Talk:Enid (song)

message: The origins of this song have been kind of lost over time, as the band stopped speaking of it long before the internet ever came about. BUT what they claim, that it was inspired by a waitress, is true...it's a story that's been passed within many connected to the Canadian music scene back in that era. Enid was actually a teacher of mine :)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jon the dodgeboy (talk • contribs) 03:15, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Carl Schlechter

message: There appears to be considerable debate as to whether Schlechter was Jewish.  Check out the discussion on the chessgames.com site referenced in the article.  As far as I can tell, the more reliable references cited there (Alekhine's rant can hardly be considered "reliable") seem to indicate that he was not.  Accordingly I am removing the two Jewish categories from the article.  If anyone can find a really definitive reference one way or the other, please cite it and restore the categories if appropriate.  The default, based on that very limited info on the chessgames site, should probably be to omit them, however. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 03:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We need to ask why there is a category :Category:Jewish chess players at all. The answer is that we normally don't care what religion or race a chess player is, except that Jews are massively overrepresented among top chess players, and this is notable (Gerald Abrahams has a chapter in a book entitled "Why are Jews good at chess?"). Accordingly, I don't think it is necessary to examine every single chess player to determine with 100% certainty whether s/he is Jewish. The point that many Jews are good at chess can be established without the dubious/disputed cases such as Schlechter. So I say, if in doubt, leave it out. I agree with the deletion. Rocksong 03:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently Schlechter was a German-Austrian Catholic, but in any case, not Jewish.  See Chess and Jews, by Edward G. Winter.  Winter is obsessive about getting these sorts of details right, so barring strong evidence to the contrary (apparently the Jewish Encyclopedia incorrectly lists Schlechter as Jewish), I think this is settled.  One of Winter's sources was Warren Goldman (1994) Carl Schlechter! Life and Times of the Austrian Chess Wizard (), but I don't have this book.  Quale 01:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: People from the Caribean region know that Caribbean Spanish hails from the various countries mentioned, and also from Cuba. It is certainly obvious that Cuban spanish has had a major impact in south Florida, in which at least one million native speakers and their pregeny see Cuban spanish as their heritage.
Furthermore, there can be little, if any doubt, that Cuban Spanish is very much a Caribbean language.

Talk:Xerox Network Systems

message: Searching reliable sources on the Internet for XNS acronym it's described as: Xerox Network Systems by relevant sources like Cisco's documentation, iana.org or protocols.com; 
More over, wiki doesn't have a definition for Xerox Network Systems and many "ask & answer/dictionary" Internet sites providing a definition on this acronym only reference as source this Wikipedia article(even Google search!).
So, it's simply the notoriety of Wikipedia that makes XNS referenced mostly as Xerox Network Services than correctness as it should be.
IMHO this article should be renamed to Xerox Network Systems rather than it's actual name.
If there are also references to Xerox Network Services a redirection to this renamed article may be appropriate.

replies: text: The documents from Xerox (referenced under "External links") seem to be the definitive sources on this technology, and those documents say Systems.

message: This whole entry displays an ignorance in both microbiology and fermentation.
The article could be improved. Yeast require an initial pH of 5-5.5 for strong fermentation. This pH is provided by the malted grain. (Since it is not beer brewing, then the addition of un-malted grain needs to be explained.) The acidity provided by lactobacillus is another type of acid, essential in the finished flavor. This is also very important in red wine making.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.244.87.201 (talk) 21:40, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

message: It doesn't seem right to me to state "material from an older batch of mash to start fermentation in the batch currently being made".

thread_title:  Sour mash "starts" fermentation? 

message: This article is almost completely incorrect in its description of sour mashing for distilling. It needs a full re-write. And to start with, sour mashing for distilling has nothing to do with sour mashing for brewing, so perhaps there should be separate sections, if not pages, for the two. Yes, growth of lactobacillus can sour a beer, and that can also be called "sour mashing", and used in both brewing and distilling. But that is not what "Sour Mash" on a whiskey label means.

Category talk:Anti-Christian sentiment

message: There was quite obviously "no consensus" when it came to the impending deletion of "Anti-Christianity and related" cats. , as there are 11 votes to keep, 10 to delete. So, could you please rescind the deletion and allow at least another week or so in order to allow more discussion of this rash deletion?  Categories that are this large, complex, and all-encompassing obviously need more time to be discussed and 'voted' on, as users that are interested them may not even know that they are up for deletion/discussion yet! I feel that the deletion of the anti-Judaism, anti-Christianity, anti-Mormonism, anti-Islam, anti-Hinduisms, and anti-Buddhism categories are happening FAR too fast, and like I said many of the people that work on these categories or would work on them aren't even aware that they are up for deletion, and thus cannot contribute to the voting or discussion (I myself missed the deletion of the anti-Islam and anti-Mormon categories, which I would have voted to keep if I had only known of their impending deletion).  Categories that are controversial and of this broad importance (religious intolerance/bigotry is an important subject of academic and popular study) obviously need to have extended periods of discussion and 'voting' before these deletions take place so rashly after only a few days (for instance, the people voting for the deletion of these categories haven't even been involved with them before they voted to delete them all!). Also, since :Category:Antisemitism will obviously never be deleted, I'm not sure why all of these other "anti-[religion] categories" are being put up for deletion so quickly; this is pure hypocrisy. The data loss is going to be enormous if you people go through with these deletions (data loss has already has been quite bad with anti-Islam and anti-Mormon, and now anti-Christianity as well), and frankly it would be idiotic to lose these umbrella categories that group all of these closely related religiosocial topics together, which facilitates easier interdisciplinary research...for instance, anti-Hinduism has over 30 articles; anti-Judaism, nearly 25; anti-Catholicism, nearly 40; anti-Buddhism, 11...plus the other religions. Again, please allow more discussion and voting to occur before deleting ALL of these important categories and sub-categories, if only to prevent such massive data loss! --Wassermann 04:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
