Talk:Lycidas

message: A new account has completely rewritten the article. Usually when replacing others' work wholesale, rather than just editing/adding to it, it's best to discuss it. It is better sourced now, but I have a few qualms. Is it a copyvio? Usually long articles that appear all at once are, though google doesn't seem to turn up anything, except that one short part seems to be taken straight from EB's guide to Shakespeare (or they are both taken from the same other source. Is this more of an essay than an encyclopedia article? Reads a bit like one to me. Should we at least try to incorporate some of the former article into this one? Should we simply revert it, and try to incorporate much of this newer material into the previous version, rather than completely replace it? It at least needs wikification, and a better intro. Anyone? R. fiend (talk) 18:57, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:Hardcore punk groups

message: There is an important difference between hardcore and hardcore punk.  Most of these bands, if not all are hardcore, though there is of course a large over lap (especially since the terms aren't exactly defined perfectly).  For example, the Dead Kennedys would probably be defined as both Hardcore and Hardcore Punk, while Gorrilla Biscuits or Charles Bronson would not be described as Hardcore Punk by anyone within the Hardcore community.
It's a hard distinction to nail exactly, but hardcore was louder, faster, younger and without a lot of the perceived "arty pretensions" of punk, while still maintaining it's free spirit.
Why both have a list of "hardcore punk groups" and "hardcore punk bands"? What's the difference?
I agree with the above. However, I don't even think this should exist. It should be an article/forum attempting to explain whatever this category could possibly be, not a list of stupid emohairscream bands. Go ahead and direct people to this discussion, I have a feeling this is going to keep going. For example, comment #2 I think you're on the right path. Think punk. Subway Sect, Ramones, New York Dolls, the Weirdos, the Stranglers etc. Advance a few years and make it more extreme all around. The dress, the politics, the beat, the words. It's punk on pcp.
Enter shikari are hardcore punk now? I think not. More like screamo meets dance/trance.
At what point, if ever, were AFI a hardcore punk band? If there are no objections, I'll remove the link.--Mcr hxc 16:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Are the English translations of these names somehow official or traditional?  If not, there are other ways of translating them.  Oriente could simply mean "East" (the etymological origin of the English "Orient"), as is reflected in earlier versions of the article.  Also, the "of the" is not a direct translation but makes the translated phrase smoother.  I think a direct translation in this respect might retain the concept of this figure as a woman who interacted with other people, not just an abstract deity...although I am not advocating changing it to "Mrs. East" or anything like that.

Talk:Automated analyser

message: In the process of a major rewrite of this page, especially haematological analysers. Povmcdov 14:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

message: As a professional who uses such analyzers on a daily basis, I can see why the names of several different ones might be mentioned, but not in the way this article does.
*For one thing, different hematology analyzers use similar (but not identical) principles of measuring the cells, and there are other differences in the ways in which these principles are employed.  For instance, one analyzer counts RBCs and WBCs in separate apertures, while another uses only one.  There are enough differences that I think this article should not say that red cells are counted "this way," and white cells are counted "that way."
*Is this an English version article or an American English one?  It keeps switching usage.
*Again, not all "Coagulometers" work the same way.  Same for Chemistry analyzers.
*Reticulocytes are often counted by today's analyzers (not so rare as implied here), and most still employ supravital staining such as methylene blue, which is not even mentioned in the blurb about manual retic counts.
Hmm.  Think I better consider editing the article.

thread_title:  Images Needed 

message: This article is misleading.  Robert Truax wasn't a NASA engineer; his rocketry experience was in the U.S. Navy and at Aerojet General.  Evel Knievel's Skycycle X-2 wasn't a motorcycle and didn't even resemble a motorcycle.  Even though it had tandem wheels like a motorcycle buried in the fuselage, it was a stubby, steam-powered winged projectile launched from a rail.  That's right, steam-powered.  It didn't use chemical rocket engines.  Instead, it contained a pressure vessel that was charged with steam from a boiler next to the launch rail.  To "fire" it, a plug in the exhaust nozzle was released, allowing the superheated steam to escape and push the craft on a short ballistic flight.  During Knievel's infamous failed attempt to "jump" the Snake River Canyon, the parachute deployed prematurely.  Analysis of film records of the event showed the parachute coming out the back of the craft even as it was leaving the launch rail.  As a result, Knievel experienced tremendous acceleration as the Skycycle was launched, then was slammed forward in his safety harness when the parachute inflated.  He got a couple of black eyes and a big scare for his efforts.  The cause of the failure was reportedly later traced to a faulty umbilical cable design.  The electrical systems in the Skycycle were powered by an external source while it was on the ground, much like NASA's manned rockets.  At liftoff a wire rope was supposed to yank the umbilical cable connector out of its mating connector on the Skycycle.  Unfortunately, since Robert Truax used an off-the-shelf connector, the connector pins broke contact in an unpredictable order, causing an electrical glitch that triggered the parachute deployment immediately, instead of after a time delay.  The problem could have been fixed by making certain pins in the connector longer than others, guaranteeing that various circuits broke predictably.  Unfortunately for Truax, Knievel had had enough after that experience, and no further attempts were made to jump the canyon. I watched the event on a live ABC network television broadcast, and there was plenty of coverage in print at the time. (Yeah, I'm that old!) —QuicksilverT @ 15:10, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Limited voting

message: I don't really understand the article about limited voting. Does this system mean that the number of POSITIONS for which a voter can vote is fewer than the number of vacancies (while presumably more than 1)? If so, I think the text should be edited to reflect this.

:This system has been used in the UK in the 19th Century.  the voter has fewer votes than there are seats to be filled - that's the point.

:Central to Burckhardt's ideas was a reaction to Hegel's philosophy of history, which understood all history as an exposition of "spirit." Burckhardt can be understood as a conservative reaction to Hegel's theory of history. See: "Jacob Burckhardt: History as Education and Culture" http://www.janus.umd.edu/May2001/Melson/01.html

thread_title:  Anon addition 

message: The article ought to mention that Burckhardt's conception of the Renaissance as a revival of pagan philosophy and individualism after an age of asceticism and ignorance was bitterly contested by Medieval historians and historians of science such as Lynn Thorndike and is not accepted any more, or accepted only with severe  qualifications. In 1927 Charles Homer Haskins wrote a very famous book, The Renaissance of the Twelfth Century, showing that the period we know as the Renaissance was preceded by many revivals of classical antiquity that took place periodically in the Middle Ages, most notably in France in the twelfth century, which had virtually of all the characteristics of the later one:
The continuity of history rejects violent contrasts between successive periods, and modern research shows the Middle Ages less dark and less static, the Renaissance less bright and less sudden, than was once supposed. The Italian Renaissance was preceded by similar, if less wide-reaching, movements.
The book to read is Wallace K. Ferguson, The Renaissance in Historical Thought:  Five Centuries of Interpretation (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1948). Then in 1960 the great art historian Erwin Panofsky wrote Renaissance and Renascences in Western Art: "The lectures posed the (now) generally accepted notion that smaller "renaissances" (re-births) of the classical happened periodically in medieval art and literature before the major one in Italy."173.52.245.208 (talk) 03:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
