Talk:Seuso Treasure

message: Why is the name transcribed into the modern 26-letter alphabet as Sevso?  Wouldn't Seuso be more likely? AnonMoos 23:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am convinced that this is just an error that was made by some upper level media announcement in English and repeated all over the world in English popular usage. The spelling should be Seuso, since this is a Roman name, from Graeco-Roman heritage: ancient Latin orthography of EVROPA, EVCLIDES, AVREVS aren't transcribed as *Evropa, *Evclides or *Avrevs either. These must be written in English context as Europa, Euclides and aureus. I will modify the title of the article if there is no objection. --Gonda Attila (talk) 11:56, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Lucky Millinder

message: IP 76.125.210.188 has amended Millinder's year of birth from 1900 to 1910, stating in the edit summary that "Both the Social Security Death Index and the 1920 U.S. census for Chicago list his birth as 1910, not 1900".  I've checked the SSDI search here, which bears this out.  What seems odd to me is that I can't find any online references (or books) which say anything other than he was born in 1900.  Does anyone have any other information either way?  I'm adding a footnote to the effect that, although many sources give 1900, 1910 appears to be correct. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Don Redman

message: What's here already is good factual data.  But this guy deserves more.
Don Redman is usually considered one of the most important arrangers in the history of jazz.  His arrangements for Fletcher Henderson pretty much invented the big band jazz sounds that Duke Ellington further explored in the later 20's and 30's.  Reading this, you might think he was just some talented shmoe who did some "assisting" of Henderson, instead of arguably the most essential creative force and innovator of a very important jazz big band from 1923-7.  Fletcher Henderson himself was the "bandleader," but he only became an important arranger in later years--in the beginning it was mostly Redman, unless I have misread my history.
What does a Don Redman arrangement sound like?  Why is he important?  I'd like to see his contributions given more discussion (cited, of course).Sojambi Pinola 06:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

It's the colours of SWAPO. SWAPO is numerically dominated by oshiwambos-speakers, but that does not make the colours "Owambo".
