Talk:Piece work

message: I agree that poorly-formed piece rate article should be either be deleted and redirected to piece work or merged into it (if anyone thinks there is something worth saving).  They are two sides of the same coin.  Piece work is differentiated from other sorts of work exclusively because it is paid at a piece rate, and piece rates are paid exclusively for piece work, and neither is so weighty a subject as to require an article separate from the other.

message: Identity Politics 
[As of December 23rd 2006]	"Global capitalism appears to be widening the gap between the North and South, and working to further marginalize women, ethnic or indigenous minorities, and the disabled in the so-called Third and Fourth Worlds."	Statistics suggest otherwise.  Global capitalism has been correlated with economic growth, a decrease in famine, an increase in life expectancy, and increased democritization. 
:the standford article says in the so-called Third and Fourth Worlds.. so any arguement about capitalism in general isn't really relevant.--naught101 10:57, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Greek translation 

message: The article seems to be suffering from citation overkill, particularly in the lede and sections like Effects and efficacy of mindfulness practice, which have three or four citations at the end of nearly every sentence. I would like to pair down the citations to no more than two per statement as that's more than enough, but would like input before I go doing that.
Further, the references section(s) at the bottom of the article are a mess. We have a notes section that is more like a quote-heavy reference section than true notes, a references section, and for some reason two additional sections, a printed sources section and a web sources section. Why not list the books and the web sources in with the references? The books are already listed in the references, but instead of just listing them directly in the references section, the reference itself is only a link to the book in another section, instead of just referencing the book directly. A reader shouldn't have to click a reference, find the highlighted reference to then click that referenced book to take them to yet another section just to find the actual reference. It's unnecessarily complicated and the delineation between online and offline sources is equally unnecessary. I would like to simplify the references themselves as well into a single unified references section for simplicity, as the current setup is doing no one any favors. I am aware of WP:CITEVAR so I would like to get a consensus for simplifying the references before taking any action. - Aoidh (talk) 22:41, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Ancestor

message: The statement that In the case of the Britannia Bridge this technology allowed a bridge with spans up to 460-feet (140-m) long to be constructed, when until then the longest wrought iron span had been 31 ft 6 inches (version) needs qualification re the structural type of bridge to which it applies.  --Una Smith (talk) 21:49, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The 31 ft 6 inch span reference must be the 1841 road bridge over the Pollock and Govan railroad by A. Thompson. This was this was the first wrought iron girder bridge. Significantly longer truss and arch bridges of iron were already in existence, although they were made of cast iron or a mixture of cast and wrought iron.  The important thing is that the tubular design in wrought iron allowed a substantial increase in length for railway bridges. I'll rewite this bit. Meters (talk) 20:18, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Much longer suspension bridges were already in use, using wrought iron chains. However, owing to their flexibility, suspension bridges can't be used for railways  (later suspension bridges, possibly including Chepstow within this, became more rigid and did see use for railways). Andy Dingley (talk) 21:42, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The first railway suspension bridge I am aware of was Samuel Brown's 1830 bridge over the Tees (281-foot span). It was far too flexible for railway use and piles had to be driven underneath the platform to support it. Even then it soon failed. John Roeblings's 825-foot span, 1855 Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge over the Niagara Gorge (between Canada and the US) is generally considered to be the world's first successful railway suspension bridge. Suspension bridges went on to become quite common in the US, long before in the UK. I don't know what you mean by your reference to the Chepstow bridge. Did you mean Brunel's 1852 Chepstow Railway Bridge? I don't consider that to be a suspension bridge. Meters (talk) 23:22, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the organization.  However, the article still seems pretty one sided - as though it came from Mrs Byrnes's own press release.  It could also use more citations than it has.
Btw, did she ever accept the 1998 White House appointment on consumer affairs, or did she go straight into her campaign seeking the nomination to run against Senator John Warner?'

message: Shouldn't something be mentioned about how the British had initially wanted to negotiate for an extension on the lease to the New Territories?  Kowloon and HK Island were technically British territory permanently, but seeing that New Territories was such an integrated part of HK, and how Kowloon and HK Island were indefensible against a possible Chinese invasion without New Territories as a buffer, the UK has no choice but to give up HK altogether.  Deng Xiaoping was at the negotiations himself and he adamant in reclaiming New Territories as Chinese territory.  Actually, more needs to be mentioned about the signing of the Sino-British Declaration altogether, and HKers' reactions to the negotation and the declaration.  That event was basically the most influential event in modern HK history.  Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 15:51, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

There are several possible solutions. A redirect to the DAB seems the best to me and to at least two previous editors  , so I think that's a rough consensus. 
But the situation with the previous redirect, and no explicit hatnote for the plural case, is not IMO one of the acceptable solutions. Andrewa (talk) 02:02, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Category talk:Blackface minstrel performers

message: I'm trying to figure out where to fit this category in on the categorization tree. The problem is that blackface minstrels did so much and that not everyone did the same things. My guess is that it should be made a subcategory of :Category:Actors (most of these folks were on stage, but some may have been in films of television), :Category:Comedians, :Category:Dancers, and :Category:Vocalists by style. The vast majority of minstrels acted, did comedy bits, sang, and danced, so this would fit. Individuals would have to be further categorized by musical instrument (most played one, but some may not have). This also leaves categorization by nationality undefined, though I wouldn't have a problem subcategorizing into :Category:American blackface minstrel performers, :Category:French blackface minstrel performers, and :Category:British blackface minstrel performers (the only three nationalities represented at the moment). Any comments? — BrianSmithson 15:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Categorization

message: A Black minstrel, such as Sam Lucas, Henry Hart, and many others, was an African-American minstrel, as distinquished from a white minstrel who blackened his/her face with burnt cork or other means.  I suggest a separate category called Black Minstrels.  (Also, isn't "Minstrel Performers" redundant?  Was there a minstrel who wasn't a performer - and even if there was, shouldn't he or she be included in one of the two categories?) Clark Kimberling 16:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Once there are enough articles on black minstrel performers, there might be justification for a separate category. I don't think we have enough articles to justify it at the moment, though. As for the title of this category, modern sources use several terms interchangeably: blackface performers, blackface minstrels, minstrels, blackface minstrel performers, etc. I don't think any one term is more appropriate than the other, and the current title is the least ambiguous to Wikipedia's larger audience in my opinion. Yes, you are right, someone who is in this category often belongs in other performance-related categories, such as :Category:Banjoists or :Category:Percussionists depending on their role in their minstrel ensemble. This category is part of :Category:Stage actors, :Category:Comedians, and :Category:Singers, as it is assumed that nearly all minstrel performers did these activities. — Brian (talk) 22:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
