Wikipedia:Peer review/Giuseppe Verdi/archive1

Giuseppe Verdi
The article that was there before was an insult. I can say no less. It contained factual errors; it featured imaginary facts; and was written in a kind of English that may be in common use in some small Italian village situated well away from major cultural centers but is hardly suitable for writing articles on music. Arguably the greatest opera composer who ever lived, Verdi deserves better. With that in mind, I wrote a new entry from scratch and would be very happy to receive some comments. Impressionist October 6, 2005

 * Good job with the article! There are a few things that need work, though. First, the intro for the article should summarize the article. It should be approximately 2-3 paragraphs; just enough information that someone could get a decent understanding of Verdi and his life and work just from reading it (God help those who don't fully read the article!). 2)There are some major NPOV (No point of view) problems with the article. While I agree that Verdi's music is moving and passionate (singing "Va'Pensiero" onstage is one of the highlights of my personal performing career), passages such as "Widely recognized as one of the greatest opera composers ever" and
 * Rigoletto is, arguably, the greatest opera yet written. In it, Verdi's artistic generosity is at its highest. Uspeakably beautiful melodies are tossed right and left, passages of celestial beauty scattered like pearls and never repeated, numerous arias, duets, trios and a quartet follow one another in an unceasing celebration of musical genius; passions vibrate; comedy and tragedy merge seamlessly.
 * while beautifully written, do not correspond to the NPOV rule. Just stick to the facts and let the readers judge for themselves. Should you feel you need to make a NPOV statement make sure it is backed by cited evidence or are direct quotes. 3)The biography section should be broken up into periods of his life: "Early life," etc. 4)Certainly more--if not volumes--could be said about Verdi's style in the style section. 5)The number of sources could be expanded a great deal as well. This is an excellent new start to the article and you write beautifully! Ganymead 05:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Okay, thank you. I have 1) expanded the intro 2) corrected some of the NPOV problems 3) divided the bio section into periods 4) expanded the style section. The sources I'm going to look into soon. Thank you again for the excellent suggestions, and please respond to my (expletive deleted) note on your talk page. Affectionately Yours, Impressionist

 * This is a great article in many ways. The Risorgimento section is excellent.  I'm a little concerned about the treatment of Otello and Falstaff—many critics consider these operas Verdi's most advanced and sophisticated work.  The article doesn't need to argue for that point of view but could at least be more balanced.  Chick Bowen 01:32, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Well done—it's a good start for an important article. But there are problems.
 * Prose: Can you remove 'to date' in the first sentence? And it would be much nicer to kill the parentheses and i.e. in the second sentence. 'Oftentimes' could be pruned to 'often'. Insert 'opera' before 'repertoire', and 'after' should be 'since'. OK, the prose needs a thorough editing throughout.
 * The paragraphs are uneven in size. Some are too stubby.
 * The 'Great master' section starts with his relationship with a woman, whereas you've keyed us up for a musical expose here.
 * Too much hype and dodgy comparison (Rigoletto the greatest opera ever written).
 * Style: I'd rather not read that his orchestration was masterful without being told why. Just a few snippets supporting the assertion are required. How, for example, did he achieve beauty of colour and texture in his scoring without overshadowing the singers? (There were several techniques that he perfected.) Which instruments were likely to be treated in unison? Put the bit about the tenor C later in 'Style'. Harmony, melody are more important. And I want to know a few (not-too-technical) details about his wonderful sense of dramatic pacing. While we don't want to copy Groves and other encyclopedias, they might give you a few insights that might make the task easier. Tony 15:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Goodness. As if there weren’t enough conceited ladies and gentlemen in fiction publishing. I have to deal with them here as well. Fine.

 * There are even fewer good editors these days than there are good writers. Most of the editors I deal with (not publishers, luckily) are bureaucratic pseudo-nitpickers. They would be true nitpickers if only they knew what they were talking about. Their characteristic traits are poor usage, absurd grammar, astonishing gaps in what one would think was common knowledge in the literary world (or any other world, for that matter), and a comical degree of self-complacent hubris. Look at the other responses: folks are actually trying to help make the article better. What do you do? You just go ahead and try to demonstrate to a fellow human being that you have power over him. I would have known what you do for a living even if I hadn’t looked at your profile.

 * All right. To business (if, in this case, one could call it that).

 * Well done—it's a good start for an important article.

 * One should know one’s classics. That’s a statement a very stupid character makes in a fairly well-known novel.

 * Can you remove 'to date' in the first sentence?

 * If I did, the implication would be that a more important composer will never come along. Not only would that sound needlessly fatalistic; it would also introduce a rather strong point of view to that one sentence.

 * And it would be much nicer to kill the parentheses and i.e. in the second sentence.

 * It would not.

 *  'Oftentimes' could be pruned to 'often'.

 * Pruned is not a word a person who has any respect for a) language b) his fellow human beings would ever use in that context. That said, when I write oftentimes, I mean oftentimes, and not often. If you don’t know the difference, that is your loss, and not mine.

 *  Insert 'opera' before 'repertoire',

 * No need. The article is about an opera composer. It says so in the opening sentence.

 *  and 'after' should be 'since'.

 * It should not.

 *  OK, the prose needs a thorough editing throughout.

 * “The prose” cannot be edited. Manuscripts can be edited, as well as paragraphs, sentences, and spelling. Shakespeare can be edited. Some classics can, though shouldn’t be, edited. Here are some things that, like “the prose”, cannot be edited: sugar, water, intonation, sushi, the sky. Make a note.

 * The paragraphs are uneven in size. Some are too stubby.

 * We’re not discussing a novel here. One would not expect the author of an encyclopedia entry to be concerned with architectonics.

 * The 'Great master' section starts with his relationship with a woman, whereas you've keyed us up for a musical expose here.

 * The “Great Master” section describes a portion of Verdi’s life and career both of which would have been different had not this woman influenced him. Please refrain from saying things for the sake of saying things.

 * Too much hype and dodgy comparison (Rigoletto the greatest opera ever written).

 * I said, “arguably.” Do not distort, please. I have no idea what you mean by “dodgy comparison.” I’m under the impression you’re just fond of throwing in vaguely insulting phrases, figuring that some of them might hit the target.

 * Style: I'd rather not read that his orchestration was masterful without being told why.

 * I do explain why, in some detail, too.

 * Which instruments were likely to be treated in unison?

 * No instruments are ever “treated in unison.” As a matter of fact, nothing can be “treated in unison.” The phrase is absurd.

 * Put the bit about the tenor C later in 'Style'. Harmony, melody are more important.

 * Than what?

 * And I want to know a few (not-too-technical) details about his wonderful sense of dramatic pacing.

 * Oh, really. Details, but not too technical. You’re very picky, aren’t you.

 * Please stay away from the article. Seriously. Impressionist October 17, 2005

Dave Freer

Dave Freer is a South African–born, Australian-based, award-winning science fiction author writing mostly humorous or alternate history novels.

Biography
Freer was born and educated in South Africa. He grew up on the edge of a city next to a ~500-acre nature preserve of coastal bush. His father crewed on a commercial fishing boat on weekends. After a stint in boarding school, where he learned "Smoking, strong drink and pursuit of wild women", he was conscripted at the age of 17 into the South African Defence Force and sent to the Angolan border as a medic (his last choice). "My choices were five years in jail, leave the country, or go in for a year. I'm a strong swimmer, but the Atlantic seemed too large...." The year stretched into two. Afterwards he married, went to university and became an ichthyologist, then worked as research officer for the Western Cape commercial shark fishery. To make ends meet, and alleviate writing "amazingly dull" papers on fishery matters, he moonlighted as a commercial diver for a mussel farm. He managed a fish farm for a time, but the farm was forced to close (through no fault of his own) and he started to write. Six years and 74 rejections later, his first book (The Forlorn) was published by Baen Books.

Dave is an ardent rock-climber and has opened many routes near Morgan's Bay in the Eastern Cape (South Africa). He is also an accomplished chef, winetaster, and also enjoys fly-fishing and diving.

For many years he lived near Mount West in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands with his wife, Barbara, and two sons, Paddy and James. In early 2010 he and his wife emigrated to Flinders Island, in the Australian state of Tasmania. He and his family are now naturalized Australians.

Dave has his own forum at Baen's Bar, a website, and a blog about "the Freer Family's adventures and misadventures emigrating to Flinders Island". His literary agent in the United States is the OnyxHawk agency.

Awards
His 2008 Novel, Slow Train to Arcturus, won the Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Novel in the Preditors & Editors Readers Poll 2008.

In 2022 he published Cloud-Castles, which won a Prometheus Award.

Reticulocyte production index

The reticulocyte production index (RPI), also called a corrected reticulocyte count (CRC), is a calculated value used in the diagnosis of anemia. This calculation is necessary because the raw reticulocyte count is misleading in anemic patients. The problem arises because the reticulocyte count is not really a count but rather a percentage: it reports the number of reticulocytes as a percentage of the number of red blood cells. In anemia, the patient's red blood cells are depleted, creating an erroneously elevated reticulocyte count.

Physiology
Reticulocytes are newly produced red blood cells. They are slightly larger than totally mature red blood cells, and have some residual ribosomal RNA. The presence of RNA allows a visible blue stain to bind or, in the case of fluorescent dye, result in a different brightness. This allows them to be detected and counted as a distinct population.

The RPI is used to assess whether the bone marrow is producing an appropriate response to an anemic state. Reticulocyte production should increase in response to any loss of red blood cells. It should increase within 2–3 days of a major acute hemorrhage, for instance, and reach its peak in 6–10 days. If reticulocyte production is not raised in response to anemia, then the anemia may be due to an acute cause with insufficient time to compensate, or there is a defect with red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Marrow defects include nutritional deficiencies (i.e. iron, folate, or B12) or insufficient erythropoietin, the stimulus for red blood cell production. Reticulocytopenia, or "aplastic crisis", is the medical term for an abnormal decrease of reticulocytes in the body The reticulocyte production index may find new use as a more reliable detector of erythropoietin-doping in athletes. The use of this method is referred to as "biological passport."

Calculation of RPI
Reticulocyte Production Index is calculated as follows:

1.$$Corrected Retic Percentage = Retic Percentage * {Hematocrit \over Normal Hematocrit}$$

This calculation is to correct for the severity of the anemia. A value of 45% (or 0,45 L/L) is usually used as a normal hematocrit for males.

2.The next step is to correct for the longer life span of prematurely released reticulocytes in the blood—a phenomenon of increased red blood cell production. This relies on a table:

So, in a person whose reticulocyte percentage is 5%, hemoglobin 7.5 g/dL, hematocrit 25%, the RPI would be:

$$RPI = {Corrected Retic Percentage \over Maturation Correction}$$ → RPI  $$= {{5 * {25 \over 45}} \over 2} = $$1.4

Alternatively some books provide the following formula and is called Reticulocyte Index (RI):

Whereas normal reticulocytes lose their RNA within 24 hours, a severely anemic patient with a full erythropoietin response will release reticulocytes that take from 2-3 days to lose their RNA. This has the effect of raising the reticulocyte count simply because reticulocytes produced on any single day will spend more than 1 day in circulation as reticulocytes and, therefore, will be counted for 2 or more days. The simplest method for correcting the reticulocyte count, to obtain a more accurate daily production index, is to divide the corrected count by a factor of 2 (or multiply with ½) whenever polychromasia (the presence of immature marrow reticulocytes or "shift" cells) is observed on the smear or the immature fraction on the automated counter is increased.

$$RI = Retic Percentage * {Hematocrit \over Normal Hematocrit}*0.5$$  →  $$RI = 5 * {25 \over 45}*0.5 = $$1.4

Interpretation

 * The reticulocyte index (RI) should be between 0.5% and 2.5% for a healthy individual.
 * RI < 0.5% with anemia indicates maturation disorder, meaning loss of red blood cells, but also decreased production of reticulocytes (i.e., an inadequate response to correct the anemia) and therefore red blood cells.
 * RI > 2.5% with anemia indicates loss of red blood cells (from causes such as destruction, bleeding, etc.), with an increased compensatory production of reticulocytes to replace the lost red blood cells.

Interpretation of these values are not standard and vary based on specific laboratory values and clinical context.

4x4 Evo 2

4x4 Evo 2, also known as 4x4 Evolution 2, is a racing video game developed by Terminal Reality for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and Microsoft Windows. It is the sequel to 4x4 Evolution and features more trucks, and more racing tracks than the original game.

The courses are primarily in extreme environments such as deserts, canyons, and other off-road locales. Players are allowed to customize their vehicle to their liking with a variety of engines, suspensions, wheels, tires, and other aftermarket parts and modifications.

Despite the PlayStation 2 version of this game being developed in North America by Terminal Reality (in the United States particularly), it was exclusively released in Europe for unknown reasons, unlike all their other titles released for the system. The Mac and GameCube versions, on the other hand, were exclusively released in North America.

Settings
Different settings for vehicles, time of day, and weather are available to choose from. Unlike the first 4x4 Evolution, the night and pitch black settings were removed due to a possibly unstable frame rate, which was never fixed — allegedly because it was just simply not fixable.

Missions
The player may also play through missions set in various locations, which typically revolve around locating various objects in the area. Each location has multiple missions, which revolve around a single profession or storyline. Missions between areas are not intertwined, however, and are unrelated to the racing portion of career.

Development
The game was announced in February 2000.

Reception
The GameCube, PC, and Xbox versions of 4x4 EVO 2 received "mixed or average reviews" according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen called the latter console version "A case of too many options and not enough gameplay to back it up." Steve Bauman of Computer Games Magazine gave the PC version two stars out of five, saying, "As with the original, the multiplayer is actually solid, it's really quite attractive, and there's all that… stuff… in it, but this is really more of a downgrade from a rather mediocre original game than a 'take it to the next level' sequel."

Talk:List of numbered highways in Oregon

We have a problem with the naming of articles
The Highway numbers are unsigned. Routes are signed. The articles should be at Oregon Route XX. --SPUI (talk) 18:08, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I (and others) have been mostly ignoring the internal ODOT highway numbers (as opposed to the "route" numbers, that appear on roadsigns), for the reason that the general public is FTMP unaware of (and does not use) the internal ODOT numbers. Oregon is unusual in that it keeps two sets of numbers; given that this is a general-purpose encyclopedia and not a road geek site, indexing pages with ODOT numbers would add more confusion than clarity, I think. (Furthermore, the two numbering systems are not congruent; there are many signed routes which run on city streets--and have no corresponding ODOT number. Until recently, there were many ODOT highways with no route number either; though ODOT is changing that.  Still, even though many highways which have no route number have been assigned route numbers by ODOT, very few of them have had roadsigns posted reflecting the new number (OR104 and OR551 are two that have).

In addition--the common lingo (among the general public) for referring to state highways in Oregon is "highway nn" rather than "route nn" or "SRnn". Traffic reports in the Portland/Vancouver area frequently refer to Washington routes 14 and 500 (two major commuter routes north of the Columbia) as "SR14" and "SR500", but equivalent-sized Oregon routes such as 217 and 99E are always called "Highway 217" and "Highway 99E", never "SR217" or "SR99E". Just an interesting bit of local road culture. --EngineerScotty 18:32, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not saying we should have articles about the Highways, just that the current articles should be moved to the proper names. Putting them at "Highway XX" is misleading, despite its apparent use by the public. --SPUI (talk) 19:00, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If anything, they should be at Oregon State Route XX, duplicating the convention many other states adapt, with redirects from (or to) Oregon Highway XX. --EngineerScotty 19:23, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Or Oregon Route XX - it looks like they omit the "State". The redirects from "Highway" may be misleading - if there was a simple one-to-one correspondence, a disambiguation would be in order. --SPUI (talk) 20:02, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Sri Lanka article
Hi, I noticed you left a comment on the Sri Lanka article saying the map showing the provinces does not display correctly. It seems fine on my monitor, but there maybe a problem displaying it at different resolutions. Could you describe the problem exactly, or better, post a screen shot of the problem? Thanks. -- snowolf D4  (  talk  /  @   ) 15:51, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:State highways in Oregon

We have a problem with the naming of articles
The Highway numbers are unsigned. Routes are signed. The articles should be at Oregon Route XX. --SPUI (talk) 18:09, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I will be adding highway number cross-references to the name designations in the route articles, with a link to a secret highway number article I am adding. Dan ad nauseam 22:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I would recommend not creating a new article, as I think this article, State highways in Oregon, covers the difference between signed routes and unsigned highways sufficiently well. Besides, "secret highway number" is not an encyclopedic term, and a neologism besides.
 * I'd already tweaked your edits to Oregon Route 3 before I saw this. -- NORTH talk 22:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I was using the secret number terminology after seeing it used elsewhere. I won't object to the article being rejected. Dan ad nauseam 23:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I see you're changing the links to reflect what I did on OR 3. If so, you might want to consider tagging the secret highway number article with db-author to nominate it for speedy deletion.

 * Also, please read the message I left on your user talk page. -- NORTH talk 23:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * As part of the route/highway number cross-reference project, I have revised the OR 99E Bus article and part of the OR 99W article to conform the references to the format NORTH and I have agreed to. Comments always appreciated. Dan ad nauseam 00:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

US Highway 320 in Oregon?
The page for U.S. Highway 320 doesn't mention anything about Oregon; it only mentions Wyoming. I've never heard anything about a US 320 in Oregon. Any references? --EngineerScotty 21:46, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

 * It doesn't seem to have existed. The 1925 plan had a US 320 in Idaho and Washington, but nothing in Oregon. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 06:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Er, looking at that a bit more, Oregon is typoed as Washington. So 1925 US 320 would have entered Oregon, but that was never posted, as US 20 was replaced by US 30 in and west of Idaho for the final (late 1926) plan. The US 30 article has some details. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 06:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Redoing the list
Route 372 is not listed in but we have an article on it. Has it been decommissioned? Was it ever a Route, or only a Highway?

 * ODOT lists Route 372 as unassigned as of 1/22/07. Dan ad nauseam 22:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I recommend moving all the articles to either Route X (Oregon) or OR Route X (Oregon) - "Oregon State Route" is a neologism not used by ODOT. I can't figure out whether they use Route or OR Route more often - can someone who knows more about it comment on that? --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 06:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

is a very useful file, by the way. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 08:00, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Merging equals bad
Since Routes and Highways are entirely different things, these lists should not be merged. However, the routes section on the highway page should be moved here. Routes can run on several different highways (kind of like your commute runs on several different roads). Routes sometimes run on county roads as well as state highways. For example ROUTE Interstate-84 runs on both the Columbia River AND Old Oregon Trail HIGHWAYS. ROUTE 213 runs on Cascade HIGHWAY and Marion County ROADS. Bdag 05:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

The new route numbers
I just checked ORS Ch. 366 and the 2002 special session records. I don't see any legislation mandating the new route numbers; are we sure this isn't just a decision within ODOT? Dan ad nauseam 22:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, I think the reference to 2002 legislation is in error. Dan ad nauseam 00:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I think you're right. Last time you asked, I looked into it, and can't find anything to say one way or the other.  For now, I'm going to keep it as is with a big tag at the top of the section, since it's pointless to change it to anything else when we can't cite that either.  -- NORTH talk 01:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I think that we should acknowledge the existence of the route numbering project, but leave it at that. The ODOT route list cites dates of establishment of the route numbers and posting status as of May 2005. Dan ad nauseam 03:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

 * You're totally right. 2002 was a special session of the legislature and they did not address the issue. The 2001 session was a regular session and no bills for that year refer to the numbering/naming of state highways. --Katt 07:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I just noticed that someone is propagating this error on individual route pages. Can the editors do something about this? Dan ad nauseam 22:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I have them all on my watchlist and haven't noticed anything. Are you just referring to when the articles were originally created?  If so, then yes, those probably need to be fixed. -- NORTH talk 01:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Quite possibly. I noticed it on the OR 551 page, which appears to be an original error. Dan ad nauseam 20:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've edited this section on the main page. Dan ad nauseam 21:16, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

State route naming conventions poll/Part2
This state's highway naming convention is up for debate above. Feel free to participate. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs)  05:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Flagging of OR 173
Can someone take a look at OR 173 and figure out why it got flagged? 01:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Do you mean the confusing tag that the anon added? It must be because in the intro it says that it is Route 173, and later it says it is Highway 173. Katr67 01:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Looking at the IPs talk page and contributions, I think it would be fine to remove the tags, since no reason for the tagging was given in the first place. -- NORTH talk 02:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

OR 569
Just thought I should mention that Beltline Road in Eugene is currently being signed as OR 569. Might be good to add that and make an article. 67.171.228.14 23:00, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Updated References
With ODOT reissuing its Route Descriptions in 2007, we need to update the articles referencing the prior log. Dan ad nauseam (talk) 08:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
