Talk:Frederick Douglass

message: In the inset at upper R, don't just name a cemetery and call your job done.  Would you name a city and town without the state?  Add the cemetery's city, state, and for that matter if not the U.S., country.  I mean, which 'Rochester'?  Massachusetts?  New Hampshire?  Minnesota?
Otherwise, keep work the good up.

thread_title: Inset

message: Until July 3, under "Birth family," this article stated, "his father was 'almost certainly white', according to historian David W. Blight in his 2018 biography of Douglass." It cited Adam Gopnik's New Yorker article. This statement was false, because Blight's book did not say that Douglass's father was "almost certainly white." Rather, Gopnik wrote that Blight "shows" that Douglass's father was "almost certainly white." But, again, Blight didn't say that.
Therefore, on July 3, I edited it to state, "his father was 'almost certainly white', according to Adam Gopnik, reviewing David W. Blight's 2018 biography of Douglass." But this isn't quite accurate either, because Gopnik was not expounding on Douglass; he was falsely attributing the statement to Blight.
What Blight says is that Douglass said that his father was white. That is sufficient for our purposes. We can cite Douglass, without mentioning that Blight quoted him, and without mentioning Gopnik's false statement about what Blight wrote. Maurice Magnus (talk) 18:22, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Douglass's father 

message: I have a facsimile edition of Douglass's third autobiography, as published in 1881. Endnote 3 in Life and Times of Frederick Douglass confirms that it was published in 1881, and that it was titled, as my facsimile edition is, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, Written by Himself, His Early Life as a Slave, His Escape from Bondage, and His Complete History to the Present Time. In the endnotes to Frederick Douglass, the title of the book was given as The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, from 1817 to 1882 and the year of publication was given as 1882. This title and year refer to the British edition and can be viewed by clicking on the arrow at the end of endnote 1 of Frederick Douglass and going to page 9 of 499. I changed the British title to the American title because I believe that the first edition should be cited. (I neglected to change "(1882)" to "(1881)," but I will do so shortly.) I have not changed from the British publisher (London: Christian Age Office) to the American publisher (Hartford, Conn.: Park Publishing Co.), because the link in each endnote that cites the book takes us to the British edition. I appreciate that having the American title and year but the British publisher is inconsistent, and if someone thinks that we should deal with this differently, then you can say so.

Talk:Signal instrument

message: Removed the following:
:When the elite practiced hunting as a prestigious outdoors social activity, music was often present at any stage, indeed the court of Versailles had composers such as the Danican family and Philidor write special symphonies for a court orchestra to accompany the royal hunt party, prominently featuring percussion and winds but also including non-signal instruments, even strings. 
because it doesn't seem to refer to "Signal instruments" but rather to music. The final paragraph on marching music doesn't really fit, either, although there may be a historical connection not yet mentioned in the article.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:39, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Equity value

message: I referenced equity value in my edits to the article on market capitalization, so this is my attempt to define that term.   This is a working definition of equity value according to my professional understanding of it - my finance text book does not address this term explicitly, nor do the online financial glossaries that I have checked.
I intend to expand the calculations section to include treasury-share method and the concept of fully-diluted equity value.

message: I changed this page to a redirect to Epiphanius, as there are two Saints by that name.  The original text in any case referred to Epiphanius of Salamis, and I will incorporate anything relevant into that article.
Original text:
Saint Epiphanius (330-402) was one of the Fathers of the Greek Church; of Jewish descent; flourished in the 4th century; led a monastic life, and founded a monastery in Eleutheropolis; was bishop of Constantia in 367; he became notorious for his ecclesiastical zeal, and for his indictments of Origen and St. Chrysostom; left writings that show great but indiscriminate learning.

Talk:Japanese nationalist thinking in the Meiji era

message: This article has been created using a very poor machine translation. I just have tried to "copyedit" it, but there is more here than any copyediting might accomplish: the syntax is a mess -- the meanings are completely garbled. The article needs to be entirely rewritten, by someone well-acquainted with the history rather than simply by someone who knows English and editing well.
This said, the article could be a very interesting one. It clearly is intended to answer a very interesting and increasingly-important question, about the origins of nationalist thinking which has caused problems for Japan in its past and may be resurgent again today. 
So, although the article makes almost no sense in English, in its present syntactical form, instead of simply deleting it I am going to find some sort of warning template -- in addition to the copyedit template -- and put it in at the top and hope that somebody will take the trouble to do a rewrite. I'd like very much to read the rewrite myself, as the topic to me seems very timely and interesting.

message: In an article about a person known to the public for her highly successful acting career, I suggest there is too much material about the various charities for which Lumely has worked or which she supports.

Talk:Sarawak Chamber

message: Okay, I'd rate myself as a happy troglodyte, but the fact that the *world's biggest cave chamber!!!* is hardly three paragraphs is...kinda depressing. I think I may have a fuzzy picture of it somewhere, from a caver acquaintance who sent me it via email...but I'm not quite sure how to put them on, and it might be rather large. And I can't find any information on the book I referenced to either, the Donald Jackson one - it's hardback, a black cover and has a large pothole photo on it's front. I know it's old; 1985 said Amazon. I love Sarawakky, I want to go there someday just to boast that I have. Are there any more caving enthusiasts on here? I want to try starting the Porth-yr-Ogof page too; I've been there several times myself and I have the book on it.
Lady BlahDeBlah 17:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, my bad. But what confuses me is that the guides told me that the Deer Cave where the largest chamber in the world... and it is very, very big. We were planning to go serious caving, but ended up not having time, but although their brochure mentioned many caves that required good experience to go to, they didnt mention that there was any cave bigger than Deer cave. Unfortunately, I threw this brochure away recently :p --RipperDoc 17:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, cool, thanks! Now the pieces fit together for me again. Don't quote me on the number, but I think the guides told me that the undergroundriver that flows through Clearwater is around 100 km long.
Clearwater Cave is 129 km long, but the river in the cave is much shorter, as obviously it doesn't flow through all the passages.
Cavingliz 03:37, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

text: As far as I know, they measure the length by coloring the water upstream and timing how long it takes to reach the other end (again, according to the guides). Is there any other way of measuring the length of the cave? (except going through all 129 kms, which for obvious reasons hasn't been done, right?).
They definitely DO NOT measure the length of a cave by dye tracing. Cavers measure the length of a cave by survueying with tape measure and surveying gear, and yes, they have covered all 129 km over the years. Dye tracing only tells you where the water flows, it is impossible to measure the length this way.
