Talk:Ikkō-shū

message: to the authors of this article
Is this article about Ikko? Where is the defenition of Ikko? Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia but not a place for doing personal research. Please be laconic. There is much controversial information about what Ikko was not. But almost nothing is written what it really was. Please give the definition.

Talk:Ernie K-Doe

message: Listening to WWOZ tonight (11/5/20, the 7pm hour). Action Jackson is playing a K-Doe broadcast from the vault as part of the station’s celebratory 40 day countdown to their 40th ‘birthday’. Apparently some people at the time questioned whether he was born at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. He announced twice that he was born in “Nineteen and thirty-six,” and would have a Charity administrator on the show soon as well as frame a copy of his birth certificate to hang in the station.  It appears the author citing his birth year as 1933 in this page is wrong. I don’t know how to edit and don’t have time to figure it out, so I thought I would post this here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjazen (talk • contribs) 02:41, 6 November 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: The citation given for his birth year being 1933 is the Eagle and LeBlanc book, which is widely regarded as the most reliable source for birth details of blues and R&B performers.   Memorial plaques, gravestones, etc., are not considered to be always reliable.  But if enough sources give 1936, it can be added in as an alternative, with an explanation.

message: I undid this edit adding Buddy Bolden and Joe "King" Oliver as Laine band musicians. The edit was "sourced" in that it is referenced in a published book, but the claim at that book sounds very dubious. What is Adam Budofsky's source for making that claim?  None seems to be given for the statement. It seems incredible that after all the interviews with surviving musicians and the numerous books written over the decades, this astounding information should have been entirely unknown to jazz history until Adam Budofsky published it in 2006.

replies: text: I actually recall from the same time in SoCal that "a Brodie" was a maneuver performed on a bike.

message: "It was subsequently determined that Brodie had probably not actually jumped, but instead used a dummy he had hidden in the area." I must take this out.

Talk:Talking stick

message: I removed the following section from the article:
The talking stick was used in Native North American tribes at council meetings. It was used as courtesy not to interrupt a chief when he was speaking. The talking stick was then passed to the next council member who wished to speak. The stick was a ceremonial item and was decorated with eagle feathers and crystals to show its significance.
Some tribes used a talking feather instead of a stick, while others used a peace pipe, a wampum belt, a sacred shell or other object by which the tribe designated the right to speak
Nowadays it is used still by many groups, especially in groups of children or adults who need help preventing discussions from degenerating into cacophonies. It can make sure that people listen to what is being said and can help keep an interesting discussion focussed. In particular, it is used in talking circles.
A similar concept is that of the 'conch' in the book Lord of the Flies by William Golding. The only person allowed to talk during meetings is the one holding the conch.
