Talk:Monschau

message: Hello. I am neither a local nor a German locations expert so you might be able to shut me up quite quickly, but do we really need all this in the first sentence?
*Monschau is a small resort town in the Eifel region of western Germany, located in the Aachen district of North Rhine-Westphalia. 
That seems to me to be five descriptive terms for where it is. Bad Münder am Deister gets away with a mere three:
*Bad Münder is a town in the Hamelin-Pyrmont district, Lower Saxony, Germany.
... which seems to me to be more reasonable. It says where it is but doesn't have to stop for breath and retake before a second instalment. The current Monschau description kind of reminds me of going Tenbury Crescent, Preston Grange, North Shields, Tynemouth, Tyne & Wear, England, UK, Europe, Earth etc or whatever. But maybe the way it is now is in necessary compliance with the MOS for German places, or something? I probably ought to go and read up on this but, if you know the answer and get there first, please do enlighten me. I'm certainly not planning to edit it without some proper basis for doing so; its many descriptors are thus safe from me for the time being and possibly for ever!

Talk:Montabaur

message: First, 'Sons and daughters of the town' is not an encyclopaedic category - it is 'tourism speak', a form of tourism advertising which, in my view, is a type of weasel words and of puffery. For more, see WP:PEA and WP:WEASEL. The section-heading 'Notable residents' is all that is needed here. I propose, therefore, that the subsection heading of 'Sons and daughters of the town' needs to be removed. Second, while I'm not going to state his name here, there is currently an edit war to include and then to remove, to include and then to remove, the name of the most notable person of recent years associated with Montabaur. There needs to be an intelligent debate about this matter. I propose that there be a discussion here in Talk:Montabaur about the inclusion of the person's name under the heading 'Notable residents', where the person is referred to in Talk:Montabaur only by his initials. (Otherwise, when it comes to external search engines, it rather defeats the object of the discussion). Given that there is currently a Wikipedia entry for this person, that has not been merged into another Wikipedia article, despite a proposal to do so, I contend that this person currently meets, de facto, the notability criterion for entry in Wikipedia. If this person does meet the Wikipedia notability criterion, WP:N, then the person's name needs to be included in the Montabaur article. This is because there is no dispute that he was once a resident of the place, and by all accounts grew up in Montabaur.121.222.7.44 (talk) 06:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Mühlhausen was first mentioned in 967, not in 775 as you can read here, in the German wikipedia or in any trustable history book.

thread_title: Full names of research assistants?

message: For a "classic" such as this book series, it would be desirable to have a collection of errata. Since the official web-site at California Institute of Technology does not list any errata (and the scans of the books they offer for download do not contain errata sheets as well), let's at least try to find the most complete set of errata sheets. Overview (based on my own samples of these books and the scans available from Caltech and nrbook.com):
* Higher Transcendental Functions I: 4 errata pages with a total of 75 entries (found in print runs labelled "III" and "8 9 10 11 12 13 HD 9 8 7" (the latter one offered for download as scan from the nrbook.com site)).
* Higher Transcendental Functions II: 1 errata page with a total of 14 entries (found in print runs labelled "III 19546" and "7 8 9 10 11 12 13 HL 9 8 7 6" (the latter one offered for download as scan from the nrbook.com site)).
* Higher Transcendental Functions III: no known errata sheets (found in print runs labelled "II" and "VI 19547" (the latter one offered for download as scan from the nrbook.com site)).
* Integral Transforms I: 1 errata page with 16 entries (found in print runs labelled "11-12-MAMM-76" and "10-MAMM-2" (the latter one offered for download as scan from the nrbook.com site)).
* Integral Transforms II: no known errata page (found in print run labelled "19950 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16-MAMM-7654" (offered for download as scan from the nrbook.com site)).
Does someone know of more comprehensive errata sheets?

Talk:Kalos inscription

message: Well, actually it is questionable whether kalos inscriptions have a better survival rate than kale inscriptions.

Talk:Shakuhachi musical notation

message: Hi.  New article here.  The main musical notation article is growing long and has a strong emphasis on Western staff notation and I think this article can expand into a useful one in its own way.  Some ideas for expansion:
* images
:* different schools of notation
:* honkyoku versus folk/ensemble/modern
:* imporant to keep in mind the copyrighted nature of most notation
:* possibly a comparison of a phrase of shakuhachi notation and the staff notated near-equivalent
* wikilinks to existing relevant shakuhachi articles (e.g. meri/kari, etc.)
* history of temple-based pieces, the verbal traditions, etc. leading up to written notation (e.g. Kinko)

thread_title:  composers of the 20th century 

message: For reasons I've explained more fully at Talk:Sacred Harp#Internal Inconsistencies and Ongoing Issues%3A Origin of music%2C scope and organization of coverage, I've added a sidebar to this page.
There are some big issues about the overall organization of Wikipedia's coverage of this subject matter and how to organize it into various articles. I think it's really important for editors involved in this group of articles to discuss the subject and come to a consensus, because the current state of affairs can be very confusing in some respects. Various people have occasionally brought these problems up on various talk pages, but I'm hoping everyone might congregate at the talk section above and figure out some solutions to disentangling these interrelated topics and organizing them into a sensible group of articles.  
I see a particularly obvious example of these problems in this article: while the introduction is quite clear that "This article is a historical overview and listing of the composers and poets who wrote the songs and texts of The Sacred Harp.", the title might lead one to believe that this article would be a list of composers and poets of "Sacred Harp"-style music, not only those whose work is included in the book The Sacred Harp.
