Talk:Satellite city

message: Aren't satellite towns and satellite cities basically the same thing? Would it be better if one page redirected to the other?
:They appear to be the same concept; however, neither article properly defines or addresses the full meaning of a "Satellite City". Satellites differ from suburbs or bedroom communities. Although part of a larger metropolitan area" they are capable of fully supporting their residential communities with an ample commercial and industrial base (in a vacuum), even though cross-commuting throughout the metropolitan area occurs (in reality). I support merging the two pages, but recommend a definition more in line with urban planning concepts.Mayor Pez 15:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I've modified the first line from "municipality" to "municipality or settlement" (). Although the first source cited in the article does say that political independence is a common part of the definition (Encyclopedia of American Urban History), the second one (The New Urban Area Development [...]) says somewhat the opposite, and at least a couple of other definitions I've seen are likewise more general and don't define it strictly as an administratively independent town (Oxford Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, International Encyclopedia of Human Geography).

message: I have rearranged these articles so that the redirect points to Fort Ross, California and added  to that article to point back here.

Talk:Ramona Amiri

message: the person who keeps rving claims she is "iranian-assyrian" and which means she belongs 100% to the Iranian people. This is simply false. Assyrians do not  belong under Iranian people. While she is ethnically half Iranian, she is no way 100% Iranian, thus she stands as a Canadian women first, descent of Assyrian and Persian/Iranian...you make up your mind if you want to call her other half Persian or Iranian.

thread_title: Ramona's ethnicity

message: The question of the formal ethnic labels is usually the most hotly contested and prone to the revert wars and the less interesting to the readers. Thus, any solution acceptable to the most of the editors is fine with me. 
IMHO is a Canadian woman of Assyrian and Persian heritage + Amiri's father, of Assyrian ethnicity, was born in Urmia, Iran, and her mother is Persian. provides all the ethnic info somebody would want to know. While xx-Canadian of yy and zz heritage is a kind of overdo - we either state xx-Candaian or Canadian of such and such heritage - not the both at once. Maybe we should add that her mother is from Iran as well (if there exist such ignorant people who do not know that Persians are the main nation of Iran). I would keep the :Category:Iranian Canadians as the categories are usable navigation tool and somebody may look for Ramona in this category. If there is :Category:Assyrian Canadians or [[:Category:Assyrian people we could safely add her there as well.
This is my suggestion, please discuss yours on the talk page rather than edit warring. I can protect the page if neccessary so you would concentrate on finding the consensus. abakharev 05:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lewis Armistead

message: This article states: "In Gettysburg, the film version of Shaara's novel The Killer Angels, Armistead was portrayed by actor Richard Jordan who, like Armistead, died shortly thereafter."

Talk:Compact Macintosh

message: What is the resolution of the black and white compact Macintoshes?  Some places list them at 512 x 342 and others as 512 x 384.  Does anyone have a definitive source? —204.42.21.250 06:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The B&W Macs all started with 9" 512x342 resolution.   The Color Classic was the first 9" display area to introduce 512x384 designed to be compatible with the LC RGB monitor support. There seem to be a number of typos in various Apple documents which might lead to the misinformation as well. Technically speaking the display area is 370 lines with 28 lines reserved for vertical blanking. Together with the introduction of the 384 standard might have contributed to the general misunderstanding. With the Mac II introducing 640x480 resolution and video cards for SE & SE/30 video expansion capable of greater abilities (The SE/30 has more or less the same video hardware as the Mac II though only B&W display capabilities), somewhere along the line even Apple seems to have redrawn the bottom resolution supported to match that of the LC line introduced in the early 90s ignoring everything prior as evidenced by their video resolution tables on their Support specifications database. When even the manufacturer itself gets it wrong, that kind of information is highly likely to be widely disseminated. So, all 9" B&W CRT Macs natively support a single resolution of 512x342 and nothing else. This does not include the Macintosh XL (which should not really be included as a Compact Mac) and has its own video standard. --Woodwynlane 02:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Majolica

message: In the 15th century Italian majolica changed. The colors became more vivid by adding a second layer of glaze. The tin glaze of the antique Italian majolica itself was a mixture of the elements of ordinary lead glaze and tin-oxide. This was liquefied with water and (most likely) a little gum arabic, into which the clay objects were dipped. Also around that time the colors of Italian majolica changed. By the early sixteenth century, a full range of colors was available: blues, greens, yellows, oranges, white, black, and brown, and several tones such as ruby red, pink and reddish brown. Several Italian majolica workshops in Deruta of Maestro Giorgio and his descendants in Gubbio specialized in those special color tones.
The Italian majolica production was led by the city of Florence. The technique of making Majolica originally came from Islamic Spain. How it was introduced to Italy is not clear, but at the turn of the 16th century the making of Italian majolica spread through the whole of Italy. The workshops were normally working commission based  making custom-made designs for nobility.  
Italian majolica had a last flowering at Urbino in the last third of the sixteenth century. But by the end of the century, production had declined due to economic constraints, although the so-called bianchi di Faenza, lightly decorated white wares made in Faenza, continued the tradition of new designs and fine workmanship.
