Talk:Charles Foster Batchelder

message: I've been through twice, fixing typos, clunky bits, missing words etc. I'm not sure what the Maynard bit was supposed to be saying, so that may need checking again. There was a typo in the final quotation, which I assume arose during transcription. Cheers, Jimfbleak 07:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a typo. The Maynard story was reported mostly as-is, it's at the end of Taber's account, and I thought it made for an interesting insight in the man's character. Circeus 19:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Patuxent High School

message: Greetings editors!
Before editing, please consult WP:SCH#WNTI.  This is a section of the page written by the WP:WikiProject Schools group that details what does not belong in articles about schools.  Highlighting:
* Do not include the names of current/former staff members, unless they are somehow notable beyond their work at the school.  Make sure to include a reference to explain their notability.
* Do not include the names of former/current students, unless they are somehow notable beyond being a student or student-competitor. A rule of thumb is that students become notable when they fulfill WP:N, and become eligible for their own article on Wikipedia.

Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Vote/Rebecca

message: *I think it is bad practice to run for ArbCom *and* to vote in opposition against one's opponents. Kingturtle 04:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I think it would be better if in future the rules clearly say candidates should not vote (unless they withdraw).  I am perfectly ready to AGF, but with 25 odd candidates at the start, the oppose votes of candidates are potentially rather significant, & Rebecca & the candidate she changed her vote to oppose could very well be said to be in contention as the table stands now.  Best to avoid the possibility of these sort of concerns - plus it might not help the later running of the Arbcom if members know other members voted against them. As it is, she has the right to use her votes as she sees best. Johnbod (talk) 20:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: She's also not the only candidate voting in opposition to other ArbCom candidates; some of the voters bringing this issue up have voted in support for at least one other candidate who has done so. --健次(derumi)talk 22:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Couldn't agree more with Johnbod.  I see it as a conflict of interest to allow candidates to vote, and would prefer to see it disallowed next time around.  However, since its allowed as of right now, I don't think its a reason to oppose, as long as the vote is made in good faith.  If a candidate voted to oppose every other candidate, then I'd see a good reason to oppose that candidate.  ~Sasha Callahan (Talk) 22:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Queen mothers

message: I have thoroughly scoured Google and Google Books results, and it is now clear that "Queen Mothers" is far more likely to be correct than "Queens Mother" - 53,000+ hits for "Queen Mothers" compared to 724 hits for "Queens Mother" (some of which referred to mothers who live in the NY borough of Queens). See:
*The Literary Digest History of the World War, p. 289, "Two Queen mothers on whom President Wilson called while in Europe in 1918..."
*Henry B. Wheatley, Peter Cunningham, London Past and Present: Its History, Associations, and Traditions, p. 271, "They passed that building which of old Queen Mothers were designed to hold"
*Elna K. Solvang, A Woman's Place is in the House, p. 85, "Information about the deeds of the kings — and possibly the deeds of the queen mothers — is said to be found in the Annals of the Kings".
*Jenny Wormald, Mary, Queen of Scots: Politics, Passion and a Kingdom Lost, p. 50, "it is therefore something of an irony that she had to wait for twelve years,  until 1554, and stage a successful coup, before obtaining the place which earlier queen mothers had immediately enjoyed".
*Leo G. Perdue, Proverbs, p. 269, "Queen mothers, while possessing great influence because they bore and reared the male heir apparent to the throne, rarely ever came to sit on the thrones..."  
*Sydney Wayne Jackman, A Stranger in the Hague: The Letters of Queen Sophie of the Netherlands, p. 155, "Queen Mothers seem to be wicked everywhere, but this one is now in a most dreadful situation". 
*Catherine Coquery-Vidrovitch, African Women: A Modern History, p. 37, "The important role played by queen mothers or their equivalents, whether in a matrilineal or patrilineal society, ..."
*Elisabeth Meier Tetlow, Women, Crime, and Punishment in Ancient Law and Society, p. 151, "Although there were no defined political roles for queen mothers... Queen mothers had treasurers and stewards of their possessions.
*Carol Ann Newsom, Sharon H. Ringe, Women's Bible Commentary, p. 120, "For Judah's twenty kings, eleven queen mothers are named".
*Deborah Levine Gera, Warrior Women: The Anonymous Tractatus de Mulieribus, p. 14, "This last group of women are not only the widows of kings, and (in some instances) independent rulers, but queen mothers, parents of the reigning or future king". 
*Barbara N. Ramusack, The Indian Princes and Their States, p. 179, "Numerous less well known queen mothers served as regents." 
*Imbert de Saint-Amand, The Court of the Empress Josephine, p. 304, "Then there are the apartments of the queen mothers... In the bedroom of the queen mothers an altar was raised where the Vicar of Christ said mass".
*Heinz Duchhardt, Richard A. Jackson, David J. Sturdy, European Monarchy: Its Evolution and Practice from Roman Antiquity to Modern Times, p. 5, "...the queens or queen-mothers in France were far more than just the consorts or mothers of kings".
Per the above, Wikipedia convention dictates that we must follow the most widely accepted construction, which I am affecting now. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Strong Oppose. The only interaction I have had with him has been very negative - at WP:BN he made a number of comments which seemed very elitist, and suggesting that the opinions of bureaucrats are worth more than those of non-bureaucrats. Although that relates to his office as a bureaucrat rather than an arbitrator, I'm very concerned about the concentration of power issues, and the fact that holding so many official titles seems to have gone to his head. It's time he stepped aside, preferably from bureaucratship as well as the ArbCom. Also, as noted above, he's been involved in edit-warring. WaltonOne 19:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:I Wayan Suweca

message: I am not an editor, and have no plans to become one.  I hope that some actual editor will see this and implement it.
Since Pak Suweca died today, I looked up this information.
His birthdate was December 31, 1948 -- Not "the 1950s".  (The birthplace is correct.)
Died May 23, 2023, age 75, in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, of complications from diabetes.
IMPORTANT ADDITION TO THE ARTICLE:  He was one of the first Balinese music composers/teachers to encourage women and girls to play instruments, previously a purely male prerogative.  He started this in his own family.  His sister, whose name escapes me at the moment, is also a noted Balinese composer/performer and, like Pak Suweca, is a master of the Gamelan Gender Wayang.
(The part about him encouraging women and girls is in one of the sources below ... which also mentions that he was inspired to do so by the women he saw performing in Berkeley's Gamelan Sekar Jaya, which he co-founded.)
(The part about his family and his sister is from my personal knowledge ... but I'm sure the information must be out there on the internet at some reliable source.)
Sources:

Talk:New Music America

message: You know, while I respect John Zorn's music, I don't recall him being at the New Music America festivals in Minneapolis, San Francisco or Houston. I believe he performed with his friends at the Hartford festival and he seemed to enjoy that. Perhaps his quote is taken out of context or he was specifically referring to the first event in New York.  These festivals were historic and were important to give composers, presenters, musicians and critics the opportunity to interact and share information.  Bookings resulted out of this which was a good way to promulgate new music around the country and hear what was going on in different places by those with an overall shared aesthetic. Composers presented the music they wanted to make and it was so non-commercial that I don't understand John's logic.  After existing in its pure state, the festival changed around the time of Houston and I didn't keep up with it anymore.  Perhaps that is the era John speaks about, I don't really know.  But the festival through 1986 was pretty terrific.  Eventually, it outgrew its size and then morphed out of its sand crab shell into some other form. The music's still around, it's just really hard to find it now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallopout (talk • contribs) 01:48, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
