message: We've had the same anonymous IP (starting with 201.) inserting New Wave genre for Modern Talking's 1998 version of "You're My Heart, You're My Soul 1998". Please note that New Wave genre has no longer been used by any dance act in Germany after early 1990s. Consequently, Modern Talking came back in 1998 basing most of their tracks on then-German-music-market's demand, which was at the time Eurodance, including "You're My Heart, You're My Soul 1998". Some of Modern Talking tracks after their reunion can be viewed as Trance also, including tracks like "Anything is Possible" (from Back for Good), or "Time is on My Side" (From Year of the Dragon), so Trance genre could be included in the infobox. But not New Wave which was popular genre in '80s.--Harout72 (talk) 03:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Genres after 1998 reunion

message: As I tried to show through references, You're my heart you're my soul '98 is in fact much more Eurodance-oriented than the original version.
Electronic music and Dance music are not very precise genres here, because Modern Taking made a lot of electronic, dance-oriented songs (at first in New wave, Synthpop and Europop genres, and from 1998-2003 in a more Eurodance-oriented genre).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.12.250.93 (talk) 21:45, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Per proc. 

message: One interpretation is 
* "—The Emperor, [signed] on behalf [of whom by] The Imperial Envoy"
Another is 
* "—The Imperial Envoy, [signing] on behalf [of] The Emperor"
Therefore I do not see how the following statement in the article is logical:
However, this would mean that two people signed the letter, one in his own person, one "by the agency of another" (without that other being expressly indicated).  
That seems to require a fanciful interpretation like:
* "—Adam Adamson (Acme Corp.), [and also, signing] on behalf [of an unspecified party,] Björk Bjarnadóttir (Pinnacle Ltd.)."
That seems like an unlikely interpretation to me.  Are there any real-life exemplars of this that can be cited?

thread_title:  Different interpretations 

message: I faintly recall seeing signature blocks prepended with just "per", which — based on the present article — could have been an ellipsis consistent with shortening the English "through the agency of" to just "through".  Although at the time I fancied it was intended to mean "for" (that is, "acting on behalf of" or "representing").  If anyone can find a reliable reference for such usage, I suggest it be added to the article.

thread_title: Help improve our long-awaited [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Gloucestershire|Wikiproject]]!

message: This article now has four sections, grouping the paragraphs together by subject and with the history in chronological order. I had to move paragraphs around but without losing anything, except to remove some repetitions of the point about continuous occupation by the family. I constructed a leading section containing the most notable points, as per WP:LEAD. I also distributed the existing three images across the sections. 
I found some references for the section on Edward II but the last two sections don't have any references as yet. I removed the one reference which did exist, which was to a webpage whose content is a copy of the Wikipedia text of this article (it was attributed to wikipedia) - so it was a circular reference. The new structure should hopefully make it easier for us to find the citations needed.

Talk:Nitrium (disambiguation)

message: The current nitrium stub is extremely stubby.  There doesn't seem to be an interest in expanding it.

Along with some others, I am agreeable to merging the nitrium article to the nitrium (disambiguation) page.  By doing so, what we will lose is some references/citations.  However, if one is really a detective, they could look at the nitrium history page.

Talk:Pyrophyllite

message: Around Varnasi (formerly Benares, aka Kashi), on the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, India, there is (or was two decades ago) a handicraft industry of turning a very soft, highly colorful stone into boxes and vases on woodturning lathes with high speed steel tools, and also carving it with bits turning abut 20,000 RPM inserted in small homemade (20 years ago, anyhow) flexible shaft handpieces. One of the manufacturers, to the best of my recollection, told me the material was actually pyrophyllite quarried near Mirzapur, though it was often casually referred to as talc, which is equally soft, but a different mineral.
In additional to the boxes and statuettes above, the stone was used in manufacturing, er, chilums and other "smoking" accessories.
There is another soft stone that is also carved in fine detail, usually into small statues, to be found in Orissa -- it is grey and resembles limestone-- but I believe is, or may be, a different mineral.
Maybe someone wants to follow up with the Indian craft authorities or Handicraft Museum in New Delhi to get further details? The facts need a further check before adding to the main article. 
Kisii stone carvings in Wikipedia are also reported to be pyrophyllite -- see Steatite towards bottom of the article.
There is also an industry of turning thick-walled black stone bowls in Korea (dolsot) which are used for cooking, and/or food is added to the heated bowls and brought to the table sizzling (see http://www.yummyletter.com/newsletters/cook-i12.html  ). A characteristic of the bowls is that they resist cracking under both heating and thermal shock when food is then added. The material is soft like pyrophyllite but is reported to be agalmatolite. which may be a variety of soapstone, or steatite or may be pyrophyllite ( Pagodite ).
This whole area needs a mineralogist to sort through it and get everything clearly differentiated or unified by what the materials actually are.
Dolsot, the Korean stone bowls (see Bibimbap), probably deserve an article of their own.
