message: I've heard from Juan Croucier that Warren DeMartini was a guitarist for Dokken for two weeks, filling in for George Lynch, but I don't know much about this.

message: Should Warren be considered a virtuoso guitarist? Or does he mimic someone else's guitar playing style?-Cory pratt10:22 July 24, 2006
Personaly I'm not too sure about the title virtuoso. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm unaware of any full intrumental recordings. I think he is an exceptional underated guitar player that I have many hours of listening to. I think that the time period that he was in the public eye, his talents were greatly overshadowed by other guitarists. Mick Mars was, I feel, another victim of this as well. I personaly think that his true talent lies in his rhythm playing. I've always thought this about Eddie Van Halen as well. Some guitar players just have that. They capture you with cool rhythm licks, and feed a basic solo into it. I'm certainly not putting either of them down for it, but anyone that knows anything about guitar playing can easily hear this. I would first like to hear a full instumental recording from Warren before making a decision on this subject. Hey, Here's one for all you guitar people out there. Paul Gilbert has an instrumental CD out now called "Get Out of My Yard." This is fantastic. I bought it off of Amazon. It's a five star. Peace to all, --IBANEZ470 17:32, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would call him a virtuoso guitarist, but in reality it's almost a matter of opinion in who we call virtuosos today.  One of the definitions of virtuoso is a person who excels in musical technique or execution.  I do believe Warren has a very special technique and style that sets him apart from most rock guitarist.  I don't think having a similar technique to George_Lynch_(musician) makes him fall out of the virtuoso category also. 170.97.167.61 (talk) 01:14, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Virtuoso? 

message: The following passage from the article is patently false:
"Warren uses finger vibrato, similar in style to George Lynch. This technique features moving the finger/wrist rapidly back and forth along the length of the string to alter the pitch (like a violinist), as opposed to bending the string."
The above statement is false due to the fact that vibrato on a fretted instrument is only achievable by moving the fingers perpendicular to the strings. Moving the fingers parallel to the string will change the pitch of a ringing string by only discrete, half-step values.
Changes in the pitch of a ringing string that are produced by sliding the fingers parallel to the string are called "slides".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngstevens2 (talk • contribs) 15:39, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

# I have assumed that fluents are truth-valued for the sake of simplicity, but this is not always the case; I think the better solution is to add a separate paragraph rather than making the definition more general from the beginning;
# I have used “the predicate On(box,table) ... ”; this is of course not a predicate but a literal using that predicate. Is there any way to say something correct without introducing the complication “we use a predicate On so that On(box,table) ... ”?

thread_title:  Momus 

message: "The series features two other central characters, siblings Dan (Julian Barratt) and Claire Ashcroft. Dan – an instantly recognisable Brooker point-of-reference – dislikes everything Nathan Barley stands for, while Claire seeks to highlight the plight of the inner city's homeless and drug-dependent. Ironically, while Dan sees a clear distinction between himself and the "idiots", he's frequently forced to compromise his own ethics in order to earn a living, and seems to be fighting the dawning realisation that he may actually be the very thing he despises. At the same time, Claire, who clearly wants to see herself as socially responsible and philanthropic, ultimately only seeks to further her own career. This sets the scene for an unusually open-ended, and certainly introspective, satire-bordering-on-social-commentary."

The article already existed and I didn't feel like moving the article in order to change the title.

Talk:Lilla Cabot Perry

message: While I very much admire the work of Lilla Cabot Perry, I disagree with the statements that she is "responsible for introducing impressionism to her native United States" and (in the entry on American Impressionism) that "she introduced impressionism to the United States". These statements to not seem to accord with historical facts. For reference I use the book "American Impressonism, 2nd edition" by William Gerdts, who is generally acknowledged as the leading historian on American Impressionist art. 
Lilla Cabot Perry first visited Giverny and Claude Monet in 1889. 
Six years earlier, however, the first significant exhibition of French impressionism took place in Boston (Gerdts, pp. 50-52), with works by Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Sisley, and Monet. Gerdts writes, "Thus for the first time the American public had an opportunity to view a full representation of the new aesthetic". 
In 1886 a second, even larger exhibition of 290 French impressionist works from the famed dealer Durand-Ruel took place in New York. Gerdts writes that the exhibition had "an enormous impact".
While Perry may have attended one or both of these exhibitions, I haven't read any evidence that she had a role in their organization. 
Neither was Perry the first American artist to visit Giverny and Monet, nor the first American artist to paint in an impressionist style. She was preceded in Giverny by Theodore Robinson, who moved in next door to Monet in 1888 and may have been there as early as 1886, and by John Leslie Breck and Dennis Miller Bunker. "Bunker's impressionist pictures and those sent from France by John Leslie Breck were among the earlist native Impressionist works seen in Boston in the late 1880s" (Gerdts, p. 85). 
I cordially invite contributors familiar with the work of Lilla Cabot Perry and American Impressionism to provide evidence in support of the statements referenced above.

message: I am unable to find a source for:
* Much of Perry’s oeuvre was influenced by the time she spent with Stevens. The Letter [Alice Perry] (1893) clearly reveals Stevens' influence with Perry's elegant handling of the turned details of the chair, the careful attention paid to the coloration of the wood, and the tactile reality she imbued her daughter's garment with – every pleat of the dress evokes its three-dimensional fullness. All of this combined with Perry's careful handling of Alice’s face creates an emotional, introspective composition.
