Talk:Architectural Engineering

message: Unfortunately there are at least two architectural engineering articles, due to differences in capitalizations of the original article title.  There's also a 'building engineering' article.  It's shaping up that the Architectural engineering article is for the U.S., and the Building engineering article is for all other countries.  This Architectural Engineering article has some interesting material, and if I don't read from others, in a few weeks I'll likely start moving it over.  October 17, 2006.
It appears that the similar Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, and Electrical engineering articles all capitalize the first word, and use lower case for the second.  So, the Architectural engineering article, rather than Architectural Engineering should be the surviving page after the proposed merge.  It also appears to have been the first one started.  Comment dated October 19, 2006.
I've moved over the 'common positions' (now called 'potential titles'), so I'm deleting that portion of this article (can be restored easily, however).  Any more merger/redirect discussion? FactsAndFigures 22:06, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Talk:A Martian Odyssey

message: *What about the controversy from the obvious colonialism and imperialism of the character (and possibly the author) that most foreigners can't be understood and anything of value must be taken from them?
**Answer: Weinbaum was trying to make his Aliens more strange, for while humans can be understood easily, the unusual phsycology of Tweel lends more to his martian heritage. Tweel, also, gives WILLINGLY to Jarvis and his crew. He is portrayed as a highly intellegent creature, fully capable of understanding people where they don't understand him (well, technically it, because he has no gender).
***I think that's more of a reference to how Jarvis stole the crystal from the barrel creatures. DS 14:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually Martian Odyssey states "Except for a half-dozen moon expeditions and the ill-fated de Lancey flight aimed at the seductive orb of Venus, they were the first men to feel other gravity than earth's, and certainly the first successful crew to leave the earth-moon system."  There is mention of "the ill-fated de Lancey flight aimed at the seductive orb of Venus" and "motors of the twenty-first century" but not much else.--Professor Phantasm (talk) 02:47, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Jive (dance)

message: I am at a loss as to what the following sentence means: "However, the jive including other swing dances was not approved by the black government."  It seems as though the sentence is written to imply the leaders of some country, but that does not fit really well with the rest of the article.  Is there perhaps another word that can be used instead of 'government' that would be less ambiguous? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wsauer (talk • contribs) 19:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Black government"? 

message: shouldn't "bpm" read "measures per minute" instead?
Usually "bpm" means beats per minute, not bars per minute. This means the values are off by the factor 4.
:I'm completely agreed with you on that. I have never seen the acronym 'bpm' being used to mean 'bars per minute'. I feel this could be confusing to some people reading this article.

replies: text: Clarified. Martin (talk)
I've done some research in the Internet and it seems that the base step indeed takes 6 counts (=3 beats), which it less than a bar (= 4 beats = 8 counts). And the "ands" between counts are half-counts. So when one dances just the base step it "shifts" through the bar 212.92.184.235 (talk) 23:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mambo (dance)

message: Looking at the current state of this article, I think that a rewrite may be required. The article is dominated by a contentious debate over what is and what isn't "Mambo". Reading the article learns a lot about (what some people think) the mambo dance isn't, but very little about what the mambo dance is. I would also doubt whether its the place of a Wikipedia article to declare that the form of dance known in New York today as "Mambo" has no actual claim to the name.
I think that the article would benefit from being restructured, with sections on the different forms of mambo that exist: 
- Cuban Mambo
- Classic New York Mambo ( Angel Rodriguez Razzmtazz post Palladium era)
- Ballroom Mambo
- Modern Mambo (Eddie Torres et al)
This would be similar to the article on Tango (dance), which gives info on the various forms on Tango without getting into debates over "What Is or Isn't Dancing Tango". -Humblebum75 (talk) 10:59, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:George Washington Scott

message: This is a very informative page about George Washington Scott.  I was curious if Wikipedia people would be interested in tracing out the geneology of this Scott family (I'm currently researching the family roots of certain distinguished families in Georgia.)  His father, John Scott, was a U.S. Representative, and one of John Scott's sons, also named John Scott, has his own wikipedia page.  Because John Scott already had several kids before he married Agnes Irvine Scott, it's unclear to me whether John Scott II is a half-brother or full brother to George.  Maybe it's worth mentioning or possibly linking.
This Article is in direct contradiction of the article on Scottsdale, AZ, which shows George W Scott, brother of US Army chaplain Winfield Scott, as being a resident of Orangedale, later renamed Scottsdale, AZ in 1888, while this bio article shows him as a resident of Atlanta.
Perhaps we're talking about two different George Washington Scotts.  The time periods don't really match up either.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.236.22.138 (talk) 00:20, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Chaplain Winfield Scott (not to be confused with any of the generals by the same name) was born to James Burt and Margaret E. (Covert) Scott in Michigan and raised in Interlaken, New York.  While I do not have a source to explicitly confirm details for the George from Arizona, it is a fairly safe assumption that his brother had the same parents and was raised in the same locations. --Allen3 talk 11:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
