Talk:Kingdom of Pergamon

message: I very much enjoyed this article, my thanks to the writer(s) and editor(s)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.245.17.105 (talk) 17:28, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: very nice article

message: I'll admit I boldly moved this article before, but I only did so after doing some research, and I certainly didn't change every other wikilink when I made the move.  Both "Attalid" and "Pergamon" are used, but as best I can tell "Pergamon" is somewhat more common, and that's why I moved it back in 2021.  Where are you getting "Attalid" as more common from?  Even if you're "right", it's bad practice to rename every use instantly as a "fait accompli" - it's very possible that other sources traditionally use a valid alternate name, and they should stay that way regardless of the current title.  There's almost never any need for such mass renames - even if you boldly move an article, there's no need to instantly rename a ton of articles.  SnowFire (talk) 03:11, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I will comment below, but regardless of the outcome of the RM, for future changes, please don't do a ton of wikilink adjustments elsewhere immediately after a potentially controversial bold move. It puts anyone else objecting in the awkward spot of either doing mass reverts and edit wars, or else "accepting" the change as a fait accompli, neither of which are good.  Even if the article moves, that in no way implies that every single link on Wikipedia needs to say "Attalid Kingdom" rather than "Kingdom of Pergamon" (or Attalid dynasty, or Kingdom of Pergamum, etc.).  See WP:NOTBROKEN, and more generally, the alternate terms might even be preferred in certain contexts.  SnowFire (talk) 03:24, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:List of Universal Music Group Nashville artists

message: Because MCA's country music artists are separated from the main MCA Records article, the criteria for MCA's crossover pop and country artists' inclusion for listing in either the main MCA Records article or the MCA Nashville article is whether they actually worked mostly with the Nashville division of either Decca or MCA Records.  Brenda Lee worked early on with Owen Bradley at Decca Nashville so she is included here.  On the other hand Australian artist Olivia Newton-John seldom recorded in Nashville (save for two albums recorded in 1976 and 1998) so she is listed in the main MCA Records list.

thread_title: Spanish version by David Lee Roth

message: I believe there could be an older origin to these lyrics. Less "semi auto-biographical" and more "taken directly from the slaves". I am not 100% sure though, hense why this is a discussion. The reason is the melody and subject matter along with the rhythm is extremely typical for a song with much older shared origins often before recording equipment was available. This would suggest the movie "Tobacco Road" was referencing something that exisists perhaps near where Loudermilk grew up. Food for thought. Cheers 96.54.51.84 (talk) 16:51, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Croft-on-Tees

message: The sentence The 1861 Epsom Derby winner Kettledrum was born at Croft in 1858 was changed to ... was bred at ... with edit summary "animals are bred".  Actually, animals are both bred and born.  Breeding is when you put the sire to the dam and they mate; birth is when the live animal appears.  These obviously do not have to be in the same town.  However I don;t see a reliable source cited for either event.  Cusop Dingle (talk) 07:28, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: added the reference which I used for the Kettledrum article: sorry it's a book. I used "born" rather than bred as I thought it would be clearer for the general reader. I get told off for using too many specialist terms and I sometimes over-compensate. In terms of Racehorses "bred" is used for the place a horse was born (or foaled) regardless of the where the conception took place: see for example Pont l'Eveque (horse) who was conceived in France but is always considered British bred because he was born there. It's also the case that the horse's official "breeder" is whoever owns the mare at the time of birth, regardless of whether they had anything to do with arranging the mating (covering): see Pinza.

replies: text: I think "born" is a perfectly good word for the birth of a foal.  Cusop Dingle (talk) 12:09, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Re "born" or "bred" - I'm not particularly exercised over this, so revert if there is a strong feeling against "bred". I feel that "born" is a tad sentimental for an encyclopedia when referring to animals, and that not-so-specialist term "bred" is understood by the average non-specialist reader to be synonymous with "born". As a general point, when we see "born and bred" it would be something different again, implying that "bred" could be "where brought up", which might be different place to birth. Interesting. Acabashi (talk) 15:51, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "born" is a tad sentimental for an encyclopedia when referring to animals. Would "animals" include Homo Sapiens?. And yes it is very odd that "bred" has become a synonym for "brought up". I would usually always bow to usage, but in this case a useful distinction appears to have been lost. I suspect that this results from a misunderstanding of working class British English usage by ignorant University types. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 16:22, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Harrow Painter

message: I am very surprised at the speedy deletion tag slapped on to the article. The Harrow painter is one of a handful of named vase painters from the 6th/5th CBC. There are articles about him in the scholarly press and online on Perseus. He is mentioned in the list of vase painters on Wikipedia, with a Red Link. While he is no Exekias or Andokides, there is, in my opinion, enough information about him to warrant an article. I intend to work on the article and expand it in the future, hence my inclusion of the stub link. --5telios 13:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:2007 FIFA Club World Cup

message: If Urawa Reds win simultaneously the AFC Champions League and JLeague the 7th December Play-Off will not take part. It would be better for Club World Cup. The participation of two teams from the same country would be ridiculous as it was on Brazil 2000, unless they were finalists of one of the six champions leagues. FIFA should learn not to reserve a place for a team from the host country. By the way: where will Club World Cup 2008 take part? What will be the next lucky country? Will it be Japan again? Is it buying a place for its teams? This is professional football, not an amateur competition as World Cup (30/34/38/50/54/58/62/66/70/74/78/82/86/90/94/98/02/06) has been!

Talk:Backup rotation scheme

message: This article needs a detailed explanation of Towers of Hanoi backup scheme. The explanation given on 18:29, 12 September 2007 was taken from W. Curtis Preston's "Backup & Recovery", published in 2007.

thread_title:  Towers of Hanoi backup 

message: There is a lot of confusion about this subject.  I find many references that explain the Grandfather-Father-Son rotation schedule as follows:
1 Tape (/set) used for Grandfather = Full Backup
4 Tapes for daily incremental backups Monday to Thursday
1 Tape used weekly on Fridays = Father = Differential backup
My referencesA+ fifth edition, Charles J Brooks, Que Certification, A+ Certification Concepts & Practice, Charles J Brooks, Prentice Hall,  then explain that Full and incremental backups clears the archive bit and that differential backups does not do this.  Surely this means that every weekly Differential backup will only contain data that was changed on the Friday and the rest of the weeks info will be lost when those son tapes are re-used again!  Or is there another method other than the archive bit used to determine the backup status for differential backups.
If on the other hand weekly incremental backups are made and daily differentials as some references suggest it would mean that more than one father tape would be required for a months worth of backups (i.e. not six tapes but 4+4+1)
After reviewing several online references dating back to 2001, I felt that the simple description was appropriate.  Pdinhofer (talk) 19:00, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Korean Bell Garden - Date for the Groundbreaking Ceremony 

message: The KACC's "Mission and Goals" page lists the date for the celebration of the completion of the pavilion as October 2, 2010. The "History" page says that on the 3rd, the "1st stage of bell belfry construction completed." I'm not sure if "1st stage" means that there was a second stage to the construction of the belfry or if it means that the construction of the belfry was the first stage of the construction of the overall garden. However, the "About" page says that the pavilion was completed on the 24th. I have no idea whether "belfry" and "pavilion" refer to separate structures or not, but I kind of doubt it. 
Paul Gilbert (The Executive Director of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority) wrote two different blog posts about the completion of the pavilion - one on September 7  and one on October 20.  He uses the term "pavilion" for both and never says "belfry".
Needless to say, the dating is a little confusing. There must have been several different stages of completion. I don't really feel the need to sort all of this out, because even if I knew what happened on each of these dates, going into detail about each one of them in the article would be excessive. So I simply wrote that the pavilion was completed in the Fall of 2010 and left it at that. --Jpcase (talk) 01:18, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
