Talk:King Tubby

message: The article is better with "enormous" because it is more informative.  There have been plenty of influential people in the development of dub music, but King tubby is above and beyond probably anyone else.  He is enormously influential.  Without that word, he is perceived as no more influential than a thousand other early dub artists.  If you want a cite, I'll go dig one up, but it shouldn't go in the first sentence because it would disturb the flow. Tuf-Kat
:"King Tubby is to this day synonymous with dub." (allmusic.com and rollingstone.com)
*"Tubby invented dub." (vh1.com)
*(King Tubby is, among two others,) "a principle architect of the emergent dub style of the early '70s" (popmatters.com)
*"The Dub Pioneer and remix Godfather. In the 70s Tubby's sonic science transformed the way music was made and listened to in Jamaica and around the world. Studio boffins everywhere are in his debt." (BBC music profile)

message: The article mentions the infinitary intersection; but I think there must be a warning that the "infinitary intersection" of no sets is not defined (unless we accept that it is the class of all sets): \bigcap_{x \in \varnothing} x = ?\,.

message: In section "Arbitrary unions", toward the end the terms "infinitary union" and "infinitary intersection" make an appearance. What is the relationship between "arbitrary" and "infinitary"?  Naively I would have expected "infinitary" to be encompassed within "arbitrary", so now I wonder what special point is being made by restricting the last couple of statements ("Intersection distributes over infinitary union" on) to only infinitary.

HussaynKhariq (talk) 08:54, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Pronunciation

message: Surely this name is in Arabic, from the time and place and also the "ibn"? But then, how is it that the surname has a letter "P" in it when there is no such sound in Arabic? PML.
:Hebrew and Aramaic have a "p" sound. Because of cultural and linguistic continuities between Hebrew, Arabic and Aramaic, it is not uncommon for the Arabic name of a Jew to contain Hebrew or Aramaic elements or a Hebrew name to contain Arabic ones. Well, maybe less common now than it was.... Hebrew and Aramaic also enabled other languages with "p" sounds to be represented in an Arabic language context. Additionally, an invented letter "p" was added to the Arabic script shortly after the assimilation of Persia into the Khalifate to accomodate writing Persian in Arabic. DMD
I am linking this to NPOV dispute, as I do not know enough about the subject and have no sources to fix it.  Such glowing remarks on such a distant historical figure (without sources) seem somewhat subjective.  Words such as...
:Bahya combined in a rare degree great depth of emotion, a vivid poetic imagination, the power of eloquence, and beauty of diction with a penetrating intellect; and he was therefore well fitted to write a work the main object of which was not to argue about and defend the doctrines of Judaism, but to appeal to the sentiments and to stir and elevate the hearts of the people.

Talk:Headphones

message: I came to this page hoping it would clarify the distinction between words such as earphones, earbuds, headphones, etc. However, I noticed a couple of potential inconsistencies in the terminology:
1.
"Earphones are very small headphones that are fitted directly in the outer ear, facing but not inserted in the ear canal"
Earphones are a type of headphones.
"Headphones are also known as earphones[1] or, colloquially, cans.[2]"
Earphones is another word for headphones.
2.
"earbuds or earpieces[1] consist of individual units that plug into the user's ear canal"
Earbuds plug into the ear canal.
"Earphones are very small headphones that are fitted directly in the outer ear, facing but not inserted in the ear canal... (The use of the term earbuds, which has been around since at least 1984, did not hit its peak until after 2001, with the success of Apple's MP3 player.[40])"'
Earbuds fit in the outer ear; they don't plug into the ear canal.

Talk:Master of the King's Music

message: This is very new territory for me, and I'm hoping someone who knows more can help out.  I'm researching Sir Herbert Oakeley (1830-1903), a notable organist and composer.  
* My starting point was my trusty Grove's 1954 edition, which says he was "created composer of music to Her Majesty in Scotland" in 1881. This is confirmed here. 
* Here he's called "composer to the Queen, in Scotland".  
* Here he's "the Queen's Composer in Scotland". 
* Here, he's referred to as "Royal composer".
Naturally, I'm wondering whether this was a one-off, personal appointment for Oakeley, or whether it was an established office like Master of the Queen's Music(k).  
* If the former, what prevented the incumbent MQM, William Cusins, from performing this role?  
* If the latter, what is the history of the office and who were the other "composers of music to Her Majesty in Scotland" (or whatever the formal title of the appointment was)?  --  ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ [your turn] 03:05, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
