thread_title: Vandalism?

message: Why is this article being called 'Buen Retiro Park'? If you're trying to give justice to the Spanish name, then you're wrong. A simple inspection of the Spanish article would clarify this. The names for it are 'Jardines del Retiro de Madrid' or 'Parque del Retiro'. So 'Retiro Park' would do just fine. 'Jardines del Buen Retiro de Madrid' refers to the little park area that existed about 100 years ago adjacent to Parque del Retiro. The Spanish article for Retiro Park even says this.

message: The guitarist Doug Aldrich of this band is a notable musician. A quick look at his Wiki page would have shown he has worked and recorded with notable artists. The singer, drummer and bassist have all worked with other notable bands. There are links on the page that show and AMG site for the album. I do not know if that was looked at. There is another link to a respected site for this genre where the album is included. I don't know if that was looked at either.

Talk:Quinqui jargon

message: I added this against the statement about the map of Spain because (I think) there is a logical step missing. At a glance at the map I can see two land-based migration routes to Spain, one via France, one via Morocco; I would only choose the Morocco route if I started out with the assumption that Gypsies had some link with Africa (but I don't think they have) or if I knew that Gypsies were in Algeria and Morocco before they reached Spain (and I don't know that). If that is the case, it needs to be stated in the article, I think; otherwise, maybe the sentence about the map of Spain should go? Andrew Dalby 14:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree with both of you. I'm here now because someone just created an article at Merchero, which had redirected here. Unfortunately, it was uninformative, not even mentioning who they are or where they live, and giving only one (unreliable) source, so, short of writing my own article after hunting for reliable sources myself, I reverted it to a redirect. If an article is created, it should be at Mercheros, per WP:ETHNICGROUPS. One possibly helpful source: https://elpais.com/politica/2018/01/15/actualidad/1516031343_620614.html.

thread_title:  Two articles 

message: The older members of my family remember the "Quinquis", the travelling tinkerers, well. Most were quite pale or even very pale and quite a few were blonde and blue eyed. They were solidly, unmistakably of ancient European ancestry. There is no way that, as a group, they were of largely Morisco descent, regardless of what "some" may "think", that is, speculate. My mother is convinced that by their looks they were mainly of central European origin.Provocateur (talk)

message: Greetings Soniamcewan,
Have just seen the extensive work you've been doing on the article - great stuff! 
Rather than plough in and make changes and/or add the following comments to the discussion page, I thought I would just try to negotiate a modification to the intro as it seems just a little bit clumsy. I've been comparing it with the version that was in place at 11:38, 3 April 2007, and I really reckon that v. is better, as it summarises the article nicely (which is of course the aim of a wiki intro.) Possibly your version is a more faithful translation of the orig. in Sp. (I really don't have time to check), but as is too often the case with translations, the result can be a bit stilted, which I think is what has happened to that opening para. Please take this as being constructive, and I look forward to your feedback.
Regs. --Technopat 01:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your constructive comments and for taking the time to look at my translation.  I agree that the intro probably is a bit clumsy, but as far as I remember I think it adds some essential information that the original lacked.  I'm going to put a copy of these comments on the article's discussion page to remind me to revisit the intro when I'm feeling a little less tired and perhaps give others the opportunity to contribute to the discussion.  I hope you don't mind, but please feel free to delete if you do.SoniaUK 01:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just had a quick look - one thing that does sound clumsy is "indirect management".  However, I'm keen to keep this in because I think this is similar to the BBC's "arms length" relationship with the British government, and quite an important concept in the public broadcasting model.  There is a fuller explanation on the Spanish page es:Prestación de servicios públicos (España), which I'm hoping to incorporate in a translation of the RTVE page, and hopefully that will inspire me to improve the RNE intro.SoniaUK 01:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've now had a tinker with the intro, but I'm going to hold fire on reinstating the comment that RNE was "founded in 1937", because it had an existence before then (I think as Radio Salamanca) and I need to research this further.  Instead, I've stated in the section "Origins of RNE" that the station officially came into existence in 1937 because this seems to be the date from which it was either officially licenced as a public broadcaster or adopted by the nationalist rebels (or both).SoniaUK 03:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ribagorçan

message: This article lacks real depth... A part of what is called here Ribagorçan is Catalan while another part could be described as Aragonese. I don't see why there is such a category as Basque Language and a lot of things lack a real dialectological background. It is also included within a Gascon language while it has little to see with Gascon (a dialect of Occitan!).

Talk:University of Zaragoza

message: I completed the history of the Studium, specially the beginning of the  XVI century.  There are  basically  6 sources for it, and most of them just with tangential information, small book chapters and short papers written by scholars San Vicente Pino, Pedraza, Pallares, Blasco, Abizanda Broto, and the book about Histoy of the University of Zaragoza, coordinated by Rujula and Lomba,  (2016, but they did not use the documents of Abizanda nor those of Pedraza, nor it has the depth of explaining the mechanism,  teachers, building, lessons or progression in studies), all together they gathered like 50 documents from the end of XV and  beginnings of the XVI century.  What Gonzalez Ancín & Towns (2017) did is to use them all, and add 70 more documents they found, and that  allowed them to study these mechanisms in detail, well beyond any other scholar before. This means the information from 1477-1530/1540 is well covered.  What remains to be completed is what happened after. During the next days I will try complete it with all the other sources, mostly San Vicente Pino & the book from 2016, they provide substantial detail on those later periods of time. It also seems there is no  plagiarism anymore in the article, taken from  a website, as a user noticed- RaymondLeffere  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RaymondLeffere (talk • contribs) 15:59, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name 

message: Some logical thought can show that the maths in this article doesn't make sense:
# No watch can show the correct time, they can only show ever more accurate estimates of the correct time which asymptotically converges towards the correct time.
# The degree to which all watches are "broken" varies. This is not taken into account in the article.
— Nicholas (reply) @ 15:52, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There an implicit assumption that "working" means showing the right time to within some prescribed limits.  Does not the phrase in the article "yield the correct time to within some accuracy depending on the specification of the timepieces" not say just that?  Note that the degree of accuracy specified does not make any difference to the number of watches required to judge whether one has the right time with greater probability than with one watch.  It does of course make a difference to the total probability of having the right time. SpinningSpark 14:09, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
