Talk:Francesco Cavalli

message: BBC said on the air that Il Giasone was the single most-performed opera of the 17th century. Worth noting. --Wetman 04:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Corroborated by Grove, though I didn't know this.  Interesting.  "... the most enduring popular opera in 17th century Italy..."  I suppose we can assume that there were more operas in Italy than anywhere else in the 17th century, so the grander statement follows.  Antandrus  (talk) 04:24, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the logic for using/not using the definite article in Cavalli opera titles? Does it apply to the works of other Italian opera composers? Just curious . . . . -- Kleinzach 10:40, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's more or less confined to 17th century Italian operas with proper names for titles. Obviously, there is no English equivalent of this usage (Orfeo and L'Orfeo both translate as Orpheus). There doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency about the use of the article. For instance, amongst Harmonia Mundi's recordings of Cavalli operas we have Giasone (without the Il) and La Calisto. --Folantin 11:26, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Maestranza de caballería

message: In the Disbanded cavalry maestranzas section, there are numerous glaring translation errors. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that sentences like "The Meeting of Cavalry of the Kingdom answered negatively." were simply plugged into a free translation service.

thread_title:  Interesting translation...? 

message: I think we need to decide upon a universal format for the phrase Maestranza de Caballería de xxx and its sisters. First, I think we should only link to xxx city, not the entire guild of that city, since the former would make a lot of dead links that will probably never be written. I'm glad to see that User:Gadig echoed my sentiment in this edit. Second, we need to decide wether to translate that same phrase as Maestranza de Caballería de xxx or Maestranza de Caballería of xxx. I'm somewhat inclined toward the latter just because it makes it a bit clearer for non-hispanohablantes. - Draeco 18:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My reason for prefering the first option is that Maestranza de Caballería is already in Spanish, so changing the de to an of is irrelevant. Any more suggestions are welcomed. Gadig 04:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As seen that nobody (so far) has an objection on this proposal, I will change them to read as Maestranza de Caballería de xxx. If in the future articles are writen for those topics, then we can change it back. Gadig 15:56, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I feel that using de is clear enough, however, some of the names of Maestranzas are provided in italics, others are not, some are in inverted commas, others are whole links and some just link to the city. I feel they should be standardised as links to pages for each Maestranza, with these pages having more information on each. --GoAround 19:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jondalar

message: Thanks to Marblespire for doing some work on this page; I haven't had a chance to get back and really go through this page until now, and you saved me a lot of time.  One thing I wanted to toss out there:  I can't find my Plains of Passage book just now, but I'm pretty sure that Jerika's people's territory was never specified beyond 'to the east' or something like that.  Given the fact that we're talking about the Ice Age (and not the little one, either), I highly doubt that Jerika is actually from China.  The distances are a little too prohibitive overland, and sea travel even more so.  Can you double-check that for me?  I've checked in Shelters and I only find reference to the shape of her eyes, so the reference to where her people are from must be in Plains.  Ladyeternal 12:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Non-notable articles (that also aren't harming anyone) are rightly deleted all the time, and this is a non-notable article if I ever saw one. It "disambiguates" a name that's only used for a single character that anyone knows anything significant about, and only in a single context (Battlestar Galactica). This page should be a redirect to Saul Tigh, as it was before, and if Caprica (which isn't even in production yet, as I understand it, and therefore really shouldn't support unwritten articles on unestablished characters) expands on the Tigh family, the situation can be revisited. I'm reverting to the redirect, and making sure the main article has the information here about his ancestors so it's not just discarded. -- Fru1tbat 12:46, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

In one universe, she is a timid ultrafeminine library assistant from a world which never left the Great Depression; in another she is a 70s feminist writer beginning to challenge the authorities in her life; the third J lives in a woman-only communal society which is both more liberating and more oppressive than it first appears; and the fourth is a ravenously violent woman in whose universe men and women are literally at war.

" goods from all the civilized countries of the world, spanning from Portugal in the West, to the Middle Kingdom in the East, found its ways to the hands of gifted merchants, who knew how to make the best profits out of them."
I realize after that the breadth of the countries is noted, but I'm just not sure what civilized is supposed to mean and it sounds condescending, as if there were countries not listed that I should be aware of by name that we could objectively define as uncivilized. 
Should I just edit out the word to read like the following?
 "goods from all over world, spanning from Portugal in the West, to the Middle Kingdom in the East, found their ways into the hands of gifted merchants, who knew how to make the best profits out of them."
