Talk:Sitcom

message: Maybe this is a national difference, but I remember clearly that in the 1950's and later (until "sitcom" took over completely) in the U.S. the name was "situation comedy", not "situational comedy".  I added that to the article.  I don't have a source, but there is no source anyway, so it's just as well justified as "situational comedy".  Zaslav (talk) 06:30, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick Google search for definitions turns up definitions of "situation comedy" (Cambridge English Dictionary, for example) but not for "situational comedy".  I believe "-al" is a historical error and should be changed.  (By my personal experience, for what it's worth, "-al" seems to be believed by young people who were not around when the term was widely used.)  Zaslav (talk) 06:33, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Bach flower remedies

message: I'm just wondering why this article and other systematic reviews do not reference the alcohol in the solutions. It's not an inconsiderable strength and the alcohol may have a very real affect - I've not found any reference to this in any of the peer reviewed literature - can anyone else find anything on this? It strikes me the method of saying it is a placebo effect is invalid as the placebo in this paper also contained alcohol - so perhaps the test should be for micro-dosing brandy! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S088761850100069X Jack Nunn 03:30, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Regarding the Unreferenced tag

message: A distant relative of William Penn? This is unreferenced and I've read other sources that say this is simply a unfounded but common assumption about the Penns of Virginia. Ftjrwrites (talk) 20:34, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Doubt claim of relation to William Penn 

message: A reliable source is needed to clear up confusion regarding John Penn's date of birth.
A recent edit changed the infobox DoB from 1741-5-17 to 1740-5-04, leaving the death date unchanged at 1788-9-14, and leaving the lead unchanged with "(May 17, 1741 – September 14, 1788)". I will revert that edit because it accidentally broke the template and because no reference was given, other than an edit summary saying "Fixed the birth date to match is headstone".
Find a grave has a photo of a plaque erected in 2014 saying "John Penn May 6, 1740 – Sept 14, 1788". There is no indication whether the birth date is old style or new style. I cannot find a photo of the headstone.
Old Style and New Style dates suggests that in the US, Sep 2, 1752 was followed by Sep 14, 1752. That is, what would have been Sep 3 became Sep 14 giving the rule that 11 is added to an old style date to get its new style equivalent.
Signing of the United States Declaration of Independence#List of signers has links to other signatories. A few that I looked at had different ways of reporting old style/new style dates.
The reference (1829) says Penn was born May 17, 1741. I don't see any indication of whether that is old or new style.
Is any better reference available? Johnuniq (talk) 07:22, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Associate degree is also recommended by the AP style guide (although Chicago allows either associate or associate's).

thread_title: Is this article too simplistic?

message: I once read that in Russian, since there are no articles, a word is placed at the end of a sentence to emphasize its singularity, like the function of our definite article.  Is this true? If it is, does the same apply for Latin, since Latin contains no articles?--67.184.163.248 17:18, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not true, for the most part. Although Latin also has no compulsory articles, certain adjectives can intensify a noun, or the use of a noun where normally one would be understood may result in added emphasis to specific words in a passage. Often in the language, words may be omitted where they might be superfluous, or they may be reinserted to signify their importance. Furthermore, one can infer from context if puer should be translated as "a boy" or "the boy". J. Finkelstein 06:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi. In reference to this part of the Stylistic changes paragraph "It was the first Roland drum machine to use samples (prerecorded sounds), for its cymbal and hi-hat sounds; other sounds are generated with analog synthesis", i understood the Roland TR range was purely analogue and didn't use any samples at all until the TR707 in 1984 Can anyone else please confim this?

replies: text: Hi Popcornduff, thanks for that, on the second ref: Keyboard presents the evolution of electronic dance music. Backbeat Books. ISBN 978-1-61713-446-3  it goes on to say that in 1983 when the machine was produced, the Crash Cymbal, the Ride Cymbal and Hi-hat were sampled. So in the main Article the Cymbals could be augmented to include both the Crash and Ride cymbals.Ijustwannabeawinner (talk) 10:45, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The previous text used "cymbals" to refer to both the crash and ride cymbal sounds, but as a hi-hat is technically also a kind of cymbal, this was probably confusing. I've amended the article to explicitly state that the hi-hat, cymbal and ride sounds are all samples. That should be clearest. Popcornduff (talk) 15:12, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:John De Hart

message: Many on-line and other sources list John as  being born about 1728. This comes from interpreting the monument at his grave. It notes his date of death, and says that he died in his LXVII year of age. (1795 minus 67 = 1728). I do have two sources for the date and ancestry used here. Most of his family gave the name as DeHart in one word, but John used two. I've used De Hart in Wikipedia, to match the Continental Congress Journals and other sources.

Talk:Military dictatorship

message: Just following up with a few introductory comments on the lead in response to the request at Milhist for a quick opinion on suitability for FAC.
*"known as a strongman" is unnecessary and a generalisation, it could be deleted.
*"The military nominally seeks power to restore order or fight corruption, but the personal motivations of military officers will vary." is completely unsustainable on the basis of the wider literature and practical examples. Their intent varies widely, but like all rulers, power is at the core of what they do. Altruism comes a long way behind personal power, gain etc.
*"and the military is often willing to give up power voluntarily rather than have the military destabilized" on what basis has that been concluded? 
*"Military dictatorships are less involved in political affairs than other regimes, with their policy mainly directed toward benefiting the military as an institution" is completely unsupportable.
