Talk:Johnny Dodds

message: Actually, Benny Goodman was far more influnced by Jimmy Noone -- whose sound and style contrast greatly with the earthier, woodier, bluesier sound of Johnny Dodds; not that either  Goodman or  Noone couldn't play the blues -- both certainly could, but Johnny Dodds' clarinet playing has the force, both emotional and physical, of his two-time bandmate Louis Armstrong, perhaps a reflection of his and  Armstrong's specific life experiences as African-Americans during the first quarter of the twentieth century, from New Orleans which were -- to a lesser extent -- shared by  Noone, who as a "creole", a social class that had always held itself apart from the African-American population of the city, until forced to live amongst them in accordance with New Orleans' rigid segregation codes; and  Goodman as the child of a Jewish Russian immigrant family.

Talk:Campaigns of 1792 in the French Revolutionary Wars

message: Hi, I'm French and I've just read this article. At the beginning, it is written : "Near Lille (29 April) the French soldiers fled at sight of the Austrian outposts and murdered their general". This is not what is generally said in France. The guy who was killed is the maréchal de camp Dillon, who fought previously in North America for the independance of the US. He decided not to fight the Austrians and the soldiers, thinking he was a betrayer, killed him. The murderers were sentenced to death and Dillon was honored in the Panthéon.
Maybe the French version is false. But then you need a source there to prove the opposite.

message: I am not so happy with Engineer Comp Geek's reorganisation of the article. All in all, the Charleville Muskets seem to be a series of muskets developed and constructed in the Charleville armoury; however, they are distinct weapons (Charleville 1766, Charleville 1777) rather than variants of the same musket; you cannot, eg., throw all rifles from Springfield Armoury into one article and add the totals (or Mauser rifles, for that matter).
I would put the different muskets back into seperate paragraphs; furthermore, significant models, like Musket model 1777 (already realised) or Charleville 1766, the role model for the Springfield musket, should over time get their own articles.
Any objections?

thread_title: Soprano or Mezzo-soprano?

message: On this page, as well as others, I discovered that Handel's name was spelled as "Händel". I concede that this is the original spelling of his name, and provides better clues as to its proper pronunciation. Nonetheless, Handel changed his name upon settling in England, and so retaining the original spelling (as most Germans do, quite possibly for phonetic reasons) seems to me inappropriate for a reference work written in English, especially as no effort is made to restore the other parts of his name to the original German. 
Less controversy can be made of correcting "Strauß," because this spelling is not correct even in German. The orthographical convention of denoting the diphthong "ss" with "ß" does not categorically apply to proper names. Strauss spelled his name "Strauss," and this is the spelling used in his native Germany. Anyone attempting a search on "Richard Strauß" in the German edition of Wikipedia will be lectured similarly:
Der Duden sieht zwar, nach alter wie neuer Rechtschreibung, nach einem Diphthong die ß-Schreibweise vor, dies gilt aber nicht für Eigennamen. Richard Strauss selbst schrieb sich mit ss.
Mdleonar 02:33, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Strauß" is used exclusively for members of the Vienna Strauß family (Johann Sr., Johann Jr., Eduard, and Joseph), in order to distinguish them from the not related Richard Strauss, who explicitly spelled his name that way. (And there is also Oscar Straus, who incidentaly wrote operettas, too, and changed his name's spelling in order to avoid confusion with the "dynasty"...) -- megA (talk) 08:17, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This seems a bit far-fetched to me. Johann Strauß I went by "Strauß" throughout his life, and died 15 years before Richard Strauss was born. Richard Strauss's ancestors always spelled their name "Strauss."  Differences in spelling were totally coincidental, and not part of some broader strategy to distinguish these unrelated composers. Oscar Straus is a different story.  He did, in fact, change his name. The change made sense from the standpoint of his having a career.  From the vantage point of history, it was probably unnecessary.  Strauß operettas can be distinguished from Straus operettas in purely musical terms. Mdleonar (talk) 18:49, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Highway patrol

message: Just saw the now-closed requested move discussion above.  It seems to me that the better solution is to move all the traffic police stuff to that article, while focusing this article on "highway patrols,"  which is what this article is about.  Part of the reason why the requested move was opposed so vigorously is that the term "highway patrol" in American English carries a very strong connotation of professionalism that the term "traffic police" does not, because of the critical distinctions in English between a "road," a "street," and a "highway". The term "highway patrol" contains a strong connotation of patrolling a highway (i.e., rural, intercity, or freeway policing), which is portrayed in the media as more dangerous (and in a way, glamorous, i.e., CHiPs) compared to mundane traffic enforcement on gritty urban streets.  A lot of the material in this article should not be here because it concerns the latter type of law enforcement and appears to reflect a somewhat confused understanding of the English language by non-native English speakers who haven't watched enough police procedurals. --Coolcaesar (talk) 19:16, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You refer to the "critical distinctions in English between a "road," a "street," and a "highway"". That should be the "critical distinctions in American English..."! In British English, a highway is any road (as an ex-copper, I would use the term "the public highway" to refer to my local residential street as much as I would a motorway), and in Britain (and many other countries), traffic police are any police who patrol any roads and specialise in dealing with traffic infringements and accidents. This whole misunderstanding does, as you say, stem from a difference in nomenclature between different countries, and also an apparent lack of understanding from American editors that "highway" and "traffic police" can mean different things in other countries. If we're not going to rename this article, then much of it does need to be moved to traffic police. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:23, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
