Talk:Alamannia

message: Not mentioned. Possibly "alle manne", ie. "all men" i.e. a confederation of tribes. In any case, latin "alemanni" -> "allemand"  (German) in modern French.
Alemanni Dictionary.com
name of a Suebic tribe or confederation that settled in Alsace and part of Switzerland (and source of the Fr. Allemand "German"), from P.Gmc. *Alamanniz, probably meaning "all-man" and denoting a wide alliance of tribes, but perhaps meaning "foreign men" (cf. Allobroges, name of a Celtic tribe in what is now Savoy, in L. lit. "the aliens," in reference to their having driven out the original inhabitants), in which case the al- is cognate with the first element in L. alius "the other" and Eng. else.

message: small item: this article says "alemania" for germany is in modern castilian spanish. and the 'Alamanni' article says its in spanish, without making distinction of dialect. i dont speak castilian spanish, but im very familiar with it. i speak mexican spanish, and that's exactly how i say germany, and speakers from other latin american countries say it the same. maybe this article needs to be revised by simply omitting "castilian".4.230.162.96 04:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've restored my edits to the capitalization of the section headings - see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings)#Capitalisation for details on the usual format for section headings. Specifically, only the first letter of the first word in the section heading is capitalized. I also consolidated some lonely bulletpoints into prose paragraphs - this is also more consistent with other encyclopedia articles. I think consolidation also makes it read much more smoothly - I don't think it's necessary to have section headers for just one or two sentences that can reasonably fit elsewhere.

Talk:Joseph Marie Jacquard

message: Please see:  Janet Delve, "Joseph Marie Jacquard:  Inventor of the Jacquard loom," IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, vol. 29, no. 4, pages 98-102 (October-December 2007).  
Contrary to the account posted, Jacquard's father was a man of substantial property:  he owned a workshop (where he kept his looms), a house, a vineyard, and a quarry.  Joseph, the son, inherited all of this when his father died in 1772.  Joseph dabbled in real estate.  He married a widow of considerable property.  He did fall into debt, but he did not become destitute.  He did have a son Jean Marie (born 19 April 1799), but there is no evidence to support the claim that Jean Marie died at his father's side during a battle.
Jacquard's loom was NOT an immediate success:  the mechanism that drove the belt of cards was faulty.  Only after Jean Antoine Breton solved the mechanism's problems did sales of the loom improve.
I suspect that much of the misinformation about Jacquard came from this source, which was used as the basis of most subsequent accounts of Jacquard:
: General Jean-Victor Poncelet, Travaux de la Commission Francaise.  L’Exposition Universelle de 1851, vol. 3, part 1 (Machines et outils appliqués aux arts textiles), section 2, pages 348-349 (1857).

Talk:Trapped in the Closet (South Park)

message: As part of the ongoing drive to reevaluate old FAs according to modern norms, I took at look at this article, and have some comments on issues I think stand in the way of it being a featured-quality article:
*The article seems very unbalanced in terms of what it covers. I get that the controversy around scientology was a big part of the discussion around the episode, but the "controversy" section both seems like a bad place to cover a lot of it (it's weird Hayes' departure gets mentioned after the discussion in production about why they chose to do the episode and its direct relevance) and also feels like it really could use a pass for summary style (some of the information is plain trivia, like "hey they referenced this in a cover illustration years after the fact" at the end. Why does a joke at Tom Cruise's sexuality merit a four-sentence quote from Entertainment Weekly with no followup? etc.) From an organization perspective, a lot of the stuff is better put in development, release, etc, instead of a "controversy" section. 
*The reception section seems pretty spare. There's very little actual critical reception from publications at the time, the analysis section doesn't actually say much at present, and the legacy section is mostly just a rebranded "in popular culture" trivia section. From a quick search of academic databases and Google Books, there's newer scholarship that should be reflected in the article (e.g., ; the article at present basically doesn't cover anything in the last decade-plus.
*:File:South Park Xenu.jpg needs a better fair use rationale, and I don't think there's much justification for :File:Cmonjews.jpg and especially :File:South Park Scientology grafitti.jpg; they're not the subject of critical commentary and they're mostly illustrative.
