Talk:John Brack

message: :: I would dispute two aspects of this description of Brack's style; First that Brack has presented the people on Collins St. as 'identical'. The faces in the foreground are all different, though Brack has included some characteristic Australian faces which he has used in other pictures of that period. Secondly, I would dispute Brack having satirical intent. Satire is defined in the OED as prose in which "prevailing vices or follies are held up to ridicule" and implies the intention to "ridicule a person or class of persons". Brack examines and comments and maybe questions aspects of urban life and rituals, but he does not ridicule. He comments on the Australian Dream in his series on urban landscapes, the bar, weddings, the racecourse, competitive ballroom dancing. When he paints a picture of a grumpy older couple, guest or parents, as part of the wedding series, which also includes a deliriously happy bride, it not a satire on weddings, it is life.

Talk:Soga no Iname

message: The problem you are going to have with articles on figures from the Asuka period and earlier is that there simply aren't any sources of information that talk about anything beyond what is already included in this article. These people only show up in one or two written sources and that's it. We can expand what is already here (fluff it up) by taking more about figures they were associated with or their family members, etc., but you aren't going to find much more information about the individual. I think rating an article stub or not needs to be based on the relative amount of information in an article, not the absolute amount.-Jefu 01:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While it generally isn't much more than speculation, most figures in the late-Asuka period that are covered in the Nihon Shoki have been discussed extensively by Japanese historians. Reputable scholars theorizing on the reasons things happened and what certain figures relation to each other was, etc., is probably better for Wikipedia purposes than biographical information in primary sources. Asuka period persons are really no more problematic than figures in any other ancient, semi-literate society: some appear only once or twice in state chronicles, some kept personal diaries that are now lost to us but are preserved in other later records, some wrote poetry that was learnt orally or otherwise preserved until it could be written down much later, etc., etc. (Kakinomoto no Hitomaro appears in even fewer contemporary chronicles than Iname, but hundreds of books and dissertations have been written on him nonetheless.) elvenscout742 (talk) 08:01, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Uuuum..
Does anyone know if aerial cartwheels requires the stretching of the ligaments from a young age? Like, they harden after puberty and you're meant to stretch them at a young age? Much like young ballerina's and martial artists..?
Well.. does it? Zerocannon 00:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I started learning this technique when I was about 17 or 18 and I didn't have too many problems learning it.  I had a decent stretch when I started learning martial arts at 14, but I couldn't get the full splits till I was probably 15 and even then I had to work to get/keep it. While flexibility will help in learning things like this, they are not the most important thing. Learning proper technique, dedicated practice, and patience will normally take you where you want to go. You'd be surprised how little talent is needed to shine when you've got someone to teach you how to properly do things. Good luck.(Guyinblack25 19:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Virtually every event that took place in 7th century Japan is described in precisely one surviving historical record (the Nihon Shoki). The reasons for that are that much of the earlier records were destroyed by fire, an incident described in this article. That event has been discussed in literally thousands of scholarly texts within and outside Japan; it was one of the contributing factors to the compilation of the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki. The lack of reliable primary sources on Asuka-period figures is irrelevant for Wikipedia, since we are expected to primarily use secondary sources. elvenscout742 (talk) 06:37, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: The detailed demographic information for low-population regions, while it may be mathematically correct, looks quite ridiculous.  For example, Lakeside, Colorado shows "For every 100 females there were 233.3 males."  That seems tremendously unbalanced until you realize that for a town of 20, it's only 6 to 14.  Other statistics also look greatly out-of-proportion due to the low population sizes.  Interestingly, Bonanza, Colorado reports that "Males had a median income of $0 versus $0 for females" despite recording non-zero income figures for households and families - probably representing that at least 5 of 9 males and 3 of 5 females didn't earn income, thus putting the median of each on one of the non-earners.
Furthermore, a single simple event (birth, death, relocation, even change of job) in any of these places would also completely invalidate these figures (as opposed to being statistically insignificant in a much more populous area).
Thus, I would suggest that such ridiculous-looking detailed information should not be included in articles about regions with populations less than 100 (e.g. anywhere a single-person change would represent more than a single percent change), and that those statistics which are included be clearly marked with the date such information was pulled from.
