Talk:Gerald Howat

message: First of all, I don't know who this person is. So by no mean of disrespect to him or fellow wiki editors of this page --- I disagree with the fact that "Eton of the North" is a title or nickname to Glenalmond College and it's being added here. I know it's in his obituary but that doesn't mean it's the correct term and to be added to here in the article. In fact, I have the following links/citations (1 also came from the "Scotsman") to show that it's usually referred to another school in Scotland.

replies: text: It seems that both Fettes and Glenalmond have been so described, then. Perhaps the term was more applied to Glenalmond in the past but is more commonly applied to Fettes now? Anyway, it's obviously not really significant in the context of the current article, so I am context to let the expression be omitted. JH (talk page) 09:27, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Formation flying

message: I started this page because I thought the subject merited an article of its own (separate from, for example, aerobatics).  However, I'm a little unsure where it should go from here.  There's very little publicly-available reference material on which to base an article, and the material that is available (such as the T-34 Association manual) mainly covers procedures and rules.  I'd like the article to focus more on the methods of formation flying, and perhaps some history.--Tedd 17:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The portion of the article on military aircraft formations, whether intentionally or not focuses on fighter formations.  Bomber formations and airlift formations are different.  Bomber formations should include the combat box used by American heavy bomber forces during World War II.  For history, fighter formations preceding the finger four formation (which dates from World War II) included line abreast and line astern (British terms, American for line astern woud be trail).  More importantly, the V (or vic) formation was a standard fighter formation prior to WW II. Lineagegeek (talk) 00:47, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Wavefront

message: The definition which is given on the main page implies that, the phase having been defined, the wavefront must move with the speed of light, and yet it is stated that "the temporal component of electromagnetic waves is usually ignored".  There must be something wrong here !  
The illustrations confuse this further - one shows a static wavefront pattern, the other is moving.  I assume that the usefulness of the concept of a locus of equal phase is that it allows the use of a static geometric pattern.  If this is the case, the definition must be modified by the inclusion of a phrase such as "at a particular instant".  The moving-pattern wavefront ilustration would then be inappropriate. 
Please take this comment seriously and clarify this issue.  At present the main article is ambiguous to the point of being useless.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.32.50.77 (talk) 07:16, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

message: If the notion wavefront is used in other branches of Physics, I think that mentioning Physics alone is enough. It's like saying 'In California and the United States, there are people of different ethnicity.' California is in the United States. Thljcl (talk) 10:10, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Optics is just a branch of Physics

message: Sorry to be pedantic, but I think that the first sentence is ambiguous when it says: "the wavefront of a time-varying field is the set (locus) of all points where the wave has the same phase of the sinusoid". Imagine a sinusoidal plane wave; then the set of all such points comprises an infinite collection of parallel planes. Am I right in thinking that each one of these planes is a separate wavefront? Or is it the whole collection taken together, as implied? Or should we regard  and  as being two different phases? NeilOnWiki (talk) 18:21, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Born Again

message: I removed the item about the stage musical per the Manual of Style for Disambiguation Pages. Disambig pages are not intended to be a list of meanings for a given term; that's what Wiktionary is for. They are supposed to help the user navigate between existing articles. Since there's no existing article about the stage show "Born Again", and none of the linked articles for that item offer any substantial information about the show, I removed it. (There is also supposed to be only one bluelink for each line of a disambig page.) Since, I think, Chichester Festival Theatre is the only article that even mentions "Born Again", if the item were included on the disambig page, that should be where the one bluelink should go. I would still argue against its inclusion since the theatre article doesn't offer any information about the show except that it was performed there. Propaniac 17:04, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok point taken. The problem is the page for the Chichester Festival Theatre only gives what was performed and who directed it. It doesn't appear to have a place to explain if something is a new work, or siginificant in any way. Skekayuk 10:54, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Leonard Miall

message: I will not bother to even discuss the facile  template - so much easier to edit the article to add a template than to add one or two headings - but  and ?
There are two listed references, both of which confirm that 
*He worked on psychological warfare in New York and San Francisco in 1942-4 (after doing similar work in the UK, and before moving back to Europe in a similar role)
*He ran the BBC's New York office in the late 1960s (the Guardian explicitly mentions selling "BBC costume serials" to US networks; it hardly needs an encyclopedic knowledge of the sort of programme that a BBC executive in a commercial role would be selling to the Americans in the 1960s)
*He worked with Asa Briggs on The History of Broadcasting in the United Kingdom
The rest of this article is also drawn from the same two sources, which do not disagree in any material respect (I am struggling to think of anywhere that they disagree at all, in fact).  Would you like me to add two footnotes to the end of every clause, sentence or paragraph?

thread_title:  Dates of birth and death 

message: The source absolutely does not mention that he was Arab. I don't know how one can conclude that he was an Arab scholar? 
Simply because he was born in Lebanon? that makes him Lebanese. Referring to his works and poems, majority are in Persian/Farsi (all in public domain), he grew up where is currently considered Iran and he died in Isfahan, Iran.
I'd like to hear more views on this part, else I'll remove the "Arab" word.

Talk:Trouble (Cat Stevens song)

message: "Trouble" is not a song written about suicide. Just because it was used in a movie in which one of the characters takes her life, does not make the song about suicide. The songs used in that movie, Harold and Maude, were permitted for use at least a year after they were written. The song emerged from the introspective feelings Cat Stevens had during his stay in a sanitorium to recover from tuberculosis, where he was brought, literally on the verge of death, and the fears he had of dying. --leahtwosaints (talk) 21:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The Cheese and the Worms

message: It might be worth noting that in many parts of Italy cheese with ‘worms’ was regarded as a great delicacy.

thread_title: Wormy cheese

message: The phrase "much that is know about Menocchio" is from Ginzburg is misleading, if not disingenuous.  I would be surprised if there were one fact of his life given here which is not drawn from "The Cheese and the Worms."  This article is a nice summary of Ginzburg's work - and in fact should probably be headed as the entry on the book, with a cross-reference link from "Menocchio" pointinto it.

replies: text: I agree with this - the whole point of the work is that he picks a random person and builds a history from that. It's certainly a notable book, but I certainly don't think that makes Menocchio notable in his own right. Obviously, an article entitled "The Cheese and The Worms" has considerable scope to talk about Menocchio himself, but equally Ginzburg's approach and work. If the title is "Menocchio" however, the opposite is not the case. I have moved the article accordingly and hope that everyone is in agreement? Brigade Piron (talk) 19:02, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Author (music)

message: Usually, the "author" of written music is called a composer.  The term "song-writer" may be used to describe a person who creates lyrics as well as the melody or chord progression, though often the chords progressions of many songs are very similar (i.e. blues progression) and genres which incorporate the three basic chords:  I, IV and V. 
Perhaps this article should be redirected to "composer" instead.

Talk:Backup band

message: Shouldn't genesis not be on this list? Phil collins was the drummer originally.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Genesis are a real, cohesive unit. Not just Phil's backing band.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.67.90 (talk) 04:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Perhaps I'm being a bit picky, but I don't consider some of the groups listed here as being bands, backing or otherwise. To me, a band implies people playing instruments, not merely a group of vocalists. The Jordanaires and the Miracles, to name a couple, to the best of my knowledge never played any instruments but rather provided backing vocals to Elvis and Smokey respectively.Wschart (talk) 20:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  band vs singers 

message: This is a terrible "article." If I could pretend to be enough of a sunny optimist, I might describe it as "a dictionary entry with a bunch of random supposed examples."
…except that in all honesty the list (as with the majority of WP "notables" lists) is a bunch of unsubstatiated nonsense posted by various fans & triviologists. In order to be truly notable, such a list ought be derived ONLY from one or more credible outside sources, else it's pretty much a shining example of original research.
Even if the list were to be allowed to stand, it's a hodgepodge that makes "apples and oranges" seem entirely reasonable as a grouping (they are, after all, both fruit). This I blame on the opening "definition," which is poor in the extreme. Disparate categories are lumped together:
*musical groups that existed independently AND supported solo musicians, such as The Groundhogs who backed solo artists such as John Lee Hooker and Little Walter when they toured the UK.
*similarly, groups that existed before being recruited for the job (The Shondells were gigging as The Raconteurs).
*groups that existed as a cohesive unit and eventually had one member step to the forefront (The Supremes).
*groups that continued independently after their headliner embarked on a solo career (The Shadows).
*revolving-door bands that existed at the whim of an individual artist (The Mothers of Invention) or two (Kiss (band)).
In each case, "backing band" clearly means something different. I could make the argument that the term should be reserved to mean a group that is assembled for performance or recording by an artist (rather than hiring professional jobbing musicians).
The list somehow fails to mention groups that inarguably existed to support a "name" artist, apparently due to lacking the all-important AND — examples abound, but begin with Warren Zevon and Jackson Browne.
Foremost, the article title isn't right: much as with backup singers now being redirected correctly to backing vocalist, the misnomer "backup" is both popular and wrong. Weeb Dingle (talk) 08:32, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
