thread_title: Correction

message: I have never seen the term Old Portuguese be applied to Galician-Portuguese. This needs to be verified, especially since it can be misleading (can Old Galician be called "Old Portuguese"?!) FilipeS 16:05, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Old Portuguese

message: What justifies the following statement?
:Two of the most important Galician cities at the time, Braga and Porto, became independent with Portugal, while Santiago de Compostela was already a separated entity previous to the independence of Portugal. 
In what sense was Santiago de Compostela a "separated entity", prior to the independence of Portugal? And what made Porto an important city of Galicia in the 12th century? FilipeS 14:20, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:North Dakota Democratic–Nonpartisan League Party

Can we get some other people feed back on what the name of this page should be:
I think it should fall under the full official name that the party itself uses on its official website North Dakota Democratic-NPL PartySmith03
I'd agree with that, but North Dakota Democratic Party should be a redirect.  I've made it so. Meelar 00:48, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I just recently starting cleaning up and updating some of North Dakota Politics-related pages, and am very excited to see what you have to offer. I'm not very familiar with the history or intricacies of the state parties—I only know what I read in the papers—but if you have any questions, I'll watch this article and its talk page and provide my assistance where I am able. —LinkTiger (talk) 02:28, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail

message: Removed overcite from lede; this had previously been some 10 or so refs, later amalgamated into a wall of text. The book's debunking is comprehensively covered elsewhere in the article. Neil S. Walker (talk) 12:07, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Other influences 

message: The 1988 novel Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco mentions the Jesus and Mary Magdalene hypothesis in passing (a quote from the book is one of the chapter headings). However, Eco, a secular humanist, takes a negative stance on such conspiracy theories. Foucault's Pendulum was a strong debunking of themes found in The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail through the medium of satire.
I read the book and remember no such reference- needs to be properly cited. Besides it is a very vague reference as seems irrelevant. It also seems odd novel is used a reference.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.35.68.4 (talk • contribs) 15:19, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck

message: Main sources Baker (Slonimsky), Bukofzer, and memory.  Sweelinck is an interesting figure especially as he exemplifies the kinds of artistic expression possible during the religious conflicts at the time--what was possible to write in a Calvinist culture was quite different from what could be written under the influence of the Counter-Reformation.  Victoria, Shakespeare, and Cervantes were all contemporaries of his.  He's a fascinating guy and I think he probably crossed the Channel a lot and knew most of the English composers of the time.

thread_title: Date error

message: Good morning: Just another thought, we read first that we have no evidence that Sweelinck went to Italy, and later we find that he used the double choir configuration because he learned it from his travel to Venice. This may be due to mixing two different sources. In any case, I thank you for your good job, the Spanish Wikipedia article is a humble translation of yours. I would like to enhance also with the Dutch Wikipedia article, which has a beautiful image of the Oude Kerk organ and explanations on the organ characteristics.

message: Can someone establish notability for this article? It seems like a prime AfD candidate. And, I don't mean "is the phrase used?"-- I've used it myself. But most idioms I can think of don't have wikipedia entries either (e.g. the idiom "On the other hand..." has no entry). It's more of a "cultural references" bullet point in the main Mote article.

Talk:Poppet valve

message: Revision as of 02:07, 26 September 2007 (edit) (undo)98.194.209.247 (Talk) (→Valve position)
Wdl1961 (talk) 19:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  source 98.194.209.247 ?? 

message: The 1996 U.S. patent semi-cited as support for modern usage of "puppet valve" as an alternate term for "poppet valve" is not reliable. If you go take a look at it, you'll notice that while its title contains the word "puppet", its text refers to poppet valves (except where it erroneously refers to "popper" valves). Given the proximity of "u" to "o" and of "r" to "t" on the QWERTY keyboard, and the vagaries of OCR, Occam's razor suggests the most likely explanation for the anachronous appearance of "puppet valve" is simple typographical error. We'd need to see the original patent application or file to check for sure, and unless or until we can do that, I think we have to consider that particular source unreliable. If there is other, more reliable evidence for modern usage of "puppet valve", let's find it and incorporate it, but for now it looks like "puppet valve" is quite obsolete. 
(I say that patent was semi-cited because it was added in halfway fashion. "See for example patent number such and such" is not a citation. Please properly format your citations. —Scheinwerfermann T·C21:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: According to a few old books (particularly Audel's books) the origin of the term puppet for these valves comes from the similarity of the shape of the valve to the shape of the puppet on old style lathes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.50.80 (talk) 17:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Advertising? 

message: I have amended the incorrect French derivation given, of poupe, which actually translates as the English naval term poop, ie the rear of a ship. In fact, the French word from which puppet and poppet derive (and puppy too, for that matter!) is poupée, and all of these trace back to an original Latin word, puppa.

Talk:Paul Gottlieb Nipkow

message: If you think Nipkow had a casubian background, then please proof it.
Nipkow was born, lived and died in Germany, when his home was not yet "Polish administrated" as it is still today - unfortunatly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.157.27.92 (talk) 23:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nipkow: Nationality 

message: Paul Nipkow was indeed of Polish Kaszubian origin. He was born in former Polish lands, specifically in Kaszubia in Lebork, which the Germans had renamed Lauenburg. Of course his nationality was German, because Prussia (Germany) had annexed that part of Poland and Nipkow was technically a German citizen. Any scientist of Polish origin had to go to Berlin and speak German in order to advance his career. The clue to his ethnicity is the "-kow" ending of his surname which indicates Polish origin. The books Television Technology Demystified by Alexander Todorovic , Televiosn Encyclopedia by Stanley Kempner and others call Nipkow a German scientist of Polish origin.Myszkowiak (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Based on Action Stations and the Price of Freedom novel, it would appear that the Senate representatives are elected on the basis of planets rather than systems. It is possible that higher representatives for systems, quadrants and sectors exist, but at any rate we do not see them, and thus their existance should be considered unofficial and non-canon.
As for the name, there is actually some debate over the proper term for the Confederation legislature ... various sources refer to it as: the Great Assembly, the Terran Confederation Congress, and the Terran Confederation Senate. Since the highest medal that can be given to a Confed soldier is the Senatorial Medal of Honor, I have chosen Senate as the proper name. Bob McDob 14:04, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)

In the one instance that I did find a problem, that problem remains in the article and was never tagged.  It concerns the quote by Doctorow sourced to Answers.com about his relationship with E.L.  While I think there's a high likelihood this quote is real and that the subject even added it, I've been unable to confirm or verify it.  I did, however, place a supporting ref in a new sentence just after it, giving it weight.  We're not supposed to link or reference answers.com so I think this should be removed.
