Talk:Classical sculpture

message: I think there should be a main page for archaic sculptures as well as hellenistic sculptures.  Those types of sculptures play a large role in the art of Greece.  Ckholmes5 14:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's something of a confusion of terms here. It's not clear if "classical" refers to the period within the development Greek sculpture ca. 500 to 300 BC and its influence (and if so why include the archaic?) or is "classical" means the sculpture of classical antiquity in toto (and if that is the case why no Greek proto-Archaic?) I suggest the page be moved to Sculpture of ancient Greece and the Roman period be dealt with seperately. Twospoonfuls 06:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see there already is a page for Roman sculpture, so this wouldn't be major surgery. It would also put WP in line with the treatment in other encyclopedias. Twospoonfuls 07:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Something in the opening line would be useful to clarify that "classical sculpture" refers to both the Greek period, and ancient Greco-Roman sculpture in general. The term is standardised, so it should stay in the encyclopedia in this form. But a more detailed separate page on Ancient Greek sculpture would be useful. The heading "Sculpture in ancient Greece" might be a bit too restrictive since it appears to exclude the Greek colonies of Anatolia, N. Africa and Italy. --Theranos 11:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

text: In classical archaeology, the Classical era lasted from 480-323 B.C., beginning with Xerxes' invasion and ending with the death of Alexander.  While the latter boundary can be a little fuzzy, and while some of the artistic developments that defined classical sculpture were in development slightly beforehand, it is definitely an improper use of the term to refer to 6th century sculpture as Classical. Additionally, some very useful source texts would include Pollitt's Art and Experience in Classical Greece and Boardman's "Greek Sculpture: the Classical Period" and "Greek Sculpture: the Late Classical Period."  Pollitt's book has an excellent treatment of the distinction between classical antiquity in general(Greece and Rome), modern connotations for the word classic, and the Classical period of Greek art and archaeology.(129.170.152.204 06:58, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Waptia

message: Since "marginal has a number of irrelevant associations, the jargon terminology needs to be explained  in a brief phrase, or substituted for the descriptive phrase that a non-professional would recognize. I'd have done this myself if I'd been capable. --Wetman (talk) 00:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried but can't figure out what the author meant as well. No explanation is given and "marginal" can mean anything from being located at the margins of the body (as in eurypterids and trilobites) to ommatidia being arranged in the margins of the eye (as in crustaceans). Lacking clarification, I thought it best to simply use the words the author used.-- Obsidi♠n Soul 02:05, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  GA Review 

message: In the article is written: "Brassey built the Oslo to Bergen Railway of 56 miles (90 km)". The article Bergen Line says: "The first documented idea of building a railway between Norway's two largest cities was launched by Hans Gløersen on 24 August 1871". That is after Brassey's death! Clausthal (talk) 11:20, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's interesting.  I took the information from Charles Walker's biography of Brassey and assumed it was reliable, but it cannot, as you say, be correct; I also suspect that the distance between the two cities is more than 90 km.  In List of structures built by Thomas Brassey (also based on Walker) it is called "Norwegian Railway" with a length of 90 km.  This leads me to think that it was the "Norwegian Trunk Railway" or Hoved Line.  This line is said to have been built by Robert Stephenson, but he was an engineer rather than a contractor, and it is quite possible that the line was surveyed and designed by Stephenson, while the actual building work was supervised by Brassey, as contractor.  The facts do not quite fit; the Hoved Line is 68 km rather than 90 km, and was opened in 1854 rather than 1851, but I think it is a likely possibility.  What do others think? Peter I.

Talk:Root (linguistics)

message: I am not a Linguist; I have been acquiring an overview of Linguistics concepts mostly through Wikipedia.
In the article about Root (linguistics), I found the following information:
Roots can be either free morphemes or bound morphemes. Root morphemes are essential for affixation and compounds.
The root of a word is a unit of meaning (morpheme) (...)
In Linguistics, is "root" a synonym of "morpheme"? The article seems to say so. If that is the case, the articles Root (linguistics) and Morpheme should be merged. Otherwise, the difference between them should be better expressed in both articles. --Antonielly 15:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:That's All Very Well But...

message: this album was originally due for release as SEPT9 on single vinyl only. 25 test pressings were made then September ceased to trade and sold the rights to Midnight Music, who never released it either. It contains all tracks from their 1st two peel sessions including 'Peregrine Worsthorne'. A sleeve was designed by Tim Gane but the artwork was lost in a flood. The one side of the album was entitled 'that's all very well but' and the other side 'the international narcotics traffic', there were two 'front sleeves' and the spine would be read both ways, so it was 2 lp's in one. I ran September records and pressed this record, and I had forgotten about it until I just found it in the basement, still unplayed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.3.103 (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Davi Kopenawa Yanomami

message: This article takes a blatantly partisan approach to the subject of the controversies around anthropological work among the Yanomamo, in particular, this sentence:
Chagnon's views in this matter were criticized by investigative journalist Patrick Tierney in his much-defamed book Darkness in El Dorado
Tierney's work is in fact hugely controversial, to the point where the American Anthropological Association has renounced its previous Darkness in Eldorado report that was largely based on his work. One can, of course, fix this one sentence quite easily, but I think it is strongly symptomatic of larger problems of bias in this article. I believe the entire article should be reviewed, with a view toward being NPOV on the Yanomamo research controversy, and less hagiographic toward its subject overall.

replies: text: Karls Lokotsch tried in the past to prove that the name "Amazonas" (Amazons, in English) comes from indigenous origin, and not from Greek, he affirmed that it was a way for the Indians to refer to the Amazon River, a Brazilian novelist in the beginning of the 20th century, called Gastão Cruls, affirmed that the Spaniards came across an indigenous tribe, whose name was "Icamiaba", this tribe, according to him, was composed of women, even without stating such evidence all these facts were revealed as absolute truths, what is the purpose of this? Sell books only. At no time were there even any reports that the Indians killed each other because of women or because the more male Indians could procreate and have more children. Such scientific data collected in a doubtful manner by the supposed anthropologist in question has always been contested by scientists and by people who have always had contact with these Indians. During the 60's and 70's many statements about Amazonia were fanciful and built as truths without the consent of the Amazonian people in question, so the myth of the "lung of the world", "the 20% oxygen of the Earth", "the largest forest in the world", "the cannibals", "brutal savage", among other fanciful myths was built. The text needs a more reliable translation, someone has incorporated this article here thinking that it could contribute, but I do not see the need to put a band of neutraly, I suggest following the Portuguese translation that is much improved and should follow the parameters of the data following the verifiability policy within the portal. This is an encyclopedia and not a source of conspiracy that one invents a theory and tries to prove, the theories of this scientist are not accepted by most members of the academic community in Brazil.--WikiUser22222 (talk) 05:15, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Naty Botero

message: While I agree that this article is quite weak, it does seem to meet the criteria for speedy deletion. It seems as if the reason is A7, though I believe the high ranking of songs and appearance on international broadcasts would reach that bar. Perhaps an AfD is more appropriate, specifically WP:MUSIC. A review of those criterion indicate that this article is not a good candidate for deletion. She meets specific criteria 1, 2, 3, and 10 of that notability category. What remains is a poorly written (by me) article that appropriately deserves stub status, but does not meet any of the guidelines for deletion--speedy or otherwise.

message: I hope I don't cause more controversy but it does seem to me that Špilár is the more correct and more informative version.  Mr. Nygaard points out that because non-czech or slovak teams don't use diacritics on umiforms the world knows the players as Nedved, Rosicky and Cech instead of Nedvěd, Rosický and Čech.  My first thought is that only Čech has the "critical" diacritic that has a very distinguishable pronunciation difference for English speakers.  It is pronounced "Czech" not cech.  Similarly Špilár differs from Spilar.  Špilár, pronounced shpee-LAR, sounds like it derives from the German word for player and that information is lost when the Spilar spelling is employed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.168.222.5 (talk) 01:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

We have

which lists all Route 225's in the country. From that page it lists
Nevada State Route 225 
New York State Route 225 
North Carolina Highway 225

Then, we have links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_State_Route_225
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Highway_225_%28Texas%29
Seems inconsistent... Why isn't it
Texas_State_Highway_225
or
Texas_State_Route_225
We have State_Highway, State_Route ... but the base topic is RT 225 Should that be State RT 225?
Perhaps the URL's aren't important, as long as the disambiguation page is correct? But I think the disambiguation page does give some recommended URL naming conventions?
RT_225 (Texas)
RT_225 (Nevada)
Then of course we have to decide if the higher level disambiguation page is State Route 225 or RT 225 or Route 225 or State Highway 225 ? I don't know who makes those higher level decisions and sees that they are applied consistently, as best anything can in a free authoring environment like this.
