Talk:Norman Cousins

message: Need for crrection: The Norman Cousins page lists Cousins year of birth as 1915. As far as I know this is correct. Yet at the bottom of the same page there is a link for 1912 births.
He is listed as a Jewish-American author.  It is my understanding that he was either Unitarian or professed no particular faith.  This needs to be clarified.
Dudes, I don't know about the Jewish American thing, but a quick look at Amazon.com will get ya a better list of his books.  Reading his entry made me glad 'till I caught chronological and factual errors that made me realize none of the authors have read "Head First."  Huge mistake.  He was far more influential in medicine than he was in politics.  I'd start editing your work but don't know how, have never done it and am not comfortable jumping in on the game.  Lemme know ahd I'll help as best I can.  For now the best I can suggest is read his books or at least that one.  Impeachplease (talk) 03:45, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Gamelan notation

message: Notes for someone more experienced at writing articles: Being a traditional gamelan player, I must add that it is really quite fruitless to talk about pelog 4s and 7s as being sharp or flat. In fact, this kind of thinking is rather misleading. Also, it might be more useful to compare the pitches to the natural harmonic scale (see also: just notation) or pentatonic scales rather than solfege (that is, western 'equal' temprament).
thanks
Shadowshark (talk) 01:22, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there,
Do you disagree that it can be fruitful to think of pelog as pentatonic with substitutions available, or is your objection only to the western frame of reference?     If the later, we probably agree, but  I've assumed "flat" and "sharp" etc. are familiar to many Anglophone readers in the sence of "lowers" and "raised", without implying by a fixed number of cents.   The "Galin-Paris-Cheve system of 1894" claim originates (I'm pretty sure) with Judith Becker, but my point was that the resemblance between 3-5 and  mi-sol gap is probably coincidental.    There isnt an article yet on laras, but Pelog and Slendro do a better job of covering the actual tuning than may be expected of an article on notation. Sparafucil (talk) 02:17, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

text: How about using the terms "raised" or "lowered"? They would be widely understood by the anglophone audience, but unlike sharp and flat they seem less likely to imply a Western interpretation or a fixed number of cents. Rigadoun  (talk) 19:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I personally don't feel that the surname spin-off is necessary, as there is no issue with having the names here. It's not a long article, and for people looking for Wayne Rooney (there are a lot, I'm sure), it's confusing - I thought he'd been removed by vandalism before I realised a new article had been created. The new article doesn't look particularly tidy, either. I can't think of many other surnames that are spun-off; Smith is, but that's a very, very common name. There's only 20 or so individuals named Rooney. Esteffect (talk) 17:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your estimate of how common spinning off surnames is way off, I looked in the Surnames category and immediately found Abercrombie, which has a spin off to Abercrombie (surname). That was with a two second look at the first page. There must be countless others. And I really do think that, for a dab page, the previous verion is long, certainly long enough to make it not ideal as a simple navigation page. As for that, I'm sure that realising there is a surname spinoff, and then clicking 'W' in its contents page, is not that hard or relatively time consuming surely?. People will always miss things, I've seen things get added multiple times to even small dab pages, this is just the way some people work. MickMacNee (talk) 17:18, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I do not think that this is the primary usage of the term Ruhr in English. In English an unqualified mention of "the Ruhr" usually means the area as described in the current article named Ruhr Area. I think that this article should be moved to Ruhr (river) and the article Ruhr Area should be moved to Ruhr with a hatnote to the river article. --PBS (talk) 09:17, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Primary usage

message: The article says:
The Ruhr Area was Germany's main industrial zone during the early 1900s. Most factories were located there. Occupation of the Ruhr in the 1920s by French forces caused passive resistance, which saw production in the factories grind to a halt. As a result, the hyperinflation crisis grew even worse.
The first two sentences are OK, although it seems they might do well with a bit of documentation.  But I think the rest belongs more in the article on the Ruhr region than it does here.  If you're going to include this episode from the 1920s, you probably should also go into its strategic importance in World War II, and thus the damage the area suffered.  But then there would be no limit, and the history of the region would be duplicated here.  140.147.236.194 (talk) 15:55, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
