thread_title:  Sources! 

message: Is the use of the term 'English cadence' useful or correct, given that precisely the same cadential formulas are present in Netherlandish composers' works (especially Gombert)? Perhaps this was mentioned in the radio talk mentioned above, which I missed.  The peculiarly English features that I can identify in its use are the relative lateness (well into the seventeenth century in the case of Gibbons and Tomkins, and even Purcell), and the deliberate seeking out of the dissonance for expressive purpose, for example in Byrd's 'Ad Dominum cum tribularer', or his extraordinary canon 'O Salutaris Hostia'. Gombert's false relations seem to be the result of the constraints of constant imitative polyphony in 6 or more parts.Coprario (talk) 13:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mystic Dunes Resort & Golf Club

message: This entry seems to be more of a commercial for the resort. Contributor411 08:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: My reason for adding this was that I was familiar with the property, and while looking online for a used week to purchase saw *many* outright lies about what the property had available.  Since it is one of the major properties near Disney, I felt that it rated a page, so I put one together with what info I could find that was accurate.  Admittedly, some of it is worded a bit positively, but the descriptions did match what I saw when I was there.  I included the section on timeshare sales at that resort so that anyone looking for actual information about their sales tactics would have an unbiased base of information to work from.  If anyone would like to rework the wording, please feel free, but please make sure that the information doesn't get thrown out with the tone edits, since it should be valuable for folks who want to know what they are getting into when heading for a vacation package (with tour) there.

Talk:Gwaʼsala-ʼNakwaxdaʼxw Nations

message: I noticed after creating this that there's supposed to an apostrophe before the capital N; it's in a couple of the redirects but one of those, whichever has the "right apostrophe" (same issue with 'Namgis First Nation, which isn't the right apostrophe but will redirect to a page with the right one in its title), should probably be the article, and this should be a redirect; Gwa'Sala and 'Nakwaxda'xw also exist as separate First Nation/Nation articles, and theoretically might be separate ethno articles (i.e. without "Nation", "First Nation" or "Indian Band" attached thereto), i.e. Gwa'Sala and 'Nakwaxda'xw, which would be ethno articles on these particular groups, now conjoined for administrative efficiency and whatever other affinities between them, but with separate histories, chieftaincies, particular customs etc (see the "Git-" subpages of Tsimshian for an idea of the range in each case); this article is for the band government governing two different, though allied, peoples - not for a single people, and perhaps the title is even properly plural, i.e. Gwa'Sala-Nakwaxda'xw Nations/First Nations, because of that; never mind all the potential different spelling systems, and the old Anglo renderings of these (Koksilah, I think, and Nahwitti). .Skookum1 03:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Political controversies in Australia

message: This category is used to tag both political scandals (in which there are credible allegations or concrete findings of wrongdoing) and mere controversies, in which there are strong feelings on both sides of an issue. It is difficult to imagine how one could impartially determine what is "controversial" and what is not. Mqst north (talk) 09:43, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Which assumes that all controversies are scandals, which doesn't seem correct - although the converse seems true, and so "scandals" could redirect to "controversies".  As to what would count as "controversial", see Controversy:  " Controversy is a state of prolonged public dispute or debate, usually concerning a matter of conflicting opinion or point of view."  Not all scandals are "prolonged", but there is also the notability requirement:  WP:N. Wikiain (talk) 23:31, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have nominated this category for deletion. Politics is by its nature controversial, so there's little value in separating out particular government decisions, elections, laws, policies or appointments as "controversial". For genuine scandals – instances of known or reasonably suspected wrongdoing – a scandals category exists. Mqst north (talk) 03:52, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

File talk:SerBac.jpg

message: Is it actually fair-use to have this image when there is a public domain image(Image:Sergebac7thcentury.jpg) that illustrates the same saints?  The image is not being used in a discussion about the artwork, only in discussing the saints also depicted in the free image. Aleta 09:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have provided a fair use rationale, at :Image:SerBac.jpg#Fair use rationale, and incorporated discussion of the painting into the articles where it is used, History of Christianity and homosexuality and Saints Sergius and Bacchus. I believe this now satisfies fair use criteria. — coelacan talk — 10:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would support the view that this is not replaceable by the public domain image. One work of art is generally not a substitute for another unless solely intended to show what someone looks like. This painting is being used to show the artists view of the relationship between the subjects and illustrates that in both articles. There is no public domain substitute for the painting in that context. WJBscribe -WJB talk- 17:16, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fair use disputed 

message: This has been ongoing. I really don't believe the fair use claim here holds water. It is arguable that this image meets fair use simply because it portrays these two saints in a homoerotic way (it is also arguable that it portrays them as identifiably "gay" at all). Further it fails other WP:NFC criteria as well; specifically #3, minimal usage, which states that non-free content is to be used "only if necessary", and #8, significance, which states it should only be used if its "presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." That is not the case here at the article in which it is currently included.--Cúchullain t/c 21:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:North Sea flood of 1962

message: This article was very well written, but could use improvement in a few areas. It was a very interesting and informative article. The main paragraph regarding the events included a lot of solid information and gave a very descriptive summary of what had happened. I believe to better that paragraph you could involve more references concerning the flood. The pictures add a nice touch to the article and for me they help me with imagery. As for the first paragraph about the causes it is very brief, and although it gives us the basic idea about what caused the flood, I think more information could be added to give the readers a better understanding about how substantial this disaster was and how it occurred. You could have also mentioned the geography of Germany and where exactly Hamburg is to give the reader a little bit of a better understanding where and how this area was hit. As for the paragraph about the aftermath, it’s very brief and could definitely be added to. It gives a general idea but I think that doing a compare and contrast as to how Germany fixed these dykes and how their emergency plans were bettered as opposed to how they were when the flood happened. The few references used were quite helpful and enlightening but to better prove some of the information used, the more references the better. The one thing that I was worried about is the death toll numbers. In your brief introduction you say that 315 people died but in the box on the right hand side of the screen it says it totalled 347. It might just be a mistake but it’s something worth looking at and making sure your information is valid. Another good thing about this article is that it is not biased in any way and your point of view was left out of it. That’s an important aspect in these Wikipedia articles, as well as the following. Your language was appropriate and you did not use any terms that didn’t relate to the subject, and you used the proper grammar. I could not locate any mistakes regarding the grammar or punctuation in this article. All in your entire article was very well-written and I have learned a lot about this subject. Even though it is a fairly short article you obviously did some research to compile this interesting information and applied it in an appropriate manner.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanissteinbach (talk • contribs) 22:00, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
