The [] focussed unbearable much on chess.
Hence I recycled my thoughts of a reply to Tim Krabbé's article (I believe somwhere on ), which was unecessary denigrating to Go.
Insinuating that Go players would claim that Go is the better game, using a false argument, proving it false the article tried to score a cheap point: 
giving some piece of decades-old Dutch chess- and Go-history where the earliest Dutch Go players where beaten in Go by the (non-convert) chess playes. Fact, alright, may be ... he concluded from this little anecdote that Go cannot be such a deep game (I write now from memory and hope I do not the reciproke unjustice to Tim; the whole story was on the Dutch mailinglist). My conclusions were rather that Go and Chess are both full-information games without chance and as such quite related, therefore they also would attract the same/similar people to play it.  
Hence, the anecdote would rather (only?) prove that good chess players can be good Go players (if they want to: world champion Emanuel Lasker (1d?), late Jürgen Dueball (4dan Go, chess SG Solingen,  Bundesliga Germany, ELO 2455,  , German top in Bridge) etc., father Fritz and grandfather Felix wrote Go history in Germany, all playing Go, chess and Bridge)). It depends on the persons who are so much interested in thinking sports; the beauty of it is in the eye of the beholder and the depth ... can be measured in ELO difference from beginner to top.
By chance having just read books from László Mérõ (where he gives this ideaof using ELO to determine depths of sports, I thought I'd add it to the site.

message: This article states that Saira Banu's maternal grandmother was a "concubine", but her mother Naseem Banu's article identifies her mother as "a famous and well-earning singer"; the two don't seem to correlate. Given her father's status as a Nawab, I suppose it might be that she was HIS concubine, rather than wife, but this isn't clear. It's perhaps worth observing that the statements in Naseem Banu's article cite sources whereas those in this article don't (in fact, there's a lot of genealogical stuff not sourced here).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.78.132 (talk) 11:58, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

message: This is a note to Kyprios as I suspect you guys check your page here every once in a while.  I've seen in the media where you say that your named means "Lord" in Greek.  NO, it doesn't - it means someone from Cyprus, and/or a devotee of the goddess Aphrodite, who was known as "the Cyprian" because she was born from the sea onto the beaches of Cyprus.  Not a bad thing, that devotee of Aphrodite thing, should go over well with the chicks, but greek for "lord" is kyrios, as in the part of the Catholic/Orthodox mass that goes kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy).Skookum1 21:02, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Fixative

message: I disagree with the proposed split.  There are general principles of chemistry shared by the various application branches.  Despite the fact that this article presently fails to tackle the unifying principles, ultimately that content belongs here.  I just stubbed the fixatives section into Cellular pathology from horrendously bad notes dropped into the main text by a neophyte nobody (first edit, anon IP).  
You can already see some of the outlines of the broader conceptual categories: coagulents, protein denaturing agents, oxidising agents, etc. at least within the field of biochemistry. 
It's possible that the main areas presently covered have no unifying context, but to me it all looks like variations on applied chemistry.  MaxEnt 02:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As it stands with the main categories of Drawing, Biology, Embalming, and Perfumery, I think it is a little confusing.  Those topics seem to be all over the place and barely related to each other.  Having a fixative (drawing), fixative (biology), etc would clarify that.  Either that or this article needs to be restructured.  Additionally, it is very difficult to stub-sort since those main topics are so different.  Amalas =^_^= 16:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Symphonia Domestica

message: Saxophones or Saxhorns?
Most of the information I've seen about this piece mentions its use of saxophones.  What information do we have to contradict this?
Clearly saxhorns.  The autograph score is only marked Sax (not saxophone), hence the confusion, but the parts themselves are too low to fit into the comfortable range of the saxophone, but perfect for Saxhorns.  Historically, the saxophone was not present in Germany during the time of composition of this work, but the saxhorn was used in German military bands. 
There are quite a few published sources which treat this issue and it seems quite clear among Strauss scholars that the so-called saxophone parts are indeed for Saxhorn.  I'll have to dig a bit, but it seems that only saxophonists think that these parts are really for saxophone. Gretab 20:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've reverted the move to Domestic Symphony.  This was listed in the "Uncontroversial requests" section of Requested Moves (), then moved less than a day later.

message: The picture is most probably not Himansu Rai's portait but Najmul Hasan's (also known as Najam-ul-Hasan, Najmul Hussein or Najmal, among others). It's a cropped version of a Jawani Ki Hawa (1935) movie still. The entire picture can be seen here. Most of the movie takes place in a train, and we can even see that the two characters (Devika Rania and Najmul Hasan) are at a wagon window.
The only movie where Devika Rani and Himansu Rai shared the screen is Karma (1933). And this picture does not come from this movie which is currently available on Youtube.
This picture is used in several versions of this article on Wikipedia (german, hindi etc.) so changing it would have a global impact. MelAntipam (talk) 22:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

When someone points it out, then it should be included. Until it is posted on the site somewhere, it should not be edited to $700k yet.

Talk:Bolide

message: The intrepretation of the structure sensed at Wilkes Land as a crater is too new and too controversial to flatly state that it is an impact crater and therefore relegates Vredefort to second place.  That may well turn out to be the case, but it's just too early.  From Nature.com:
: "It could be the biggest impact ever found on Earth," says von Frese.
: 
: "It's possible, but it's not the interpretation that would top your list," says Ian Dalziel, a geologist at the University of Texas at Austin. The region of dense rock is certainly circular, he says, but it could easily be volcanic rock that had welled up during normal geological activity: "You can find a lot of gravity anomalies like this." The roughly circular feature thought to be the rim of the crater may just be part of the normal variation in terrain in the area, he adds.
