Talk:Philcon

message: Philcon can't have been annual since 1936 if the 11th Worldcon was Philcon II in 1953.  And the fifth Worldcon was Philcon I in 1947.  (See List of Worldcons.) The first SF convention may have been in Philadelphia and run by the PSFA, but it wasn't called Philcon.  -Semisomna 00:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On second thought, it could've been the "Philadelphia Science Fiction Conference" annually, and only shortened to Philcon in years when it was the Worldcon. What would it take to find out if that's true?  -Semisomna 00:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Philcon, The Philadelphia Science Fiction Conference, has been held nearly every year since 1936, it just has not been the World Science Fiction Convention every year. Philcon is run by the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, established in 1935. The Worldcon is run by the World Science Fiction Society, with bidding rules for other organizations to actually run the convention for WSFS. I am the current Treasurer of PSFS and I have attended Philcons since 1977. As soon as I can dig out my copy of Sam Moskowitz's Immortal Storm, and Fred Pohl's The Way the Future Was I will provide references. Mtrebing 23:32, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Megrez Delta Alberich

message: *Wow, you guys work fast; I didn't think anyone would bother with the Alberich wiki, since no one bothered working on a page until I did. Anyway, I had written a lengthy section detailing Alberich's battles with the saints, but I didn't include it until I finished it today. However, I'm not sure if it's cool to completely replace the previous section ("Defeated by the hands of Shiryu") just like that. Let me know if you guys are cool with it; if not, I guess we'll roll it back to the previous edit. Tragic Taco 00:45, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Major critics wrote entire books on Leon Golub. It would be easy to expand this skimpy article and do the work justice. Golub looks far less controversial now than he did during his lifetime, when non-objective, Pop and Concept art reigned supreme. When that art "ended," as Danto put it, in the early Seventies-- because after you'd exhibited Brillo Boxes and blank "white paintings" what was left to do?-- Golub was rediscovered. He was hailed as a kind of retro-pioneer reviving figuration and story, and canonized. There's plenty out there about him. Profhum (talk) 11:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I have removed the "citation needed" tag on the sentence that stated the performance name was a conscious reprise of the 1979 show, as i fail to see how that can be disputed:
there was an earlier show, called The Secret Policeman's Ball (established fact, and linked to the relevant paged in this august publication)
this show has taken that name and shoved this year's date in parentheses at the end. if anyone does not think that that is a "conscious reprise" of the 1979 show can they please offer an alternative explanation?--Bilbo B 10:36, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It was not the "conscious reprise" comment that I had tagged, if it was then the tag would have been after those very words.  Instead, it was the claim that the 1979 show heralded a breakthrough in public awareness of the organisation that I thought needed a reference and therefore tagged.--Stenun 15:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bartok Boating 

message: Einsam Wachend in der Nacht, the famous shimmering solo sung by Isolde's chambermaid Brangäne in Tristan und Isolde, strikes me as borderline bitonal. The orchestra is clearly modulating from one key into another without coming to rest (a famous trademark of the harmonics of this opera) and the singer's lines are sometimes in the same key as the orchestra but at several points they're not. The solo is often sung from a location to the side of/behind the stage, and with a great deal of chest vibrato, which adds further to the sense of blurred, a bit unfocused key relationships. 
The solo is sung a bit differently by different singers, but here is an example from the Bayreuth Festival in 1958 with Grace Hoffmann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4psg9umPE2g 188.150.64.57 (talk) 01:52, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
