Talk:Will Richardson (educator)

message: I can add more sources if necessary.  Will is certainly the preeminent advocate of blogging in education in the United States and has heavily influenced the edublog community over the last five years.  I believe his contribution is enduring and he belongs in Wikipedia.  I do not have any affiliation with him or his organization. Victoria A. Davis 18:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Having read Mr Richardson's book and also read many of his contributions towards education online, I can also vouch that this article should stay up.  His views on using Web 2.0 applications in the classroom have been read and adopted by many teachers across the US and abroad.  --Renrenren 02:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Zaz

message: Hi.  Well, I'm from the United Kingdom and my nickname used to be Zaz when I was growing up.  I am very pleased to read that it is used as a nickname in some parts of the United States.  I used to think I was the only person with the nickname, so it's great to see that there are other Zazzes out there.  BTW, it's a fantastic nickname. I wanted to use it as my User ID, but I see someone else has beaten me to it.  81.157.70.101 18:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nickname 

message: This article appears to be a partial duplication of ZAZ, so I have proposed that its content be merged with that article.
Also, at one time, this page contained information about a village in Turkey, which has now been moved to İzbırak, Mardin (its official name).  But if Zaz is a well known alternative name for this village (as the article appears to suggest), then surely a redirect ought to exist from here to the İzbırak page, while any information about the car should be exclusive to ZAZ.  81.152.144.86 14:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Saddened by his unnecessary death, she wrestles with her guilt over what she could have done to prevent it."--I'm not sure about this bit.

replies: text:  "The Irish accent was important because the treatment of the song is very traditional, and the Irish would always use their songs to tell stories, it's the traditional way. There's something about an Irish accent that's very vulnerable, very poetic, and so by singing it in an Irish accent it comes across in a different way. But the song was meant to cover areas like Germany, especially with the kids that get killed in manoeuvres, not even in action. It doesn't get brought out much, but it happens a lot. I'm not slagging off the Army, it's just so sad that there are kids who have no O-levels and nothing to do but become soldiers, and it's not really what they want. That's what frightens me.

Talk:Louisville Division of Fire

message: LF&R is changing their ranking structure; they are going to fire department-specific titles and insignia (battalion chief, assistant chief, crossed bugles and sleeve lace, etc.) as opposed to military titles--except for operators, whom will still be called "sergeant", at least for now-- although they are going to continue using military-style insignia with uniforms in concert with bugles, sort of like FDNY. The fire chief is already going by "chief" instead of "colonel", per the website. Also, I think TeleSqurt 21 and Engine 20 traded places (Engine 21 and TeleSqurt 20) although I'm waiting to see it reflected on the department website before I change it, I've heard it on scanner traffic and I believe they're going to a set-up where they have 2 trucks and a telesqurt or squrt in each battalion. At any rate, I'll change that (assuming noone beats me to it :)) as soon as they update the website. RGFI (talk) 02:09, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The introduction confuses me and seems to contradict itself. Do most pianos have three pedals or only American grands?
Tesspub (talk) 12:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This is tricky.  Good (1982) is cited in the article as saying that European makers are still holdouts on including a sostenuto pedal, but this reference is now 33 years old.  Larry Fine's The Piano Book, published 2001, suggested that the sostenuto is by now included on essentially all high-quality grands, but he doesn't specifically describe a recent conversion by the Europeans.  I think more information on this would be helpful.  Fine also mentions middle pedals with different functions (like raising only the bass dampers), so the issue of three vs. two is not quite the same as sostenuto or no sostenuto. Opus33 (talk) 23:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

text: Following up with a search of the website of a few European manufacturers:  sostenuto is standard with Bechstein, Boesendorfer, Fazioli, and Petrof.  You can get it as an option on Grotrian.  Bluethner doesn't say but their images show three pedals and it's unlikely that the middle pedal is other than a sostenuto.  I was sad to see that Pleyel is out of business and Broadwood now makes only uprights. Upshot is that it doesn't seem to make sense any more to single out European makers as holdouts on the sostenuto and I will shortly edit accordingly.  Thanks for bringing this up.
