Talk:Théodore Dubois

message: The Biography first paragraph phrasing that Dubois took over the choirmaster's position in 1871 from César Franck may be somewhat misleading, particularly to those who don't know the French practices of the time for church musicians.  It makes it sound as though Dubois succeeded Franck at that time.
In fact, Franck began at S-C in 1858 as choirmaster and choir organist because the church had no primary organ.  When the Cavaillé-Coll instrument was installed some months later, Franck became titulaire (and effectively director of music for the parish) with Dubois assuming the (as French practice was then, subordinate) position of choirmaster and assistant organist.  After about three years, Dubois went off on his own, to win the Prix de Rome and continue his studies there, eventually to return to Paris and reassume his post in 1871 as Franck's assistant.  Franck took on the additional duty of choirmaster during Dubois's absence, but during the entire period continued as titulaire, responsible for all music at S-C.
Would a better way to cover the relation (which is certainly worth noting) be to say something along the lines of (for example): "During much of the time from 1858 until 1877, Dubois served as choirmaster and assistant organist at Sainte-Clotilde under César Franck."  One could, of course, be more specific on dates or narrating the exact sequence if desired.--Originalylem (talk) 17:12, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:WWF Jakked/Metal

message: WWF Heat was NOT similar to WWF Jakked
The description makes it sound like Heat was in similar fashion to Jakked, it wasn't, it was its own unique show, i.e. it had its own content.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcramarc (talk • contribs) 11:51, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: So did Jakked, in that they both featured lower card matches taped for the show before the main shows went on the air earlier in the week, the only major difference being that Jakked aired in syndication and so was considered even lower on the pecking order. (Metal was just the same matches as Jakked with different announcers and highlight packages for slightly "cleaner" content if that's what the station carrying the program wanted, especially if it aired in earlier time slots.) oknazevad (talk) 04:43, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Talk:Bail (cricket)

message: Bails were named as such as they were used as deposits to allow players to get out of gaol. The gaol-keeper kept them as security, this meant that the player would be punished for his misdemeanours not by being locked up, but by being unable to participate in cricket matches - no 'bails' meant no game.
Bails were originally manufactured in windmills, where a special attachment was fitted to the sails, and the rotary motion was transmitted through a series of ropes and pullies, to a piece of wood, which was whittled using a corn-sheaf. The is also the origin of the word 'wicket', these too were turned in the windmill, and the sound of the sails going round ('wi-kitt-tay, wi-kitt-tay, wi-kitt-tay') gave rise to the name of the 'stumps' of wood which were used.

Talk:Jews Against Circumcision

:Sorry, I don't think that any statistics are available. - Jakew 12:01, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not quite correct. An uncircumcised Jew is considered an uncircumcised Jew, and remaining uncircumcised is considered a sin but not a revocation of one's membership of the Jewish people. Have you actually asked the rabbis you are referring to? JFW | T@lk 02:29, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Oh, and you forgot that the question was "what is the percentage of Jews". The fathers may themselves be circumcised, and not circumcising their sons may be a sin but again no grounds for revocation of Jewish status. JFW | T@lk 02:31, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge [[Baltic countries]] and [[Baltic state]]

message: This article seems to be chiefly about the Baltic States, commonly understood as Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. It should probably be listed directly under that, rather than this strang 'Baltic countries' idea which seems somewhat peculiar to Wikipedia. The actual Baltic States have a unity of recent history, in some parts such unity unfortunately enforced, that does not encompass any other country that might happen to touch the Baltic sea. (I did read the merge debate.) -- Blorg 23:28, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you - title of this article is confusing. Maybe this article should rather explain terms as it is done in sections "Baltic Sea countries and Balticum" and "Other Uses" or make a note on top of the page that one should see article "Council of the Baltic Sea States" if he/she is looking for Baltic Sea States -- Xil/talk 06:14, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Silver Side Up

message: Allmusic states "The band wastes no time in getting into its brand of dark, high-octane rock".
This sentence states that this album continues Nickelbacks's style of "dark high-octane rock"; not that it's a departure. When the author writes "the band wastes no time...", she means that right from the start of the album the hard rock tracks (i.e, "dark high-octane rock") are there. 
That is to say, "Nickelback don't waste any time with shitty, slow tempo ballads; they jump from the blocks straight into their brand of dark high-octane rock". <--- This is what that statement means. This meaning is very clear even if you only read this sentence. And if you bothered to read the next couple of sentences, and indeed, the whole review, the correct interpretation would hit you right in the face.
You are clearly reading it wrong. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks! 124.186.246.195 (talk) 06:59, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Elon University

message: These comments are based on -- or "as of" -- the "Latest revision as of 09:11, 14 March 2024" version of this article. 
=== What the "Campus" section of this article says === 
The first sentence of the second paragraph of the "Campus" section of this article says: [QUOTE]:Elon's 656-acre (265.5 ha) campus is divided into seven major neighborhoods: Historic Campus, Central Campus, Global Neighborhood, The Oaks, The Station at Mill Point, Danieley Center, East Neighborhood, The Colonnades, and South Campus.
=== Internal disagreement === 
One problem is that while the [above quoted] sentence first says "seven", then it immediately proceeds to list nine different ['major neighborhood'?] names, right after the colon. (Were two "list entries" perhaps 'added', without updating the "total" number stated? Or... is there some other explanation, for what seems to be either a discrepancy or some "room for improvement"?) 
=== External 'disagreement' === 
In addition, the article about the Campus of Elon University has a "Residential Neighborhoods" section that seems to be inconsistent with (both the nine "list entries" and the stated number "seven", in) the ["Campus"] section of this article. I found that the "Residential Neighborhoods" section of "Campus of Elon University" has 8 (eight) sub-sections ... which seems to suggest that -- perhaps -- the correct "total" number of ['major'!] residential neighborhoods there, might be 8, ... instead of either 7 or 9. 
=== What (if anything) should be changed? (or, better "explained"?) === 
Any suggestions? Mike Schwartz (talk) 06:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
