Talk:Decca Records

message: This article makes no mention of Argo Records (UK) or of their connection. I have made a note on their talk page as well. Viriditas (talk) 00:52, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Very confusing  

message: In the article, the term "ffrr" is used lowercase every time. However, the Wikipedia page for "Sound recording and reproduction" has FFRR as capitalized, and capitalized is the way I have always seen FFRR aswell. I think changing to uppercase would be better, as FFRR is an initialism for "Full Frequency Range Recording", and initialisms are conventionally capitalized on each letter. 64.253.17.148 (talk) 17:02, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Page Gregory

message: don't you think that the better should be to write the definition in the original name?: "Patge Gregori" (Llull)
No. I believe this fits the standards for naming in the English-language Wikipedia. Similarly, and I think weirdly, Felipe II ends up being Phillip II of Spain, the various Catalan/Aragones kings Jaume each end up being a James, etc. Not a choice I'd have made for the monarchs, but in this case I think it's right. "Page" is self explanatory to an English-speaker, "Patge" is not. But the other should certainly forward to this... -- Jmabel 06:42, 20 Jan 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The name of the kings and similar are translated, but the folklorists prefer to use the same name of the origin. For lots of folklorists is an heresy translate these name. For example, a folklorists will always use the names Hugin and Munin and no Thought and Memory, or Hathor and no the house of Horus or Banshee and no Spirit woman. In the mythological names, the original is strongly preferred. Llull 12:47, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Placenta

message: *Reason for the abruption?
*Risk rate?
*Prevention?
*Measures taken after abruption?
*Period of measures?
*Risk to baby and mother?
61.2.235.19
This is very rare. In the unlikely event that it happens, you have serious problems. Why it happens:
*40% of cases linked to high blood pressure or preeclampsia
*physical trauma (car accident, severe beating, fall from ladder)
*smoking
*pitocin-induced labor
*twin has been born, and maybe nursing
*entanglement of the cord
Prevention: Don't be a smoker with high blood pressure who gets in a car crash. Don't induce labor.
If it happens and the baby isn't about to be delivered, treat for shock and get to a hospital. Probably you'll get a cesarean.
Risk of the abruption is that the mother bleeds to death and the baby goes without oxygen. Probably the baby can bleed to death too. Risk of the measures (cesarean) is of course the normal: infection or bleeding, resulting in loss of the uterus or death.
Do remember that all this is highly unlikely.

thread_title:  Abruption of placenta 

message: The introduction should make clearer whether the placenta is an organ of the pregnant parent, or of the fetus. That's what I came here to find out, and the introduction does not make that clear to me, as a lay person.

Talk:English Parliament

message: This article seems to have been written by somebody with an axe to grind about devolution. It contains several inaccuracies, but I am not best qualified to replace the article. Perhaps an English medievalist would like to take this on?
1. The English parliament did not come into existence as a result of Magna Carta. It arose independently during the 13th century, albeit Magna Carta dealt with ideas of parliamentary authority.
2. It is not true whatsoever to say that the English parliament had jurisdiction over all of Britain by the 1600s. That did not happen until 1707. -- Anon user
I have made a couple of corrections, but it seems a shame that this article is so defective.
Partially true, but note that, during the mid 1600s under Cromwell, the English parliament had sole jurisdiction not only over Britain but also over Ireland and parts of North America. -- Derek Ross |  Talk 02:43, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

It is illegal: 1.to permanently keep land militarily taken over 2.to expel and to replace the inhabitants. Therefore with the Potsdam protocol the USA, Britain and Soviet Union put the eastern part of Germany under (temporary) administration. 
It violates the Geneva Protocols to do so during time of war, but this was post war.  One could argue that it violates the United Nations Charter, but the United Nations Charter has a special exemption for settlements for World War II. 
Also as far as I am aware, the Allied powers intended the movement to be permanent

1. during the war, sample,see: Danzig Gdansk, where Soviets took over and a Polish major took office April 3, 1945 (war ended in May).

I have before me a copy of a speech  of May 16, 1957. A few exerps:
"German Provinces East of Oder-Neisse Line.
Economic, Historical,Legal and Political Aspects Involved.
Speech of Hon. B.Carroll Reece of Tennessee
In The House Of Representatives
Thursday, May 16, 1957
...Indeed, only the backing of the Soviet armoes can ultimately insure Poland in holding on to her war spoils. As long as Poland continues her occupation of the German provinces, she must go on playing ball with the Kremlin, she must do whatever is asked of her and, yet, never be sure. Kremlin policy is cynical and ruthless to the utmost. Moscow will not hesitate a moment to sell Poland "down the river" if, on some future day, the Soviet rulers can strike the right bargain. I sometimes wonder whether the present regime in Warsaw is not aware of the inescapable logic on this point.
This Congress, and, in fact, the entire American public, wants to know whether the new Polish Government is still a puppet of the Soviets or is indeed a patriotic Polish Government. One of the best ways to determine this is to observe whether it continues the Soviet policy of pushing Poland westward into German territory, or throws aside this suicidal policy... by continuing her illegal occupation of the German provinces east of the Oder and Neisse Rivers Poland acts, deliberately or unwittingly, as the servant of Moscow imperialism...."
This clearly states: Illegal Occupation.

Talk:Heaps' law

message: I think with "Where VR is the subset of the vocabulary V represented by the instance text of size n" the author wanted to say "Where VR is the cardinality of the subset of the vocabulary V represented by the instance text of size n", because a subset is not a number. However, the size of the subset diverges (i.e. becomes arbitrarily large) as n goes towards infinity. That would only make sense if the vocabulary would also be of infinite size. (just as a sidenote: I would have expected the fraction of the vocabulary not covered by the text to decrease exponentially when looking at larger and larger documents).
