thread_title:  This article and [[:Free jazz]] article - same territory? 

message: As of this writing, this entire article has only one cited reference. The rest of the article, starting with the lede, comes off as original research. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 18:39, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: How so? Hyacinth (talk) 04:53, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Starting with the lede, I feel like asking "says who?" or "how do you know?" when I reach the end of most sentences.  For example, "This structure may be composed note for note in advance, partially or even completely" sounds more like Third stream, which may or may not be avant-garde. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 14:09, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The lede should not require citations, if it fulfills its prescribed function of summarizing the article contents. If statements made in the lede are not verified in the body of the article, then they should be removed. I believe that all of the uncited paragraphs in the main body of the article are currently flagged with requests for references, which means (as you rightly point out) that only one paragraph is currently cited.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:30, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Verifiability 

message: Why and where does this article need additional citations for verification? What references does it need and how should they be added? Hyacinth (talk) 04:53, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a couple 'citation needed' tags in the article, I'm guessing that's what the tag is referring to. SÆdontalk 04:55, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: More than a couple, and I think I was responsible for planting most of those. That was less than a month ago, though, so perhaps editors should be given a little more time to come up with some verification. On the other hand, there is absolutely no attempt at all to define just what constitutes "avant-garde" jazz, which might be a useful thing to do before compiling chronologies and lists of alleged "avant-garde jazz" musicians (not to mention claims that it is somehow different from "free jazz", a claim made in the lede but nowhere discussed in the article). Does such a thing as "avant-garde jazz" even exist? A source for the acceptance of the term might be nice to have, for a start.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 17:38, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Amy Winehouse 

message: Isn't it just a bit ridiculous how many articles link here? There are currently more than a thousand articles linking to this page. It seems as if some race-obsessed person has added this terminology and a link to this article from every single article about any white person singing soul whom the term might apply to, from Joe Cocker to Dusty Springfield to Timi Yuro. Like Wikipedia's deranged obsession with "portmanteau words", and the many other odd obsessions of a small minority of Wikipedians, Wikipedia would be a better resource if this kind of obsessive linking to some obscure hobby-horse bit of terminology was curtailed. Johnny Reverse (talk) 11:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why is Wikipedia so obsessed with this term? 

message: The second sentence, the one a reader would expect to enrich and expand beyond the opening definition, reads:
"The slang, coined in the mid-1960s, was invoked by music magazines in the 1960s such as Life who used it for the Righteous Brothers (album Soul and Inspiration for Verve Records), Barry McGuire, Sonny & Cher; other times it meant style and mannerisms associated with soul music sung by white musicians."
1. Opening with "the slang" is a terrible idea. I'm not sure why that is even mentioned. It could be in the first sentence ("...is a slang term for...") - except it is not slang. Regardless of whether it is in some slang dictionary or not.
2. Life is not a music magazine.
3. There is no need to insert the title of a Righteous Brothers album.
4. The unfinished list of three acts abruptly changes to another unrelated half-sentence beginning with the awkward phrase "other times" 
5. That final part, besides missing articles that would usually be used in English, is terribly unclear - are they associated with soul music, such music sung by white, or with the white musicians?
Deletion would be a pretty good fix for this, as on the whole, it actually says nothing informative.
Huw Powell (talk) 03:01, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally agree. The wording has gone through many changes, but it would be better to revert to an earlier wording of the second sentence, which more simply read: "The term was coined in the mid-1960s, to describe white artists who performed soul and R&B that was similar to the music of the Motown and Stax record labels."  Explanations can be given in the main text.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:32, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: The singer/actress Yoshiko Yamaguchi was in a similar position to William Joyce after the second world war, but suffered a very different fate. She was born to Japanese parents in Manchuria, but used Chinese names given by her (Chinese) "godparents" while studying and working in Peking. From 1938 she acted in films of a propagandist nature, often portraying a Chinese girl who falls in love with a Japanese man. She used the Chinese stage name of Li Hsiang-Lan and the impression given was that she was herself Chinese. Chinese responses to her behaviour were mixed. Soon after the war she was arrested for treason, but was released after being shown to be of Japanese birth. She was allowed to go to Japan, and resumed her career there and later in Hollywood (as Shirley Yamaguchi) and Hong Kong, married an ambassador and served three terms in the Japanese Senate.
If the English judiciary had been as independent as that of the Republic of China, William Joyce would have been acquitted, though he might not have been able to resume his broadcasting career and probably would not have achieved high office in either Germany or the United States.

Talk:Pulitzer Prize

message: Duke Ellington was voted the winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1965, but the Pulitzer Board refused to accept the ruling and decided not to give an award out that year. The Pulitzer Prize had been criticized for only focusing on classical music and not other genres, such as jazz or film scoring.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.184.116.57 (talk) 22:01, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: not moved. Per consensus. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 01:27, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Pulitzer Prize →  – In line with other multi-category awards (like the Emmy Awards, Tony Awards, Olivier Awards, etc) that have been moved to their plural titles as the main article is not about a single prize but multiple prizes. Notably the Pulitzers official website uses the plural name as well. So does the lead of the article here. oknazevad (talk) 16:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me inquire this: when you speak of common name, are you referring to the prizes as a whole, or to an individual category, such as the Pulitzer Prize for Literature? Because use of the singular for an individual award while using the plural for the awards collectively is the common convention in English. oknazevad (talk) 16:54, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Most references to the prize are singular. There is no nationally televised "Pulitzer Prizes" show in which recipients are announced. When there is need to refer to more than one issuance, it's plural, but again that is not the most common usage. There is an associated Pulitzer Prize Board that selects Pulitzer Prize winners. Britannica's associated entry uses the singular. The official website prepends "The" to the plural version, which is also not commonly used. —ADavidB 18:17, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Denmark (disambiguation)

message: Are the latter four meanings of the word Denmark supposed to be real or are they the result of weird humor? Danmark as the name of a parish, of a Swedish island, of a farm? Seems like a joke to me... Like when people refer to Denmark as a county of Sweden or a German state.

:*Danmark - a parish in Sweden.
:*Dannemark - a island in Sweden. 
:*Dannemarka - a town in Sweden.

Talk:Vittorio Veneto

message: Comment moved from article (left by an unlogged-in user ):
:It seems to be forgotten that Vittorio Veneto also was the name of one of the six battleships from the fleet of the Duce, armed with nine 15-inch cannons, measuring 35000  registertons.( from " The battle for Tobrouq" by Anthony Heckstall-Smith,p.10). Highly probable that the name would be done in memory of the above-mentionned armistice signed in the city of the same name.
I'm afraid there's just not quite enough information here for me to be able to add it to the article. What is meant by "the fleet of the Duce" - I'm afraid I don't know enough about battleships, or navies in general, to know how to word this information more encyclopedically. If you can fill in the gaps in my understanding, please feel free to do so - if you are the writer of the above comment, note that you edited the text of the article to add it, so you can do exactly the same to correct any errors or omissions you find around here. - IMSoP 14:27, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: Hi, 
this article has been signaled as if it needed additional verification (since 2015). I am definitely not an expert on the issue, but I have checked all the information (today April, 2024) and everything seems well referenced (I have added a couple references myself) as well as the internal links to other wikipedia pages.
Regarding the proposal to merge one user made, I would suggest leaving it like this. One is part of the other (being Typed Lambda calculus the big category and the other a subdivision) and it can be accessed already through the link to its own wikipedia page.
Thus, I will remove the banner asking for more verification. As I said, I am not an expert, so if someone disagrees its welcome to add more references.
