Talk:Eva Amaral

message: I know Eva's played some instruments for Amaral, at the very least guitar and harmonica, but the "instruments" section just says voice. And clearly, that's what she's best known for, and probably 80 or 90% of the time that is her only contribution to Amaral's music (wonderful though it is :P ). Anyhow, is that section meant to be exhaustive (if so, guitar, harmonica, and probably other instruments should be listed) or just a general overview (leave it with just voice)?

Talk:Hanover bars

message: Care to add any picture displaying "Hanover bars"? I've only ever hear them mentioned by Americans and consider them a myth, actually. Or do you actually mean dot crawl or its complimentary effect where improper isolation of cheap composite cables results in crosstalk from the luma to the chroma wire (while dotcrawl is the other way around)? After googling for hours, I've found this technical diagram at least, but it didn't tell me much either. --87.154.23.91 (talk) 18:36, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture? 

message: Since Hanover bars occur only in the PAL system and there is very little to address on the subject, I think this article should be merged with the article on PAL. There is little more to say on the matter of Hanover bars than what is already in the stub.
Zacabeb (talk) 15:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggestion to merge this into the PAL article 

message: What is seen in the current picture is actually crosstalk from the luma wire to the chroma wire inside a poorly isolated composite video cable (most likely of the Belling-Lee connector variety), nicknamed rainbow swirls, which is the complementary error to dot crawl, i. e. crosstalk from luma to chroma, which is also seen in the picture here. Bottom line: What we see here is errors typical of poor composite video connections, not of PAL. --84.143.9.245 (talk) 01:23, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe a Philips Pattern was not the best choice for illustrating the problem, as attention is drawn to the artifacts you mention. Still, it seemed a good idea to use a recognized test card for illustration. The Hanover Bars are visible in the color bars and the 'colorless' signals in the outermost columns. I'll see if I can produce comb filtered versions of the examples. Zacabeb (talk) 21:19, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The page was full of puffery and unverified claims from the organization's own web site, as well as many statements that presented virtually no relevant facts. I removed much of same, and added to the sponsorship list from their website. I would like to emphasize I have no personal relationship to the organization. I am a reporter who was researching them as a sponsor of an advocacy organization I strongly disagree with. I urge others closer to the organization to present positive facts about them.
In editing this page, I choose not to include several items I found by the organization CEO that connected him with controversial subjects such as racism charges against Mitt Romney and support of Cuba, and articles in publications of Louis Farrakhan and <I>Human Rights</I>.

message: Galiano Island, an island in the Strait of Georgia, is named for Alcalá Galiano. The Canadian warship HMCS Galiano was likewise named for him.
Actually I just assumed the ship was named for him and not for the island. I don't know. Either way it comes from the man's name ultimately. Since the HMCS Galiano shared its work with the HMCS Malaspina, and Galiano was one of Malaspina's main officers, I just figured the ship-namers had the people in mind. But I don't really know.

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: The lede states: "In 1524 he explored present-day Nova Scotia sailing South along the Maine coast." This contradicts the article in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography cited herein as a main source, to wit: "The theory generally accepted by historians (Harrisse, Biggar, Ganong, Hoffman, etc.) that Gomes made his voyage north-south, is based on an erroneous statement by Antonio Herrera, and evidence is overwhelmingly against it. (For a discussion of this problem, see Vigneras, 196–97). It is most likely that the stop-over at Santiago de Cuba took place on the way to America and not on the return trip, and that Gomes made his voyage south-north, as Verrazzano had done a few months before."

Talk:García de Silva Figueroa

message: See Talk:Persepolis#Self-contradiction. Seems to be completely false. He may have been the first to transcribe the Persian name for the ruins into a modern European language but that has no bearing on whether someone else had already correctly identified the ruins as Persepolis. Looks like the English already had.
The phrasing here seems even more incorrect, since he didn't identify "Takht-e Jamshid" as anything. He talked about the ruins as "Chilminara". — LlywelynII 18:36, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Hernando de Alarcón

message: Emended the following:
:Alarcón is almost unique among the conquistadores in that he treated the Indians he met with intelligence and humanity, as opposed to the insane, murderous and destructive behavior that was otherwise the norm. "The Indians had an experience they were never to repeat: they were sorry to see these white men leave." (Bernard de Voto: "Westward the Course of Empire" 1953.)
Although factually accurate, De Voco's legitimacy for the observation is somewhat questionable, and "insane, murderous, destructive" don't really maintain a encyclopedic tone. The article would be well-served by comparison of actual examples: the Hispaniola governors hunting Indians for sport versus ... what? Obv., Alarcón used pejorative terms reporting on the Indians, but what do we know about his actions and beliefs and how are they different from the other conquistadores specifically? -LlywelynII (talk) 15:11, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
