Talk:French words and phrases

message: These have to be the least helpful phonetic spellings I've seen in a long time.
I don't speak French, and with the given phonetic spellings, I doubt I would pronounce these words properly.
I at least can count to 10 in French, so I know how those are really pronounced, but the pronunciations I would infer from what's written here are way off. In fact, they're so far off from how I believe the French word to be pronounced that I would not only say this page is unhelpful, but that it conveys false information. For example, 6 rhymes with "fleece", not with "mice", and 9 is not two syllables.
For example, spelling the syllable "enne" as "enne" is only begging the question, though I suppose it would be pronounced "en". Remember, you're not spelling these words for French speakers, who after all already know how to pronounce all of them, but for English speakers.
Don't use "c" in phonetic spelling. From English intuition, I would pronounce "canne" with a hard c and short a, like the word "can", and "cenne" with a soft c, like "sen". But "ameri-sen" doesn't sound right, and I think "canne" is supposed to be "kahn". In fact, I'm willing to bet that a lot of these a's are in fact an "ah" sound, not the short a of "cat", which English speakers will assume by default.
"di" is ambiguous; I'd pronounce it "dee", but I'm almost certain that "dih" was meant.
"sese" would be pronounced like "cease" or maybe "seize", by analogy to other long-e words.
"jze" bears no resemblance to English orthography at all. The sound you're looking for is spelled "zh", not "jz".
Yes, trying to give unambiguous pronunciations to English speakers is difficult and ugly, but given that it seems to be most of the point of this article, you should at least try.

thread_title: New article

message: I believe that the vector potential should be 
:A_a = \left(\frac{Q}{r}, 0, 0, 0\right).
No subscript or superscript was written, and A was introduced as  A^a.  However, I don't get a sensible Faraday tensor unless I assume that expression is A_a.
I belive that it should be explictly mentioned that the Coulomb force constant has been assumed to be equal to 1 in the units section.  It was mentioned that G = c = 1, which is good, but because this is a charged black hole, the reader needs to know how to convert the electromagnetic units as well.
A link should probably be made to geometric units here.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_unit_system
I'm a bit concerned about the clarity of the geometric units pages for MKS charge units (but this is the wrong place to talk about that).
I'm going to leave this up for comments before I attempt to make any edits.

After elevation of realm to a kingdom, numbers on kings reset. And so called Roupen II was a simple minor who is not eve considered a ruler. Just a succesor who was deposed.
: I asked User:Eupator for a list of suggested transliterations, which he graciously provided, (see my talk page), but I've been postponing that project until I fill out the royal biographies covered by Kurkjian's History of Armenia and the texts Robert Bedrosian has put online. As regards the other issues, some sources renumber the rulers after the elevation, some don't. I tend to prefer a continuous series of numbering, which avoids the issue of what to call Rupen I, etc., other than "of Armenia," but I'd be interested in the opinions of other Wikipedians working on Armenian history. As for the unfortunate Rupen II, it's normal practice to include minor kings in the West, such as John I of France or Edward V of England in the succession and numbering, and I don't see why it should be different here.

Talk:Loop quantum gravity/Archive 1

message: 2003.12.23 19:20 EST
Please forgive me if I breach protocols here.  I just read the LQG article in SciAm and have some questions.
# Is there any research into a relationship between MOND (the discrepancy between observation and prediction of Newtonian dynamics at very low accelerations in galactic disc rotation) and LQG?
# Does LQG's strength essentially come from sidestepping the mathematical intractability issues of string theory by avoiding the assumption of continuity of spacetime?
# Are gravitons needed in LQG, or is the gravitational field represented by the structure of spacetime itself?
##    (From before I knew of LQG) Why are gravitons still expected/predicted if gravity is warped spacetime?  And why aren't the other, stronger forces considered to warp spacetime as well?  (Maybe they are warping the other dimentions of the 11 predicted by string theory?)
:There is a theorem in QFT that states that any operator following certain conditions(such as locality) may be expressed in terms of creation and anilation operators(thus the field may be thought of as the exchange of virtual particles)
:They do warp the other dimensions(see Kaluza-Klein theory).
# What does LQG say about Bose-Einstein condensates, the double-slit experiment, and other quantum "weirdness"?
:probably nothing; those are already explained by quantum mechanics

Talk:Eduard Tubin

message: I have found the First Symphony of Tubin to be very beautiful. I also very much was impressed with Tubin's "Idyllic Symphony" which I think is #4.  His other symphonies are good but these are his top ones to me. His fifth Symphony is very good also.  These works need repeated listenings to grasped the wealth and skill of development of this symphonist. The First and Fourth symphonies I would place in a tonal world somewhere between Sibelius and Shostokovich.  The First has great changing and shifting tectonic plates of harmony that I find masterful.  I wish some great conductor would champion more of the music of Eduard Tubin in the US. Jarvi's recordngs are very good.
:: (Response to anonymous...) I mostly agree (just listened to yet the third recording I've heard of the fifth symphony, over BBC3, not a commercial one I think?- except for 6/7/10 (maybe 5 actually?) I think the only recordings are the BIS cycle and a new one.  I'd agree that the tonal qualities change with sym 5 and especially 6- maybe somewhere in the orbit Sibelius/Shostakovich/Honegger if that makes any sense for the first four, tending more towards/adding a leanness- especially a leanness and, well, forwardness of motion- associated with neoclassicism (with that 12-tonish tune in the finale of my own favorite, sym 7, yes) afterwards?? And of course - 'as mentioned in program notes' and all that - clever mixing of slow and fast tempi in the central movement of that work, like the 1940 cello concerto of Paul Hindemith- in both works' central mvts the central scherzo episode coexists with the slow main movement before the latter fully takes over again.
:: Jarvi by the way has conducted some Tubin in the USA when he's been here, not to disagree there but just to add. Regards - Schissel 03:14, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: The program notes to Volmer's recording of Tubin's 4th Symphony claim that all of Tubin's works were banned in the USSR (including Estonia of course) until "the ice was broken" by a performance in Estonia of the 4th Symphony on Tubin's 80th birthday. That would be 1985.
I find this remarkable because so much of Tubin's music is far from "formalist." Was it simply because it was considered nationalistic? If somebody has more information on this, it would be good to see it in Tubin's entry, which doesn't seem to mention the banning now. Opus131 (talk) 22:50, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
