Talk:Tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng

message: What does "one piece sheng" mean?  I've seen this sheng and it's not in one piece; it has a gourd and about 16 bamboo pipes, each with its own bamboo reed.  So it's in several pieces.  Badagnani 08:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The body of the sheng (the spherical and cylindrical parts, minus the reeds) was made from one piece; typically, the body was made by gluing/binding 2 separate gourd sections, since it was unlikely that gourds could be found that were naturally shaped like the sheng body.--Confuzion 02:11, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "One piece sheng"

message: The grave contained the bodies of all together 21 women, says the article. Bot no word of how they died and how old they were... All by chance at the same time...?

replies: text: I think the source (an art history book) doesn't say. I'd imagine the Marquis might have accumulated many dead wives/concubines etc from childbirth and natural causes. Servants one might not expect to be given coffins, but I'm guessing. If they were poisoned/smothered etc the cause of death might well not be acertainable.  Johnbod (talk) 01:13, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Hi there,
I corrected the word "spiritualism" to "spirituality" in the sentence describing Gangaji's interest. Spiritualism is defined as "a system of belief or religious practice based on supposed communication with the spirits of the dead, especially through mediums" (Oxford Languages), for which there is no evidence of  interest. Whereas spirituality is defined as "the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul" (Ibid.), which is consistent with her overall practice as a "spiritual teacher."

message: This page is a work in progress. I am in the process of adding lots more information/images and making sense of the data already entered.
Removed "If there's a scheme to be sprung, plans to be made, evil to be found, chances are that Master Darque will be behind it." from the end, didn't seem appropite for a wikipedia entry.  Removed "popular" as an adjective for Darque, same reason.  Changed "recently" in referance to his conflict with Gilad, it's not recent at this point and indefinate chronological referances go against writing for the ages =D  Linked a few of the valiant heroes refered to with their pages.  --Impulse 03:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The article says he owns a Victorian ballroom in Clerkenwell. I figure this must be a British term that I'm unfamiliar with, referring to a particular type of apartment or house, because the only meaning of the word "ballroom" with which I am familiar refers to a room where balls, i.e. dances, formal parties, are held. One does not normally own a ballroom without also owning the hotel, private club, or other establishment it is located in.
Does this term refer to something akin to a studio apartment, but much larger? Or...? LordAmeth (talk) 11:51, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Does moyai indeed mean "to work together in effort" in the local dialect? How traditional (how old) are these moyai?

message: The latitudes of the islands Izu-Oshima, Toshima, Nii jima and Miyake jima as specified in Wikipedia have at least one error, possibly more. More northerly islands are shown with lower numeric valued latitudes. The corresponding Longitudes are also suspect. My knowledge of Japanese geography is limited to admiring postcards of the bullet train in front of Fujiyama, so I cannot assist in resolving this error.

Talk:Jargon Software

message: Isn't it a shameless add?
(anonymous poster)
Probably you meant "ad", not "add"? No, it is not an "ad" and not shameless.
The company has developed patent-pending technology for mobile software. 
It was used to develop and deploy an application that won a 2004 Computerworld 
award for innovation. The architecture (which is described on the company web site)
invented a new approach to a "rich-client" or "smart-client" mobile application 
platform that increases the intellectual content available on this subject.
So it is more than just an ad for yet another "me-too" application developer.
The article is written according to the guidelines in WP:NOT#SOAP, i.e. 
"Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style."
So it is not shameless, but is written as a neutral description of a notable company
and its products.

Talk:Fixed cost

message: In determining the optimal level of output in the short run fixed costs are treated as sunk costs - they are ignored. If a firm is maximizing profits and fixed costs double this event would have no effect on the firm’s operations (other than reducing profits). The change in fixed cost would have no effect on the firm’s MC curve. Nor would it affect the price of outputs. Therefore the firm would simply pay the increased fixed costs and otherwise continue to operate as before.Jgard5000 (talk) 17:34, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Ashfordly then realise that his noble ancestor had not done all but noble deeds and return the head for transport and proper tribal burial.
