thread_title:  Critical theory and immigration 

message: The article is talking about two separate theories that just happen to use the same terminology. Frankfurt School's "Critical Theory" and the sociological "critical theories" informed by French philosophy are separate. They should be split into two articles, because right now the article feels schizophrenic talking about two topics at the same time. Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confused subject 

message: >A critical theory is any approach to humanities and social philosophy that focuses on society and culture to attempt to reveal, critique, and challenge power structures. With roots in sociology and literary criticism, it argues that social problems stem more from social structures and cultural assumptions rather than from individuals.[citation needed] Some hold it to be an ideology, others argue that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation. Critical theory finds applications in various fields of study, including psychoanalysis, film theory, literary theory, cultural studies, history, communication theory, philosophy, and feminist theory.
How would a theory of social philosophy attempt to use literary criticism to reveal power structures? It reads like word salad.

Talk:Centrifugal force (rotating reference frame)

message: There are various warnings not to confuse various forces: Centrifugal force, Reactive centrifugal force, Centripetal force, Centrifugal force (rotating reference frame). There is however no discussion of the distinction between these various phenomenon. --Kvng (talk) 20:46, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not to be confused with 

message: Yep.  We have here a misleading article title, and misleading wording that implies that a reference frame's rotation results in centrifugal force/pseudoforce.  Rather, it's the centripetal acceleration of the frame (or object) that results in such forces.  The centripetal acceleration of the frame (stated in an inertial frame) is proportional to the rate of change of the direction of the velocity vector (also stated in the same inertial frame).  Thus, if the rate of rotation of anything matters, it's the rate of rotation of the direction of the velocity vector, not the rotation rate of the frame.
I grant that, in most usual cases (such as ball-on-string), the most common frame is attached to the object (ball) and is also rotating along with the object.  The rotation rate of the frame in these cases is the same as the rotation rate of the direction of the velocity vector, but that's only incidental.  It's the rate of change of the direction of the velocity vector that makes for the centrifugal forces here.  If the frame was still attached to the ball, but was chosen to rotate at twice or three times the rate of the velocity vector, or if it was chosen to not rotate at all, it would not effect the magnitude of the centrifugal force, nor would it effect the actual direction of the centrifugal force.  Such an independently-rotating frame would have different numbers representing the direction of the centrifugal force, but the actual direction (or magnitude) of the centrifugal force at any particular moment would not vary with rotation rate of the frame.
We should not muddle-together the movement of a frame (such as in a circle about a point) with rotation of the frame.  They are two different things that can be independent.  If we don't keep that in mind, it leads to fallacies.

Talk:Christmas in Poland

message: The information in that section is false and conflicts with the rest of the article (parts that are sourced). There were also no sources. It seems to suggest that the Polish Święty Mikołaj is exactly the same as the American Santa Clause. Both share a common origin, but they differ. For example this section said that Święty Mikołaj came both on the 6th and 24th. This is false as the it is stated in other parts of the article multiple times (even the intro!) that the Gwiazdka brings presents on the 24th. Also the stocking tradition is a totally American one. I suspect that the author of the section was raised in a Polish-American home, where traditions were very mixed and did not realize this.

thread_title:  Organic light-emitting diode 

message: Visual display unit redirects here; this was done around 2009, when CRT monitors were still in somewhat common use. There was perhaps some confusion with the very similar term Video display unit (that latter term, which unlike the former, to me implies only raster displays but not vector displays) and the parent of both, Electronic visual display. There are analog and digital versions of each, of course.
Are there other uses (current and/or historical) of that term (e.g. for radar display screens connected  pre-computer analog RADAR systems) that would justify either (at least a stub) article or a disambiguation page at VDU / Visual display unit?

Talk:Data compression

message: What is block compression?
I feel that readers who see the phrase "block compression" and look it up on Wikipedia should be directed to an article that at least mentions "block compression",
in accordance with our WP:R#ASTONISH guideline.
Currently Wikipedia redirects that phrase to this data compression article,
which never mentions the phrase "block compression".
What is the best way to comply with that guideline:
(a) Mention "block compression" in this "data compression" article?
(b) Re-point that redirect to some other article that mentions "block compression"? Or
(c) Change that redirect into an article about block compression?
In my experience with embedded systems and GPU-accelerated graphics processing,
"block compression" usually refers to
a kind of image compression that
divides up a raster image into fixed-sized square blocks of pixels (typically 4x4 pixels),
and compresses each block into a fixed-size block of coding bits.
For example,
"Block Compression 2" (BC2) is apparently part of the S3 Texture Compression de-facto standard for GPU texture compression.
Block Truncation Coding (BTC) has been used in spacecraft image transmission.
I see that "block compression" previously redirected to the discrete cosine transform (DCT) article, which at least mentions "block compression".
The people who wrote that article describe "block compression"
as a slightly different kind of image compression that
divides a raster image into fixed-size square blocks of pixels (typically 8x8 pixels),
and compresses each block (using a discrete cosine transform) into a variable-sized block of coding bits.
--DavidCary (talk) 19:50, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This can refer to a 1 dimensional (e.g. 512 samples of audio) or 2 dimensional (e.g.  pixel section of an image) block of data. Most data compression algorithms operate on a block basis so redirecting here seems to be the right choice. It would be ideal if "block compression" appeared in the article though I don't immediately see a good way to add that. There are no incoming links from the Block compression redirect so the only source of potential confusion would be from readers searching for the term directly. ~Kvng (talk) 18:36, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

message: The useful content of the /whacking page (as opposed to the tongue-in-cheek content) has been removed to the main page.
Please, we musn't let Wikipedia slide into an Everything2-style humor project.  It isn't one.  It's an encyclopedia project. --LMS

I put the whacking page in there as an explanatory note. From my reading of US literature it is my understanding that "whacking" means something entirely different in the US than it does in the UK. For UK readers of course it just clutters the text who already know what it means. 
Phil Lord

That makes sense to me. --LMS

The fact that this is a "Britishism" just turned on a light for me.  In The Beatles song, "Maxwell's Silver Hammer," there is a background commentary vocal line that goes, "in his life there's something lacking.  What he needs is a damn good whacking."  This, in American English would simply refer to a good old-fashioned spanking.  Though the implication of the line is not really changed by that understanding, it is interesting to note that a common and specific term is being used, not just something colorful to rhyme with "lacking."  I am, no doubt, the only person on the planet who cares about this... -- Isn't the line from "Piggies" instead?
It is from "Piggies," courtesy George Harrison, inspiration to colorful figures like Charles Manson.  :-) --KQ
:Whacking refers to corporal punishment, perhaps spanking, in the Piggies song. I am not sure what a /whacking page is in Wikipedia terms. Otherwise, typically, Whacking is used as an adverb in UK slang to imply a large amount of to another adverb. It also can be synonymous with wanking. Group29 (talk) 18:38, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
