Talk:Cloak

message: I am not sure how this article got rated as such. If anyone is reading this, then we are in the remotest corner of the oddest subculture in the universe. If we were virtual, we could hide here for a million years. This article is an oubliette. Strangely cool.--Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:51, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  High importance? 

message: The page though its illustrations gives the impression that cloaks are either primally or soley women's clothing. That is absurd. First Consider the phrase cloak and dagger. Who is wearing the cloak then? Almost invariably a man. (Although unbuttoned overcoats have been known to serve as a substitute.
Not to mention that superhero capes are full length or longer, generally non-wrap-around cloaks. The page could use an image or two of mens' cloaks. 129.74.229.113 (talk) 01:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Male usage of cloaks 

message: What is the difference between a Cloak and a Riding Hood?  Is that just a different name given to the same thing, or is it like the difference between Capes and Cloaks? - 2600:1700:8830:8DF0:602E:DA94:43DF:9C99 (talk) 00:10, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Riding Hoods? 

message: In the introduction I found:
::Cloaks have been used by myriad historic societies; many climates favor wearing a full-body garment which is easily removed and does not constrain the wearer with sleeves. 
A climate cannot favor the wearing of anything:  the fact that a climate is rainy in spring and summer, in autumn windy and rainy and chilly, and in winter windy, freezing, and snowy, cannot incline the people living in it to wear full-body garments, rather than separate garments for legs, torso, neck, and head.  I do not know of any people who would make garments that could not be easily removed, so no climate is necessary to prompt them to conceive of easily removable garments.  Moreover, sleeves do not constrain the wearer, or else nobody would have conceived of shirts and blouses, sweaters and jerseys, or jackets and coats. 
Finally, historic means "of great significance in the annals of history"; the proper word is historical. That said, since there are still societies in which people wear cloaks, even "historical" would be misleading.  
The passage should run:
Cloaks have been and are worn in countless societies.
Wordwright (talk) 15:59, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I take these points. One might add that the degree of tailoring necessary to make something like a modern overcoat was a relatively late development. Cloaks are actually poorly designed for people working with their hands, but not bad for riding. I don't like "countless" - maybe "Cloaks are simple to tailor, and have been worn very widely throughout world history". Johnbod (talk) 16:05, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

message: Whoa. 203.129.54.14 03:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: In A TV Tropes profile on Butthole Surfers, it is supposed that Gibby’s scatting was actually recycled sort of from “Watlo”, a live-only song from the first Lollapalooza era which became "Some Dispute..." on Independent Worm Saloon. Considering that vocals in both “Watlo”/“Some Dispute...” and “Jesus...” are basically same, it seems that, during that "Jesus..." session Jourgensen talked about, Haynes tried to sing “Watlo” over instrumental but failed as he got wasted. Unfortunately, there’s no RS on this point beside from an TV Tropes entry. Gleb95 (talk) 14:53, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:IAXy

message: The IAXy does take quite a while to notice that a server is gone and reconnect, but I don't have a reliable source for it.

replies: text: * If added to IAX, I would think that it would be removed as spam for promoting a particular commercial product. On the company page Digium it could be argued that it is simply referencing one of its products if the content gets cleaned up and presented in an encyclopedic manner.  As written, I am also inclined to submit an AfD because this appears to be not notable and promotional. Calltech 14:25, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

text: * Further Comment - I just spent some time reviewing the Digium article and commented there as well about its quality.  It appears to be written like an advertisement for the company.  What I'm trying to understand is why there are so many articles on WP about this project, company, standards, products (such as IAXy), owner, etc.?  Would one article suffice (probably Asterisk (PBX).  If Digium employs less than 100 people, there seems to be a disproportionate amount of WP articles for the significance of this group.  Comments?

With all apologies to Hugh Johnson, the term "Dark Ages" should be removed from this section.  It has been considered, by the majority of scholars for the better part of the last 100 years, as an innacurate perjorative term.  The preferred terms are Late Antiquity and/or Early Middle Ages.

Talk:Michael Hunter (historian)

message: An IP has repeatedly tried to remove, largely without explanation, Hunter's postnominals (FBA and FRHistS), and a mention of his enthusiasm for motorcycling. I have repeatedly tried to restore them. The motorcycling is trivial, but it is sourced information and I see no harm in including it. The postnominals are marks of notable academic standing, and should certainly be included: FBA in particular is awarded only to leading academics in the humanities and social sciences; FRHistSoc is a little less elite, but still a noteworthy distinction. Both are normally included as a matter of course in Wikipedia articles and elsewhere. In the one edit in which the IP did provide an explanation, it ran "Motorcycle enthusiasm irrelevant to professional associations that justify presence on Wikipedia. Titles irrelevant to professional historical contributions. Previous edits suggest self-promotion.", which as far as I'm concerned is incomprehensible nonsense. This has now reached the stage where the IP's actions amount to vandalism, and I am reverting to the status quo and seeking temporary page protection. GrindtXX (talk) 14:42, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

message: The article uses both "First Growth" and "Premier Cru". If these mean the same thing then we should standardise on one term. See Cru (wine).

Also, it would be good to merge the First Growth article into Cru (wine), and set up appropriate redirects. Currently second growth redirects to secondary forest. Verbcatcher (talk) 20:50, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
