Talk:James C. Corman

message: * Sure, they would put the congressman in the back row while other congressmen would be on the front row. The group picture was used in other 9 congressmen articles. Why the official photo would list the names in this order? The most important part of his long career was as a representative, but nothing is written on it. He wrote to me that he was most proud of his civil rights legislation. Ucla90024 (talk) 21:02, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure what the point is. The caption does not give Left-to-Rights, and it (as I remember) does not give the name of the military officer at all. Without knowing exactly which person is Mr. Corman, I am sure you will agree that the photo should not be used. I side with you about the need for more info on his Congressional career and would welcome anybody's improving that section. Yours sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 23:09, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: There are several legends regarding the invention of this cream. There is a castle near Paris called Vaux Le Vicomte , where Vatel used to work before going to Chantilly, and where we learn that the cream was invented there, for a party thrown by Fouquet to impress the king.
Later, when Vatel served the cream on Chantilly castle, the king would have named it "Chantilly Cream".
Nelbr 16:42, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sic. The reputation of Vatel as a chef seems to be based on not knowing the difference betwen a maître d'hôtel (Vatel's position) and a chef de cuisine. So the story of the "origin" of Crème Chantilly is perhaps founded on historicising whipped cream. The "death date" in the article is the date of Mme de Sevigné's letter reporting the suicide. The pseudohistory of cooking is  malarkey farci. Here's a better start for Vatel.--Wetman 08:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Edwin Reinecke

message: Article should explain his resignation as Lt Governor. As I recall he was convicted of perjury, and was legally required to resign when sentenced.

message: An edit was made recently purporting to summarise how (in specific terms) the subject had perjured himself. The information in question was (according to the edit summary) provided by someone claiming to have been in the subject's employ at the time. I reverted the edit as openly confirmed original research. I have little doubt that the information provided was accurate, but we still need a reliable source to verify the claim, especially as this is a biography of a living person. I have not yet been able to find a source but I would encourage those with a better understanding of the subject to do what they can to find one. The article could probably do with a few more sources in general. Stalwart111 00:03, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

:The use of "current clamp" in biology is surely a corruption of its use in general electrical and electronic instrumentation.

message: Just wondering what the reason is that the article doesn't list affiliates such as Delta Connection or KLM CityHopper?

replies: text: Contrary to what you said, affiliates such as Delta Connection and KLM CityHopper are not listed. As stated, the Star and Oneworld articles list the affiliates in the affiliate column, but the affiliate column here is nearly empty (aside from Shanghai Airlines). I understand needing sources of course, the difficult thing is unlike Star and Oneworld that have a page listing affiliates, SkyTeam doesn't have one. Regionals like Delta Connection are affiliates so they should be listed (again see pages for other alliances) there's just no sources, that's all.

Talk:Obadiah ben Jacob Sforno

message: I have confirmed, at least to my own satisfaction, that this is an alternate spelling.
I have made a fragmentary, unwikified article of this name a redirect to the current article. It included the following discussion of the alternate spelling. Is this of any value? If it is, could someone with more knowledge in this area than myself incorporate it into the article?
Obadja is an esoteric spelling the Hebrew name "Ovadia." In somme Sephardic pronunciations, the soft "bet" sound is a unique sound, neither "B" nor "V." To produce this sound, tighten the opening of the lips as in producing a W, hold it there, and let air out slowly so that the lips vibrate slightly. To an untrained ear, the sound is close to a B.
In Ashkenazic pronunciation, and in many Eastern pronunications, the soft bet is a V sound (the letter is pronounced vet, or vais/veyz). Moving Ashkenazic V to Sephardic B-V, onoe moves from Ovadia to Obadia.
In addition, classic German transliterations use a J to represent a Y (as in Y[es]) sound. Phonetically, Ovadia is O-vad-ya, so the German transliteration would be Ovadja.
Combining the two, one gets Obadja. On the face of it, this spelling is weird, because Germanic transliteration is by definition an Ashkenazic one, so Obadja is a mish-mash of odd Ashkenazic-German and incorrectly-heard-Sephardic.

For example, the Mercury spacecraft's escape rocket had an aerospike to reduce drag during launch.

Talk:Hoagy Carmichael

message: The quotation from Alec Wilder in the second sentence of the lead, praising Carmichael as the "the most talented, inventive, sophisticated and jazz oriented of all the great craftsmen" of pop songs in the first half of the 20th century, is rather misleading in context. I have not read Wilder's book on the subject (American Popular Song: The Great Innovators, 1900-1950) but it is my understanding that Wilder divided his discourse on composers into categories of merit. He put Carmichael into the category of "great craftsmen" which, for Wilder, was lower than that of the highest echelon reserved for (if I'm not mistaken) Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Richard Rodgers, and Harold Arlen. Thus, Wilder was actually calling Carmichael "the most talented, etc." within the group he rated as craftsmen rather than as something more grandiose. Of course, all such ratings are subjective, and since the quote in the lead is misleading anyway, perhaps we should just remove it. Goodtablemanners (talk) 02:47, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
