Talk:List of mayors of Grenoble

message: From how I understand what is stated in page Mayor (France), Mayors were elected from 1871 onwards. The present writing seems to imply that Mayors from the first set were not elected. Moreover, the French page :fr:Liste des maires de Grenoble is more evasive on the topic, since the sections are cut by centuries.

Talk:Grandmaster (martial arts)

message: After a search on the internet I have found that the martial arts do not really use the term Grandmaster (except in advertising to Americans).  More often terms are used that translate better as teacher.  I'll do some research and attemt to update the article.  The original information in the article is unsourced and I can find nothing to back up the intro at all.-----Adimovk5 23:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is true. "Grandmaster" is a western convention in MA circles (primarily to impress the punters, IMO), used to translate Chinese or Japanese terms that usually literally mean "ancestor", "founder" or "older teacher".  --Bradeos Graphon 17:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If I may contribute my $0.02.  In the internal martial arts circles that I'm rather close to, there are usually one or two patriarchs of the specific arts who is/are always referred to as "Grandmaster".  To me, the term is legitimate when I see it under this light.  I don't agree that it is an Americanism. It may, however, be a "Westernism". ----Panicpgh (talk) 23:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: teacher not master

message: Nate1841, this is the reason I changed the way it was written: To me, the first paragraph of the article should  give a definiton of the term.  But the very first sentence says that it has "changed in meaning" and that "the use of the term is not traditional".  This is not a definition, it is a qualification.  Any qualifying statements should come after a definition is given.  The tenor of the rest of the paragraph is the same.
Bottom line: The first paragraph does not satisfy a reader's curiosity of what a Grandmaster is at all.  So what is a proper definition of the term without having to read the entire article?
I tried to rework the paragraph to drive it in the direction of giving it a definitional form, in the hopes that someone would contribute an actual definition.  I did not expect the (admittedly, minor) effort to be negated completely.
Panicpgh (talk) 23:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Not a good definition

message: I believe that when refering to the chinese usage of "師傅 or 師父; Pinyin: shīfu, Cantonese: si1 fu6" is more like master or instructor". Whilst the direct translation of "Lao Shi (老師 lǎo shī Cantonese lou5 si1)" is elder teacher, it is most used when just referring to a teacher.

Talk:Miss Mabry

message: I find this article a bit misleading.  An article for Betty Davis already exists, so "Miss Mabry" should redirect to that article.

I think "Miss Mabry" (if this is, in fact, a common nickname for Betty Davis) should redirect to the larger article and the record label should, if notable, be under "Miss Mabry (record label)." janejellyroll 09:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

But if it was intended to be a poorhouse, why expend so many resources on features like "finely detailed wood and ironworks"?  It seems illogical.  Things like that don't come cheap. The more funds expended on that, the less resources will be available to actually help the poor.
Maybe someone can explain what, if any, reasoning went into those design decisions.  Was Nicolas Rolin more interested in making an ostentatious display of charity, than performing actual charity? 2601:281:D880:7880:99E5:E670:9832:4EF1 (talk) 16:59, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

message: This is verbatim from the April/May 2012 Riviera Reporter magazine:
:Le Negresco was built in 1912 by Henri Negrescu, the son of a Romanian innkeeper. Negresco (as he became later known as a French citizen) arrived in Monte Carlo in 1893 and worked in hospitality, eventually managing the restaurant at the Municipal Casino in Nice in 1905 when he met architect Edouard Niermans, to whom Negresco entrusted his dream hotel; Alexandre Darracq financed the project and Gustave Eiffel was brought on board to design the glass dome, still as visibly glorious 100 years later in the Salon Royal.

Talk:Salle Le Peletier

message: In the Palais Garnier article it says, "There was an attempted assassination of Emperor Napoleon III at the entrance to the Salle Le Peletier on 14 January 1858. The Salle Le Peletier's constricted street access highlighted the need for a separate, more secure entrance for the head of state. This concern and the inadequate facilities and temporary nature of the theatre gave added urgency to the building of a new state-funded opera house."

Talk:Glorioso Islands

message: the french article says they're uninhabited. is that true?
There are no permanent inhabitants. Up until 2000 there was a manned meteorological station, plus a gendarme to represent French authority, and a small 14-man army detachment to defend french interests. The meteorological station is now automated, but the gendarme and military personnel remain. The island is a natural reserve and nobody else is allowed to land. All these personnel were there on short (6 weeks to 3 months) assignments. The airstrip is used by the french Armée de l'Air for resupply, and a navy ship also brings resupply every few months.
I spent several days on the island on a few separate occasions between 1998 and 2000 when I was in the Foreign Legion, overseeing the change-over of personnel. I have some nice photos.

thread_title:  Oh, come ON!!! 

message: This edit clarified the issue here for me.
The content debate here is about whether the article has a right to exist at all; i.e. whether the subject is valid for inclusion in an encyclopedia.  It is not about citing sources to support or object to the use of the term "occupation".  No specific parts of the article are accused of being POV.  The current tag on top of the article states: "This is a dispute over the neutrality of viewpoints implied by the title, or the subject matter within its scope, rather than the actual facts stated."  I find this to be an accurate description of the dispute.
Whether the article should exist or not can only be determined by community discussion and consensus.  As always, participation by as many members of the community as possible should be encouraged.  During this process I feel that the tag is entirely appropriate.  I feel that both sides of the debate have good points.
User conduct during this dispute has been unacceptable.  The term "Holocaust denial" has no place in this debate.  However, resolving these issues is up to ArbCom.  --Ideogram 01:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
