Talk:Sari Maritza

message: This article cannot be very well researched. During the nineteen-fifties or sixties, an article appeared in a British women's magazine (I think it was Woman, but I'm really straining my memory banks here), in which Sari Maritza's one-time manager described how Maritza, unable to find work as Dora Nathan, colluded with her to place an advertisement in a British industry magazine stating something to the effect, "Miss Sari Maritza, the renowned Hungarian actress, is currently travelling in the United Kingdom and sends her greetings to her British colleagues." The ruse was a success. They attracted the attention of the British film industry and Maritza was given a screen test and offered work. At first she assumed a phony Hungarian accent but informed her employers that she was taking voice lessons to better her English and acquire a less pronounced accent. Needless to say, everyone was impressed with the results – she "learned" perfect Received Pronunciation. I don't remember much more of the article but PLEASE would someone like to do more comprehensive research so the record can be set straight (yeah I know) on Wikipedia? Mike Hayes (talk) 23:18, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Ross died of unattended pneumonia related to AIDS – he had no health insurance at that time – on June 13, 1989 in his house in Assas, France, aged 38.
Why the reference to health insurance?  What is "unattended pneumonia"?  Are we saying he had nobody taking care of him because he had no health insurance?  No friends, no family, no lovers ...?  Such a circumstance would be criminal in most civilised places, so it makes no sense to me.  Surely the condition he had was pneumonia, and it was he who was not attended, not the disease.

Semyon Kosberg was born into a Jewish family, lived in Slutsk until mid-1920 and then moved to RSFSR (Leningrad, Moscow, Berdsk), where he would work for the rest of his life.

Talk:Dinty W. Moore

message: I have removed the prod warning because it is uncalled for. This writer's significance is evident in that he's published 5 books over a decade (staying power) with both university and quality trade presses, published more than 1,000 pages of prose (he's prolific), and teaches at one of the country's finest schools for journalism and writing (he's vetted as a legitimate academic). He is most certainly as worthy of inclusion in “Wikipedia” as thousands of other practitioners in their respective fields. Finally, “Contemporary Authors” is the most trustworthy source of bio information on authors in the library community. That citation, and the supporting bibliography, make this entry both reasonable, well sourced, and helpful to readers of Wikipedia who need deeper information on contemporary writers.Rudowsky (talk) 14:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The paragraph (introduced by )
"As of 2007, while IMT has increasingly become easier to measure using higher grade equipment and careful attention to image quality, most clinical carotid ultrasound software in widespread use in the United States is not designed to easily facilitate measurement of IMT and most clinical ultrasound technicians remain unfamiliar with either performing or the importance of IMT measurements. Instead, most carotid ultrasound examinations remain focused on the older concept of measuring blood velocities within the lumen as an indication of the anatomic changes that occur after disease has progressed to advanced stages of severity."

message: has done a mass of good work here recently, my compliments. However there seems to be a fundamental and serious remaining problem: virtually nothing in the article is supported by an independent reliable source.

Talk:Sergei Ivanovich Mosin

message: The article said:  . Now I have several issues with that:
As I understand it, the whole point is, to show people how this Russian proper name should be pronounced correctly. It's defeating this purpose to put in a pronunciation that any American without any knowledge of Russian would natively adopt anyway.
Even worse: The way I read it it especially reminds me of southern redneck drawl. It has nothing to do with Standard American English, let alone Russian.
And finally: Why "IPAc-en"?? I can understand that an Americanized pronunciation may be valid for immigrants, who became used to their names beign pronounced by Americans. One might maybe even argue that the Mosin rifle is so well known among American gun collectors that it might have an established pronunciation – but this article is about the person. And since there is no indication given that Mr. Mosin stayed outside Russia for any significant time, pronunciation of his name should always be given in a Russian way.
The Russian stressed o is much closer to an uo or wo sound than an ou sound. Also the unstressed syllable is short. I would have liked to change the IPA to ['mosin] and the "respell" to MO-sin, but I'm obviously too stupid to do it correctly, and couldn't find a usably concise how-to in the help pages. So for the time being, I have removed what I have argued above to be a wrong pronunciation.
Also I've added the stress diacritic to the cyrillic spelling, as seen in the article ru:Мосин, Сергей Иванович.

Talk:Sergei Sobolev

message: This sentence, which is currently in the Sobolev article, doesn't sound right to me. Certainly distributions are very important in some areas of partial differential equations and topological vector spaces etc. But they are not currently taught to undergraduates as the new standard way to do calculus.
Maybe this article should have a bit more summary of the main properties and characteristics of Sobolev spaces, although the article on that subject is quite detailed. The idea that a function can be half-differentiable, for example, is so novel that it could be mentioned in this article about the person Sobolev.
--Alan U. Kennington (talk) 16:15, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That's why "the calculus of the modern epoch". Of course they aren't generally taught to undergraduates. Neither is ordinary calculus taught to primary school pupils. (Likewise, noone doubts that set theory is the basis of modern mathematics; but while it is introduced in undergraduate mathematics, this is usually little more than notation, and more specific study of set theory is very much a graduate matter.) - That being said, while it is of debate whether German universities are, technically, undergraduate or graduate institutes (the Gymnasium having quite a bit of the role of college); but most generally, a bachelor's study is considered undergraduate, and I did hear distribution theory in my bachelor's (albeit as a self-chosen seminar).--2001:4CA0:2FFF:11:0:0:0:145 (talk) 13:23, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Sergei Tretyakov (writer)

message: There are some discrepancies between the two articles:
In the German anthologies published, the August 9, 1939 is named as date of death. That's two years difference. 
The date of arrest according to these sources is: Juli 16, 1937. 
The rehabilitation is said to have been in 1956, not in the 60ies. 
These discrepancies might be connected to differing stories told about Tretyakow's death. I haven't been able to verify completely, if he has been murdered or if he has commited suicide. It seems to be certain that he was - in one way or another - victim of the stalinist purges. 
: I can't account for the discrepancy, but I can confirm that The Cambridge Guide to Theatre (ed. Banham, 1998) concurs with your dates, though only a year, 1939, is given. The short article concludes: "Arrested and executed in 1939, Tretyakov was rehabilitated in the 1960s, when the influence of his collaboration with Meyerhold could be seen in Yury Lyubimov's staging of Ten Days that Shook the World and in other productions at Moscow's Taganka Theatre" (p.1123).
