Talk:European Junior Chess Championship

Talk:Middle English Bible translations

message: The article says:
All translations of this time period were from Latin or French. Greek and Hebrew texts would become available with the development of the Johann Gutenberg's movable-type printing press which coincided with the development of Early Modern English, making English a literary language, and would lead to a great increase in the number of translations of the Bible in the Early Modern English era.
What's the link between invention of printing press and source languages? Jonah (talk) 16:46, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Epideme is right. The 20th century is hardly speaking Middle English. The remark quoted was probably put in to attack the belittling of the Vaticanus manuscript immediately above at the time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.112.41.10 (talk) 09:43, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Legacy 

message: The paragraph "Since the Wycliffe Bible conformed fully to Catholic teaching, it was rightly considered to be an unauthorized Roman Catholic version of the Vulgate text but with heretical preface and notes added. This slightly misleading view was held by many Catholic commentators, including Thomas More - and has continued to create confusion on the meaning of an authorised version of the  Bible and the purpose of authorising an  orthodox context for its translation." 
This is not NPOV (words such as "rightly", "slightly misleading"), uncited (who has this "great confusion"?) and is unclear (what is the "meaning .. and purpose of authorizing an orthodoc context for its translation"?
So I am trimming it of this material.  If someone can correct it to clarify, please revert and fix. Rick Jelliffe (talk) 10:00, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Move To ''The Brus'' 

message: The Bruce: W. M. MACKENZIE, M.A., F.S.A. (Scot.) LONDON ADAM AND CHARLES BLACK 1909
"The language of the Bruce is Northern English, the dialect spoken north of the Humber. Barbour himself calls it “Inglis” (Bk. IV. 253), and Scottish writers down to the sixteenth century do the same. The name “Scots” is therefore a term of pure convenience, signifying the English spoken within the political borders of Scotland, which continued to be an independent literary medium after the Northern English of England had ceased to be such, and had yielded place to the standard dialect of Chaucer and his successors. But the language of the Aberdeen Barbour is substantially that of the Yorkshire Richard Rolle."

Talk:Cut locus

message: This article seems to take "metric space" to mean a topological space for which lengths of curves are defined.  However, the standard definition is simply a set with a distance function -- i.e., a general metric space does not have enough structure to define the length of curves.  Maybe it's best to merge this article with the one on the cut locus for a Riemannian manifold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.43.129 (talk) 00:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I see this article is listed as "intermediate" level in importance.  The famous economist Sum Buddy Orother once said of the Law of Comparative Advantage that it "is the only part of classical economics that is not intuitively obvious to the intelligent common man."  That understates the case.  It is counter-intuitive because it says not that you must be better at something to specialize in it, you must be either more better or less worse than your counter-parties.  Even Grammarly gives this notion two red lines, objecting to the double comparatives.
 
With Donnie and his ignorant friends in command in Washington, this has all come to the fore, so it's important.  First rank important.
 
I see that Hecksher-Olin and a number of associated articles are so far only stubs, so I shall try to put in some time on them (and learn the Wiki ropes) over the next year.  Back in 1979~82, I was Moderator, i.e. censor or at least noise-suppressant, of Sci.talk.econ on the Usenet feed of the old Fidonet, so there are something like six to twenty-thousand professional economists out there, though dying fast, that was a generation ago, who know my name at least.  I'll try to get some of the better minds involved.
 
I'll also try to get in touch with other people who have been working around these topics: I will value your advice, tolerate your criticism :-) , and appreciate your teaching.

Talk:All Our Own Work

message: I have always considered this album and the 1991 rehash Sandy Denny and the Strawbs to be Strawbs albums despite the fact that they are credited to "Sandy Denny and the Strawbs". I suspect that this creditation was a marketing ploy at the time (1973) of the release of this album. I am also unaware that it was released in Denmark shortly after the recording. Strawbs website states that All Our Own Work was the first occasion that the recordings were released (in the wake of the success of "Part of the Union"). I suggest that the track listing of the later Sandy Denny and the Strawbs release be moved from here to its own article. Witchwooder 13:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, your statements are unsustainable.  Don't try to make "Who Knows Were The Time Goes" a Strawbs song (that seems what you are after). They were not involved in recording, performing or writing this song. Don't try to make Sandy Denny a member of The Strawbs. The original projected and always used title is "All Our Own Work" by "Sandy and The Strawbs" or "Sandy Denny and The Strawbs".

thread_title:  Sandy Denny Chronology 

message: Does anybody know why the album wasn't released in Denmark back in 1967? All sources I've read say that the initiative for recording it came from Sonet Records, who heard the band through a British DJ working in Denmark, not from the band. Why would Sonet go through the trouble of ferrying the band to Copenhagen all the way from the UK to record an album just to end up shelving it? I'm also confused about who owned the rights to these recordings: various sources state that Dave Cousins unsuccessfully tried to find a British publisher at the time, implying that he owned the recordings, but when they finally were released in 1973, it was the Danes who sold the tapes to Pickwick Records...?

Talk:Mad War

message: The map at the top of this page, despite depicting France only a decade before the Mad War, seems inappropriate for this topic. By 1485, both the Burgundian lands and the Angevin lands had returned or been incorporated into the Crown (or inherited by Marguerite of Burgundy). The map seems too inaccurate for this purpose. Is there a better map showing France in the mid- to late-1480s?  – Whaleyland (Talk • Contributions) 02:24, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Journalists inform and educate. It's quite unreal their was only one journalist listed. Remember that San Pedro is very near Metro Manila, where trimedia outfits are located. Secondly, news and views about San Pedro and its officials and residents have been and still are plenty. That one journalist listed here is dead but town and later city news are easily searchable and, using common sense, it's impossible that he was the only one who made the cut. I prefer that one Rene Alviar be included in the list as this San Pedro-based journalist's career spanned four decades and, thank God, he's still alive. Dcalviar2 (talk) 00:24, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Æthelweard (historian)

message: Wasn't it unusual for a man like Aethelweard to be literate - let alone literate in Latin?  Yet, the article makes no mention of his literacy being unusual.  Perhaps, it wasn't.  But my impression has always been that illiteracy was general amongst the population of Dark Age/Early Medieval Europe.  And that the nobility were no exception to that (excluding the ones destined for the church one assumes).
Be curious if anyone has anything to offer about this?
PainMan
:Given he was a member of the highest nobility with close familial and social links to the royal family, and with Latin being the language of the church and of  learning, it doesn't seem that surprising to me. Still, it is not whether we find it unusual that is important - the important question is whether any reliable source has found it so.  If you find such a comment in the scholarly literature, then we can consider including it, but not based on our own feelings about it. Agricolae (talk) 22:17, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
