Talk:Frank L. Smith Bank

message: Has anyone checked the book she's quoting from, i.e. "Buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright in Seven Middle Western States"? I haven't, but I get the impression that she's deliberately misquoting to further her obvious socialist agenda. If FLW wanted to make something to look like a church, he made it look like a church. --ProfessorGreg 04:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about misquoting but her book has an obvious agenda, the only reason the mention is included is to be NPOV, since there are some that disagree with the assertion of the other sources. I don't know if she is misquoting or not, it is possible, misquotes are fairly common in almost every type of source. IvoShandor 05:06, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, saying something is designed to evoke the culture of worship of money and that it looks like a church could be considered two different things. IvoShandor 05:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The books she cites (but doesn't quote verbatim) appears to be available at the Burnham Library of Architecture at the Chicago Institute of Art. Perhaps interlibrary loan can shed some light on this, or maybe there are additional copies nearby. IvoShandor 05:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It just strikes me as strange that two sources could be in such complete disagreement on the nature of a couple of relatively obscure buildings. And it's the biggest coincidence, but there seems to be a copy for sale within a couple miles of where I live. I've sent an inquiry to the merchant to see if it's still available. --ProfessorGreg 05:29, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: (EC w/ SineBot) Well, that sounds most excellent, and a book whose nature I am curious about, perhaps it will also make a quality addition to my own library, let me know what you find out. You're right about the obscurity of the building, there doesn't seem to be a whole heck of a lot written about the place, but it's a very intriguing building. IvoShandor 05:33, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Andrew Crooke and William Cooke

message: I debated whether to make this a single article, or to break it into two, one for each man.  The critical literature seems to offer significantly more references to the two men together, as Crooke and Cooke, than separately; I followed that lead. (Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy....) But I can make separate articles for each man, if people think that's the better course. Ugajin 11:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: There is already an Andrew Lane article about a different musician. Drew Lane does get credited as Andrew Lane on some of his stuff so that should be mentioned in the article. The article title should stay the same though to prevent confusion about which Andrew Lane we are talking about. --NrDg 13:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: (Don't forget to sign your postings with 4 tildes). Just understand that if you do change the title of the article to "Andrew Lane" it will conflict with an existing article and require a disambiguation page for the two different musicians with the same name. It should be sufficient to just mention in the main article where he is credited as "Andrew Lane". I believe that he is generally known as Drew and may be credited different ways for different areas of his work. --NrDg 02:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

File talk:Wright J-6.jpg

message: Despite the title of the original Flickr image, which I assume was taken from the museum's placard, this engine is not a J-6 Whirlwind R-975.  Comparing the cylinder cross-section with several shown on page 3 of the article Wright J-5 "Whirlwind", the engine appears to be the older, smaller J-4B Whirlwind.  In particular, look at the structure of the valves and valve ports and the arrangement of the cylinder cooling fins, which are very similar to the J-4B but quite different from the J-5.  Since the J-5's cylinder design was a great improvement over the earlier Whirlwinds, I assume that the J-6 cylinder would look more like a J-5 than like a J-4B.
I will rename the image accordingly.
--Colin Douglas Howell 05:32, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ying and Yan

message: SaniOKh :
This would be a question for all of the Wikipedia users.
I sure didn't quote sources when I wrote this article, it is only because the sole source of information I had was the described book itself, I simply told what I've read while looking in the book to avoid confusions.
Do I find a complete text on the internet and quote towards it? I'm not sure what is to be done, here...
SaniOKh 05:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there. In general, you need to cite another source that talks about the book (i.e., literary criticism). This is because Wikipedia cannot contain  original research. A guideline for what sort of information should be contained in articles about books can be found at Wikipedia:Notability_%28books%29. Oh, and p.s., please sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). Best, --Bfigura (talk) 05:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

text: SaniOKh:
OK, I figure this page I wrote so hard will be erased in the future, as there is no source in English about this book (the only thing I actually found was redirecting to this same article :/). There are some in Russian, but they depict the main concept and don't go far in the details. I thought that if people often posted their film plot summaries unsourced, it was also possible to do the same for a book. So I was wrong. OK, I'll just post sources as I find them.
SaniOKh 05:52, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm not familiar with the text, but if it's notable, there's no reason it shouldn't be here. The sources don't need to be online, so a published review in a magazine / newspaper would work as well. (Although since this is new, I guess those could be hard to find). And while people do use the primary texts (or movies) for summaries, we still need to have a secondary source (or two) to show that the subject is notable. Still, I'll go ahead and tag the article as a work-in-progress. That should give you some time to see if you can come across any sources. Best, --Bfigura (talk) 06:01, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. If you don't find anything, feel free to ask these guys for some help: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Literature and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Russia. I don't know if it'll help much, but you could always drop a line on their pages and see if they can contribute. Best, --Bfigura (talk) 06:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Re this comment embedded in the article:
: Pure Antisemitic (especially the Protocols of Zion) items are not to be so classified.
Since the Protocols were used as a political tool, it's reasonable to assign a political tag. However, since their primary aim was to discredit Jews,  would do even better. A gentle reminder, though, that no one owns this article and that other editors may have valuable contributions and insights. Cheers, Her Pegship  (tis herself) 19:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: *I suggest that you look at Protocols of the Elders of Zion and read:
"The Protocols...takes the form of an instruction manual to a new member of the "elders," describing how they will run the world through control of the media and finance, and replace the traditional social order with one based on mass manipulation." Since world domination is a political theme, I tagged it as political. Since you didn't like that, and anti-semitism is by definition a religious issue, I changed it to religious. Just because it's a hoax doesn't mean it can't fall into either of these categories. Perhaps you have a problem with the non-fiction tag as well -- maybe the  tag too. Perhaps it should only have the  tag, since you are determined to have your way and revert any good faith attempts to sort these articles into a useful category.

Talk:1969 Masters Tournament

message: Jack Nicklaus' finishes in his previous six majors prior to the 1969 Masters were 2, 3, 5, 2, 2, and a missed cut by one stroke. Calling that a "slump" is beyond ridiculous and sounds like it was written by some hackneyed sportswriter who did not like Jack.  This comment seems way out of line in a summary of the 1969 Masters. Rather, what is noteworthy is that the missed cut in 1969 was the only Masters cut Nicklaus missed in 1960-1993 (he also withdrew before the second round of the 1983 Masters with back spasms).
I hope that this comment regarding a "slump" can be modified.

Considering "The Stewarts of Blair" came out on the premier folk label of the day (Topic) in 1965 and was later followed by 2 further albums on that label, I would have thought she was fairly well known at least in that genre.

Pueblo Grande features a large platform mound with retaining walls, that was formerly surmounted by walled structures. This massive structure contains over 20,000 cubic meters (yards) of fill.
