Talk:Heckelphone

message: As it stands, the second para. contradicts itself - first saying that the early 20th-century English composers were writing for the heck., then saying that recent evidence indicates they were writing for the hautbois baryton. I have attempted to make it more coherent, but am aware that the general gist of the re-written para. favours it being the heck., which may be subject to dispute. Certainly the general statement that "English composers were not scoring for Heckelphone" is incorrect (Havergal Brian, for one, was writing for the heck.), but perhaps there is evidence in the case of some of the composers. If so, by all means make the para. more nuanced (and it would be useful to cite, or link to, the "recent evidence"). Vilcxjo 00:49, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

English parts labeled  'bass oboe ' as in Delois's First Dance Rhapsody (1908) and Holst's The Planets, are played on either bass oboe or hecklephone. For the composer knew, this decision was ultimately not his. It would be whichever the "player" happens to produce. Nowadays, usually Hecklephone. It has been said that both these works were written with the hecklephone in mind.  beny (talk) 10:43, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heckelphone or Bass Oboe? 

message: This article states that 'about 150' have been made, while the article on the Oboe states the more precise 165. However, neither article is clear on the source of this figure.  It would be good if this article were to cite an authoritative source for this figure.

thread_title: How many?

message: On the baritone oboe page it is stated that the heckelphone has a different fingering system than standard members of the oboe family. From the picture, the key configuration looks identical to other oboes, though. I think that's very relevant, could someone elaborate about the difference? Thanks. -- megA (talk) 14:46, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fingering System? 

message: I personally consider this a well-written article. My statement would probably get a "citation needed" mark from whoever edited it in July 2012 though. Please don't edit angry. As to world interest, I am in Australia and used this article to estimate a suitable digitally-sampled sound to use in the musical "The Secret Garden". As it stands, I cannot even find a sample library where it might exist so I'll have to mess around with the EQ on a bassoon sample. One of the best YouTube clips about it is from New Zealand.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davechivers (talk • contribs) 09:00, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Well written, poorly edited 

message: A bass oboe reed is similarly  made like other oboe reeds. generally on a staple. 
The hecklephone reed is more often made without a staple, like  A bassoon reed, which it resembles in shape, though it is smaller - about 60 mm long and 12 1/2 mm across the tip.  beny (talk) 19:53, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Robert C. Prim

message: There is a single biographical reference to Robert C. Prim that appears to have been copied and pasted in a number of websites as well as the book, Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications by Kenneth H. Rosen, that erroneously state that Robert Prim received his Bachelor's degree from Princeton University, when in fact he received it from the University of Texas at Austin.  It's not clear which reference is the source of the error.  His graduation from UT-Austin is supported by the linked obituary to his late wife Alice Prim, who also graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, where they met.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenboite (talk • contribs) 17:15, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Can someone verify that he's still alive? I found an unsourced reference that he died in 2012.
I find it hard to believe that he'd be alive at nearly 100 years old, although it is possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.37.210.104 (talk • contribs) 12:55, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I cannot find reliable sourcing for this date but if we can find it, then we should update the article. If it is true, it should be findable in the Social Security Death Index.

message: It's no great surprise that a ballet dancer was gay. But that stereotype is by no means enough.  There is nothing about his private life at all in the article.  There needs to be something in the article, with citations, about a same-sex partner or partners, to support these categories.  Otherwise, it looks like we're just assuming the stereotype is true in his case.  And thta would never do.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 21:34, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

I have always made it a point not to endorse any make of piano, and even if I did, it would not be Mason and Hamlin.  It is true I have used them in concert occasionally, but it is not my "favourite" piano and my use of them comprises not more than 1% of the concerts I have played.  This is outrageous.

It would be confusing for an encyclopedia to have two separate cases on Mabo, as to non legal people they are not going to understand the consequences. If the two cases can be properly merged, i.e not just 'copy and dump' text, but properly edited and expanded then we can begin to have a great Australian law section.

Talk:List of Final Fight characters

message: With the exception of the main characters and those who had playable appearances in other games (namely Sodom and Rolento), I took the liberty of merging all Final Fight characters into one list. Personally, I think it was getting ridiculous how every single boss in the game had his own article, no matter how little backstory they have. Especially considering most of them rehashed plot summanary. I will develop a similar list for Final Fight 2 and Final Fight 3 characters. Jonny2x4 02:26, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: So how we should we handle Final Fight 2 and 3 characters. They're even less significant than the ones from the original (with the exception of Maki). I don't think two more lists would be neccesary. I also tempted to have the Andore and Poison articles redirect here, since they don't have much vital info that isn't covered here. Poison's role in SF3 is more of a cameo than an actual participant. Cody, Haggar, Guy, Sodom, Rolento and (probably) Maki will be left to their own articles, since they have significant presence outside the series. Jonny2x4 01:04, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
