Talk:Downs Preparatory School

message: Thought I'd start this stub as I went there. Peter Lazarus, former racing driver and founder of the Martini glass collection, was headmaster at the time and put the fear of God into each and every one of us. ;-) --DavidP 22:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Banners have been placed on this article questioning its notability and asking for additional references. I have added the listed building paragraph with a reference but would welcome the views of others whether it meets the relevant notability guideline?— Rod talk 09:53, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In its current presentation, this article does not meet Wikipedia criteria for inclusion.It is quite possible that the school may be notable for several reasons including, for example,  having been attended by numerous notable people, having received very high national awards, etc. However, such notability, if asserted. must be proven in order to qualify for a Wikipedia article. Proof of notability must be demonstrated by providing reliable sources that can be verified. The requirements that  must be fulfilled by all primary and middle schools are listed under the notability criteria for companies and organisations, and further explanation is provided in the instructions for building school articles. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 23:38, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

text: We could do that although Grade II are not generally seen as being inherently notable in their own right (whereas G 1 & II* are & that's what most of the individual building articles are) unless there are other factors which aid notability - the school might work in that context, but it could also be famous residents, unusual architecture or something "famous" occurring at the site.— Rod talk 09:43, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Norse descent

message: I am afraid I think the derivation of the name given here is misleading to say the least.  Doo/Dhu derives from the Norse for black and indicates those who followed one of the two principal powers struggling for control of the Norse cities established in Ireland.  Ultimately the followers of the black flag won.  Dublin ,or as translated "Black Pool" ironically, takes its name for that.  The name is Norse and nothing to do with dark haired Celts or the Spanish.  Doyle literally was "black man/stranger" as Dooley was "black warrior/soldier".

replies: text: Well i agree recent edits to the article have hurt it a bit. But the name is indeed Gaelic in origin: dubh is Gaelic, not Norse. I think there are different views as to what 'black/dark' refers to though. The part of the article i've got a problem with is the web reference for the 'darker celts' stuff. It is from surnamedb.com which is not a reliable source. It is a website where an individual writes up origins for surnames himself, adding a couple every few days. We should stick to relevant published references, its really easy to do with surnames - so not?--Celtus (talk) 08:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Notes

message: "It is commonly held that these terms were used to distinguish the darker-haired Danes from fair-haired Norwegians" It does not make sense. The proportion of blond people in DK and in N is about the same. I would even say the opposite, because Danemark and the islands of the North Sea and the Baltic were probably the Heimat of the Germanic tribes that are obviously the peoples who counted the more blond people, as Tacitus himself wrote and the archeological founds show. But it is not true for Norway that corresponds to a later extension of the Germanic people at the expense of non Germanic tribes like the Samis and they mixed up together. The translation must be different.Nortmannus (talk) 22:50, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Point-of-view shot

message: Should we make mention of the pornographic film genre of POV? -- Librarianofages
NO!!!!!!!Pikazilla 20:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: In porn

message: There are a number of items on this page that need to be corrected or removed. I'm not going to make the edits myself (at least not right now) because I don't have source materials handy. I'm speaking from 20 years experience as a film editor, which I know doesn't count as a "source". If someone wants to do the research (I recommend books by Norman Hollyn and Walter Murch, to start) here are some bits that need revision:
• "A point of view shot (also known as POV shot or a subjective camera) is a short film scene". "Scene" is used incorrectly. A shot is not a scene. Even according to the Wikipedia page for "film scene," it is "the action in a single location and continuous time." This is pretty accurate, give or take. Most importantly, a scene is almost always made up multiple shots (except when applying the technique of "long takes" or "mise en scene"), and a POV shot would almost never constitute a scene. The one exception I can think of would be the film Russian Ark, which is extremely unusual in that the entire film is one long shot, which happens to be a POV.
• "There is also the 'nobody POV', where a shot is taken from the POV of a non-existent character." I have never, ever heard this term, nor can I fathom how any shot can represent the POV of a "non-existent character". It's a contradiction in terms. Even in the rare case where a POV shot may show the perspective of a character who is never shown (for instance, in the given example of "God"), use of a POV shot then establishes the character as existent within the context of the film.
• "A POV shot need not be established by strictly visual means. The manipulation of diegetic sounds can be used to emphasize a particular character's POV." Again, misuse of terms. The term POV refers strictly to what a character sees, and the word "shot" refers to picture, made with a camera. Of course, one can establish aspects of a character's subjective perception using sound, but a sound effect or bit of music or dialogue is never referred to as a "shot." So the first sentence here is exactly wrong: a POV shot, by definition, is strictly a visual device. Hypersquared (talk) 19:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, every anticholinergic TCA is cardiotoxic above the maximal daily dose. As dosulepin is quite anticholinergic (not as much as amitriptyline, but more than desipramine), it is cardiotoxic in higher doses. But not particulary. Amitriptyline, in this respect, is somewhat worse.--Spiperon 22:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
