Talk:Free State (province)

message: This article could be improved by talking more about the populace of the Free State.--Wowaconia 15:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  On need for expansion 

message: Observation: Though it is perhaps true that this province is the only entity in the world that has the official name "Free State", I don't think it can be said that the SA province is particularly more well-known worldwide than many other "Free State" entities historically (Irish Free State, Congo Free State, Free State of Saxony, etc.). As such it is probably more appropriate that the Free State be a disamiguation page and the SA province article be named something like Free State, South Africa.

Talk:Beep, beep (sound)

message: One or two things strike me as being somewhat, to use a technical term, arse-over-tit in this article as it currently stands.
"Beep-beep" is an onomatopoeia sound
:Onomatopoeia is not a sound, but the formation or use of a word imitating a sound.
::Onomatopoeia normally omits any quote marks. The quotes are indicating replication of the sound itself. Hence it is not unreasonable to use the word "onomatopoeia" as a nominal attributive for the noun "sound", in this instance. That said, the entry has been modified and the matter is moot.

RPaschotta 13:30, 30 Apr 2006 (UTC)

message: I renamed this article to "be about" the devices as opposed to the physics behind them. This is in keeping with the series of articles on non-linear optics in general. For instance, there is an article on Optical parametric amplifier, not "parametric amplification", and similarily Optical parametric oscillator as opposed to "parametric oscillation".
I certainly don't mean to suggest this is a "better" naming, but it is definitely more uniform. If someone does wish to put these articles under the physics I won't disagree, but I think it's important we make this change to all of the articles to avoid confusion.

thread_title:  Notable enough for this list? 

message: I don't think the Romany entry is noteworthy as required by the encyclopedia nature of this timeline. You may refer to the date of womens admission to the Magic circle as an an entry, but the mention of Romany in one particular year is out of context with the other great and important magicians in the timeline of magic eg Houdin, Vernon, Houdini, Copperfield etc. Indeed there are 100's of magicians 1000 times more important than Romany who are not in the timeline of magic.
A student writing a paper based on this timeline would be out of place to mention Romany as a 2000's event on the magic timeline when there is magic such as Chris Angel, Blaine, Takyama which is dominating the real headlines.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.9.135 (talk) 02:15, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Romany entry 

message: We should work together to establish these. People such as Takyyama have become more than TV magicians because their magic has been published to such an extent that it is influencing what many current magic students are studying.
There are some noteworthy omissions from the list in recent years which should have better entries.
eg Penn and Teller, Copperfield, Daniels, Kaps, Sankey, Henning, Cooper.
Also magicians from the earlier era .
Although I recognise your point re magicians v magic, the magic of an era is very much characterised by its main practitioners and although there are some magic "events", the (important) magicians of the era will from a key part of the timeline.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.131.9.135 (talk) 03:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Questions

message: Don't Pass Go was not released by Adelphi, it was released by a former incarnation of the band (actually 3/4 of the current lineup) under the name AdelphiRock. Although a clear distinction between Adelphi and AdelphiRock was absent (namely in 2003 during lineup changes) the addition of Kevin Lichtfuss as bassist solidified the change on all fronts. True, it would be an incorrect assessment to call AdelphiRock a pop band, however anyone who has seen Adelphi perform within the last 2 years would, unless driven by some irrationality, agree that their current influences lie in pop and rock.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.187.182.38 (talk • contribs) .
:That's true, but still I'd say getting a new bassist and changing their name from "AdelphiRock" to "Adelphi" isn't enough of a change in the band's core to warrant omitting the debut album. --HarryCane 17:09, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jizzakh

message: In the drive to make articles for every city in the world with more than 100.000 inhabitants, one Uzbek city called Banjzak was listed. I couldn't for the life of me find that city on any map, and the only google hit worth looking at was a UN population list which when I cross-ref checked was missing the city Jizzakh, but did have a city called Banjzak listed with the exact same 1999-population as Jizzakh is said to have in this article (126.400). So I concluded that the cities are the same, and that it's just some UN-worker who has got the name Джизак wrongly translated. But I've never even been to Uzbekistan, don't speak the language, never bought the t-shirt, and is exceptionally ignorant about Uzbekistan geography. So if anyone reading this knows that this is obviously wrong, that there is an Uzbek city called Banjzak (maybe called something else now), and that Jizzakh is a different city, then please fix my [[Banjzak] redirect, and accept my appology.
