Talk:Monarchy of South Africa

message: <<as until the passage of the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 British constitutional law held that there was a single individisble monarchy with the dominions treated as subsets of the United Kingdom. After 1927, and particularly after the Statute of Westminster, 1931 the crowns of the various dominions were conidered as separate entities though with a shared throne.>>
The idea that there is one Crown still applies. The title used by the monarch may be styled differently in different Commonwealth Realms, it still is one Crown, as testified by the common elements the titles in all Commonwealth Realms have: "King / Queen of ....... and all his / her other Realms and territories". Implying that the Queen is Queen of all her Realms equally, not seperately as her title includes all.I've made some adjustments stressing that.Gerard von Hebel 20:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: While there is good material in this article, it may be more appropriately re-named 'The Queen of South Africa'. Important changes occurred in relation to 'unity of the crown' following the death of King George VI in Feb 1952. Gerard von Hebel above seems to think that those changes did not affact the unity of the crown. That is a technicality which may never be accurately answered. But if it did introduce separate crowns, then South Africa only had its own personal monarch during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II from 1952 until 1961 when South Africa became a republic. The title 'King of South Africa' tends to cause people to ask 'who was he?' since it is a title that was never used when South Africa still had the British monarch as head of state.

thread_title:  Unity of the Crown 

message: I have changed the last column in the list of monarchs from "heir" to "succession right". This is consistent with List of British monarchs and others, and solved the somewhat anomalous mention of Prince Charles, who never was — and presumably never will be — monarch of South Africa.

Talk:Rosendo Balinas Jr.

message: This passage looks like it's unsourced and not-NPOV:  "Balinas' talent and strength was considered superior than Eugenio Torre, but he was egregiously shut out by Campomanes from competing in strong international tournaments, including the World Chess Olympiads."  Who considered Balinas' talent and strength superior to Torre (who was no slouch, advancing to the World Championship candidates matches)?  What's the source for the proposition that Campomanes shut him out?  Who said Campo did so "egregiously"? What does that mean, exactly?  Krakatoa 20:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is yet another article on a Filipino chess player that's laden with POV and peacock statements, and there's a great deal of cleaning up to do. In these last few years, I've found Krakatoa a fair-minded individual, and where he expresses concern, there's likely a good reason. Hushpuckena (talk) 01:56, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: 'As a result of his victory in Odessa, FIDE awarded Balinas the International Chess Grandmaster title. This was most notable, particularly since Balinas' Elo rating was considerably lower than that of other grandmasters, and more so, despite his life long bitter conflict with the infamous ousted FIDE President Florencio Campomanes who ruled FIDE during the period'....
While I've no idea what the source of this is, it's incorrect to imply that Campomanes had anything to do hindering with Balinas' achievement. He made GM under the rules of FIDE and Campomanes hadn't even ascended to the presidency of FIDE then; Euwe was FIDE's head. Hushpuckena (talk) 02:19, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Spring Valley, San Diego County, California

message: Spring Valley is comprised of various parts to include La Presa and Casa de Oro; however each of these subsections are too small in land relevance to merit there own city resources. They should, in essence, remain in name Spring Valley.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.199.131.117 (talk) 15:39, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand your issue, but I think we should still keep the articles separate. There is value in having a complete list of CDPs. Instead of merging can we cover the matter in the text of the article? -Will Beback 20:56, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't really see the need for a separate article for every CDP. However, if I'm in the minority, Spring Valley and other communities that are split into multiple CDPs could have separate articles about the greater communities. Perhaps all of the CDP articles should be moved to articles denoting that they are CDPs. For example the existing Spring Valley article could be moved to "Spring Valley, California (census-designated place)" and the parts that identify Spring Valley as a whole community could remain in the current article. A good argument for this is that the U.S. Census Bureau does not set the boundaries for cities and communities. In California it is various Local Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCOs) that answer to the State. According to the San Diego LAFCO, Spring Valley includes La Presa. So, the Spring Valley article should cover all of Spring Valley, not just the half that the Census Bureau included in the CDP by the same name. Rsduhamel 21:02, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would make sense to have two articles covering the two different definitions of the place. -Will Beback 23:15, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't think they should merge, either, just in case someone's trying that again.  I know that criminal registration's a big topic in Spring Valley (they're all against it), but now that Lakeside's taken its position, it'd just be a wasted effort.

Below that is the Dorset Senior League (which I think is the longer established one, from at least the '50s), and below that is the Dorset Saturday League (official title). There's also a Sunday league. I don't know if this is any use to you. I don't think there's a league called the 'Dorset County League' though. --Stevefarrell 20:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

41.240.8.212 08:27, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Her stepfather's name is Tommy Steele. Obviously, she adopted that as her surname. She probably adopted the male surname "Michael" in order to project a "tough" image for the Runaways lead singer. She continued to use the name because it suited her purpose. When a British TV interviewer asked Michael that exact question in 2001, it floored her to the extent that she could only mumble "what?" and then blamed her response on having a hangover. -- Elaich  talk 01:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Acis et Galatée

message: NB: Acis et Galathéé is the spelling given by the Viking Opera Guide. It's valid 17th century French. But Grove and elsewhere use the modernised spelling, so fine. It's not technically a tragédie en musique. Grove's French Baroque Masters lists it among Lully's pastorales etc.. Cheers --Folantin 20:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there are redirects from Acis et Galathéé, I don't think there's agreement about period spellings. I suppose I was confused by the sentence "The musical conventions are those of Lully’s mature tragédies en musique." So why is it not a tragédies en musique? Because Acis is turned into a river, instead of just being dead? I don't really completely understand all the opera genres, so I'm happy to remove the tragédies en musique on your say so, if you'd like. Pastorale makes sense to me as well, however. I don't know. Cheers, Mak (talk) 21:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

text: I have no problem with pedantry, I was just trying to understand :) Is the genre a little clearer now? I suppose the plot is pastorale and the music owes a ton to Lully's tragedies en musique, which I think is relevant. Mak (talk) 18:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
