Talk:Marguerite Piazza

message: I believe the year of birth, 1926, to be incorrect, and I have several times placed [?] behind it, only to have it removed. "Find-a-Grave" lists the date of Miss Piazza's father's death as 1923. The soprano, in her autobiography, writes that her father died when she was "only four." Also, Loyola University gives the date of her graduation there as 1940. If she was born in 1926, she would have been fourteen at the time. Impossible! 1919 would seem about right, making her twenty-one at the time of graduation. Additionally, she was Queen of the Krewe of Virgilians in 1935, and the photographs (vide page 80, Italians in New Orleans (2004) show a beautiful young woman, hardly a nine-year-old.

Talk:Rubén Domínguez (tenor)

message: I'm doing POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved. Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 20:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I declined the speedy deletion of Christopher Chubb because he's a literary character not a real person. But I'm not convinced of notability as this article doesn't name that character so I redirected it here.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I've changed some words that seemed more suited to an old martyrology for the faithful than to a current secular encyclopedia, e.g.: 'native'/‘Indians’ to 'Kumeyaay', 'howling band of natives' to 'band of warriors', 'pulverized' to 'smashed', 'mangled body' to 'body', ‘resolutely walked’ to ‘walked’, ‘lie in repose’ to ‘lie’.
I've also added a sentence about the context of Kumeyaay resentment. I haven't myself read the original source for this - Young and Levick's The Missions of California - but took it from the Wikipedia page for Mission San Diego de Alcalá. Hope that's okay, policy-wise?
My aim was to lessen the effect of portraying noble and saintly monks facing an irrational mob of savages. If anyone thinks I've gone too far, please feel free to make changes.

Talk:North Sheen railway station

message: The following text:
The station is a key transport hub, serving the Sheen area between Mortlake and Richmond stations on the South West Trains over-land rail service, and is the main stop-off point for commuters to the newly refurbished Richmond International Business Centre at Argyle House. It has also seen a boost in passenger numbers with the recent completion of the nearby spacious and much-admired 'Railway Cottages' development.
Until recently, the station was also a popular destination for art lovers, who would travel from far and wide to see the famous Angel of the North Sheen sculpture (an homage to the more famous Angel of the North) in the allotments adjacent to the platform. The sculpture was best viewed from an off-side window seat on the stopping service from Mortlake to Richmond, but unfortunately is no longer in situ. It is not clear whether the sculpture has been removed for good, or is merely on temporary loan to an affiliate gallery/allotment.
is all incorrect or comic exaggeration and has obviously been added as a 'joke'. Remove?

message: Article reverted. Latest nonsense was: 
"The station serves the more exclusive western end of Richmond. Its name is somewhat misleading as it is a considerable distance from Sheen itself (which is served by Mortlake) and and only a short walk to Richmond station on the South West Trains over-land rail service."  where "exclusive"=POV, "western"=error of fact (tho I cannot give a reference), "somewhat"=POV. "and and"=weird usage, "short walk"=POV+error of fact, and "over-land"=misleading as "Overland" now has specific meaning for London railways.

Prieberg gives very exact references: according to the files of the "Reichskulturkammer" (held in the German Bundesarchiv in Berlin) Janssen became member of the Nazi Party on 1st of March 1937, his membership number was 3.912.155. Janssen's membership was cancelled in 1938 because he had left Germany.
Another source Prieberg cites (Bundesarchiv R 55/ 20460. Blatt 167) says the reason why Janssen has to leave Germany was section (§) 175, that means he was accused of homosexuality.

Talk:St Margarets railway station (London)

message: Do as you please, that's the WP rule, but in the matter of the name of this station and what its article should be.
* The ATOC London Connections map lists the station as "St. Margarets (Greater London)" to which it was renamed. The latest rename back to "St Margarets (London)" is based on the unsourced statement that it is "known by both names, but this more commonly". It is to be doubted if one user in a thousand ever refers to the station with an added geographical locator.
   
* The most likely expression used for it (and for hundreds of similar structures) is "The station". Last time I had to go just short of Ware I asked for a ticket to "The other St. Margarets, not the one just down the line". WP should show what things are, not what "They" think they are. Several ?illion people think X made the universe with rule set A to be obeyed, another ?illion think it was Y with rule set B and so on and on, not one of which mutaully exclusive thoughts need be correct.--SilasW (talk) 09:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: i have removed the following text from :Category:Psychological anthropologists:
Psychological anthropology is a highly interdiscplinary field that studies the interaction of culture and mental processes. In particular, psychological anthropologists tend to focus on ways in which humans' development and enculturation within a particular cultural group, with its own history, language, practices, and conceptual categories, shape processes of human cognition, emotion, perception, motivation, and mental health. Psychological anthropologists tend to differ from social psychologists in that the latter are more concerned with general features of human interaction within social groups, rather than the historically and culturally specific effects of being socialized within a particular group; they differ from cultural psychologists  in generally being more concerned with elucidating cultural models and in looking at effects in daily life, rather than specifically cognitive differences detectable in laboratory situations. These differences are often more in emphasis than strict distinctions.

on the creation of "Mississippi Queen"...
"Mississippi Queen was written by Corky Laing and David Rea in a rehearsal studio NYC 10th Ave &36 th St. circa 1969. Corky asked me if I knew any towns in Mississippi and I mentioned Vicksburg. When we worked on it, Corky said he had put the concept forward to Felix and Leslie and they refused it. Corky took our version to Leslie and Felix ...after a few minor lyric changes and Leslie adding the signature lick, that was the way the song came about".

Maybe I am an ignorant person, but the meaning of the word en villéggiature is unknown to me. Never mind. - Much worse is however that the "Schloss Totis" was not the Viennese residence of Count Esterhazy, since it is/was located about 70 km. northwest of Budapest. In 1888 the count built a small theatre (200 seats) in which he gave private opera and operetta performances. (Gustav Mahler visited it in November 1889). The theater was demolished in 1913.
Incidentally, the reference to Count Nicholas Esterházy is incorrect too:
The correct name should be Count Miklós (Nicolaus Paul) Pál Count Esterházy de Galántha (1839-1897). (Also to be found on Wikipedia).
