Talk:Stanisław Skrowaczewski

message: With this conductor we run into thornier problems than we'd seen with Günter Wand and Antal Doráti. At least one other person besides me tried valiantly to put that slash on that Polish L in Skrowaczewski's first name in both the article and the URL of the page. I reasoned, since it's possible to put acute and grave accents as well as umlauts in URLs, perhaps it's also possible to put L-slashes in URLs. It appears that it can't be done. At least the body of the article itself has it written correctly. -- Dmetric—Preceding undated comment added at 17:29, 1 December 2003 (UTC)

Dr. Frederick Harris Jr., director of the MIT Wind Ensemble, is currently writing a book about Skrowaczewski.
This info seems relevant to the article. Nationalparks 02:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: First, there is a problem of Verifiability.  Second, it simply does not seem encyclopedic information.  If Dr Harris had finished his book and it was available for sale and considered an authoritative source on Skrowaczewski, then it could be used as a source for the article.  However, even then, we would not expect to see the sentence "Dr Harris has written a book about Skrowczewski" in the article.  The mere fact that X is writing (or has written) a book about Y is not usualy encyclopedic, unless there is something especially significant about X.  Suppose I was writing a book about George W. Bush.  Would the statement "User:Grover_cleveland is writing a book about George W. Bush" be an appropriate addition to the George W. Bush article?  No.  So why is "Dr Harris is writing a book about Skrowaczewski" an appropriate sentence for the Skrowaczewski article?  It seems more like an advertisement for Dr Harris than an attempt to add useful content to the article.  Grover cleveland 10:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Natural therapy

message: Natural health
** The health benefits of eating more fruits and vegetables has been documented by science over and over again.
*** In 1754, James Lind, a Scottish naval surgeon, conducted the first ever clinical trial, when he studied 12 sailors with scurvy to see if they could be healed by diet. Within six days, the fruits effectiveness was obvious.
Please discuss the health benefits of eating "more" fruits and vegetables, and explain how such a diet differs from that recommended by conventional medicine.
By the way, Lind's discovery proves that scurvy is caused by a deficiency of Vitamin C, doesn't it? Would you please mention whether artificial supplements (i.e., swallowing pills or eating fortified bread) produces the same results?
If so, please comment on the "model" of scurvy being cured by "medicine".
*cause: not enough vitamin C
*cure: eat something with vitamin C in it
Is there any common ground between conventional medicine's approach to scurvy and natural therapy's approach? --Uncle Ed 19:38, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Talk:Compromise of 1850

message: I have learned alot from thist article. But I wish the word 'postponed' would be changed. It makes the civil war seem inevitable, and implies that the alternative 'undivided house' was not a real possibility.

message: Is the information in the sentence 
"The intricate plan stalled almost immediately when a nervous family member forgot the address of the store where he was supposed to receive the next set of directions" 
linked to the information in the sentence 
"Loeb helped a couple reporter friends of his find the drug store he and Leopold had tried to send Jacob Franks to" 
? Was Jacob Franks the "nervous family member"? Was the store, where the next directions were to be received, a "drug store"? If so, it should be stated accordingly in the first sentence above, otherwise it's kind of obscure what drug store Loeb helped to find in the latter sentence.

Talk:Fort Parker massacre

message: I considered naming the article "Fort Parker" instead of "Fort Parker Massacre", but decided "Fort Parker Massacre" would be less ambiguous.

thread_title: Untitled

message: To use the term "Native Americans" in this context is improper.  Native Americans include Polynesians/Hawaiaans and Eskimo/Aleutians---- clearly making 'Native American too broad a definition to use in this description, and therefore problematic.
There is nothing racially insensitive to using the term American-Indian, and as a member of the Crow Indian tribe I can attest to the fact that we do in fact prefer being properly identified as American Indians.
First of all, sign your comments. Second, Polynesians are not considered Native American, nor do they consider themselves Native American. Third of all, the term is "Inuit-Aleut," not "Esk*mo." Fourth of all, based on your countless blatantly racist vandalizations of various pages on individuals, including those of Native Americans, (For examples of your racism: , , , , ) as well as homophobic, sexist, white-nationalist, and alt-right vandalisms, and the nonsensical repeat vandalism of converting the scientific standards of CE and BCE to the no-longer accepted and very inaccurate AD and BC.

thread_title:  "American Indians" is the proper nomenclature... please! 

message: Depending on the political correctness of an author relevent to early 19th century American history on the plains, one usually reads that when Whites attack Indian encampments, the action is termed a "massacre", coloring the event as if the Indians are solely women and children and/or are unarmed/underarmed. It is refreshing to note that in this one article, at least, Indian attacks undertaken for the sole purpose of slave taking and warrior killings and similar behavior are also described as massacres, and not whitewashed with the word "raids" or similar benign terms. 2600:387:F:4C32:0:0:0:3 (talk) 21:17, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

message: After some research and listening to the native pronunciation I added the IPA representation of the pronunciation of Theo's name in Dutch. However, (since I am not a native Dutch speaker), I have some doubts concerning the pronunciation of the last sound in Doesburg (/ɣ/ or /x/?) and the pronunciation of his given name (/'teɪɔ or /'teːɔ/?). It would be awesome if a native Dutch speaker could pitch in.  Koszmonaut (talk) 10:47, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Isn't this list practically the same as the "Listed national flag carriers" at Flag carrier?
I brought up this issue at Talk:Flag_carrier, but there seems to be little or no activity in that article. ironcito 22:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a bit difficult to discern what a "flag carrier” is in the 21st Century.  There appears to be a considerable amount of opinion suggesting that there is some sort of official designation that determines whether or not an airline is a “flag carrier.”  If that is the case, then what is the governing board that grants the authority to us the term?  Is there some international authority that selects which airline is to be called “flag carrier”? Too frequently the concept of “national airline” and “flag carrier” is merged in to “national flag carrier.” From the standpoint of the US government (see wording on the WikiPage for “Fly America Act”) any and all airlines registered in the United States are flag carriers of the United States. That means the United States has more than 300 flag carriers. If national airline suggests that the nation owns the company, i.e. the government of the nation possess a majority stake in the airline, then “national” airline is logical. However, common supposition is that the “national” airline is the airline containing the name of the nation – not necessarily the one owned by that nation’s government. This creates a dilemma in locations such as Australia; Qantas was long ago privatized so is it still the “national” airline or the “flag carrier”? There is now an airline in Australia called “Australian Airline” so is that not the   “national” airline or the “flag carrier” rather than the privatized Qantas?  I suggest that both terms are archaic and rendered meaningless in the 21st Century.202.79.62.12 05:34, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Articles with lists of cities in Serbia and list of Cities in Montenegro are dealing with the current situation in those countries which can change. I.e. some cities which did not exist in S&M can be established while some other can loose their status. Maybe the territory of those countries can change and include new cities or exclude some cities which belonged to the S&M while it existed.

Talk:Dairy Queen

message: The story of the founding of DQ as I grew up hearing it involved sites in Moline Illinois and in nearly  Green River/Colona, and an investor named Morey Nelson. 
Nelson was a friend/mentor of my uncle.  I often was with my cousin playing in their yard when Nelson pulled up in his old Buick; invariably,  he brought a sack of Dilly Bars for us kids.
The story I learned later was that Nelson, who was a stock broker, had been approached by the inventor of the soft serve machine,  and ultimately helped finance DQ.  A store in Moline was the first store of their joint venture,  and they set up a warehouse of sorts in Green River.

Its not from the ethnic Macedonia diaspora (Australia, Canada, US etc.), neither its from the ethnic minority in the neighbouring countries. Its not just an entertainment group, but a serious ethnologist and folklorist institution and an important part of the culture of the Republic of Macedonia. it definetly does not belong to the "Outside Republice of Macedonia" section, I dont understand why you insist on putting it there?? The fact that the group performed all around the world doesnt mean that they are from Australia or Congo.

replies: text:  a) Sorry about Tanec. Didn't know from the cursory reading I did of the page on it. I figured they belonged to outside because they seem to concentrate on spreading/encouraging appreciation of Macedonian culture, the "ambassador" line. And I meant links like "lyric" and "epic" song. Rather than just have "lyric" there, why not link to lyric poetry to explain the general themes and styles of lyric verse? And I have no idea who Mr. Trajanov is. If I accidentally deleted him, sorry. If not, I have no clue. I don't remember really affecting that section, but I may be wrong. Thanks for clearing up the info on Tanec.
