Talk:The Chameleons

message: Don't actually know anything much about this band, but I got here via the link on the Interpol page.  Also I know this is a futile task and I could spend the rest of my life tidying up the music articles on Wikipedia ...BUT I'm going to have a go with this one.  It really is an awful article - it reads like a fans' love-in, saying how great and innovative they were, how "original and prolific", how one of their albums is a "must-own" etc, and cites absolutely no sources (well OK, one).  Or to put it in Wikipedia language, it is mostly composed of original research, and is not a proper encyclopedia article.  If I take out the worst of the personal opinion sections perhaps someone who knows a bit more about the band could expand the good elements of it (ie facts about the band and its history) and also add some proper sources?

message: An enormous number of references were to Dolby's old site, which has been redesigned and for which links neither work any more nor have any obvious replacements.

Some of the information posted seems dubious anyway, like the supposed "Dolby mandate" to transcode E-AC-3 into AC-3 over S/PDIF (I've deleted that, I don't believe it's true, there are no citations for it, and there's an HD DVD player in my living room that transcodes to DTS instead.)

Talk:Indian Runner duck

message: User:Robongio has now repeatedly challenged what is probably the best-known fact about Indian Runner ducks, namely that they do not fly. Every introductory and breeding club text repeats the statement, including multiple reliable sources already cited in the article; and in the case of the breeding clubs, they should certainly know because all their members keep ducks and see them every day. In other words, the challenge is a complete non-starter. If (as with chickens) it is the case that a few individuals are capable of fluttering a short distance, that is "the exception that proves the rule": birds of the breed can't and don't fly. Wild ducks can fly hundreds of kilometres; Indian Runners can't fly out of one's backyard. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

* Check description reference
* Check Bannerman's seminal work Birds of the Canary Islands which should hold good field data.
* Reread references not as inline quote: (author(s) date) and check literature mentioned in Hockey (1982, 1987) and Álamo Tavío (1975).
* Other papers might have been in Journal für Ornithologie in the latter 19th/early 20th century when sp. was still reasonably easy to find, and more recently (1980s/1990s) in (bird) conservation journals, maybe also BBOC (Bannerman), Ostrich (Hockey).
* There may be some Spanish doctoral or postgraduate work; possibly mid-1990s; might want to check Ardeola (journal).
* Information on reproduction is fairly shaky; much can be conjectured but things like clutch size (not verified, but plausible) stand out as peculiar.

replies: text: I don't know of anyone who has said that the book is "utterly boring", per se, but it has often been dismissed (alongside The Voyage Out) as an example of "Orthodox Realism" (see David Trotter's paper in the Cambidge Companion to Woolf, for instance). It certainly has not enjoyed the same level of scholarly acclaim or criticism as Woolf's later novels.--Illu45 (talk) 17:23, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Amadeo Giannini

message: I have corrected the biography on Giannini's founding of Bank of America.  While he was part of the Bank's establishment, BoA is a result of merger between Giannini's Bank fo Italy AND the Bank of America, Los Angeles which was founded by Orra E. Monnette in the early 1920s.
Furthermore, one of the reasons why Giannini pursued the merger was because Monnette's BoALA had a modern, advanced branch banking system established throughout Los Angeles prior to Giannini's involvement in BoA.  Monnette took this knowledge and applied it to the Los Angeles Public Library, where he was Chairman of the Board of Trusties from the mid 1910s until his death in 1936.  
While BoA PR has cranked out the fable that Giannini established Bank of America, they did because it made for good copy.  Giannini did work his way up the America Dream - Monnette starting his banking career after his father struck Gold in Tonapah Neveada in the early 1900s.
If you wish to verify this infomration, contact the Los Angeles Public Library's special collections division, or check the BoA historical Board Minutes from 1928. Stude62 22:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: HOLD ON. Before you change anything, I'm afraid I have to disagree. The city does not use the "th" on road signs for simplicity. It clutters up signs. As a driver, visibility and legibility are far more important than grammar and language rules (obviously). However, when writing in the English language, it is ALWAYS proper to add the "th" or the "st" or the "rd" or whatever it may be. THAT is the way it is. The City of Calgary does not have the authority to change such conventions. --Arch26 04:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Conference of Badasht

message: I'd like to substantially add to and edit this article. It deserves much more treatment, as it was very important in the development of both the Bábi and Baha'i Faiths. On the surface there was an aparent disagreement between Tahirih and Quddus, but there is evidence and critical commentary that can be presented showing that it was to some degree a staged argument. That is, the events were planned to cause a crisis moment in the faith of the Báb. This outlook is implied or stated in the given sources on the article page.
