Talk:Burns Verkaufen der Kraftwerk

message: According to the audio commentary, the title was an actual mistake by the producers, believing the titles would never be known. 141.6.203.14 13:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episode title 

message: The quote is "He is from the East and I am from the West. He owned a big company and I owned a big company, now we own a very big company." The implication is that Fritz is from East Germany and Hans is from West Germany, and that their big companies merged upon reunification. Thus, my edit stand.
:While (private) ownership of large companies by "native" East Germans may have been unlikely in the early 1990s, it was by no means impossible. E.g., several large corporations (Kombinate) were bought out by their (East German) managers. While (most of) the funding for these buy-outs ultimately might have come from the West, East Germans were technically and legally owners of large East German companies. Also, please sign any comments. --ThorstenNY 20:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The big company in East Germany

message: The capitalisation of V in "Verkaufen" is not incorrect German, because titles always have each word capitalised, except small words such as "the". If it were written not in a title, it would be "verkaufen".
Pn57 (talk) 06:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hell, no! First, "der" is not feminine but masculine. Second, the word "Kraftwerk" needs the neuter article, i.e. "das Kraftwerk". Third, the verb "verkaufen" is not be capitalized because it is a verb. "Verkauf" is, indeed, a noun. Fourthly, If you'd like to put it like "Burns' Selling of the Powerplant" you have to write: "Burns Verkauf des Kraftwerks" (neuter, genitive) but you shouldn't because it sounds very artificial. Fifthly, since "Burns verkauft das Kraftwerk" sounds also a bit artificial, I'd recommend to use "Burns verkauft sein Kraftwerk" ("Burns sells his power plant"). It is more coll. and would fit more to the Simpsons. By the way: The German title puts it like an ad: "Kraftwerk zu verkaufen", in English: power plant for sale. -- German Dude 77.5.142.73 (talk) 10:44, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Wozzeck

message: The Berg compositions list says the opera was begun in 1917 but this article says it was begun in 1914.  Badagnani 11:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of composition

message: User:Nrswanson has requested on my talk page that I state my concerns about references here. I am not so much concerned that false information is being propagated, as that some vague and potentially misleading statements are difficult to verify. These also could use rewriting for clarity. A specific case is the reference to a letter by Webern (is there a collected edition of his correspondence—I am not aware of one, but I am not a Webern specialist—or is this being cited at second-hand?), followed immediately by a statement about Wozzeck being the predominant reason for Berg's fame. This was certainly true at the time of Berg's death, and may even be the case today, though the Violin Concerto comes to mind as a close contender. If it is meant as a continuation of the reference to Webern's letter, this should be made clear; if not, then the opinion needs attribution. Concerning Gurlitt's opera, the word "supposedly" is stylistically problematic for an encyclopedia article, in that a supposition must be made by somebody, and is therefore POV, OR, or both, unless a source is cited. (All of this is annotated in hidden text, BTW.) I see that I failed to insert the request I claimed to have done, for verification of the success of John Rea's arrangement, but I will do so forthwith.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: References needed

message: The sentence "Though Berg's musical style is not as violent as some other composers might have written for this story, the style suits the subject matter" in the opening section doesn't make much sense to me. Not only does it seem to be original research, but it seems pretty irrelevant - we could make the same claim for any opera with a gory plot written by someone who wasn't the most violent composer of their time. Finally, it's misleading in the first paragraph, implying that Berg's style is notably gentle (which it isn't) or that one of the most important things to know about the work is its relative non-violence. Couldn't this sentence just be cut?
On the other hand, it's been there since March 2006 and I'm new to editing, so maybe there's a good justification for its inclusion?

Category talk:Irish emigrants

message: This category is deeply flawed.  Most of the people listed under "Irish Canadian" were NOT Irish emmigrants, but were born in diaspora.  The nomeclature is misleading, and unless some one gives me a reasonable objection I will correct it shortly.  Kevlar67 12:09, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: and Irish Americans too.  but how aren t diaspora a kind of emigrants? - separated diaspora must have a sub-category link to emigrants at large. and i see separating diaspora and non-diaspora as over-categorisation.   Mayumashu 05:06, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually I think a better solution is to limit this category strictly to people born in Ireland who moved to other coutries, and simply link to the "Irish-Canadian" and "Irish-American" categories, but do not include them as sub-categories of this category.  Clearly the two groups are related, but most of the families of Irish heritage in Newfoundland, for example, have been their since the 1700s.  They are not "emigrants" or "expats" in any sense of the term. Kevlar67 13:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: you re right. naming a cat page :Category:Irish emigrants to Canada and making it a sub-cat of this page as well as :Category:Irish Canadians would work.  another way which would avoid spliting emigrants with other non-emigrants of descent would be to rename this cat page :Category:People of Irish descent abroad Mayumashu 22:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm wrapping up a series of major edits to this article that are the fruit of a few months of in-depth biographical research into Mosolov. I'm not happy with the musical style section and I think the musical works section could be greatly expanded, but I'm overall content with the state of the article now. I feel as though the issues listed above have been properly addressed and that the article has gone from a rather poorly cited article to one that is fleshed out, cited properly using reputable sources, and even containing two images. I will continue to work on this as I'm able to, because I need to finish a list of his works and expand and rewrite the musical style section, but until then I am happy with this page.

replies: text:  FunkyFly, I don't think this is a good idea. All slavic languages were dialects of the Slavic dialectal continuum before they became standard national languages. Bulgarian was standardized as late as 1880. If we follow your logic, we should have two sections for all Slavic languages. But the translation of the Bible in most cases was the single biggest contributor to the differentiation between the languages, and the biggest factor in the standardization of the languages. So I think we better stay with the format that was already established. --Filip M 03:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Funky, can u, please, stop this childish behaviour? Prior to 1880 Bulgarian was a dialect too (a set of dialects, to be more precize). It was the same with the Macedonian, and all other languages. Slovenian language was codified in 1922. Does it mean that it didn't exist before? No. All the earlier translations were listed under Slovenian. Do not change my contribution to this article without a valid reason. --Filip M 04:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Under the section "Fall of Commodus", it states that Commodus' sanity began to unravel after the assassination of his close advocate, Cleander. However, on both Commodus' page describing the events and on Cleander's page talking about his own death it's very blatant that Cleander is not assassinated but instead put to death by Commodus himself.

*(6) appears to be an inductor, or ferrite bead (not a resistor).
*(5) and (9) are more likely to be locating pins, rather than performing any major mechanical function after assembly, as they need to have a clearance, and this will allow movement. (SMT solder joints are usually stronger than the adhesive holding the copper foil to the board substrate, but repeated movement can cause them to crack.)
*The decal layer is printed, or silkscreened (although the term "painted" is not incorrect).
*The positioning of component designators is determined manually by the PCB designer.
*The red plastic coating is "solder mask", its function is to prevent solder flowing away from component pads down connecting tracks, or shorting between pads. Insulation is a secondary function.
