Talk:Gran Chaco people

message: The discussion of a so-called "Chaco tribe" in New Mexico (in the disambiguation section) appears to be a fallacious back formation from the pueblos of Chaco Canyon.  The discussion of Solar and Lunar alignements also sounds like Chaco Canyon.
I've edited the disambiguation section to move the entry to the South America subheading and remove the reference to New Mexico.
There is no "Chaco tribe" in New Mexico; this entry should be rewritten to address the Chaco tribe in Paraguay.
The classic source is "Ethnography of the Chaco", by Alfred Métraux. vol. 1, Pp. 197-370 in Julian H. Steward, editor, Handbook of South American Indians (1946).  I leave writing this entry to someone who's knowledgeable about South American ethnography.

thread_title: January 2006

message: There is no mention in the article of any lawsuits against the brothers.  Nor do they seem to have been prosecuted criminally for public mischief.
 
This seems odd.  Surely the danger of what they were doing was obvious from the beginning.  If we suppose that they were acting innocently doesn't this suggest a culpable level of carelessness?
 
Careless or delinquent, aren't they liable either way for the damage caused by their behaviour?  If they were neither prosecuted nor sued, this seems to me an instance of "the dog didn't bark" being an important piece of information missing from the article.  No?

thread_title:  No Lawsuits Nor Prosecution? 

message: The link at the bottom of the article for the web site for Brain in Lahore, Pakistan is on a wayback machine.  I checked that page, stepping forward with the date utility, and the original page disappeared and was replaced by a 404 page after April 2006.  I did a web search and I turned up a lot of hits that were not the original company, and this one that does seem to be the same people:  http://www.brain.net.pk/
Note that the only difference about this URL in the link at the bottom of the article is that /aboutus.htm is omitted, so I believe that this is the main page of the web site.  Now we are viewing index.html or similar Apache default starting page.
There is no History or About section; this seems to be what was deleted in 2006, not the web site itself.  I'll check back in a few weeks and if no one objects, I'll update the link.

Talk:Motif (music)

message: I think the image would look better displayed to the left, not in the center (which on this monitor is just to the right of center). Hyacinth 22:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Image

message: The notion that "a motif is foreground while a figure is background" can not be considered to be in any way standard. For example, the Harvard Dictionary defines a motif as "a short figure of characteristic design...", making no distinction at all between motif and figure. Morris uses the term "unit", giving "figure" as an alternative, for "the smallest possible component of a musical phrase", and gives the most famous of all motifs, the opening of Beethoven 5 as an example — hardly "background". In his analysis of the Appassionata, Tovey describes the first four bars as a "Theme (AB) of 2-bar figure (a) on chord of F minor followed by 2-bar figure (b) on and around dominant." The figure (a) is bald unison and couldn't possibly be background. These are just the first few examples that came to hand and are not likely the best. It is deeply discouraging to find article after article after article presenting the ivory tower speculations of this or that academic theorist as if they were the Laws of the Universe.

thread_title:  Motif and Figure 

message: The Wikipedia article shouldn't task the reader to run a gauntlet of numerous, different experts' opinions, directly quoted, on what a motif is [present version].

Talk:International scale of river difficulty

message: Rivers are graded by the hardest/most technical section on the river. I.e. the river could be virtually flat up to a waterfall, the waterfall could be grade 4 and so the river would be grade 4.

thread_title:  Needs editing? 

message: We could do with some better photos illustrating grades in my opinion. The current grade 3 and grade 5 shots are particularly poor illustrations, because ideally the photos should all be taken at approximately the same eye-level above the river, and approximately equal distance from the rapid concerned. That way it will offer a much better comparitive illustration. Someone kayaking down the rapid will help to show scale too.
I just swapped out the grade six photo because someone had put a my photo of Guile Triple-step in there, which is not a grade six rapid. It's grade 5. I've paddled it myself! Rhine Falls is undisputably grade six though (it being the biggest waterfall in Europe!) But ideally we have one which is a more reasonable size river, but still grade 6, and with somebody in it somehow to illustrated scale.

Talk:Field Dog Stud Book

message: The Wikipedia definition of a kennel club is the following:"A kennel club (known as a kennel council or canine council in some countries) is an organization for canine affairs that concerns itself with the welfare, promotion, and maintenance of more than one breed of dog."
The FDSB is a kennel club though it stuck with it's traditional name as a stud book.  It organizes Field Trials, registers dogs, maintains DNA informaion to promote the health of the breeds that it registers, control out-crosses to ensure the vitality of the breeds.  It is a properly categorized as a Kennel Club despite the misleading name.  The AKC itself was originally a stud book but changed the name.  The FDSB chose not to change the name despite being involved in similar activities.

What you've described is a registry and thanks for your input as it has led me to work on the kennel club page.   In registers I would like to include independent terrier and hunt registries, and the Greyhound Racing Authorities and the like.  I certainly mean no disrespect to any of those, far from it, and I think a distinction has to be made between that and a KC, one of whose functions is the maintenance of a registry.

Talk:Saxophonics

message: It wouldn't surprise me if someone found "saxophonics" itself to be a neologism. However, the concepts involved are not new at all, and a lot of history was missing from previous versions (e.g., no mention of the Varitone or Eddie Harris). I've attempted to provide some more background. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 22:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The policy for deletion doesn't necessarily include neologisms. What might alleviate the "catch-all" quality is to tighten up specific uses of the term. In web searches I see 2 distinct uses. One is a broad use describing any saxophone focussed event, or saxophone focussed appreciation (usually straight toned) and the second use is specific to Skerik and a unique style... electronics are implied if one is familiar with his work. First use of the term I have found actually regards straight-toned playing. See the 1998 All Kooked Out reference below. I've yet to find reference of the term specific to electronics, let alone simultaneous multiple instrument playing, or circular breathing. If there is agreement, maybe multiple instrument and circular breathing could be moved to the article saxophone, or simply removed and this article could be condensed to the two most common implied uses of the term (1-broad use and 2-electronics, etc) as well as disambiguation for the bands now using the term as a name. I think it can also be stated something to the effect "...is most likely a neologism..."  - Steve3849 talk 23:26, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
