Talk:Dunking

message: Am I the only one who's suspicious that "supposed" witches who were dunked were "usually" killed, either by drowning or by confessing and dying another way?
While they could certainly be barbarous at times back then, it strikes me that the authorities would rationally want to have some assurance that the individual was actually a witch before killing her.

thread_title: Historical questions

message: Whomever last edited this page was obviously disingenuous. The introduction leading the article in, says that, quote: "Men did this because they're all mentally ill", end quote. What kind of wack phrasing is that in a historical article? Later, when talking about the historical aspects, a person is referred to as, quote: "A waste of oxygen, who is currently burning in hell". 2A02:AA7:4600:9295:1:1:517D:1FB (talk) 01:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Extreme manipulation 

message: I'm a bit confused about the argument here, of a woman being dunked with the reason being "excessive arguing". Looking at the source of the image, there doesn't appear to be anything given as reason, in fact, the source states that the image is entirely unrelated to anything discussed in the book itself:
This book is somewhat of a curiosity ; it is the only one of its kind in the whole series of Chap-books, and has been several times reprinted in the country. It is illustrated, in every edition, with engravings which have no connection with the text, which, however, would be an impossible task, as the following page or so of the commencement will show. The frontispiece has nothing whatever to do with the book, but it is curious and valuable, as giving a representation of the ducking-stool.https://archive.org/stream/chapbooksofeight00asht#page/273/mode/1up
While the image is obviously relevant, I'm unsure whether the attached caption is directly related. 82.166.100.172 (talk) 10:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Judging by the poor spelling and randomness of the comment, I have determined this to be an act of vandalism and deleted it.
Second one that I've spotted was under "Coronation", "He was 'erected' as king at Pūkawa in 1857 and installed as king during elaborate ceremonies held at his marae in Ngaruawahia in 1858."
I've changed it back to "elected."
Is there any way the guy responsible for this could be tracked down and banned?
: Ask an admin to do the banning, they can check the logs/IP-addresses.  eg. User:Moriori.
: However, oddly enough, the erected comment is probably accurate.  Maybe the process needs to be expanded. I suspect it means to be reluctantly elected.

message: The Bryan controversy needs to be updated IMHO. It doesn't really exactly explain how exactly Bryan was able to have such a great influence in the selection of this thesis reviewers. I'm quite surprised by this. I believe in most countries outside the US, the candidate has little if any say in the makeup of the reviewers...
:The rules for OSU allow student particpation in the makeup of the panel:
:Upon completion of the [candidacy] examination, the student may reorganize the committee to reflect the expertise needed for the dissertation.  The dissertation committee must have at least three members: two from the science education program area and one from outside the science education program area.
:I added the emphasis there. It's been implied that Bryan selected those on the panel who he knew to be  pro-ID, and there the rule requiring a public announcement of a thesis defense may have been subverted  .

Talk:Berlin School of electronic music

message: "The genre's identification with space music made it distinct from the more percussive and rhythm-oriented Düsseldorf School which included Can, Cluster, Kraftwerk, and Neu!. These latter bands have had a greater impact upon synth pop and techno while the Berlin School provides roots for ambient, electronica, New Age and trance."
Can were from Cologne, not Düsseldorf (these two cities are fierce rivals), and Cluster formed in Berlin, but recorded in the country.

message: *Toned down the New Age references. For example with regards to TD's progression in the 80s and later: "increasingly New Age-like" seems to be better than claiming this or that point as the definite moment of TD becoming NA.
*Remoovd Trip-Hop as an influenced genre; added a reference to Trance instead. Feel free to add Trip-Hop back if there are genuine reasons, but I don't see anything hinting at BS in the TH article... Trance, on the other hand, starts right from Schulze in the history section.
*TD's "Astral Voyager" has repeatedly been refuted as being a mostly 80s work. I can link the tadream discussion on this if it's required.
And things I think would be needed:
*A link to Electronic art music somewhere, seeing that Berlin School is classified as a subgenre of it in the list of electronic music genres.
*A few more artists might be needed to be mentioned in the "Latter-day Berlin School" section. I'm thinking elaborating on the late 80s mostly - Mark Shreeve, Rober Schröder and what have you.
