Talk:Rathaus-Glockenspiel

message: the [rathaus-glockenspiel] is a huge tourist attraction.  But the author clearly interjects "biggest disappointment" and "tourists are often left with a confused look on their face"
this needs to be cleaned up--SVTCobra 30 June 2005 01:00 (UTC)
It does need cleaning up. However the disappointment and/or bewilderment felt by tourists is very real and can be seen everyday on Marienplatz. The Glockenspiel is a great example of 'famous for being famous.' Many tourists are confused with the disparity between their expectations of the Glockenspiel, based no doubt upon 'must see' recommendations in guide books, and the reality of the spectacle. As a tourist attraction it works: tourists are attracted to it. I would wager however, that the majority of them are not hardcore Glockenspiel fans who travel the world tracking down Glockenspiels but are in fact there because when you go to Munich, that's what you do. The Berlin Wall is also disappointingly small - but that doesn't mean people shouldn't go and see it. The comments are a description of the real feelings of tourists viewing the event as observed by a tour guide who stands in front of the crowds every day.
The comments were included with caveats: "some would say..." and "often" (not "always"). The article is not supposed to be written for the benefit of the Munich tourism industry with a glowing review of the wonders of the Glockenspiel but a fair description of what happens and how this is received. The Glockenspiel's status as tourist attraction #1 means that commenting on the experience of viewing it from the tourists POV is also a valid topic for the article.

::To the amusement of tourists and locals? I've never met any local who reacted any other than I do, viz., "oh there's that Glockenspiel again" and it's significantly more difficult to pass through the Marienplatz (to whichever place you were heading - all the time passing through people's camera outlooks but even if you do want to be courteous, you cannot avoid that. The music is not bad, but I have yet to take a full look of it. (If you're in the mood of doing something funny, and not in a hurry, try to push a bike through the crowd.)--2001:4CA0:2FFF:1:0:0:0:1CD (talk) 10:20, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Fly fishing

message: I made an edit which was, correctly, reverted as poor, unreliable, and close to copyvio (User talk:Pol098#Fly fishing edit revert; thanks Mike Cline). The purpose for my edit was quite simply that I had no idea of the difference between dry & wet fly fishing (having done no fishing), and was trying to find out; not finding the information in the article I had to search outside Wikipedia. My hope with this sort of edit is more to prompt more knowledgeable people to improve the information that had been missing than to implement a lasting change. So I'd suggest that the article, which mentions "wet fishing" without explanation, does not sufficiently explain the difference for the non-expert, and encourage anyone who knows the subject to improve it (or leave my inappropriate content to spur others to act!) While I invoke WP:BRD, I'm not in a position to go further and make a better contribution. I'd also suggest that the dry fly fishing article could also explain, briefly, the difference. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 15:17, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added a note on the difference. Any use as far as it goes? I agree that an explanation of these distinctions needs more prominence, but as I am not a fisherman either I prefer to move slowly. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:39, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That would have helped me a lot when I tried to use the article. Best wishes, Pol098 (talk) 17:02, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Glad I could help. I would just add that making bad edits just to goad others can be seen as WP:DISRUPTIVE. Better to come to the article talk page sooner rather than later. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:31, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: My edit didn't "disrupt progress towards improving an article", but directly encouraged a definite improvement! It wasn't deliberate disruption, just a poor effort, worse than I realised as the source was wrong. I thought it wasn't too bad, better than nothing; on balance I still think so, not mentioning the topic was worse. It certainly comes under WP:BRD (my most recent BRD edit was to add a significant sentence to documentation of the Citation template which I hope will influence thousands of edits; it has stayed in place, after reversion of an over-explained version).By the way, my usual (not 100%, but very usual) experience of discussing something on Talk is that nothing happens, so the change gets made after a delay - a waste of time and effort.

Talk:Red Cedar River (Michigan)

message: I was born and raised close to the Red Cedar river in Lansing, having spent many hours fishing and exploring its banks, I will confirm that there are plenty of game fish in this river.
In 1977, I landed a 14 pound, 39" northern pike under the Hagadorn Rd pedestrian bridge, which is still the largest pike I ever caught.
At the rapids, by the MSU library, smallmouth bass are all over the place.
I caught many large pike and bass between Hagadorn road and the rapids as a kid.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.56.246 (talk) 10:41, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Make technical articles understandable

message: @XOR'easter I wonder if there's a good venue for coordinating on "top-notch coverage of math topics taught in high school and the first couple years of college". I'd also like to see this happen, but it could be nice to organize some group effort rather than individual contributors trying to take each one as a one-off, perhaps something along the lines of the old "collaboration of the month" or the like. I think even aiming for green checks or gold stars shouldn't be the top priority, but just getting all of the most common pages to a consistently decent "B class" kind of standard, with special focus on the lead sections. I feel like the math Wikiproject isn't quite the venue (or rather, it plausibly could be, but I feel people might get annoyed if the traffic there increased a lot discussing a wide set of such articles).
I personally have been trying to put in the research to further improving (or write where they don't yet exist) the articles about spherical geometry and its history, spherical trigonometry, the most common map projections, and more generally some other kinds of geometry topics that could (but typically don't) appear in school. But while these topics have plenty of applications to industry (GIS, attitude control, kinematics, etc.) they're at least somewhat obscure compared to stuff right in the main line of the school curriculum. I wouldn't mind spending some time looking up sources, drawing or redrawing diagrams, etc. for high-value articles. I wonder if there's a good way to e.g. get a page view summary of all articles currently in the math wikiproject and pick out a few that are important and high traffic but currently mediocre. –jacobolus (t) 05:21, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Master (Peerage of Scotland)

message: Is this form applicable only to peerages?  I dimly remember reading that an heir can be Master of something other than a peerage, but can't remember what!  —Tamfang (talk) 08:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  peerages only? 

message: A few articles give 'Master' titles to heirs too distant for a courtesy peerage of their own:
* Master of Strathnaver, grandson of the Countess of Sutherland
* Master of Aberdour, grandson of the Earl of Morton
* Master of Bruce, grandson of the Earl of Elgin
* Master of Ogilvy, grandson of the Earl of Airlie
* Master of Stormont, grandson of the Earl of Mansfield
Other persons who might claim such styles, or so it seems to me, include:
* Master of Drumlanrig: Lord Torquil Douglas, second son of the 12th Marquess of Queensberry
* Master of Elcho: Hon. Andrew Charteris, cousin of the 13th/9th Earl of Wemyss and March
* Master of Dalmeny: Hon. Albert Caspian Harry Primrose, grandson of the 7th Earl of Rosebery
* Master of Carnegie: Hon. George William Carnegie, second grandson of the 3d Duke of Fife
* Master of Aithrie: Hon. Victor Hope, second grandson of the 4th Marquess of Linlithgow
Also, is there a good reason not to list a Master/Mistress of Lothian, Rothes, Galloway, Northesk, Kintore, Oxfuird, Terregles, Kinloss, Culross, Cameron, Freeland or Nairne? —Tamfang (talk) 23:56, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
