Talk:William Kennedy Dickson

message: "W.K.L (William Kennedy Laurie) Dickson was born in 1860 in Minihic-sur-Ranse, France to an English father and a mother from Scottish descent."
http://www.learnaboutmovieposters.com/newsite/history/PEOPLE/WKLDickson/WKLDickson.asp
Shouldn't Dickson be described as Anglo-Scottish? His mother doesn't sound very French at all:
"His father, James Waite Dickson, was an artist, astronomer and linguist, claiming direct lineage from the painter Hogarth, and from Judge John Waite, the man who sentenced King Charles I to death. A gifted musician, his mother, Elizabeth Kennedy-Laurie Dickson, was related to the Lauries of Maxwellton (immortalised in the ballad Annie Laurie) and connected with the Duke of Athol and the Royal Stuarts."
http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/magazine.cfm?id=316242002
Dickson was born in France, and lived in France until 19. His mother was from Scottish origin, thus he should be mentioned as French-Anglo-Scottish.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grimko (talk • contribs) 16:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Dickson is categorized as a lot of things which this article, the cited sources and the incoming links say nothing about. If he was indeed notable as a violinist, an art historian, a sport shooter, an explorer, etc., then shouldn't the article say so? Or is it just vandalism that never got reverted? -- Jao (talk) 12:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the Wikipedia 120 film article, that format was not taken into use until 1901. So if Dickson split a roll film, it was most probably another roll film format. And, when is this supposed to have happened? It seems, not later than 1891. Garrrick (talk) 14:56, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Victor Kamber

message: It may be that Peter Green designed Politicards.  But Wikipedia's police is to cite sources.  The article clearly has an in-line citation which supports Kamber as the inventor of Politicards.  To substantively change this (e.g., remove it) is inappropriate. Wikipedia's policy is to make it clear (with citations from reliable sources!) to the reader that there is a published dispute over who invented Politicards.  Nevertheless, even if that source was added, having someone from Peter Greene Designs make this claim is self-interested self-dealing, and a no-no under Wikipedia policy. - Tim1965 01:00, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Who designed Politicards?

message: Politicardist, please stop changing this article without following Wikipedia guidelines.  First, Wikipedia requires verifiability.  Your changes do not include a citation or other verifiable source, while the current article does.  If there is a dispute about who created politicards, you should find a published source which provides an alternative view.  Then you should change the article so that this dispute in published sources is clear.  (For example, "While XYZ claims that Kamber created politicards, ABC says that John Doe did so" -- and provide inline citations to verifiable, published, legitimate sources.)  Second, you have a clear conflict of interest here. Wikipedia guidelines note: "Editors who may have a conflict of interest are not barred from participating in articles and discussion of articles where they have a conflict of interest, but must be careful when editing in mainspace. Compliance with this guideline requires discussion of proposed edits on talk pages and avoiding controversial edits in mainspace."  You are not discussing these issues on the talk page.  The Wiki conflict of interest (COI) guidelines also ask those who have a potential COI to note this on their Talk page. You have not done so.
Wikipedia's COI guidelines are quite clear:  "Content is not deleted just because somebody doesn't like it."  You need to follow Wikipedia's guidelines in this regard.  You clearly have a very valuable contribution to make to Wikipedia, and in-depth knowledge of the subject matter discussed in this article.  I strongly encourage you to contribute to this article and resolve this matter, but to do so in the manner suggested by Wikipedia's guidelines. - Tim1965 13:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I think your update would be terrific -- and would add a lot to this article!  But you need to get a citation for this.  Wikipedia's verifiability rules require that anything which might be challenged or which changes the conclusions of the article.  This is especially true of living persons. Find that citation, add it to the article, and put the revision back in.  Thanks! - Tim1965 (talk) 14:22, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

message: For Hefei the urban area is greater than the metro area and the population density is lower.
Yet, Wikipedia is quite clear that the urban area is the core of a city, and the metro area includes the urban area plus surrounding satellite areas and cities. Consequently the metro surface area must be greater, and the population density would almost always be lower.
Are these numbers reversed?
 • Urban	5,670,000
 • Urban density	6,800/km2 (18,000/sq mi)

Talk:Wu Zixu

message: To answer your claim that "Ng IS HIS SURNAME [sic]", in fact his surname is 伍. "Ng" is merely one of many possible regional romanizations of the name. 
In general, Chinese names in wikipedia should have romanization in pinyin, other romanizations (except possibly Wade-Giles) are not needed and usually irrelevant. However there are exceptions; names which have become firmly established in English, eg "Kuomingtang" etc, or names which are specific to one particular locality, eg in the case of Cantonese; names which are specific to Hong Kong or Guangdong.  
The names of other Chinese historical figures such as Qin Shi Huang, Zhuangzi or Sima Qian etc only have pinyin and/or Wade-Giles romanizations, why should Wu Zixu be any different? LDHan 16:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Wu Zixu" romanization

message: Hi, I recently changed the pinyin of 員 to yun, but LDHan changed it back to yuan. The character 員 has multiple pronunciations, and the 員 in 伍員 should be pronounced as yún. This is correctly indicated in the Chinese version of this article. Smaller dictionaries might not indicate this pronunciation.
Links to online dictionaries which indicate this pronunciation:

thread_title:  員 

message: It seems very unlikely that Wu Zixu was born in 526 BC. The Shiji (chapter 14) states that he fled to Wu in 522 BC, after his father and brother were executed by the king of Chu. In his Shiji biography, his father then describes him as a "fiery young man", so he certainly was not 3 or 4 years old. Note also that he helped prince Guang to the throne of Wu in 515BC, and was certainly older than 11 back then...
I don't think the year of his birth is mentioned in ancient texts, but somewhere between 540 and 545 BC is probably close to the truth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fcharton (talk • contribs) 21:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Cutting the Stone

message: Bosch's "The Extraction of the Stone of Madness (The Cure of Folly) is referenced in Michael Connelly's novel "A Darkness More Than Light" (first published 2000).  The title of the painting however appears to have been misquoted (purposely?) as being named "The Stone Operation".  Connelly's famous LAPD detective is named after Hieronymous Bosch and the story draws links between the painter's work and the detection surrounding a suspected serial killer.  The owls representing evil in a number of the painter Bosch's works, are an intrinsic link to the novel. Martinma 04:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The majority opinion is that the painting was created by Bosch. Reference 1  says it was "probably painted by Bosch," but suggests the version in the Prado was possibly a copy of the original, painted in his workshop or by a follower.  Of course, the Prado disputes this. https://redlegagenda.com/2016/08/09/does-technological-analysis-destroy-the-romance-of-art-history/ http://theartnewspaper.com/news/prado-pulls-two-works-from-landmark-bosch-exhibition-/
Whether or not the version in the Prado is a replica or copy, there doesn't seem to be any dispute that the original version of Cutting the Stone was painted by Bosch. I'm going to change the article back so that it refers to the painting as attributed to Bosch. Anyone who wants may add in a discussion of the dispute about the version of the painting in the Prado. But, please include some reliable sources.
