Category talk:Transport in Liverpool

message: I wonder why there is a need for two categories - this one and :Category:Transport in Merseyside? Since Liverpool is part of Merseyside it seems a little perverse. The same thing obtained in West Yorkshire where there was also a category for Leeds.
*It's part of a consistent structure. Check out :Category:Buildings and structures in Merseyside which has subcategories for each of the five boroughs and :Category:Sport in Merseyside which has four subcategories, there being insufficient articles to create the fifth one for Knowsley yet.  It's the same with Transport, there are only sufficient articles for a Liverpool subcategory at present, but hopefully this will change as Wiki grows. The alternative of creating the structure in advance and leaving sparsely populated / empty categories, see :Category:Schools in Merseyside, also draws negative comment. I'll put back structure to be consistent. Please post any comments.  Thanks. Shrew 23:02, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Categories

message: My thinking on this subject is that even without the Transport by City cat there are already at least three (and often more!) routes for getting to articles on transport in a particular city: by the search box, by the individual City cat/article and by the Transport by Country cat. The extra Transport by City cat was an un-needed route; it was only partially populated, contained other partial cat systems, and led to editors getting confused as to which cat to use for their articles - some using City, some using Country and others using both. In short, the cat was not enabling clarity and ease of use for either editors or readers. And I was bearing in mind that "Restraint should be used as categories become less effective the more there are on any given article." SilkTork 23:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

—OverMyHead 23:46, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The word riviera is a common Italian word for "coastline" derived from Old French riviere meaning shoreline of a river or lake. It later came to mean any shoreline, including eventually that of the Mediterranean Sea. In some cases the term is used to indicate not only the bank but a wider region adjacent to the same, so in Romagna this name is given to the regions adjacent to the banks of the waterways. With reference to the sea, it means the coast or coastal sector, especially as used as an element of place names: as in "Riviera Ligure" ("Ligurian Riviera") (or simply Riveria),  East Coast (Riveria di Levante) and West Coast (Riveria di Ponente) of Liguria.  --Bejnar (talk) 06:38, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: That was me.  Sorry, I missed your comment here.  Anyway, images are discouraged on navigation pages - the goal is to get the reader to move on to the "real" article, not linger here too long.  Images are thus only relevant when they help disambiguate between meanings, as at Congo (disambiguation).  See MOS:DAB#Images and templates. SnowFire (talk) 23:36, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

text: I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.  It looks like a disambig page, it's styled like a disambig page, it is a disambig page.  I suppose the article could be changed into something like "List of places called Riviera" and then pictures stuck in a table, one for each, but this would be tricky at best to sell.  I think keeping it clean and simple and directly at getting to the real articles is best, skips arguing about the best images to represent "Rivieras in general", whatever that means.

Talk:Slack tuning

message: Dear Author,
Heavy Metal Bands are not the only people to use "slack tunings".
Actually my research of this topic yeilds an entirely different set of facts dealing with "slack tunings".
There are open tunings, alternate tunings, and and infinite amount of possible tunings for guitar. "Slack Key" refers to a set of different tunings used by a variety of musical styles, from blues to Hawaiian music. Tuning down a half step or even a whole step is not the true definition of "Slack Key". Please explore the real history of open tunings and their present usages. Heavy Metal is hardly "slack key". Alternately tuned yes. Harmony Central is a great resource for links concerning "slack key".
                                               fernhead30@yahoo.com
I always understood that McCartney's recording of Yesterday was one of the first recorded slack tunings, with the acoustic guitar tuned down a tone, so that he could finger the chords in G but produce the sound in F, which better suited his voice. If you play the chords in F, they don't sound nearly so good because you lose the resonance of the open strings that you get with G. Bluewave 12:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I believe that Slack tuning should be deleted, or possibly merged with Slack-key guitar.
Slack tuning is normally used as an alternate term for slack key guitar, but the article on slack tuning 
is about drop tunings used in rock and metal. It cites no sources whatsoever, and either needs sourdes or should be deleted/ merged into Slack-key Guitar.
Caoilte 3 August 2006
To repeat what I've written in the discussion page for "Slack Key Guitar," whatever rock players might call the practice of tuning down one or more half-steps, it has no relationship to the Hawaiian playing tradition called "slack key." You guys can figure out whether this term is an actual usage in the rock world or someone's oddball way of talking about the practice, but don't come knockin' at our little grass shack. (That's a joke, son. A joke.) FWIW, neither the Guitar School Online page pointed to in the External Links nor the "Scordatura" article seems to contain the word "slack."

The SUN SPARC was introduced in mid-1987. I was fired from Definicon as they were working on both SPARC based and 29K based coprocessor boards. After being fired, I joined Dr Trevor Marshall and Jim Potter to help found a company that was incorporated as YARC Systems in January, 1988. YARC produced the AMD 29K development system board.
Development of the AMD 29K processor line ended in 1992 with the launch of the K5 design project.

Besides - I'm not sure that she is non-notable.  She has media presence and limited acting credit, (The Rise of the Krays) albeit not exactly stellar.

The term is particularly used for creatures that damage crops, livestock, and forestry or cause a nuisance to people, especially in their homes. Humans have modified the environment for their own purposes and are intolerant of other creatures occupying the same space when their activities impact adversely on human objectives.

message: The dates of composition for certain texts, such as Romance in Marseille e.g., may be confusing or contradict what is on other pages. Perhaps we can either delete such dates or add context. 
For example, Romance was composed as early as 1929 but with a different title (a fact reflected on the Romance in Marseille wiki page). But in this article, it says "(around 1933)". It's not wrong, necessarily, but slightly misleading. 
I'm curious what other editors think, though; it may be too trivial of an edit to revise the entire page. On the other hand, 1929 is the year of the market crash, e.g., and part of McKay's writing career was arguably shaped by his financial situation. --SebastianWilliams1651 (talk) 19:19, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
