message: A good work is running on the french version in order to promote him so ... this page could be better! Otourly (talk) 17:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  See the french version! 

message: I think (hope) it is a mistake. I would find strange that no one would have noticed it before.
Well, We all agree here that Lugdunum was where is now Lyon, France, which is in south-western Europe (close to italy, about 100km from mediterranean areas, not north-western Europe at all.
:Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say "most important city in the northwest region of the roman empire". The point is that during that period there were no cities to the north or west of L that were larger or more important". alteripse (talk) 01:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: LUG can be related to Latin term "locus" ("place").

thread_title:  Latin origin for LUG 

message: The proposed etymology of Lugdunum as the "Divinity Lug's Mountain" seems speculative, as there is no evidence for the worship of the mainly Iberian god Lugus in Lugdunum or indeed in most of Gaul. And transforming a crow into a cock, the national symbol of modern France, sounds like wishful thinking. Can anyone offer a reference for all this? If not, should this passage be deleted or shortened?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.68.128 (talk) 11:53, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Positive organ

message: In both this article and the article on Portative organs the first sentence states that they are Medieval instruments, whereas the New Grove makes it clear that they are also contemporary terms
*"In current organ usage, strongly influenced by German terminology, a positive is (1) a movable organ as distinct from a Portative or portable organ, and (2) that manual of a larger organ that resembles (and perhaps historically originated in) such a smaller organ."
I would suggest a reformatting, first addressing current use, and then discussing them historically, perhaps also treating their historical function (fill in parts in choral pieces in the Renaissance, continuo in the Baroque, use in double organ pieces).Makemi 23:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

In recent years, however, the establishment has fallen into severe disrepair and has experienced rashes of gang violence and robbery.  Is this true?  I haven't been to Springfield Mall myself for over a year, but "severe disrepair" seems like hyperbole.  Can anyone attest to this?  Danspalding 00:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: my impression is that when you darn a sock, you do not really "weave" thread over the hole as a form of patch, but rather simply use stitches to draw the edges together and close the hole. Since socks are stretchy, this does not create a problem. But then my rather limited experience with darning may include non-standard techniques.Wschart (talk) 12:54, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sock darning 

message: Machine darning is cited to the Dictionary of Needlework - so far, so good. But here in the article there's a claim that machine darning is inferior to that done by hand, while the source makes no mention of inferiority at all. In fact the source author takes care to state that machine darning is bona fide darning and not an imitation. Anecdotally, I can confirm that machine darning is vastly superior to my own hand-work. :) So the sentence probably needs rewriting. TooManyFingers (talk) 19:07, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Star rating

message: It seems the four-star freezer rating system is only used by European manufacturers (but is very well adhered to by British retailers, and understood by British consumers). Australia has a six-star system which focuses (I think) on energy consumption rather than food freezing suitability. In the US there is no system.
How did this system evolve, in such a unified way (who controls it)?
Does the article need Fahrenheit equivalents (probably not, if only Americans use ºFs and they don't have a star system)?
JanesDaddy 23:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: The section on freezer ratings was previously merged (and now has been integrated into Refrigerator#Freezer ratings); the last remaining section on sunscreens was merged into Sunscreen#Measurements of Sunscreen Protection, thus the article can now become a redirect to Star (classification), the more comprehensive article on star ratings for hotels, restaurants, and entertainment media. --MCB 00:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: What documents support the supposed visit by Scamozzi to Poland in 1599? Could he have been able to do more than give a few suggestive sketches? Are there Scamozzi touches in Polish 17th-century buildings that did not appear in contemporary engravings? Until archives turned up in post-Communist Warsaw, in the Warsaw University Archive, no one had heard of the Dutch architect Tilman van Gameren (1632 – 1706), a pupil of Jacob van Campen, whose very Italian palaces and villas seem to be quite liberally scattered in Poland. Where did Stanislaus Herakliusz Lubomirski, Tilman's patron, find the Dutch architect? In Venice. In Poland, those designs would have been interpreted, not as Dutch, but as Italian, as the introduction by the director mentions in the EU museum professionals' association Codart's Courant 8 (on-line, as a pdf document: http:www.codart.nl/Downloads/Courants/courant8new.pdf ). There is an essay in that issue by Antoni Ziemba, "The Low Countries and Poland" that sketches the pan-European view of elite Polish culture: you'll want to read it. My own quite uninformed hunch would be that the earlier presence in Poland of such intermediary designers as Tilman, bringing Italianate idiom in their portfolios, together with the close-knit expatriate communities of Italian builders, stuccadori and other craftsmen also working in an Italian idiom, offer the real connection between Polish buildings and Scamozzi. For Zbarazh, shouldn't one say it was "designed in a post-Palladian Italian idiom similar to Scamozzi's by the Dutch architect van Peyen, 1626–31"? Wetman--05:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: What they're saying is, the bank will, in situations where the property owner has equity (i.e. the market value is greater than the amount owed), choose not to accept a deed in lieu and instead request or require the owner to proceed with a market sale.  This way, the bank avoids any accusations of impropriety because accepting the deed in lieu without getting the owner to at least attempt a market sale could be construed as taking advantage of an uninformed or distressed mortgagor.  Accepting a deed in lieu when the loan balance exceeds market value allows the bank to write off the remainder of the loan (which they keep reserves to do), and is cost effective because it avoids a foreclosure and its associated costs.  A foreclosure may cost the bank in the tens of thousands of dollars, especially after legal fees, costs of making the property "ready" for resale, and so on. Wyv 02:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
