message: I've reverted the move to Round Square (educational organisation) on the ground that this appears to be the primary topic based on number of hits, so it makes a bit more sense to leave this at Round Square and leave Round square copula where it is - at least without some prior discussion to reach consensus on the move.

Talk:J. J. Johnson

message: *How do you nominate something to be a featured articles  TheKid 22:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I put a "pov" tag on the page (i.e. I think it's not neutral point of view).  Look, I love JJ Johnson, and think indeed that he is among the finest and most influential trombone players of his generation.
However, if you read the guidelines for "neutral point of view" they say let the facts speak for themselves.  So, for example, quoting Steve Turre (with a source) seems fine to me. Example phrases that don't seem NPOV to me:
- "a technique characterized by flawless precision".  No human is flawless.
- "He remained essentially unchallenged at the forefront of modern jazz throughout his career."  Unchallenged in which contest?  This is not fact.
- "a comeback in the late 1980s".  I'd say "before returning to performing."
- "friends and family from around the country who universally loved and respected the artist and the man."  No one is universally loved.
Unfortunately, I don't have time to go through the article and clean it up right now.

message: Have changed the position of the previous (as yet unsourced) edit's apostrophe as I presume Gillespie was referring specifically to JJ - in which case it should read:
Dizzy Gillespie encouraged the young trombonist's development with the comment, “I've always known that the trombone could be played different, that somebody'd catch on one of these days. Man, you're elected.”
If he were referring to more than one trombonist, the apostrophe should be placed as follows:
...the young trombonists' development...

thread_title:  Merge of [[Padded V-hull]] 

message: One section states: "The simplest type of chine construction is the single chine "V" shape, with two flat panels joined at the keel." I have never heard of this usage, and I suggest that it is incorrect. My understanding is that a chine on a boat includes any sharp edge of the side of a hull, but a sharp change of cross-section direction at the keel (which almost all boats have) is not a "chine". Why call a "keel" a "chine"?!
To continue, I disagree with the idea of adding together the chines on both sides plus the keel, such as 3- chine an 5-chine. I consider the correct usage is to say "single-chine" (as in a Graduate dinghy), or "double-chine" (as in an Enterprise dinghy), or multiple chine (where there are more chines).

message: Hello everyone, I added a new Heading titled Publication History to this page. I included the date range in which Spoon River Anthology appeared in Reedy's Mirror,the pseudonym the poems were attributed to, and provided the citation for the edits. I linked to Wikipedia’s articles on Reedy and the Mirror.  I also included information on how Masters was inspired by the Greek Anthology and a direct quote from him. I cited the article and found a URL for a digitized edition of it freely available online, which I linked in the citation. I also linked to Wikipedia’s articles on the Greek Anthology and epigrams. I added The Macmillan Company as the publisher of the first book edition. Minor edits included italicizing the book’s title several times and putting poem titles in quotes.

It looks like this claim been repeated by a few other sources, most notably the History Channel's website.
It does look like a source states that there was some pawn shop in a Buddhist monastery, and that lending money with interest dates back to the fourth century in China.

I believe that My great great great great grandfather would have been Robert Ashley, and his son William Ashley. I have heard he left from the Bristol area around the mid 1800's, around the time the land was sold. At the least I am curious how the place got the name Ashley Down.

I was in two minds about including Chorlton and Didsbury as these are really suburbs of Manchester, but I felt that as they have their own identity they should be included - there are probably other places like this. Clifton didn't seem like it fitted here (especially as I couldn't find any population info for it) so I removed it, but I won't argue if someone feels that it should go back.

Talk:Infinitive/Archive 1

message: I'm not sure why verbs following may and might are classified as "infinitive", unless we mean "uninflected".  If that's what we mean, then the other nine or so auxiliaries should be included: can, could, shall, should, will, would, do (and its inflected forms), must, and some other that I've forgotten.  If it's not, I think the "may" and "might" cases should be dropped.  Perhaps things would be cleared up if the author of this section would cite their source.
I'm not changing the text because there are several possible "right answers" and I don't want to prejudge the issue.  It would be nice if we could say more clearly what an infinitive is, giving diagnostics that would answer the question of whether any given verb form in a piece of text was or wasn't an example of the infinitive.  There are two possible kinds of diagnostics.  First there are formal tests like "Can you replace the verb with a past tense form?"  (If you can, it's not an infinitive.)  Second are semantic tests having to do with the meaning of the sentence -- these are much trickier.
Anyway, I seem to be blithering.  If anyone out there in Wikiland has a copy of the magisterial Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, they should consult it on this subject.  I don't have one (because it's expensive).
