Talk:Embroidery stitch

message: This article could use some cleanup.  Things to do:
* Reword the "how to" portions to be be more encyclopedic.
* Remove some of the essay-like turns of phrase.
* Build out detailed, illustrated articles on each class of stitches and link them in as "main" references as they are written.  
**Done, more or less using a uniform structure, still need tweaks:
***Backstitch
***Buttonhole stitch
***Chain stitch
***Couching (embroidery) including laid work
***Cross stitches (contrast with cross-stitch, see Talk:Cross stitches}
***Satin stitch
**To do:
***Feather stitch (including fly stitch) Done - PKM 19:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Hilltowns in Italy

message: There are twenty regions in Italy.The only regions listed here are in central Italy near Rome.  This is a foolish way to categorize hill towns because I seriously doubt anyone will fill out the remaining 16 regions, moreover, the towns themselves are know by there province name, not region,  l Borghi piu belli d'Italia, which is an authority on these things, categorized the towns by North, Central, South, and Island, a much more rational sub-categorization.
Here's a list of the regions:  Abruzzo, Valle d'Aosta, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia, Lazio,  Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Molise, Piemonte, Sardegna, Sicilia,Toscana, Umbria, and Veneto.  Again, not a good sub-category.
   -- Silvia Marina Manno
Since we had a forced merge into Hilltowns in Italy from the category Medieval and Renaissance hill town in Italy, I have transferred the description of these hill towns, as well as two images providing  examples of the towns, to this page.  The four  subcategories are given an undeserved prominence, all being regions abutting Rome. A more helpful catergorization would be North, Central and South as used by I Borghi più belli d'Italia.

Talk:Adé, Chad

message: I have been entering geo-coordinates for a all of the cities listed in :Category:Cities in Chad and have been using both the fallingrain.com gazetteer and google maps.  I didn't see the coordinates already entered in the map caption and started hunting them down myself or I wouldn't have even noticed this.  Searching for 'ade, chad' on maps.google.com puts a stickpin right near where the fallingrain site says it is which is what is listed in the article, however the 'Map' or 'Hybrid' layers on maps.google.com show the town as being about 4 miles nortwest of where we have it.  There are numerous clusters of houses in the area and in truth it could really be anyone of them.  In my experience google's labeling for this region can be miles off sometimes and rarely correlates exactly with where searching puts the stickpin.  Usually the satellite imagery makes it clear where the town really is but in this case it is difficult.  It is also possible the name Ade refers to the whole group of villages but I am not sure.  If this is the case the coordinates listed in the article should be moved to the center of the whole collection rather than where they are currently and the article text should include this information. -AndrewBuck 18:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Valley Youth Theatre

message: For some reason, this article was marked for deletion. Not sure why. The article has merit because it meets at least these Wikipedia criteria:
*Well-known former residents/employees/attendees/students/etc. of the place, especially ones that are well-known enough to have an article
**Jordin Sparks
**Max Crumm
**Emma Stone
*Interesting aspects of the activities that go on at that place (e.g. for a school, interesting curricular or extracurricular activities)
**As a youth theatre, it is certainly of intereste to teachers and schools.
*Features of the place that distinguish the place from other similar places, or that make the place well-known
**Part of the popular Copper Square area of downtown Phoenix
*At least one image, such as a photograph or map
**Has a photo of the front of the theatre

Talk:Needle lace

message: The article states that the purest form of needle lace is made using only thread, needle, and scissors, and that there are other forms in which additional equipment and additional materials are involved. It would certainly be nice to have a picture showing a work-in-progress on the pure form (you know, a half-finished piece with the needle sticking out, that type of thing) to give a clearer idea of the process to those who don't already know. Pictures of additional forms and techniques would be much less important in my opinion, because after seeing the basic form, one might guess the others from verbal description; but not seeing the basic method leaves me lost. TooManyFingers (talk) 17:46, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: What this article calls the 'purest' form isn't the basic form in the sense you're understanding it. You can't extrapolate from (one of?) the 'purest' forms to the others. I think the 'purest' claim needs a source and some evidence this is a consensus term. I rather doubt this given the large number of forms of needle(point) lace which use additional equipment. And if it developed from openwork, as suggested here, the 'purest' form cannot be historically prior to less pure ('impure'?) forms either. I suspect that whether the 'purest' form strikes you as more pure is very much a function of which forms you're familiar with and/or learnt about first. Armenian needle lace is the first form I've encountered which doesn't use additional equipment. The techniques explained in my encyclopaedia of needlework don't mention any form of this 'pure' kind. They present needlepoint lace as worked on a temporary ground with variations according to how parts are joined, whether a commercially made net is involved and so on. The article seems misleading to me. If 'pure' is an accepted, technical term, it needs explaining; if not, it has no business in an encyclopaedia entry. 86.5.88.131 (talk) 01:25, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Adler

message: After the cuts at Zenith Electronics Robert Adler spent his last few months there trying hard, I was told, to find jobs and placements for those that he had to let go, then he retired.
He then did some consulting/associate research at the University of Illinois in Urban Champaign where I was a masters student.  As he had led some important work on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) devices, used as IF filters in TV receivers, he was brought in by my advisor, Bill Hunsinger, to work with us.  He came down by train about once a week and spent many hours working with Dr. Hunsinger and his students. I would often pick him up and drop him off at the train station, and once had him over for dinner in my dingy basement apartment. He looked around and my poor apartment and recalled his college days when a student rode his bike in cycles on a big round dining table.
While he was an advisor, he wasn't the tenured professor who was named on our dissertations, I think his name appears in the list of acknowledgments of many theses around 1978 to 1982 or so.  He was a lovely, gentile man for whom I have very fond memories. 
I am sure that Drs. Supriyo Datta, Carl Panosik, Don Malocha, Mike Hoskins, Bob Miller, David Janes, Anthony Lentine and others will give some credit to his mentorship.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilkus (talk • contribs) 20:25, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Old Sycamore Hospital

message: Contributing property is an actual designation the NRHP uses to denote significant structures within a historic district. The citation is not really needed because its not an opinion but both the poster at the historic district and the bronze plaque installed in front of the building itself qualify it as a contributing property. 
The reverse, a non-contributing property, is insiginificant to the historical character, intergrity and significance of a historic district. Such as say a gas station. So I dropped historical integrity and just left contributing property, as it seems that was the statement you had problems with, the link to the article can just explain what that means. Anyway, try to address things here on the talk page instead of in edit summaries, its just easier that way. A mcmurray 22:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Direct public offering

message: I do not think this article should be merged with 'Stock'. A DPO is one way to market one's stock - other ways are an IPO or 'secondary' offering. Stock is what is being marketed.

thread_title:  Avoiding Underwriting Fee as advantage? 

message: It is not clear that direct listings (of the type used by Spotify and Slack) are exactly the same things as DPOs discussed in the rest of the page. Direct listings appear to involve listing on the stock market without raising new capital (as discussed here: 1, 2), whereas DPOs can involve raising capital without any stock market listing (e.g. the Ben & Jerry's example discussed here).
Based on how the terms are used elsewhere, it seems it may be more accurate to say direct listings are a type of DPO, but not all DPOs are direct listings.
I may work on a clarification (or a separate page for direct listings) at some point but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something, and/or allow a subject-matter expert a chance to review. — stickguy (:^›)— || talk || 14:17, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
