Talk:BMW Isetta

message: Dear Redactors,
Isetta is a bubble car model developed by Italian Iso originally. I think a separate entry for Isetta should be very useful instead of redirecting it to BMW  Isetta because this model under the name Isetta used to be produced by several companies not only BMW

:Nevermind.  There appears to be some differentiation. --Stevietheman 18:00, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: (This wiki has many spelling mistakes which need to be corrected.)
As identified in the article, software inspection is recognized as a form of *peer review* in the software world, but there are at least two deficiencies that should be remedied.
1.  The Wikipedia entry on "peer review" considers only the academic publication use of the term, not the software engineering use.
2.  The brief discussion of "peer review" in the "software inspection" article omits "technical review" as a type of formal peer review (see IEEE 1028), and omits informal peer review (group review, "buddy check") altogether.
See further comments under the "peer review" article.

To add to this problem I'm not sure that we have everyone listed who has ever been called Saint Vincent.  The feast day of January 22nd certainly doesn't appear to refer to any of the saints that we have listed because:
* Vincent de Paul's feast day is July 19

replies: text: Yoshitoshi ABe →  – I'm making this move request because I'm growing very tired of having to constantly write (and read) "ABe".
Per WP:UE:
WP:COMMONNAME analysis:
*Napier uses "Abe Yoshitoshi" in Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke.
*Clements & McCarthy  use "Abe Yoshitoshi" in the 2015 The Anime Encyclopedia and remark "He favors unorthodox typography and likes his name to be written with the Y in lower case and the B in upper. We prefer to keep our English-language text readable."
*The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (2021 entry) uses "Yoshitoshi Abe".
*Marc Hairston writing in Mechademia uses "Abe Yoshitoshi"
*ANN often uses "Yoshitoshi ABe" but has had some trouble lately in staying consistent 
*Otaku USA used "Yoshitoshi aBe" (???????) in 2022.
*Many other review sites have used "ABe", e.g. Anime Feminist.
My opinion is that we should go with the academics and other tertiary sources in order to "keep our English-language text readable". His own preference is "yoshitoshi ABe", so our current title is a strange compromise anyway.

replies: text: All I know is what I read: OED quotes Journal of Hellenic Studies XXI. 108 (1901): "It seems natural to interpret names of Carian sanctuaries like Labranda in the most literal sense as the place of the sacred labrys, which was the Lydian (or Carian) name for the Greek πέλεκυς, or double-edged axe." (Is that Arthur Evans being quoted, btw?) And Plutarch: "And having set up a statue of Zeus, he put the axe in his hand and called the god, "Labrandeus," labrys being the Lydian word for 'axe'. (Λυδοὶ γάρ ‘λάβρυν’ τὸν πέλεκυν ὀνομάζουσι." My error about "pelekos"!

replies: text: You are right, it seems that the word indeed came to mean "double-axe" in particular. There was even a term hemipelekus for single-edged ones. It was however also used  for "axe" in general. The word is cognate to Sanskrit parashu, which also seems to mean axe in general, but it is likely ultimately a loan from Sumerian balag (rather, who loaned whose word back in 4000 BC cannot now be established...) dab (ᛏ) 11:13, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: it's slightly more complicated than that. pelek'u- may have been a loan into the Proto-Indo-European language, as it is not identifiable as containing any known PIE root. It may be a neolithic "Wanderwort", referring to stone axes, that is also reflected in Sumerian, and it may have originally been a term for any axe, and only later, as an archaic word with ritual/sacrificial overtones been associated with the double-axe, that had similar archaic connotations. All this  would probably all belong on a more general axe article, or maybe on a special pelekus article, but I agree with your reference to the word now. dab (ᛏ) 13:14, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Yamanote Line

message: I came across a section of text saying "In the mornings, certain counter-clockwise trains start from Tamachi (which is more efficient, being located close to the Yamanote Line depot near Ōimachi)".
Of course it maybe true that some trains start service at Tamachi - but stating that this would be more efficient because of its location close to the depot... that's just plain wrong IMO. The tracks from the Oimachi depot lead pretty much straight to Osaki station - and are even heading the "wrong" way at that. The only way to get from that depot to Tamachi, is by going to Osaki station first, then reverse direction, go over 4km and through Shinagawa station... hardly "more efficient" than simply starting at Osaki itself. (If in doubt: just fire Google Earth up and look thoroughly - you can see the depot, the tracks, the stations and all very clearly there, even when you have never been to Tokyo.) So there's probably other reasons to do that - but not being close to the depot. Or has the author of that part confused the Yamanote Oimachi depot with that other depot on Tokaido (main) line between Shinagawa and Tamachi?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.141.33.52 (talk) 23:17, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi there, I'm kinda new to this level of accurateness on intervals and the such, but I was told that (on non-tempered instruments) a B flat is not the same as an A sharp.
Of course, on a piano, or any fretted string instrument this can't be taken into account, but as I said, on any non-tempered instrument like strings on an orchestra or the human voice, there might actually be such a difference. I'm not sure how the intervals on the diatonic scale were created, but I know it has something to do with the harmonic scale... well...
The point to which I'm trying to get is that I believe the diminished second is not the same as an unison. And instead of having any information reflecting this fact(?), all I see is a link on diminished second to this page, isn't this somewhat misleading?
