Talk:Scilla sect. Chionodoxa

message: There is so much confusion in the literature over the correct names and number of species, that I think an editor has to take a stance, and choose one source over another, otherwise the article will be very muddled. If you want to accuse me of a degree of WP:OR in this respect, I guess I'll have to plead guilty. Hopefully, the result is acceptable. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:18, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I know almost nothing about Chionodoxa, but generally agree that it is clearer to pick one (relatively recent and well-supported by evidence) classification and use that (while also noting that other classifications exist). The way it is treated now looks OK to me. Kingdon (talk) 00:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The problem here is that we can’t treat a group of Scilla species as a Section, without treating the whole genus as being subdivided into Sections. More recent sources have advocated a resurrection of Chionodoxa as a genus. --Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉  12:32, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Kansas City blues

message: Massive revision of this entry is required by someone knowledgeable in the area of blues music and the history of the Kansas City blues scene.  As it stands this article lacks an objective historical perspective on the subject.  Aside from casual mentions of Count Basie, Charlie Parker and some noteable artists and clubs, the article reads more like a brochure from the Chamber of Commerce than an encyclopedia entry.
I also propose removal of Jason Star from the Local Artists section of the article on Kansas City Blues (music).  Star is neiter a blues musician nor is his stature as an "artist" noteworthy enough for inclusion in Wikipedia in general.  The inclusion of a link to his My Space page also indicates a measure of self-promotion.Chairman B. 07:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  List of notable practitioners 

message: "The left hand characteristically plays a four-beat pulse" -- That isn't right. A four-beat pulse has four even beats, first epitomized in the bass playing of Walter Page. His Wikipedia article states: "Page is credited with developing and popularizing the "walking bass" style of playing on all four beats, a transition from the older, two-beat style."
In contrast, the left hand in stride emphasizes the first and third beats, playing "a single bass note, octave, major seventh or major tenth interval on the first and third beats, and a chord on the second and fourth beats" as the article quite correctly puts it.  This intrinsically generates a two-beat feel characteristic of earlier jazz.
It is the same thing that rock musicians are implying when the speak of "accent on 3" -- it is a two-beat music, especially suitable for dancers, where the downbeat at the beginning of the bar is the One, and the "accent on 3" is the Two. Subdividing the measure by referring to "accent on 3" doesn't give it a four-beat pulse any more than the accents on one and three give stride a four-beat pulse.Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 22:29, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

message: It would be very helpful, especially for readers with little or no musical training, to hear examples of this musical style.

Talk:List of highways in the Northern Territory

message: I have created the highways in importance of their highway status, and their route number. Little emphasis was put on street names, even if they were duplicated and hyperlinked on the same page. Apparently User:Bidgee has a problem with this, and I would like feedback on this page as to which looks smarter and easier to read.
Here are the options:
Option 1
* 
** Stuart Highway
**Victoria Highway
* Barkly Highway
OR
Option 2
* 
**Stuart Highway
**Victoria Highway
* Barkly Highway
* Stuart Highway
Also view List of highways in Tasmania, and look at the National Route 1, Bass Highway, and A2 Bass Highway status to see that an emphasis was put on route numbers, as oppose to the name of the highway, as to which inspired me to change each Listing of highways in Australia, to this conventional format, as it is not only easier to read, but better to comprehend, and note the importance of the highways and their route markers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rom rulz424 (talk • contribs) 07:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I think that following roads or highways are missing:
* Namatjira Drive from Larapinta Drive through the Western MacDonnell Ranges back to Hermannsburg
* Tanami Track (not missing, but has a highway number)
* Larapinta Drive from Alice Springs to Hermannsburg.
* Ross Highway from Alice Springs to Ross River Homestead.
* Dorat Road alternative route to Stuart Highway.
* Mainoru Road from south Katherine to Arnhem Land.
* Daly River Road from Dorat Road to Daly River.
* Wadeye Road from Daly River to Wadeye.
I don"t know wheter they are highways or Outback Tracks, but at least the Ross Highway is a sealed road, which the Plenty or Sandover Hwy isn't.

replies: text: I just noticed this. For future reference, non-roster players are just that. They are not on the official roster. They are not on injured reserve, either. Therefore, back when I asked this question, Greene should either have been listed as a non-roster player, or have been removed altogether. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 10:23, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Non-Roster Players 

message: Edits by Jusgtr indicate that Greene is no longer an alternate captain. However, the Los Angeles Kings have not announced/confirmed that Greene has been replaced as an alternate captain. In fact, Greene, aven though he was on injured reserve last season, remained listed as an alternate captain on the team's official roster throughout the 2015-16 season (per official game notes).
In other words, the template is currently incorrect.
As such, I have asked  Jusgtr to revert the edit that removed the "A" from Greene's entry in this template. I have already reverted this user's edit twice, and would prefer to avoid an edit war. That said, if the edit is not reverted within 24 hours, I will revert the edits, notify the user as well as make a note of this on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey. -- Gmatsuda (talk) 13:23, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sexing Bengalese Finches 

message: Is there a source for the claim that two males make the best foster parents? This site claims male-female pairings are the most effective, and also says that a trio of males works too. This article says that sex doesn't matter, but that, anecdotally, some finch breeders prefer a pair of males because they won't have eggs of their own to take care of. Similarly, this webpage mentions how many prefer to use pairs of two males, but the author says they prefer male-female pairs and doesn't say one is better than the other. This article claims that any combination of a pairing (for both sex and sometimes different species foster parents) and doesn't make any statement about the efficacy any of the types of pairings. The article references the book Society Finches as Foster Parents by Robert Black, which may be worth reading if anyone can get their hands on it. This webpage does say that two males work the best which is pretty good and might be useful as a source but since there's conflicting information in other sources I'd like to see some discussion.

Talk:Spennymoor United A.F.C.

message: I noticed that Chris the Dude removed the Football in England template from the Spennymoor United F.C. article.  I placed it there because there was no easy way to get to other pertinent articles regarding English football from the Spennymoor United article as the club is defunct and, therefore, there is no league or conference template.  If you could point me to the rule that says no F in E template for clubs, I'd be appreciative, as many other clubs have this template.  For example, SUFC's successor club Spennymoor Town F.C. has the F in E template, and more are stupd inently, articles like Preston North End F.C. and Cardiff City F.C. have the F in E template in them, among many other examples.  It appears to me that the only club articles that do not have the F in E template are Premiership club articles, probably bacause the Premier League has its own special set of templates (see at the end of the Bolton Wanderers article for an example).  In the absence of a specific rule to the contrary, I think that the F in E template should be put back in the Spennymoor United article.  Friejose 12:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
