Talk:Gerard Croiset

message: Gerard Croiset was VERY famous throughout Europe and the world (so much so that even I know of him, by word of mouth, not having been born in his heyday). And being a journalist, let me tell you: people do NOT become famous like that without very substantial reasons. To a certain extent, that is true even today; but in the 1950s and 1960s there were no "famous for being famous" types, such as we can see today. 
And yet, all we have in this article is the mention of a success or two, another success or two without any references - and "well publicised failures". So, he became famous for his failures? 
I don't think so. 
Please, include more cases, more references - or leave the article to somebody who really cares abut this subject and is also capable of impartiality.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.142.69.208 (talk) 23:40, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

message: User:GoldRingChip, you appear to be improving the references, which is very valuable, but also changing the citation style to use sfn/harvnb. This too could be beneficial, but not if the article ends up with a hotchpotch of styles, and per WP:CITEVAR  
To be clear, I would support the use of that citation style if there is editor consensus, as it has some very clear benefits in terms of article source readability, but only if the intention is to change all references to sfn/harvnb (which is a lot of work). Could you say what you intend, and then we can test if there is consensus for the change. Thanks. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 06:49, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Ellis Rowan

message: Ellis Rowan's works are stunning works of art in their own right, regardless of any botanical value. Her paintings are long out of copyright and the article deserves the inclusion of one or two. --EZ-SpelChek 02:45, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple have been added from Alice Lounsberry's works. These are small reproductions, and don't quite do justice to the originals, but they do give the flavor of Rowan's style. Those I have scanned will be added to the Commons article on Ellis Rowan. If anyone else cares to add images of Rowan's work, perhaps they can do so on Commons. The National Library of Australia has an on-line database of many works by Rowan (see link here), but they state they don't want images copied to other sites. That is probably not a valid claim, based on my understanding of copyright, but I'm not willing to try to test that. For now, I'll stick to Rowan's published illustrations, all dating from circa 1900. --Cotinis 16:16, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Len Spencer

message: The spelling of "Arkansaw Traveler" is correct and should not be "Arkansas".  Also, the quotes are directly from the song, but due to the age of the song, it is in public domain.
:The title is spelled variously, more often as "Arkansas Traveler" but also as "Arkansas Traveller" and as the unsigned contributor notes above, as "Arkansaw Traveler". The latter of the three, however, is the least common, though it is apparently the spelling used for Spencer's recording. A comprehensive round-up of the titles can be found on Fresno State's  Ballad Index. Allreet (talk) 19:09, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Spelling of "Arkansaw Traveler"

message: The article, which nicely handles Spencer's professional background, lacks biographical information beyond this. Checking elsewhere, I found that Leonard Garfield Spencer was the son of Platt Rogers Spencer, a teacher who developed Spencerian script, a form of business penmanship popular from the mid-19th century through the early 20th century. I'll try to rectify this, though it all depends on what I'm able to dig up. 
As an additional note, the lead paragraphs of this article are "mirrored" as Len Spencer's biography on the Discography of American Historical Recordings. I presume this is part of the good work of the Wikipedia editor (now semi-retired) 
@AudioHistoryAnon, who apparently updated/improved the original lead and than contributed the same to the DAHR website. Allreet (talk) 19:49, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Spinocerebellar tract

message: The wikitable on spinocerebellar tract types seems to contradict this article from a website which contains a lot of great information about brainstem pathways.
If you study closely this image from the article, you will see that in both limbs (lower arms, upper/lower legs) muscle fibers seem to combine with golgi tendons to enter the dorsal spinocerebellar tract, whereas the upper arms (also with combined spindle/golgi fibers) enter the [spino]cuneocerebellar tract. This seems to contradict 2 pieces of information given in the wikitable:
1. That the dorsal spinocerebellar tract carries information from the lower limbs (i.e., the legs) only. But the image I linked shows more than that: the lower arms also send fibers to the same tract. I understand the wikitable may be just trying to paint a general picture that's easier to remember (especially for readers unfamiliar with the subject), rather than be exactly accurate. In that case, perhaps we can leave the table alone, but move on to the next contradiction, which seems more serious...
2. That the dorsal spinocerebellar and cuneocerebellar tracts only carry information from muscle spindles, not golgi tendon organs. The image appears to show both spindle and golgi information going though both tracts.
Does anyone know if there is indeed an error in the wikitable? Hopefully my source here isn't outdated or anything.

message: *I dissassembled a grease gun and discovered that it has two ball-bearing check valves, one just after the piston and one just before the nozzle. However, they appear to be pointing in opposite directions. That is, if "O" is a ball bearing, ":" a rubber seal, and "\/\/\" a spring, it looks like this:-
 piston ->   :O\/\/\  tube \/\/\O: -> out
It seems like the second valve would prevent it from working at all. I am guessing it acts like a zener diode, allowing forward flow only at high pressure, but I can't figure out how it works. Any ideas? —Ben FrantzDale 17:37, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Protohistory

message: I've found other definitions of protohistory, such as this one from: http://www.sron.nl/~jheise/akkadian/protohistory.html
"History starts per definition with the invention of writing (around 3200 BCE). However, the first written documents are scarce, difficult to read, mostly economic in nature and thus revealing little about the political situation. Most of the oldest records are still undeciphered. The earliest historic period is often called protohistory,  the period of scarcely written documents....The small amount of available documents is supplemented by texts written many centuries later but referring to these early stages. In combination with archeological records, these should be taken seriously. A legendary king becomes real when e.g. votive inscriptions carrying his name are found. "
Then again, this site isn't a university site nor an archeological site, as far as I know, so it could be inacurate.
:Thanks for pointing out that alternate definintion. The article here is merely a translation from its French counterpart, which is unsourced. This article could very easily be wrong, in any case. I may add a tag to it saying that it needs to be fact checked or something; my first encounter with the term "protohistory" was in doing this very translation.

thread_title:  Definitions 

message: Writers and editors really should be on the alert for unintended ambiguity. Since the writer knows what they mean, it's easy to (falsely) assume that other people will, to.
Right near the beginning of the article, I saw this:
"...but other cultures have already noted its existence in their own writings."
What is the antecedent of "its"? I thought the writer meant "the existence of writing (in other tribes), but then, after reading more and thinking about it, I realized that what was meant was really "the existence of those other non-literate tribes" (not of writing as a thing). 
I changed the sentence to remove the ambiguity. It might seem a little clunky to repeat the main noun instead of the more elegant "its"... but a little less grace is a small price to pay for clarity.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.26.182.149 (talk) 15:24, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Vector fonts

message: This page proffers the claim that "outline font" and "vector font" are synonyms.  As discussed in a recent (Sept. 15, 2005) thread on comp.fonts (entitled "vector font and outline font"), this is not exactly true.  A Google search on 'define:"outline font"' will find considerable evidence for the claim that an outline font is a font defined by points on the outline of the glyph (thereby having two sets of points -- one on each side -- for each font "stroke").  There also exist "stroke fonts" in which the font is defined by pen strokes, and thus one typically has only one set of points for each stroke, going down the middle of the stroke.  According to the comp.fonts thread, stroke fonts used to be included in windows ("Script" being one of them); similarly, they also existed in many early CAD systems -- particularly ones which used pen-based plotters for paper output.  It would be very strange to consider the term "vector fonts" to exclude stroke fonts, but they are very definitely not "outline fonts".
This conflation of terms has led to some confusion on the Metafont page as well; METAFONT fonts are a sort of combination of stroke fonts and outline fonts; most METAFONT fonts consist of a stroke with a finite-width pen to form an outline, which is then filled.  (These strokes can be additive or subtractive, too!)  Because the pen is of finite-size, and because of the possibility of subtractive strokes, the points in the METAFONT file do not lie on the outline of the black region of the glyph -- and thus calling it an "outline font" (as that page did before I edited it) is quite misleading.  (See the "METAFONT tutorial" linked to on the Metafont page for documentation of the format.)
I propose to edit this page to clarify this issue, at some point when I get around to it after a suitable time for comments has passed.  Since I'm new to Wikipedia, and this is a fairly significant change of the meaning of the page, it seemed appropriate to me to put up this discussion first, and allow others to comment before I do so.  I'd welcome any input.
