Talk:Okeh Records

message: How is the label name pronounced?? O-kay? O-kee? o-KUH? 
:It's pronounced "O-kay". Steelbeard1 01:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Pronunciation

message: While correct *for the company itself*, the claim that Okeh was inventing something new when they started doing location recording with portable equipment in 1922 is ridiculous. Especially in the earliest days of commercial disc recording, it had always been easier and more economic to have the engineers travel to the artists than the other way round. The Gramophone Co.'s senior recording expert, Fred Gaisberg, had travelled all over Europe making recordings since 1899, and had reached as far as China and Japan by 1903. The real oddity is not that Okeh covered many recording locations throughout the USA, but that Victor, Edison and Columbia had failed to do so (leading to the curious fact that we have practically only East Coast, especially New York artists on record for the 1900 - 1920 era). 94.223.171.7 (talk) 10:14, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Amine

message: I added some references to the biological activity section expanded it a tiny bit. I'm sort of a noob to wikipedia and two of my references look a little funny but I can't figrue out why. If someone could fix them, that would be great. They are the last two references in the biological activity page. Also, I agree a quaternary amine should be added to the top graphic. I'll try to remake the graphic when I have time if no one else can get around to it.RabidRabbit23 (talk) 09:38, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

text: I moved a couple of your sentences from Amine here to the Quaternary ammonium cation (compound) article along with the references you provided.  I fixed the link to osmolytes.  The other stuff you added I left here, but with a clarification.  There is a separate article on iminium, which means compounds with a C=N+ moiety.  I did not mention iminium in the biological activity section.  H Padleckas (talk) 12:45, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there any specific reason why a Jewish man with Polish passport had his identity changed to just Polish in the article? It makes it confusing and even more nonsensical with the part about his involvement in Judenrat and we noticed similar questionable editing in other articles that may lead to people being mislead. Not so surprisingly articles for people like Marek Edelman still use more correct version "Jewish-Polish" that is very easy to understand.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎89.69.234.65 (talk) 
:His nationality was Polish, and that's what the first sentence indicates. The lede also indicates that he was the head of the Jewish Council in the Jewish ghetto, so it's quite clear that he was a Jew. If that's not enough, the article is also in the categories "Jewish collaborators with Nazi Germany", "Jewish Polish politicians", and "Jewish engineers", so there's no change people will be "misled", though it is quite unclear what they might be "misled" about; perhaps you can clarify that.

message: *A statistic (singular) is a single measure of some attribute of a sample.
*Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data.
*The terms data, information and knowledge are frequently used for overlapping concepts. The main difference is in the level of abstraction being considered.  Data is the lowest level of abstraction, information is the next level, and finally, knowledge is the highest level among all three.
*Econometrics is the application of mathematics, statistical methods,  and, more recently, computer science, to economic data and is described as the branch of economics that aims to give empirical content to economic relations.
These are the definitions according to Wikipedia, as I copied them from other articles. Don't know if this helps. Wbm1058 (talk) 15:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: In the "Oulipo Compendium" one can find that (could somebody adapt this text for the Wikipedia article??):
The Outrapo is affiliated to the College of 'Pataphysics.
Its co-founder, Stanley Chapman, Regent d'Epidictique of the College, describes its work in that context:
Although a founder-member of the Oulipo, it has always seemed to me far more necessary - pataphysically speaking - that there should be an ouvroir dedicated to the theatre in which Jarry performed and for which he
wrote the works for which he will always be known. In a College dominated by philosophers, professors, pedagogues, pedants, explorers, mamathematicianspoets, novelists and critics, the theatre itself remained a mere pretext and an abstraction .. . .
Much work has been based upon Oulipian principles (carefully avoiding the cruelty of the word 'constraint'), but we have also extended far beyond this into potential theatrical techniques of production - particularly
regarding Boolean Theatre, whose overlapping and interlocking Escherian architecture has enabled La Fontaine to rub shoulders with Tchekov; Ionesco hold hands with Hugo; Shakespeare to mug with Bruce 
Forsyth; Lorenzaccio (Sarah Bernhardt and Musset) to usurp Ubu (Jarry and Gemier amongst many others). The N ± 7 method applied to the dramatis personae has produced startling effects and a major project in 
rehearsal for the future is the production of A Hundred Thousand Billion Dramatic Pieces.

Talk:The Toasters

message: What is the third wave era, and what makes them the first "true" band of it?  Who are the many who consider them such? RickK 02:44, 14 Oct 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: The "waves" of ska are pretty much a subjective term. First Wave came out of Jamaica in the 1960's; Second Wave from the UK in the late 1970's; and the Third Wave from the US beginning in the middle 1980's, ending in the late 1990's. The reason the Toasters are often credited with it is because they stayed with a more traditional style of ska and for a few years were the only "new" ska band with any real recognition. Another reason the Toasters are often sited is because of the record label that frontman Rob Bucket Hingley founded - Moon Ska. In 1986, Moon Ska released their first album - what is called by fans of the genre -the first third wave album, a compilation entitled, NY Beat: Hit and Run. I suppose the many would be considered "ska fans". vudu 16:06, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Baku

message: The IPA and audio file do not match up here, with the <k> being written as a [c] in the IPA, but realised as a [tʃ] in the audio file. This cannot be chalked up to allophony since the IPA here uses [narrow transcription]. Furthermore /c/ and /tʃ/ appear to be separate phonemes in Azerbaijani, which are represented by two different letters in the orthography (<k> = /c/ and <ç> = /tʃ/).
There is a possibility that the audio is correct for the dialect of Azerbaijani spoken in the city itself, but this still leads to confusion due to the IPA not matching. Is anyone more familiar with the language able to clear this up? Samdh17 (talk) 10:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Charles Matthews 12:09, 14 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: I'm very sorry, but this page is so badly written that there is simply no hope of anyone understanding anything from it... (apart from the writer and references?) 
I could present a long list of complaints, but all of them would amount to the same thing: "what is this sentence trying to say??", for almost every sentence. Firstly it doesn't even say what the topic is, it trails off into "an oddity" about the differintegral (composition property?), followed by an obscure example dribbling on without saying anything helpful... Finally, when it reaches the end, it still doesn't even say what the topic is about, only that "Working with a properly initialized differintegral is the subject of initialized fractional calculus".

replies: text: M1, all the notes state that the -200s had Spey 506 engines. The 217 had 511-14s, so doesn't fit that bill. However, the 217 was a -200 fuselage, so is not a -300.

It is a bit grainy, but hey, it's the era! And being a Tarom aircraft, it reminds the history of Romanian production.

Talk:Jim Cairns

message: The article makes the claim that opposition to the Vietnam War was led in Australia by the "Communist Party and trade unions". This seems to completely overlook the Labor Party under the leadership of Arthur Calwell, whose opposition to the Vietnam War was so pronounced that it earned him an assassination attempt. I wasn't alive in 1970, but it seems to me fairly improbable that the Communist Party LED Australian opposition to the Vietnam War more than the ALP and the trade unions did. 203.206.101.47 14:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To be clear, the attempt on Arthur Calwell's life was made by a mentally disturbed individual, and there is no reason to suppose he was "motivated" specifically by Calwell's opposition to the Vietnam War.  It is also the case that the ALP's opposition was as much motivated by the historical opposition to Conscription as anything else.  In election speeches in the 1966 election Calwell referred to a "vote for conscription" being a "blood vote".  Remember the ALP split over the issue of conscription in 1917 - the original and by far the greatest of the ALP's splits.  I agree that the Communist Party was far too small to have actually led the anti-war movement, but they were certainly disproportionately represented in the leadership of the movement, and many trade unions, particularly those opposed to the war, were led by people with communist links (in that time at least).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.161.78.193 (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
