Ed8r (talk) 20:20, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Pavane definition

message: We've got one paragraph here saying that the original version was for piano and choir in the late 1880s, and another paragraph saying that it was composed as an orchestral piece in 1887. They're both supported by citations, but I don't think they can both be right.  We've also got an uncited claim in the introduction that it was originally a piano piece, with no mention of a choir.
My own view is that the piano and choir claim (Howat) is probably wrong.  I say this because both Nectoux and Grove Online appear to support the notion that it was written in 1887 for orchestra.  Grove Online indicates (1) orchestral version with optional chorus in 1887 (chorus appears to be wordless but I'm not certain of this), (2) solo piano arrangement in 1889, (3) version for choir and piano in 1891 (believe this is when words were added), (4) version for choir and orchestra in 1901.
However, I'd prefer to check for other sources before changing the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Orfeocookie (talk • contribs) 12:27, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Stroke count method

message: I just added the section on Stroke Order method, which is different from the original article. But since I found that the article  on Chinese input methods for computers linked 笔画 to here, I thought it needed to be included.  
Also, I find the article misleading, in that it makes it sound as if 笔画 is a very long and difficult way of entering characters, when that is not the case if the user understands chinese stroke order. It is more than simply typing in a number of strokes and then cycling through the results till you find the character you are looking for. 
I was going to edit the article, but then I thought maybe the author's "stroke count method" might be different than 笔画.  (the link to this article includes two sets of Chinese characters: 筆畫 and 笔画).  It is possible the first and second are, the traditional version and simplified version of the same Chinese characters, respectively. If that is the case, then I will further edit the article.  
If stroke order methode and stroke count method are indeed separate systems, then I will create a new article. Macenblu (talk) 05:01, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Er, no. You CAN'T have a lowercase without an uppercase, (or vice-versa) -- "uppercase" and "lowercase" are opposites, and are therefore a pair. You can't have one without the other.
Besides, if palawa kani is unicase, how can you say it is lowercase? By definition, unicase means "only one case," correct? How then could it be either lowercase OR uppercase?
And if you must insist on calling it one or the other, then why lowercase? Wouldn't calling it "uppercase" be just as valid (or just as invalid)...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGrandRascal (talk • contribs) 11:12, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
