Talk:Ralph Peer

message: I edited out the below sentence which I know is wrong in at least a couple of ways, but I don't have time tonight to research a complete correction: 
: In 1920, while employed as recording director for General Phonograph's  Okeh label in Kansas City, he supervised what was reputed to be the first blues recording, Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues".
I'm not sure how Peer would have supervised a recording done in New York City while in Kansas City. Crazy Blues most certainly was not the first recording of a blues, but the Smith sides were the first records done by an African American artist for the African American market. 
Mention should be made of Peer earlier at Columbia as well. --Infrogmation 05:38 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
The sentence doesn't say he supervised the recording in Kansas City, merely that he supervised it while employed by a company based in Kanasas City.  I'll be interested in the result of your research.  Tiles 06:02 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I have done some more checking and your point is correct.  Peer actually left 
Columbia Records, in Kansas City, in 1920 when he was hired as recording director of General Phonograph's OKeh label in New York. In the same year he supervised Mamie Smith's Crazy Blues Tiles 07:22 8 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Fourier transform/Archive 1

message: I think that, originally, Fourier transform was meant to discuss the general idea of Fourier transforms, and continuous Fourier transform was meant to discuss that particular case.  However, as it stands, Fourier transform is now mostly about the continuous Fourier transform, and there is a tremendous amount of redundancy.  I would suggest merging a lot of the present material into continuous Fourier transform.  —Steven G. Johnson 00:35, May 19, 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Alternative TV

message: The sentence in the introductory paragraph presently reads: 
The above excerpt of Taylor's actual text is misleading. Taylor's sentence in full: 
I don't object to the sentence in the introductory paragraph ending with "redefine the musical rules"—full stop—(the rules implied are for "punk"). I do object to omitting the Ruts and the Clash, which implies that Taylor attributes the innovation of appropriating reggae rhythms by punk artists to ATV alone. 
For perspective: 
* The Clash's version of "Police and Thieves" was released in Apr of 1977.https://www.discogs.com/The-Clash-The-Clash/master/24371
* ATV's "Love Lies Limp" was issued in the Aug 1977 edition of Sniffin' Glue.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sniffin%27_Glue 
* The Ruts formed in Aug of 1977 but "Babylon's Burning" wasn't released until 1979.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ruts 
* Generation X released "Wild Dub (Version)" in Nov 1977.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X_(band)#1977–1978

Talk:Wimbledon Championships

message: In the Schedule section, the abolition of the traditional Sunday rest day as of 2022 is explained, and it is implied that the objective is to avoid a Manic Monday on which 32 players played each year prior to 2022.
If I have understood this correctly, then this following sentence should be in the past tense:
 Before 2022, the second Monday at Wimbledon was often called "Manic Monday", because it is the busiest day with the last-16 matches for both men's and women's singles, where fans have a pick of watching on a single day, any of the best 32 players left; which is also unique in a Grand Slam singles competition.
like so:

message: Is there a source for the description of Roddenberry in the intro as a philosopher and a futurist? Wikipedia's "Futurist" article describes futurists as scientists, social scientists, or people who have been consulted by private and public organizations about the future. As far as I know, Roddenberry has never been a consultant on anything other than the arts (specifically film and television). Also, though there are many philosophical ideas reflected in Star Trek episodes, Roddenberry was not, himself, known as a philosopher. He certainly had a philosophy, but so does everyone else, and while his ideas were progressive, none of them were new and original contributions to any philosophic study. His award from the AHA is an arts award rather than a pioneer award for a reason. I'm not even sure "populistic" is a word ("populist" is the adjectival form of "populism").
