thread_title: Unreferenced information

message: I oppose the removal of Brian Whitaker. Per WP:SPS,  Clearly, the Guardian (where Whitaker was previously Middle East editor) is a reliable, independent publication, and Whitaker has published a number of books relevant to this topic. 
I also want to question the inclusion of The Nation as a source here, despite its general reliability. The RS/P page entry is as follows:  I will remind users that there was an RfC about the use of this piece in the Douma chemical attack article, and no consensus was reached.
Given these are the only two secondary sources, it is hard to justify that this incident is noteworthy, let alone that the weight accorded to it in the current version. BobFromBrockley (talk) 10:38, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I realise a third secondary source was cited, Democracy Now!, whose RS/P entry is:  I have therefore added attribution. So we potentially have three weak sources (one removed as SPS, although I might see it as the most reliable). I still don't think this shows much noteworthiness.

Talk:Joseph Carl Shaw

message: Committing the murder of three people, Betty Swank, who was raped and then killed, Thomas Scofield Taylor, and Carlotta Hartness, who was raped and then killed, was a gruesome crime spree. It does not have the notability for encyclopedic inclusion and the subject is not notable. The unsupported content of having sex with a corpse is horrendous but apparently did not draw national attention. Being the "first person to be put to death by the State of South Carolina", since the death penalty was reinstated, is also nothing to be so notable as to catapult it to article status over the victims. There should not be a drive to "list" murderers on Wikipedia just to list them, that were "legally" executed, after being convicted of multiple heinous crimes. Otr500 (talk) 10:12, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Where's the Three Crosses Square? 

message: The Polish toponym "Plac Trzech Krzyży" (literally, "Square of Three Crosses") is unequivocal — in the original Polish, it permits of only one interpretation.
This is not the case with the English-language version, "Three Crosses Square".  The English language is built differently than the Polish.  The English word "three" can be an adjective or a noun.  "Cross" can be a noun, an adjective or a verb.  "Square" can be a noun, an adjective, a verb or an adverb.  Consequently, to many native speakers of English, "Three Crosses Square" will produce a subtle ambiguity that is often of use in poetry, but not in a toponym.  The resulting awkward dissonance of "Three Crosses Square" will be clear to many native speakers of English, but not to many speakers of English as a second language.
Probably the most unequivocal and therefore harmonious English rendering of "Plac Trzech Krzyży" is "Triple Cross Square".  Nihil novi (talk) 06:16, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Andante festivo

message: I’m assuming this edit refers back to this edit @ Eine kleine Nachtmusik. 
We have an odd result here: the work that is played by strings alone (the Mozart) is not categorised as such, but the work that includes a part for timpani (the Sibelius) is categorised as for “string orchestra”.  That term, to me, denotes nothing but strings; add any other instrument into the mix and you no longer have a “string orchestra”.  
Comments?  --  Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  03:11, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Eh, well the timpani part is technically optional, but you do have a point. In Mozart's case, as I said, it's not written as such, even though no changes have to be made to play it with doubled strings, so it seems to me to be inappropriate there, but Sibelius DID designate Andante Festivo to be for string orchestra, was the main point. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 05:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The article refers to a recording of the Sibelius performance of this piece issued by the "Columbia Gramophone Company".

Talk:Kullervo (Sibelius)

message: The 1st edition was published 4 years after the composer's death in 1961 by Breitkopf & Härtel.  It was a facsimile of a copyist's manuscript. Revised editions of the full score and parts continue to be published by Breitkopf & Härtel, and are available through Boosey & Hawkes. 
:Personal Observation:  The 1961 First Edition is not definitive and contains extensive errors; it should be avoided as a reference. Having edited Movt. III for private performance from this edition, I can vouch for a high rate of errors such as missing accidentals, dynamics, and performance indications; actual note errors; and many spelling errors and uncertainty of underlay in the lyrics, Finnish handwritten in German script (e.g. score has German "W" for Finnish "V" in many places).

Talk:Lemminkäinen Suite

message: Hello, fellow Sibelian and welcome to the wonderful world of the Sibelius tone poems! I am sure we are of one mind: the 13 Sibelius examples in this form represent, along with his seven symphonies and the violin concerto, the height of his orchestral powers. As such, I have taken the liberty over the last year of giving some of these tone poems (namely, The Wood Nymph and The Oceanides) the expanded treatment I think they deserve. 
As part of this expansion project, I have added infoboxes onto each of the tone poem pages (save for Finlandia and  Luonnotar and two that don't yet exist, The Dryad and Pan and Echo) to assist our readers in having the most important information about each piece at their fingertips. I feel that standardization of infobox information and form is something we should strive to maintain among these pieces, and as such, I suggest that any changes be agreed to by the community. If you're interested, I have the following opinions:
# Let's keep the picture of Sibelius the same for all his compositions, so as to create the feel of 'articles in a series'
# Let's have the opening title be the name in English (unless the native title is more famous, e.g., En saga)
# Let's include 'native name' or 'English name' below the picture if the piece goes by more than one name
# Let's have the form (e.g., tone poem) appear up-top next to the composer's name
# Let's include the average duration
# Let's have the caption under the image of Sibelius be "The composer in 1913"
# Let's keep the dates of composition/revision (important for some pieces, e.g., the Fifth Symphony, consistent with List of compositions by Jean Sibelius
# Let's have each infobox include information on 'movements', even if it is only one; this provides standardization among pieces. 
Okay, thanks for reading! If you are so inclined to add the infobox to the seven symphonies (or the four tone poems mentioned above) or some of his incidental music, please be my guest. My focus, for now, is on the tone poems.

Talk:Joseph Merrick (missionary)

message: I removed this paragraph:
:At about this date, the Reverend John Clarke and Dr. G. K. Prince, members of the Baptist Missionary Society of London, stopped at the island of Fernando Po, en route to the Nigerian interior. Here the British had been permitted by the Spanish authorities to establish a naval station, from which to patroll the Gulf of Guinea to disrupt the transatlantic trade in humans enslaved in West Africa, and encourage trade in palm oil as an ethical alternative. This had attracted a Creole settlement at Fernando Po, populated by freed slaves and West African migrants, but lacking in a Christian presence and other facilities. Back in England, the two missionaries persuaded the BMS committee to help meet the local needs at Fernando Po and elsewhere in the Cameroons. This led, in 1842, to Thomas Sturgeon (1810-1846), being funded to go to Fernando Po from England, closely followed in 1843 by the African-Jamaican missionaries Joseph Merrick (1818-1849), Alexander Fuller (d. 1847), and his son Joseph Jackson Fuller (1825-1908). Alfred Saker (1814 - 1880) arrived the following year with his wife.
It's well written, sounds true, and probably belongs in the article . . .  but no sources were cited. Can the original author please provide a source for where this information was taken? The rest of the article is careful to site its sources, so new additions should ideally follow suit. Thanks! — Dulcem (talk) 22:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
