Talk:Dave Calhoun

message: The former vice chairman of General Electric, and co-author of the book How Companies Win, became CEO of Nielsen in 2006. And he seems to have thrived as the company (whose often maligned TV ratings determine what shows survive, and how much advertisers will pay for them) prepared to go public -- which happened in January 2011. His pay jumped 125% in 2010 to $14.2 million ($1.6 million in salary, $8 million bonus, $1.2 million in options, $3.4 million in cash incentives, and about $16,000 in other compensation.) His pay is 6.3 times higher than the average for Nielsen's four other top executives.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.246.237 (talk) 00:48, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

He was part of the newscast team with anchors Gordon Peterson and Max Robinson, with Warner Wolf and his "Boo of the Week" on sports.  Robinson and Wolf went on to national network assignments.  Davey Marlin Jones' film reviews were always entertaining.  I can still remember his 1971 review of the rat movie "Willard" with Ernest Borgnine (Willard (1971 film)).  It was hysterical.Tom Cod 04:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Retention factor

message: Both names - retention factor and retardation factor - are acceptable, but this may cause some confusion as retardation/retention factor are used in paper/thin layer chromatography while what is known as a retention time is used in high performance liquid chromatography,gas-liquid chromatography, etc. I think it would probably better to have the retardation/retention factor under one name only. Hence, I have integrated some of the information from this article to new page - Retardation factor.
This article should probably be deleted and a page be created for retention time. Any ideas?

Talk:Doda of Reims

message: It appears that Doda (Dode, Dhouda) is a name not entirely uncommon among the Franks and their neighbors, and it seems that the wife of Ferreolus of Rodez and the Abbess of Reims may be two separate people. Following the rationale of the article in the French Wikipedia, the Abbess would hardly have been born, when Ferreolus married in 540. On the other hand had she been a daughter of Sigobert the Lame born before his death around 508, she would have been around 100 years old when she obtained a decree from Pepin re protection of her abbey. (Her putative father Chlodoric the Parricide apparently didn't outlive his father by very much.)
Hagiography re Saint Dode mentions her having been brought up by her aunt Beauve, and succeeding her as abbess, but does not mention either marriage or children. However, by the same token, the article on Sigobert the Lame discusses his murder, but does not mention if Balderic, Abbot of Montfaucon and Beuve were his children. I have removed mention of a marriage to Ferreolus, pending clarification beyond what is provided in the French Wiki article (which also doesn't mention marriage or offspring.)

Talk:Brian Oswald Donn-Byrne

message: -----
James Branch Cabell discusses Messer Marco Polo in his Straws and Prayer-Books (1922, revised edition 1928); I'm not sure how much of that discussion it's relevant to quote in this article...  Cabell wrote a review of the novel which was widely reprinted (Cabell himself was near the peak of his popularity at the time, a year or two after the Jurgen case) and apparently contributed largely to Byrne's popularity. --Jim Henry (talk) 19:11, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

message: One of the author's last books was The Power of the Dog, which was also published as Field of Honor, but I came here trying to find out who the dog was. I haven't quite finished the book, and yet neither title seems to make any sense so far. On page 260 it mentions "Prussian dogs", but in a trivial way. Actually a lot of the book is about "honor", but no particular field seems to apply, and none of the actual canine dogs could be said to have power, so I'm guessing that it must refer to some man. Perhaps Castlereagh? But he's only part of the background? Or Napoleon as a French dog? But he's been defeated and rendered powerless? Shanen (talk) 11:37, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Having finished it (and been distracted for a while), my current theory is that "the dog" might be some kind of reference to the British bulldog. The "honor" must have related to proper behavior, though from among the possible fields mentioned in the book, I'm unable to guess which might have been the author's intention.

Talk:Piano Sonata No. 1 (Rachmaninoff)

message: I am an amateur classical pianist, 51 years old.  I have a particular love for Rachmaninoff's Piano Sonata #1.  I am no music critic and cannot adequately describe what this music means to me.  If I could play it for you the music would do all the talking.  The Sonata is elemental, awesome in scope, explosive in its climaxes, and, in places, hauntingly beautiful, like a desert landscape at sunrise on some distant world. 
If Rachmaninoff had never written any other works this one work alone would be sufficient to make him my favorite composer.  But, like many works that critics do not fully appreciate, there's a feeling of power and connection I get when I play this, that I don't get when I listen to my recording of the work by the fine pianist Santiago Rodriguez.  Mr. Rodriguez understands the work - I wonder if he loves it as I do.   I suspect that only a person who can perform this work would fully appreciate it how it makes the piano resonate.   Anyway, if you are a classical pianist, and you are still searching for your life's work, give this one a try.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.172.69.22 (talk) 01:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks IP, some say that good music is the closest thing on Earth to God. If you're still around wiki consider making a recording for the page? ALTON .ıl 00:59, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

message: This article seems to present the opinion of various people as if it's definitive. Argumentum ad populum is a fallacy and Rachmaninov is the best example of a composer whose work was unfairly derided by critics, whether they were friends or not. Another thing I'm wondering about is whether or not there are any manuscripts that have prior versions (prior to the massive cuts). Some, such as myself, greatly prefer earlier versions of certain Rachmaninov pieces, such as the second sonata and fourth concerto. It would be a massive boon to the classical music world to find earlier versions of this sonata, particularly one that is 45 minutes in length. This article talks about the cutting process like three different times but no mention is made of the very mixed opinions about the cuts he made to other works, due to input and pressure from critics. I happen to, for instance, be among those who think the revised second sonata was butchered. The original was perfectly fine, regardless of what Horowitz thought. If you're going to have this article focus so much on the cuts made then it probably would be a good idea to include content about how critics often unjustly appraised his work, especially the "it's too long" whining — and how those cuts affected other pieces. It seems to be almost unanimous, too, that his cuts to the 3rd concerto in his only recorded performance were for the worse.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.194.145 (talk) 00:51, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Most people who visit the article will not visit the museum, and it will be much more useful to them to see multiple images that convey the diversity of sculptures at the museum, rather than just a single image. To the typical article reader, it will be essentially inconsequential that the sculpture is no longer there. That said, I can see why you would feel as you do given your position in the institution. I think you just need to think more broadly about the image's utility in the encyclopedia.  de Bivort 01:07, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

message: - this 2008 GA appears on Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Sweeps 2023 which is a process of going through some of the "higher-risk" older GAs to see if they still meet the criteria. I'm concerned that this no longer meets the modern GA standards, since aside from the two sentences sourced to Welch's blog, the article is sourced entirely to court cases and the legal code itself. This is less problematic for some areas of the article, but especially the impact section I think should really have some material from secondary legal sources, besides just the two sentences sourced to Welch. Additionally, the article implies that this topic is likely to become more obsolete as internet commerce grows - has this happened in the 15 years since this was promoted?
