Talk:USA Roller Sports

message: Im Chance Moyer and i have speed skate for over 3 years my rank in speed skating is freshmen. What i think about speed skating is that its a fun sport and should no be used for betting or gambling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrmoyer (talk • contribs) 11:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Fun sport

message: There is significant tension between USARS and WFTDA when it comes to roller derby: USARS claims some level of "jurisdiction" over roller sports and has Olympic aspirations for their flavor of roller derby, while WFTDA focuses on being a democratic organization made up of member leagues that focus specifically on roller derby. These tensions have existed for several years between the organizations with occasional flare-ups, and should be considered as notable as anything in roller derby. cmh (talk) 08:49, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  merge with Digitally Controlled Oscillator? 

message: The article lacks a proper theoretical and mathematical basis.  There is no reference to the importance of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem to the operation of a DDS.  The comment: "In order to generate a reasonable representation of the waveform, at least a minimum number of samples must be taken from it" is imprecise and potentially misleading (the 'minimum number' might be two).  There is no mention of the importance of a Reconstruction filter after the DAC nor of the consequences in respect of Aliasing if it is inadequate or omitted altogether.

thread_title:  Lacking in theoretical basis 

message: Hi there. This could completely be a technical term (jargon) that I don't get, but this seems to me like there's a word missing:
Disadvantages include spurious due mainly to truncation effects in the NCO, crossing spurious resulting from high order (>1) Nyquist images, and a higher noise floor at large frequency offsets due mainly to the Digital-to-analog converter.[6]
Spurious what? I believe this should be spurious products but am not learned enough on the subject.

Talk:Himno de Riego

message: Yes, there were a few red faces at the Davis Cup final, but
Because of its Republican origin, it is an offence to play this anthem nowadays
is a bit over the top, IMHO: I doubt there are any tunes it is an offence to play in the current climate of opinion in Spain (even the old fascist anthem Cara al Sol is permitted even if not enthusiastically welcomed by large sections of society).

thread_title: Davis cup

message: I started off by tabulating the lyrics to make them easier to compare between languages. Then, one thing lead to another and I found myself getting stuck into the Apocryphal intro. This then lead to the thought that Apocryphal is a bit of a misnomer as what it actually means is "spurious, fictitious, false; fabulous, mythical", which doesn't really seem to be the case here as the alternative words are widely distributed. It seemed easier to sidestep this by calling them the "satirical" version (though a better word could probably be found). Anyway, if people are unhappy with the "apocryphal" changes, I'll gladly put the copy back to the way it was (but with links).

Talk:Pedro de Arbués

message: Pedro de Arbues was not cannonized until the nineteenth century, although he was murdered in 1485 by a group of wealthy and influential New Christians guilty of Judaizing. They hired a professional assassin by the name of Victor Durango to do the job. Pedro was saying prayers in front of the main altar of the La Seo, the cathedral in Saragossa, when he was stabbed in the back multiple times and left to die.
"He was very quickly made a saint by popular acclaim" Pedro de Arbués died in 1485 and was made a saint in 1867...
A title like Flesh Inferno: Atrocities of Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition doesn't look like the most balanced book to look for information...
: Neither does the Catholic Encyclopedia. Using it to state that "not a single sentence of death can be traced to him" is naive to say the least. The church never directly ordered inquisition executions, the sentences were left to the secular states so the church could keep its hands clean. --CrisDias 17:08, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date of death 

message: Is there a reason why Pedro de Arbues was beatified and canonized by the Catholic church? Kind of controversial as this saint was an inquisitor, who were against of "heretics" (crypto-jews and muslims). Kind of like the Saint James Matamoros, who is a mythical saint that quote-unquote "fought" in the mythical Battle of Clavijo that slayed moorish armies.

Talk:Palmyra (disambiguation)

message: Apart perhaps from Palmyra, New York all the other places called Palmyra are far less important than the Palmyra, Syria, which is currently a redirect to Tadmor. This does seem a bit daft. I think the naming convention is that a place is known by its best known name in English, and therefore Tadmor (the modern name) should redirect to the historical name. Also, I suggest that Palmyra be about Palmyra, Syria, and that the current list of mostly US towns be moved to Palmyra (disambiguation). Any thoughts? Gareth Hughes 20:48, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Palmyra (Syria) should redirect here (that article is a mess anyways, and contains nothing not in here). Tadmor already does. We can stress the history and naming a bit more in this articles introduction.--Stephan Schulz 11:50, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  TfD nomination of [[:Template:{{ucfirst:Abuse}}]]

message: "feelings of intimidation" should be removed as that would fall under the definition of "emotional abuse" or "psychological abuse". The word "intimidation" does not correspond to any physical pressure-point, it is a mental pressure-point and therefore the modified text: "Contact intended to cause feelings of physical pain" would be a better suited definition in the realm of the physical as opposed to mental and would correspond to the word "physical" in the title "Physical Abuse".

message: Stop throwing everything you've seen on TV-shows in this article! Physical abuse is NOT the same as assault, sexual abuse, murder or battery.

thread_title:  Be reasonable 

message: The definition of physical abuse used in the article was a bit overly broad. The old definition used in the opening sentence of the intro defined physical abuse: "any intentional act causing injury or trauma to another person by way of bodily contact." which was  way to broad. Such a definition would or could  encompass a number of congenital violent acts that would either not normally be defined as physical abuse or where much debate exists as to whether the term applies. Some examples of this include S&M, professional boxing, bare-knuckle boxing, American football, and professional martial arts competitions, As such, I tried ti improve the intro as best i could to more narrower and to mention current areas of debate. We really should include more in the body of the article on the debate over practices like S&M, contact sports, and corporal punishment,, and to what degree if any these constitute a form off physical abuse. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 02:31, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Queen Camilla is fine. The late Queen did not bestow the title Queen Consort upon Camilla before she died. The wife of a king is a queen consort regardless of the previous monarch's wishes. In accordance with British Common Law, Camilla receives the same rank, title and style of her husband the king, therefore she is a Queen by rank, title and style. However, there has been a break from tradition for reasons unknown, and only time will tell whether we continue to adopt the use of the word consort in her title. Though, in the interim, it is fine to refer to the Queen consort as "Queen [Name]". 81.140.89.191 (talk) 12:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:HMS Monmouth

message: "Seven ships of the Royal Navy have been named HMS Monmouth, after the Welsh town; the name also recognises James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, the "Black Duke", in whose honour the current ship flies a black flag from the mainmast."
I added the second line as the current ship does fly the flag, is nicknamed the "Black Duke", &c... 
Do we know for sure the ship was originally named for the town? In 1666/7 the Duke was still loyal, and as he rebelled in 1685 there would be a good eighty years before they gave another ship of the same name, by which time he was admired again as a Good Loyal Protestant. The RN page is pretty vague about what the ship is named for, but she is classed as a "Duke class" frigate and clearly is considered to have a connection to the Duke as well as Monmouth itself.

* What's "a county resp."--Wetman 07:26, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: This section needs looking into: "When the main lineage of the House of Oldenburg died out in 1667 with Anthony Günther, Count of Oldenburg, it fell to the Frederick III of Denmark of the line of the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp, who married Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna of Russia, daughter of Peter the Great. Another, his first cousin, Frederick August I, became Duke of Oldenburg in 1774." Friedrich August I of Holstein-Oldenburg was born in 1711, yet he is described as the first cousin of Frederick III of Denmark, who died in 1670.

I made a modification which, I hope, will be satisfying (if such a problem can ever be solved, considering modern Belgian sensibilities). Tinctoris also appears as sole name in the Category "Flemish music theorists", which I think should be changed to "Belgian music theorists" and should include other people (e.g. Fétis).
