Talk:Kenneth O'Donnell

message: Common to popular belief, it is impossible to die of "alcoholism", per se. Cirrhosis, drunken driving, suicide, reckless behaviors, yeah, but not alcohol in and of itself. Perhaps this page could use a little clarification. "Alcoholism", really? How did he really die?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.200.29.19 (talk) 23:33, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  extra info that may or may not go into the main article 

message: "The recent autobiography "Counselor" by Ted Sorensen, who served as special counsel to President Kennedy, revealed O'Donnell's role in polarizing the JFK staff into the professional"politicians" and the academicians (such as Sorenson and Arthur Schlesinger). His antipathy to Sorensen ran so deep that in 1976/77 he worked to derail Sorenson's nomination as Director of Central Intelligence for Jimmy Carter." 
This could likely just be removed, or at the very least reworded.  Its written in such a way that it seems to me that it belongs more on Sorensen's page than here. 
Further, the section about O'Donnell's death seems to me to be speculation more than anything else. Thoughts? Dphilp75 (talk) 02:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Delay pedal

message: I don't see why having a separate page for a different piece of equipment could be a bad thing. [unsigned]
Merge. the two articles cover the same topic. "delay pedal" or "delay (audio effect)" are probably better titles than either of the existing ones though. if no one objects, i'm going to merge them both in and substantially rewrite. --G0zer 07:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It would appear the venue has been rebranded in October 2020. This should be reflected in the article, but more thought needs to go into it than simply replacing some instances of 'Pepsi Center' with the new name. I'm adding mention of the new name, but let's discuss here before making wider changes. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:47, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Canadian Music Hall of Fame

message: I have just scanned the complete list of inductees into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and I am surprised at some of the omissions, and even more surprised that the past several years have been solely dedicated to the pop industry.
Surely this institution should reflect the complete range of Canadian music from classical to pop/rock, yet the preponderance of inductees certainly does not reflect this.
Some notable omissions -- Robert Farnon, considered the leading arranger/composer of light orchestral music in the world; Ed Bickert, the jazz guitarist who stands among the 5 greatest jazz guitarists of all time; Howard Cable, the arranger/composer/conductor who has championed the Canadian heritage through his compositions and arrangements for over 60 years and is still in great demand to guest conduct symphony orhcestras with his own compositions and arrangements; Peter Appleyard, the jazz vibraphonist who played with the Benny Goodman Quartet and is considered on a par with Lionel Hampton and the other famous vibes players of all time.
Pop/Rock and Anne Murray have a place indeed, but there is much more to musical fame than contemporary (and temporary) commercial success. Ronnie Hawkins? You've got to be kidding.
-Harry Currie
:I think you'd have better luck if you voiced your concerns to the Hall of Fame itself.  This is an encyclopedia, not a message board (see WP:TALK and WP:NOT).--Lairor (talk) 18:51, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Toyota Center

message: Is every event that takes place at the Toyota Center going to be listed in this article? This seems unnecessary and not the least bit encyclopedic. --AntarcticFox (talk) 15:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm inclined to agree with you, unless its an event that is of particularly notable in someway that could be referenced/stated in that performers/event article.   Like for example, the injury of that Mexican singer at the toyota center (the name escapes me), The Latin Grammy's, or something along those lines.  I originally came on to talk about this very subject and pondered that when the grammy's come whether or not it should have its own section within the article. --Hourick (talk) 16:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Unless I hear from anyone else, I'm going to start deleting the non-notable events that are listed.

message: I don't think merging this article with the national one is necessary.  Readers of the national article who want the Columbus info can find it by following the link.  I think it would be better if people from other cities would write articles about the events in their areas.  All the articles could be grouped together through links from the national article, or perhaps by a list.

Talk:USS Glendale

message: How many ships after World War II were sold or given from the US to the USSR?  (And back?)  Some context would be useful in the article; it's rather surprising without context.  Tempshill 22:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Lots of ships were leased to the USSR immediately following WWII.  This is largely because very near the end of the war the USSR declared war on Japan, however they had relatively few ships at the time.  28 Tacoma class frigates were loaned to the USSR, but I'm sure that others were also loaned from other classes.  The fact of the matter is that the US was not yet at war with the USSR, and frankly the US Navy had a significant surplus of ships already built for a war that was now over. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 18:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: US -> USSR

message: "USS Glendale (PF-36), a Tacoma-class frigate, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Glendale, California."
Does this mean there were many airships named for other U.S. cities--a dozen Los Angeles? Six Pennsylvanias. Eight New Yorks? Fifteen Chicagos? Why not simply say it was named after Glendale, CA?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.180.44.133 (talk) 23:58, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Category talk:Fictional dinosaurs

message: Bulbasaur isn't a dinosaur, it's a dicynodont which is more close to mammals than archosaurs. Not every animal with "saur" or "saurus" in its name is a dinosaur.

message: The inclusion of Aachenosaurus and Succinodon in this category is rather dubious because they aren't invalid outright just because they were mis-identified as dinosaurs and were later shown to be non-dinosaurian fossils. 68.4.28.33 (talk) 01:01, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Autocatalytic set

Dittrich 22:24, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Lincoln and Joyce (2009), "Self-sustained Replication of an RNA Enzyme," is an extremely important empirical result. It goes a long way to establish that the origin of life and the subsequent emergence of greater complexity might be explained in terms of autocatalytic sets. I believe that the article should have a section on the study, and that it should be close to the beginning. I'm going to leave the writing to someone else, and dump a couple (hopefully useful) remarks here.
PZ Myers made some nice observations about the article on his blog:
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2009/01/chemical_replicators.php
It happens that I spoke briefly with the Nobelist Tom Cech about the article. His problem with it (and other OOL studies) is that "pure ingredients" (coming from the laboratory supply house) are used to make the prebiotic "soup." I think it would be good, in order to maintain a balanced perspective, to locate an article or a reputable science blog making this point. ThomHImself (talk) 02:43, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Signs of Life (Steven Curtis Chapman album)

Talk:Ikedaya incident

message: 1. The Shinsengumi did NOT have 10 units until 1865, a year after the Ikedaya Affair.
2. While there are a few theories in regard of Yoshida's death, he was definitely NOT killed by Okita. (Nevertheless, Yoshida was likely injured by Okita during the incident.)
3. Rurouni Kenshin's Kyoto Arc does NOT begin with a very brief battle at the Ikedaya.  Kenshin does NOT have the complete cross-shape scar till Dec (lunar calendar), 1864 and the name of the inn IS listed in the anime.  (Eventhough I could not read that, I could read "Ikedaya.") One could also get several clues from the conversation at the inn.

Talk:Arizona's 8th congressional district

message: Before I edited this page tonight, the History section seemed very anti-Native American.  So i moderated that a bit. Even if one is very reactionary, pro-european colonization, whatever....it would be unfair to compare Native Americans in the area to "European robber barons" which is what the page said before tonight.

Talk:Skywarp

message: On the website transformersthemovie.com, it says that the animation in the film shows the Insecticon Bombshell being reformatted as Cyclonus, not Skywarp, and that Skywarp was turned into a Cyclonus-like minion. Aranhamo 22:36, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Animated Appearance 

message: I believe it could be argued that Skywarp is probably the second most loyal Decepticon to Megatron, the first being Soundwave. And if not, then the third, to Shockwave. The justification is that while he was the very first Decepticon to be resurrected, he wasted no time in raising Megatron. Whenever Starscream screwed up, Skywarp was usually the seeker that Megatron relied on. Whenever Skywarp made a request to Megatron, it was granted. Finally, in the 1986 movie, Skywarp became Cyclonis, Galvatron's loyal retainer. This is only true of the animation quality was as it seemed. --MrDopple 02:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: In the early days of radio when only morse was transmitted by on/off transmission, a receiver needed to be only a detector of electromagnetic radiation. Later, more advanced ways of modulating in a transmitter were introduced, such as AM and FM for transmitting voice, so receivers then needed to incorporate a corresponding type of demodulator. The term "detector" is still seen used for circuits that actually do more than just detect, for the historical reason given.Cuddlyable3 07:18, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:California Split

message: These two sections were taken verbatim from imdb, the first from the trivia, the second from a thread.
(1) The original ending actually spilled outside the casino. Bill leaves Charlie and hails a cab when Charlie suddenly comes out and decides to go with him so as to prove that he too can walk away from gambling. However, a couple of people climb out of the cab and ask Charlie how the action is; he is drawn right back in and Bill leaves alone.
(2) Sony/Columbia released Altman's film on DVD in 2005 but due to music rights problems they had to remove almost three minutes of footage and make several soundtrack alterations. These include:
*A 32-second shot of Bill scat singing while Charlie informs him that "I love to play poker with those redneck fish. Y'now, who think they're Nick the Greek. Love to get 'em steamed. Easy to beat. Suckers."
*A scene showing Bill and Charlie at the racetrack that ends as Charlie says "Let's go see a man about a horse" and goes on for eight seconds longer as they walk off singing together.
*Bill singing "Happy Birthday to You" to Barbara (Prentis).
*As Bill enters the strip club where a poker game is taking place, the television shows a cartoon of Cheech and Chong's song "Basketball Jones".
*Two Phyllis Shotwell songs - "Goin' to Kansas City" and "Me and My Shadow" are played on the soundtrack during Bill and Charlie's journey to Reno and have now been replaced with an instrumental piece.
*A scene where Charlie walks away from a poker table while Phyllis Shotwell singing "You're Nobody 'til Somebody Loves You" plays on the soundtrack. This has been replaced with her rendition of "The Lonesome Road."
* A scene that showed Phyllis Shotwell behind a piano singing "Georgia On My Mind."
