's writings is its source, but his book appears not to mention Maximiliane. This doesn't really affect our understanding of the sonata, so it seems pointless to speculate about it. --Stfg (talk) 16:39, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Immortal beloved 

message: "Then the third movement is – most unusually for a sonata – a theme and variations." Not unusual at all; examples from Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven himself abound. Also, it may be worth mentioning that Beethoven had originally promised his publisher "an opus of three sonatas," suggesting that he saw his final trio appearing as numbered sonatas under a single opus number, like his Op. 31. What an opus number that would have been! They seem, to me, to belong together, but that certainly is not subject to any kind of proof or verification. Opus131 (talk) 03:59, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I expect it should not be hard to find statements along those lines; we can hardly be the first to have felt that opp. 109, 110, and 111 form a set, just like op. 2, op. 10, or op. 31. I agree that a variations-movement is not unusual. A variations-finale, like op. 109 and op. 111 have, is more unusual, but even there examples are not hard to find (off the top of my head: Haydn's String Quartet op. 54 no. 2, Mozart's Piano Concerti KV 453 and 491 and String Quartet KV 421; Beethoven's Third Symphony). It is also worth noting that Beethoven was soon going to come up with the grandest variations-finale anyone had ever came up with in the finale of the Ninth Symphony, which is simultaneously a four-movement work, a set of variations, and a concerto sonata form with double exposition.

message: The article says that the COBRA terrorists in this cartoon arn't the same ones in GI Joe. Not sure what the legal situation was; but I own this series, if you watch the episode its clearly the same group; in fact GI Joe are called in at the end of the episode to deal with them (a special military unit). Even if just a nod or homage, it still stands that they look exactly the same. Might have to rewatch it but pretty sure they also have the Cobra logo on their uniforms or other items.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.58.46.101 (talk) 04:41, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I am seeking an e mail or snail mail address.  Of little significance to his Biography, but fun for me, is that in order to improve his performances he traveled to the US to be coached by Vern Wolfe who had had success with Dallas Long while in high school.  While Les was at Foothill, Vern was selected coach at USC and Les followed him there in 1984.

Talk:Jack Thompson (activist)

message: A gif illustrates a quote about 'efficient killing skills'. It's 1.44 MB (over 16 times the size of the entire article text) and adds absolutely nothing. I'd like to remove it. Thoughts? 79.79.249.181 (talk) 07:14, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The file size isn't really relevant, which leaves the argument that it adds nothing. I'm afraid I don't agree. It illustrates a genre of games that Thompson specifically object to. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:23, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: File size is relevant because not everyone has near-unlimited bandwidth, and waste is waste (yes, it's an ethical argument). It's also distracting from the text - rapidly moving images do that. The animation shows nothing being killed, efficiently or not, and anyone reading this is likely to have seen or played shmups. So what value is it?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.79.250.8 (talk) 06:20, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. While file size may not be that relevant nowadays, it adds nothing to the article. In fact, I also felt that it distracted, especially since it shows content from a game that isn't even mentioned in the article at all. If anything, it should show game play that Thompson really was on about, but then again, all relevant titles are mentioned and gameplay can easily be found on Youtube, so there is no point on showcasing an animated gif and of an irrelevant title to boot. 212.86.53.124 (talk) 20:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Where, and importantly, when did the Washington Post describe them as "far right?"

Talk:Value judgment

message: There is, in fact, an article in Wikipedia called "value judgment." The link "rightness" points to the incorrect article. In context, it should lead to the concept of things valued (good, just, correctness, truth), not to "right" as in a right( as in legal or human, etc.) or the right (a position along the political spectrum.)--71.194.154.169 07:46, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

message: This is also an economic term, so, err, what to do about that? --Getalifebud 16:05, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Economics 

message: I question the categorization of two senses of "value Judgment" as positive and disparaging.    These our superficial and unwarranted by common usage.  Value judgments can be very praiseworthy to one person and highly repulsive to another.  A person who carefully considers a topic and decides that his beleifs are best expressed one way; is no less to be disparaged than another who voices her opinion without hesitation.  These two sentences are poorly thought out and should be removed.
In its positive sense,a recommendation to make a value judgment is an admonition to consider carefully, to avoid whim and impetuousness, and search for consonance with one's deeper convictions, and to search for an objective, verifiable, public, and consensual set of evidence for the opinion.
In its disparaging sense the term value judgment implies a conclusion is insular, one-sided, and not objective — contrasting with judgments based upon deliberation, balance and public evidence.

thread_title:  Psychology 

message: I have removed the proposed parallel with geometry, which is forced and diversionary. The idea that a set of mathematical axioms is a "value system" does not appeal to me, and if it is to be used the interpretation has to be developed in much more detail. My efforts to do this were unconvincing to me, so I had to drop the matter.
To elaborate somewhat, a set of axioms is more naturally viewed as a set of rules for playing a game. You can play chess or checkers, but the rules of the games are hardly value systems. Brews ohare (talk) 19:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
