Talk:List of 20th-century classical composers by name

message: How much did he write after 1910? I believe that's our baseline here. (Admittedly Reger - and Debussy at that- only sneak in when considered that way despite the 'modern' sound of their music, but they do sneak in nonetheless...  Liszt doesn't despite his late works, nor Wagner, despite their influence on music ever since...) Schissel - bowl listen 15:23, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
:He did write some stuff — I had to look it up though.  Operas include Il piccolo Marat in 1921, and Nerone in 1935 (which the Grove calls "an unconsciously ironic tribute to Mussolini.")  There's also some songs and some other miscellaneous music. Literally he's a 20th century classical composer, so it's ok with me if he's on this list, even though it's a little jarring to see his name here since the music for which he is renowned is all 19th century.

thread_title: As for including Mascagni

message: I noticed that Bob Dylan is on this list of 20th century classical composers. But nowhere in Dylan's fairly extensive article do I find any reference to his composition of "classical" (i.e. Western art) music. Certainly Dylan is an extremely talented songwriter, but does he actually belong on this page of classical composers? I'm not familiar enough with Dylan's work to immediately make the change and remove him from this list, but someone please let me know if he in fact did write some classical music. If not, I don't believe he should be kept on this list. It probably wouldn't hurt to scour this list for other similar musicians/songwriters being classified as classical composers, I'm sure there's a list where they all belong but this may not be it.

replies: text: There's a fairly extensive article on him in the New Grove, and there's not a single mention of any "classical" work.  The nearest approach he seems to have made to "classical" music was his receipt of an honorary doctorate in music from Princeton in 1990.  I'm taking him off of this list.

Talk:Harry S Truman

message: :Properly, the "S" in Harry S Truman should have no period after it. "S" is not an abbreviation for a middle name; it is his middle name, itself.
This is a really dubious claim.  The "S." is a compromise between his two grandfathers, and so one could claim that it is an abbreviation for both names, and that he doesn't have a middle "name", only a middle initial.  Therefore, referring to it as a full name (by not including the period) is improper.
You'll note that the Truman Library refers to him as "Harry S. Truman".  -- RobLa 19:48 Nov 30, 2002 (UTC)
So... shouldn't Harry S Truman be the redirect page, and Harry S. Truman the article? Needs a sysop to do it. -- Someone else 07:57 Mar 9, 2003 (UTC)
I think writing Harry S Truman without a period is ludicrous. S may not be an appreviation but it was intended to be used as such. No-one ever intended S to be treated as a name in itself. STÓD/ÉÍRE 00:18 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)

::I myself am a southern thing, but if you read the article to which this talk page is attached,  you will see that southerner Harry S. Truman always used the period.  The title of this article should be changed.  Ortolan88

:Agreed that we should absolutely use "Harry S. Truman".  I tried to move the page, but for whatever reason, I get an error.  It claims there's a page already at Harry S. Truman, which there is, but it's a redirect to Harry S Truman.  We may need an admin to nuke the redirect page before moving the main article. -- RobLa 05:04 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)

thread_title:  A wrong redirect 

message: The article says:
 Rhodoplasts have chlorophyll a and phycobilins for photosynthetic pigments; the phycobilin phycoerythrin is responsible for giving many red algae their distinctive red color. However, since they also contain the blue-green chlorophyll a and other pigments, many are reddish to purple from the combination.
There's a reference (which I can't access), but it doesn't make sense. Phycoerythrin is supposedly red, although the absorption spectrum in our article on it shows that it doesn't absorb much blue, so it's apparently purple already. Chlorophyll is green, which means it absorbs red and blue. So if you have both, then red, green, and blue will all be absorbed to some extent. In other words, adding chlorophyll doesn't make it more purple, it makes it less purple! It absorbs the blue and red of which purple is composed. We're talking about subtractive colors, not additive. If we were shining colored lights, then yes, shining a red light and a blue-green light on the same spot might give a purple. I think the purple color of some "red" algae is simply due to the phycoerythrin, plus maybe some other pigments. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 18:36, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Power associativity

message: The old page history is so corrupted that I can't tell who added the false statement that power-associativity of a magma is equivalent to x(xx) = (xx)x for all x. But anyway, here's a minimal counterexample:
     | a b
   --+-----
   a | b a
   b | a a
This is commutative, so the identity x(xx) = (xx)x obviously holds. But either element generates the whole magma, and this is not a semigroup, as a(ab) = b while (aa)b = a. --Zundark 10:48 Dec 1, 2002 (UTC)
That's my fault; an analogous idea works for alternativity, but not for power associativity.
-- Toby 07:11 Feb 21, 2003 (UTC)
Okay, now I'm confused.  I always heard associativity defined as x(xx)=(xx)x.  So is power assoc. a /stronger/ statement than associativity or weaker? Lunkwill 20:43, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Associativity is x(yz) = (xy)z, which is stronger than power associativity, which is stronger than x(xx) = (xx)x. --Zundark 07:48, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

text: Yes, every alternative algebra is power-associative. The extra structure in an algebra (compared to a magma) makes a big difference. In fact, it's a theorem of Artin that any pair of elements in an alternative algebra generates an associative subalgebra. This is mentioned (with a reference) in the Properties section of the alternative algebra article. --Zundark (talk) 21:11, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
