Talk:Classical Contrapost

message: Why "Classical"? It's not an inherent part of the concept: what about Baroque contrapposto? Or is this a confusion of "classic" with "classical"? And why the strange word "Contrapost" not in the Concise OED? "Counterpoise" would be the English term, if contrapposto weren't universal in art-historical discourse. Would Chiaroscuro become "Clear-Obscure"? Try googling "contrapost art" and "contrapposto art" and see if I'm mistaken. --Wetman 19:37, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Shoofly pie

message: The article says that Shoofly pie is similar to Chess pie.  A comparison of the photos of the two makes me doubt it. Should this article be edited on this point? Has anybody eaten both so that they can make an informed judgement? Delicious way to do original research!Pete unseth (talk) 21:06, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: @Pete unseth, I don't know if you're still interested in this question, but the sources compare these pies because neither of them require "special" ingredients (such as a particular kind of fruit).  Both shoofly and chess pies (in their traditional forms) use ingredients that the home baker in the areas where they originated almost always had on hand.  Chess pie would have been somewhat seasonal (eggs and cream), but shoofly could be made at any time, even if the cow had dried up and the hens had stopped laying.

replies: text: Your references suggest that the redirection (to context-free grammar) should instead be one to formal grammar.  A problem with the present article is that it doesn't have much promise to grow as a separate article - at the very least it should be merged with grammar framework (a term I've never heard before). Rp (talk) 15:05, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

text: Browsing the Google Books copy confirms this (e.g. p. 421) but I still think they're wrong, or at least, were wrong, to write that phrase structure grammar is a term for context-free grammar. Rp (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

text: I think it's even more ovious when consulting "Three models for the description of language" (1956), where "phrase-structure grammars" are grammars with rules Xi -> Yi, where Xi and Yi are strings and Yi must be derived from Xi by replacing a single symbol of Xi with an arbitrary non-empty string. This is similar to the limitations of context-sensitive grammars. (However, a distinct set of terminal symbols is only described as reasonable, not as a requirement, thus the models are not fully compatible). --Zahnradzacken (talk) 09:34, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

:Should be made an offical policy and be mentioned in WP:NPA. --Cool Cat My Talk 20:39, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Some users encourage others to engage in personal remarks during discussions through the manner in which they frame the discussion and phrase their comments in the discussion. While we should only hold those who make personal remarks responsible for having made them, we could greatly reduce the number of personal remarks made by encouraging editors to not provoke personal remarks (pedestrian safety is my model here). For example, when criticizing an article using the two alternatives below one is much more likely to provoke a response centered around the article and one is more likely to provoke a response centered around the user who lodging the complaint:
*This article is well written for the most part but the first section is confusing in that it does not explain any of the technical terms used.
*I think this article is a dangerous piece of crap and like my father doesn't explain anything, especially the first section's technical terms.

Talk:Ertzaintza

message: Probably translated from Spanish, or perhaps even Basque.  I've cleaned up the article somewhat, there is a mixing of past and present tense which is kind of odd, and have tried to mitigate the inevitable controversies that arise whenever Spain's political situation is discussed.  
To that end, I've included the historical reasons behind Franco's "favoring" certain regoins over others, as some supported one side, some supported the other, and inevitably, the loser would face political reprecussions, as did Álava, Guipúzcoa, and Vizcaya (I use the Castilian spellings).
I have also changed certain terms such as the use of "Home Offce" when referring to the Basque autonomous government, as this is either an incorrect translation of the Spanish/Basque term or an implicit point-of-view influence attempt to show the Basque autonomous community of "Euskadi/The Basque Country" is a political entity independent of Spain, which is currently not the case.  
It is my belief that these edits will shepherd the article's contents towards a more NPOV.
There is still some general cleaning up to do with grammar and tense, anybody care to follow up?
