Talk:Edward H. Litchfield

message: The article lead mentions that he was known for majorly expanding the University of Pittsburgh, but not getting enough funding to support this expnasion. We need to in the body of the article cover more in detail what happened while he lead the University of Pittsbrugh. We need to explain if this was expansion of curriculum, expansion of graduate offerings, expansion of the number of buildings on the campus, increase in the percentage of students, increase in the percentage of students living on campus, increase in athletic and food operations, or most likely increase in all these aspects with each one adding cost, so that the operationsal cost rose both because the number of students increased, and also because the cost per student, even adjusted for inflation, increased even more. I guess other expansions could have been increase in medical related operations, I think the University of Pittsburgh has a medical school, and increases in the amount of research undertaken, which would lead to more funding for it, but the incoming fund sources may not have fully captured overhead cost. The point is we need to say more in more detail about Litchfield's time as university president.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:19, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Motor ship

message: "A motor ship or motor vessel is a ship propelled by an internal combustion engine".
If the SS originally stood for Screw Ship, cf paddle ship (PS) then that may become a regrettable or obsolete definition.  
"A motor ship or motor vessel is a ship primarily propelled by a motor, rather than a sailing ship" may come to make better sense, even allowing for large Diesel auxiliaries in some sailing vessels. 
NS Savannah drove a screw by blowing steam through turbines, but the nuclear kettle used seems worth distinguishing; modern cruise ships drive their screws electrically, don't yet run off batteries, so the issue isn't what is connected to a propeller's shaft, presently.

message: Hey I'm new to Wiki as of yesterday, but this article seems to have no relation with the Pittsburgh Dance Council. I was going to just remove what little was there and start over, but I didn't want to mess up anyone's mojo. 
Can someone please explain the importance of this Deepti Shukla to me? I cannot find any relation of her with Pittsburgh, let alone the dancing thing. 
I found a little blurb on the council from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and put it at the top, but I'm still concerned about the reliability of this page. 
Also, what does http://www.madhurdhingra.com have to do with this??

Talk:Voiturette

message: I disagree that the term 'voiturette' was used for three-wheeled vehicles in France in the 1920s. In fact, this time was kind of "Golden Age" for sporty, little, four-wheeled automobiles. I've changed that in the article although I cannot deliver an actual source yet. The makes mentioned, alas, speak for themselves. --Chief tin cloud (talk) 14:01, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I've just put in wikilinks to six specific cars that were made around the turn of the century. All of them are French, but I admit that only some of them specifically claim to have been examples of voiturette. I will let another editor, more expert than I, sort these out if I have been over enthusiastic. My main motivation, though, was to increase the number of cross references to these articles, since they are all stubs, and all classed as orphans.

Talk:Bourne Woods

message: It is not clear which Leofwine this was. Neither is it completely clear that he owned any woodland in Bourne. Domesday Book says, (Phillimore edn. vol 31 part 2. 42,2) that his successor, Odger owned a large slice of woodland and some woodland pasture in Bourne (which includes Dyke and Cawthorpe) but it clearly states only that Leofwine had (arable) land for 7 oxen.
The Leofwine who will once have been prominent in this area was the father of Leofric who, himself was a relatively old man when he died in 1057. His Wikipedia article gives Leofwine's date of death as 1028. At the earlier of the times accounted for in the Domesday Book, 1066, much of Bourne was in the hands of Leofwine's great grandson, Morcar.  (RJP 12:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:A. E. Backus

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. From WP tag policy: Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.  No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 18:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Adrian Jones (sculptor)

message: Generally, this article is unusual in quoting a full newspaper obituary of a subject. I wonder if the article would read better if information from it were incorporated into the earlier sections of the article, with citation at points where the information is put. This might make it possible to remove it as a section or just reduce that present section to selected paragraphs such as the tribute to his workmanship and his own views on sculpture.
Also the references to records in the National Archives in the 'Other works' section and other accounts of his sculptures could be rewritten, making the file numbers part of inline citations, leaving on the table the information they contain.
Some of the 'Other works' listed have wiki articles in their own right to which some of the information could be transferred. Detail concerning Jones' own input could be left on this page.Cloptonson (talk) 06:53, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

QUOTE:
Aert de Gelder, Aert also spelled Arent    (born Oct. 26, 1645, Dordrecht, United Provinces [now the Netherlands]—died Aug. 28, 1727, Dordrecht), the only Dutch artist of the late 17th and early 18th century to paint in the tradition of Rembrandt’s late style.
De Gelder spent his life in Dordrecht, except for a period of time about 1661 when he was Rembrandt’s pupil in Amsterdam. His biblical paintings—e.g., Scenes from the Passion (c. 1715)—feature warm colour and atmospheric light. In his portraits—e.g., The Family of Herman Boerhave (c. 1722)—his bold, broad manner of brushwork and surface texture contrasts markedly with ... (100 of 144 words)

* Removal of excessive detail and "examples" in test detail section.
* Tidied up the external links.
To do:
* "Third section" of the English test not in original text. Have left the number of sections as three, whilst giving the two available examples. Need confirmation of the number of sections - and if indeed three, add the missing one. 
* Still too many trivial links in the text
* Would benefit from inline references. Have left assertions within the original text as "references" where they apply, but these need to be turned into proper reference.
