Talk:Geographical Fugue

message: *The full text of Geographical Fugue are incorrect, especially for Soprano.  Those lines are so incredibly skewed that I'm confused as to what they were transcribing when putting those words as the Geographical Fugue.  Essentially, the English lyrics only has the lines:
Trinidad, and the Big Mississippi and the Town Honolulu and the Lake Titicaca.
The Popocetepetl is not in Canada rather in Mexico Mexico Mexico
Canada Malaga Rimini Brindisi Canada Malaga Rimini Brindisi
Yes Tibet!  Tibet!  Tibet!  Tibet!  Tibet!
Nagasaki!  Yokohama!  Nagasaki!  Yokohama!
*And the lines are simply variations of those... not all the crazy lyrics shown.  Furthermore, showing the lyrics probably doesn't do the Fugue justice unless you could show how all the Tenor/Soprano/Alto/Bass parts can correlate at the same time.
*There's a lot of antiphony, and the countermeasures sound really good.  It needs to be expressed im a way simpler than what currently is.

thread_title: The Lyrics

message: 1) I think this is fair use, notwithstanding, and attributed.
2) the text listed is an English Translation, not the original German, so wouldn't necessary be covered even if the original text should turn out to be under copyright.
3) I have reduced the quote text to a few lines. However, I still believe the full part text could and should be listed. As the piece consists of considerably more than text, reproducing the text alone is tantamount to quoting (with attribution) a paragraph from a book, which is perfectly acceptable from a copyright standpoint.

Talk:Trivially true

message: By the article content, isn't this the exact same thing as affirming the consequent (which is a logical fallacy)?  If so, it should redirect there.  Otherwise, what does "trivially true" actually mean?
However, if one reads the article for affirming the consequent, it seems to only apply to arguments with hypothetical propositions--not valid propositions.  In the case of valid propositions, there is no logical fallacy committed.  The logical fallacy occurs only when the  p \implies q  proposition is hypothetical.  Any ideas?

Talk:Proto-Mandarin Chinese

message: I think this entry should be deleted, as the stage before "Early Mandarin" would be technically "late Middle Chinese" of the Song Dynasty. 'Early Mandarin' being the sound system described by the rime dictionary Zhong Yuan Yin Yun of the Yuan dynasty, used for rhyming of Peking Opera during that time. "Proto-Mandarin" is probably meaningless and I've not seen it in the literature. Dylanwhs 17:32, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Proto-Mandarin is, in fact, a common subject in the literature, but this stub is completely wrong. Norman, Baxter, Simmons, Coblin and others have all explored the subject, and generally agree that Northern Chinese in late Tang or early Song times is the last common ancestor of the dialects that now constitute the various branches of the Mandarin macro-group. Note that the Zhong Yuan Yin Yun already shows many phonological mergers that are not present in the Southern Mandarin dialects, so it's already quite evolved from Proto-Mandarin. 71.217.235.133 (talk) 22:04, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

message: "Laws of Scotland from before the 1707 Acts of Union or after the Scotland Act 1998."
This is plain wrong.
The Scottish legal system has always remained seperate and markedly different from the system in England and Wales, even for the period betwee4n 1707 and 1998.
This article therefore is factually inaccurate and needs a cleanup
It needs to be pointed at Scots Law
:Seconded. The proper title is "Scots law", and needs to acknowledge that a) this continued after the annexation of 1707, and b) some areas of Scots law are still not dealt with by the Scottish parliament. MacRusgail 15:36, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

It makes no mention of Hosea's wife; on the contrary, it is quite clear that the subject of the article is the son of Japheth. Nowhere in the lead (or anywhere else in the article outside of the "In Hosea" section) is the prostitute Gomer ever discussed.I also don't see any evidence for the connection between the two Gomers to which you make reference above.
