Talk:Darlene Love

message: I really think Darlene Love is a reliable source on the question of whether Darlene Love ever worked with the Beach Boys.  Monicasdude 16:34, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Ah, where to start (Wiki-weary sigh):
* The most important point — Darlene Love often sang uncredited with Phil Spector's stable of singers — gets lost in this mishmash. That's the story here: in fact, Love had to sue Spector for royalties and at one point was so broke she was cleaning houses in Los Angeles until producer Kenny Laguna engineered her comeback. So hang the story on this hook, and the rest will flow from there.
* The second paragraph about the Blossoms needs to be reworked/edited/deleted/moved (your call).
* This article lacks sources. Yes, you know and I know Darlene Love, like many soul/R&B singers, started singing in her church choir. But ya gotta cite a source for this and every other claim. You could start by doing research on allmusic.com.
Y'know (another weary sigh), I just logged by 5,000th edit on Wikipedia, and it's discouraging how many entries are in less-than-stellar shape. So thanks to whomever started this article, but no thanks for not including sources. Kinkyturnip (talk) 03:53, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Please help improve this article 

message: The film Twenty Feet from Stardom incorrectly presents the Blossoms as having sung back-up vocals for Betty Everett's 1964 hit 'The Shoop Shoop Song (It's In His Kiss),' a song recorded in Chicago with the Opals on background vocals.  The Blossoms were an LA-based session group and they recorded the background vocals to Merry Clayton's original 1963 version entitled 'It's In His Kiss.'  It is also possible that the Blossoms may have contributed to Ramona King's competing version as well but they did not perform the background vocals to Betty Everett's hit version of the song.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.6.93 (talk) 05:10, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed merge with [[Eruthu Paar Kodi]]

message: I think you should quickly reverse the title change you recently made to Flag of Tamil Eelam. The article title has changed before (and been changed back) and there has been disucssion about that title change. ‎That means that you were required to consider any further title changes to be controversial: you cannot just change it to another title, you have to propose the change first, etc. You overlooked that rule when moving the Ahmet Ertegun article and the rule was explained to you after that, so you would not be able to plead ignorance. And of course any editor would be within their rights to reverse the title back to Flag of Tamil Eelam without discussion. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 21:43, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't do the move but I think the move was probably done to reflect the merger of Eruthu Paar Kodi to here. I don't have any opinion on the title myself, just wanted to note that I don't think it was unreasonable given the change. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 17:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:East Sarajevo

message: I think the list of municipalities is wrong. Ilidža, Stari Grad and Novo Sarajevo are all municipalities of the City of Sarajevo, part of the Sarajevo canton of the Muslim-Croat Federation. (See Sarajevo under Divisions of Sarajevo). Sokolac and Pale are both in the Republika Srpska. Istočno (or Srpsko) Sarajevo itself is a very small and run-down suburb of Sarajevo, just beyond the city boundary and just inside RS territory, although on Serbian maps of the region it appears as a major city next to Sarajevo. It isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that similar wishful thinking has led to the East Sarajevo authorities counting areas not actually controlled by them as municipalities of their city, so maybe in that case the article wouldn't technically be inaccurate. Can anyone shed some light on this? Mattwhiteski 17:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Wireless power transfer

message: I see no mention of any problems with wireless power transfer, except in the titles of references.  I also see no mention of alternatives, such as using solar panels and batteries to receive wireless power from the most powerful wireless transmitter in the solar system (the Sun :-). The article seems way too gung-ho; some down-to-earth comments about the challenges would greatly help. For example, an section which explicitly states why analog and digital wireless data transfer is so widespread, but wireless power is not would help. Sanpitch (talk) 22:08, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your feedback!  It really helps to improve the article.  Read the 3rd paragraph of the Overview section. Wireless (radio) communication is a lot easier than wireless power because a radio receiver only has to receive a tiny amount of the transmitted power to get the information (an FM radio can receive a station clearly with less than one picowatt, 10−12 watt, of the station's power absorbed by the antenna).  Receiving a significant percentage of the transmitted power is much harder because the radio waves spread out.  I agree that the article does not adequately explain this. --ChetvornoTALK 08:17, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

:If you want live noise-gating you will need expensive equipment -- but for post-processing, Audacity has built-in noise gating.  It works pretty well provided that you can get a sample of the background static that you want to remove.  A half-second silence (or crowd noise) is enough.

thread_title: Live noise-gating

message: The Audio Noise Reduction section is confusing. It refers to 'noise gates' as does the first section, but the device it refers to is different. The device it refers to functions as a 'multi-band noise gate'. A clear distinction needs to be made because a single band noise gate has clear limitations (it cannot remove static, hum, etc when the signal is present), whereas a 'multi-band noise gate' can do a much better job at removing noise even in the presence of signal. Thus, this section appears to contridict the first section. What is a better term for 'multi-band noise gates'? Can this section be put in a better context so that it fits with the first section better? Iain (talk) 07:35, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
