Talk:Rompler

message: I edited this article to try to clarify the multiple uses of the term Rompler.  Doing online research only, I found no conensus of opinion, so I wanted to diversify the definition of the term.
--
I just looked through the older versions and some are far superior to your re-write.  Your re-write suggets that samplers are romplers ("The most general usage is a device whose waveforms are based only on samples, be they presets or user created."), but a rompler by its very definition contains its samples in ROM.  How can a user 'create' a waveform in a rompler?  It can't be done.  A rompler waveform can only be manipulated by the user.  Why the hell would anyone rewrite an article to make it worse?  Get a life, and quit trashing other people's superior writing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.67.209 (talk) 08:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: when is a rompler not a rompler?

message: A synthesizer is, by the very definition found in wikipedia, " an electronic musical instrument that generates audio signals."
A ROMpler IS stricly considered a subcategory of synthesizer, period. Whether a synthesizer uses FM or Samples as oscillators for sound generation is completely irrelevant to the definition of the word synthesizer.
Calling something a ROMpler is more or less a marketing concern for media or retailers. Early 90's emu racks were considered ROMplers as well, yet provide a wealth of different kind of filters, called Z-plane filters, and allowed complex and deep editing of sounds, which completely contradicts what that wikipedia page claims.
There are so many problems with that articles. 
Some ROMplers DO use single cycle waveforms for some of their patches, along with longer samples. So the dichotomy found in the current wikipedia article is simply absurd.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:CB08:B59:7C00:94AB:B770:5A98:A410 (talk) 13:35, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Stillwell Avenue

message: The article has been assessed as a Fail.
The assessment is, as follows :
1) The article is far too short to even be considered for GA Status. Familiarise yourself with the requirements of the  GA Criteria. You will note that Point 3 of   the GA Criteria requires an article to be broad in coverage which this article singularly fails to do. I note that the article was created on 5 November 2007 and nominated for GA status on 7 November 2007. It is far too short and a sufficient period of time, say, six months, should have been left before a GA nomination was made in order to allow editors to reflect, ruminate on and source the article. As it is, the article is, basically, start class.
2) Rigelmann Boardwalk, Scarangella Park, James J. Byrne are all non-existent links.
3) The Lead is inadequate and needs to be expanded. Read Wikipedia:Notability, Stillwell Avenue should be included on Wikipedia, why ? The Lead needs to make the case for notability, Read WP:Lead.
4) The geographical co-ordinates, giving latitude and longitude should be included in the Infobox, something like :
I have made up the co-ordinates but you need to enter the right ones.
5) Street description is written in bad English and is tedious. It needs a total rewrite. What notable buildings are there on Stillwell Avenue ? Which famous people have lived there ? What events take place there ? parades ? etc.
6) The original cost of building Stillwell Avenue is given as $331,500. Give and reference the inflation adjusted figure for the modern day equivalent.
7) Why is 13 November 2006 wiki-linked ? Remove link and rewrite as there is no need for a date in the article as it will be available in the reference.
8) Name the architect. The New York Sun story is dated November 2006 - a year ago. What has happened to the plans since then ? The section needs to be expanded and detailled.
9) Give references for the claims that the "largest rapid transit terminal" is situated on Stillwell Avenue and that it is "most energy efficient".
10) Write a new section the traffic congestion on Stillwell Avenue, this would bring together the need for public transport.
The article needs a lot of work before it can be re-nominated.

message: I know of several examples I've encountered in the past, but nothing I can really cite as a reference:
* Internet Explorer used to be just a download stub
* Yahoo! Messenger likewise used to be just a download stub, with the true source of the full installation executable hidden within the stub
* Adobe products (Reader, Flash/Shockwave player) are notorious for obfuscating their download URIs in JavaScript.  On one occasion, there was a Linux update for a set of critical vulnerabilities, but their JavaScript frontend did not recognize there was a newer version available...but I was able to guess correctly the URI from their file naming conventions.
* Sun (now Oracle) wanted users to use their "download manager" to download Java.
* The standard Microsoft Windows Service Pack offered from a Web page is only a stub program, but in addition they provide another link for each labelled as "For IT professionals."
So I guess I'm asking for some editors' help in documenting what I've added to this article.

Talk:List of compositions by Anton Reicha

message: I put the opus number list first because its easier to read, I think, at least all these pieces really do exist and were published.

message: Aside from the E-flat, I see no mention of the C minor recorded on Valois (and listed as "symphony no. 1" there.) - assuming (?) that it is authentic, not sure where it fits in chronology compared to this G major symphony here listed as no. 1. (And the multiple no. 1s, etc. will confuse others besides me even if it only reflects multiple works that were so titled.) Schissel | Sound the Note! 14:00, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, because Reicha's oeuvre is not very well researched, and because Stone's catalogue is no more than a draft of one (and there is no substitute), things like these happen all the time. It could be that the C minor symphony you're talking about is one of the à grand orchestre ones (1809, 1811). Or maybe its a recently discovered work that has yet to be included in the catalogue. And then it could be that the symphony is not authentic.. Jashiin (talk) 14:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

text: The Reicha biographer mentioned in that footnote is Olga Šotolová; apparently her book on Reicha contains errors - I haven't read it, but one of the reviews I found while working on the article Anton Reicha states so. See the first footnote there for details. So I gather it can't be trusted. As for catalogue inconsistencies and such - literally nothing surprises me after studying early music, where catalogues are always "in progress" and researchers race against one another to find more new pieces.. then other researchers disprove their findings.. still other researchers then dig up older findings and prove them correct.. etc. :) --Jashiin (talk) 15:28, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Principles of learning

message: Per the quick-fail criteria of the GA process, any article that lacks references entirely must be failed without an in-depth review or hold period. Though technically there is a references section present, the article does not provide a single inline citation (in either footnote or Harvard reference format). Simply having references is not enough, articles must attribute facts to sources through citations. For more, please read WP:V, WP:CITE, and the Good Article criteria. As a side note: it may be confusing for some to see the fail notice appear as if from thin air. This article was nominated on the WP:GAC page, but the corresponding template was never provided here. Please feel free to renominate when you have corrected this issue. If you feel the decision was in error you may seek a reassessment. Thank you for your work so far, VanTucky Talk 04:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Quick-failed Good Article nomination

message: Article was quick-failed for lack of inline citations, but there is no such requirement in either WP:GA? or WP:V. Although inline cites are commonly used, they are not always required. They are only specifically required for: "direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons" which are not applicable to this article. Many editors object to the overuse of inline cites because they are unnecessarily distracting. This article is a compilation of several public domain sources which are in general agreement on the topic, which is the practical application of the "principles of learning." Each alone supports the entire article (with the minor exception of the Navy source which omits Recency). The text of the article is mostly verbatim transclusion of the best examples and explanations from each, with some minor editing to make the presentation generic. There is no need for inline citations on each sentence to show which of the documents each came from. The article meets WP:V and should be assessed on its merits.

Talk:VOC opperhoofden in Japan

message: The development of this list is a long-term, time-consuming project. While the work is continuing, it is my view that images are important.  In my view, it makes more sense to have the Doeff image in the upper quadrant of the article -- if only as a device for breathing some kind of life into what promises to remain just a list of names and dates for the foreseeable future.
This placement throws off the two-column format ... which, to me, seems easier to absorb at a glance in contrast with the single-column list.

replies: text: Hello Tenmei, you seem to remember, or vaguely recall, but the German source does not say François Caron was opperhoofd in Dejima. Caron had to accept all the conditions of the Japanese, c.q. had to organize the removal and leave! They were upset about his behavior, building a stone warehouse, with a christian date on it. My information, and for you easy to read, is from here: [Boxer. C.R. (1935) Caron (F.) & Schouten (J.)  A True Description of the Mighty Kingdoms of Japan & Siam, p. LXII. Reprinted from the English edition of 1663 with Introduction, Notes and Appendixes by C.R. Boxer. Amsterdam.] and here  and is quit clear. A Dutch source mentioned he left in February 1641, a Japanese mentions December 1641, so the sources on internet are unclear. But most important: in 1641 Le Maire travelled to Edo and Caron had to leave, without any authority to deal with the Japanese any longer.

Talk:1984 Stanley Cup Finals

message: Even though the NHL only used the 2-3-2 format for the '84 and '85 Stanley Cup Finals. Does anybody know why they made the change? I'm guessing just to mimic what the NBA and MLB use for their respective championships, and for travel purposes as well. I'm sure the Oilers dominating both the Islanders and Flyers at home caused the NHL to rethink about the format :). MechaKnight (talk) 18:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It was done to reduce travel . . . only two cross-continent trips instead a possibility of 4 in a 2-2-1-1-1 . . .  keep in mind that both years, the Oilers did not have home-ice advantage in the series (they had more points than the Isles in '84, but less than the Flyers in '85).  That's because, in those days, home-ice advantage in an inter-division series was not determined by point totals of the two teams, but the record of one division against the other, and the Patrick had a winning record against the Smythe.  In my opinion, the 2-3-2 format is better for the Finals because it minimizes the effect of home-ice advantage, which should be reduced as much as possible for the Finals.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.112.217.193 (talk) 11:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I think the doom metal elements of Gallhammer's style are really superficial. They're clearly most indebted to crust punk and black metal, and also have (to my ears) a strong noise rock connection.

With that said, it seems to me that Gallhammer would be better described as "black sludge" than doom metal.
