Talk:Kitty Dukakis

message: I really doubt most readers of her memmoir, especially shortly after it was published, were astounded "when she revealed that she even drank rubbing alcohol." She did drink rubbing alcohol, but readers would most likely have heard about it well before the book was published, as it was a big news item when it happened. It is surely a well-known fact about Kitty, perhaps second only to the fact of her being the wife of a presidential candidate. Here are three stories related to the incident:

thread_title:  Astounding readers/drinking rubbing alcohol 

message: I have undone the removal of Bernie Shaw's famous debate question regarding Mrs. Dukakis.  It is regarded as one of the seminal moments of that campaign and has been discussed in every political science class about the 1988 election.  Removing it seems silly and cheats those younger people who are unaware of that part of history.  Some say it was a good questions, others say it was dirty, but it happened.  Bernie Shaw's early career was defined by it and the question may be why Mr. Dukakis was not elected.  A possible reason for the defeat of a presidential candidate is not something that should be excluded.  It should be noted that the user who removed it has a history of pumping up Democratic candidates.  Check his history.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 8920ak (talk • contribs) 21:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: just re-ordered and then copied the list of LH concerti by composer's surname since I thought that'd be quite useful -- when I started reading the chronological list, I at first didn't realize how it was organized at all, and then once I figured it out still didn't see why that was the best way to do it. But anyway someone with more time and know-how could probably consolidate... note that I literally copied over the original text, links, everything, with two minor changes: getting rid of the second ref wherever it occurs so as not to duplicate it; and for composers with multiple works making sure the first appearance was the one which links to his/her page. 76.103.30.165 (talk) 11:40, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  organizing the page 

message: I'm not sure where to place this comment, so I'm putting it here.  The article correctly states that 'concertos for right hand alone' are more rare than those for the left hand.  Cliquet-Pleyel composed one of these rare right-hand only concertos, and furthermore his may have been the first.  He was a member of Erki Satie's circle, and left a number of significant works.
Why, then, when I click on the link to Henri Cliquet-Pleyel do I find nothing more than a stub in the French Wiki?  Why is there no article in the English Wiki?
More specifically: I created an article in English on Cliquet-Pleyel, more extensive and better referenced than the French article.  What happened to it?  Why would my article have been removed and the French article allowed to stand?  Neither contradicted anything in the other, mine was simply more detailed and in English.  How are such things followed up upon?
Or do I just keep re-creating the article any throwing it at Wiki until it "sticks"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chatte Merde (talk • contribs) 23:02, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Ceremonial clothing in Western cultures

message: Note: the original title of this article was  Clothes for ceremonial occasions, but it went on to talk about clothes worn by "Westerners", by which the article seems to mean people of those countries with a Christian / Jewish cultural tradition. --Ianb 05:34, 27 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Traditionally, a wedding dress was not white, and white is not the color of purity. White is the color of death and cowardice (white flag, white livered, white feather). Brides do not wear white because they are pure. The color of purity and virginity is blue (hence "something blue").
The "old jingle" (which is not THAT old - it is from the 1850s):
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed and something blue
This refers to traditional wedding practices. It was most unusual to acquire a whole new dress to one's wedding. Instead one would use one's best dress ("something old"), with a new apron, shawl
 etc. ("something new"), and adornments and jewelry was often borrowed since few could afford to buy it themselves ("something borrowed")

Talk:Country rock

message: Is there any meaningful difference between "country rock" and Southern rock? Tuf-Kat 06:12, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
: Yeah.  Country rock is a lot more country.  Gram Parsons is country rock, Lynryd Skynyrd are Southern rock.  They don't sound all that similar.  Naturally there's a crossover : Little Feat, Commander Cody et al.  Country rock tends to be song and vocal based -- country songs with a rockier arrangement, Southern Rock are mainly rock songs with a countrified arrangement and harmony.  Southern rock thinks nothing of filling entire sides of a double album with instrumental jams (Hey, the Allman Brothers Band, this means YOU!)
Southern Rock is arguably a fusion of country rock with blues rock, with a lyrical emphasis on Southern culture. Of course, all three subgenres are diverse and tend to overlap. Heck, the Marshall Tucker Band was countrier than most of what gets played on country radio these days. Just my 2¢. Archola 00:59, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

text: She is certainly styled "Lady Justice" in official documents and orally by lawyers. As to the point about a "Lady Chancellor", I concur, given that Lady Hayman is called the "Lord Speaker". But I think that it is entirely feasible that a future female Lord Chief Justice (Lady Justice Hallett, maybe, after Lord Judge?) would be known as the "Lady Chief Justice".

thread_title:  "Propagation of error" 

message: There are problems with two of the sections. The logarithmic section unhelpfully states that a log scale is 'helpful' in comparing magnitudes. It doesn't define what is meant, and in fact it is wrong. Log scales are used to compare the RATIOs of magnitudes often the ratio being relative to a standard. A log scale is one of many non-linear scales, unfortunately this article completely ignores the others. It also doesn't seem to understand that metric spaces have a norm, and this should be mentioned. The Order of Magnitude section REQUIRES references! What it claims is also WRONG. "Order of Magnitude" does NOT imply anything about a change. It is simply the power of 10 that a value has. It is NONSENSE to claim that the term has anything to do with "moving the decimal point". I challenge this section. It should be removed. (It appears to have been written by a troll: geek culture?! Apparently, the "author" (to use the term generously) has never heard of the the Big O function (see Big O notation), which is used in computer science (and advanced mathematics).)

Talk:Foxtrot (dance)

message: I was under the impression that the "legend" that Foxtrot was named after Harry Fox was just that... an unverified legend. According to my copy of Victor Sylvester's "Modern Ballroom Dance" (which is not an authoritative reference, otherwise I would simply change the page), "[i]t has the eponymous hero in the person of one Harry Fox, who was among the first to introduce it to the vaudeville stage, but the suggestion that it was named after the gait or pace of the horse, known in the West as a 'Foxtrot', is a much more plausible one."
: It could be both: a pun with Harry's name clicked into place. In fact, the gait alone IMO does not fit the story: it is a diagonal gait, and surely doesn't fit for the description of a dance of a couple or a single person, unless something else (like, one Harry) comes into play. I will not vouch, however. Mikkalai 18:24, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)
