Talk:Saab 9-2X

message: Please vote on the proper classification of this vehicle by adding a single indented line with your answer and your name:
How should we categorize this car?
# It's a sports car
# It's a sporty sedan
# It's a "sports sedan" or "performance sedan"
# It's a luxury car
Thanks!--SFoskett 12:46, Oct 11, 2004 (UTC)
:I'd argue it's a sports sedan, given the tuning and turbocharging, and Saab's market positioning for the car. It's definitely not a sports car IMO. Stombs 11:27, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)
::The Subaru Impreza WRX is labelled "sports car" and the 9-2X is certainly sportier (lower unsprung weight and improved suspension for instance). // Liftarn
:::None of these classifications stick for the entirety of the 9-2X line...
:::The "sports car" page says "Most sports cars are rear-wheel drive, have two seats, two doors, and are designed for precise handling, acceleration, and aesthetics."  The 9-2X and WRX arguably meet half of these criteria. The 9-2X, while solidly built, is rather spartan in terms of interior features.  Navigation systems and power seats, for example, are not available as options.  On these grounds, the car is not a luxury model.  This car also comes as a wagon, which makes calling it a "sports sedan" somewhat misleading.  Given that only the 9-2X Aero is turbocharged (the 9-2X Linear is normally aspirated, coming in at around 165 hp), only the Aero deserves a "sport" designation.  Subaru bridges the gap by calling the WRX Wagon a "Sport Wagon."  At the end of the day this is a performance automobile, but it is not a sports car, a sport(s) sedan, or a luxury car.  Indeed, in terms of practical performance, it outperforms many of its sportier brethren, but this makes it an overachieving sedan (or wagon), not a sports or luxury car.

Template talk:History of Switzerland

message: Preliminary template for an article series on the History of Switzerland. My intention was to follow about this roadmap:
*Old Swiss Confederacy: Starting from the Bundesbrief from 1291 cover the history of the independece wars against the Habsburg dynasty. Slow expansion first by including Lucerne, then Zurich, and so on, leading to the "Acht Orte". Then subsequent expansion to the "Dreizehn Orte". Wars against Burgund (Charles the Bold). "Schwabenkrieg" (resulting in the de-facto independency). Should this go until 1536, when Berne occupied the Vaud? 1513 may be a bit an arbitrary date, maybe we should also cover the Battle of Marignano (1515) and related events in the 1520s here.
*Reformation: Zwingli, the second "Landfriede" (1531) and the subsequent re-establishment of catholizism in many areas. Calvin in Geneva. Also cover the 30 years war in the Grisons (Jürg Jenatsch), which largely was a religious war, too.
*Ancien Régime: de-jure independency after the Treaty of Westphalia (1648), rise of the Patricians; fourth "Landfriede" in 1712 (final end of religious wars in Switzerland), growing discrepancy between cities and their dependent rural areas (various peasant revolts were suppressed).
*Napoleonic era may actually be a misnomer. Should cover the Helvetic Republic, French occupation, the mediation act, the restoration following the Congress of Vienna 1815. Rise of the liberal powers. Up to and including the "Sonderbundskrieg".
*Federal state: Starting with the constitution of 1848. Revision of the constitution 1874.
*World Wars: Neutrality, military issues, Réduit doctrine. "Geistige Landesverteidigung". Treatment of refugees. Frontists. Also cover the time between the wars. This is probably going to be a controversial article!
*Modern history: the rest :-) Women's voting rights (1971, separation of the Canton of Jura, refusal to enter the European Union, membership in the U.N....
If we can pack something on economic necessities into these articles, all the better. The Reisläuferei (mercenaries) was an important economic factor until about the 17th century... Always dependent on corn imports. Export of cheese early on (14/15th cent.?) Industrialization, starting with textile factories in St. Gall and watchmaking in the Jura... (late 18th cent) heavy industry in the first half of the 19th century (Von Roll, GF, ...)

Talk:What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits

message: I've listened to the album and on the track "Another Park, Another Sunday", a vibraphone can be heard. I'm not sure if anybody knows who the player is, but my rough guess is that it could possibly be Milt Holland, since he was a jazz drummer and percussionist who played the vibes fairly frequently and he worked as a percussionist and/or drummer on lots of jazz, rock, pop, soul, funk and country records.
If anybody can come across a quote, comment or anecdote about who the vibraphonist is, that'll be good and please insert it into the article.

Talk:Dad Loves His Work

message: Re: "The album's title was, in part, drawn from the reasons for Taylor's divorce from Carly Simon. She gave him an ultimatum: cut back on his music and touring, and spend more time with her and their children, or the marriage was through. The album's title was his answer, and the divorce took place soon after."
This is what More Room in a Broken Heart: The True Adventures of Carly Simon by Stehan Douglas, published in 2012, has to say about this: "The album's title Dad Loves His Work was perhaps [my emphasis] an ironic explanation to his [James Taylor's] children of why he was rarely around....James would later swear that 'Her Town Too' was about Peter and Betsy Asher." This suggests to me that the Wikipedia article passage quoted above is purely speculative in regard to the meaning of the record title. I wouldn't object if the Simon bio were directly quoted in the main body of the article (NOT as a citation), retaining the perhaps, but I think it would be best for the article not to bring up the matter at all--unless someone can find a direct quotation from James Taylor himself explaining the title.TheScotch (talk) 05:45, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

:"My Romance" seems to have been added for the CD reissue, it was not on the original LP. I just bought the 5 CD box set "original album classics" which does include it, though on the individual CD packet it reproduces the original LP back cover where this track is not listed (which confused me at first). It is on the track list on the box though, with an asterisk and note "track not available on original LP version". It's the first time I have heard it :) , also is the only "CD only" track on this whole box set of albums (JT/Flag/Dad Loves His Work/That's Why I'm Here/Never Die Young). 59.154.42.163 (talk) 07:22, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Split Articles? 

message: I deleted most of the cultural references. The material seemed so obvious as to be not-notable. Here is the original section;
The song "4th of July" directly references the American holiday of Independence Day - including references to fireworks, an activity commonly associated with it in the U.S. - and is technically named after it, an alternate name for the holiday being the Fourth of July, derived from the date it takes place on (similar to how the Mexican holiday is referred to as Cinco de Mayo).
"Jacob Marley's Chain" refers to the Dickens character Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol, who was doomed after death to wander the earth suffering for his lifetime sin of greed; the chains he was weighted down by are used as a metaphor throughout the song.
"I Know There's A Word" refers at one point to "making him say uncle"; a direct reference to the practice of "crying uncle", literally that of crying out the word "uncle" as a safeword during rough childhood play.

Talk:Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii

message: Can anyone verify whether "Haiku, Hawaii" is exactly the same place as "Haiku-Pauwela, Hawaii"? After some quick Google searching, I've discovered that most websites seem to have knowledge only of one or the other.  But pages for Haiku, Haiku-Pauwela, and Pauwela on PlacesNamed.com list slightly different latitude and longitude coordinates (though as the site doesn't appear to speak with any authority, I don't know that we should rely on it to settle that sort of question), and  says:
:A staff review of the proposal reveals that Haiku-Pauwela is listed as a census designated place in the 1990 U.S. Census which attributes it with a population of 4,509.   According to the 1995 Rand McNally Commercial Atlas and Marketing Guide, Haiku is separately attributed with a population of 1,100.  Additionally, we have determined that Haiku contains churches, schools, and numerous commercial establishments, and is the distribution center for Pauwela's mail service.
The US Postal Service site can only give me a ZIP code for "Haiku", not "Haiku-Pauwela" or "Pauwela". If the two names refer to different towns, we should make an article for Haiku, Hawaii.  If they refer to the exact same place, we should make that article and redirect it to this one.  If they are not quite the same—perhaps one is a region of the other—we should explain that in the article, and still make the redirect. —Triskaideka 15:34, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
