message: I feel that this article isn't very critical; DJ BoBo is a inside joke to Europeans, and this article doesn't mention the stupidity and the kitsch he is commonly associated with. Also some of his "raps" are written in the worst English.
This is one of those artists that has always been in it for the money and doesn't necessarily care about musical integrity. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but this article doesn't reflect that at all. Just my 2 cents...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.102.208.34 (talk) 13:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:List of blackface minstrel songs

BrianSmithson 15:05, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Old Dan Tucker

message: Does anyone have an idea how titles in faux black dialect should be alphabetized? One example from the current list is "De Boatman's Dance". Another I haven't yet added is "De Colored Fancy Ball". Should "De" be treated like "The" and ignored, or should it serve as the first significant letter of the title, placing it in the D section? Similarly, should these dialect versions of "the", "that", etc. be capitalized when they appear within the body of the song title (i.e., "Old Cuff in de Mornin'" or "Old Cuff in De Mornin'")? My sources are inconsistent on these points, and it appears the period songsters and programs were as well. BrianSmithson 11:51, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm skeptical of the Canebrake Minstrels album/liner notes/website as a reliable source. It's a good album, and well done, but as far as I can tell, it's self-published. I'm not questioning the truth of anything they say, I just think we need a better source for those items. Jochen Scheytt also does not appear to be a reliable source; it's self-publication of a school paper (based on his bio, probably graduate studies in jazz and popular music) for an area in which the author is "not really an expert" by his own words.

Dude. Thats deep.
:No, a model of ZFC is a set of sets, and that set is the domain of discourse. There is such a thing as a "class model" that is also used in set theory.  But ZFC, like any other consistent first order theory, has ordinary models. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Crystal Ball function

message: The proper name of the entry is  "Crystal Ball (function)", since it is named after the Crystal Ball Collaboration, with Ball capitalized.
There appear to be some inaccuracies in this page.
1) in the plot shown to the right, the parameter "n" is not specified. Since I reproduced the function on my own, I think both "N" and "n" are equal to 1, but can not be positive.
2) the author did not specify how to reproduce the long tail to the right of the peak. I assume alpha can be both positive and negative, although when writing my own program I ended up switching the sign of (x-xave)/sigma by hand.
3) More generally, the author did not specify the limits for the free parameters of the function. For example, alpha should be both negative and positive but not zero. "n", I assume, is positive, as are N and sigma. xave should be unbound.
4) N is not a "true" normalization parameter, and it does not correspond to the true number of events in a histogram for example.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbli (talk • contribs) 15:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  At two o'clock... 

message: This article has serious short comings. It places the battle to the north of Delapre Abbey, with the Lancastrians having their backs to the river. This is not the case, and is an error derived from a Victorian author, Richard Brooke, in his book "Visits to the Fields of Battle in England of the Fifteenth Cewntury". The battle was fought in the grounds of the Abbey, between it and the Eleanor Cross. See the Battlefield trust website and the Historic England assessment. It also does not reference theb main work on the subject, Mike Ingram's Battle of Northampton 1460.

thread_title:  Serious error in entry 

message: I wonder if the middle of the statement "The Percys were, and still are to this day, the Earls of Northumberland" is really needed. I am not sure it is relevant to know that the Percy family currently holds the Earldom (which has be supplanted in importance by the Dukedom of Northumberland, which the Earl also holds, in any case). The statement also suggest a continuous hold by the Percy family, but from 1461-1470 it was held by the Percys rival John Neville and was also not held by the family from 1537 until 1557. After that the male line of the Percys died out in 1670. From 1683-1716 the Earl of Northumberland was George FitzRoy later 1st Duke of Northumberland an illegitimate son of Charles II who had no connection to the Percys. He had no hier and the earldom again died out when he died. The current Percys are actually decedents of the next Earl Algernon Seymour, 7th Duke of Somerset who had Percy ancestry, but was not a male line descendent. His son-in-law Hugh Smithson inherited the tittle by special remainder at which point he renamed himself Percy.  Thus I think "Percys were the Earls of Northumberland" would be better.

Talk:Battle of Blore Heath

message: This section does not really do the job as it barely explains the context in which the battle took place. St Albans was, in reality a skirmish that had major consequences as it allowed the Yorkists to seize control of King's power. Three major Lancastrians including Somerset were killed and their sons were out for revenge. King Henry was, by this time suffering from a mental illness that left him virtually mute for two years. After St Albans, the Duke of York was nominally and indeed officially Protector but he did not have the support of the Lancastrian heirachy. As stated the Queen margaret became an increasingly influential figure on behalf of the King. Attempts at reconcilliation were made but failed. The Battle of Blore Heath was the a significant event in the dynastic struggles of the period but not I think a major battle because there were further attempts at reconciliation. In 1461 at the Battle of Towton the Lancastrian cause was destroyed. I think the background section needs expanding. I'm happy to attempt it. Dorkinglad (talk) 12:45, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Background section to Battle of Blore Heath

message: The problem with the historic term 'War of The Roses' is that it is a nineteenth century construct. It could be argues there was no such thing since even the emblem of the Yorkists , the White Rose, appeared after the period as part of Henry  VII's propaganda campaign to strengthen his rather weak claim to the throne. The painting used is from the mid Victorian period. The rather splendid legend is therefore a bit of a deceit. It looks good but should it be there? Dorkinglad (talk) 12:45, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
