message: Antal Dorati's set of Haydn's symphonies includes an "alternate finale" to the Drumroll.

replies: text: There's two versions of the coda for the finale.  One is 49 bars and the other 36.  The difference is 13 bars in the middle which are cut from the longer version and replace by mm 366-367.

message: According to the article The Sun, the tabloid was published for the first time in 1964. There is no mention of another newspaper by this name at any time before that year, and apparently there was no "Sun" in the late 18th century. So where was this glowing critic of the first performance of the symphony was published? thank you, שלומית קדם (talk) 17:19, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for raising this issue.  But could you please clarify a bit?  You say "apparently" there was no Sun in the late 18th century, but you're not telling us your basis for thinking this.  Who is actually denying the existence of the 18th century newspaper?  On the other side of the issue, if Robbins Landon, a well-known Haydn scholar, quotes a passage from the 18th century Sun, I'm rather inclined to believe it existed.

Talk:Symphony No. 104 (Haydn)

message: An edit I just reverted suggests that Haydn got the main theme of the second movement from a string duo by Mozart.  It was clever of the contributor to notice the resemblance (both works are on line and can easily be checked), but I'm actually very skeptical of this hypothesis.  The overlap of the two themes is brief, and both tempo and affect are quite different.  Lastly, it's verboten (for good reasons) to put personal insights of this kind on WP (see WP:NOR; if some published scholar has noticed the resemblance it would ok to include it.

Talk:Mountain, Wisconsin

message: Mountain is a very prominent tourist destination in Wisconsin - this is fact and would certainly be useful to anybody using Wikipedia to find information about Mountain.  I think in the overzealous attempt to keep town and location descriptions in Wikipedia academic, there is too much editing of nuance that we would find in a real encyclopedia... these are things people search Wikipedia to find out.  If they wanted know census information, they would search a government site (if one was using this information in an academic essay, he/she can't cite Wikipedia anyways as a credible source and so they would go straight to the source of the information - so this information really is the least important that Wikipedia has to offer).
This raises the problem of how you cite nuance and personal experience.  The additions I have made to the Mountain (that have since been removed) were based on personal experience.  There are no possible sources you can cite when describing the tourism aspect of a small town, save perhaps commercial sites would not be a viable source anyways.
This information SHOULD be up there, regardless that citation is lacking.  Samueljamesfarrell (talk) 20:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Lost Lake (Minnesota)

message: Recently, I wrote this article, but an admin deleted it because they thought I made it up. Try Googling "Mound Minnesota Lost Lake" to see that it really exists. I wish to avoid having to keep rewriting the article. It's not the best writing I have done, but over time, myself and others will work on it. This lake is as significant as many other lakes in Lake Minnetonka. (Lake Minnetonka is really about 30 connected lakes.) Other lakes are included in WP, so is that a good enough reason for it to be included? Also, it is true that Mound has bet a lot on Lost Lake, and some people do take issue with the Council's handling of it. (Also, see my Talk page that covers what the admin and I discussed.)

Talk:Yallourn

message: This site delivers the standard company line (government line in this case) that the town of Yallourn was demolished because the coal underneath it was required for the local power station. But it's closure was surrounded by considerable controversy. It was pointed out by many that there is almost unlimited coal between where the township stood and the coast near Sale. The need for the coal was never reason enough on its own. It's clear that the ongoing cost of maintaining the ageing company town was also highly relevant.
More recent developments have suggested that some within the SEC already realised the risk and future liabilities associated with the asbestos used heavily throughout the town, and wanted to minimise that aspect of its operations too.

On this page (http://www.world-waterfalls.com/waterfall.php?num=287) it also mentions this common misconception and states that the falls are only 400 ft.  I am not sure of the truth, but the height and ranking should certainly be questioned.
Ya! You know why that can be, it depends how they measure the waterfalls! Because sometimes for Yosemite Falls, it's not the highest, because they measure it as 3 different waterfalls instead of one!
