message: There are certainly some references to the mother's influence. I have added a citation to one journal. It states "It is no surprise that Le Guin’s work should be influenced by anthropology. Le Guin’s mother, Theodora Kroeber, pursued graduate studies in anthropology, participated in an archaeological dig in Peru’s Nazca Valley, co-authored a journal article on methodologies in cultural anthropology (Clements, Schenck, and Brown, 1926), published a collection of retellings of California Native American legends in 1959 (Kroeber, 2005), and later married the anthropologist Alfred Louis (A.L.) Kroeber, one of the most influential American cultural anthropologists of the first half of the 20th century." and "The influence of her parents’ involvement with anthropology on Le Guin’s upbringing, education, and intellectual development was therefore profound.". There are assuredly other citations available. MarcGarver (talk) 13:56, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I certainly don't object to the notion that Theodora K. influenced her daughter. But where Alfred K.'s influence is universally described as anthropological, Theodora's career, and influence, were far more varied and complex. When discussing Le Guin's use of anthropologist protagonists, the vast majority of sources I've read (and if you'll pardon the brag, this is a topic on which  I have read a lot of sources) describe the influence of Alfred, and per WP:DUE that's the description I had written in. "Le Guin's father and mother were anthropologists" glosses over a lot of this nuance. I've tried to rework this somewhat, but I'm not very happy with that bald statement based on a single source: and even that source does not equate the two. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:10, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems reasonable (and I prefer your edit). It seems probable she grew up in a home where both parents were influential (hardly unreasonable) but as you say the source generally albeit not exclusively credit the father's influence. So that's the way it should be weighted. MarcGarver (talk) 16:49, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:List of violists

message: There have been a couple of new entries recently, by the same IP address. This IP vandalised the viola page, but I can't be sure of the merits of the edits here. I have found references to Nicholas Bootiman possibly as an upcoming new soloist, but the only reference to Emmanuella Reiter I have found is in an NEC program as a recent Master of Music recipient. Can anyone offer information on these two people? Aethir 06:17, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I think it odd that ALL of the entires here have Wikipedia pages. As anyone knows (or could guess), there are numerous violists who could be listed here but probably are not simply because no one has written a page about them yet. Every once in a while you even find some idiot deleting things from a page for this reason alone. I wonder if that sort of sloppy thinking (and I use the word "thinking" loosely) has happened here.

This recording had sold over 25,000 CDs since its release in 1998.

Talk:Jasenovac concentration camp

message: There is interesting research that I would like to place close to the end of the section 
“ Post-war victim number estimates »
And just before the paragraph: 
 In his 1989 book, Franjo Tudjman, the future president of Croatia,...
Recent research, by Dragan Pavlovic, a French scientist of Yugoslav origin, was based on extrapolation from big numbers i.e. from the growth of the total population in Yugoslavia from 1921. to 2021. showed that the population growth during the last 70 years was surprisingly linear so it was possible to extrapolate the fall during the WW2 years to be about 2.5 million. That number could only be explained by the Jasenovac and other NDH unrecorded victims whose number could not be smaller than 500.000 and, as the author claimed, probably was close to the earlier estimated 700.000.
Reference:
Dragan Pavlovic, Genocide in the Croatian NDH Jasenovac camp complex: only one thing is certain: there were more than 500.000 victims, in Dragan Pavlovic, American delusion or MEIT (Military and Economical Integrative Totalitarianism), Dialogue, Paris and Čigoja štampa, Belgrade, 2022, p. 241 – 246, ISBN 978-86-531-0822-9.

Talk:Babson task

message: I know for a fact that chess games, whenever played, are in the public domain, but does anybody know whether the same is true of problems? I suspect not, although the Yarosh and Drumare problems referred to in the article are quite widely reproduced. I'd love to give diagrams for them, but don't want to run into copyright problems. I've written a couple of emails to people, but if anybody knows whether they're OK to put here, let me know and I'll stick them up (I have the .pngs on my computer, waiting to go). --Camembert
I can answer my own question: , from the British Chess Problem Society (of which I'm a lapsed member) says "If you are a chess writer and want to publish a chess problem, feel free to do so. There is no copyright on chess problems. But do acknowledge its composer and where it was first published (its source)". I'll put the Yarosh and Drumare problems up later tonight. --Camembert

I realise that the solutions given here are not complete - if somebody wants to provide them in full, I'd suggest putting them on the image page rather than in the article (with a pointer to where they are of course), in order to avoid cluttering the article up too much. --Camembert

Talk:Alphonse Picou

message: Dear Sir, 
How has Picou come to be credited with creating the clarinet solo to High Society? The solo appears in its entirety in the band parts for High Society published in 1902. Did Picou ever record the solo? 
I have a record of Prince's band made in 1911 with the solo played as a piccolo part. 
I have never heard anyone play the piccolo obbligato completely correctly. Most play the first 8 bars and then improvise something of their own. 
I suppose it is called the Picou solo because he used to play it. It would be interesting to know exactly what he did play. 
Yours sincerely, 
John Reade. 
sue.reade@virgin.net
: Picou recorded High Society several times in the 1940s and 1950s, some of which are availible on cd (including with Papa Celestin's band and on the American Music cd "Prelude to the Revival"); there's even film footage of him playing it.  As the article notes, he based the clarinet solo on the piccolo obligato, though changing the instrument and modifying it some.  -- Infrogmation 18:01, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Murder of Laci Peterson

message: Hello! This is really more of a note to bring attention to an issue rather than an explanation of an edit.
Per MOS:SURNAME, we should generally refer to persons on first reference by their full name and by their surname only on subsequent references. Per MOS:SAMESURNAME, when multiple persons have the same surname, the subject of the article should be referred to by their surname on subsequent references, while other persons should be referred to by their given name.
Here, we refer to both Laci Peterson and Scott Peterson by their first name. I think the choice as to Laci predated my time on this article, but I also think it's justifiable. There isn't really a single person who is the "subject" of this article; rather, the subject of the article is an act against one person for which another person has been convicted. As such, to the extent that MOS:SAMESURNAME applies, I think it's a reasonable application of WP:IAR to disregard it, but I wanted to flag the issue just in case anyone disagrees.--Jerome Frank Disciple 13:31, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
