thread_title: Untitled

message: I now think this article ought to be merged with Tin-glazing, for two reasons.
1. There is considerable overlap in material between the two articles.
2. The opening statement in this article, that "Maiolica designates Italian tin-glazed earthenware dating from the Renaissance," is not supportable.  True, the word was orginally used to designate Italian tin-glazed earthenware, but it is now more widely used to describe tin-glazed earthenware of other periods, e.g. The New Maiolica, a book by Matthias Osterman which describes tin-glazed earthenware being made today.
It would be less confusing for the reader to have a comprehensive article on tin-glazed earthenware, including Renaissance maiolica, earlier Islamic tin-glazed wares, Delft, faience and modern tin-glazed studio pottery.  This would follow the precedent of Alan Caiger-Smith's comprehensive account in Tin-glazed Pottery.  Marshall46 15:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A better suggestion: create an article Tin-glazed pottery. Draw together succinct versions of the current maiolica, majolica, faience etc etc, each précis with the usual italicised hatnote Main article.... Final step, an introduction concerning general historical developments and techniques, (i.e. a condensed version of the article tin-glazing). The reasons for separate articles on maiolica and faience will appear from a first scan of the two, distinct relevant literatures. Nested articles, such as these could be, are at the heart of encyclopedic treatment. --Wetman 21:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Intro 

message: Wetman has replaced the statement that glaze materials had to be imported, which I removed.  Cipriano Piccolpasso says that glaze was made from sand, wine lees, lead and tin.  I believe the tin came from Cornwall but sand and wine lees were local.  I am not sure about lead.  Even many of the oxides were locally abundant: iron and manganese, for example.  He says that cobalt came from Venice, which may mean “imported”.  Marshall46 (talk) 18:08, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Marcus Didius Falco

message: I haven't read the whole series, but reading the summaries, it appears that somewhere in the text already written, Falco eventually attains equestrian rank and officially marries Helena Justina.  Where in (or between) the books do these two important events take place?

Talk:Lancaster County Convention Center

message: This article is extremely one-sided.  It fails to mention the public dissent and division caused by this project.  Nor does it discuss the many other issues that have clouded this project and it history, including but not limited to:
- Risk to taxpayers
- "Private" up-front investment of $11 million toward a $170 million "private-public partnership"
- The reasoning behind dramatic increases in cost and floor space since the project was proposed
- Coercion and threats by the PSP against the LCCCA
- Multiple changes to State law to benefit this project
- Demolition of a building on the National Register of Historic Places
- Partial demolition of historic buildings, including Thaddeus Stevens' home
This sounds very much like a promotional piece written by one of the groups behind the project.  Bias does not suit Wikipedia.

Talk:The Ghost Train (play)

message: Something I have not been able to verify is the statement that this play is the "most produced play in British repertory theatre". The Mousetrap might have played the most continuous performances, but The Ghost Train has been cited as having the most productions.
I also heard that all of the cast Members of Dad's Army had at one time been in an Arnold Ridley production of the play. The story goes that, if he heard a pal was down on his luck, Ridley would invite him on one of his periodic repertory tours. After years of such charity, he was written into Dad's Army as a thank you.
It's one of those "nice" stories that fits with the Private Godfrey persona.

Talk:17th Air Division

message: This article has a lot of information and could be a B class article if attention was given to the following issues:
* introduction: the article needs an introduction that summarises the entire article (currently it does not have this);
* in line citations: another must for a B class, at least one per paragraph or block of information;
* a more comprehensive narrative - also as mentioned above by a frustrated reader the opening of the history section does not make sense. It refers to "the wing", but what wing - I assume it is the 17th Bombardment Training Wing as detailed below the offending section, but this should be spelt out clearly;
* finally it will need a copy edit.

60 to 70 bpm is a lowish normal resting heart rate. 35% of that is 21 to 25 bpm. Daniel Green holds the world record for the slowest heartbeat in a healthy human, with a heart rate measured in 2014 of 26 BPM.

Talk:White Schnauzer

message: The article says "The following copyrighted article/excerpts on the history and Coat Color Inheritance in the White Miniature Schnauzer has been reprinted by permission by Karin Rice of Rice's Miniature Schnauzers". It seems like an excessively large block of text (it takes up most of the article) to be quoting from a copyrighted source, even if it is with permission. Wikipedia is supposed to be largely GFDL licensed, but three quarters of this article are copyrighted. That section can easily be rewriten (and should be, it completely contradicts and ignores the manual of style). I'm not entirely sure that a lecture on genetics is within the scope of this article. On a slightly different subject, this article seems to be quite pro-white schnauzer (using such phrases as "ignorantly thought..." or "ignorance rumors" or "some people claim by their fictitious pedigree", all of which violate WP:WTA).

Category talk:Grammatical cases

message: Although a minor consideration, the numbering and ordering of grammatical cases is inconsistent and in places contradictory (see particularly Proto-Indo-European language, Nominative case, Vocative case, Instrumental case, etc.)
Whilst it may be that different authors and sources prefer different orderings, when this is the case references are desirable - and from the perspective of study, consistency is highly desirable (for example in the creation of mnemonics).
If it were practicable, it would be helpful to standardise the ordering and numbering of cases.  Recognising however that the number of cases varies considerably among languages, I can only ask if it would perhaps be possible to standardise according to language families.
I am not qualified to do more than observe and note this issue; perhaps someone else could help?
