thread_title: Counter Reformation Composers

message: I've removed He is sometimes known as the "Spanish Palestrina" because he may have been taught by Palestrina.Slonimsky, Nicolas. The Concise Edition of Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, 8th ed. New York: Schirmer Books, 1994, p. 1073. Not in reference, and even 'sometimes' seems dubious to me.
Even though Victoria is typically viewed as being the leading composer of the Roman School, the school was also heavily marked by other Spanish composers such as Morales, Guerrero, and Escobedo.York: Schirmer Books, 1994, p. 1073. I can't figure out the reference, but "the leading composer" needlessly raises eyebrows. Compare Slominsky (Concise Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians) though:
..He is generally regarded as a leading representative of the Roman School, but it should be remembered that, before the appearance of Palestrina, this school was profoundly marked by Hispanic influences through the work of Morales, Guerrero, Escobedo and other Spanish composers resident in Rome. Thus Victoria inherited at least as much from his own countrymen as from Palestrina… Without the context of a discussion of Victoria's style the remark is not terribly useful.

Talk:Cher filmography

message: In the table there are many movies that haven't cit.
Someone got info about those?
*Speedway: The follow-up film of Good Times was Speedway, but due to the failure of the first film, Columbia Pictures immediately sold rights to MGM. Replaced by Nancy Sinatra
*Into the Woods: Cher was set to play "The Witch" in Rob Reiner's movie version of Stephen Sondheim's musical. Project abandoned 
According with this link, Cher turned down also the role for:
*Jill  Clayburgh,  Gable  &  Lombard,  1976.  She did not  even acknowledge receiving the script from Canadian director Sidney J Furie. Wise, if ill-mannered
*Talia Shire, Rocky, 1976.
*Madonna, Desperately Seeking Susan, 1985.
Also in a topic that was post on her official community that can be found here, fans talk about others movies that Cher turned down:
*Cher was offered the lead role of Catherine Tramell.

message: I annotated the article in this edit with what I could find about the variant spellings, but I left the existing inconsistencies in the body of the article itself. I know nothing about German names of that vintage, so I hope some expert can clear things up. It's even possible that the single-f was a typesetting mistake that got propagated somehow. For what it's worth, the German Wikipedia article has ff throughout, although it references an entry in Grosses vollständiges Universal-Lexicon Aller Wissenschafften und Künste (1743) which uses single-f in its lede but still has ff on the page heading.

replies: text: No! The term Reform School has fell into disuse because of its history of child abuse and sex abuse. However, reform schools are nothing like Youth detention centers. Reform schools are (were) training schools, i.e., prisons for youth wherein some attempt to "reform" or "train" was supposed to occur. Youth detention centers, on the other hand, were (and still are) secure facilities where youth are kept pending trial or other legal action. For instance, if a thirteen year old's parents are killed in an automobile accident, the youth may be housed in a youth detention center until the courts place him in some foster home. In other words, being detained in a youth detention center does not mean that the detainee actually did something wrong! Not so with reform schools. Whether or not a resident of a reform school actually broke some law, an inmate of a reform school would not have been committed unless the state thought that a law had been violated. --LymanSchool 13:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
