Talk:Marino Faliero (opera)

message: How to merge 2 articles on the same subject? See Marin Faliero  Orbicle 17:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 2006

message: It is nice that an editor or some editors like this rather obscure opera enough to go to all the trouble of putting so much effort into this article but WP needs references for material put into articles and we don't add our personal opinions. There are long quotes from contemporary reviews with no references - how can a reader trust this material without any way to WP:VERIFY it? Then a long long section of seemingly every premiere it had, again entirely without references. That should really all be removed. Then the performance history stops at 2002 but I feel sure there must have been performances since then. It is not encyclopedic to say things such as  Perhaps too many critics like Donizetti in a box, as if all his operas must operate in the same way, as if all must compete with Lucia di Lammermoor unless it is a direct quote from a cited authority. WP editors' personal opinions do not belong in articles. Same with Curiously, writers have accorded Leonora---despite lacking Lucia-like preeminence---an acceptance denied Elena. It is noteworthy that Violetta's Amami, Alfredo is clearly quoted from the opening of Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei - does not belong in this article at all, it is not discussing Traviata or Pia de Tolomei and is again unreferenced. I am taking that out right now but I will give editors a few days   to add references to the material that lacks them before removing it. The synopsis has a strange format with the names of the arias and other musical numbers in bold and too much untranslated Italian from the libretto - “Una maschera ardita / Ogni mio passo spia, m'incalza ed osa ardita...”  “Ove son? - Chi piange qui?.... / Mio nipote ov'è? Morì? / Voi chi siete? - Che piangete? / Ma Fernando ov'è?" etc. This article really needs to be completely re-written.Smeat75 (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:List of U-boats never deployed

message: I am preparing this page as a place to list U-boats whose short exisitance does not warrant a page of their own. Boats which served a war patrol, were sunk in action, served an interesting role post-war or had anything exceptional about them should have their own page and be listed at List of U-boats. For those whose articles will only ever be stubs, this is the place for them to come. U-boats shold be recoreded in numerical order, and the actual page for the boat listed here should redirect here. --Jackyd101 10:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Chemins de fer du Nord

message: I propose to merge Réseau Nord into this article. "Réseau Nord" doesn't exist, other than a collection of railway lines departing from the Gare du Nord. The content of Réseau Nord is currently a history of two of the oldest railway lines in France, opened by the Chemin de Fer du Nord.

Talk:Poliuto

message: I have moved this article back to its original title, Poliuto. It had recently been moved to Poliuto (Les Martyrs). Many operas have alternative titles depending on when/where they were performed. This information is reflected in the article itself and the re-directs to it. The title used for an article is the one most used by the major reference works, e.g. New Grove Dictionary of Opera. Parenthetical additions are only used to disambiguate, e.g. Otello (Rossini) vs Otello or  Macbeth (opera) vs Macbeth.   Voceditenore (talk) 06:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Having recently expanded the Les martyrs section of this article, it became clear that there are huge differences between the two versions of the opera, the former being in French and a grand opera with significant changes - and major expansion - in the plot.  Therefore, it appears to need its own article, and I have uploaded one today. Viva-Verdi (talk) 20:33, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Rita (opera)

message: I have removed the following addition:
:In Australia the ABC (radio) in Western Australia made a marvelous Ausie take on this situation.   Would have been 2006-2010 period, and Rita was well enjoyed with concert performances in the ABC studios in Perth.  Translated into the outback Australia, the situation was contemporary and recognized for the attitudes of the time.    Details of the performances will have to come from the ABC archives.  The human perspective in this translation could have not been more accurate.
Apart from the entirely inappropriate expression of personal opinion, there is no supporting reference to even verify this production. Voceditenore (talk) 15:11, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Physical attractiveness stereotype

message: I find this title quite substantial, the term of phrase is ethically correct through the conjunction of the psychological and physiological point of view. And should either stay the same or be changed to a more ethical text. Another title could be “whether physically attractive people hold all of the best traits” 
The description however is very good in describing the bias against people who look a certain way can now be judged in the society point of view in having the worst characteristics. This though can be incorrect and can have the opposite effect on the survey of people you a generalising. 
So in all I see this document as a good piece of descriptive psychological language and can be used but has many theoretical can ethic issues in correlations that need looking at before a distinctive answer is conveyed before a psychological board.

Talk:Maître d'hôtel

message: It doesn't mean 'master of the hotel', literally. Hotel has several meanings in French, Maitre d' is closer to 'master of the household'/staff - ie, the Butler, most senior servant.

thread_title:  Literal meaning 

message: What is the correct way of pronouncing maître d'? PhS 11:25, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea... For someone knowing just a little French, it looks absurd since "d'" allways precedes a vowel or mute 'h'. The apostrophe just indicates that the 'e' in 'de' is not pronounced since theres a vowel in the next word. The full term "Maître d' Hôtel" is pronounced some thing like [mɛːtʀ d otel] (Bit unsure about the wovels ). But without "Hôtel" it doesn't make sense, in french.. :) If I should guess the English pronounciation is "matered": [maitɘd] or [maitɚd], just a guess. Qvasi 14:09, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Using English pronunciation, it is pronounced as "may-ter-D", the whole thing being "may-ter-dotel". 209.6.243.42 02:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

text: In England anyway, one would say "maitre dee".  This is usually rendered as "maytruh dee"; use of a French 'r' would be a bit pretentious.

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: As the disgusting term "maître d'" is merely a shortened form of the proper term, it makes no sense to redirect from there. The shortened (and less correct) form should direct to the full term. It's unsurprising that the article gives no explanation for the half-baked shortening of the term, which I suspect is due simply to many people's difficulty in pronouncing French terms. It's ridiculous that so many people have to say "Dayja voo", "maitrer dee" or to write "cafe" simply because they don't know how to type é on their outdated keyboard. Owen214 (talk) 22:47, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought I should add that after looking at the only reference for this article, it refers to the role as "maitre d’hotel" and there is therefore no reference to justify the shortening of the term. Owen214 (talk) 02:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Mexico Trilogy

message: The trilogy was actually released as a box set. Take a look at Amazon's page for it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ASDFI6/qid=1152185686/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-1024056-7666441?n=507846&s=dvd&v=glance
I nought it today and it contains the SPECIAL EDITION version of El and Desperado and Once Upon A Time (since there was only one version of that ever released anyways).
Plus, the wiki page for Once Upon a Time in Mexico has information about how the trilogy actually doesn't fit well (ie: Moco and Bucho being the same guy despite Moco's death and the fact that they suddenly recognize eachother as being brothers) as well as actors being used again despite characters played in previous films being killed off.

message: I am the one who added the original paragraph (since removed by another editor) about base jumping from Frenchmans Cap. I did so in good faith. The (spectacular) photographs of people jumping are real and they do hang on the wall in the cafe at Derwent Bridge. When I asked about them at that place, Frenchmans Cap was cited as the location. But, as they say in the classics, it ain't necessarily so. I have since come to doubt that what I was told was correct. I am a geologist by profession and the geomorphology does not fit...

replies: text: It's because the second carriageway was built two decades after the first one. Initially the single-carriageway highway was just there to relieve traffic on the Anchieta highway. Then they decided to add a second one. I assume that by the time the second carriageway was built, tunnel construction technology had improved, allowing a different route for tunnels, which in turn resulted in the second carriageway coming out of the mountain at a different angle than the first. Or perhaps the steepness of the mountains didn't allow to build such wide roads side-by-side. Cambrasa 02:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

message: All of the Sodburys are referred to in the Domesday book. Old and Chipping Sodbury were given to Crassus as britric land. He then divided them formalising the market portion of the holding. I doubt, however, it is fair to say that he founded either. The existence of the Sodburys precedes William the Conqueror's land seizures by many years.
Oh...! and we locals and ex-locals call it the "Sodding Chippery". Your author must have come from the posh end of town... ;-). It is also generally accepted by the locals that the genteelly-named Horse Street was originally known as Whores Street!
Nothing about the very nice beer festival - now well established.
Another famous feature of the town is the number of pubs servicing the town centre.
The Beaufort Hunt
The Boot
The George
The Grapes - Now regretably a curry house called the Tudor Raj. Uggh!
The Portcullis
The Royal Oak
The running joke used to be that if all the local population decided to go out at the same time, they could all get a seat.
