message: No offense intended, but this map is quite bad and violated WP:OR as far as I can see. To begin with, Azerbaijan is entering this year and is still coloured yellow, so that would mean that the map is in fact from last year. By that time Kosovo wasn't a country and certainly not able to join, nor would it be this year so the yellow is just wrong. As San Marino is entering this year, it should at least be coloured yellow.

For example, central Kaduna city is largely Hausa but the settlements in the bush to the north of the city (around Rigacikun) seem to be mostly Christian and Gwari.

message: WikiProject Biography Summer 2007 Assessment Drive
I've changed the assessment from "Start" to "B" class. "Start" is nonsense for this comprehensive, learned, and well-written article, which certainly does not need "Substantial/major editing" or to have "most material for a complete article" added, per the definition of "Start class". "B" doesn't fit that well either, as it's by no means true that "Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors," but it's the closest I can do.

message: He had a slave of his very own and his "Essay on the Treatment and Conversion of African Slaves in the British Sugar Colonies" doesn't call for abolition; at the urging of his friends he removed all the political sections and they may have contained something on abolition, but the published version doesn't. He was calling for practical recognition of the moral rights of slaves, but not for their emancipation. Maybe he would if it hadn't seemed so obviously impractical, but he didn't.

message: Pacific Recorder & Engineering (PR&E) had developed a slightly modified format, that I believe was called "MaxTrax" and it was an optional feature on their line of cart players and recorders.  Instead of dividing up the 1/4" tape into 3 equal-sized tracks (left audio, right audio, and cue), the audio track were much larger, to yeild higher fidelity audio, and the cue track was much smaller as fidelity of the cue tone was not critical.--RadioTheodric (talk) 14:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The following statement appears to be some sort of non-sequitur: "In particular, his writing for bass instruments is far more demanding than that of other composers of his era, notably the utopian (as Heinz Holliger describes them) demands of the oboe scores in his trio sonatas." It is surely true that his writing for bass instrument is demanding. But why would Heinz Holliger be describing oboe parts in support of this idea ["scores" seems inappropriate here too]? A reference to something Heinz Holliger has actually said would be very helpful here.
Beowulf (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Heinz Holliger is well-placed to comment about oboes, of course. Jason Verlinde, reviewing a Holliger recording of trio sonatas on Amazon, describes them as "impossibly difficult" here: , but says nothing about bass instruments, and there is no quote from Holliger. His use of "utopian" appears here: "Evidently the volatile, utopian, experimental quality of the music - its insoluble mystery - still makes a great many performers (whether using period or modern instruments) feel insecure and frightens them off." But this obviously says nothing about "oboes scores" or even "bass instruments" in general. He's talking about quality or style, not the demands of the score.

Talk:Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui

message: I ran into a fascinating couple of pages on Burlamaqui in a recent law review article.
2. Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui Jean-Jacques Burlamaqui (1694–1748) was Professor of Natural Law at the Academy of Geneva.278 His treatise The Principles of Natural and Politic Law was translated into six languages (besides the original French) in sixty editions.279 His vision of constitutionalism had a major influence on the American Founders; for example, Burlamaqui’s understanding of checks and balances was much more sophisticated and practical than that of Montesquieu, in part because Burlamaqui’s theory contained the seed of judicial review. He was frequently quoted or paraphrased, sometimes with attribution and sometimes not, in political sermons during the pre-revolutionary era.280He was the first philosopher to articulate the quest for happiness as a natural human right, a principle that Thomas Jefferson later restated in the Declaration of Independence.281 (emphasis added) 
There is much more, but that is all I'll quote here.  Much rich material to be mined and strengthen this article, which would tie it to Constitutional Theory and Human Rights Theory.  I don't have time to work on this at present, but the source and wikified citation above will help whomever does eventually update the article. N2e (talk) 18:30, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I finally added the bulk of this short summary quotation to the article page, with citation of course.  There is much more on Bularmqui which may be mined from the Kopel et al law review article, about four pages of which is a very tight, wonderfully well-referenced summary of Burlamaqui and his impact on later developments in political theory and geopolitical developments, particulary with respect to constitutional theory, separation of powers, and powers to be retained by the citizenry in democratic polities. Importantly, the entire paper is now available online; I included a link in the citation. N2e (talk) 18:29, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree on the importance of Burlamaqui for the Declaration of Independence.  Kopel's article follows arguments from Ray Forrest Harvey's 1937 Jean Jacques Burlamaqui: A Liberal Tradition in American Constitutionalism, which discusses Burlamaqui's popularity in colonial America. I think that this should be incorporated into the article, along with Burlamaqui's recent editor's association of Burlamaqui's thought with that of Leibniz. --Other Choices (talk) 12:36, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
