Talk:Marion Keisker

message: As to whether Marion actually recorded Elvis on the recording session of My Happiness is disputed.  Sam Phillips, in Billy Poore's book, 'Rockabilly; a 40 year journey', expressed his displeasure that this version of events persists, claiming that due to the cost of recording materials and the expertise involved, it was he alone who first recorded the young Elvis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.162.132 (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  Vandalism on Issue in box 

message: What is this "Latinized" business?  Someone has been running around turning the conventional English spellings of ancient and medieval Greek names into the conventions used for modern Greek, such as changing "Comnenus" to "Komnenos". That's bad enough and messes up Wikipedia by making pre-modern Greek and Roman history look very alien for an English reader.  But it's all half-done, so you end up with bastardisations like this, when "Theodore" is translated if anything over-enthusiastically into the usual English convention, while the other two names are left looking like Klingon.  Oh, dear!  Deipnosophista (talk) 07:30, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Deipnosophista! This is actually the transliteration format used in the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium, and has been a de facto standard in Wikipedia for many years now for Byzantine names after a community discussion. AFAIK, there is no "conventional" spelling of Greek names in English, except in so far as earlier publications used to render Byzantine names in the latinized forms common for ancient names as well, due to the prevalence of Classical scholarship in the field. In more recent scholarship (certainly from the last third of the 20th century onwards), this is overwhelmingly not the case. I realize that you are probably more familiar with the Latinized forms, but I think you exaggerate a bit how much of an impact this "change" really has. First, most English readers probably haven't actually heard of that many Byzantine people, so that "Komnenos" and "Comnenus" makes no difference to them. Second, to claim that "Comnenus" is a more "natural" English form than "Komnenos" merely because it has been used earlier and longer, is IMO to elevate a convention to the status of undisputed truth; both forms are transliterations of a foreign name, in different ways, and functionally equally valid. I fail to see how "Theodore Comnenus Ducas" is less of a bastardization than "Theodore Komnenos Doukas", unless of course you prefer "Theodorus Comnenus Ducas", which is Latin, not English... It is a "bastardization" in the same way that "Nicholas Romanov" or "Alexander Karađorđević" are "bastardizations", following the "Anglicized first name + transliterated dynastic family name" pattern. Certainly the host of publications by English-language scholars using the ODB forms doesn't appear to indicate any problem with readability or comprehensibility of these forms by their readers. Long story short, both WP:COMMONNAME as evidenced in WP:RS, as well as de facto community consensus, support the present form. Constantine   ✍  09:01, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

message: There is a section in the Measurement While Drilling entitled Mud Pulse Telemetry.
While "pulse telemetry" could possibly be used in other applications,
I cannot think of another application for "Mud Pulse Telemetry" outside
of its use in drilling. Accordingly, I suggest merging this article
into the Mud Pulse Telemetry section
of the Measurement While Drilling article and redirecting the Mud pulse telemetry

Thus, I have marked this article with a merge suggestion.
Please discuss this suggestion on the Measurement While Drilling talk page.

Talk:Laonikos Chalkokondyles

message: * Kaldellis has written 3 articles published in Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies, which are available online; I have so far used only one of these.
* J. Darké wrote two articles on Chalkokondyles that are published in Byzantinische Zeitschrift. While I have copies of them I have not had the time to read either, although from Kaldellis I am aware the first contains Darké'a argument that C. wrote his Histories around 1490 (an argument Miller attributes to Vossius while disagreeing with it), & the second proposes identifying C. with a Orthodox priest from Cyprus of the later 15th C.
* According to Kaldellis, C.'s work influenced how both Greeks & non-Greeks saw the events of the 15th century; 30 manuscripts survive of his work. Doukas survives in a single manuscript; Sphrantzes' account is too fragmentary to provide enough details on its own, & was supplemented by the later additions of Makarios Melissenos, who is an unreliable source. Critoboulos' History was not known until the autograph was found in the Seralio library in the 19th century. 
* Need to better discuss the character of C.'s History, which is a very challenging read; Kaldellis' notes frequently mark one passage or another as obscure, & his chronology is confused, especially for events before C. was born. On the other hand, C.'s Herodotian digressions on foreign peoples & lands are considered entertaining & insightful -- & misunderstanding his comments on English women Gibbon famously took great offense at what C. wrote. -- llywrch (talk) 21:06, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

message: By a Wet Nurse, Theodore II Palaiologos had at least one illegitimate and protect son:
    Thomas Emanuele Pietro Palaiologos, migrated with his sister Helena Palaiologina to Cyprus.
****************************************************
I am a Byzantinist who specializes in Theodore II Palaiologos, his wife, and rule.  I know of no primary source that mentions such a child, nor would at least one of those names be used.  I suspect this comes from a Sicilian genealogical list that I have seen cropping up here and there, that gives a lot of Sicilians Byzantine imperial ancestors to which they are not entitled.

In this retinue was Thomas, the son of Elena's wet-nurse whom Eleni loved as a brother. 
.. Page 107: The son of Paleologina's wet-nurse, Thomas, had now reached the high position of Chamberlain of the State in Cyprus, He was hated by everyone, as he had the absolute support of Queen Eleni. He was arrogant and cruel, because he knew that the Queen was protecting him.

message: This is a very basic concept in neuroscience, so the lead ought to start by explaining it in simple functional terms, e.g., an EPSP is a rise in membrane potential produced by a synapse, which increases the probability that the postsynaptic cell will fire an action potential in the near future. That is, something that a reader with only a rudimentary understanding of synapses and neuro-electricity can make sense of. Looie496 (talk) 17:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

text: It's true that it's a decrease in potential, that is: the difference in charges over the membrane but it is also an increase in the voltage since, viewing it from the inside of the cell, the potential goes from a negative value (eg -70mV) to a less negative value (eg -10) to a positive value (if threshold is reached).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tamte (talk • contribs) 11:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
