Talk:Felice Anerio

message: I'm taking this part out which was added today.  It was from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, which is a lovely and useful reference, but disastrously out of date for serious musicology.
:Several masses and motets of his are printed in Proske's Musica Divina and other modern anthologies, and it is hardly too much to say that they are for the most part worthy of Palestrina himself. 
:The two Anerio brothers are probably the latest composers who handled 16th-century music as their mother-language; suffering neither from the temptation  to indulge even in such mild neologisms as they might have learnt from the elder brother's master, Nanino, nor from the necessity of preserving their purity of style by a mortified negative asceticism. They wrote pure polyphony because they understood it and loved it, and hence their work lives, as neither the progressive work of their own day nor the reactionary work of their imitators could live. The 12-part Stabat Mater in the seventh volume of Palestrina's complete works has been by some authorities ascribed to Felice Anerio.
Here's what's wrong.  For one thing, Proske's Musica Divina is 1854, hardly a "modern anthology," though he was a good editor and a good library ought to have this still.  The music is indeed worthy of Palestrina, and sounds a lot like him, which is already in the article.  The part about the "latest composers who handled 16th-century music as their mother-language" is just plain wrong; the "prima prattica" was the mother-language for hundreds of composers throughout the early 17th century.  Consider Allegri as an example, if we stay in Rome, or dozens of Spaniards, who wrote in the style while much of Europe was reveling in the polychoral glories of the Venetian school and the monodic productions which began in Florence.  And the comment about their work living as the progressive work of their own day could not--WHAT??? In 1911, someone could believe this maybe, but we know better now--what about Monteverdi?  Gesualdo?  Gabrieli?  I'm sorry, to the unsigned author of the 1911 Anerio article, but it just ain't so.  You're not getting a space on Wikipedia.  Oh, and that 12-part Stabat Mater is no longer controversial--it's by Palestrina.  Read about it in Grove (1980).  Antandrus 02:55, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

There seems to be some vandalism here: 
The town was recently purchased by Marc Kolin in 2006 for the high price of $24 and 2 vials of gypsy tears. The Battle of Kolín was fought in the train from Prague to Kolin by Shelley and Irving Kolin on June 18, 1997. This battle occurred during what later became known as the Seven Years' War, and is reported to be one of the fiercest battles of this war. Though the battle continues, Shelley and Irving are still married.

message: I've done a little bit, such as dividing the history into major sections, on what appears to be quite a big job, considering the size of the article.  I have a feeling that a good percentage of the information, while theoretically valuable as history, is actually only indirectly related to the history of the manor itself, and therefore could be removed without injury.  Fortunately, there are other places (such as the internet site mentioned above) where the full article could be found, and therefore it seems reasonable to cut this article down, to also thereby make it more like an encyclopedia article.  Have at it, ladies and gents, and I will, too!  --Cromwellt | Talk 22:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sailing

message: I thought this was a done deal back in this 2022 RFC but obviously not. A handful of editors did another rfc with no sports projects input at all. And it's being challenged because we just noticed it. This could affect almost every single tennis and Olympic article we have, and goodness know how many other sports. Some may have already been moved it you weren't watching the article. And not just the article titles will be affected but all the player bios that link to the articles. Sure the links would be piped to the right place if thousands of articles moved, but if the wording in a bio still said 2023 Wimbledon Championships – Men's singles or Swimming at the 2020 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metre backstroke that would likely need to be changed by hand. There is also talk of removing the ndash completely.
Perhaps this is what sports projects want and perhaps not. Either way I certainly don't want projects ill-informed as the last RfC was handled. Express your thoughts at  the following rfc. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

message: I suggest removing the random details from the "class" section of the article. By this, I mean the reference to Bill Gates, Computer ownership, and home ownership.

Talk:Meronymy and holonymy

thread_title:  Question from November 2004 

message: Another wikipedia term "mereology" -- the theory of parthood relations -- pertains to the sense of "part-of".  Mereology appears to have arisen from mathematical logic community, while this entry (meronomy) appears to have come from the linquistic community, so such an inconsistency is not surprising.  Mereology defines part-of relations more precisely than meronymy, but the latter seems more intuitive (but at the risk of inconsistency).
Since I am a Wikipedia newbie, I do not feel confident editing this page.  I suggest that the author of this page get with the author of the mereology page to: 1) link with the entry for mereology and visa versa, and 2) resolve inconsistencies between pages.  -- Vonkje —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vonkje (talk • contribs) 23:28, 29 April 2005 (UTC)

message: 1) I changed the example 'Winchester Cathedral' is a meronym for 'Church of England' with some other examples.

2) A meronym usually means part of a whole.  A word denoting a subset of what another word denotes is a hyponym.
