Talk:Night monkey

message: Quote:
:Unusually among the New World monkeys, they are monochromats, that is, they have no colour vision [...]
Interestingly, the corresponding entry in the German Wikipedia claims that Night monkeys do have color vision and that this shows that they are descended from diurnal ancestors. What's up with this? --Naddy 14:27, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Repentigny, Quebec

message: In the first paragraph of the article, the following sentence is obviously incorrect:  "Repentigny and Charlemagne are the first towns off the island of Montreal." The original author may have meant that "Repentigny and Charlemagne are the first towns in Quebec that are off the island of Montreal," but I don't know. I'm not a Quebec historian. But I am a pretty good editor, and I do know that there were many "towns" around the world long before Montreal, Repentigny or Charlemagne were founded. At this point, it is a mystery to me what the original author did mean.74.196.127.243 (talk) 19:09, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

message: In reading about Chrysler elsewhere, it sounds like he worked on trains for Alco, not cars as implied in this article.
Vanderbilt Cup Races
Walter Chrysler
I see that there is one reference to this too that says that this is not contained in Chrysler's autobiography.
"According to one report, during many of the years the Alco automobile was made, the plant manager in Providence was Walter Chrysler, who later founded the Chrysler Corporation. If this story is true, Chrysler gained his first automotive manufacturing experience with Alco but Chrysler's autobiography makes no mention of it so there is substantial doubt."
I wonder whether that "report" was from this Wikipedia article.

Talk:Reel (dance)

message: I'm not sure what this passage is saying, but I think I disagree with it: :)
The group of thirty-two bars (four times eight) is itself repeated three or four times before a second reel is introduced. The grouping of two tunes or more in this manner is typical in all dance tunes.
In Scottish country dancing, a 32-bar dance is usually danced eight times through (so each of four couples will get to dance it twice from first position), and the band will typically play three or four 32-bar reels during the dance.  Typical tune progressions for an 8x dance are 1-2-3-1-2-3-2-1 (for three tunes) and 1-2-3-4-2-3-4-1 (for four).  The band usually begins and ends with the same tune, often the "title tune" for the dance.  As you can see, tunes are rarely played over again immediately; the tunes are repeated, but they're spaced out. --Jere7my 01:17, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Reels in Scottish country dancing

message: So what, in layman's terms, makes a reel a reel? In what way does it differ from other well-known dances/music?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 (talk) 10:12, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incomprehensible for a layman 

message: I agree this article is not clear.
From a ceilidh dancers point of view a reel is a tune in 2/2 time, they only count two beats per measure and each of these has 4 associated 8th notes. Considering them in this way typical playing tempos for dancing are around 105 to 115 BPM.
If a reel is considered to be in 4/4 time the tempo would have to be doubled to maintain the same playing speed. The tune would now be played at 220BPM. Ceilidh dancers do not think of these tunes with this many subdivisions. Irish 'riverdance' type dancing may do, though I do not have enough experience with it to comment.
My experience with playing these tunes also aligns with the notion of thinking in 2/2 time. If a reel is considered 4/4 and all of these are emphasized the result does not sound like a reel. It sounds rushed.
2 beats per measure with 4 8th notes per beat makes the music sound 'fast' and 'lively'. By comparison hornpipes are played in 4/4 time and are consequently played half as fast.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:3401:DE00:243F:3FEC:15A4:A8A2 (talk) 11:21, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

message: I have replaced "galanga/ginger" with "galangal" on the basis that 39 years in Thailand have yet to bring me a tom khaa seasoned with ginger, which has quite a distinct taste and texture from galangal.
