Talk:Echos

message: Very good article concerning the ideas (relation to makamlar in the Fanariot tradition of the Ottoman empire), it should be elaborated and the sources should be clarified.
Why medieval? It is rather a musicological than a medievist topic. But indeed, there are also relations from  medieval times:

thread_title:  Note for music/media articles 

message: I deleted the adjective "western-oriented" as an attribute of his reform. I once thought like this myself — mainly because of a solfeggio based on 7 syllables which caused indeed a corruption of the older "polysyllabic solfeggio" as Chrysanthos liked to call it. Nevertheless, it could be as well interpreted as an orientation to the Ottoman fret system and he also mentioned in his "Theoretikon mega" more western-oriented candidates like him who had been refused by the Patriarchate (by the Phanariotes) for this very reason. You find literature concerned with this issue in the article dedicated to him and please feel welcome to fill its empty spaces.
If you insist, please revert my change, but insert a note as well, that it is a controversial subject. Chrysanthos' concern with the makamlar makes his treatise very close to those others about exoteric music, although his main concern were rather technical problems of how to indicate a different intonation of echos pitch classes. Compared with Keltzanides one might regard Chrysanthos' approach as rather superficial (I do not know, if he ever tried to notate makam seyirler), but it meant nothing less that the reform notation was created as a universal notation system of Ottoman music from the very beginning of the notation reform and its introduction as print types. And the numerous Greek print publications of the century, whether patriotic or exoteric, do confirm this intention --Platonykiss (talk) 08:38, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Template talk:Non-free stamp

message: I notice that back in January 2006 JYolkowski added the following line to the bottom of this template: To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
I don't have a problem with the first part of that statement, but I object to the request that the uploader include "the source of the work and copyright information."  As images tagged with this template are by definition stamps, the rightsholder is always going to be the nation that issued the stamp.  But more to the point, it is unnecessary to ask the uploader to identify the source of the actual image.  Just as there is no need to identify the source of images of two-dimentional art that is in the public domain (see Template:PD-art), there is no need to identify the source of the image for the stamp.  The copyright subsists in the original object only (the stamp or the old painting), it does not subsist in the image of the object.  I hesitate to change a template that others have been working on, and perhaps there is some policy that I'm unaware of, but please think about this. Crypticfirefly 01:28, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

message: In my opionion the source http://www.atlanterhavstunnelen.no is reliable since it is maintained by the company responsible for the project, owned by the county and municipality.

thread_title: Primary sources

message: I propose that the article name be changed from:

replies: text: I was initially attracted to this article because I thought it was a variation of Transatlantic Tunnel.  As for that specific name, it's not terribly helpful to non-natives.  How about Norwegian Atlantic Ocean Tunnel?

Talk:West Union Covered Bridge (Indiana)

message: I suggest that some clarification is needed on the length of the bridge.  I have seen it described as 306, 315, and 334 feet long. But the prevailing veiw seems to be

Talk:Progressive muscular atrophy

message: In the past several weeks I have had periodic episodes of mild to severe and complete weakness in my right arm and right leg.  For hours at a time I have been unable to even stand or walk using my right leg.  I am trying to determine what is wrong with me as I have no health insurance to cover seeing a neurologist.  Motor neuron disease seems to fit my symptoms but I'm sure there are other diseases that would fit these symptoms as well.

Talk:Surveillance system monitor

message: This article states "the occupation of Surveillance System Monitor does not exist in significant numbers [8] in the nation's economy."  In an effort to further refute the listing by the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, it would be pertinent to know where  information regarding the existence of studies which prove that the Surveillance-System Monitor occupation can be found and used to raise this argument at hearing on behalf of the disabled worker.  Research into these findings would significantly benefit the representative of the worker during questioning of the vocation expert who makes the claim at the time of hearing that such a position is available, thereby attempting to skew the Administrative Law Judge's opinion as to the total disability of the worker because of relevant employment available for that person. (----)
Several vocational experts have, over the years, presented their findings at NOSSCR (http://www.nosscr.org/) conventions and/or provided opinions to individual attorneys.  Thus, the studies are not easily available. (66.184.181.74 16:48, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Ukrainian nationalism played a major role in course of the World War I???? Who invented that? What is the point of such fact even to mention in this article? Is this a scientific analysis or a simple speculation by a historian-amateur? What about the Pan Slavism, Moskvophilism, and other ideological currents that did exist in this period of time and place? Why is that being simply omitted? But yea, those Ukrainian nationalists again deserted all of the Central Europe killing all the Jews, Poles, Russians, Austrians, Romanians, Australians, Papua New-Guineans.... What is that all about, truthfully? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 07:06, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Ukrainian nationalism was on the cultural level and there were simply attempts to attain a possibility to express oneself. When the Bolsheviks took power in Petrograd no one wanted to deal with those lunatics. And when Austrians withdrew from Galicia, Ukrainians proclaimed independence only on the territories where Ukrainian population was predominant. Even the Carpatho-Ukraine waited until the break of the World War II in hope to get the international recognition. Today it seems that Ukrainians are somebody who always do not like anybody and their country is in complete disorder and with no law. In reality is far from the truth. The Ukrainian nationalism could not influence neither of the World Wars or anything in similar regard. The Ukrainian People's Republic political platform was federalism with Russia and possibility to speak in native language. That where the Ukrainian nationalism ends.

message: The section 'I need help improving an article. What help is available?' has this sentence: "GA reviews are carried out by one editor per article, while FA reviews employ consensus". What do you think about changing the word 'editor' to 'reviewer'?
It seems like we are simply referring to a general Wikipedia editor. But in the context of GA reviews, the person is specifically acting as a reviewer. Using 'reviewer' seems more clear. We also say this in the previous sentence: "if the editor believes the article is of high quality". There we use 'editor' to refer to the person asking for feedback. It seems it would be more clear to avoid using 'editor' to also refer to the GA reviewer in the very next sentence. Thoughts? --Culix (talk) 07:12, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Beauchamp

message: I believe the following summary description is more accurate 
*Scott Thomas Beauchamp, an American army private who made allegations of misconduct by himself and other soldiers in 2007
than the one edited by Eleemosynary
*Scott Thomas Beauchamp, an American soldier who published a series on controversial articles about the conduct of US soldiers in Iraq
The most significant change is from "conduct of US soldiers in Iraq" to "allegations of misconduct by himself and other soldiers."
# They are allegations and have not been independently verified by other journalists.  The Army reported the results of its own investigation which failed to find any supporting evidence or testimony for the allegations.  Beauchamp has the burden of proof.
# The stories, if true, not only incriminate "US soldiers" but include the admission of the participation by the author himself.
# As a matter of accuracy and clarity, the substance of the stories is not conduct but misconduct.
# "Iraq" is not the correct the location of the alleged misconduct in the most shocking story.  The New Republic itself issued a correction -- that one of the alleged incidents took place in Kuwait before Beauchamp entered Iraq.

thread_title: A dispute over the wording in a disambiguation page

message: This is a disambiguation page and the manual of style is quite clear here: "For people, include their birth and death years (when known), and only enough descriptive information that the reader can distinguish between different people with the same name". So the idea is to avoid any discussion as above here at all and leave it to the article itself. Given that most other Beauchamps are British nobles, referring to "Scott Thomas Beauchamp (born 1983), American soldier", would be sufficient. Moreover, there is no Bio, but just a redirect, but so also something like "Scott Thomas Beauchamp, see Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy" might be fine will ask for clarification what the controversy is about... --Tikiwont 18:56, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
