Talk:The Physician's Tale

message: Hi, not a Wikipedia editor ever, and I’m being run over by work and don’t have time to be, so please pardon any use mistakes. However I’m on a bit of a late night wiki binge and I’ve two bits of concern in the intro section:
1. Having have read the thing myself, the usage of “domestic drama” in the opening feels a little wrong — typically the text would be conceived of as a moral drama or legal drama, I believe. Off of the top of my head, the Cambridge Chaucer companion calls it a human drama (page 188). That feels like an important distinction.
2. Though “The Physician's Tale is widely considered by Chaucerian scholars to be a failure, largely due to its convoluted moral message,” is attributed to perfectly fine articles, I gave both a read-over and found that this gloss might be incorrect or slanted (couldn’t find that meaning in either article). The first reference discusses Chaucer’s (the character) moral disappointment with the work, not the author, though the distinction is a bit oblique and I can see where the error comes up. The second references the convolution, but ascribes no value judgements. Perhaps the statement of failure comes from an interpretation of the plot? But if it is, that needs to be clarified, I think.
Apologies if either of these comments break Wikipedia formatting rules or anything. I truly haven’t the foggiest what I’m doing and I’ve not the time to learn so I’m putting this out on the talk in good faith for someone else to maybe pick up.

message: In the article, it says "He also set the modern-day NHL record by scoring six goals in a game on February 3, 1944, versus the New York Rangers, a record which has since been twice equaled but never bettered in over fifty years of play" but in the next paragraph it says "In a February 3, 1944 game against the New York Rangers, Howe scored six goals in a single game, a total that has been surpassed only once when Joe Malone scored seven." Which is true? I would fix this myself but I don't know anything about this. --Lizzysama (talk) 22:23, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Malone scored seven goals in a 1920 game when the NHL itself was but a few years old.  I suppose that the playing conditions and rules (e.g., offside passes) were considered different enough that six goals in a game has been recognized as the "modern" record ever since.

thread_title: Interface - Editing 

message: The Meta Wiki CSS class="Wikitable" contains the property "border-collapse=collapse". A number of browsers (IE6, NN7, Mozilla, Konq2.2, Safari, OW4.5) state partial support of it, but I don't have them all to check. IE6 doesn't have a problem, yet Firefox (all versions to 2) does not always draw all the vertical cell borders, and often large "wikitables" appear with partially drawn cell border. On reload, sometimes the problem is fixed, sometimes remains same or becomes worse. Either Mozilla has to fix the bug, or another way of defining the same style, without border-collapse, should be used. I've posted in Meta Wiki about it, but many Firfox users simply don't get this problem, so I don't know if it will be noticed. I keep checking on other computers using Firefox, to see if I can locate some additional flow that causes this instability. If anyone knows more about it, please help locate and fix the problem.

Talk:D-flat major

message: 30-May-2007: In 2006/2007, Wikipedia images required both attributes "thumb|250px" to show a caption, as in:
::: 
By itself, size "250px" ignores the caption "My picture" (confusing many people), which is considered bad form in computer languages (should warn & be corrected rather than ignore).  Just remember to include "thumb" for a caption in an image-link.
Image hints in 2007:
* Limit most images to "thumb|300px" to avoid crowded text-wrapping.
* A small image followed directly by a big image often chops text.
* To resize larger than the original ("oversizing"), omit "thumb" (oversized images cannot have captions in 2007, yet).
* Beware "left|thumb" (for "right|"), because left-side images appear immediately to left of the text.
* Most images (99.99%) should be quick JPEG for rapid display.
* Avoid resizing PNG images (2007): might become 10x larger resized.
Overall, omitting "thumb" is the most common problem.
There are many formatting issues in the Wiki software (used worldwide), with a long list of problems to fix, but in the software world, errors often persist, only to be upstaged by a totally radical new software version, rather than just fixing the irritating problems fast.  Note that numerous software systems (not just Wiki) have frustrating issues for years. -Wikid77 16:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The merge debate goes back to '05 (see: Talk:Endergonic).  The result of the debate was to not merge.  Moreover, it is standard protocol, e.g. according to both The Essential Dictionary of Science (Clark 2004) and the A to Z Dictionary of Thermodynamics (Perrot 1998), to have separate entries for such closely-related but subtly-different topics such as:
:*Exothermic – a process or reaction that involves the release of energy; usually in the form of heat.
:*Exothermic reaction – a chemical reaction in which heat is give out.
As well as for the other terms: endothermic, endothermic reaction, etc.  For example, the melting of an ice-cube is an endothermic process; combustion evolves an exothermic reaction, warm-blooded animals are endothermic, arguing with other Wikipedians is an endergonic activity, etc.  Help us expand on these separate stubs, but please don't merge.

Talk:French Renaissance

message: I think that it is sort of close minded to consider the French Renaissance to begin with the French invasion of Italy in 1494. I mean have you heard of the Western Schism? Avignon was a central hub of Western Europe and had a library well stocked with books from classical antiquity and modern Italy alike. Italian art and poetry was all the rage there and many Italians immigrated to the area. I mean sure this all sort of faded away (or moved east to the Kingdom of Burgundy) after the Council of Constance ended the Western Schism in 1417 and the 100 Years War started to wear down the culture, but come on... The French were right there with the Italians as far as Renaissances go from 1378-1417, no doubt. Considering how really cool the French Renaissance was (see below :-) I wish that somebody would hit this article up the way that it deserves to be.
:All divisions into strict "periods" (renaissance, manierist, baroque, modern, etc.) are a little questionable... especially for this period (see for example Johan Huizinga's The Autumn of the Middle Ages).  For this reason, the History of France subpage is broader in scope: Early Modern France.  The choice of the French invasion of Italy as a starting point for the French Renaissance is however traditional... although it depends a lot on what aspect of the Renaissance one is speaking of : publishing, humanism, architecture, visual arts, music, poetry, romance... (note that the French Renaissance literature page addresses the issue of humanistic and Italian literature and its impact on French literature).  It sometimes also depends on your definition of "France" (Provence was not incorporated into the French royal domain until 1481 under Louis XI of France). 
:This being said, why don't you include a section on the period before the invasion of Italy on this page, but be specific about what specific techniques were brought to France, by whom and when (architectural forms, oil painting, single-point perspective).  If you have specific issues with literature of the 14th and 15th centuries, then flesh out the appropriate sections in Medieval French literature.
