Talk:The Great Wave off Kanagawa

message: Dutch landscape paintings have heavily influenced Hokusai works in the early 19th century. The great wave of Kanagawa, despite being considered as the primary representation of Japanese art for the general public, must be seen as an hybrid of Japanese and European artistic ideas. The fact is that the deep European perspective was unknown for Japanese artists, and not used before Hokusai, making the great wave the less Japanese of all Japanese masterpieces. Without the Dutch influence, Japanese art from the early 19th century to present would have been very different from what we know today (including manga).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A03F:6B8E:EE00:10F7:8322:5F3E:4BD4 (talk) 10:49, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

message: A few years ago, an article pointed out that Japanese art visually reads right to left, as with writing, while Western art reads left to right. Thus for a Western viewer to "see" what Japanese people and the artist wished to show, it makes sense to look at the image flipped. When this is done, the wave is much more threatening, the mountain more prominent, and crucially, the boats are easy to spot as about to be swamped (moving left to right, into the wave, rather that away from it). In short, it is a much more dramatic image, no longer just beautiful. I'll see if I can find the article, meantime see what I mean here:  Jim Killock (talk) 05:11, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Antilag 

message: The last sentence: "As technology evolves, network latencies are getting lower. When/If latencies get so low as to be unnoticeable, client side prediction will not serve a purpose anymore." is misleading.
Assuming that the foundations of physics don't crumble, information cannot be transmitted faster than the speed of light. When you calculate how long it takes for light to get around the Earth and then factor in human reaction speed you'll quickly see that client side prediction is going to be required for twitch based games forever. 
Even if in the far future we do find a way to transmit information faster than light, unless it's completely instantaneous we'll still need client side prediction for inter-planetary games that we'll likely want to play.
Agreed. One could easily say "As processing power evolves, processor speed increases to infinity" but that doesn't necessarily make it true (don't mention quantum, guys :P) --Gigitrix (talk) 20:26, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

When the money faded most or all would have remained at the bank, which would have notified all concerned that counterfeit technology had been perfected. The bank would simply exchange the blank counterfeit money for good money.

Obviously it stil should've been removed as it just repeated information, but there could be a history section that could begin with those same basic facts.

Talk:Baelo Claudia

message: I think this article should discuss garum more, the fermented fish product that was a major reason for the town's position and prosperity. Tunas and probably other fish were caught and fermented in large tanks (it must have stank!) in the lower parts of the town, well-shown by signs in the archeological site, and also in the Wikipedia article on garum. Garum was bottled into amphoras, and shipped around the Mediterranean, and had been, probably, since Phoenician times, long before the Roman settlement of Baelo Claudia. Because the tuna migration in the spring enters the Mediterranean via the narrow straits of Gibraltar, this region is the traditional tuna fishing area of Spain, and tuna almost certainly was a major component of garum, at least according to local authors (e.g. from Zahara de los Atunes). But I don't know enough about the history to add this, and I would like to have a more knowledgeable person edit this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eratosignis (talk • contribs) 00:42, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Andalusi classical music

message: Another theory on the origins of the Western solfège musical notation suggests that it may have also had Arabic origins. It has been argued that the solfège syllables (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti) may have been derived from the syllables of the Arabic solmization system Durr-i-Mufassal ("Separated Pearls") (dal, ra, mim, fa, sad, lam). This origin theory was first proposed by Meninski in his Thesaurus Linguarum Orientalum (1680) and then by Laborde in his Essai sur la Musique Ancienne et Moderne (1780).

Talk:Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge

message: Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge is home to an area (which will remain un-named out of respect for their judgement) of supreme sandstone... which is ideal for the more technical disciplines of rock climbing, however, technical and/or freestyle rock climbing have been banned from CONWR.  This is a huge blow to the climbing community - the stone in CONWR was among the most solid, and safest in the area. (it was a beginner-intermediate area) In addition - the impact of the climbers was FAR LESS than the impact of the guys who go and fish off the spillway, leaving beer cans and fishing lines all over.  In fact all the climbers I've been with have endeavored to clean up as they went along.  I personally have been harassed by officers in the CONWR for doing little more than walking those trails now.
Also of relevance here is the use of the CONWR in past decades - the heavy contamination, the cleanup efforts, and the corporations who currently operate within the boundaries and what they do.  i.e. General Dynamics.  Those operations and their authority and impact within the Refuge are huge.

Talk:Treaty of Madrid (13 January 1750)

message: According to this article
The Treaty of Madrid was a document signed by Ferdinand VI of Spain and John V of Portugal on January 13, 1750, concerning their empires and status of their territories in what is now Brazil.
Great Britain and the asiento are not mentioned.
However, according to War of Jenkins' Ear
The eventual diplomatic resolution formed part of the wider settlement of the War of the Austrian Succession by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. The issue of the Asiento was not mentioned in the treaty, and it had lessened in importance to both nations. The issue was finally settled by the 1750 Treaty of Madrid in which Britain agreed to renounce its claim to the Asiento in exchange for a payment of £100,000 and allowed British trade with Spanish America under favourable conditions.
Also, according to Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748)
The Asiento contract, which had been guaranteed to Great Britain in 1713 through the Treaty of Utrecht, was renewed. Spain later raised objections to the Asiento clauses, and the Treaty of Madrid, signed on 5 October 1750, stipulated that Great Britain surrendered her claims under those clauses in return for a sum of £100,000.
Both of the other articles link to this one.
So, was the treaty signed between Spain, Portugal and Britain? Or is it that there were two completely different Treaties of Madrid in 1750 (in which case there should be a disambiguation)?
