Talk:Rose Marie Reid

message: These pieces of information were included in the original wikipedia article; however, I have gone through the original sources and can't find any source that actually contains this information. Can anyone else find a source for this information? 
"She collaborated with a variety of businesses and fashion designers, including DuPont, and Emilio Pucci. Rose Marie licensed Pucci fabrics and used them in a series of swimsuits.
Reid introduced daring color combinations in her "Ribbons of Color" line which became one of Reid's most successful lines, greatly expanding the 1950s color palette. By the 1960s, styles were trending away from the highly structured fit of the 1950s in favor of more minimalist, less form-fitting designs, leading Reid to introduce her "Swimsuits by the Ounce" line of very lightweight swimsuits. This innovation was facilitated by the introduction of Lycra."

Category talk:Cable railways

message: It has been proposed that :Category:Cable railways should be merged with :Category:Funicular railways.
Reason: (not given)
* Oppose. :Category:Funicular railways should be a sub-category of :Category:Cable railways, since all funicular railways are cable-hauled (by definition?), but not all cable railways are funicular.  The cable car system in San Francisco, for example, is not a funicular.  Some of the entries in the current funicular category should be moved to :Category:Cable railways instead.<BR>--EdJogg 15:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Another wikipedia page, Valentina_(fashion designer) has more content.  These two articles should be combined (by someone who is more knowledgeable than I).  I think this article has the better title, so perhaps the other article should be merged here and redirected to here.
 
A new book by Kohle Yohannon Valentina: American Couture and the Cult of Celebrity has just been released on Valentina, concurrent with a museum exhibition opening at The Museum of the City of New York, also titled Valentina: American Couture and the Cult of Celebrity (this link is probably not permanent.)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I have produced rough translations of the quotations. The first quote turned out not to support the first sentence of the section (the quote is not about geodesics!), so I restructured the section accordingly. Geometry guy 15:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, indeed not.  Thanks for fixing it.  I had meant to return to this at one point, but started working on other (non-wikipedia) things.  I wanted to understand how Cartan thought about projective connections, since he thought of these connections as providing soldering data for projective coordinate systems at points connected by a curve.  This is not quite the modern idea of a frame (which is, in classical terms, an infinitesimal coordinate system).  At the time, I couldn't quite square the two conflicting notions of frame up with each other.  So I put the quotes down to indicate Cartan's (perhaps dated) point of view to prompt further work, and then vanished from Wikipedia (no, I'm not back yet).

Talk:Sidney Janis

message: The article presents good information about Sidney Janis, but I don't see any citations, particularly in the "Beginnings" and "Collecting" subsections of his "Biography."  There's a lot of information but no cited sources.  
The article also doesn't address a lot of his life and instead just focuses on his time as an art collector.  While that is what he is known for, as a biography page dedicated to Sidney Janis, there should be more information about his life aside from his time as an art collector.  Especially considering the section about his gallery, which is its own article, is longer and more extensive than information about him in particular.
Erick.bittenbender (talk) 23:54, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I see many citations? You are making the mistake of considering Janis and his gallery independent entities. While Sidney Janis was a collector, he is best known as a pioneering art dealer and champion of Modern and post war art.His activities and interests as a collector were manifested similarly in his role as a gallerist and dealer. That is they are intertwined and the original Sidney and Harriet Janis collection formed in the 1930s forecast the aesthetic of the Sidney Janis Gallery, an enterprise of the man himself.The article could certainly be expanded -indeed he rates a full length bniography - however, there are many key points in his life that are touched upon.

message: To whom it may concern,
The article in deliberation is little more than the anecdotal musings of a dubious hobbyist.
The entry lasts no more than a few sentences, and what little biographic data exists is backed by not an iota of credence, or for that matter, verifiable accessible citations in any form, minuscule or extensive.
It is for this purpose that is stands to reason, therefore, that the article in question ought to be purged, and struck from the record, retroactively, and in ex post facto fashion.
With my most steadfast regards,

message: Per WP:EL, there should be no reason to have external links, other than perhaps the official PS website, that are already cited as references in the article. Nor should the External links section be a repository for every article that has mentioned the label or one of its collections. Is there a compelling reason that, in this one particular circumstance, this article is so extraordinary to warrant inclusion of tens of external links? The fact that no one has pruned the External links sections of other designers' articles isn't a compelling reason; if that's true, it means the other articles need their external links pruned. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 20:41, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Marjorie Montgomery

message: I've just reverted it, because it was copied from IMDb but she supposedly died on 10th October 1991 in Longwood, Seminole County, Florida. If you input this into an Ancestry search, along with her birth details then the name Marjorie Kipness 27 May 1912 – 10 October 1991 (79) comes up in the death index. IF we can find an article, a book, or a site that gives that name, we can use this record. Until there's some kind of link found, she'll remain in the Possibly Living People category. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 11:34, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Note: Kipness was her married name. She was married to Lucian Kipness, a French born American man. Here is his WWII draft card. It gives his next of kin as "Mary Montgomery", his mother-in-law. So her birth surname was likely Montgomery (I did wonder if it was a stage name) and her married surname was Kipness. Still need to find another source to back this up though. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 11:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

text: Note #2: As per this she was going by the name of Marjorie Montgomery in 1930, however it says her father's surname was Cleveland, and her mother's maiden name was McCord! Complicates things further, though suggests that her mother remarried? Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 12:02, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Category talk:Executions by country

message: I apologize for bringing up again a topic that was just settled. I did not see (was not aware of) the CfD discussion, and thus did not comment. Still, this categorization scheme is not appropriate, as some of these people were not executed by any organized, centralised nation-state called "Japan". Even if we want to allow the inclusion of people executed as the result of violating shogunal law or Toyotomi Hideyoshi's edicts, there are examples of those killed simply by their military enemies. Hatano Hideharu, Oyamada Nobushige, Takeda Nobukado, and Torii Suneemon (along with countless others) were killed at the order of Oda Nobunaga, not for violating Japanese law, but simply for opposing Nobunaga in combat.
This is equally applicable to many other situations, I'm sure. In many countries across the world and throughout history, people have been captured and killed by their political or military enemies, and not by a state. I guess that begins to come down to one's definition of "execution"... LordAmeth 15:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
