Talk:Work song

message: I think work songs are sad because there about slaves, and slavery is sad. and BAD
:Not all work songs are about slaves.  They're actually quite common in a number of contexts.  A more complete article would make this clear, but they include sea shanties and things of that nature.  If you go to the article and click on "what links here", you can see the many different kinds of articles that talk about work songs. Tuf-Kat 01:46, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
Sure is sad and bad. In the year of our lord 2005, in Europe, we're suffering a kind of slavery far more supportable 
than the Africans in the USA suffered, but liberty is far from just round the corner. Hearing how the Africans turned hell on earth into blues, "jass", to provide the basis of the finest music of the 20th century is a lesson
to us all. The work songs help us understand how this could have happened, lacking as we do very much documentation.
Someone find "It was early in the morning", PLEASE ! (An Alan Lomax recording, I think).

Please note that this discussion page is solely for discussion relating to the accompanying article.  I realize that slavery is a very sensitive subject for a lot of people, and worthy of a LOT of discussion, but this is not the place for it.  As this is an encyclopedia, please try to keep all talk here about facts relating to work songs and not about points-of-view on slavery.  Thank you. -Âme Errante 08:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Sadness

message: Possibly this should be turned into multiple articles, one for the slavery-related one, one for sea chanteys, and then this page should contain links to those and the Venezuelan work songs.  
What's an acceptable term for the slavery-related ones?  My tendancy is to refer to them as Negro work songs, as that's presumably what they would've been called at the time, but having not been brought up in the USA, I'm unsure whether this would cause complaint.  Anyone?

message: "Mon ami me délaisse" is roughly translated as "My boyfriend dumped me"
As a rough translation, I got "My friend forsakes me." It might not be quite grammatically correct, but I certainly think it's more accurate than the first.  Being "dumped" is a rather modern term, and seeing that this song is from the 18th century, it doesn't really fit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.226.218.73 (talk) 23:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ray Bradbury

message: It was canonic knowledge to me as a youth that there were three central figures in classic Science-Fiction, and that these three were Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Ray Bradbury. Only some days ago I have been challenged by articles in Wikipedia (in english, german and french) that claim The Big Three in SF were (and had always been) Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein. Taking this for a revisionist approach, I quickly got into fair trouble when having to prove my point of view to some quite offensed wikipedians ... and was unable to. Anybody here with concrete arguments in favour of Bradbury? 2001:7E8:C29C:2400:99E8:1290:C28A:DD1B (talk) 19:04, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Mashgiach

message: "Mashgiach" has two uses that I am aware of: (1) a person who supervises the kashrut of a commercial esablishment, and (2) a person who supervises the students of a yeshiva. Neither of these would get redirected to "Rosh Yeshiva". The mashgiach of a yeshiva might be the same person as the Rosh Yeshiva, but that is rarely the case. I therefore plan to delete this redirection page, and modify the places which link to it. I'm not sure how long I should wait for comments and reactions, and I will now research Wikipedia's policies and suggestions in that area. --Keeves 02:07, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: Keeves ... Since the time of your post, I've added more Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious law references to the category Legal occupations. Take a look.  Yes, Posek is there. (However, Rabbi and Imam, while they give religious law guidance to their flock, are too generalist in my view, i.e., not as specialized in their juristic functions as some of the various  juristic-specific Christian, Jewish and Muslim namespaces that I did decide to add to the category.) One reasons why I thought it was a good idea to add religious law namespaces to that category is that because, in some countries, religious law functions as the law of the country or forms a large part of the law of the country. --Aquarius Rising 01:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Given that "mashgiach" is a male term, I propose that the article title be changed to be gender neutral to correct for gender bias on Wikipedia. I suggest either "Mashgiach/Mashgicha" or perhaps "Mashgichim" instead. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 18:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Outtakes? 

message: I've read through the article, per s request. Overall, it looks very good. I see no problems with any of the content that is present. My only thoughts on change would be to know a little bit more about a few things.
# Matt Falon's first and only mention was about his removal. I found it to be a bit confusing at first. It just seems a bit odd to mention the removal of someone who hadn't even been introduced yet. Is there anything of note about him that could be mentioned prior to that?
# I think the album could use a bit more about it's actual sound/composition/musical style. All I can really gather about that is basically from the infobox calling it glam, and the reception section referring to it as "party rock" or something. I think going into that would help the reader understand a bit more about the album.
Those were my main thoughts. I completely understand if these things are unknown or unattainable. I know it can be easy to ask or muse upon these sorts of things, but rather difficult to find out, especially from albums from an age before internet journalism was prominent. The article overall is great. Sergecross73 msg me 20:31, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your time reading the article, I'm glad you think it's satisfying. I'll sort out Falon's issue, although his presence in the band is barely meaningful. The lyrics and music analysis are beyond my reach as I found little in the books/magazines archives about the album's composition. There's a biography about the lead singer coming out in September, so that should help me writing that section. Thanks again for all the input. Cheers.--Retrohead (talk) 23:07, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. I think you're fine bumping it up to B class at this point, though I do think not having more on the sound/style aspect would be a recurring issue at a hypothetical GA review, FYI. But yeah, good work! Sergecross73 msg me 13:04, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Template talk:Civil union

message: I notice that there's a (red) link to Civil_unions_in_Maryland in this template.   I'm assuming that this is because of the legislation passed in 2005 by the Maryland state legislature, though in my opinion that doesn't qualify as a full civil union -- it was mostly concerned with hospital visitation rights (or at least that was the aspect most covered in the media) and probably should be put in the domestic partnership category instead.  That question is moot, though, as Governor Ehrlich vetoed the law.  Thus, I'm removing the MD link. --Jfruh 02:55, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I'd like to propose a new version of the template. The proposal radically alters the template, so we should discuss it first. The template I'd like us to consider is slightly wider but significantly shorter. It also matches more the Template:SSM currently in use.

I cannot find a single reliable, third-party source to verify "Leroy". Per BB, I've modified his middle name, and not added a source. The reason is that I found two unreliable sources (both primary and user-generated) that I considered reliable enough to have made the change, but not reliable enough to include - even with "primary source inline" tags. The sources are Ancestry.com (here; account required) and Findagrave.com (here).
