Talk:Nouvelle Vague (band)

message: Nouvelle Vague seems to have at least a superficial resemblance to Sergio Mendez and his long-term Brasil 66/77/88/?? project.  Both are bossa nova bands featuring imaginitive cover songs performed by talented and photogenic female singers.  Nouvelle Vague seems to have the edge in its artistic intent and its execution, in my humble opinion. Cranston Lamont 02:00, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "[...] Their name is a play on words referring simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of cult French cinema), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of '60s Bossa nova-style arrangements (bossa nova meaning "new wave" or "new beat" in Portuguese).[...]"
I think "Bossa Nova" means somthing like "big new star" and "Nouvelle Vague" menas "new wave"?!? Anyone? Amsagen (talk) 20:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the current wording is fine: dictionary.com has the translation as "new trend", Wiktionary has "new trend" or "new wave" and the Oxford Dictionary has "new tendency" - either way, "new wave" is a perfectly servicable interpretation Dom Kaos (talk) 22:36, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Amsagen, I think I've just realised why you're confused: yes, for English speakers the word "nova" has indeed come to mean a new star (as the Wikipedia page has it) - but the word is actually just Latin (and Italian, Esperanto etc.) for "new". So it can mean a "new" anything. Hope that helps  Dom Kaos (talk) 19:47, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Scottish Unionist Party

message: Could I request that people who have previously contributed to the old article located at this spot (now a dab page) now please visit the following 3 articles and give them a good read:
*Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party
*Scottish Unionist Party (modern)
*Unionist Party (1912-1965)
I have cut and pasted quite big chunks from the new Unionist Party (1912-1965) article to the Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party one, and I am a bit concerned that appropriate citations/references were largely absent from those chunks! This is a shame, because it actually reads very well (thanks to whoever wrote it: I have not sifted through the edit history to see who it was).

Talk:Microchannel plate detector

message: OK, I did the merge from Micro-channel plate per the Talk there, but I think the article still needs work to make clear the function of the entire detector vs the plates themselves. Also, is there more to say about the use of MCP in oscilloscopes?Lisamh 02:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Editing... 

message: I think this "microchannel plate detector" has a semantic problem:
it's basically a detector subsystem made of MCP and detector,
and there are not suff. treatments of the parts and then their combined use.
After that you can wax eloquent about great design, and I (a tech surfer) will like it. I got here by a trail: photomulitplier - electron multiplier - microchannel plate - (redirected) MCP detector. The "photomultiplier" page rightly has a graphic showing mulitple discrete dynodes.  The elec.mult. page fails to describe the distinction between discreet- and continuous- dynodes, so there is no pictorial-level description of what a microchannel is. Need that, and I'll try to help write.  If you want to minimize number of pages, "microchannel plate" should be a section in electron multiplier page. jimswen 12:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Related to this: I don't get the difference between: Gas Electron Multiplier-foils and Microchannel plate/Microchannel plate detector.

message: The schematic shows the triangular symbol universally understood to represent an amplifier, but it's labeled as the anode! The anode is simply missing from the schematic; sorry! Nikevich (talk) 22:40, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's supposed to be the cross-section of a cone as in the Burle microchannel plate detector. Sorry if that's not clear. The Burle setup is a conical aluminum anode about 2 cm in diameter that sits behind the second MCP. The RM Jordan anode is flat (see here ). The flat anode is a simpler setup, but the output signal isn't as clean (more ringing). --Kkmurray (talk) 04:19, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Second illustration 

message: This looks like a diagram of MCP plates and mounting apparatus, but nothing is labeled, it's roughly sketched, and this is almost completely uninformative.  The text is equally unhelpful: "almost as fast" compared to what?  I think it should be removed.

thread_title:  List should be deleted. 

message: The fact that there was a CFD with no consensus doesn't mean we can't work on the category. It looks like the category was originally designed to include the cross-section of artists who are also feminists, and I think it's descriptively named that.  However, there's another category that really should be considered -- artists whose art is specifically feminist art. Obviously, they would be included within this category, but unfortunately, they would be lost within the masses of artists who are feminists but whose art is not specifically feminist art. Thoughts? --lquilter 21:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally I'd prefer it be limited to artists who do at least some feminist art or maybe just art with a feminist point of some kind. It'd also be good if we actually had a Feminist art article to work with.--T. Anthony 18:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, this list should comprise artists whose work is feminist.  While a list of the mass of artists who are feminists is a worthy subject, it may be difficult to verify.  The Ashley Judd criticism above is a case in point, and perhaps a justifiable one. --Cailil 20:59, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, too. The fact that someone has expressed support for feminist opinions doesn't make her/him a "feminist artist". For instance, I think that Katharine Hepburn wouldn't habe been too happy if she had heard her work as an actress would have been reduced to that term. Also, Alanis Morissette is a great singer and person, but quite obviously the focus of her songs is usually not any kind of feminist cause. On the other hand, as has already been pointed out, there is decidedly feminist art, and I suppose the people producing this art wouldn't be too happy either if anyone who has voiced some kind of opinion would randomly be thrown in their field of work.

Talk:Bank of Khyber

message: This bank had an IPO. I don't see that in WP:CORP as grounds for notability. I also don't see much basis for the idea that this coverage is independent. I'm going to re-add the notability template in the hopes that we can determine whether or not there is other notability-building coverage. I'll note that this exists in talk in the edit summary. If other editors feel really strongly that this article is clearly notable, I won't re-add it a third time. Erechtheus 02:19, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I can't see any remarks on IPO at WP:AFDP, you probably misread something. And I agree with Erechtheus: having been studying external links of the article last week, I found all of them advertisement-like. No analysis or criticism. This concerns referenceness, not exactly notability. But IPO is about notability of course. And local IPO is rather about anbsence of notability :) The recent removal of notablity tag was unmotivated cause we're supposed to change something or discuss when removing.

Talk:Old Guard

message: I've cleaned up this page as best I was able. One thing that could be controversial is that I undid the division of the page into political entries in one bunch and military entries in another. I did this because the dichotomy was entirely specious. Many of the "military" entries are not in fact military by municipal or state ceremonial and civic entities (i.e., they are political) with a veterans theme, meanwhile at least two of the three genuinely military entries were hand-picked by those whom they served (i.e., highly political again).  And so on. It's just too subjective.  I have instead reorganized the list by primacy/frequency of meanings in question, and further sorted it by how closely it actually matches the page name (that is, "Old Guard" first, "Old Guards" second, and "Old Guard something" third), and finally, put redlinks last in each of these quasi-sections.  I've also cleaned it up so that every line has one bluelink, per WP:MOSDAB. Also, removed two unsourced entries that seemed improbable or non-notable, including a bit of Star Wars fancruft that doesn't appear in any of the films or other major works (apparently it's in one of the "extended universe" novels or games or comics or something, if it was even real; too hard to find, and not mentioned at any of the large number of articles that were linked to from the rambling entry). — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 11:47, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
