Talk:Paloma Blanca

message: Regarding the claim that Jonathan King won an Ivor Novello Award in 1975 for "Una Paloma Blanca", see this thread from Talk:Jonathan King. It seems the claim is untrue. DeCausa (talk) 22:10, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: King's version of the song would fail the eligibility criteria for the 2014 awards, which are here and clearly state that a songwriting credit must be involved to qualify (page 4). This does not help with 1975, but since their inception, the Ivor Novello Awards have been about songwriting, not performance. The sole credited songwriter of Paloma Blanca is George Baker (musician).--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:15, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Clan Line

message: The list of Clan Line ships needs expanding. I have added in the names of all 'Clan' vessels from the late 19th century. However the entry as I found it consisted of the names of six ships and references to individual articles. These articles are all badly entitled, as they fail to take accound of the fact that ships' names are re-used; the six names for which 'Clan' articles are written, for example, were each used several times and the title should include the launch year for the ships actually discussed.

thread_title:  Phil Taylor left? 

message: I came to this article hoping to find out about the lyrics to this song, but was disappointed.  Specifically, how and when did the lyrics change, and who changed them.  Originally, the lyric was "See Marky kick some ass."  Now, the lyrics are, I'm sad to say, "...Marky takes it up the ass."  I doubt it was Lemmie who changed them.  I suspect Johnny, who was famous for being a bullying the other band members.  How does Mark feel about this?  To me, it ruins the song.  Everyone knows Mark isn't gay, (not that there's anything wrong with that).  Are the original lyrics still used in modern covers, or are they all passing on this slur against Mark Bell?

Talk:Gordon House (Silverton, Oregon)

message: It is stated in the article that "It is the second and last of the series designed for working-class U.S. consumers, ...", and the "second and last" statement appears in the source given.  But there are many (hundreds, i think) Usonian Frank Lloyd Wright houses.  How can that be?  Is there an error in the source.  I wonder if this is the "second to last" Usonian house, instead. doncram (talk) 23:59, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I wondered about that too.  I've noticed ever since I included it that other Usonians I've come across say "Usonian-inspired".  —EncMstr (talk) 03:22, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Doncram that this phrase can't be correct.  There are over a hundred Usonian Houses actually designed by Wright himself, not merely inspired by him or them (Carla Lind tallies them at 140 in her book Usonian Houses).  There were many designed by Wright yet after he did the Gordons' (I'm looking at William Allin Storrer's Frank Lloyd Wright Companion).  I know the Lykes House in Phoenix was the last one actually built, so it's conceivable that the Gordon House was the second to last actually completed.  But I might recommend removing the phrase until someone can figure out what it actually means - maybe moving it to this talk page for now? Frankie Rae (talk) 00:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "second and last" 

message: First graf cites book by Bart King that a working class wage in 1939 was $5000-$6000.  Census bureau info says the median family wage/income in 1939 was about $1200.
https://www2.census.gov/prod2/decennial/documents/41272167ch7.pdf
Unclear if the source material is incorrect or if something got garbled in translation.
It's possible the article author meant to say that the cost of the house was to be between $5000-$6000, which would at least be in the ballpark of Usonian House cost targets.  
Similar:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_and_Katherine_Jacobs_First_House

Talk:Frankston Freeway

message: Who posted this rubbish that the Frankston Bypass will become M7? Its obvious that this claim has no valid proof as any changes to route numbering in metro Melbourne is still some time away. --Sk-4 (talk) 23:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The user is referring to the 'Frankston Bypass' which is clearly not the current Frankston Fwy/Mornington Peninsula Fwy. The 'Frankston Bypass' is the proposed freeway designed to link both sections of the MP Fwy, and as it is yet unbuilt, how can it already be given a route number? --122.107.178.246 (talk) 08:41, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

text: But when the M7 was around it was designed to go down the Moorooduc Hwy as opposed to the Frankston Bypass - I dare say the Bypass was not a concrete proposal (ie to be built) when the idea of the M7 was born. Furthermore, the piece of information regarding the Frankston Bypass route number is nothing more than just pure speculation at this point in time, therefore if it was/is added to the article, it should be pointed out clearly that it is speculation as VicRoads has not come out publicly declaring that the bypass is the M7/11. --122.107.178.246 (talk) 23:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:ACM Software System Award

message: I started this page using text removed from the software system page. The text I moved largely consisted of a quote, which caused it to get flagged by the CorenSearchBot. So I attempted to convert the quote to a proper cited quote, using the award description on the Nobel Prize page as a model.
-- User_talk:Nealcardwell
I think this award is significant. There are at least 35 pages at Wikipedia that mention this award -
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22software+system+award%22+site%3Awikipedia.org - and furthermore the recipient projects are all major accomplishments in the field of computer science or the computer software industry. Most of the individuals that are involved already have wikipedia articles, further indicating the importance of these accomplishments.
:Hi, Nealcardwell!  Currently there's a "prod" on the article.  Take a look at WP:PROD to see what that's about.  Basically, you have two options - leave it alone or remove it.  If you remove it, someone may send the article to "Articles for Deletion" to discuss the article's notability and such.  They're going to look for stated notability - why the article should stay on Wikipedia.  Your best bet is to find reliable sources that talk about the award and why it's important.
:If you leave the tag alone, without improving the article, someone may just speedily delete it.
:Either way, the  tag now does nothing and shouldn't be put on the article.

Talk:Cam timer

message: "They are gradually being superseded by microprocessor-controlled systems, where greater versatility and feedback is much easier to obtain."
Obtaining feedback is a process independant of the controller, iow its equally easy to obtain with either type of controller. The controller responding to that feedback dynamically is where the difference lies.
"For example, a typical cam timer continues to rotate regardless,"
Not so. Washing machine cam controllers tend to stop and wait for the thermostat to trigger moving on again, and its common for cam controllers to have a fast forward mode as well, in which they progress at many times the speed.
"so if there is a situation that requires a variable amount of time (for example waiting for a tank of water to heat up to a preset temperature), the cam timer is less than ideal,"
popular WM cam controllers have handled this as standard for many decades.
"though it is possible to make the cam motor itself subject to control, as most washing machine designs do."
"While still fairly popular, cam timers are mechanical and hence subject to wear and reliability problems. Purely electronic systems have largely replaced them for most applications."
These weaknesses do exist (as there are weaknesses for electronic controllers too), but their reliability record remains very good, and this isnt why theyre being phased out in favour of electronic control.
Their weakpoint is more the greater degree of flexibility that cpu based controllers provide. As well as offering more wash program variations, a cpu based WM controller can automatically initiate test cycles, reducing mfr costs, and provide fault codes in the field, again reducing repair costs and providing feedback on real world failure rates and causes. All of these reduce manufacture and business costs.

Hypnoticmonkey (talk) 01:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That actually might not be accurate anymore, especially if the degree is honourary (which involves no subordination whatsoever), because of the now well-established constitutional distinction between the person of the sovereign and the crown as an abstract concept (viz. the same personal sovereign being coextensive with 32 separate and distinct national, state and provincial crowns - as the Queen in Right of Canada, the Queen in Right of Ontario, the Queen in Right of Jamaica, the Queen in Right of New South Wales, etc.).  The idea that the monarch cannot accept degrees for the reason cited is, however, an excellent excuse to relieve him/her from causing offence by having to choose between the innumerable honourary degrees that s/he would be offered but for the fact s/he theoretically cannot accept them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.162.218.153 (talk) 10:42, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
