Sorry for my bad english, but on the german version, the government Vranitzky III starts in 1990 and ends in 1994. And here, I see "During the government Vranitzky III, Austria became a member of the EU in 1995.". Is there a problem ?

Talk:University of Texas at Austin College of Natural Sciences

message: To reduce clutter, I propose only professors with wikipedia articles be listed in the Notable faculty section.  If a professor isn't notable for a wikipedia article or if none can be bothered to create one, they, imho, shouldn't be mentioned in this article.
I'd, in fact, go one step farther, and say that a professor shouldn't be mentioned unless they've also won a major award, but that's a debate that can be had another day.  For now, unless any arguments are presented as to why I shouldn't delete entries without wikipedia articles, I'll delete them in a week. TerraFrost (talk) 17:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Invitation to the Masters 

message: I believe the listing of what course(s) the Texas Open was played on in the 1940's is incorrect. I realize that the information contained in the article is consistent with that found on several websites, including one associated with the Texas Open golf tournament itself, and even websites associated with the courses. However, there are numerous photos and books about the Texas Open as Snead, Hogan, and Nelson played the San Antonio tournament for many years, and the information contained in those photos and books is inconsistent with the article above.
Today I did a quick internet search of the newspaper articles describing the annual Texas Open tournament for each year in the 1940's. Here is what I found.
1949 Brackenridge
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=feST4K8J0scC&dat=19490214&printsec=frontpage&hl=en
1948 Brackenridge
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=feST4K8J0scC&dat=19480209&printsec=frontpage&hl=en
1947 Brackenridge
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=PZE8UkGerEcC&dat=19470210&printsec=frontpage&hl=en
1946 Brackenridge
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=feST4K8J0scC&dat=19460211&printsec=frontpage&hl=en
1945 Brackenridge
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19450129&id=61gbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=pEwEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4352,2899276&hl=en
1944 Brackenridge
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1144&dat=19440215&id=J1kbAAAAIBAJ&sjid=j0wEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5119,5122275&hl=en
1943 No Tourney
1942 Willow Springs
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1310&dat=19420215&id=8l0zAAAAIBAJ&sjid=legDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5619,866782&hl=en
1941 Willow Springs
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=feST4K8J0scC&dat=19410210&printsec=frontpage&hl=en
1940 Brackenridge
https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=feST4K8J0scC&dat=19400209&printsec=frontpage&hl=en
In sum, I believe that the Texas Open was played at Willow Springs only in 1941 & 1942. It was played at Brackenridge in 1940, 1944-49. No tourney was played in 1943 due to WWII.

Talk:Van Cliburn International Piano Competition

message: I've removed this sentence from the Criticism section of the article:
:" The Van Cliburn competition, according to Ivry, has turned into an opportunity for career-advancement."
In a sense this is correct, but I really don't think it's a new thing, and it may not be a criticism at all (of course people enter competitions to advance their career, what's why they exist). In any case, it's something which could be said about any competition at any time, not just the Van Cliburn now, as the original context makes clearer (the whole sentence from which this is taken is "Watching real talents fall by the wayside in such competitions (Australia's Andrea Lam, another example, was stopped in the semifinals) is part of what happens when musicmaking is turned into a public contest for career-advancement"). --Camembert (talk)
: I agree that this is something which could be said about any competition at any time.  It is a criticism of music competitions in general, not just of this one, and does not belong here.
: There might be a place for criticism of a particular competition, if it's about the integrity of the voting procedures, or the qualifications of the jurors, or apparent conflicts of interests such as where jurors are also teachers of entrants, or the rules are changed to apparently permit certain entrants or disbar others, or whatever (see the Criticism section of Sydney International Piano Competition, for example).  But not just what is essentially "I would have chosen someone else as the winner".  There will never be agreement about who the winner(s) should have been, but that's a subjective thing and it does not amount to criticism of the competition per se.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 01:03, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Career advancement" 

message: Why does this Ivry article deserve a paragraph?  We all know the clickbait trick of making asinine controversial statements to attract page views, and that's all I think of this person.  "What was the jury thinking?" is a clickbait title.  He gratuitously insults Tsujii and Kobrin, more evidence that this is just clickbait.  What are this person's musical credentials?  Who is he to say, other than for shock value, that the Van Cliburn jurors have no ears?  Only Rachmaninoff, Arthur Rubinstein, or their equals, if even, could make such a statement without sounding asinine.
I don't think Wikipedia should ratify clickbait prostitution.  Instead, I suggest a list of links to published articles on the 13th Van Cliburn, including Ivry's, and deleting the paragraph of Ivry's opinions.  Other than as clickbait, his opinions have no special value and don't deserve to be highlighted. I'd like to hear some thoughts before I make that edit.Ten-K (talk) 00:24, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: I would say they're appropriate, at least for now - per MOS:LEADCITE, "Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations" and this issue seems to be all three of those things at the present time. Page views have shot up dramatically on this article, presumably due to the infidelity and campaign suspension. I think it's likely a lot of people are coming to this article from Google to get a quick overview, and are probably only reading the lead, so it's valuable for the citations to be readily available.

Talk:Van Williams

message: Quote from the article: "In 1993 Van Williams made a cameo in Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story as a director of The Green Hornet. It is unknown which director he was depicting." Can someone check the film? I am certain it was said that this was a test for Lee, or just maybe the pilot. The latter was "Programmed for Death," whose director was Larry Peerce. However, as the scene being shot bears no resemblance to any scene for that episode or anything else known to have been filmed for the show (including tests that recently surfaced on Youtube, some with different actors than those in the actual series), we can probably dispense with the implication that a specific real director was in anybody's mind here.

message: I find it amazing that in today's world that the EXACT date of someone's passing STILL can't be determined.
What is even more amazing is that even here in/at Wikipedia, there is no consensus.
The Death 'page' has one date and the Van Williams page has a different date.
Granted the dates are only a day apart --- Nov. 28 vs Nov. 29 --- but still I find it rather unusual.  If there is current doubt about the EXACT date, why not use a "/" like "November 28/29, 2016" with a possible notation as to why an exact date has not yet been determined?
