Talk:Counts and dukes of Guise

message: In regards the image on this page (Coat of arms of the Duke of Guise, House of Lorraine creation):
The label which appears on this image is not really appropriate for its use here. Nor, indeed, on any of the pages for Dukes of Guise. 
The label is the red thing stamped on the top of the shield (technically, a bar sanguine with pendants three). It is only blazoned upon a coat of arms in the case of a son being heir to a father. Since these various people actually assumed the Dukedom of Guise, they would only have worn the label during their minority - NOT while they were actually Dukes.
WikiMedia has a more appropriate file (File:Armoiries Lorraine-Vaudémont.png); I will make the corrections.

Talk:County of Artois

message: We have two articles on Artois : Artois as the historic French province prior to the revolution and County of Artois as, well, the county in a slightly broader scope. While I can easily see why articles such as those for Flanders should be kept separate due to its division between France & Belgium, this isn't the case for Artois, the province and county are one and the same, same history, same everything. I propose a merge as County of Artois (since the title is broader in scope than the French province Artois). Equendil Talk 12:21, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

message: *
Surely - "County" has a modern meaning which is not a meaningful translation of the original "compte" - if that's what Artois was? To my ear, "County of Artois" is a nonsense, hence my vote. "Region", "area", "part", "province" or whatever would be acceptable, but not "County."

Talk:County of Valentinois

message: WP:RVREASONS
The last Dauphiné, Humbert II de la Tour-du-Pin, depleted his treasury by funding an unsuccessful Crusade to conquer the Holy Land. After the death of his only son and heir, André, Humbert sold his lands to Philip VI of France in 1349 for 400,000 écus and an annual pension. To keep up appearances, the sale was referred to as a "transfer." In order to prevent the title from going extinct, Humbert instituted a statute whereby the Dauphiné was exempted from many taxes. This statute was subject to many parliamentary debates at the regional level, as local leaders sought to defend their autonomy and privilege against the state.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nestor 8998 (talk • contribs) 18:23, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

If the local stations hired broadcast personnel, but "everyone knows" that the clubs covertly ruled their broadcast partners, we should have a citation for that. 
*Barber took a regular network job, evidently without permission of his primary employer, the local station or the ballclub (see above). Or does the employment concept not apply (citation needed)? 
*Also throughout his career, did the networks routinely hire for the World Series the regular broadcast personnel of the participating teams? --P64 (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relations with clubs, owners, networks 

message: The initial telecasts of the Brooklyn Dodgers were limited to home games, as television networks were limited by the extent to which coaxial cabling had connected various stations.  http://www.earlytelevision.org/att_network.html The number of video cameras were also limited.  I started watching Dodger games on TV in 1949.  I recall Red Barber showing viewers an electrical device he used to show his cameraman the portion of the field he wanted the viewers to see during his commentary.  He had devised a diagram of the playing field with small bulbs he could illuminate while continuing to talk to the audience.  I’m not sure this can be included in the article based solely on my recollection. Btm1 (talk) 23:42, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Red Barber Contribution to Baseball telecasting 

message: As mentioned in the article, "While running CBS Sports, Barber became the mentor of another redheaded announcer. He recruited the Fordham University graduate Vin Scully for CBS football coverage, and eventually invited him into the Dodgers' broadcast booth to succeed Harwell in 1950 (after the latter's departure for the crosstown New York Giants).” 
My recollection differs, in that I recall Red Barber, Vince Scully, and a third person sharing broadcast and telecast duties before the Dodgers left Brooklyn in 1957. (Coincidently, I moved to the Los Angeles area the same year so I was able to continue being a Dodger fan.)  I think that third person was either Connie Desmond or Ernie Harwell. Note that the article implies the Dodger broadcasts were not part of Barber’s CBS Sports job but instead the telecasts were on New York City’s Channel 9, WOR, owned by the Mutual Broadcasting System, and the radio broadcasts were on WMGM/WHN. The CBS TV station in New York City was Channel 2. Btm1 (talk) 00:07, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Among other things I have directly called the novel a parody in the lead and revised the  Genre(s) from Fantasy, High fantasy to Fantasy novel, parody. I think it cannot be high fantasy if it is set in a parody high fantasy world —in a previous editor's words, with meaning that I have tried to retain in better words.
The cover illustration for the first UK edition (ref 1) suggests to me that the classification parody is no exaggeration. The article would benefit from using that front cover image rather than the first US (also ref 1). 
P.S. By the way, US Library of Congress summary is "Derk, an unconventional wizard, and his magical family become involved in a plan to put a stop to the devastating tours of their world arranged by the tyrannical Mr. Chesney."

message: Apparently, no one has has anything good to say about this book because it is sexist. Well, folks, that's the way it is. This is one of the best descriptions of what it takes for "accidental colonists" to survive and leave progeny. Yes, the women have to have the babies, because the men can't. Yes, there has to be some kind of social order imposed, because without it, everyone will die, and their children, too. And upon reading things like: "It's just so bizarre, this endless litany of women behaving like spoilt children by following careers (at least, this is how it's written) and then refusing to recognize the biological imperative of childbirth and having to be set straight by men. What the hell." which is on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/673158.Darkover_Landfall) all I can say is, what the hell. No, I didn't get that from it at all. It is the women who explain what needs to be done for the colony to survive, and Camilla Del Rey is addicted to doing her job. But if you make everything into a political issue, it's all bad.
