message: The "Painting" subsection uses the floating text: "He disliked the work of contemporary German painters Adolf Menzel, Arnold Böcklin, Wilhelm Leibl and Anselm Feuerbach". It would be useful for the article to clarify what he disliked about their work. Although an earlier edit called these artists "German Impressionists", which would link with the section's existing lead-up sentence, they each were not, in entirety, Impressionists, and were variously and at different times exponents of Post-Impressionism, Realism, and German Expressionism.

Talk:Golden Kite Award

message: The Golden Kite Award is also the Vietnamese equivalent of an Academy Award (Oscar). --68.81.70.65 (talk) 18:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vietnamese Golden Kite 

message: Quoting the lead: "the Golden Kite Awards are the only children’s literary award judged by a jury of peers."
Guardian Children's Fiction Prize is under slow construction. In the lead I now say, "The Guardian calls it the only children's book award winner selected by peers." The newspaper probably says that every year. A panel of three children's writers (perhaps British fiction writers) makes the shortlist and final selections. I understand that to mean the committee chair, who is children's book editor for the newspaper, doesn't vote or participate as a decision maker after the longlist stage.
Perhaps the Golden Kite alone is conferred by a society of peers.
The Guardian Prize as an example obviously challenges only the GKA Fiction claim.
Does a single panel/jury (no distinction there, i suppose) handle all four annual GKAwards? Or do illustrators select the Picture Book Illustration winners, and so on? This bears on which GKAwards are unique as we say, which claims are a stretch, and which (most likely re Fiction) are simply wrong. --P64 (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Bombed

message: The word "fresco" is used several times to describe the exterior design. I have always thought fresco is a technique of water-based paint on wet clay/plaster. Surely these towers are not covered in clay. Later, it is described as "pate de verre" (a glass fusion technique), which I don't believe is considered a type of fresco. 
Perhaps "mural" is a better word describing the exterior art.

thread_title:  wishbone offense 

message: The "confusing" tag is correct -- there is too much unexplained jargon in the article which makes it unintelligible to someone who doesn't know the subject already.  The follow terms need to be explained before or at the time of their use:
*"pinches down"
*"play-action passing"
*"playside"
*"standard fullback dive play"
Remember that we're writing for the average Joe and Jane, someone who perhaps hears "triple option" while watching a televised games and wants an explanation.  The article doesn't need to be written in babytalk, but it does need as little jargon as possible, and should be understandable by someone with only rudimentary knowledge of the game.Someone who understands the intricacies of the jargon used should do some rewriting.

thread_title: Quote

message: I would like to suggest a few updates:
1. The statistics and links to our publications are pretty outdated. I suggest having a look at our up-to-date statistics from the last Annual Report (2011) which you can find here (European Ombudsman's website) and our compliance follow-up reports (2006-2011 which are available here)
The Ombudsman received 2 510 complaints in 2011, compared to 2 667 in 2010. He opened 396 investigations into alleged maladministration by the EU administration. This represents an increase of 18% compared to the previous year, when 335 inquiries were opened. In 2011, Spain, with 361 complaints, overtook Germany (308) with the greatest number of complaints, followed by Poland (233) and Belgium (190). Relative to population, however, the greatest proportion of complaints came from Luxembourg and Cyprus.
In 2011, the overall rate of compliance by the EU institutions with his suggestions was 82%. The best performers were the EU Agencies with a 100% compliance rate. The compliance rate of the European Commission was the same as the overall figure of 82%, while the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO) scored 69%. 
2. We have some publications that could be useful to link to. I am listing them below for your information:
- The European Code of Good Administrative Behaviour
- Public service principles for the EU civil service 
Thank you in advance for your kind help and advice,

replies: text: I have incorporated your suggestions into the article. In some cases I've taken your exact wording and in others I've made some slight alterations. I've added the 2011 overview and the 2011 compliance report as sources for the article, and removed some outdated 2009 information (though I've left some in for comparison). I did also include the external links you suggested, though it may be that other editors don't like the fact that there are three external links all pointing to the same website.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: A useful reference for this clock is the monograph, The Astronomical Clock of the Cathedral of Strasbourg, by Charles Ungerer and Leon Leclerc (in English, translator not given).  Published by Societe d'Edition de la Basse-Alsace, Strasbourg, 1962.  I bought a copy many years ago from the souvenir seller located, at the time, directly in front of this famous clock, thus blocking my appreciation of its lower details, alas.  The booklet will give many more details about the clock and its maker.
The clock now strikes at "half past midday" or thereabouts, as Strasbourg, like the rest of France, is on continental time, which is set to 15 degrees east longitude.  Strasbourg is 7 degrees, 45 minutes east of Greenwich, which means that noon in Strasbourg is 31 minutes past civil noon.  Which is to say, the third clock, like its two predecessors, still strikes at noon, local time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.3.151.239 (talk) 19:26, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
