Talk:Thomas Hill (painter)

message: Tylercos stated that "almost no early paintings by Thomas Hill exist today."  This is not correct, and I can site many examples of his early works.  I deleted this assertion from the article, but I'm more than willing to discuss on this Talk page.  Further, Hill was not considered a member of the Hudson River School, and I reworked that sentence and cleaned up that stuff about his association with Champney.  JJ 13:45, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Corrections

message: IMO, this external link should be eliminated.  Links to commercial art galleries do not enhance articles on various artists.  Thomas Hill paintings are available from many galleries, and this one should get no special wiki-treatment.  Links to sites that sell are not appropriate.  I welcome any comments before I delete this link.  JJ 13:39, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked for several links for this article. This one is a great one because it lists many of the medals/awards this painter won. While it is slightly commercial, it does add to this article and I intend to cite it for a medal section I will create within the next week. Many of the other galleries on this artist have similar links to buy a copy of a sketch or painting. I was going to include a similar gallery but declined to do so because this one was the best I saw. It confirmed another medal I saw in another source. Many of the other articles/sources do not have a full listing as this link. Ronbo76 18:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Burt Wolf's show claims that not one Chinese is to be seen in :File:The Last Spike 1869.jpg, while there are plenty in original photographs like :File:1869-Golden Spike.jpg... AnonMoos (talk) 22:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Mr. Wolf is absolutely wrong in this contention. There are, in fact, two Chinese workers (one standing, one sitting) prominently visible on the track in the foreground of the painting just to the left of center. They can be seen immediately in front of CPRR Division Superintendent John Corning and E. Black Ryan, the Private Secretary to Gov. Stanford, and appear to be looking over the shoulder of the kneeling F. L. Vandenberg, the chief electrician for the event who is adjusting the wire which leads off through the crowd to the telegraph pole on the right over which will be sent the signal to announce that Gov. Stanford had struck the Hewes spike with the silver hammer to drive it in to the ceremonial laurel sleeper. Centpacrr (talk) 22:39, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Actually, I think the proper edit for this particular section should either be to simply remove it or at least remove 'Bamboo Vinegar' as the entry for Pyroligneous acid notes 'wood vinegar' (Pyroligneous acid) is not unique to bamboo charcoal production.

thread_title: Large-scale trimming

message: The article as it stands today still has a series of unsourced claims in it, especially with regard to the "uses" of the material.  It looks like the article has already been scraped clean of many of these in previous years.  I am going to try to finish (?) the job, as there appears to have been a pattern of adding claims that make this stuff sound like it is made of pixie dust and angel wings.  It is charcoal made from bamboo... Am tempted to propose a merger into the article on charcoal, but "bamboo charcoal" appears to really be a "thing" in the far east (at least, in people's minds) so a merge seems inappropriate.  A better move might be a rewrite that is a complete debunking of the unusual nature of the stuff, though that requires more chemical expertise than I have. KDS4444Talk 07:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Operating cost

message: Wikipedia's Operating cost and Operating expense articles seem to be describing the same thing.
If they are in fact the same thing, they should be combined, with one article redirecting to the main term.
If they are different (one of the articles contains a formula that implies that they are, but has no citation and is suspect, given that these articles draw no clear distinction between the two) then both articles should be revised to define each term clearly and distinctly from the other.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:E03:EBC0:5D18:CCC9:D261:ACFE (talk) 04:10, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

message: "The ship was damaged in 1864 when trying to rescue a crew of 7."
* Isn't the Zetland best described as a boat rather than a ship?  Or is this nominative determinism at work?  BTW I have actually seen the Zetland.

Talk:TNC

message: tnc is when a buisness company expands 
When a company expand its business in different parts of the world it looses its identity. Loosing the identity does not indicate the loosing of its value for exapmle, NESTLE is not a Swiss company, it is a world companyin a place where there is no boundary. It becomes a global market where MNC's grow into TNC With the constant merger and acquisitions across borders , there is a constant influx of culture, values and a fluid identity. 
----
MNC'S and TNC'S are fundamentally different.MNC's adopt to the local environment, so there are endless variations in the product, scope and in the market segments. Ultimately the environment is supreme.
On the otherhand, the TNC's they control their own business environment. They do not adopt normally and they establish a linkage with the local milieu.Global companies produce standard products and TNC produce the local product but with local variations.There should be a high degree of local learning to make a company TNC.The point is not the knowledge gained in any particular market, but the knowledge gained and transferred accross different location in the world.TNC's transfer learning  from headquarter to subsidiaries and subsidiaries again transfer learning to the head quarter. So, it is a reciprocal relation based on either control mechanisms or informal relationships with trust. Strategy Flowdiagram of TNC:

thread_title: R. Neumann Leathers building

message: This article states that Guild made the first production acoustic guitars with cutaways in 1972. This is clearly false, and they were not the first. The Selmer-Maccaferri guitars were the earliest production model guitars to feature cutaways as a standard feature. They were made between 1932 to about 1952.  Gibson started putting cutaways on archtops during the 30's, and their first flattop acoustic guitar model with a cutaway was the CF-100, which was introduced in 1950. I believe this entry was probably put in the article by Rick Excellente himself. I used to work for the guy, and he tells tall tales!  DavidRavenMoon (talk) 07:58, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

# Some has hyphens (e.g. 三重, 新豐), but some don't (e.g. 中正). I decided not to use hyphens because there is no hyphen in most university names. 
# Different spelling in different pages. Take 清水高中 for example, it has "Ching Shui" in the browser title, "Cing-Shuei" in the home page, "Chingshui" in the header logo and history page. 
# The English in the official site of 宜蘭高中 is "I-lan". But I decided to use "Yilan" to make it synchronous to the location name.
