Talk:The Scene That Celebrates Itself

Talk:Channapatna toys

message: Hi!  I hope you don't mind the edits I've made.  One of the things I changed was the wikilink pointing to LACQUERWARE; it now points to LACQUER because that article seemed more appropriate -- particularly because there's a picture of Channapatna-made whistles right at the top of the page!  This is an interesting bit of information -- and I learned my new thing for the day!  Thanks, MeegsC 16:36, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I hadn't noticed that you'd changed the link from lacquerware to lacquer, as I've just changed it back without noticing your comment.

Talk:Le duc d'Albe

message: I have re-added a simplified version of the infobox and copyedited the lead. I created this article, and am one of its major editors. At the time, we had no suitable infobox for operas, although one has since been developed by Wikiproject Opera and is now used in over 350 articles on individual operas. A relevant image from the opera is appropriate and an improvement. The basic facts at a glance, are helpful to the reader, and certainly not detrimental to the article. The navigation to Donizetti's other works already appears at the bottom of the page, the standard location for such navigation bars, and does not need to be repeated at the top of the page.

From this result I move this page to Retired Emperor (title) and change a little bit the content to correspond with the title. Grenouille vert (talk) 21:35, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Neither term is really in wide usage. I think the rationale behind using "Taishang Huang" in the first place was because there was no single dominant name in English. It is not uncommon to have a title of a page in a non-English language. One such example is "Laogai", known in English as "Re-education through labour". Colipon+(Talk) 12:16, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is this title was also used in Japan, Korea and Vietnam, for example in Vietnam it was called "Thái thượng hoàng" or "Thượng hoàng" (as the article told) so using the Chinese name "Taishang Huang" is not appropriate. I'm writing a series of Trần Dynasty emperors and in the English sources that I have, no author uses the name "Taishang Huang" while this position occured very often at that time.

Talk:Allan H. Meltzer

message: "He served on the Council of Economic Advisors for both Presidents Kennedy and Ronald Reagan."  This statement does not seem to be supported by the following list of past members of the Council, upon which AM's name does not appear:  http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/cea/about/Former-Members.  
Perhaps he was a staff member, as opposed to serving as a member of the CEA per se, but this would seem to require clarification.  Nandt1 (talk) 19:38, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Meltzer and the Council of Economic Advisers

message: A recent edit to this article had removed the reference to AM's initial response to the Lehmann rescue (which I can only read as approving), thus camouflaging his apparent subsequent reversal on the issue.  Retouching the record to make ourselves appear more internally consistent is something we would no doubt all like to do to our own published writings, but it is surely not an appropriate approach to editing an avowedly objective reference work like Wikipedia, and I have restored the missing quote, while trying to make the language around the quote more neutral in tone than the earlier entry.  (N.B., I should make it clear that in what I wrote above I did not mean to imply that the edit had been made by Meltzer himself).
Likewise, a reference to Krugman's critique of AM's inflation prediction had been eliminated.  I have restored a reference to the fact of Krugman's challenge, while dropping the arguably more provocative language of the original entry with its reference to PK's characterization of AM as an "ostrich".

Talk:2001 Masters (snooker)

message: cuetracker has Williams scoring a century in this match, 102 in frame 4. This is incorrect. The Sun for 8 February has an article "Fergal marks up win at last - Snooker" in which it says "... But O'Brien buried those bitter memories as he fired in breaks of 102, 99 and 88 on his way to a nail-biting 6-5 victory. O'Brien, who clinched victory with a 53 break in the decider ..." The Mirror says "He repeatedly outscored Williams including a century in frame three and 99 in the penultimate frame" The Times also refers to a 53 break in the final frame by O'Brien. Indeed it's clear there's a problem with cuetracker since the frame-by-frame score has O'Brien 6-3 up and then Williams winning the last 2 frames, which makes no sense. Embarrassingly it did said O'Brien until I changed it in 2015. Nigej (talk) 12:09, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
