message: Today I replaced this paragraph entirely.
: Al was such a huge baseball fan that he began keeping track of statistics in the National League. Through the years, sportswriters began using his information. In 1922, National League president John Heydler hired Elias to aid him in record-keeping. Several years later, Elias Sports Bureau became the full-time baseball statistician for the National League; the American League followed suit later.
The AP obituary says NL and IL statistician for more than 20 years, as of 1939, which fits the IJSHOF biographical blurb on Al Elias. "Full-time" cannot be right. It would be nice to know the source for that "aid in record-keeping", which rings true as one step toward "contracting out" to Elias. --P64 (talk)

Talk:Madrid, New Mexico

message: The picture of adobe walls is quite anomalous, and the tag line (on the full image page) "Old adobe walls stand as a reminder of the past in w:Madrid, New Mexico" is thoroughly absurd. This is a very recently built wall, and the "reminders" of Madrid's past are the flimsy frame miners' shacks. There are plenty of pictures of them available. I am inclined to take the picture in question off the page, though there's no big rush, plenty of time to discuss it. ;Bear 04:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The descriptions of music when written by fans or people promoting a POV here are not much help.  Here we have a song with a moderately-fast tempo, I would say 4/4 time, in a certain key which I wouldn't know without doing some research.  The article says: ""It's No Good" is a moodily rhythmic, perhaps even "sexy" song..." which makes it sound like the Beatles playing Michelle, instead of a straightforward hard-rock number with a jackhammer beat under the drums.  That goes for all other articles where a song is described in fan words instead of in musical terms: tempo, time, key and "genre" -- if people can agree on genre.  24.27.31.170 (talk) 00:19, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Last Christmas

message: Is there any reason why the original 7-inch single mix of the song that was released in the United Kingdom by Epic Records in 1984 is not currently mentioned in this article? As far as I'm aware (and unless I'm mistaken), after the two original 1984 7-inch singles containing the original mix (Epic GA4949 and Epic QA4949) were deleted by Epic, future reissues of the song (starting in 1985) used an edited version of the 12-inch extended "pudding mix" from 1984 as the official single version, and the original 7-inch single mix of the song from 1984 by all accounts has never appeared on a Wham! or George Michael album, soundtrack album (like that for the 2019 film Last Christmas), or holiday compilation album. I would think that the original 7-inch single mix of the song would be significant enough to mention in the article. Is it because no reliable sources about the original 7-inch single mix can easily be found? Sliv812 (talk) 07:17, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Surname 

message: How do we handle her surname now? Her legal surname is "von Furstenberg" not "of Furstenberg". And if we translate the von to "of" should we not do the same for her former sister in law, Diane von Furstenberg? Worth pondering? I think this translating of "von" etc at times can be ridiculous, frankly, especially when the person uses it as a surname rather than a geographical designation.Kitchawan 16:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ira at least uses the name Ira von Fürstenberg, would otherwise be Ira Prinzessin zu Fürstenberg and historically and socially entitled to the title and style HSH Princess Ira of Fürstenberg. I wouldn't consider it translating her surname, just using her title. She still has a surname. The difference between her and Diane is that Diane is not a princess of anything since she divorced her prince. Fürstenburg was an actual territory and members of the family still use the titles.

Talk:Satun province

message: I am from Thailand. I would like to discuss about this province's name. The spelling in Thai of this province is a little bit more like "Stool", but I am also aware that they don't want the province name to have any english meaning (only God knows why they don't want the closest spelling). 
So, in my opinion, it should be more like "Satool" instead of "Satun" (We also have a word "Sa-toon", which is spelling much alike "Satun" and means "low life scum").
Just an opinion from Thai people. Thank you for your appreciation.
:However the offical transcription according to the Royal Thai General System of Transcription is Satun, and it's that transcription which we use here, and which gets more and more commonly used in Thailand as well. And too all my (limited) knowledge of Thai a final ล is pronounced like a N, and not like a L as a ล at the beginning of a syllable. However as the RTGS skips the syllable length, Satuun would make it more clear that the a is much shorter than the u. andy 20:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lidia Zamenhof

message: I don't want to get into a revert war here, but I would like to explain why I changed what I did. My changes, though they involved a good deal of perhaps-trivial wikifying (years, for example), were more detailed and important than that. This was a very poorly-written article; I felt I improved it. I welcome further revision, but a straight revert to what seems to me an obviously worse form seems like you didn't really even read my edits. Here are a few of my changes and the rationale:
*Dr. Zamenhof's name -- "L.L. ..." is the title of the article here, and that article says Ludwig is a form of his name but by no means the primary or even necessarily correct one. Why pipe when a straight link is actually better?
*Clarifying what Esperanto is -- not everyone knows Esperanto is even a language, let alone a constructed one. A reader shouldn't have to click the link to find out why her father's invention matters or even what it is.
*Description of Homaranismo -- my rephrasing may not have been the best; please, edit it! But "her father's own universal outlook" is just confusing.
I hope I didn't sound too defensive here, but I try to write and rewrite articles in a professional style. Reverting (rather than rewriting or discussing) productive edits with little justification (other than "over-wikification", whatever that was supposed to mean) is harmful to Wikipedia. Please read changes before reverting. Thanks. --SuperNova |T|C| 04:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
