Talk:Talk Talk

message: On the Beggars Banquet punk compilation Streets (punk album) there's a song called "Talk Talk Talk Talk" by a band called the Reaction.  It seems to be the same song as "Talk Talk" and the track was produced by Ed "Eddie and the Hot Rods" Hollis, Mark Hollis's brother.  Seems pretty obvious that the Talk Talk grew out of, or was, the Reaction, as this was Mark Hollis' first band. 192.58.204.226 19:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Time flies 

message: Hello,
can we agree to throw out "post-progressive" from the genre list? As far as I know, no other source uses this term to describe Talk Talk. It's not even an established genre, but a concept that appears in three or four books on progressive rock; no bands are commonly described as post-progressive. Also the Wikipedia page on "post-progressive" says that the label only applies to progressive rock bands, while most critics would agree that Talk Talk wasn't one, so this introduces confusion. I tried removing it myself, but an editor keeps restoring it without addressing my concerns. Chilton (talk) 18:57, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Terminology

message: One of the biggest problems with approaching any new book, study or realm of inquiry is that the writers of that field invariably use their own terminology.
I in particular would like to see some kind of section on Wikipedia that talks about philosophical terminology.
The portal should divide up words by author and definitions should be given in a dictionary like way for each author. For example ataraxia has a different meaning if you are talking about Nietszche than if you were to talk about Epicurus.
Does anyone know how to set this up, or have the time to start documenting words philosopher by philosopher?
Of course of wouldn't want to limit this to philosophy.

message: Just a small clarification about the plural form of terminology. Does the term terminologies exist? If so, it must be similar to the "peoples" type of plural since terminology, by itself is a collective noun. But many of us seem to be using terminologies where terminology would suffice. Thanks!
Terminology as a science is really unique, there are no more terminologies. However a terminology - a given system of terms of a given domain - is something different, and there are different terminologies even for one single domain, and of course for different domians people use different terminologies.

Talk:Haji Faiz Mohammed

message: Here is how the article reads as of today:
Mohammed Hagi Fiz is a frail elderly Afghani man who was detained in Camp X-Ray in the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Fiz, and two other Afghani man, Jan Mohammed and another elderly man Mohammed Sadiq, and elderly Pakistani, Mohammed Saghir were repatriated on October 29, 2002, after eight months detention. The four were among the first detainees to be repatriated.
Fiz said he was 105, but American authorities decided he was born in 1931.
The men described being chained, for hours, during their interrogations.
Some press reports described Fiz as barely able to conduct a conversation:
"..appeared to be in his 70s and was barely capable of carrying on a conversation--let alone of being a terrorist. 'Babbling at times like a child, the partially deaf, shriveled old man was unable to answer simple questions,' the New York Times reported. 'He struggled to complete sentences and strained to hear words that were shouted at him.' " 
Fiz said the Americans had initially captured him from his hospital bed.
Joaquin, please read WP:CSD. If it falls into any of the criteria there it is eligible for speedy deletion. I see nothing there that this article would fall into, so please stop asking meaningless questions on the talk page of articles. Please also do not post the article content here, we are all capable of reading it for ourselves. This is just more evidence of what seems to be your own personal vendetta against another Wikipedian.

I think we should not accept the DoD's estimate of his age as reliable.  Their estimates of the age of the minors they held was unreliable.  If "Faiz Mohammed" is "Mohammed Hagi Fiz" then even the DoD wasn't willing to stand behind their estimated age.  --  Geo Swan 02:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Madison did not need to include the checks and balances in Federalist 51, because they were already stated in the Constitution.  The Federalist Papers were not written primarily to inform the people, per say, of what was contained in the Constitution, but to rather use philosophical and logical arguments to prove that the system proposed by the Constitution, was, in fact, one of the best. --5ptcalvinist 03:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Norman Barrett grew up on his father's farm in Yorkshire. His father trained animals, predominantly horses and so Barrett Junior was a proficient horseman in his teens. He first began work with Bertram Mills rising quickly to become Equestrian Director, a post which carried with it a requirement to become Ringmaster. As Bertram Mills ceased touring, his tranfer to Blackpool Tower to take over from George Lockhart who had moved to Belle Vue was timely. It is vital that a Ringmaster has an encyclopaedic knowledge of ring safety. All Ringmasters can be seen silently whisking around any erected equipment such as safety nets for trapezes checking for tightness and strength of rig on all temporary structures.(Norman Barrett Autobiography)
With the demise of animal acts at the Blackpool Tower Circus, Barrett accepted a position with the soon to be, Hippodrome on Blackpool (South Shore)(Norman Barrett Autobiography) which was under construction for animal acts and which no longer appears to be in existence!

message: This article's scope needs to be adjusted to represent the wide variety of ringmasters in contemporary circus and non-American circuses.  I have tagged the article with a "globalize" tag because it currently consists of generalizations that only represent the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus school of ringmasters, making it sound as if that's the only type of ringmaster there is or ever was. I'm no expert, but I've seen enough circuses to know that all ringmasters don't wear the same outfit, say the same opening lines, or speak in the language of hyperboles described here. These traditions were never universal, even within American circus, and certainly not anymore.

Talk:Shot Tower (Dubuque)

message: Shot towers are incapable of making lead spheres of suitable size for combat use in muskets.  The Dubuque shot tower was built in 1856, when the standard US Army musket was the Model 1842 which was of 0.69 caliber (17.5mm); the largest lead ball that can be produced by the free-fall shot tower method is #2 shot (3.8mm) and from the less-than 40m Dubuque tower the maximum was #6 shot (2.4mm).  
Lead projectiles for muskets were cast.  Some were no doubt produced locally --- Dubuque was home to a significant lead mining industry --- but most would have been imported from factories in the eastern US.  And all --- locally made or imported --- would have been cast.  The shot tower method was simply incapable of producing lead spheres of the size necessary for combat use, nor of the consistent size to be acceptable for such use.
Military use of shot tower-produced shot was very minor.  Soldiers were issued shot for foraging: at the time hunting of small game and birds was encouraged to provide fresh meat.  There were few soldiers in the Midwest at this time; certainly nowhere near enough to justify the cost of building a shot tower to produce shot for their trivial foraging needs.  The primary reason for the construction of the shot tower was to produce shot, using locally mined lead, for sale to American settlers in the upper Midwest.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.178.166.3 (talk) 18:04, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
