Talk:Rowlatt Act

message: The Rowlatt Act was taught as negative in my high school history class, and the Patriot Act is very controversial. I'm not sure I like the direct comparison between the two: it doesn't sound impartial. Anyone agree?
What more did the Rowlatt acts do besides give authorities power to arrest people etc.  Was there ever an abolition of the Rowlatt Acts?

thread_title:  "he"? 

message: I am not qualified to write anything about medieval music but I was wondering if someone familiar with Anonymous IV would consider a new article.
There was a medieval scholar who explained that if you sang an E-major chord in a song in C-major the "G# note that is the major third of the E-major chord is a note that doesn't occur in the C-major scale, so it sounds wonderful, especially if you jump up to high notes on that chord. (C-major is just an example. It could be done in a G-major song, in which case the chord is B-major.)
Another idea he had was singing a G#-major chord in a song in C. The note G# is really remote from the C-major scale, but the D# (the G#-major chord's fifth) is the C-major key's blue-minor third and the major third of a G# major chord (C) is in fact just the root of the key. Again he advocated jumping to a high note when singing it. Again C-major is just an example. In an E-major song the chord would be C-major.
The name of this medieval scholar, about whom I wish there was a Wikipedia article, was Fab IV, and as was the case with Anonymous IV and Anonymous 4, there was, in the 20th century, a group frequently referred to as the Fab 4. With the "the", this time.
Another medieval scholar who lived just before Fab IV has been termed, logically, Pre-Fab IV. He extensively explained a song (I'm a Believer) which I gather is some kind of affirmation of the Christian faith.

"The FA did have one very rare and conservative feature for an electronically controlled camera. Nippon Kogaku's philosophy that a camera must always work when called upon resulted in the FA's backup ability to operate without batteries - albeit in a very limited fashion: completely manual mechanical control with two shutter speeds (1/250th second, marked M250, or Bulb) and without the light meter."--John Bessa (talk) 20:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
