Talk:George Washington Cutter

message: I am baffled as to how scholars have concluded that a man who seemed to always refer to himself as either "George W. Cutter" or "G.W. Cutter" came to be known as "George Washington Cutter." There may be some basis, but after spending many hours researching the man and his tragic life, I have not found the source. When I embarked upon a study of his life more than ten years ago, I expected to find that his full name was "George Washington Cutter" since that was the name used in encyclopedias. What I discovered, however, was that newspapers in his hometown of Terre Haute, Indiana, referred to him as "George Wales Cutter." I made note of it but still did not alter my view until I found a letter containing a biographical sketch of Cutter written by his cousin to Indiana historian William English. It referred to G.W. Cutter as "George Wales Cutter." Brismile 16:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Vals Criollo

message: Hi. Wikipedia has articles for "Vals Peruano" in several languages. I am going to talk about the one in English. It is known that about the origin of this dance that it comes from colonial time, from the Viena Waltzes. Recently I was listening some pieces of French Valse Musette. You can listen the sound is alike Peruvian vals with the 1-2 that goes with the main melody. In Youtube is possible to see some older French people (see "vals musette" and "bal musette") that dance exactly like Peruvians dance it. 
The Peruvian vals was known in Latin America. As far as I know, Argentinians were composing some valses by their own in the first half of the XX century; you can find them easily in the World Wide Web. Also, that I've listened some Colombian pieces that sound alike, though they are not called "valses."
In addition, need is to say that this music was rooted mainly in Lima and the larger cities in Perú. It is also called "Vals criollo" meaning that it was more related to persons with Spaniard heritage in their blood. The "Vals criollo/Peruano" was to benefit from radio and TV difussion last century. Its golden time was from te '40s to the '60s. Actually is fading because new forms of popular music that goes from cumbia and rock, to the loved Andean music are winning more room in radio, TV and the Internet.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharrub (talk • contribs) 15:52, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Anton Philips

message: The Philips Company was co-founded by his father Frederik and brother Gerard Philips in 1891. 
In the reference article * Anton Philips (1874-1951)  that is placed below the Wikipedia article you can find in the Dutch text "Samen met zijn broer Gerard heeft Anton Philips ‘de basis gelegd voor een multinational <...> The translation is "Together with Gerard, his brother, Anton Philips laid the base for a multinational <...> This doesn't mean that Anton founded the Philips Company together with his brother. Further in the same article is written "Al in 1891 ging de firma Philips & Co. van start, geleid door Gerard Philips en vader Frederik, maar nog zonder de toen zeventienjarige Anton." The translation is "Already in 1891 the firm Philips & Co started, lead by Gerard Philips and father Frederik but still without the 17 years old Anton." 
Still minor, Anton was in 1891 by law not able to found a company. Requested by his father Anton began his carriere in the family company, owned by his father and brother Gerard, in 1895. First having a trail period for a half year and after that permanently. Anton became a firm member on 1 april 1899. After that Anton and Gerard laid the base to make from the family company a multinational
Further in the text comes the source of the misunderstanding. The Dutch text is telling that due the bussiness genius of Anton the family company began to grow very fast since 1895. In Dutch is written; "Die uitbreiding resulteerde in de oprichting van de N.V. Philips’ Gloeilampenfabrieken in 1912", Translated into English "The fast expansion of the family company resulted into the foundation of the "N.V. Philips Light-bulb Factories" in 1912. It is important is to understand were the letters N.V. stand for. It stand for the Dutch notion "Naamloze Vennootschap" meaning "Nameless Partnership" and that stand for being an Incorporation. 
In 1912 the Philips Company was changed from a family bussiness into the Philips Incorporation led by Gerard and Anton Philips. Thus the Philips Incorporation was founded by Anton and Gerard Philips in 1912 twenty one years after Gerard and this father Frederik founded the Philips company as a family concern.--145.53.144.81 (talk) 15:39, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Art Young

message: “  Prosecutor Barnes, wrapped in an American flag and giving a moving speech, told a story of a dead soldier in France. This soldier, Barnes claimed, "is but one of a thousand whose voices are not silent. He died for you and he died for me. He died for Max Eastman. He died for John Reed. He died for Merrill Rogers. He demands that these men be punished."[5] Roused from his slumber by the impassioned speech, Young exclaimed, "What! Didn't he die for me too?" The beautiful oration successfully ruined, the second jury was unable to convict or acquit.”
Did the prosecutor really wrap himself in a flag?? This needs verifying.
Why did this reported interruption ruin the speech? This work seems to be tendentious POV. It is a contemporary source, certainly, but other accounts of this trial should be cited. 2601:647:5800:7D80:E562:1BB7:55D2:3EE8 (talk) 09:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

message: Was there ever a formal "Grumiaux Ensemble", to be capitalized as such? The Grumiaux Trio, with Janzer and Czako, often played and recorded together as a specific group over a number of years, but I had been under the impression that Gérecz and Lesueur were essentially pickups just for the 1973 Mozart quintets. The booklet for the Philips Mozart Edition reprint simply lists the five names, with no mention of Grumiaux as leader, but perhaps the original issue does identify them as a group.

message: Some oddness on this.  The sources all agree that it's awarded by the Belgium government, but I've yet to track down a central resource on it.  One of the sources says he was the only recipient, ever; this seems unlikely.  More importantly, EB says he was awarded it in 1940 and was the first recipient; this book hints at the same, but doesn't actually say it - "newly instituted".

that his classic work on the subject has never been surpassed for completeness, lucidity ,

Talk:Arthur Jephson

message: Another primary source is a book Jephson wrote in 1890.
Arthur J. M. Jephson or A. J. Mounteney Jephson ?? Though the A. stands for Arthur he did not use it. In the prologue of the diary, edited in collaboration with his nephew,  Dorothy Middleton says he was known as Mounteney. 
"In Darkest Africa", Henry Stanley says Mr A. J. Mounteney Jephson, Mr. Jephson and Jephson --all in one paragraph ! Then the cover of Jephon's own book adds an erroneus hyphen and he becomes as Mounteney-Jephson though the frontispiece carries a reproduction of his signature "A.J. Mounteney Jephson".
So there is a case that this article should be about A.J. Mounteney Jephson

Talk:Arthur T. Roth

message: I think the information here may be seriously incorrect. I seem to recall that Roth retired honorably, and at first was happy to see his protege Gleason take the helm, but then had doubts and misgivings related to Sindona's presence and Gleason's going along with Sindona's shady agenda. NEWSDAY took Gleason's side and according to Roth's autobiography more or less invented the Calverton land scandals, claiming it was an abuse of Roth's inside knowledge as a board member of the semi-governmental Nassau-Suffolk (later LI) Regional Planning Board. This came maybe a year AFTER Roth had retired from the helm of the bank, I think I recall. Then, after Roth reluctantly resigned from the NSRPB board (feeling he'd been unfairly targeted due to Newsday's own hidden agenda), Gleason (FNB CEO and Sindona stooge) was appointed CHAIRMAN of the NSRPB, with Newsday's very enthusiastic blessings. (The director of the NSRPB, Lee Koppelman, was the beneficiary of Newsday's constant editorial fawning over his brilliance; Newsday and the NSRPB strategized together and had similar goals for a glorious future for Long Island, as did Roth in his heyday). 
Newsday and Gleason remained close, a reporter told me, up to the day Gleason went to prison. And afterwards, too, perhaps - since Newsday's comprehensive history of Long Island in the 1980-90s failed to mention the world's greatest-ever bank failure until after I embarrassed them by asking them about it in a public forum. (These writers and editors all seemed genuinely surprised they'd overlooked such a huge story.) Their FNB story, when it appeared, was pretty well done, but was not included in the huge book based on Newsday's history series (maybe it's in a later edition if there was one, but I rather doubt it)94.170.101.136 (talk) 13:02, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
