Talk:33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee

message: The next Monkees performance as a quartet would be in L.A. in late 1986, when Michael Nesmith made a suprise appearance during a Monkees concert.  They would not, however, appear on network TV until 1997.
The song that the article previously mentioned that Auger and Driscoll sang is called "Come on Up", not "Come on Over".  It was first recorded by the Rascals in 1966.

message: I removed the blockquotes out of copyright concern. The excessive use of quotes made the article dangerously close to a copyright violation, made it close to unreadable, and defeats the purpose of this encyclopedia that is supposed to use sources that users summarize in their own words. Those were eight blockquotes that quoted 1.374 words! Wikipedia is not a quotefarm and this article seems concentrated on just one case and is far from a biography. I think it needs to be fundamentally rewritten. Hekerui (talk) 21:03, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander Goedicke

message: I'm a bit mystified about the proper English-language rendering of this composer's name.  I have always known him as "Goedicke", but I see some more recent sources give "Gedike", including imslp.org, an on-line score library which includes works by him.  What brought this up just now is that I am saving PDF files by him and his father, and I am wondering which spelling to use in the file-names.  ("Goedicke" does look a bit like a Germanization of his name.  But I don't know the actual pronunciation of the name.)
I realize that Russian names often have more than one rendering in English, and sometimes one does not seem to take complete precedence over the others.  I've heard that Tchaikovsky himself spelled his name in 21 different ways.
I am wondering whether Wikipedia policy offers guidelines on which version of a Russian name to give preference to.  Is it the one that is best known?  The one that, pronounced phonetically, resembles the Russian pronunciation most closely?  And there is the curious case of Rachmaninov, who seems almost universally to be "Rachmaninoff" in the U.S., but "Rachmaninov" in the rest of the English-speaking world.
Anyway, just wondering.... M.J.E. (talk) 10:09, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: More the other way around: Gedike is the Russification of his family name Goedicke, as his ancestry was German. So in Roman alphabet contexts this was his version. Cyrillic doesn’t have an equivalent of the oe of German, but uses e, and certainly ck would be k. Like many in similar situations back then he probably kept both as ‘correct spellings’ depending on alphabet. But some sources simply transliterate directly from his Cyrillic name rather than his ‘fully German’ one, probably those more exposed to Russian sources. Harsimaja (talk) 22:32, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

message: Heather Cox gained infamy when she repeatedly questions Jameis Winston about rape charges he was completely exonerated of directly after the AC championship game. Winston famously turned his back on the reporter and walked away. The incident is now refereed to as the snub heard round the world and has made Cox very unpopular amongst college football fans especially those who root for Florida State University. Most people find the move highly unprofessional, since the player never spoke about the incident while it was going on, so as a professional she should have realized he would not speak about it after. None the less she choose to ask this line of question directly after the biggest win in the players life, and asked him absolutely nothing about the game. Since then College football fans have called for her removal from ESPN and college sports coverage all together.
