Talk:Edith Frohock

message: I question edits made by at least two editors -- User:OneMarkus and User:Artintegrated -- to this and other articles about artists and organizations of questionable notability. As edits I have made related to WP:BLP, WP:RS, WP:N and other Wikipedia policy and guidelines have been  reverted, I have started discussions here and on other related talk pages to discuss the future edits and existence of these articles.

Talk:Daniel Fichelscher

message: Could someone clarify the phrase "he was flanked by Guido Hieronymus"? I think it might be a literal translation from an idiom in another language, but it is not a common usage in English, and it's not clear whether it's intended to mean "he was aided by...", or "he lost to...", or something else.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.225.157 (talk) 10:11, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Edmund Blampied

message: Blam (artist) describes a short-lived pseudonym of Edmund Blampied. Its a three-line stub, a merge seems a fairly obvious solution. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 10:53, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge proposal

message: The artist Edmund Blampied used the nickname between 1916 and 1939 for much of his work for books including some 100+ book dust jackets, and for all his work for The Bystander magazine (200+ issues from 1922 to 1927), for "Hutchinsons' Magazine" (50+ issues between 1922 to 1926) and for his work for The Sketch between 1934 - 1939.  I can list othe monir titles as well inclduing The Windsor Magazine, Men Only, The Queen, The Royal Magazine. I have recorded its use in over 500 books and issues of magazines, so it was not short-lived nor was it uncommon.  He used it more commonly than his full name in signing his commercial work. It would be good if it was possible to list him in the illustrator categories as "Edmund Blampied/Blam" or "Edmund Blampied aka Blam".  At the moment if you search for the name "Blam" it does not lead the reader to Edmund Blampied, which is the intention of the entry. Ah1954 (talk) 22:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Daniel Garvey

message: Being the president of an institution of higher learning is one of the grounds for notability of an academic.  Thus, in part the question of Garvey's notability is conditions on the question "is Prescott College notable enough to confere notability on someone who serves as its president?"  I would say yes, but this is a key issue in Garvey's notability.  Only if this question is answered no is it possible to argue that Garvey is not notable.  That is not to say that if Prescott College president is a non-notable position Garvey is for sure not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:54, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Flipped image

message: I don't understand the distinction between this and a flopped image. In two dimensional space, any reflection can be turned into any other reflection by a rotation; if you have a "flipped image", turn it upside down, and you'll have a flopped image.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:59, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge?

message: I removed the following, because I suspect it belongs at Flopped image:
:Many printmaking techniques produce images where the printed copy is reversed from the image made on the printing plate, so in a print copying another image, or a real scene or object, unless the artist deliberately creates the plate as a mirror-image of his subject, the finished print will be a mirror image of it.  Many print makers developed the skill of reversing images when making printing plates, but many prints, especially early ones, have images that are reversed.

Talk:Flopped image

message: What's the difference between "flipped" and "flopped"?  The article even claims "flipped" is used incorrecty to describe "flop".  The postulated change of axis looks like nonsense; surely one would be swapping left for right and the other top for bottom?

I take it that he is primarily notable as a philosopher, and not so notable as a theatre director or musician or campaigner or so on, so the focus should be on his philosophy, and the other stuff should be severely pared back. 60.225.114.230 (talk) 10:34, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Range Rover Sport

message: The third paragraph regarding fuel economy/environmental issues with vehicles such as this is relevant, but poorly written. I've inserted a citation needed for the race track/8 mpg sentence, however should the source reveal that this "test" was not done in the same manner as the U.S. EPA mileage figures that are also quoted, then this must be explained. I think that the addition of the last sentence in the paragraph was an attempt to do just that, however this sentence itself is misleading, bordering on incorrect (by omission of relevant background knowledge). I have not edited it, since the entire point of the vehicle's relatively low fuel economy should be rewritten, imo. The problem that I have with the last sentence is that should a vehicle be driven at speeds which one normally drives on a race track, then the fuel economy would be lower as is stated, but not explained. However, if a vehicle was driven in accordance with the driving pattern specified and standardized by the U.S. EPA on the same race track (to avoid traffic disruptions of the driving pattern), then the expected mileage should actually be close to the published figures.

Talk:Fresco-secco

message: In my opinion the differences between the wall painting techniques fresco and fresco secco have to be reconsidered. For me a fresco is painted on a fresh, wet plaster, a secco on a dry plaster. Then there are some "mixed techniques" in which the painter started in fresco technique, but finished in secco technique. I think the information of the existing possibility of a mixed technique should be included in both articles and the article fresco secco should be called secco. What does everybody else think about that? --Greenadia06 (talk) 09:50, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Gallery wrap

message: The statement in the article "First, the stretcher bars are thinner allowing the staples to show on the sides of the wood" implies that the thickness of the stretcher is what determines whether the staples show.  Isn't where the staples are driven (side vs back of the stretchers) what determines whether staples show?  To accept a 1/2" staple on the back, a stretcher does not have to be very thick.

Talk:Daniel Njenga

message: In his results section, the 2010 Mississauga Marathon is listed as one of his accomplishments.  However, I believe this was actually the result of another Daniel Njenga, also a Kenyan, but who emigrated to Canada.  See this article in the Toronto Star for more information.  Furthermore, upon inspection of the results of the 2010 Mississauga Marathon, the Daniel Njenga who won that race is listed as being in the Male 25-29 category, consistent with the Toronto Star article reporting his age as 28.  Based on this, I don't believe the Daniel Njenga of this article was the individual who won the 2010 Mississauga Marathon, because of the age discrepancy; the Daniel Njenga of this article was born in 1976.  If no one objects, I will remove this marathon from his results.  
Also, upon further inspection, it appears that the results entry for the 2008 Toronto Marathon is suspect; I believe it belongs to the other Daniel Njenga, not the individual described by this article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Stygiansonic (talk • contribs) 04:02, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Grassmann's laws (color science)

message: This should really be Grassman's Laws (plural), shouldn't it?  Most credible sources I can find describe four laws.  Notes from a class at University of Houston, many hits on google scholar etc.  The laws are stated with varying degrees of mathematic notation across sources, but the laws say 1. You need three colors that are linearly independent 2. A change in a component color will change the mixture 3. Lights stimulate independently 4. Proportional intensity.  It would be nice to cite Grassman's original formulation (which I can't find at the moment).Maneesh (talk) 20:07, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree.  This book has a good set of statements attributed to Grassman (probably not quite original form, which was in German). Dicklyon (talk) 20:24, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

text: As the book I linked says, "All modern colorimetry is based upon the principle stated in the third Grassman law".  This is essentially the principle of colors being a 3D linear subspace of spectral power space, corresponding to the retina having three types of receptors with different linear spectral weightings, even though everything that comes after, including the response of those receptor cells, is nonlinear.  That is, Grassman's laws are really about the physical optics end of the color vision process, more than the neural/psych end of the chain.  A better more neutral disambiguator would be something like "(color science)". Dicklyon (talk) 23:06, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
