Sorry, my edit was a missclick- I looked at your contributions after I reverted your edit at Dexter's Laboratory (which I stand behind) and must have clicked "rollback" by accident. Sorry! J Milburn (talk)
- And, judging from the time difference between the two, I probably had the contributions list open in a separate window from my main one... My "mouse skills" leave a lot to be desired... J Milburn (talk) 17:03, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
No personal attacks
[edit]Hi, your recent edit summary is inappropriate. Civility is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. Collaborative projects require civil discussions, not personal attacks, and the place to do that is on the article's talk page. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:25, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Cartoon Network - presidential era vs. decades
[edit]Hi Classical, an FYI that Phil A. Fry reinstated the presidential-oriented subject headers. I've reverted him, but you might want to open a discussion on the talk page, since this is somewhat a matter of preference. I'm leaving him a similar note. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:01, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Classical, Phil A. Fry has resubmitted the presidential headings again. If you have a specific objection, you should open a talk page discussion, otherwise you'll have no basis for reverting him again. Since you've previously expressed a problem with these headings, [1][2][3] it would behoove you to comment, otherwise, it will be assumed that you've dropped the matter.

Take it to the talk page
[edit]Hey Classical, you really need to take this kind of stuff to the talk page. If you have a perspective, assert it. If you voice a clear objection and people revert without participating in discussion, that's something you can ask admins to help you with. Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but reverting with angry edit summaries isn't going to help you, and you could unfairly get caught up in an edit warring situation, which would just suck.

Yes, even late Beethoven is Classical
[edit]And there are good arguments for denying the label not to late Beethoven, but to early Beethoven. I will definitely grant that his personal and political viewpoints are very much from the next generation after Haydn and Mozart, which makes itself felt in his music's emotional climate, but the key is in his forms and proportions which are certainly of a Classical character, even as late as the last string quartets. (As for Schubert, even the Great Symphony and the C major String Quintet from the end of his life deserve the label, even if the earlier works often do not.) I'm going to summarise some of Rosen's points here.
Early Beethoven tends to misunderstand Mozart's principles even as he imitates them, just like the proto-Romantic generation he was part of. His C major concerto and early A major quartet focus more on the contrast of theme, and the Piano Sonata Op. 2 No. 2 weakens the fundamental tonic-dominant opposition key to Classical style (which is not based on contrast of theme so much as harmony; otherwise, how do you explain all of Haydn and Mozart's monothematic sonata forms)? Paradoxically, just when the emotional climate of his music breaks into the Napoleonic era with the Eroica Symphony, he returns decisively to this classical I–V opposition. Even when he substitutes III or VI for it (e.g. op. 53, 106, or 127), he treats it exactly like V: "they create a long-range dissonance against the tonic and so provide the tension for a move towards a central climax". It is thus in the context of Haydn and Mozart that Beethoven is best understood, even if his viewpoints are those of a later age and he cannot completely be judged by their standards (since he expanded them so much in his "middle period" and distilled and contracted them so much in his "late period").
As for Schubert's Eighth being the first Romantic symphony: certainly there are early examples of proto-Romanticism (consider the exposition of the finale of the Third, which goes to the subdominant). But with the Unfinished we enter a new world distinct from even those early post-Classical imitations. Apart from Newbould's commments, I am not aware of any earlier symphony with a completely rounded first group, no transition to the new key, and a relaxed theme in G major (indeed, it resolves so well that it takes a tutti sforzato to bring us back home simply by forcibly playing the tonic B in several octaves). In fact, this seems to be one of the easiest ways to tell a Romantic work from a Classical work in this period: it is the former if the second theme feels more relaxed than the first in harmonic movement (for some extreme examples, see Chopin's sonatas). Double sharp (talk) 02:42, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
If you would like the quotes from Rosen
[edit]I tried to summarise this, but I don't believe it is possible to do any better than Rosen did originally. I've cut everything that doesn't go straight to the point due to copyright concerns (in any case, this is from five pages of a 550-page book, so I think we're fine).
"The question of Beethoven's position as a 'classical' or 'Romantic' composer is generally ill-defined. ... Instead of affixing a label, it would be better to consider in what context and against what background Beethoven may be most richly understood.
To begin with what may appear the larger issue—the spiritual content, the emotional ambiance of the music—would be to lame discussion from the start. It would be to risk confounding personal expression with general stylistic changes, and inevitably to muddle the different significance of similar expressive devices within disparate systems. That Haydn and Beethoven, or Schumann and Beethoven, used the same details or worked within forms that resemble each other, implies no sort of musical kinship if the details have entirely different meanings. Meaningless resemblances between composers can be found wherever sought for. Until we know how the details work and to what purpose, comprehension can only be, not simply provisional (for that is what it is at best), but illusory. It is, of course, difficult to avoid assuming a knowledge of the larger context in advance, regimenting the details accordingly: Beethoven often appears to speak too directly for us to admit the possibility that we have misunderstood him. A little methodological false humility in criticism, however, may go a long way towards revealing a genuine ignorance.
... It is tempting to think of Beethoven's substitute dominants as having something in common with the harmonic structures of the Romantic period, but his harmonic freedom is of a different order and nature. When the Romantic composer is not following an academic theory of form—that is, when he is not writing what he felt should be called a 'sonata'—his secondary tonalities are not dominants at all, but subdominants: they represent a diminishing tension and a less complex state of feeling, and not the greater tension and imperative need for resolution implied by all of Beethoven's secondary tonalities. ... Beethoven, indeed, here enlarged the limits of the classical style beyond all previous conceptions, but he never changed its essential structure or abandoned it, as did the composers who followed him. In the other fundamental aspects of his musical language, as well as in the key relations within a single movement, Beethoven may be said to have remained within the classical framework, even while using it in startlingly radical and original ways. ... We cannot even claim that Beethoven's harmonic licence within the classical style was a step towards the greater freedom of the Romantic generation, or that his magnificant stretching of the tonic-dominant polarity made it possible for those who followed to supersede it, or at least to bypass it. If Beethoven's daring had provided an example of such consequence, the Romantics would hardly have produced such uniformly conservative 'sonata' forms. ...
That Beethoven's musical language remained essentially classical—or, better, that he started with a late and diluted version of classicism and gradually returned to the stricter and more concise form of Haydn and Mozart—does not mean that he stood outside his time, or that his conception of classical form was the expression of an outlook identical to the late eighteenth century's. To cite only one trait, his music often has a sententious moral earnestness that many people have found repellent, and which is presented with an enthusiasm far more typical of Europe after the French Revolution than of the douceur de vivre that preceded it. Much of his music, too, is autobiographical, sometimes openly so, in a way that is unthinkable before 1790 if not presented playfully; it is embarrassing when historians read into the music of Haydn and Mozart the kind of directly personal significance appropriate to Beethoven and other nineteenth-century composers. Yet it is certain that Beethoven assumed a position not only contrary to the fashion of his time, but also in many ways against the direction that musical history was to take."

[edit]First of all, thank you for your contributions. I wanted to point out that there really were states that had popular votes before 1824, and there are non-"dubious" records of those votes. It would be a real shame if we lost the popular vote column on these articles. So here's what I'll do. I'll check OurCampaigns, the site from which Wikipedia got these vote totals. Please trust me for now when I saw these vote totals absolutely were cited from primary sources. By tommorrow night, EST, sources should be in. Thanks.

Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]
You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. — Newslinger talk 21:26, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Regarding this thread you started: Talk:WorldNetDaily#Incredibly biased introduction
You've been here long enough to know better than to advocate fringe POV and deny what RS say. You know that content is based on RS, so the fact you even started that thread without first reading the sources behind the wording and then changing your beliefs so they align with those RS is worrying. It shows you lack competence to edit such topics here. To show such ignorance of facts and reveal that you fully believe the birther conspiracy theories simply boggles the mind. Start reading that article and what the RS say, learn, and change your mind. Always keep your thinking aligned with RS. You need to show a positive learning curve if you want to be trusted here because fringe editors have a short shelf life. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:26, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- How dare you disparage me with this garbage! Also, what Wikipedia calls RS are actually incredibly biased arch-leftist sources, showing Wikipedia's bias in many politically charged articles. I thought I'd make a positive impression upon you people by pointing out Wikipedia's bias in favor of "reliable sources". But I guess I should've known better than to argue with a bunch of you guys. Also, saying I should "change my mind" to align with the "RS" and your way of thinking is a blatant assault on my psyche! Classicalfan626 (talk) 20:50, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
