Talk:Imperial and Royal

message: "The Habsburg monarch ruled Austria and the Holy Roman Empire as Emperor" - the Holy Roman Empire ended in 1806, when the last emperor resigned. The term "k.u.k." came into being not before 1867, so I deleted that half-sentence --222.1.132.209 12:01, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misc. changes 

message: Right now, the article reads, "Arising from the term 'k.u.k.' we find the name 'Kakania', sometimes used to describe the Empire as a state of mind, bureaucratic and with a very stratified formal society (e.g. in work of Robert Musil)."
Is it worth mentioning that the name Kakania was used as a pun by Musil?  "Kaka" is German for "caca," a child's term for human excrement.  So, by referring to this empire as the land of caca (kakania), Musil was making a statement about society. Poldy Bloom 19:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kakania 

message: It is true that "Imperial-Royal" is different from "Imperial and Royal". However, the terms are so closely related that it is simpler to have a single article that discusses both and the difference between them in one place. The information in the Imperial-Royal article is currently merely a repetition of a subset of the information in the Imperial and Royal article. In my opinion it is not likely to develop independently into a meaningfully distinct article. jnestorius(talk) 22:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose merge. The reason there are 2 articles (as on German Wikipedia) is that, whilst they have two words in common, they had very different, legal and politically sensitive meanings. It should be no surprise that some of the wording in the two articles is similar as both need to clarify the difference between them. Merging them will cause utter confusion and perpetuate the misunderstanding that they are one and the same thing, something I suspect our fellow Austrians and Hungarians would strongly disagree with! --Bermicourt (talk) 22:57, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It will only cause "utter confusion" if people stop reading after the title, rather than reading the opening sentence or two of the merged article. The terms are only clearly distinguished for 1867 to 1918; before then, they are interchangeable. In 2014, all references are historical, so "Imperial-Royal" may refer to either, depending on which date is under discussion, and an article about the earlier period will create confusion by linking to a the post-1867 Imperial-Royal. jnestorius(talk) 15:08, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not correct according to German Wikipedia, so I suggest we check the sources before deciding on a merge. According to their articles: until 1867 "Imperial-Royal" (k.k.) was used for the whole empire. After 1867 it only applied to the Austrian half. "Imperial and Royal" (k.u.k.) was introduced in 1867 for the "combined" empire. They were legally and institutionally different. I see there are some offline (German) sources mentioned in this article. Let's verify what these (and others) say.--Bermicourt (talk) 09:22, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

message: I have googled every name on the list. Sean Fulsom appears twice, but this appears to be justified by the number of instruments he plays. I found a few photographs of Jonathan Davis,  and on every one he is playing the Higland pipes, not the Northumbrian pipes, so I have re-located him. Goran Hallmarken (hurdy-gurdy player) and Olov Johansson (fiddle player)are genuine musicians, but they don't play bagpipes, as far as I can detect, so I have deleted them. I have been unable to locate anyone called Wayne Tonna, so I have deleted that line.
The following appear to non-notable players, so I have deleted them:

thread_title: Point

message: I doubt that Konan really means "the" Single8-system. Instead it sounds more like they've invented one of the many carts for "8mm wide film with Reg8-perforation" (as opposed to the cameras for the 16mm-wide Double8-film) as many of these systems have been referred to as "Single 8 m/m" in English, e.g. the ones introduced by B&H or Agfa.Another reason: It was Kodak that invented the "8mm Type S"/"8mm Type Super" used by both Super8 and Single8.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.220.3.26 (talk) 13:46, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Lane Kirkland

message: I moved this quote to the Talk page.  It appeared in the context of something like "Kirkland's support for the Polish Solidarity trade union leading to the expansion of worker rights in the world."   This is debatable.  Trade union membership was virtually meaningless in the Eastern Block.  However there were guarantees of full employement, health insurance, pensions, etc.  Workers in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union are now technically free to join unions, the practice can be highly restricted.  The economies are subject to international restructuring pressures which result in consolidation or elimination of industries and agricultural sectors.  So the expansion is debatable and not without disadvantages. DJ Silverfish 16:24, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Do we really need an article on Major Raikov? The last Raikov article was merged with the Raiden one, since he was considered too much of a minor character (a joke character even). Not to mention there are far more deserving characters (such as Fortune and Eva) that still don't have a Wikipedia article.

replies: text: It's just that I think there are more important characters to cover before Raikov. Raikov had a screen-presence of what? Five minutes through the whole game? And he's not even that essential to the plot.

thread_title:  Strange sentence - reword? 

message: This article is pretty comprehensive, and very well done. I can think of only a few things which may benefit the article.
One, it would be interesting to know the specific frequency at which bees must beat their wings in order to release the pollen. Also, are there differences in required frequency for the anthers of different flowers? Are there some bees which can produce higher frequencies, and thus have access to pollen from more flower species? I think a "Galapagos finch beak length vs. flower tube length" kind of discussion could be added here.
The agricultural implications of buzz pollination was a good addition to this article. I think a discussion of more buzz-pollinated species (like decorative flowers or even more food plants) would be nice, as there is currently only a sentence about green tomatoes.
The last thing I can think to add, perhaps, is an additional source or two for the "flower morphology" section.
