Talk:Carrickmacross lace

message: As a lacemaker I maintain that the following statement is incorrect:
"The appliques on the wedding dress of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge were worked in the method of Carrickmacross lace."
As is documented at http://www.jeanleader.co.uk/articles/weddinglace.html, the appliques were machine-made lace, produced in France. There is no way that machine lace can be said to be worked in the method of any sort of hand-made lace. The only things the two have in common are:
1. That lace (in the case of the dress) or fabric (in the case of Carrickmacross lace) is attached to machine-made net. 
2. That scissors are used: to cut out motifs from the machine made lace (in the case of the dress) and to cut away excess fabric (in the case of Carrickmacross lace).
See http://www.jeanleader.co.uk/collection/carrickmacross.html for a  more detailed explanation of Carrickmacross lace, with illustrations.
I therefore think that the paragraph containing this should be removed but welcome discussion of this before I proceed.

Talk:War of the Eight Princes

message: This series of events are known as “八王之乱”, which literally means "War/Disorder/Clash of Eight Kings". The article uses Princes instead of Kings to translate "王". Prince means the son of Kings/emperors. Not all of these actors are sons of kings/emperors. Instead, they all held the title King and had their own land and army. __aichi Lee 19:04, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: A prince is a ... or a male member of a monarch's or former monarch's family. Prince is also a title of nobility (often highest), often hereditary, in some European states.
Therefore, the term Disorder of the eight Princes (not kings) would be more appropriate.

Talk:Levelland, Texas

message: I have removed the claim that the USAF said ball lightning was the cause of the odd reports at Levelland.  It makes good reading for UFO conspiracists - but it isn't true. The USAF's
Air Technical Intelligence Center said conditions at Levelland at the time were consistent with those associated with ball lighting (storms often are) and that what one witness described was ball lightning. But,  ATIC concluded:  “It is the opinion of ATIC that ball lightning may have contributed to the overall circumstances of the Levelland sighting, but was not a major factor.  It is concluded that the major cause for the Levelland case was a severe electrical storm". That's from The Levelland Sightings Of 1957 by Antonio F. Rullán: Air Force/Blue Book Investigation and Explanation.  , (which is a reference link given at the bottom of the article). It is unethical for Wikipedia to attribute a false claim to the USAF followed by a Hynek quote which is presented as a rebuttal of the claim the USAF never made. Wikipedia demands more principled standards than that. I have also trimmed some of the stuff because the article is about the town, not the ufo incident.Moriori 00:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sleep Dirt

message: Need to have verification of exactly what tapes FZ delivered to Warner Bros in 1976.  His contract called for him to deliver 4 albums.  He has claimed that what he actually delivered were Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, Orchestral Favorites and Zappa in New York (2 LP's) for a total of 5 discs worth of material.  There is no proof that FZ ever offered Lather to Warner.  And besides that was only 1 album of 4 discs.  Lather would not have fulfilled the contractual requirements.  Thought both sets have unique material he actually created 4 discs out of 5, not the other way around.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.225.244.228 (talk) 03:24, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wrong, big time.  Zappa himself has confirmed he delivered Låther (pronounced leather) in interviews many times.  One detailed account appeared in a 1978 issue of Record Review.  He also went on the air (radio) and played the entire Låther album 'for free' because he was upset with WB.  To allow those whose tapes had run out while taping, he and the radio host re-broadcast the entire thing a couple of weeks later.  NOTE:  FZ delivered the Låther album; it was Warners that issued the tracks as Zappa in New York (which FZ had no objections about the title for this one), Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt and Orchestral Favorites (all of these FZ strongly objected to their titles - Frank: "If you saw an album with the title 'Sleep Dirt' on it, you probably wouldn't want to buy it.")HammerFilmFan (talk) 15:35, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

text: Anon, you are wrong. It was an 8-sided album, then four individual albums. Zappa tried to get out of his contract because they wouldn't release Leather. WTF (talk) 05:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

text: No, it was a box-set (with artwork) entitled Låther - WB assembled the tapes (which Zappa had to turn over to them via a legal order) into the various albums, and some genius at the record company gave them the individual titles. Btw, as far as dates and so on, many tracks (incomplete or totally redone later) date from much earlier on these records - Studio Tan's  'Gregory Peccary'  was written after Zappa was pushed off the stage in London in 1971 while recup'ing in a wheelchair.

Category talk:Figure skating coaches by nationality

message: I don't think it really makes much sense to categorize skating coaches by nationality.  In the first place, there aren't a whole lot of them who are famous enough to warrant entries in Wikipedia, so breaking them down by country doesn't seem necessary.  A bigger problem, though, is that skating is such an international sport that it is hard to decide what nationality some coaches really belong to.  For example, Carlo Fassi represented Italy during his competitive days, but he became famous as a coach while living in the United States, and two of his best-known students (John Curry and Robin Cousins) were British.  Similarly, Tamara Tarasova was originally Russian, but she's lived in the US for years now and her recent students have included Canadian, Israeli, Italian, French, and Japanese elite competitors.

Talk:Dog and pony show

message: While in the US NAVY it was frequently the term we used to describe the inpromptu tours and demos of aircraft systems during airshow static displays, VIP tours, and informal visits by seniors in our chain of command.  I believe the practice continues to this day and probably crosses to other services as well.  
The big issue here is finding a suitable reference citation to support what I know to be true.  Why waste my time when some wiki-big brother who doesn't care a hoot about accuracy of the article wants to make a name for himself as the enforcer of wiki rules.

Talk:Punto in Aria

message: I am working on the assumption that Punto in Aria is an Italian name.
Punto is one of those words that can mean a lot of different things depending on context: you can score a punto in some games; when telling the time it means o'clock; and in needlework it is commonly translated as stitch.
Aria means air or tune again depending on context.
#Point in Air – a literal and direct translation.
#Stitch in Air – in context of lace-making maybe a more useful translation.
#Stitches in Air – this would be Punti in Aria which raises the question of whether the point in question is in fact the needle not the stitch, (although that would be the feminine form Punta)
