Talk:Alan Sokal

message: I removed the following:
:Mr. Sokal perished on January 26, 2004, from a lengthy illness. 
Since I couldn't find any confirmation of this (important) detail. Of course, re-add this is you find a reputable source. Maximus Rex 02:26, 27 Jan 2004 (UTC)

text: Nonetheless, Sokal's fellow scientists generally consider the "Sokal affair" as having demonstrably shown cultural studies and related fields to be "bunk". 
This is certainly not Sokal's opinion, and it's a gross overgeneralization of what scientists think. A more detailed discussion about what scientists think and what they don't think about cultural studies might be added to Science wars, but here it sounds like a strawman argument against Sokal. -- Zumbo 08:52, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

message: About the bit:
"Sokal followed up by co-authoring the book Fashionable Nonsense with Jean Bricmont in 1998 (originally published in French, a year before, as Impostures Intellectuelles)."
It sounds really odd to me. You cannot co-author a book wich has already been published, can you? I think its intention is:
"Sokal followed up by co-authoring the book Impostures Intellectuelles with Jean Bricmont in 1997 (published in English, a year later, as Fashionable Nonsense)."
Any objection to the change? --euyyn 00:29, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: "Anyone who believes that the laws of physics are mere social conventions is invited to try transgressing those conventions from the windows of my apartment. (I live on the twenty-first floor.)"
Is it really necessary to mention this embarassing quote of the otherwise sensible Sokal? He must've had a bad day when saying this. He clearly confused the notions of physical phenomenon and physical law describing a physical phenomenon. The phenomenon is "an object falls faster and faster" while the law is "an object will fall according to Einstein's Theory of Relativity" (or Newton's etc). Not even the most bonehard postmodernist will claim that the physical phenomenon of faster and faster falling bodies is a social convention. I'll try to find the source where he regrets the quote. // Jens Persson (193.10.117.88 (talk) 15:25, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

On the other hand, the version (as I last checked it) kept the matter as one held by an individual believer, and I feel that is accurate, as you clearly feel the way you do, and probably many people feel the way they do (variously), about God.

Talk:Ted Bundy

message: Introduction contains a grammatical error: "He would then luring her to a vehicle parked in a more secluded area (...)" 
This should say "lure" or "begin luring"
Besides this minor error, the whole paragraph is worded strangely. I suggest "her" be replaced with neutral terms such as "his victims" or "the victim" etc.

Bundy often employed charm to disguise his murderous intent when kidnapping victims, and with law enforcement, the media and the criminal justice system to maintain his claims of innocence.
Perhaps a word is missing. In any case, I think it needs to be addressed, but I don't know how to fix it, because I'm really not sure what it's trying to say. I've added a Clarify tag to it. LibreLearner (talk) 01:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

He waited there 3 Days so everyone went ahead could come back and those left behind could reach up. Then made a pulpit of saddles of camel and horses, then stood upon it and said 'man kunto maula fa haza aliyun maula' which means whomsoevers' master/leader I am, Ali(a.s.) is their master/leader too.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article currently reads: "Couperin's grand trio sonata was subtitled Le Parnasse, ou l'Apothéose de Corelli... In it he blended the Italian and French styles of music in a set of pieces which he called Les Goûts réunis..." This is v. clumsily worded; it amounts to an error. Les Gouts-reunis is a completely different work from the Apotheosis -- it's a collection of suites. This extremely unclear and should be amended. (For example, the "It is" could be deleted and the sentence could read, "He blended the Italian and French styles of music in works such as this and Les Gouts-reunis ..." etc. etc. or something like that. (I'm not a Couperin scholar so I don't feel secure making such changes myself.)

thread_title: Gouts-reunis confusion

message: The article reads
"They influenced J.S. Bach who adopted the fingering system, including the use of the thumb, that Couperin set forth."
This sentence implies three concepts. All of them are untrue:
1. There is no evidence that Bach was influenced by F.Couperin's treatise.
2. Publications by Prof. Lindley decades ago proved that Bach's fingering system was NOT (in spite of affirmations by CPE Bach on the contrary) based on the passage of the thumb.
3. F. Couperin's treatise fingers scales crossing fingers, thumb is used only for ascending left hand.
This matter has been researched and reviewed: see 
http://finger.braybaroque.ie/
It is highly desirable that the François Couperin wiki article is amended as per the above comments.
