Talk:Skepticality

message: Just for reference and to be something of a pedant, from OED either bi-weekly or bi-monthly is correct.
biweekly |bīˈwēklē|
adjective & adverb
appearing or taking place every two weeks or twice a week : [as adj. ] a biweekly bulletin | [as adv. ] she followed her doctor's instructions to undergo health checks biweekly.
noun ( pl. -lies)
a periodical that appears every two weeks or twice a week.
USAGE See usage at biennial and bimonthly .
bimonthly |bīˈmənθlē|
adjective
occurring or produced twice a month or every two months : a bimonthly newsletter.
adverb
twice a month or every two months : the magazine appears bimonthly.
noun ( pl. -lies)
a periodical produced twice a month or every two months.
USAGE The meaning of bimonthly (and other similar words such as biweekly and biyearly) is ambiguous. The only way to avoid this ambiguity is to use alternative expressions like : every two months and : twice a month. In the publishing world, the meaning of bimonthly is more fixed and is invariably used to mean ‘every two months.’ See also usage at biennial .

Talk:Fretwork (music group)

message: Does anyone know whether Go Nightly cares and Night's Black Bird are actually the same disc, just one English and one American? I thought they were, only the years are different. The years may be different, however, because I took some of the dates from my music library's records, and some from Fretwork's page. I'm not sure what year is generally used for discographies, and whether that is different from that of libraries. Any input appreciated, and if there's a page for wiki discographies that I've missed, please feel free to point me to it.Makemi 00:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In Alison Crum's viol tutor she gives a discography in which she lists both Go Nightly cares (VC7 90795-2) and Night's Black Bird (VC7 91117-2) which suggests that she thinks they are different...but she could be wrong! Bluewave 08:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like there were two seperate CDs, Goe Nightly Cares and Night's Black Bird, which were later released as a Virgin Veritas Edition "2-for-1" 61561, but which was released under the name Goe Nightly Cares. Hmmm. I think I will leave it as it is for now, since they really are two distinct albums.Makemi 17:58, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Discography

message: Anonymous editor 62.56.54.109 replaced Paul Nicholson and Christopher Wilson with Timothy Roberts and Jacob Heringman in the guest musicians section.
I have restored Nicholson and Wilson to the list, as I have quite a few Fretwork CDs that credit these two.  I haven't deleted the entries for Roberts and Heringman, but I don't have any Fretwork CDs that credit those two musicians.  Could someone with the full range of Fret's works :-) check whether Roberts and Heringman have recorded with the group and if not, delete the relevant entries?
Ecb 13:44, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm. It seems that Jacob Heringman is Susanna Pell's husband, and recorded with Fretwork on the Kingdom of Heaven soundtrack (they misspelled his last name Herringman), and according to his Magnatune page he's recorded with them at other times, but I can't figure out which recording. As for Timothy Roberts, his own page on Early-music says he's "been Fretwork's organist" since 2002, but since I don't have their most recent CDs I can't check that. I think it's very likely that both of them have collaborated with Fretwork. Roberts has clearly worked with them on editions as well. I think the best thing is to leave all of them, since Nicholson and Wilson have undoubtedly worked with them  in the past. Mak (talk) 16:31, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The category of "frequent guests" need not (and I would opine, should not) be restricted to musicians who have recorded with the group. Fretwork is at least as well known for their live performances as for their discography! Gambaguru (talk) 22:13, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually, if this is a mistake, it is quite a serious one, so if you can shed any light on this, please do.  This article is being mirrored and showing up near the top of every search engine.  I will try to find that online genealogy on which I based this; I thought it showed that the princely line and the baronial could all be traced back to some 18th century ancestor (William, I believe), but I may have misconstrued it.  --Joe 09:17, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, the houses were founded around the same time - which helped lead to some confusion on my part - but the founders do not appear to be related.
The 19th century German encyclopedia Meyers Konversations-Lexikon has separate articles about "Fürstenberg, altes Grafen- und Fürstengeschlecht in Schwaben" (Fürstenberg, ancient comital and princely family in Swabia)  and "Fürstenberg, alte freiherrliche Familie, in Westfalen und dem Rheinland" (Fürstenberg, ancient baronial family in Westphalia and the Rhineland" . The German Wikipedia has an article :de:Fürstenhaus Fürstenberg (Princely House of Fürstenberg) and an article :de:Freiherren von Fürstenberg (Barons of Fürstenberg). According to the last article, the two families have "genealogically nothing in common" (genealogisch nichts gemeinsam). Känsterle 14:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Coat of Arms changed? 

message: The coat of arms of Zaire also featured a stone (like the 1997-1999 coat of arms did), according to Article 6 of the (former) Constitution of Zaire:
"Ses armoires se composent d'une tête de léopard, encadrée à gauche, d'une branche de palmier et d'une flèche, et à droite, d'une pointe d'ivoire et d'une lance reposant sur une pierre." -- 01:50, 15 December 2012‎ User:MinnesotanConfederacy

thread_title: Zaire coat of arms is inaccurate

message: From one stamp from the Democratic Republic of Congo from 1999 (Scott# 1490), it shows a coat of arms for which I have found little information. It has two white lions supporters, with center design not unlike that of the emblem Mozambique. It is a white cogwheel with a hoe and AK-47 crossed over a book with colors of sky blue, black and white (a yellow star radiating above all of this at the top of the cogwheel).  Below this is an arc of dark blue with six yellow stars with a motto below this stating: Patrie, Liberté, Justice. I wonder if this coat of arms ever had any official status or was it just an artist's design?  Anyone have more information? ElkandAcquerne (talk) 21:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

message: This is not how the word "scene" is usually used. This is a specialized term popularized by Dwight Swain and Jack Bickham, but it doesn't overlap with what "scene" usually means to writers (a section of narrative with no timeskips or sudden location changes, and probably no POV changes if in third person, unless in a romance novel).

Talk:Timor

message: I demand the deletion of the comment about West Timorese wanting to join East Timor. That is such a nonsense comment. West Timorese are traditional tribal enemies of the East Timorese and are die-hard Indonesians. The West and East Timorese will never unite like water and oil can never mixed.
:* It would perhaps be best to cool down a bit, and *suggest* changes when you find something wrong. I believe you have misread the text. If you look at the citation--from an East Timorese source--you will see it is a report of West Timorese rumors. It seems believable to me, and further there is no indication that "tribal" enemies do not exist.
