Talk:Tonus

message: Tonus is not just muscle tone, it's also used to discuss the tonicity of arteries, etc. As a musical term it has essentially zero currency, as a medical term it's a reasonably "hot" item. 
There's probably a way to disambiguate, but if  this entry is changed, don't merely re-direct it and lose this important meaning of the term.

replies: text: Hi, Love26, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please note that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so starting an article off with "A dictionary entry..." is a bad idea. Also, Wikipedia already contains a detailed article about muscle tone, so describing it again on this page (especially without even linking to muscle tone) is also a bad idea. On the other hand, I can't find a Wikipedia article about this other meaning you mention related to arteries, so starting an article on that might be a good idea and I encourage you to do so. Happy editing! —Keenan Pepper 04:08, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

They are about concepts. If the same word can refer to two different concepts, there should be two different articles, and if two words refer to the same concept, there should be one article. —Keenan Pepper 21:28, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Table based rewrite 

message: I've spent a bit of time updating the tables of products to add in the references. I had previously used the links in the 'External Links' section as the references, but this formalises them, and helps people see what is and isn't referenced.
Suggestions:
* The article has gained a lot of Roland's other GM and GS products over time, Studio Canvas, CM-* etc, should these be split out to seperate articles?
* Track down references for the specs of all products in the tables that don't have references.
* Add to the prose at the begininging of the article a bit more of the history, what market were the sound canvases aimed at? Did they sell well? did they replace a class of products? have they been replaced by a class of products? (provided we can find references of course)
* Intro prose, I think the Sound Canvas used Linear Arithmetic synthesis on PCM samples, rather than just PCM.
* Are their any notable users or uses of the sound canvas? (with refs)

Talk:Divisions of Cameroon

message: There was some confusion earlier today as to which term is preferred for the Cameroonian subnational unit below the province. The French word is département, which leads to the English department. However, the term division is also used in English. All sources do not agree on whether division or department should be preferred in English, so here's a rundown on what source recommends which term:
Division: Gwanfogbe and Melingui, Geography of Cameroon; Neba, Modern Geography of the Republic of Cameroon; Macmillan School Atlas for Cameroon; Ngoh, History of Cameroon Since 1800; Government of Cameroon webpage.
Department: statoids.com; apparently the UN, but I can't find the webpage that says so.
At any rate, I believe we've settled at divisions for now. If anyone writes articles on specific divisions, be sure to create appropriate redirects from X department to X division. — BrianSmithson 00:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

What I've always hated, though, are the regional federations. Force3? Soccer 2? There's no continuity and some regions don't have "soccer" or "football" in their name. So, to make this relevant to a wikipedia talk page, I'll ask, is there any plan to rebrand these regional federations? Even knowing them as NZS District 1, District 2, District 3, etc., would sound better, in my humble American opinion. If so, add that bit to the article.

Talk:Trochaic octameter

message: I wouldn't mind someone double checking the scanning on that verse!  Sam 01:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

message: To Wikipedia
I think your article Trochaic Octameters is mistaken, because a trochaic line with eight feet is not an octameter but a tetrameter.   Why do I say this?   The Oxford Classical Dictionary, s.v. Metre, Greek (footnote, p. 680, 1970 edition), says, ‘In dactyls the metron, or unit of measurement, is the foot; in iambics, trochaics and anapaests it is the dipody, consisting of two feet.’   It goes on to give an example of a trochaic tetrameter (actually one that is catalectic, i.e. with the last two syllables reduced to one).   To show this, I use a dash for a long and a ‘u’ for a short, and an oblique stroke for the end of a metron: -u-u/-u-u/-u-u/-u-.
This may surprise even some who know some Latin and Greek.   Surely, they will say, what Homer, Virgil, etc. wrote was in hexameters, and a hexameter has six feet (hex in Greek means six).   Yes, but their hexameters were dactylic, and in dactyls the metron (above) is the foot.
You may not have many classical scholars left in America (even here in England there aren’t many left), but if you can find any they may remember that the dramatists like Aeschylus wrote their dialogues in iambic feet (an iambus is u-, the opposite of a  trochee), six feet to a line, and these are called iambic trimeters, not hexameters.
I hope this is useful.

Talk:Bricks without straw

message: What was the straw for? I don't get it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.65.24 (talk) 01:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: many clay products require the addition of other materials to add strength and durability.  In the case of bricks in OT Egypt -- river clay is usually composed of very fine particles and so would dry slowly.  Adding straw would "open up" the clay, allowing it to dry more readily and so be more promptly and successfully fired.  Adobe bricks used around the world are generally only sun dried but grasses, straw and other materials are added to the clay for the same basic reasons.  Hope that helps.

thread_title:  Purpose of straw 

message: The article right now says Moses and Aaron tell Pharaoh, "Let my people go," then Pharaoh punishes the Israelite labourers and foremen.  That seems to make little sense.  But before they sent delegates to the king, didn't the Israelites also revive an old custom of taking Sabbath day off work?  That seems to have been part of the trouble.
Dialogue attributed to Pharaoh paints him as concerned that time off for religious holidays cuts into the labour he's ordered, yet Pharaoh's subsequent actions suggest he puts a higher priority on re-establishing control over the workforce, than upon its output, since the measure he takes to punish the Israelites reduces their brick production.
Incidentally, BibleisTrue.com cites a scroll from a few lifetimes later, which records a missed quota attributed to slaves who hadn't gathered enough straw that day to complete the expected 2000 bricks.  (This daily quantity could represent the output of one busy brickmaker per gang.)
The same page mentions that straw, along with reinforcing (and perhaps ventilating, as User:WBardwin asserts above) the clay binder, the straw creates an ordinary-temperature chemical reaction with the clay.  The page cites another reference averring the straw more than triples the strength of those Lower Egyptian bricks.  Possibly straw may both speed and strengthen the curing process, but I could be confusing straw's properties with what I've heard elsewhere about the role of silica in hempcrete and Roman concrete.  Sorry I haven't time to sort it out or compose properly encyclopedic revisions.
Oh, and Egypt didn't fire bricks like everywhere else.  Forests were too scarce to burn in kilns.  They invented the straw technique instead, so they could use sun dried bricks everywhere.  --Egmonster (talk) 07:22, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:OXES

message: Look,
The Arab On Radar thing was a hoax.
The Old Navy thing was a hoax.
The monolith thing and Hendrix birthday things sound hoax-y, but are simple and ho-hum enough that they might be true.
I'm all in favor of cute pranks/ media manipulation... (OXES borrow heavily the band Negativland, particularly Negativland's infamous Helter Stupid stunt, in this respect.  And from the band The KLF to an even greater extent, particularly their money-burning stunt.) ...But Wikipedia should not be used as a means to propagate blatant hoaxes like these.  Does anyone really believe a mega-corporation like Old Navy would do what this article states it did?  Come on, people.  This band is notorious for its obsession with self-promotion via hoaxes (to make up for its rudimentary musical prowess), as the mentions of Luther Blissett and Lettrism indicate.  I would bet my firstborn that OXES picked that band name because its letters are found in the word "hoaxes."
I just think this article needs a big reality check, that's all.  But for now I'm content to just play the spoiler in this little Talk page, while letting the ruse continue in the main article.  Music should be Dadaist and fun at times.
By the way, the "protest" cover photo of their album entitled OXXXES is... yes, a hoax.
