Template talk:World cinema

message: I would argue that, as a region, the Middle East should be broken out from Asia; for one thing, with Egyptian cinema as prominent as it is, it makes no sense to include it in Asia (Egypt's not); equally, it makes little sense to separate Egyptian out from the rest of its regional counterparts (and the same will be true at the point at which Morocco, Tunisia, or Libya get their own article).  In the same way, Egyptian film has relatively little in common with African cinemas, and is much logically grouped with counterparts in Lebanon, Iran, the Gulf, etc.  A strong case can be made that Middle Eastern films are distinct from Asian ones, in the same way, that the region is treated as a distinct political entity.  To be tied strictly to geography seems pedantic. In the meantime, it seems odd to have Egypt under "Asia", and so I'm moving it Africa. Robertissimo 07:50, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we really need the “world” image in the header of this template? I find it unattractive, it has no purpose in relation to the template’s content, and I can’t remember having seen such an image on any other country list templates, so it’s not because it’s customary. –Fred Bradstadt 17:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This is a great discussion to be having. The clapperboards are useful images, but would also be too small if used in this context. If someone were to put the globe inside a clapperboard and then use that image in the header, the globe would be about the size of someone's eye pupil - too small. I tend to agree with the gist of Fred B.'s questions, that the image isn't really needed. — WiseKwai 10:24, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

When he died without a son, his estates were bequeathed to his great-nephew Sir Gregory Turner who incorporated his name to create 'Page-Turner'. I have written a new page on Sir Gregory Page-Turner and will redirect from the existing one (wiki style is usually to omit the 'Sir' from the article name of the subject).

Talk:The Stories of John Cheever

message: I think adding a section for short summaries for each story would help the article. 
The Five-Forty-Eight is a short story that follows actions of Blake, whom is the main character. And his escape from a women following him through the streets of Manhattan. This woman's name is Miss Dent and was fired by the encouragement of Blake after they had a one night stand together. Eventually Miss Dent catches up with Blake on the Five-Forty-Eight train back to Shady-Hill. During this train ride back Miss Dent has a gun pushed into the side of Blake and threatens to kill him if he tries to escape. After getting to the last stop Miss Dent brings Blake to a freight house were she teaches Blake a lesson. After pushing Blake into the dirt, Miss Dent walks away and Blake continues his way home.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwperrotti (talk • contribs) 01:13, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Roadshow theatrical release

message: Gods and Generals, which released in 2003, had an intermission, so the statement about the 1996 Hamlet being the last (wide-release) movie with an intermission is incorrect. There are also numerous movies that are not wide-release Hollywood pictures which are intended to show with an intermission, such as most Bollywood movies produced even to this day.
The bit about Dreamgirls having a roadshow release without an intermission seems to be saying nothing more than that Dreamgirls played in limited release before going to wide release, which the article later notes is a common practice for many movies. I removed that paragraph accordingly. Randy Blackamoor 10:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  merge into Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands 

message: I read this article stub after reading the article Freedmen's Bureau and immediate wondered why it was on Wikipedia. I then looked at this talk page and a reasoning was that an editor from "Freedmen's Bureau" expressed a concern that this article confuses two bills. There was a momentary short circuit between my brain and fingers as to this reasoning as I tried to figure it out. 
There is an article on "Freedmen's Bureau and any bills that led to the creation of the Bureau would be part of the same. There is a history of both listed in the lead of that article but no history section. The only "puzzle" to be solved is why a merge has not occurred as there can not be an actual substantiated argument against it. Since the lead in Freedmen's Bureau is supposed to be a summary of what is contained in the article I will suggest a merging there and a needed history section that will certainly quell any concerns.

thread_title: Merge tag

message: Sorry, but I totally disagree with you.
While you are basically talking about communications, you are missing the point (no pun intended) in relation to who or what that communication is between.
One-to-one communication has always inferred communication between two people. 
We had a one-to-one conversation.
We spoke on the phone, one-to-one.
We exchanged one-to-one eMails.
Whereas, point-to-point infers non human or "people" communication or movement.
The train travels point-to-point between Sydney and Melbourne.
The communication is point-to-point between the nodes.
The message is sent point-to-point between devices.
Therefore I believe that the terms one-to-one and point-to-point are totally distinct and should definitely not be merged.
Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.173.234.109 (talk) 21:39, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Head register

message: I would like to suggest that this article be re-entitled head voice for several reasons. First, the term "head register" is not recognized as one of the four major vocal registers in speech pathology. Second, the term "head register" is controversial among vocal pedagogists as many voice professionals argue that "head voice" involves vocal resonation and not registration. The reason for this is entirely physiological. Registration deals with laryngeal function which the use of "head voice" is not related to at all. Head voice is a function of sympathetic resonance, for there is no direct physical contact between the head cavities and the vocal cords. I understand that there are those who do use the term head register, but it is not widely accepted or embraced. Head voice is much more common and not so controvercial. This change would also be in keeping with the main pages on vocal registration and vocal resonation.Nrswanson (talk) 02:07, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
