Talk:Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P31

message: I believe this article should stay. I checked other camera products on Wikipedia and they don't have any AFD template on their articles. If one page can stay on Wikipedia that is about an individual product,regardless of notability,then this page should stay as well. WikiEK (talk) 04:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument for keeping an article. I realize that you are the original author of this page, but you shouldn't take it personally, as pages like this will probably never be more than minor stubs. I am currently in the process of adding key details for individual cameras to the Cyber-shot page, allowing the individual camera pages to be made into simple redirects. I think this will be a more satisfactory solution, so if you can help by adding details and references to the list of models on the Cyber-shot page, that would be much appreciated. --DAJF (talk) 05:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Russian harness 

message: Clearly this article was written with only an American viewpoint and terminology. All OR and no sources, the writers seem to have the incorrect idea that English carriage harness terminology is old fashioned, out of style, 18th and 19th century terms, and no longer in use. Perhaps the insular thinking of Americans and the penchant for inventing new words explains this. I can assure you that the "old" terminology is completely in common usage today among sport carriage drivers. I added two comprehensive sources (one old, one contemporary) that can be used to cite in this article; both are available to search and read on openlibrary.org.

I will likely revisit the article later and 'fix' it. This is not the first harness article I've come across with the derogatory wikivoice language about "obsolete" terminology that is still in common use.    ▶ I am Grorp ◀  09:28, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Terminology not global 

message: The current comparisons to riding training equipment are unnecessary clutter in this article and are confusing to a reader who is trying to learn about overchecks and bearing reins and now has to figure out esoteric training tools just to understand what the article is supposed to be about. Bearing reins and overchecks are primarily parts of driving harness and that should be covered first. Later it can be discussed how this system may be used for riding horses (stop grazing). Last of all, perhaps, and maybe not even in this article, could be the comparisons to riding training systems (bitting rigs, gogues, side reins, chambons, and whatnots). The part about not using one on a dressage horse is probably the most obtuse tangent of the whole article.    ▶ I am Grorp ◀  09:28, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Horse brass

message: "used to cover the horse's mouth" (this version) suggests a phalera confused with a bit guard.  As far as I can tell, the phalera was a harness decoration, somewhat like a concho, that attached to the harness and had some additional decoration dangling from it.  Hence a typical phalera had 3 attachment points.  Phalerae came in sets, often of 5. --Una Smith (talk) 23:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Use

message: The program 'Collectors' on ABC TV in Australia recently featured a collection of pub paraphernalia, included in this were horse brasses.  The collector stated that horse brasses were used by carters as a delivery list.  Brasses had the emblem of the pub on them, cross-keys, kings head, etc. and the carters would know where to deliver without being able to read.
I haven't found any references to support this but I thought I'd add it here and maybe someone would be able to provide a citation.

Talk:Longeing cavesson

message: "The bridle checkpieces should be lengthened to allow this. If the bridle also has a noseband, It is removed".
This is nonsense! The checkpieces shouldn't be lengthened! The noseband shouldn't be removed, but the cavesson should be placed over a drop noseband and below a plain noseband or french cavesson.Conversano Isabella (talk) 14:35, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not in the USA, where many people outside of the dressage community use longeing cavessons, and particularly on small-headed horses.  On a warmblood with a big head it may not matter, but on an Arabian, Morgan or Quarter horse there is simply no room for all that leather and something has to go, most bridles used with a longeing cavesson are thus open-faced.  However, there may be some wisdom in rewording what is basically a "how-to" seciton in this article.  I'll take a look at it, and thanks for bringing this up. Montanabw(talk) 22:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: And also, on small-headed horses, a leather longeing cavesson is so big and bulky that the cheeks DO need to be lengthened a hole or two in order for the bit to sit properly. I did a brief rewrite for clarification.  Montanabw(talk) 23:03, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

text: You have to remove any additional traditional cavesson-style nosebands on a bridle for a longeing cavesson to fit.  In theory you could fit it over a dropped noseband, but that makes it very severe.  
The term "longeing cavesson" is also wrong! "Cavesson" is the right term. A cavesson for longeing! ....or are you saying a "longeing bridle" if you use a bridle for longeing? A cavesson can be used for everything! Conversano Isabella (talk) 13:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

text: This is not an article about the Spanish Riding School, it is an article about the Longeing cavesson as used in the modern world by a variety of people.    In English, a "cavesson" is any kind of noseband that is kept on the horse with an independent headstall.  The longeing cavesson with all the extra rings and stabilization straps is a specialized design.  And yes, in terms of etymology and history, sure, "cavesson" used alone is a French term for a heavy training derived from the ancient hakma  of Ancient Persia, which was the common ancestor of both the longeing cavesson and the bosal.  But the point is that this is ENGLISH language wikipedia, making use of English terminology and so on.  Modern use differentiates between the cavesson-style noseband on an English bridle, a longeing cavesson, and the purely decorative "nosebands" that attach to the bridle itself.

message: It is true the Geman for "groom" in this sense bears no relation to the English. However, the related word "bridegroom" (according to its page also deriving partly from an older word for "boy") is very similar in German, namely "Bräutigam". It seems unlikely to me that these two words are unrelated. I know that is OR but I think it raises serious concern about the sentence "It has no known cognates in other Germanic languages". A citation would be useful here I think. --Thehalfone (talk) 14:01, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: To acknowledge that "Gartner recognized five vendors to be in the leaders quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Mobile Device Management Software" Market Overview 2012." and then to list four companies out of this group of five creates a situation where it is easy to develop the position that one or more editors has a bias against the company that has been omitted. 
At the same time, mobile device management is a very rapidly evolving market segment that is likely to see significant change in the near future, suggesting that the list of "Notable providers" will require active curation if it is to continue to be accurate−Gartner even alludes to this is the cited report. If this happens and the list is continually updated, it leaves open the problem of new vendors without Wikipedia entries being removed from the list as not being notable (see history for use of this "justification").
So, I'd suggest we either update the list to add the missing 5th leader, or delete the section.

message: This holiday has been moved in 2008.  It is usually the 17th of March, but was moved by the Catholic Church to the 15th of March to keep it from falling during Holy Week.
