thread_title:  Another Guidonian hand 

message: This article would be much more approachable if it explained what is meant by "hexachord" up where that term is first used.  That isn't a common term, and the idea that you're supposed to read the Wikipedia page on "hexachord" to understand what is meant is not really reasonable. 
For instance, I go to that page and read "In music, a hexachord (also hexachordon) is a collection of six pitch classes[2] including six-note segments of a scale or tone row."  A collection of six pitch classes?  How do you "collect" pitch classes, and what is a "pitch class" anyway?  Then I read that it was the term for the interval of a sixth, which I suppose is a different use of the term.
Is a "hexachord" like calling the pentatonic scale a "pentachord"?  If it's the notes of the "hexatonic scale," that isn't well known either (I see from that article that a hexatonic scale can be the whole tone scale or a number of other permutations), but I think that would be clearer if explained.  
Back to this article, I read "The Guidonian hand is closely linked with Guido's new ideas about how to learn music, including the use of hexachords, and the first western known use of solfege."  Does this mean you use the hand to learn the interval of a sixth?  No, I think it means something else.  But I'm left annoyed that I keep encountering this word "hexachord," as if I'm supposed to know what that means.
I realize the article has no author in particular, so apologies for my frustration. 67.168.11.194 (talk) 02:40, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: What is a hexachord??

message: I see on the hand it goes through g, a, b, c, d, e, f and back to g.  Is that a modern version?  As noted above, I may not understand what's meant by "hexachord." 67.168.11.194 (talk) 02:53, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

message: I don't think we should work hard in each article to arrange the pictures beside the text.  A better automatic way must be established later.
The park is officially called "Shoreline at Mountain View" instead of "Shoreline Park."  This article should be updated to reflect that (including the title of the article). 71.141.89.107 04:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:French nobles by title

message: There is a lack of uniformity in the presentation of the titles. Should we write the titles in French or in English, eg., comte or count, duc or duke? Any opinions? Rdavout 07:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "It depends". The problem is that general usage in English texts is not consistent: relatively modern holders of peerages are usually referred to with the French style (say, the duchesse du Maine), whereas those of the Middle Ages are usually translated ("Duke of Burgundy" rather than "Duc de Bourgogne"). There's a transitional period where you might meet with either, e.g., "Duke of Guise" and "Duc de Guise" both seem "normal" for an English text. Choess 07:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I compared this to a list of usurpers in R.W. Burgess, "Principes cum Tyrannis: Two Studies on the Kaisergeschichte and Its Tradition", Classical Quarterly, 43 (1993), pp. 491-500, & found a number of discrepencies. Because this list is based on the postulated Kaisergeschichte, it may be that this list is correct & the Kaisergeschichte is wrong -- although I'm surprised Odaenathus & Zenobia aren't listed or mentioned here, since they are often considered usurpers. Or, to put it another way, if the Gallic Empire is included, so should these Palmyrene rulers. -- llywrch (talk) 18:49, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Burnham railway station

message: While the village of Burnham, Buckinghamshire is indeed within Buckinghamshire, the suburb of Slough called Burnham is within the county border of Berkshire. This is clearly visible on the Multimap (see article) within the county border of Berkshire. The railway station is also clearly visible within the county border of Berkshire, i.e. part of the suburb. Does anyone have any contradictory proof? If not, then I intend to change the categorisation to Railway stations of Berkshire. Thanks, Ian Cairns 07:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Another thing: I notice that the article currently reproduces the old myth of the "κρυφό σχολειό" (about the Turkish authorities forbidding the teaching of Greek, and Greek schools being conducted in secret.) As far as I know, this is a historical myth, and the claim that "it is here that the Greek language was kept alive" is extremely overstated.

thread_title:  Municipality or Region 

message: @Khirurg you have deleted the facts about Agrafa. The sources I have added show that Agrafa was well documented and paid tax during the Ottoman Era. The amount of Tax they paid for example is known and is higher than Alasonya and smaller than İnebahtı The population increase which is very slight can also be tracked in this region. Moreover the inaccurate Greek historiography about Agrafa being a wild, inaccessible region is also known by historians and the source I have put already discuss about this topic. 
The source you are defending is using in one example "The fiercely independent spirit of its people, known as Agrafiotes, is matched by a harsh and forbidding landscape." this is not a scientific sentence and does not present facts. It has literally no place in Wikipedia. This also assumes that other Greek subjects did not have independent spirit and thus insults them too. Presuming that this platform is not massively swarmed by WP:TEND users we know that articles need to be WP:POV Also from the source here Those Infidel Greeks we know that Agrafiotes migrated outside Agrafa for economic reasons. We also know that villages in Agrafa became property of landowners who might be Turks or Greeks and these people paid taxes to the sates. We see this Travels in Northern Greece - Google Books page 422 for example also in the observations of William Martin Leake. All this already contradicts with the "fiercely Independent spirit of its people" However you say that it is better source as if you are the sole authority here.

As stated in the edit description, I think it’d be a better option to leave it as mixed since Rotten Tomatoes has it at a 55% and Metacritic’s rating only barely edges out my aforementioned “mixed reviews” criteria.

message: In the film, there are two different timelines, both of which are set in the present day (in this case, it's 1995): The first one is where Alan is released from the game after 26 years, Sam (Alan's father) is deceased, and the Shepherds' parents are killed in a ski trip. The second one is where Alan reconciles with Sam and eventually marries Sarah, both Alan's parents and the Shepherds' parents are alive, and Alan  offers Jim (the Shepherds' father) to work at the shoe factory.
