You cite WP:NMUSIC which is a notability guideline which covers article creation and deletion, and the mentions being "trivial" a term I have only heard in the context of notibility guidelines. I am not creating a page for Gloryhammer - they already have a Wikipedia page. You also state that the sources are of dubious reliability. How reliable do the sources need to be to add that a metal band mentioned a small Scottish town? This isn't exactly high politics. Why does, for example, El Correo not meet it? ~ El D.

Talk:Battle of Vevi (1941)

message: Overall, I think this article does a good job of summarizing what happened at Vevi. It is readable and easy to understand, and informative. However, there are some flaws:
German forces invaded Greece through Bulgaria and Yugoslavia in the first week of April 1941. It was intended that British Commonwealth forces would hold the Germans in northern Greece, until Greek forces had returned from Yugoslavia and Albania, and a new defensive line between Mount Olympus and the Aliakmon River had been prepared of a .
The opening paragraph does not finish what it was going to say. "Aliakmon River had been prepared of a." Of a what?
The Allies decided to delay the German advance in the rugged terrain south of Vevi, including the heights of the Klidi (or Klidhi) Pass, a short distance from the town, where the Monastir Valley narrows to between 100 and 500 metres and follows "...a winding course through a defile flanked by steep rock-strewn hills with few trees."
Who is quoted as saying this and why are his words important?
The following line does not sound very encyclopedic. Maybe think of a better phrase that "last straw." The arrival of German tanks at 5.30 pm was the last straw for the Allies.
The final sentence in the article maybe should be merged in with the final paragraph. 
Overall however, this is an informative article and some of the material here can be added to the Battle of Greece article. These are my comments. Hope they help. Periklis* 19:58, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Just to double check, was this a purely Canadian operation? None of the formations taking part British at all?--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 12:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Double checking 

message: When Operation Overlord was planned, the Normandy capital of Caen became a major objective for allied forces,[3] initially assigned to be captured on D-Day itself. British forces at Sword Beach, however, were unable to move far enough inland to capture the city. As a result, positional warfare along the Anglo-Canadian front ensued for the remainder of June 1944. Several attempts to take Caen, such as Operation Charnwood, ended in failure. On June 19th, 1944, the British launched Operation Goodwood, which managed to take Caen and reach the foot of Verriéres Ridge
Ok first off, if my understanding is correct positional warfare means essentially set piece attacks agaisnt fortified lines etc, if that is the case following June 7th the front did not settle down into this.  Operation Perch, designed as a pincer attack on Caen, was launched.
Operation Goodwood did not capture Caen, Operation Charnwood which this article states ended in failure captured half of the city.  Atlantic if am not mistaken, launched alongside Goodwood, captured the remaining portion.--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:05, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Chechen rebels beheaded a number of Russian POWs. The POW beheaded in famous "chechenclear" video is not Yevgeny Rodionov. Fisenko 03:43, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Chechclear has nothing to do with this person.  The victim in that video is yet to be identified (by someone with internet access, at least).  Besides the fact that you can tell just by looking at their faces that he isn't Yevgeny Rodionov there's literally zero verifiable information stating otherwise.  Every time a Russian soldier is said to have been beheaded in Chechnya in 1996 or 1999 gore forum members immediately assume that the chechclear victim must be that guy.  Beheading videos are ten a penny in this conflict. PCLM (talk) 15:15, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Once again I've removed all references to "chechclear" from this article.  The man murdered in that video is NOT Rodionov.  The only evidence suggesting that it is is the fact that Rodionov was a Russian soldier beheaded in Chechnya in 1996.  Firstly, Rodionov's execution was not filmed.  Secondly, the man in the video is obviously not Rodionov.  Thirdly, the true identity of the man in the video (as well as his killer) is as yet unknown, although there are plenty of people on the net who'll claim otherwise without any evidence.

message: Full disclosure: Carl (with a C, not a K, it's spelled with a C on all his books) was my grandfather. 9/10ths of the article is sourced from one interview and Carl was a notorious liar. There is an anecdote about Martin Johnson that I heard him tell with other people as the subject. Once, in a talk at the Explorer's Club in 1980, he told a version that had him being the one talked out of getting on the plane and the plane in question being Glenn Miller's which disappeared over the English Channel. The claim that he was a descendant of Melchior Hoffman, is sourced to an obituary of my father, Nicholas von Hoffman, who also had a penchant for lying. This is a claim that no one in the family had ever heard until the last year's of my father's life. Also, there is a photograph attached to this article entitled, "Western military attachés and war correspondents with the Japanese forces after the Battle of Shaho (1904)." The caption claims Carl is in it. However, he fought with the Russian Army during the war. Also, Carl was born in either 1899 or 1890 and would have been 14-15 years old in 1904 and there is no one of that age in the picture. Curseyoukhan (talk) 02:43, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

"Since music may facilitate social cohesion, improve group effort, reduce conflict, facilitate perceptual and motor skill development, and improve trans-generational communication,[12] music-like behavior may at some stage have become incorporated into human culture."
Also it doesn't really seem to answer the question. Its circular. Humans developed a capacity for music because humans found that it was helpful to other humans after we developed a capacity? There is no origin in that hypothesis. The fundamental question is why the human brain developed a capacity for music and why the brain finds stimulation in it.
