Talk:Vertical

message: A characteristic left out here is what happens when you are talking about flipping vertically or horizontally. For me it would make sense that a vertical or horizontal flip would be one across the relevant axis, but that's not how it gets used, and there's not enough here to clarify the concepts involved in that instance.

Talk:Horizontal

message: Horizontal means different sides of something.(Ex) Say if you went to Super Kmart and there's a shed.It opens top side to side and its called a Horizontal Shed. If you go to Super Kmart it is really there. You can put trashcans in it. But back to the point it is horizontal. Horizontal means different sides of something. Top to bottom and side to side.

Talk:Raymond Leane

message: Hi Peacemaker67, Thanks for another fine article. Here are some possible tweaks to consider before the GA review starts:
* knighted for commissioner - appears twice in lede (1st para and 2nd last sentence)
* consistencies:
*:shell fire v shellfire
*:counterattack v counter-attack /one word x 8, hyphenated x3
*:Pioneer Trench  v Pioneers Trench, 2 each
*:Croix de guerre v Croix de Guerre
*:Citizens' Forces v Citizen's Forces (actually, there are no apostrophes in its (AAR's) article)
*:Times formats 4:30 am/4:00am/07:00/08:00/10:30/12:15/13:30/15:30/5:15/02:00/15:00/23:00    
*"Fighting Leane's of Prospect" - is the apostrophe in the Hurst ref?
*Categories to add?:
*:Recipients of the Croix de guerre 1914–1918 (France)
*:Australian police chiefs
*:Burials in South Australia
*Categories to refine?:
*:Australian Companions of the Order of St Michael and St George
*:Australian Companions of the Order of the Bath‎
*:Australian Knights Bachelor
*:Australian recipients of the Military Cross
*:Australian Companions of the Distinguished Service Order

Bit of a bug bear of mine, so not sure how that slipped through. Some crusty half-colonel once insisted we properly punctuate Officers' Mess as the possessive, ie the Mess belonging to the Officers... And now I'm stuck with it.

Talk:Contingent sovereignty

message: *These articles were apparently created as part of a cover history for User:Liliana Dioguardi, who has been suspected to be in the employ of a Kremlin propaganda effort - specifically in her creation and maintenance of the International Council for Democratic Institutions and State Sovereignty article in support of the public legitimacy of that organization. The prominent international news and business magazine The Economist magazine has reported that this organization is likely a front for a Kremlin-sponsored disinformation effort, and has specifically identified the ICDISS article and User:Liliana Dioguardi as part of this effort. See these articles and the ICDISS article talk page.
*While these articles seem to be legitimate subjects, Dioguardi is responsible for all, or almost all their content - this makes these articles suspect for NPOV reasons.. I urge Wikipedians with a political theory/history/international relations/international law background to help build these articles beyond their sad "cover story" beginnings.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: Just added the reference for the etymology: Jean Rey, Histoire du drapeau, des couleurs et des insignes de la monarchie française, Vol. 2, Paris 1837, p.40. Accoring to Jean Rey, a throne surmounted by a baldachin (dais) was called a lit in old French. It's a valid reference, though the venerable Jean Rey probably just made it up (he kicks at amateur etymology just a few lines further) - he gives no proof. In my view, a lit is the place where something lies or sits, be it a person, a river, a geological layer, or Justice. Reading lit d'une rivière, or river bed, one does not imagine cushions or baldachins eiher. Just take lit as meaning place.Riyadi (talk) 19:25, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Juke (instrumental)

message: I tried to give this article a good jumpstart.  Please offer any help, criticism, or knowledge. --Tornvmax 06:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think it's right to talk about 3:4 and 2:4 time in Juke.  The cited transcription in which these time signatures appear is just that: a transcription in formal notation of a live-recorded, improvised piece of music.
It's clear that Walter royally screwed up his timing in that second chorus.  The remarkable thing is that he and the band managed to get back on track without spoiling the piece.  (Perhaps even more remarkable is that they decided to release the track with such a huge fluff in it.  They clearly recognised that this added to the piece's personality - and the charts proved them right.)  And he also throws in an extra half-bar in the third chorus.
In his (wonderful) transcription, Glenn Weiser has chosen to deal with these deviations by switching to 3:4 and 2:4 time - but I guarantee that Walter wasn't thinking in these time signatures as he was playing.
Basically I'm saying that the reference in the article to 3:4 and 2:4 time is missing the real point:  that the piece contains significant flaws, and it is a masterpiece despite - in fact because of - these flaws.  That this makes transcribing the piece just that much harder, as evidenced by the cited transcription, is incidental to this point.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.34.170.132 (talk) 12:06, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree, this should be "Ruslan and Lyudmila (opera)".  I think this article may have originally been about the poem as I found several links that seemed to indicate that.

message: I've reverted some changes to times to reflect the way these have been described in the source material, which is in an am/pm format rather than a 24 hour time format. I'm not sure if there is an actual agreed standard for time (the MOS certainly didn't enforce a single standard) so I've opted to go with the original source description. 
Similarly, I've reverted a change that had a metric-only measurement (38 kg) to include the original imperial measurement that the source material reported with a metric conversion calculated by the Wikipedia  template. 
I've also reverted the edits to the formatting of National Library of Australia cited sources. The citation as formatted is what was provided by the NLA, so I'm going to trust that they've done it in the most correct way.- Zzrbiker (talk) 02:35, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
