Talk:The Entombment of Christ (Caravaggio)

message: It seems to read like a school paper and I wonder if there is a copyright violation here as well. --Rajah 03:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Original Research 

message: It may indeed read like a paper but there's no easy way of knowing. I did, however, delete this paragraph, which has no place in the article, however well-intentioned:
(start)
I urge you to read "Caravaggio's 'Entombment of Christ' Reconsidered," by a new Caravaggio scholar, Mark R. Dobbins. Mr. Dobbins is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Delaware. This work was an undergraduate thesis, but don't let that deter you. It has been presented at a scholarly conference, and was well-received. The bibliography alone is worth it Copies are available by contacting Mr. Dobbins at mrd4331@yahoo.com, or writing his thesis advisor, Dr. David Levine at Southern Connecticut State University, New Haven, CT, USA.
[I am a collegue of Mark's and simply sharing a well-researched but hard-to-find artcile.]

thread_title:  "Eloping"? 

message: "...it is not clear that the highly naturalistic reconstruction of a gospel event in this painting would have been antithetical..."
It seems to me that the lay reader would need more background here about how Caravaggio's paintings were not always pleasing to his patrons.
Anyone want to give this a go?
While we are here, what does "vividly faithfuk" mean?

Talk:Hot Brown

message: Currently there is this phrase "More common alternatives to the Hot Brown include using Cheddar cheese or American cheese for the sauce."
However a Mornay sauce is described as a Bechamel with cheese, said cheese can be cheddar. Thus using cheddar cheese wouldn't be a variation. Either this part can be removed as superfluous (leaving just the "American 'cheese'" as a variation) or the preceding section needs to be modified to specify the type of cheese used in the sauce.

Talk:Windburn

message: I, myself, have become windburnt in the dead of night without ANY sunlight. I'm certain that it is possible to get sunburnt far quicker than expected in winter, especially factoring in the reflection of the sun's rays off of snow. However, whoever said that it was solely caused by UV rays has obviously never lived in Wisconsin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.253.193.119 (talk) 06:36, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. "Windburn" may be a misnomer, but sunburn certainly isn't the reason my face hurts after running on a cold windy day after dark. 208.38.229.254 (talk) 01:35, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

message: I haven't been able to find any suggestion in reputable medical sources (despite anecdotal insistence by many) that wind-burn exists at all.  Removal of oils from the skin causes dry skin.  Soap does that.  By this logic, we would have soap-burn.  I think the idea of wind-burn is a myth caused by those who fail to understand that some of the suns rays reflect from water surface increasing exposure.  Another possible reason for confusion is that, especially when in snowy areas, reflective exposure is increased.  Thus it is possible, especially at high altitudes to be sunburned in the shade.

Talk:John Stanier (drummer)

message: I have never seen any confirmation of whether John actually was born on August 2, 1968 in Baltimore. Could whoever put that info in the article cite their source(s)? Also, I have an asterisk for his attendance at the University of South Florida: I have seen a couple different schools listed, erroneously, I believe. In this Rox Magazine article  with Peter Mengede, it says that Stanier attended the University of Miami. Then in this Modern Drummer article  with Stanier himself, he says he went to the University of Florida (which is in Gainesville). But then he says it's the home of the Suncoast Sound drum corps, which is from Clearwater. Therefore, it seems likely that he actually went to the University of South Florida, which is also in the Tampa Bay area. If you know any differently, please let me know.
There are some big holes that I have no knowledge to fill in, like how he got from Baltimore to Florida, and then from Florida to New York. Did he graduate from college? There's also a general lack of dates; it would be nice to have more temporal info. Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

I dont think Houseboating and Houseboats should be combined because they are distincty different entities:  Houseboats are similar in nature to RVs, but on the water.  RVs are used for camping.

Talk:TBS Holdings

message: It is a bit of a stretch to say that TBS "took part in" the Sakamoto murders.  This sounds like TBS was an accomplice in the murders.  In reality, TBS violated journalistic ethics by showing the Sakamoto interview to Aum members.  Aum proceeded to murder the Sakamotos a few days later.  But TBS did not show the video to Aum with the purpose of killing the Sakamotos.  It was to curry favor with Aum.  TBS committed no crime.  TBS made an unwise decision for which it should be scorned.  But TBS did not knowingly or willingly participate in murder.  --Westwind273 (talk) 05:21, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Translation

message: There are some things I don't understand here. Why does it say "Most Southwestern Mandarin dialects have, like Standard Mandarin, only retained four of the original eight tones of Middle Chinese." Who says Middle Chinese originally had eight tones? The Middle Chinese article says four, nor do I see eight tones in the Chinese version of this article.  There was a split, but it came later and was not an original feature of Middle Chinese. Also, 'light level' is odd; if 陽 is light, what is 陰? High and low or upper and lower are more common.

Talk:The Year of Magical Thinking

message: I'm not very confident at writing an NPOV description of a book that had an emotional impact on me, and would appreciate any assistance at describing the unique qualities of this book from a neutral, descriptive standpoint. I found Didion's book to be very unique in the manner I tried to express in this article, but fear that I've sounded critical, instead of appreciative of her approach.
Ronald W Wise 04:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Initial comments 

message: The book is tough to pin down, but I did not agree that the book began with a simple re-telling of the experience. In fact it begins with Didion's computer notes following the event. I heard her speak at Central Park a few months ago, and remember she said that the structure of the book was meant to mimick the way in which she relived the experience day after day. I wasn't sure how to cite this, but thought the narrative structure of the book, which is really behind much of its critical acclaim, should be mentioned.
: Unfortunately, I've been told youcan't cite things you have heard an author say, even at public appearances. It makes sense - Wikipedia is meant to refer to externally verifiable sources, and unless your observations of the author have been published in another journal, they are not an externally verifiable source.

message: The "Factors Affecting Groundwater" recharge seems to rely heavily on future predictions and trends; given the controversy over climate change, I feel trying to find present-day trends to serve as evidence for the factors would be beneficial.

Also, using a more neutral tone with the avoidance of phrases such as "severe consequences" is another suggestion I have to strengthen this section. Lastly, the "Therefore" statements at the end of the paragraphs give the impression of some synthesizing on your behalf; I am sure this is what the research states so try to ensure it comes off as information from the literature. -- OntyHam (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
