Talk:Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank

message: I do not know alot about how the ENTER is calculated from different states' assessment programs but I do know that Victoria's ENTER and NSW UAI are not, in all respects, the same. For instance the maximum score for Victoria's ENTER is 99.95 whereas the maximum UAI is 100. This means either that the interpretation of students ENTER's is different in different states or that the Victorian score or the NSW score must undergo some sort of moderation. Perhaps this can be cleared up in discussion and then incorporated in the article.

message: The article states that in Queensland we use a different system called "Overall Position (OP)". This is not entirely correct. Students do not have to take the Queensland Core Skills Test and receive an OP. If they don't they receive a selection rank which I thought was comparable to the ENTER however I'm not sure. Perhaps someone that knows a little more could correct this point. --Spuzzdawg (talk) 01:51, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Integration of [[User:Professor in music]]'s edit 

message: "These alterations included dropping the introductory, the closing marches,..." Could somebody clarify exactly what this means? "Introductory and closing marches", Introduction and closing marches? I'm a bit puzzled because the (admittedly old) Eulenburg score I have talks, in its introduction, of only one march. Thanks. --Zeisseng 21:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for helping to clean this up.  I bit off a little more than I could chew when I offered to help integrate a recent large edit.  allmusic.com refers to the dropping of a minuet and a concluding march.  Also, it could be that the same march was played before and after the serenade.  Hurwitz writes that the K.249 march was often played before and after the K.250 Serenade.  Feel free to clean up the wording based on the facts you've found independently.  The main point here is that the original serenade was cut and reorchestrated.  I'm curious, do you have a score for the original "Second Haffner Serenade"?  Thanks.  DavidRF 04:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Reworking the serenade 

message: Re the first movement, the article says, "recalling the monothematic sonata movements of Haydn (e.g. Symphony No. 104)". It's awkward  to say Mozart's 35 "recalls" Haydn's 104 which was composed about 13 years later. This could be rephrased (which i could do), but i think it'd be better to use an earlier Haydn, since Haydn's influence on Mozart was of course huge. And i'm not the right person to pick a chronologically/causally appropriate example. Thanks for the good work, "alyosha" (talk) 19:38, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Eendracht (1615)

message: This ship's record in the VOC database has the following entry as one of its voyages:
 reis vertrek op van   naar    aankomst   op kamer  schipper 
 1    14/06/1615 Texel Ternate 17/09/1616           Willem Kornelisz. Schouten
This entry would seem to be belong to another ship of the same name, since the dates of this voyage overlap with that of Hartog's 1st voyage to the East Indies. It appears that Willem Schouten did have a vessel of that same name (if this is the same Willem K Schouten who rounded Cape Horn), although this was earlier. It therefore seems likely to me that this particular entry in the database is confused, and this mention belongs to some other ship, not the one in question here. --cjllw | TALK 10:09, 2005 July 12 (UTC)
There are some errors in the information in the various databases. There were many ships with the name Eendracht. According to the journal of Jacob le Maire  the ship Eendracht that was captained by Schouten was "180 lasten", which is 225 ton. The information in  says that Schouten sailed on a ship of 700 ton. So this can not be correct.  lists all the ships used by the VOC, and the details of each ship show that the Eendracht used by Hartog was very much bigger than the Eendracht used by Schouten. I therefore corrected this information in the article 86.84.4.3 09:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

These were 2 different Eendracht ships.   Why the shipping companies were so bereft of alternative distinct names, I don't know.
Anyhow, this wikipedia article is about Hartog's ship.   Yet the illustration is by Schouten and is obviously the 'other' ship.  This same illustration appears in the article and Schouten and his voyage via Cape Horn.Eregli bob (talk) 02:35, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
