Talk:Uncle Tom's Children

message: Uncle Tom's Children is a collection of novellas and the first book published by African-American author Richard Wright, who notably went on to write Native Son (1940), Black Boy (1945), and The Outsider (1953).  When it was first published in 1938, Uncle Tom's Children included only four short stories: "Big Boy Leaves Home," "Down by the Riverside," "Long Black Song," and "Fire and Cloud."  "The Ethics of Living Jim Crow" and "Bright and Morning Star," which are now the first and final pieces, respectively, were added when the book was republished in 1940.  
:I am not certain about citing Encyclopedia Brittanica here; my main concern was that the information in the original intro paragraph was not cited.
:I would like to re-write the introductory paragraph, the goal being to make the content more clear and descriptive.  Two specific things I would like to address: changing Uncle Tom's Children's classification as a collection of short stories to a collection of novellas, since that is the term used in the publication itself, as well as more true to the length of the stories.  I would also like to remove the description of the work as successful, since this seems like a rather unclear/subjective description. Eavanh (talk) 20:41, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The title of Richard Wright's collection is derived from Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin," an anti-slavery novel with a Christian lens.  It is noteworthy that while Uncle Tom's Cabin may have been initially received as abolitionist among the white people of the 1850s, more recent criticism notes that the novel casts its black characters as racist stereotypes.

message: I'm still dreaming of getting this to good article somehow, and the release portion of the article seems  too dull in presentation.  Maybe we could figure out specific changes for all the different rules to explain?  I only own copies of the Mentzer D&D sets, the 2nd Edition books, and the 3rd edition books.  An explanation of the progression and changes could be good, but I'd need some help to fill in the rest of the details from other sets.

message: I agree with IP 129's comments in their edit summaries.  I don't think it's productive to create a bunch of tiny sections when the current section works as a whole.  I don't see a good way to make all those small sections more detailed, unless someone were to write a book devoted specifically to the history of the D&D dwarf with lots of interviews with various writers about the process of development over the course of multiple editions.  I also agree that this article is a good target for emulation by other D&D articles, rather than one that needs to be changed back to its older format. —<B>Torchiest</B> talkedits 10:47, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Salvador Laurel

message: There are almost no sources cited (certainly not within the article text), the author has a distinct anti-Corazon Aquino bias and the language is far too florid and definitely not NPOV, with paragraphs like "During the dark days of martial law Marcos’ power was absolute. No one dared oppose him. Those who could have were either jailed or dead or had sought asylum abroad and from that safe and comfortable distance – chose to be silent. But not Doy – he went forth risking his life and with his fiery speeches he exhorted the people not to be afraid to come out from the dark and join him in the fight to restore democracy" being commonplace. Salvador Laurel was an important figure in the modern history of the Philippines, yes, but talking about his family's "illustrious lineage" or describing him as a "romantic and impressionable" youth makes the author sound like a sip sip. To try and re-write this article without bias would take far too long- almost every aspect of Laurel's life is written about in the same fawning tone. My suggestion would be to start again with a writer who isn't campaigning for Laurel to be canonised.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.113.190 (talk) 04:13, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:MSC Software

message: Question: Why does the PATRAN link now point to the article Computer-Aided Enginering? 
I previously saw a page on PATRAN somewhere, but perhaps it was considered too commercial. I think that being a commercial product is not a good reason. There is at least some certain historical context that should be made known, e.g. PATRAN has been the de facto pre-post processor for NASTRAN for AGES!
Really? Patran is a niche product that nobody I know personally has ever used willingly. I've used Nastran since, um, 1992. Greg Locock (talk) 12:53, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

text: I disagree. They should be merged because they have a lot more than name in common... they are both types of AWD/4WD on Ford vehicles and most people looking up one of them would probably be interested in the other. Also, I doubt much more will be written about these topics... as small as they will probably remain, it wouldn't hurt to merge them together. .Werd678 Feb 1 2007
Fair enough. I still mildly disagree but I digress. Should there be a page entitled "Ford AWD/4WD Systems" that provides a rundown of Ford AWD/4WD systems (Control-Trac/Control-Trac II/Intelligent 4WD/Haldex systems/4WD used on trucks) or should just the Control-Trac and Control-Trac II be merged?

Talk:Interrupted Melody

message: The introduction says "The singing voice of Lawrence was provided by Eileen Farrell"
while the section titled "Musical tracks" strongly implies Eleanor Parker did the singing herself.
Which is right? Or is it a combination? This needs either a correction or a clarification. KHarbaugh (talk) 17:58, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A YouTube video of the movie contains the following comment: "as it happens, she [Eleanor Parker] actually did not lip sync in the usual sense. She actually did SING, full-out, OVER the recordings of Eileen Farrell which they played very loudly on the soundstage as they shot the film. It's impossible to get that look of actually singing re. the throat muscles and diaghram control, etc. by just lip synching." The author of the comment, pdclemens, claims to be an offspring of Ms. Parker (Paul Clemens?). The video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmn8BoN9opY . My question is: Can this information, with such uncertain sourcing, be included in the Wikipedia article? KHarbaugh (talk) 18:31, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That YouTube comment is of course not a reliable source, nor does it contradict what the article says. Parker sang full voice during filming, but what we hear is Farrell. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:42, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Self Portrait (painting)

message: This page is the artist's self portrait.  It is not an advertisement as has been suggested.  It also marks an important bridge between the artist's signature "portrait" style of art and his "landscape" style (note the trees in the background which relate to his signature landscape stylistic).  The artist's other work hangs in important institutions in America, Switzerland, England and Scotland and I would repsectfully suggest that it should not be discounted.
:It was suggested that this page should be merged with the artist's main page, i.e. Robert B. Sherman.  After some consideration, I think that this is appropriate considering that there is little in the way of description for this painting.  However, it should be noted that two examples of the artist's work, Moses (painting) and Carousel In The Country should probably NOT be merged considering the depth of their explanations.  To lump the content into the artist's main page would be distracting and each of these works of art has a significant enough presence in the art world to warrant inclusion on Wikipedia, in my opinion.
