Talk:List of horn techniques

message: Maybe it's just me, but I'm not so sure that things like alternate fingers, use of petroleum jelly on slides, and two different ways to empty water really qualify as "Horn Techniques"  Does anyone have a problem with removing (or at least validating the existence of) these particular subjects? Csdorman 18:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While I agree that alternate fingerings are important, and necessary, I don't think they fall under the heading of "horn technique".  Alternate fingerings are used by all brass instruments - and even by woodwind instruments as well.  And while petroleum jelly can be used on slides, it is not necessary.  There are many different things that can be used on slides - from the "real" slide grease, to Vaseline, to anhydrous lanolin, to STP.  Each one has good and bad points, but none are part of horn technique.  Same with emptying water - while it is necessary, it's hardly unique to the horn, and while it can be difficult, each horn wrap is different in some respects.  I still am unconvinced that these things belong in an article which otherwise is mostly horn-specific.Csdorman (talk) 03:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Horn Techniques? 

message: I don't see a single reference. But I do see plenty of errors; in most cases they seem to be based on a limited knowledge of the horn, and the brasses in general. One person's narrow perspective on the horn; a person with limited training, experience, and expertise. In other words, a typical Wikipedia article that's likely to remain in place, and to be taken as accurate by those gullible enough (and simple enough) to consider Wikipedia a reliable source of information. As it stands, the article fails to meet Wikipedia's "standards", which makes it commonplace and unexceptional.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.62.214 (talk) 14:44, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

"Mozart's horn concertos all include such stopped notes, in addition to bass notes obtained by the technique known as "overblowing," another skill developed by Leutgeb." from

Issues with this "fact": 
I know very very very little about the horn.
I can't find the quote on any RS site.
I can't find any other record of overblowing producing bass notes that are need in Mozart's Horn Concertos.
My enquiries are continuing.

Talk:All Star Pro-Wrestling

message: This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write.  This is how the article, as of July 24, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: Not too bad, although I have modified a few repetitions of "lauded" etc.
:2. Factually accurate?: Seems to be, reasonably well referenced.
:3. Broad in coverage?: Perhaps a little to thorough - the Reception section is highly detailed while the Gameplay and Development sections fall short.  This is the area I think which needs most focus.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Yes, in fact the Reception section treats the game from all perspectives.
:5. Article stability? Definitely.
:6. Images?: All correctly "Fair Use" tagged.
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved.  After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again.  If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice.  Thank you for your work so far.

Talk:European mink

message: The liberations of farmed mink by animal rights activists in Europe started in the 1990's. The decline of european mink began decades earlier, much due to hunting and loss of habitat. There is hardly a connection between the two phenomena. Also, the spreading of american mink in Europe happened a lot earlier, and by the 90's this species inhabited most of northern europe where european mink had vanished.
At least there should be a citation to back up the blaming of animal rights activists, or remove it alltogether.

There needs to be at least one short biography style reference that talks about Stevie's playing days. I didn't find any but they probably exist if he was that popular. The second issue regards point of view. I flagged a couple examples in the article and those types of statements should either be supported by specific references or toned down.

Talk:Indonesian serin

message: The color image of Chrysocorythus estherae (nominate) on this page is in error because the males have almost no white in their wings.
The name Chrysocorythus estherae orientalis (Chasen, 1940) may not necessarily be an available scientific name because it was originally described by Chasen in Serinus as S. e. orientalis.  It would be a junior homonym due to the availability of Serinus orientalis C. L. Brehm, 1831 (=Serinus serinus).  The key question is whether or not Chasen's name orientalis has been used in more than twenty-four or twenty-five works with a fifty-year span as per the conditions of the ICZN Code, Art. 23.9.1.2.  This is an oversimplified summary of what would need to be considered to reverse precedence.  Thus, the nomen novum for this name, which is Serinus [Chrysocorythus] estherae chaseni, may need to be considered.  mmslouis

message: The REC Broadcast query page that shows W243CE, W248AG, and W300BF is false information. I've looked up WUGA on the FCC's pages (sorry I don't have a link), and there was no mention of these translators. Has anyone actually contacted the FCC or REC to see if REC's list is an error?
Also, the W250AC translator is there to provide reception for parts of down-town Athens that are unable to receive the main transmitter's signal clearly. Athens and it's surrounding terrain is hilly. Also, the buildings of downtown Athens interfere with the main transmitter's signal.  (This information was taken from both the August 1997 program guide, and from the present Program Manager.)

replies: text: The FCC.gov lookup does not show any translator stations for any primary station, or vice versa.  As for the RAM-owned translators, RAM has made a business model of speculatively applying for translator licenses as non-commercial educational (no fees), then renting or selling them.  It is possible that WUGA/GPB doesn't know about this if RAM did not get the permission that they are required to.  Ask the station's engineer maybe, or listen around 1pm to see if they do a station ID for all translators (which they may not if each translator identifies itself).  GPB's WJSP-FM also lists several RAM translators, and two Atlanta stations were sold by RAM, one aired WCLK FM briefly (now 99X on W250BC).  –radiojon (talk) 16:27, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
