Talk:Octave glissando

message: Does anyone know the earliest piece in the standard classical repetoire to use the octave glissando? The earliest one I've ever heard is in the Beethoven First Concerto, although of course I don't have anything near an encyclopediac knowledge of the piano repetoire. Thanks.

thread_title:  Earliest usage

message: I have changed "3rd movement" to "final movement", because this is, in fact a 2-movement sonata.  The slow, middle section is NOT a  movement, but an introduction to the second (final) movement. Prof.rick (talk) 19:55, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Waldstein Sonata (Beethoven) 

message: A little rewriting seemed necessary here.  First, maintaining the distance of the octave between fingers 1 and 5 is not a technical problem for experienced pianists.  Second, octave glissandos are not avoided because of their difficulty, but because of the pain they can cause to the tender flesh of finger 5.  Third, I don't think any composers uses octave glissandos (or any other technical means) "to make the music more difficult".  Composers are rarely interested in making their music more difficult, but in conveying their musical concepts. While octave glissandos may create an impressive effect, they have been used with a wide variety of musical intentions. Prof.rick (talk) 20:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Tobacco Road (film)

message: The plot summary from Turner Classic Movies ---  "Tobacco Road Full Synopsis". Turner Classic Movies. Retrieved 24 June 2014 --- is clearly an extended quotation from an existing source, written by an author who I assume is not the Wikipedian who placed that text in the article.
Apart from being ethically bad writing practice, that is: you don't simply take a big chunk of text written by somebody else and stick it in your article without adding a single word or two, preferably sentences and paragraphs, of your own making, no matter who you are nor what publication you're contributing to. This is also utterly contrary to WP style and content guidelines. For the purpose of this critique, I'm calling these guidelines rules, as regarding them as loose guidelines would just be stupid and wilfully belligerent.
So before I remove the entire plot summary text, I'm inviting the Wikipedian who put it there to 1. Identify yourself, 2. Explain the intellectual property rights status of the quotation, ie: did you get permission from Turner Classics or what? 3. If no permission was given then its presence in the article is illegal ans illicit, and the onus is on you to remove it. All of it.
I'll come back and check soon, repeatedly, until the matter is resolved. Thank you. Arbo (talk) 10:19, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Variations

message: Hi, Izzudin, regarding your recent edit to "", I realize that "bin" and "binte" are originally from Arabic, but aren't they used in Malaysia and Singapore in the Malay language? And in Malay "binti" is spelt "binte" and abbreviated "bte." Since the template is called "Malay name" and not "Arabic name", I think it would be more appropriate to change the template back to refer to the Malay usage rather than Arabic usage. Let's discuss this matter further. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 12:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 'Bin' and 'binti' means 'anak lelaki kepada' and 'anak perempuan kepada' respectively in Malay. I am not sure if the words are accepted as Bahasa Melayu's derived words by the DBP. If 'bin' and 'binti' are malay words, why in Malaysia they say Indian names with 'a/l' or 'a/p' meanings 'anak lelaki (son of)' and 'anak perempuan (daughter of)' respectively and not bin or binti? 'Binte' is no longer spelt like that. Binti is used widely, as 'binte' will be pronounced as 'binté'. Yes, 'bte.' was once used to abbreviate 'binti', but now it is abbreviated as 'bt.'. Proof? See Malay's MyKad. izzudin 12:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Bin and binti aren't used by only Malays, but all Muslims. Malays are minority in Singapore while other countries like Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia that populated by a large number of Malays, and even Muslims or Malay in southern part of Thailand use 'binti'. 'Binte' will look odd but 'bte.' is ok. Same like 'Inche' that is now 'Encik'. But if there are a lot of Malay personality's articles that used 'binte', putting the 'binte' after 'binti' would be more ok because 'binti' is used more widely. Like: "The Arabic word bin (b.) or binti/binte (bt./bte.), if used, means "son of" or "daughter of" respectively" ...  ... izzudin 15:56, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ballade pour Adeline

message: The un-cited section on instrumentation says: “Originally composed for piano solo. The Clayderman recording features an accompaniment consisting of strings, keyboard, guitar, bass guitar, and drums.” This is confusing, as the article says that he has recorded it with more than one arrangement; it’s also confusing as there are references to the “original backing” being used for other recordings, as at lease one release has Clayderman playing solo, without backing (e.g. available on the 1981 K-Tel album Themes [K-Tel – NE 1122]), and there is nothing to say - in the article at least - that that wasn’t the original recording to which a backing track was later added...

Template talk:Artificial intelligence

message: This is a general comment on series' templates that I perhaps notice the most with this one (because I spend the most time on related articles). Such templates are added to (new) articles because (new) editors think it is expected. The template is quite large (in terms of pixels) and treats top-level topics (as it should).
The situation I'm thinking about is that small AI-topic articles (e.g. a specific AI model like AlphaDev). It does not seem to me that this large template of high-level topics is of particular added value here. 
Of course, this decision was made by the editor that article and beyond the control of the editors of this template.
My question is more, can something be done, e.g.:
# clarify at the top of documenation that this should not be added to any AI-related article
# maybe make this template smaller
