Talk:Buccin

message: I assessed this as a low-importance article for the Wikiproject Musical Instruments, low being where I put instruments that are not widely known or are somewhat obscure. I rated it a start because it is the is still the bare beginnings of an article, but does have a reference and some images. It really needs better references and inline refs.

message: In private correspondence with Doug Yeo, he expressed a strong stance against linking this article to the following URL, which he regards as potentially being in violation of The New Grove Dictionary copyright.   
http://www.trombonelessons.com/Trombone%20Handbook/history.html
The material is attributed there (somewhat weakly), but as no statement is provided that the material is used with permission, I'm inclined to agree that this source is unsuitable here.  Neither should textual material from that page being incorporated into this article.  Unfortunately, as there is exceeding sparse information about the buccin on the internet, this is one of the first pages anyone researching buccin will tend to find with a regular web search.  Furthermore, Doug commented that this material is not very good in the first place.  He feels later editions of Grove say less, better.  MaxEnt 08:14, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Although the tagger did not leave an explanation for the tone clean up tag, it seemed obvious enough to me that it needed to be cleaned up. Phrases like "Anyone who's been to a parade" and "a sound that would wake up the dead" are clearly not appropriately toned here. Though I'm not completely satisfied with the way I cleaned up the paragraph about the sound of the instrument: it still reads like it would be more appropriate in an orchestration textbook.

Talk:Knocklyon

message: Pádraig Ó Cearbhaill writes in an article called South Dublin Streetnames at the official Placenames Database of Ireland,
Knocklyon...was recorded as Cnoclin and Cnoclyn in early fourteenth century administrative rolls. The second part of the name is clearly monosyllabic and is possibly the genitive singular of líon, a noun variously meaning 'flax', 'net' or 'snare'. The Irish of Knocklyon, Knocklyon Road etc. is therefore incorrectly shown on signage as Cnoc Liamhna, Bóthar Chnoc Liamhna, instead of Cnoc Lín."

replies: text: The spelling with "y" was not written by an Irish language-using author but by an English writer in a Latin document.

thread_title:  Second rarest? 

message: In reference to a series of edits on 9 August 2021, existing claims seem to be partially merged, based on a source consisting of a Korean language YouTube video.  Additionally, there are multiple issues with English mechanics, such that one cannot surmise the meaning.
These changes modified existing claims while retaining the existing sources, so it's not clear that the claims as originally stated were not supported.  Specific issues which this sequence of edits raises:
* Korean-lanugage (47 minute) video is a problematic source.
* Editors who cannot understand Korean (and/or do not have the patience to listen to a 47-minute video) cannot verify the claims, nor can they fix the errors in mechanics.
* Validation of changes to pre-existing claims is problematic.
Unless there is someone will volunteer to address these issues, I would suggest that the entire sequence of edits will need to be reverted. Fabrickator (talk) 21:59, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: "Diehard fans" comment

message: I removed the "Sense of Hunmor" section, not because the joke was off-color (and I admit I did laugh at the punchline), but because it seemed an unnecessarily long digression for an encyclopedia article.  It would be in interesting in a book or full-length article on Raposo, but not in an encyclopedia entry.  If people insist that an allusion to it remain, perhaps a sentence "Raposo was known for his bawdy sense of humor" and a footnote to the Schwartz book could be included.  Really, a case could be made for eliminating the "Famous Friends" section as well, which also goes into minute detail and relies too heavily on Schwartz as a single source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.250.20.77 (talk) 18:34, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

And guitars exist with any number of strings from 3 to 25 (and probably other combinations as well -- some are uncommon, but 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 are all quite common, and could be found in any big-city music store). -- Not that I object to giving the string number(s) for instruments, I just don't think it would help people locate them that easily.  And you might also have people editing back and forth at each other, disputing the "proper" number of strings for instruments that may have a dozen or more stringing arrangements.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.174.105 (talk) 00:00, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

If you read the article's description of how it works you will see that each capacitor is charged to V_\text{P-P} = 2V_\text{in,peak}.   In an N stage multiplier there are N capacitors in series between ground and the DC output terminal, thus the output voltage is  V_\text{O} = 2NV_\text{in peak} ChetvornoTALK 02:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Two, I'm suspicious about the lack of macrons here. Look into that please, and place them where they belong.
