Talk:Scott Piering

message: From The Times, ref name="times-obit". Some useful info here:
:Scott Piering, pop promoter, died on January 22 aged 53. He was born in Duluth, Minnesota, on September 13, 1946. As a concert promoter in the early Seventies he booked the first American performances by Bob Marley and the Wailers. He went on to work for the management company, owned by Chris Blackwell, who had signed Marley to his Island Records label. He became heavily involved in the punk and New Wave scene, moving to Britain in 1980 where he set up and ran the promotions and press department at Rough Trade for three years, working with such artists as the Fall, Scritti Politti and Stiff Little Fingers.
:Always ahead of the next trend, he was one of the first to see the potential of the Smiths, arguably the most influential British band of the Eighties. He left Rough Trade to manage them through their first three ground-breaking albums and set up his own agency in 1984. He concentrattrated on radio and television promotions, his clients ranging from New Order and the KLF to some of the biggest names of today such as the Stereophonics and Gomez. In the course of 15 years he promoted a total of 121 British Top 20 singles, a strike rate which led to him twice winning the music industry's "Plugger of the Year" award.

Talk:5th Marine Battalion (Argentina)

message: This article is markedly different than the version tagged for cleanup in November 2006.  Specifically, it is much more concise, with much of the original extraneous text having been removed.  Although I feel the articles does read like a narrative, the language, grammar, etc., seem reasonable, and generally in keeping with WP:List of guidelines.  For these reasons I have removed the cleanup tag.
Of course, the glaring problem with this article is the lack of proper in-line citations (although some exist in non-standard form) and the corresponding list of references.  For this reason I have left the citations tag untouched on the page.

Talk:Leicestershire and Derbyshire Yeomanry

message: I'd like to point out the importance of the Batle of Frezenberg to the LDY. If I'm correct in what I've been taught, the LDY was the only squadron which held the line, while all other companies/squadrons retreated.
Either way, the LDY is affiliated with a cadet company. Specifically, F Sqn (LDY), Leicestershire Northants. and Rutland Army Cadet Force. http://www.lnracf.co.uk/news/Fsquadronnews.htm  (LDY cap-badge is shown on page) this may not be enough of a reference, I'm sure there's more information, but I feel that the cadet affiliation should be mentioned on the page.

Talk:Tadaksahak

message: There are many spellings in use for the name of this language and this people, including Dawsahak, Daoussahak, Idawsahak, Idaksahak, Dahusahak, Dawssak, Tadawsahak, Tadaksahak, and probably others I haven't thought of.  However, "Daksahak" is not one of them, as a quick Google Books search will reveal.  I don't know which spelling of the ethnic name is most popular, but the choice for language name should be obvious: there's now a full-length grammar of the language in English, and it uses "Tadaksahak". - Lameen Souag (talk) 11:25, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
Talk:1932 Grand Prix season

message: According to Hans Etzrodt, the 1932 AIACR European Championship "was for manufacturers and single drivers, both competing with each other for points. Only the best placed car of a factory team counted, regardless of who was driving. Alfa Romeo won, with Tazio Nuvolari second as the European Champion of the drivers, followed by Borzacchini, Caracciola, Dreyfus and Officine Maserati in sixth place."

Talk:Xuanwu Gate Incident

message: The Xuanwu Gate Incident is still a mystery according to historical research today. It is well known that Li Shimin was trying to hide this part of his life. He ordered a lot of "modifications" to give a reasonable excuse for this murder. 
It is easy to just translate the fabricated "standard" histories from the old/new book of tang and zizhi tongjian. However, some explanations are needed for the difficult parts, just some examples:
1. During the day of Xuanwu Gate incident, where were all the guards in the palace?
2. Why was Li Yuan on a boat, talking about his concubine's affairs with his ministers? It was not old Chinese tradition to talk about such personal scandals with ministers. 
3. The location: the northern part of the palace was not the place for Li Yuan to meet with his ministers. Time: 5am on a boat? 5am was the time when civil servants went to work.
4. Where were all Li Shimin's men? There were not at Xuanwu Gate in the first place and then suddenly appeared at that place? Li Shimin had more than 800 people including prisoners on the death roll. How were they arranged?
5. What did he do about his father? I'm afraid that is the part that Li Shimin wanted to hide. According to old Chinese moral beliefs, murdering his brother was not the worst, but whatever he had done to his father was. 
6. Probably a map is needed to show the location of different gates and lake and other places.
But then it would raise more questions: Why would they even use the Xuanwu Gate? Why were the men from Eastern Palace attacking Xuanwu Gate after Li Jiancheng was killed since there were other gates, much easier to control?
And many more controversies and unexplained questions. So I feel it is very difficult to write a good article on this subject.Elainr (talk) 02:36, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Anerio

message: I tagged this as 'Original Research' although I suspect that it is simply copying the editorial voice of the source material ( Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed.).) It may just need a re-write to more factually stated, and rely on the referred material to support.
For example: "The occasional attribution of some of his numerous compositions to his elder brother is a pardonable mistake, if we may judge by the works that have been reprinted." should be more like:
"Some of Giovanni Francesco's works have been mistakenly attributed to his elder brother."
Another consideration: Maybe this page should simply link to the two brothers' individual pages (which are both higher quality and link to each other), serving as disambiguation, and have no actual content.

thread_title: stuff moved from article - removing clutter for revision

message: In 1657 Silesius published under the title Heilige Seelenlust, oder geistliche Hirtenlieder der in ihren Jesum verliebten Psyche (1657), a collection of 205 hymns, the most beautiful of which, such as, Liebe, die du mich zum Bilde deiner Gottheit hast gemacht and Mir nach, spricht Christus, unser Held, have been adopted in the German Protestant hymnal. More remarkable, however, is his Geistreiche Sinn- und Schluss-reime (1657), afterwards called Cherubinischer Wandersmann ("The Cherubic Pilgrim") (1674). This is a collection of Reimsprüche or rhymed distichs embodying a strange mystical panentheism drawn mainly from the writings of Jakob Böhme and his followers. Silesius also delighted specially in the subtle paradoxes of mysticism. The essence of God, for instance, he held to be love; God, he said, can love nothing inferior to himself; but he cannot be an object of love to himself without going out, so to speak, of himself, without manifesting his infinity in a finite form; in other words, by becoming man. God and man are therefore essentially one.
The Catholic Encyclopedia defends Silesius from the charge of panentheism. His prose writings are orthodox; "The Cherubic Pilgrim" was published with the ecclesiastical Imprimatur, and, in his preface, the author himself explains his "paradoxes" in an orthodox sense, and repudiates any future pantheistic interpretation. 
Silesius also wrote prose, notably a series of tracts against Protestantism, published under the title Ecclesiologia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ColonelHenry (talk • contribs) 06:37, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
