Talk:Sixty Six (film)

message: "a solecism; a rabbi would never refer to any part of Jewish scripture as "the Old Testament"." -- While obviously an error, this is apparently not a solecism ("grammatical mistake or absurdity") based on the discussion in that article. -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 22:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was the one who put this in. "Old Testament" here is not a grammatical mistake but it is an absurdity.. my impression is that "solecism" refers to the type of mistake of unfamiliarity (grammatical or semantic) that someone makes when trying to talk like a group of people that they don't actually belong to.. the solecism article seems to bear this out at least partially. Still if you would prefer to replace "solecism" with "error" or something else of your preference, I won't stand in your way. Zargulon (talk) 10:10, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:William Crawford (knight)

message: There are multiple issues with this article;-
1. I see no mention of this person in Peter Traquair's "Freedom's Sword", an important recent work on the Wars of Independence.
2. This seems to be based on Blind Harry's Wallace, or material from a while back which uncritically regurgitated it.
3. It is well-established that Wallace did not attack York during his invasion of England in late 1297, he only invaded Northumberland.
4. I don't think the Scots had heavy cavalry, according to Traquair they just had light cavalry at Bannockburn, I don't think they had cavalry at Stirling Bridge at all.
So I doubt if this person is a historical character, he could be a relatively minor fictional character, and therefore not notable. PatGallacher (talk) 01:16, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Crawford of Jordanhill

message: Thomas Crawford of Jordanhill is used in most of the historical references, which were written after his military career was over and his role as "gentleman", including provost of Glasgow was either ongoing or at the very least, more recent. I expect readers would expect this article title over any that include "Captain". This was used in the form "Captain Thomas" in the original 2006 version of the article and this in particular seems to be more of a genealogical term (used where all subjects have the same surname).

message: Including this house in this article, rather than in the Officers Row article, seems to have stemmed from the misperception (easy to make for out-of-towners), that Officers Row is a part of the Ft. Vancouver site. It is a part of the Ft.

Talk:Martin Schongauer

message: User:Johnbod has been expanding this article nicely, but for some reason he has removed the links to relevant articles in other languages again, without explaining why (the first time he said "don't let's have links to Russian articles please", the second time the deletion was described as "we really don't do this", and the third rather opaquely just "ce"), so here they are.

We clearly do "do this" - otherwise the templates would not exist - but rather than joining in the edit warring, I will leave them here so others can decide whether it is helpful to the reader to give links to the useful articles we have in other languages, or pretend that we don't know anything. As I said before, perhaps the links will encourage someone to translate some of them. 213.205.198.203 (talk) 10:32, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: We really don't do it very often, especially in this version with a redlink. These days WP is no longer littered with redlinks as it once was. Why is the French "Couvent des Dominicains de Colmar" relevant? They happen to have moved a painting there in 1973, but it isn't (as far as I can see) the one for which MS painted an altarpiece.  Equally, if people want to find out about the Unterlinden, they should start from that article. If we were going to add a whole lot of external links, the useful ones would be to entries on individual prints on the MET, BM and other websites, where they are good - I may yet add the BM biography myself.  Russian links should only be added, and then very sparingly, to topics with a strong Russian connection, which we don't have here. And then they should be added as notes, as I have added the Getty paeonies. "La Vierge au buisson de roses" looks excellent, I must say, though personally I'd rather have more articles on individual prints - so far there's just St Anthony.

Talk:William E. Miller

message: Sneering tone.
Is the sneering tone of this article (pretending that a well known Congressman and Chairman of the Republican National Committee was some sort of unknown and trivial figure) really necessary? The left used disinformation and propaganda (for example comparing Barry Goldwater to Adolf Hitler - in spite of the politics of Mr Hitler and Mr Goldwater being polar opposites and the Goldwater family being of Jewish origin) to win the 1964 election. Surely (fifty years after your deceive victory - which directly led to the Great Society programs that are now most of American government spending)you can stop the disinformation and propaganda now.90.208.40.196 (talk) 13:07, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Like Barry Goldwater, William E. Miller was on the Republican Pres./VP ticket and did not seek re-election to his seat in Congress.  What did the (New York?) law have to say about this (i.e., was it or was it not legal to also run for his seat in Congress)?
In 2012, Paul Ryan was the Republican VP nominee and also ran for his House seat.  He was not elected VP, but he was re-elected to the House (his district was subject to some shift because this is when the reapportionment from the 2010 census was kicking in).

The category "liqueurs" seems OK to me, because liqueurs are normally made by blending eau-de-vie with flavourings which may include fruit juices, and that covers Pineau.

message: The last sentence 
:"The definition of almost periodic function F is at a conceptual level to do with the translates of F being a relatively compact set. This needs to be made precise in terms of the topology used, in a particular theory."
could be rewritten in much better English, and in particular, the "is at a conceptual level to do" should definitely be changed.
Also, in a metric space, an alternative definition of relative compactness is that every sequence has a cauchy subsequence, no? It might be nice to mention that on the main page (unless it's not an equivalent definition, but I think it is). Lavaka 22:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Almost periodic function

message: There is a serious difficulty with the definition as given ("relatively compact = has compact closure");  in a non-Hausdorff space, we can have compact sets which are not relatively compact.
