Category talk:United States federal executive departments

message: Why are the departments' articles both in this category and in their subcategories? —Mark Adler (markles) 15:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because they are a member of this group, allowing classification by this category as well as navigation between all the executive departments, and they define their own subcategory, allowing navigation directly from the parent article to the "child" subtopics.

Talk:Benshi

message: Ok, I'm going to sound stupid, but I think this an important point to add -- how does a person "narrate" a silent film?  Miming? Hand-signals? Lip-reading?  Holding up title cards?  I think, for the dim (like me), what acts the benshi performed need to be clarified.  Thanks, Xoloz 18:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good Point. They were live performers, and performed much like actors in a play. - AKeen 18:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Please sign your comments (append ~~~~ to them.)  What statement are you talking about?  The one which notes that the Japanese silent film era lasted into the 30s merely states that films were made with sound in the 20s, which is certainly true. --Kundor 12:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

text: the perceived lack of films might be due to a few factors:  #1 the popularity of the benshi (which you can verify in any text on the film history of Japan) and #2 the 1923 earthquake in Tokyo/Yokohama, which devastated the Japanese film industry, and #3 the firebombing campaign of 1945, which destroyed many films.  These last two causes resulted in the loss of the bulk of Japanese films made before the war.  brain 23:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Gunnar Nordström

message: Someone knowledgeable should add a mention about this work in the body of the text, because this theory played an important role in the development of General relativity and is therefore arguably an even more important contribution than the well known Reissner-Nordström electrovacuum solution.  Make sure to distinguish clearly between the two versions of theory (the first is nongeometric and the second, introduced after comments with AE, is expressed in the language of geometry).  This is a bit tricky to explain briefly but clearly, so probably only an expert should attempt it.---CH 15:47, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Nordström's theory of gravitation

message: In the article it is stated that Gunnar Nordström was "finnish". As far as I know, he belonged to the swedish speaking minority rather than being finnish and was thus Finland-swedish.

replies: text: Hi, Jens, I dropped by to comment on precisely this issue and found your comment.  I believe you are correct that Nordström was born into a Swedish speaking family in Finland but we should verify this.  The internal link would apparently be to Ankdammen (duckpond).  Unfortunately, that article seems to be bitterly disputed, and I'd like to avoid any possibility of some kind of flame war over what seems to most of us (at least in the English speaking world) a minor detail. ---CH 04:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is a strange and enduring misconception. The term 'finnish' encompasses the swedish speaking finnish population as well as the local population in Finland with various other backgrounds from Germany, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Savolax, Tavastia, Bothnia etc. Finland-swedes are under the category of 'finnish'. Just check our own homepages Svenska folk partiet. They advertise as The finnish peoples party which is complitely correct. Swedish speaking population in Finland is finnish.Spespatriae 11:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Finnish or Finland-swedish?

message: I created the original version of this article and had been monitoring it, but I am leaving the WP and am now abandoning this article to its fate.
Just wanted to provide notice that I am only responsible (in part) for the last version I edited; see User:Hillman/Archive.
I emphatically do not vouch for anything you might see in more recent versions, although I hope for the best.  Unfortunately, the preceding section suggests that poor Nordström has been posthumously dragged into a rather nasty "nationalist" controversy which is probably of interest only to some Finns and Swedes.
Good luck to all students in your search for information, regardless!---CH 00:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Violin Concerto (Barber)

message: Don't you think it would be better to move it back to "Violin concerto (Barber)" since firstly, every other violin concerto on wikipedia is under "Violin concerto (Composer)," and secondly, "violin concerto" is not so much a title as a genre description, and comes more under convention than actual fact. I mean, we don't put Brahms's concerto under "Violinkonzert (Brahms)". Cheers. --Quadalpha 16:14, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not true, though- every other concerto here is under Violin Concerto (composer) - note caps. This is the only one on my watchlist under, rather than above, "Violin concerto".

Talk:John Byrom

message: I fear this article may be inaccurate given that the Old Wellington Inn in Central Manchester has a plaque celebrating the birth of John Byrom in the establishment (which was orginally where Marks and Spencers is now - the pub was moved after the IRA Bomb attack).
Also no mention of his home Byrom Hall, Lowton. Which still stands and bears the family name.
:Broughton Cheshire or Lancashire?
"However, some sources claim that he was born at Broughton in Cheshire". Should this be Broughton in Salford? The wikisource 1911 Britannica reference says he was born at Kersal Cell and if you go to http://www.mancuniensis.plus.com/BroughtonFPX.htm it says that John Byrom, the son of a linen draper was born in Kersall (which it describes as a hamlet in the township of Broughton, Salford) in 1691
