Talk:Merry Christmas (The Supremes album)

message: Rest assured, the only Supreme who sings on "Merry Christmas" is Diana Ross.  Neither Mary Wilson nor Florence Ballard sing on any of the selection on the original released Album.  All background singing is courteously sung by The Andantes.
Hence, "Merry Christmas" is the first solo album by Diana Ross.
You absolutely, positively correct as Mary Wilson denotes such within the Liner Notes included with Mery Christmas Expanded Edition.  If fact, when it was given to me in December of 1965, I said to my late sister, Susan, "the background is not The Supremes as it was obvious that only sopranos were heard.  Mary Wilson's husy voice was entirely absent.  Ross was, already, doing solos, beginning in September of 1965, while Wilson and Ballard were allowed by Gordy to enjoy some vacation to be with family; hence, Ross did it herself with The Andantes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.209.54 (talk) 20:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Finland-Sweden Athletics International

message: The 1940 competition was held as a triple event between Finland, Sweden and Germany. I could not find many references to it on-line, but here are a few:
* MAAOTTELUN HISTORIA (in Finnish) 7.-8.9.1940, Helsinki
**Erikoista - Kolmimaaottelu Suomi-Ruotsi-Saksa, Rudolf Harbig Suomessa (voitot 400 m ja 800 m)
**Translation: Notable - Triple international Finland-Sweden-Germany, Rudolf Harbig in Finland (victories in 400 and 800 meters)
* Leichtathletik-Objekte
** Bronze-Anstecker: Helsinki 7-8 IX 40. Teilnehmer-Abzeichen zum Leichtathleitik-Dreiländerkämpf Deutschland-Finnland-Schweden. 1940, 2,2 cm, 45 Gramm, Zustand: 3- ... Preis: 80,- Euro
I cannot find an explicit reference to only two athletes per event, but the Finnish language text says "Gunder Hägg and Henry Kälarne won a double victory over a hard-to-beat Finnish duo at the 5000 meter event". Also I remember this from other sources. Besides, the stadium in Helsinki only has 8 tracks.

Talk:Swallow tattoo

message: You're thinking about the "swallow" tattoo, not the sparrow.  The sparrow is more of a religious symbol. -L.t.O
A swallow is not the same as a bluebird. It's swallows that return to San Juan Capistrano every year, and swallows that fly skillfully over water.  I'm no tatoo expert, just a biologist, but I think the reference to bluebirds ought to be removed.  Some swallows are blue-backed and have a rosy breast so resemble bluebirds, but they're quite different creatures. Nemetona 02:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Slouching Towards Bedlam

message: I think that the notice of Foster's death is rather unseemly here. It should be added to the hypothetical Foster's article. -- Pichote 10:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've re-added it. (Also reworded it.)  Were Foster noteworthy enough to have her own page, indeed, that would be the appropriate spot.  However at the moment her notability appears tied to this work.  As such a sort of micro-biography of the otherwise non-notable authors seems appropriate on the page.  It's relevant from the perspective of questions like, "Did the two go on to produce other games?"  — Alan De Smet | Talk 02:52, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mixed feelings: on the one hand I know of Foster's achievements in the interactive fiction scene and that she probably deserves an article; on the other hand I still think that an isolated obituary is somewhat out of place...

Talk:Baluba religion

message: A search of the internet shows that Wolf Leslau was an expert on Semitic languages and cultures, notably Ethiopian. He codified the Amharic language of Ethiopia, creating its first written dictionary. Charlotte Leslau was his wife. She also published books on African proverbs and African love poems. If somebody knows more, please write articles about them. Nannus 21:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Wolf Leslau

message: Carl Einstein was an author belonging to the movement called Expressionism. He is the editor of the book, but the stories are all in a poetic, very expressive style, showing that he translated or retold the stories in his own, expressionistic language. It makes a reading reminiscent of the Bible, in a strong, mythical language. On the other hand, the content of the storries is unmistakably African, obviously he did not make it up. Unfortunately, he did not give his sources. At the time the book was published, he spent most of his time in France, so the sources might have been french (or Belgian?). On the other hand, he might also have taken these stories from Sources available to him in German ethnological collections (he also published a book about African sculpture, so he might have had contact to ethnologists working on Africa). It is importang to identify the sources from which he took the stories in this very beautiful book. (I hope these sources survived World War II and can be identified). The book contains stories from Togo (Ewe ?), from the Mkwule, from Dahome (Benin), Fang, Ababua, Boloki, Upota, Bena-Kanioka, Bakuba, Baluba, Bahololo, Uruwa, Haholoholo, Warundi (Urunda) and Ba Ronga (names taken from the contents).

message: How can this article be considered of low importance? This is one of the greatest albums ever made in the history of popular music and easily one of the best albums of the new millennium, a seminal and influential work in the genres of shoegaze, dream pop, glitch pop and experimental music as a whole.

Talk:Verve EP

message: This article does not present The Verve EP in its proper context.  It makes it seem like it was one recording project, and that there were singles released from it.  Quite to the contrary, it was a collection of singles recorded at various times in the 18 months previous to its release.  The original idea was to put this together for the US market, where the singles had not been issued.  It was released in limited quantities in the UK, mostly as a cash grab for the die-hard fans who had already bought the three singles before.
Yeah, three singles.  The article only mentions two.  "A Man Called Sun" was taken from the "All in the Mind" single.  I am going to rework this article sometime soon when I get some sources to cite.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leamanc (talk • contribs) 13:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Of course I own various versions. Don't really know why... ;-) Version CVLCD101 has only five songs, the first five. 45 minutes only. But on the back of it all titles are written, so when I bought it I thought it might be the whole album on one CD. When I found out the truth I had the double CD version imported from Japan. But I seem to remember there was another single CD version, around 75 minutes, and it looks like the back of the remastered 2005 CD version confirms this. There it says: "Tracks 2 and 5 previously unreleased on CD outside of Japan". So the other single CD version had tracks 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. But I don't own this 75 minute single CD version, so can't confirm it with certainty. By then my double CD had arrived from Japan. :-D This was all 1989, if I remember correctly. Besides, that year is on both CVLCD101 and the Japanese double CD VJD-25023~24.

message: I've read that when AC\DC first went to Florida to rehearse for "Highway to Hell" with Eddie Kramer, Phil Rudd was having trouble with visas and could not show up and Bon Scott, who played drums in a pipe band in Australia some time before, played the drums.  When everyone in the band simply did not get along with Eddie Kramer, they went into Criteria Studio in Miami and recorded demos like "Back Seat Confidential" without any producers and soon sent the tapes to Robert John "Mutt" Lange.  I believe Phil Rudd still could not get to the US, and Bon Scott played the drums in "Back Seat Confidential".

Talk:Watertown (album)

message: Hi, I'm intrigued by the claim in the article that "Watertown" is Sinatra's "most ambitious concept album". I'm not into getting too precious with citation requests, so I won't be doing that, and in any case I think it would be far more interesting to start a discussion on it here, if there are any sincere takers.
The question to me is: "ambitious in what context"? If we mean in terms of Sinatra's attempts to embrace then-contemporary pop culture, then yes, there is certainly a good case to be made for stating that "Watertown" was his most ambitious attempt, perhaps even an overwhelming one.
But how about "ambitious" in terms of sheer artistic merit? Perhaps "Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely" takes the gold medal there, or maybe "September Of My Years" garners a few people's votes on that score. (I'll go for "Only The Lonely").
Or then there's ambitious in terms of grandness of orchestral scale. "The Concert Sinatra" might win that one.
Or, just in terms of scale, full stop, the three-disc "Trilogy" must surely stake a claim, if not in many other contexts (the "Past" volume apart).
One man's ambition is another's folly, I suppose, but I do think the article's claim needs to be made more specific on the above terms.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helmut Cabbage (talk • contribs) 21:32, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
