Talk:Francis Johnson (composer)

message: I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles.  This article was raised to B by a bot, because the Biography project rating was B.  I find this rating is not deserved -- the article is missing some things expected of biographies, and other things expected of composer biographies.  My full review is on the comments page; questions and comments should be left here or on my talk page. Magic♪piano 13:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Composer project review

message: I own a CD called "The Music of Francis Johnson" (Music Masters Jazz, 1994).  It includes compositions purported to be Johnson's as well as those of some of his contemporaries.  Most of the music could be described as band music, performed on the instruments of the era.  Therefore I was surprised to see in the article the claim that none of his music survives except piano scores.  Can anyone provide any illumination?Carlaclaws (talk) 16:36, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Pedestal desk

message: "The smaller pedestal desks with such a panel are sometimes called kneehole desks, and were usually placed against a wall."
Is that logical?
Might "with" be a literal error for "without"?
No, a kneehole desk always had a panel.  It often had a small cabinet in that space also, leaving only space for one knee, instead of both legs. You sat at the desk a bit sideways, with one of your knees under it in the "kneehole". This was convenient for persons wearing swords, which got caught or entangled (because of the scabbard and the scabbard attachments) on the pedestals or the pedestal drawers on a normal pedestal desk.  Take a look at the Bureau Mazarin illustration, where you can see the keyhole to the door of the cabinet, at the end of the kneehole.  In the 17th century, if you could afford a desk and if you were a man you probably also wore a sword in a scabbard all day (even though that sword might be purely ceremonial) as a badge of your membership in the nobility. Is this clear?  Does this seem more logical?  --AlainV 19:18, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pure state??? 

message: I'd like to add a reference to a recent arXiv paper relevant to this article. It is a short pedagogical lecture aimed at students of quantum mechanics which explains the modern viewpoint on decoherence and its relation to the measurement problem.
Perhaps a more experienced editor (like @StarryGrandma) can suggest a place to add it to the article, with a description similar to the above or to the abstract below.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.02391
Title: Decoherence and Quantum Measurement: The Missing Lecture
Abstract: We give an elementary account of quantum measurement and related topics from the modern perspective of decoherence. The discussion should be comprehensible to students who have completed a basic course in quantum mechanics with exposure to concepts such as Hilbert space, density matrices, and von Neumann projection (``wavefunction collapse).

message: The first sentence says:
* Quantum decoherence is the loss of quantum coherence, the process in which a system's behaviour changes from that which can be explained by quantum mechanics to that which can be explained by classical mechanics.
The sentence makes no sense: does "the process" refer to coherence or decoherence?  We can infer the latter, but then the sentence would be disputed. See

replies: text: That's fine.  The idea is that the reader should be able to tell the main article is elsewhere.

message: Well Steinsky has moved his "own" article to Lillington, Dorset, so I've removed the request move notice from here.
I don't think that Lillington, Warwickshire warrants its own article for that mere one paragraph's worth of information.  But then I don't think that Lillington, Dorset warrants its own article for the even smaller amount of information that it currently has, either. — 81.138.100.115 20:19, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: This page has only one editor, Steinsky, who reverts attempts to list any other Lillingtons here, even though the links to them from other articles point here.  Given that Steinsky comes from Dorset himself, were we not assuming good faith we might conclude that this page is a mere vanity page for his home village, population: 82 people.  Assuming good faith, however, I suggest that this (one sentence) page be renamed to follow the example of Cambridge, Gloucestershire.
Although, given the lack of primacy of any of them (in contrast to the cases for Ipswich and Cambridge) and given the lack of notability too (The Warwickshire Lillington is much larger than the Dorset Lillington, is a village and not a hamlet, and probably has a little more to be said about it than just its population and proximity to other places; but even so it barely warrants more than a paragraph.), my first preference is actually for all "Lillington"s (the UK places, the London gardens by that name, and the various persons) to be sections on a single Lillington page, just as all of the various "vanity"s can be found at Vanity.  But Steinsky has actively resisted taking any steps along that route. Letting him retain his "own" Lillington page, discussing the hamlet in Dorset and nothing else, as he clearly wants, is an alternative.  -- 62.255.32.10 17:10, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The Nazis didn't put any investment into the program because they didn't think it could make a weapon in time for use in the war, so Heisenberg and his pals ended up just working to make a reactor (my read of it, aspects are disputed by scholars).

Category talk:Airports in the United Kingdom

message: It seems to me that splitting up UK airports between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is un-necessarily cumbersome. That are not that many airports in the UK that we need to do this for category size limitation reasons, and I can see no other good reason for the split.
The current sub-category for 'London Airports' is just plain wrong, as London is part of England. So the sub-category should be at that level, but this would then mean taking the London airports out of the Airports in England category, in order to avoid breaking Wikipedia's 'not in inherited categories' rule.
All this seems way overkill for two or three dozen airports. I propose (unless I get objections here) to move everything into 'Airports of the United Kingdom' and list all the sub-categories for deletion. -- Chris j wood 17:13, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
