Talk:Vibrato unit

message: It would be good to add information on exactly when and on which model Fender first introduced the vibrato unit to their guitar amplifiers, and the tremolo bar to their guitars. Andrewa 17:00, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Current article reads The only guitar amps that featured true pitch shifting vibrato were certain models offered in the late 50s and into the 60s by Magnatone. I'm very skeptical of this claim, added fairly recently. Hmmm. Andrewa (talk) 10:58, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

message: An encyclopedia is supposed to clarify and expand on knowlege. Perpetuating misnaming conventions from the past undoes the task that an encyclopedia sets out to do. It's important to point out when terms are misused, and more refernces that explicitly state that this term is a misnomer can be provided. InternetMeme (talk) 06:04, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, but the lead shouldn't make this point in the very first paragraph, this is promotion of a (very common) POV. More references very welcome, but IMO all of them belong in the section describing the misnaming. Andrewa (talk) 20:32, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  An encyclopedia should not perpetuate confusion. 

message: "The fact that, under harmonic analysis and contrary to the expectations of many musicians, the output of the original vibrato unit does contain other frequencies near that of the note frequencies and in place of the note frequencies.[citation needed] These are the mathematical result of the variation in volume of the notes, so there is a slight sense in which Leo Fender was correct in his naming of the vibrato unit (but not of the "tremolo arm"). "
That's not true or even possible.  Vibrato units only affect the amplitude of the signal and cannot change the frequency in any way.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.226.188 (talk) 02:16, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Glasstron

message: Thanks for the changes to the article, DESeigel. I was about to mark the article as a stub, I just wasn't sure what category to place it in. You beat me to it! I could have named the external link, but I just left it there temporarily, until I could find some better sources of information.
Perhaps I'm not the right person to write an article on this product, but I'm always disappointed when there's nothing in Wikipedia for a certain topic, company, or product, or when there's a link to an empty 'edit me' page. Wikipedia is one of those few information sources on products that isn't (usally!) a sales pitch - you wouldn't find this in Encarta or other traditional encyclopaedias.
I don't actually mind if this article or any other useful one is a stub - it's better than broken Wikilinks which give no information at all. Personally, I would archive useful stubs voted for deletion, rather than deleting them. Hide them - or even stubs entirely - from the rest of the encyclopaedia if you have to, but keep them. You never know who will need the information in the future, perhaps to write a better article.

Talk:Data East

message: Unfortunately KLOV is wrong in this case (and many others). All of the Japanese versions of the actual games say they are copyrighted by Data East Corporation (US versions say "Data East USA" as expected. You can try this yourself with MAME, for example). None of the Data East games' Japanese flyers mention anything about Nihon Bussan/AV Japan. Finally, AV Japan is a Japanese adult video company that provided video material to Nichibutsu's later (early 90's) mahjong games. There's no way Data East would have been able to or even want to release anything under that label. 130.233.16.105 17:33, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Lewis's trilemma

message: I am troubled by the words "lunatic" and "madman". In the 19th century, and possibly still for Lewis, it was possible to say that someone who wrongly believed himself to be god was "mad", with madness as a broadly understood cliché of raving insanity. In fact, what we now know about mental illness and religious delusion would suggest that it would be perfectly possible for a person to have a belief in themselves as a divine messiah without being psychopathic. Look at Vissarion, for example; he doesn't seem like either a liar or a lunatic, but most of us would not agree that he is what he claims to be. He doesn't sound like a conman, so I would tip that he believes what he says, but his delusion is way short of "lunacy". I am not competent in mental illness, so I can't add this to the article, but perhaps somebody else can? --Doric Loon (talk) 22:10, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

message: The argument is developed at length by Monsignor Ronald Knox in his 1927 book The Belief of Catholics, an important work of Catholic apologetics in its time.

If there are no serious objections, we can start working on the section to modify this accordingly. Since the proposed article location is a red link now, we don't need a formal WP:RM vote.

thread_title: Alternative move discussion

message: I'm proposing this article be merged elsewhere on the grounds that the article, in its current form, covers a broad range of states and cultural eras that can't usefully be grouped thus except in the wider context of Russian or European history. Significantly, too, that current grouping of pre-Mongol Kievan Rus' and its successor states with, peculiarly, the post-Mongol Muscovite era is not reflected in the prevailing articles except, as mentioned, within a wider historical context.

thread_title:  Merge 

message: This article has remained essentially the same since 2008. The problems are still the same: it's mostly WP:UNSOURCED, contains WP:OR and has an inappropriate title. It essentially throws together random facts about Kievan Rus' and Vladimir-Suzdal. For the record, its Russian-language equivalent :ru:Культура Древней Руси (literally "Culture of Old Rus'") defines it as the culture of :ru:Киевская Русь (Kievan Rus') twice by linking to the article :ru:Киевская Русь twice in the opening sentence, and putting 1240 as its end:  Importantly: :ru:Культура Киевской Руси is a redirect to :ru:Культура Древней Руси. In short, everyone on Russian Wikipedia agrees that Old Rus' = Kievan Rus', and that its culture came to an end in 1240. Therefore, all information pertaining to the post-1240 period better fits in the Vladimir-Suzdal article. Because nobody has done anything about it for the past 14 years, I will WP:BOLDly rename it Culture of Kievan Rus', just like its category is called :Category:Kievan Rus culture, and move all post-1240 material to Vladimir-Suzdal.

message: This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard.

thread_title:  Collegium sive aula D. Catharinæ in Universitate Cantabrigiensi 

message: The introduction of this article appears to be needing a brush up. It says that "Catz has a reputation for being a very easy-going and well balanced college". This is, in my opinion, not really a fair description given the efforts made to make Catz move up amongst the academically most succesful college which, eventually, succeded in 2005 by being placed at the top of the Tompkins table. Could we make a formulation something like that Catz is known for combining a strong academic tradition with a friendly and well balanced community?
Also, the article refers to a high proportion of students from state schools and to the college's contribution to the boat race. I do not doubt this, yet could anybody verify these two claims with a reference, please?
Likewise, the article states that there is a friendly rivalry with Queens'. While this may have been historically true, and is undoubtely a 'fun fact', as a current student i have never met anyone who knows about this rivalry from any source other than wikipedia's insistance that it exists. This seems rather circular/self-perpetuating - very much a creation of knowledge rather than simple cateloguing...
