thread_title:  Media Depiction 

message: This article on John Tovey is excellent, but it appeared in substance and often verbatim over the initials R. W. P. in Naval Review 68 (July 1980): 205-211, with the title, "Admiral of the Fleet, Lord John Tovey ...". It is an excellent article and Wikipedia is doing a service by making it available. But it is very wrong not to credit the author, even if we only know his or her initials. I understand that this is a general policy of Wikipedia; if so that is a terrible theft of the hard work of others.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.71.226.34 (talk) 21:04, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Anker Boye

message: Partisan linkage should not be used as a source of information. It is a large mistake to think that a link to a conservative homepage could justify information on social democratic politician. I am also very disappointed with the non-bias focus in the article as well. 
ChocoFanten 14:36 30/7/2006
:Jan and Anker arguing about the "47 committees" was a pretty frequent topic in the last election campaign. This criticism was probably first raised by Jan Boye, but also repeated by Fyens Stiftstidende, and mentioned in TV2/Fyn. The Tina Turner business was headline news on both national tv channels and it seems beyond doubt that it was influential in the election. It was also the topic of a large number of letters to the editor in Fyens Stiftstidende. On the other hand, Fyens Stiftstidende's ' focus on the struggle between Jan Boye and Anker Boye was a clear help to both of them at the expense of all other political parties. The election was a decisive defeat for Anker Boye (and consequently for the social democrats in Odense) with his number of personal votes down from 36,000  to 18,400 , just like the election was catastrophic to Venstre in the same city (17,000  votes slashed to 6,800 ). Jan Boye simply crushed both Venstre and the Social Democrats in Odense. Valentinian (talk) 14:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  digital and download 

message: This is my first Wikipedia dilemma, so feel free to help out.
I took out the "slight" from the following sentence:
This results in a slight loss of sound quality due to additional encoding/decoding of the music (called transcoding).
There's one part in me, which believes that transcoding is bad. The true ideal is the analogue signal in a concert hall designed by true sound aficionados (or any sound occurring in nature for that matter). In that sense any digitalization sucks. However, if you compress music with a lossy format and then transcode it into another lossy format that's more then a 'slight loss' of sound quality.
Nevertheless I wonder if my personal bias against an industry that effectively killed music had a say in this probably minor edit (which isn't flagged as such). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CaptainZapp (talk • contribs) 21:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Personally I think the list is already too long (28 titles) and a number-one debut on this chart, in my opinion, is not as notable as a number-one debut on one of the major (non-component) charts.  In the digital age, with instantaneous nationwide access to buy a song the moment it comes out, number-one debuts on this chart are commonplace.  Thoughts? - eo (talk) 19:39, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Neuro-linguistic programming/HeadleyDown cites

message: Druckman (1988) comments: "The system was developed in answer to [why] particular psychotherapists were so effective with their patients. Rather than explore this question in terms of psychotherapeutic theory and practice, Bandler and Grinder sought to analyze what the therapists were doing at an observational level, categorize it, and apply the categories as a general model of interpersonal influence. NLP seeks to instruct people to observe, make inferences, and respond to others, as did the three original, very effective therapists."

NLP is also criticised for unethically encouraging the belief in non existent maladies and insecurities by otherwise normal individuals
::* 
NLP has also been described as a commercial cult, and has been criticised within the business sector for being coercive, including undue and forced adoption of fundamental beliefs and intense confrontational psychological techniques, tantamount to forced religious conversion

Talk:List of aircraft of the French Air Force during World War II

message: I think there's a contradiction between the title and subtitle of this page, and its contents. Right now this is more looking like a 1930-1940 inventory. If we are only to list aircraft that took part in the 1940 Battle of France, we should probably remove all aircraft that perhaps still were on the inventory, but were too old and were not used at all in 1940, such the Breguet XIX. On the other hand if we are to list all aircraft types used by the Armée de l'air in WWII, we should add types introduced after November 1942 such as the P-40, P-39, P-47, B-26 and so on. Thoughts?

Talk:Bruce Montgomery (musical director)

message: Deleted statement: Monty's a great G&S fan and occasional researcher, but hardly one of the world's foremost authorities on G&S. 
:Is there some confusion here between two composers with the same name? I had always assumed that John Barleycorn, the children's opera, was composed by the English composer Bruce Montgomery (aka Edmund Crispin). There are certainly other references on the web to that effect, though they could easily be wrong. The one thing that makes me think it more likely is that the opera was published by Novello, which also published other of the British Montgomery's works. I can't see any similar references (other than this one) to it being composed by the American Montgomery. Does anybody know?
I am sure you are right.  It must be the British Montgomery.  -- Ssilvers 21:31, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
