Talk:Lionel Friedberg

message: I created this page because I cited Lionel Friedberg in another article.  A search for him on the Web turns up numerous refs. to him as a cinematographer.  There's quite a bit of recent material on the Net because of the Nov 2007 release of his latest film,  A Sacred Duty:  Applying Jewish Values to Heal the Earth, which opened in Israel and New York in Nov 2007 and was reviewed in Haaretz  (Read article)  and the Jerusalem Post (Read article). 
Friedberg himself is Jewish -- I know this from meeting him personally and it is also stated numerous times on the Web -- here is one ref from the archives of the Jewish Vegetarians of North America newsletter, for whom he produced the above-mentioned film:  [http://jewishveg.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html:  
Here are my sources for this article: 
 for basic overview
 early press release for the Sacred Duty film project, has complete list of awards
[http://www.charlottelaws.org/DAW%20Bio%20-%20Lionel%20Friedberg.htm  partial filmography
 short bio, filmography, some awards
 more filmography refs
The filmography is incomplete -- although many other titles are in the awards list.  (I figured it would be redundant to list them all twice???)   So is the bio incomplete -- such as, I could not find the year he was born, any academic background, etc.  Nor could i fgind the title of his book on South Africa.  The whole article is just a beginning -- PLEASE add & edit.  It also needs the various category tags etc. which I do not know how to do. Rooster613 (talk) 13:31, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: RE: biographies of living persons, There is nothing controversial or libelous in this article, it is mostly a filmography.  I'm not sure how to insert these sources on the page itself, since I merged info from several filmography websites.  Is it sufficient to simply list the above sources at the bottom of the article?

thread_title:  unsourced statement 

message: An unregistered editor keeps adding climate data to the article, but I have removed it because it isn't clear where the data has been gathered. The unregistered editor has provided a source for the data - http://www.myweather2.com - but I am yet to be convinced that that source can be considered reliable, and anyway it also very clearly states that "The climate profile is taken from closest available data source to North Chideock", which is not the same as stating the data was gathered actually in Chideock. It is quite likely the data was gathered at a weather station such as on the Isle of Portland or at Yeovilton in Somerset, and because of this I consider it misleading to the reader to present the info in the article as if it applied specifically to Chideock.In addition, some of the text added by the unregistered editor was not supported by the source - for example, the claim that Chideock is one of the sunniest places in the UK. This statement may be correct, but it is not supported by the source. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

According to Alexa, however, the number of visitors is steadily declining. Second, Digg and Propeller are no bookmarking sites. Third, Propeller is not near Digg .

Talk:Lytchett Matravers

message: Someone has obviously put a lot of work into writing this and I found it a very helpful, informative, and interesting article. However, a few sentences read as though written by a resident from a resident's point of view (which presumably is what happened). It does, I think, need to be ever so slightly more objective in places.
For example:
"...the village primary school, which was enlarged and relocated in 1990, has an excellent reputation..." Can we quantify that at all? Otherwise it's just an opinion.
"there are still a significant number[quantify] of villagers who were born, brought up and educated here." Can we quantify that?
"...Events like this, along with the activities of the many clubs and societies, and the churches, do undoubtedly foster a tangible community spirit" Surely an opinion? Any way to ground it in fact?
"Lytchett Matravers has, unfortunately, a relatively high level of reported crime for a rural Dorset village and suffers from more than its share of anti-social behaviour problems." An opinion.
"the village has done well to retain its character and social cohesion through many periods of change and much expansion in recent years." An opinion.
"The specification to de-allocate green belt land around Lytchett Minster appears to have entered the the RSS for no other reason than that the owner of the land and the government stand to draw significant financial benefit from the proposal." An opinion with which, presumably, some would disagree.
Would the writer possibly be kind enough to look at them again, maybe try to quantify some of them (things like "a relatively high level of reported crime") and reword things like the final example ("...for no other reason than that the owner of the land and the government stand to draw significant financial benefit from the proposal"). Thank you very much. They are relatively minor issues in an otherwise nicely written piece. I'm not going to change the article because I don't know anything about the subject.   82.71.0.229 (talk) 09:09, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree completely with the above comments and although they were made over 16 months ago the article doesn't appear to have changed much during that time. Although some of these concerns have been addressed, the most recent version is still littered with POV, peacock terms and several instances of original research. I've attempted to remove most of this but the article is still severely lacking in references. Barret (talk) 16:06, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Cassian the Ascetic

message: I'm not sure about the page move.  I lodged the article at its lower case location because of the disambiguation page.  In fact, I have only seen him referred to as "Cassian."  That's the problem: he's not close to the most famous Cassian, and he doesn't have a descriptor appended to him anywhere that I've seen.  Therefore, the descriptor was a bit of "original research" for Wikipedia purposes.  Perhaps we could have had him at Cassian of Marseilles or Cassian of Romania or Cassian the Monk or....  Because none of these has any historical, documentary currency, I used the lower case to indicate that "ascetic" was a description and not part of his name.

Talk:Puddletown

message: Every time the reason for the change in name is mentioned in this article, it is cited obliquely as "because of the alternative meaning of the word 'piddle'" and "because piddle had a particular meaning in army circles" with a wink and a nod. It never mentions what that meaning is, however, so anyone without knowledge of early 20th century British slang can only guess at the context. 
I would never advocate for being overly crude, but from my American perspective, isn't it a fairly tame second meaning? Unless I am mistaken, it simply means urination, which will by no means scandalize the average reader by explaining. What does everyone else think, should we edit it to explain? Nquinn91 (talk) 13:45, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources tend to be a bit vague and/or euphemistic—and not totally emphatic when viewed all together—hence the wording in the article. The only source that explicitly states that piddle means urination is Roland Gant in Dorset Villages, who states: "since the 'small stream' meaning of piddle became a euphemism for 'piss', the Victorians referred to the river and those villages incorporating its name as Puddle", which sounds authoritative enough, but looking at all the sources, there is enough doubt on the reason for the name change (and its timing) that I tended to be less specific also.

Talk:Soda straw

message: Has anyone measured the internal diameter of Soda Straws to compare or to establish the diameter of a

thread_title:  Internal Diameter of the Soda Straw Cave Formation 

message: A series of calibrated spinning discs could be used to let Cave Soda Straws form in different Gravity Environments.  The slower the disc spins, the lower the simulated gravity environment, and the corresponding
greater the diameter of Soda Straw formation.  This could be used to determine the strength of the water tension
where it attaches to the bottom ring of the soda straw crystals.  This could be simulated for gravity greater than 1.0 G on the Earth's surface, but, for gravity less than 1.0 g, the simulation requires a stable zero G environment, and the spinning discs will provide reference in 0.10 g increments or less, perhaps 0.01 g increments. Alternatively, discs of different diameter could all spin at the same slow rate, on a single shaft
in a protected environment on the International Space Station.  Smaller discs will produce larger Soda Straws, and bigger discs will produce smaller diameter Soda Straws.  This will then become a reference if, and when
we discover Cave Soda Straws on other Planets, Dwarf Planets, or Moons.  Just measure the diameter, check the chart, and get the planets gravity to withing a fraction of our gravity.

message: The link http://www.radipole-dorset.co.uk/ is broken.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djamck (talk • contribs) 14:32, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

message: I confess I can't do the whole IPA pronunciation thing on WP, but I note a lot of little 'wrongs' with local (to me) pronunciations on here. So, 'Radipole' has the 'o' pronounced as in 'coal', not as in 'code'. Pole as in 'pole', if you will. We pronounce it that way because;
A) It's easier to get one's mouth around, and;
B) That's how it's pronounced.
I noted a similar problem with the IPA for 'Weymouth' on it's WP page and there the 'ou' is shown pronounced as the 'u' in 'buff', whereas it is, in actual real fact and practice, pronounced as the 'u' in 'bull'. (Having noted that in the Talk section, I was told very politely that my real-world knowledge and intimate lifetime experience of the correct pronunciation did not apply on Wikipedia and that I might want to get some verifiable sources to back up the truth and specifically disprove the in-print falsehood).
But I am trying anyway. This is my contribution, meant to help. 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:8CB5:EA0A:C060:444B (talk) 14:40, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
