Talk:Blonde Redhead

message: I was wondering (as a fan of BRH and Enon) if Maki Takahashi and Toko Yasuda (from the band Enon) are indeed the same person. This page and also this one seem to show that Takahashi/Yasuda are the same person. I ask because whenever I see anything on Yasuda, it always mentions her "of Blonde Redhead fame" or something along those lines, but none of the albums credit her at all.
*I also found this. "In 1995, she joined acclaimed New York City art-rock band Blonde Redhead, replacing her friend and original member Maki Takahashi on bass. But she didn’t stay long because, she says, 'It just wasn’t working out … It wasn’t comfortable for me to write songs so I was kind of frustrated.'"

message: Thanks for this article. I would like to point out, however, that while much time is spent on bassists who left the band, the article does not present what instrumental, songwriting, vocal or other duties are handled by each core member. For instance, which brother plays the drums. Basic details such as these would be a good improvement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.251.234.25 (talk) 01:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Šibenik tribe

message: This is in response to this edit and the edit summary of "so? does that mean we still need to retain Austrian imperialism even today?". If the German name does not apply here because the city is no longer under Austrian rule, then why leave the Italian name there - Šibenik is clearly not Italian or under Italian rule. I think either both the German and Italian names should stay, or both should be removed, unless there are very good reasons for having one and not the other. —KingIvan 10:38, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Ancient Greeks

message: I've been putting people in here who were part of the ancient Greek world, even if their particular ethnicity or native place is unclear; the alternative would be some kind of vague "ancient people", which seems unnecessarily finicky and doesn't correspond to how anybody else categorizes. Stan 14:59, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I have had very much the same problem when trying to categorize Roxana (which eventually gave up on doing, although :Category:Ancient Macedon might do). I tend to believe, however, that "ancient people" is unavoidable. As some people will surely point out, Xerxes was very much a part of the Greek world (inasmuch as he had dealings with it), and yet he does not fit comfortably into the "Ancient Greeks" category. Note also that many categories will fit neatly inside the theoretical "Ancient People" category, including Ancient Greeks. -- Itai 18:35, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Jewel (singer)

message: Hi. @Grammar crackers made some extensive edits, improving the article. Many of the subsequent references to the subject have been changed from "Jewel" to "Kilcher." We're now left with an article that seems to inconsistently use both. I think the article should be updated for consistent subsequent use of the artists name.
If we're going to be consistent throughout the article, which should it be?
I think, per MOS:SURNAME, we should be paying attention to this guideline:
     If they use their mononym or pseudonym exclusively, then use that name (e.g. Aaliyah, Selena, and Usher).
I think the subject uses her mononym exclusively, and so subsequent references should be "Jewel." Davidwbaker (talk) 15:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, and thanks for informing me and for the kind words. When I first began editing the article, about half of the references to the subject of the article were "Jewel", and the other half "Kilcher".

I saved on my PC pictures of the Venetian at-sign from a newspaper, they are taken from a book written in 1971 reproducing commercial documents from XII-XVI centuries. You think it would be a copyrigth violation to upload them in Wikipedia?
:I'm afraid it probably would: the newspaper may well have had express permission to use the images in its article, which we don't have. We could argue "fair use", but we're trying to cut down on the amount of use we make of that, since different rules apply in different countries.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fact and Reference Check/Example 2/

message: It is interesting to look at this short example article to see what should be checked. One can even to look at what appears to be checked, but which peculialy ends up with a "fact" different from what the source really says.  Thus a few observations about what could arise in an article.
#What facts are so obvious from empirical evidence that anybody can see it.  Is it not obious that a spider has eight legs and no wings?  Since having wings is the exception in the animal kingdom; does it even need to be mentioned?
#The article says that spiders produce "silk", but the reference says that they produce "silken threads".  That's not the same thing.  True silk comes from silkworms.  "Silken" suggests tha the substance is like silk.
#The fact that I would be most likely to question is that spider silk is made of protein, but there is no reference for that one at all. 
#Can general sources of basic facts about the item be cited once on a global basis?  That would leave specific notes more applicable for less well known facts.
#This is an example so repeatedly using Encarta as a source is just a matter of quick convenience.  There is no copyright problem with doing this.  Repeatedly mentining Encarta in the references for a single atticle would have the effect of advertising for the competition. :-)

I just expanded this article beyond stub status.  I can forsee a few things which should be done next, in addition to proofing the material I just put in:
* writing the Nambu-Goto action in terms of an induced metric
* reparametrization invariance
* quantizing the action (at least an outline of the procedure)
—Anville 18:47, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: I think the heading "Derivation" is inappropriate. In particular, the body of text which follow this heading has very little to do with either the derivation of the action from first principles or the derivation of the Nambu-Goto equations of motion. I propose that the heading either be changed to something more appropriate or that someone actually treats the derivation in full, preferably from the point of view of the induced metric on the world-sheet. 
I also think more could be done to mention appropriate limits of the variation and the boundary conditions imposed on the equations of motion. If I can find time I'll do this over the coming days.--St Cyrill 16:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
