thread_title:  Sprucing up this article 

message: While I agree that Two Solitudes is one of his notable works, I also feel that The Watch That Ends the Night is worth a spot in the notable works box. 
Stephen Bonnycastle, a literary critic states that "There seems to be agreement that [The Watch That Ends the Night] is MacLennan's best novel, and a fairly general consensus that it is one of the most important novels in the body of Canadian literature" (It's from his essay titled "The Power of The Watch That Ends the Night", and can be found in Contemporary Literary Criticism, volume 92, page 331. I just don't know how to use the reference thingy.)
I don't know how to put stuff into the box, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can help.

Talk:Janika Balaž

message: The currently existing Hungarian family name Rác is in the most cases written as Rácz. Normally you would have written rác instead of rácz, if you wanted to use it for the nation (which is in fact not very common since it holds a kind of pejorative meaning), Rácz is a bit old-fashioned, but this phenomenon is common in Hungarian first names (e.g. Tóth instead of Tót (meaning Slovak), Horváth instead of Horvát (meaning Croat) etc.). In fact Rácz is a currently existing Hungarian first name among the Hungarians living in Serbia, too. See for example the politician Rácz Szabó László (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A1cz_Szab%C3%B3_L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3). So it is very likely that his original family name was Rácz. But since I can't prove that, I don't want to modify it. Fcsaba 13:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wrote it from Serbian source , which said just "Rac" (transcribed) so I, possibly wrongly, reconstructed it back to Rác. If you think that Rácz is more plausible, be my guest. I'm relatively familiar with Hungarian phonology (not with the language!) but "c" versus "cz" is a mystery to me – are they pronounced differently, or is it just an etymological difference?Duja► 14:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just wanted to say, you could even say "(or Rácz)", there are enough names on Wikipedia which are given in multiple variations for a number of reasons. The actual link sends you to a page not about the Hungarian wordname, but the collective name for the Slavic people of the region at a certain time. That too can be ammended freely. Evlekis 14:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

text: According to the Serbian "upiši kao što govoriš" rule some parts of the name "disappear". It is same pronounced. I think in such cases 'z' comes from the German, where it is pronounced 'c'. See for example krajcár (a kind of small money) and its older form krajczár. Fcsaba 12:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The write how you hear policy was a Vuk Karadžić brainwave. To be honest, I am sure that the way Rác(z) appears is based on either an earlier spelling, though most unlikely for Serbs or Orthodox Slavs as in Karadžić's time given that they used Cyrillic. The diacritic above the /a/ looks more Hungarian in character, but it is used by the Banatian Bulgarians for what is their own language, I don't know how close they come to all this. I must say that I didn't know Hungarian had this feature. I know of "h" following "t" in words such as "Horvath", and names such as "Nemeth", and I know about the unusual /y/ on endings such as the former PM Medgyjessy (if it's spellt correctly), meant to sound like an /i/. But a /z/ ending is interesting, you realise that following a /c/ gives one to asume the sound is as in chop, because that is how the Polish use /cz/, like Hungarian /cs/. But if the influence is German then yes, it will blend in with the /c/ because as far as I know, the German sound is /ts/ or sometimes /dz/. Evlekis 12:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ryan deGraffenried

message: By way of explaining my deletions of references to DeGraffenreid as Lt. Governor: as the article states, he was the President Pro Tem of the Senate when Guy Hunt was convicted, and Jim Folsom, Jr. became Governor.  He was also a senator from Tuscaloosa County, and continued to vote and act as a senator after Folsom became Governor.
The Alabama Constitution does not make provision for the filling of the office of Lt. Governor in the event it becomes vacant.  True, deGraffenreid did preside over the Senate for the rest of the term (see, Ala. Const., Art. IV § 48 and Amend. 57), and he was, for the rest of that term, next in line to the Governorship (Ala. Const., Art. V § 127).  The Lt. Governor can only vote in case of a tie, (Ala. Const., Art. V § 117), whereas DeGraffenreid continued to vote as a Senator.  The Constitution has provisions for filling vacancies in the offices of Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Auditor and Agriculture Commissioner, but not Lt. Governor. (Ala. Const., Art. V § 136).  Finally, DeGraffenreid's exercise of his Senate office is inconsistent with holding the office of Lt. Governor, as there is a ban against a legislator holding another state office at the same time. (Ala. Const., Art. IV § 59).  There would have had to have been a special election for his Senate seat, which there was not.
In the interest of full disclosure, I inquired of a knowledgable and impartial third party - the Alabama Department of Archives and History - whether these constitutional provisions meant that their webpage, then listing DeGraffenreid as a Lt. Governor, was in error.  Their research department determined that he was never Lt. Governor, and they removed him from their list of former Lt. Governors.  It was also pointed out that, by way of precedent, the Department of Archives and History had never listed the then-President Pro Tem, whoever he was, as Lt. Governor from 1968-71, after Albert P. Brewer, then the Lt. Governor, became Governor on the death of Lurleen Wallace.  The Department's current webpage listing Lt. Governors can be seen at Alabama Department of Archives and History: Alabama's Lieutenant Governors.  Because the Alabama Department of Archives and History made the determination, not myself, I feel secure that this edit of the article does not violate WP:NOR.  If the Department changes their mind, I am fine with the article reverting, but I don't think they will.
I would ask that any person feeling that the Department of Archives and History got it wrong to discuss it here, rather than trying to start an edit war. see, WP:CONS.    Audemus Defendere (talk) 15:23, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Removed him from their list of Lt. Govs? Hrm. Because, if I recall, that was the main reason I included him on List of Governors of Alabama. It doesn't count as OR, and thank you very much for confirming this with the state. The question of DeGraffenried really confused me while working on that list, so I guess it's resolved now. --Golbez (talk) 16:32, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Hugo Meisl

message: At first let's speak about the terms "Schmieranski" (and "Schmieranski team": "Schmieranski" is a humorous but derogatory term used in Austria, especially in its capital Vienna, a nickname for newspaper journalists). Therefore, a "Schmieranski team" is a football team whose selection suggested by the newspaper journalists. It is clear that at that time, newspapers were the main medium – not alone in Austria, but in very many other countries (in Austria, the first radio broadcast was sent on April 1st, 1923, in the very beginning – you may say, "radio was still at the beginning". TV began on October 1st, 1955, but even in Germany it was introduced on Christmas Eve in 1951, in Italy on New Year’s Eve in 1954). Like in all other countries, journalists will always criticize team managers in order to force their own ideas about team selections.
Meisl, permanently appointed as bank clerk since 1905, was able to speak (besides German) perfectly English, Czech, Italian and French, and was fluent in Swedish, Spanish and Dutch as well. Therefore he has become an indispensable representative of the Austrian Football Federation to the FIFA in 1907. An anecdote -told again and again- is that in 1931, as the Manager of the Wunderteam, he created the so-called "Schmieranski Team". Even though there are voices that the anecdote may not be true; but basing on reports in present, high quality media you can take it that the story for sure.
 
It is told as following: Even though Mr. Meisl knew the genius player Mathias Sindelar, he didn't nominate him  The journalists wanted the nomination of Sindelar for the international match vs Scotland, taking place in Vienna on May 16th, 1931. Meisl agreed after some verbal arguments, and (by getting angry), in a very well known Viennese coffeehouse, he threw a piece of paper to the journalists saying: " Do hobt's euer Schmiranskiteam" ("There is your Schmieranskiteam "). 
The following is absolutely true: It is told that the "Schmieranskiteam" became the best in the world (at that time). 
By the way, the match vs. Scotland was won  5-0 (at first time the Scots were defeated on the continent). 
The journalists believed that they were not only critics but also football specialists but they had less influence than Mr. Meisl let(made) them think. There were a lot of tactical and psychological refinement in his (team)selections. The newspaper of that time, "Sport - Montag" (maybe translated as "Sport Monday"), once wrote enthusiastically: All were fascinated by the completely new style of this team, the speed of its wingers, the sporty elegance and overview of Sindelar, the somnambulistic reasoning of the whole team with the consequence  that the victory was no real fight but was won just kicking at their best. 213.225.32.172 (talk) 12:12, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

message: The article mentions that he was homosexual, with a reference to a page of Belgian broadcaster rtbf. While I have no doubts that the rtbf is usually factual, could a better source (like an interview with the man himself) be provided? The way I heard it, he always remained ambiguous about his sexuality. If so, it's not improbable that he was homosexual, but not enough to say he was with certainty.

Talk:New Cambridge Paragraph Bible

message: This a very nice article, but I'd like to raise the point that in some parts the tone of the article becomes openly positive. It definitely praises the subject such as:
(emphasis mine, to indicate the non-neutral phrasing)
"In summary, the New Cambridge Paragraph Bible is a valuable edition of the KJV text, and Prof. Norton's editing represents an important contribution to both religious and English literature. Although it may be too soon to measure the full impact of this volume, it seems safe to say that Norton's work, and his companion study in Textual History, will necessarily have a far-reaching influence on any subsequent scholars who deal with the King James Version's history or its text."
". Norton gives a fascinating look into the process"  
That is it for specific problems. But still, the article speaks very glowingly of Norton. There isn't ANY mention of any criticism, or negative viewpoints. --Pstanton (talk) 23:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
