This ESA article says that a Rosetta Disc was mounted on the Rosetta (spacecraft).Though the inscriptions do not seem to look like the published pictures of the rosetta disc on this page and the Long Now foundations webpages.

Talk:Mahavira

message: Wouldn't it make more sense to have as the main infobox picture a photo of a temple statue of Mahavira? It would be more representative of the subject, since the statues/icons as per John E Cort (and many others) are supposed to represent the transhuman perfection of the liberated Tirthankaras. Closer at hand for the purposes of Wikipedia, it would also be the most familiar image of Mahavira: or at least more familiar than the present one. Even a painted image of Mahavira in either padmasana or karyotsarga (the standing pose) would be more representative than the current image, which strikes me as an obscure, strange choice. 103.211.18.45 (talk) 21:59, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

message: "Mahavira is erroneously called the founder of Jainism, but Jains believe that the 23 previous tirthankaras also espoused it." - This belief does nothing to inform the reader whether or not historically speaking, Mahavira was the founder of the religion. Setting Jain tradition, literature, cosmogony, and theology aside, do historians generally hold that Mahavira founded Jainism? If so, I believe this should be included in the lead.

replies: text: On Wikipedia, discussions are supposed to be on improving articles. So, this is not the type of discussion that should happen here. --Hob Gadling (talk) 11:26, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know if it would "improve" the article in any way, though given the (supposed) subject matter, a point on magnetic monopoles couldn't damage the page much either. But at least it would add additional humor which helps one enjoy a page on a subject that probably doesn't actually exist anyway! So I'd be happy for 50.206.176.154 to post any such material into the article and I'll happily watch the subsequent fireworks from afar ;-) Interferometrist (talk) 18:06, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

text: I appreciate your comments, but improving the article does not involve editors discussing their personal opinions or experiences. We start with reliable sources. So unless someone can come up with those sources, any discussion here is not only moot, it's contrary to talk page guidelines. Sundayclose (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand the guidelines. That is why I raised the original question. So that the discussion could take place where it provided an opportunity for improving Wikipedia's presentation of knowledge. I related this experience simply to say that there are curiosities which when studied, point toward relationships between otherwise unexplained phenomena that could shed light on the other. So where does Wikipedia want this discussion to take place if not in Talk?  50.206.176.154 (talk) 02:49, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:List of 2003 California recall candidates

message: Most of the people on this list shouldnt be wikied. Theyre not famous enough. --Jiang
There's no need to decide that question when making the page now.
If they're famous, write an article someday; if not, let the link stay red forever.
There's no shame in that!
More importantly, any of these people might become famous some decades later; then having a link here now will only help.
After some time, we might revisit the issue, once we know that nobody else on this list will ever be famous since they're dead.
But by then, our standards for coverage may be very different anyway.
Again, no need to make the decision while writing this page now.
-- Toby Bartels
The entire list is open to inclusion. Is there a reason, in what purports to be a complete list, to not be complete? -- RayKiddy
I see no reason to have a partial list. I also think it's POV of us to link the "major" candidates. We have no real basis that we're going by. LDan 02:14, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Our basis is that we do not have articles on non-famous people and subjects we cannot find enough independently verifiable information on to substantiate more than a stub. I'm sure enough info will surface on at least some of the unknowns by the end of the election to warrent having separate articles on those people. Until then we should only link to the notables. --mav

I restored the list (which User:Stevertigo had deleted with a comment about copyvio). The information is in simple alphabetical order, as issued by the California Secretary of State. As such, SFGATE has no copyright claim on it. (If the very minimal descriptions are copyrighted, remove those, but not the names and party affiliations.) Vicki Rosenzweig 21:43, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)

What exactly are you saying comes from SFGate?

Talk:Albanians

message: Based on the definition of nation, which one can read on Wikipedia, the Albanians constitute a nation. I have made this edit as an addition.

replies: text: You just copy-pasted what another added at another article. Btw the Cham-claimed figure of 35,000 is ludicrous, since the actual number of Muslim Chams was just 20,000-25,000 in all of Epirus. Khirurg (talk) 03:25, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, as soon as I saw what Maleschrieber posted on Expulsion of Cham Albanians I decided to copy-paste that here. It's a good, succinct way to describe the multi-faceted reality of the Cham expulsion in line with WP:NPOV. The 35,000 figure may indeed be excessive, so remove that if you like.

Talk:Soka Gakkai

message: Not sure we want to include new links to pages that are being evaluated for their validity. The pages related to Nichiren Shoshu and Taisekiji are largely unsourced "original research"; or the citations are to the subject's own websites - both violations of WP policy. --Daveler16 (talk) 04:20, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links 

message: This applies to other sections, but the most prominent one in my mind is the one that reads:
"Soka Gakkai has long been a subject of criticism in the Japanese weekly tabloid news/magazine press. Press criticism of the Soka Gakkai should be seen against the backdrop of negative press coverage of new religious movements in general. It is important to understand that Japanese journalism is unlike that of the West. Scholars point out that less than two percent of journalists in Japan have degrees in journalism. That plus feeble libel laws leave little recourse for the victims of malicious defamation. Associate Professor of Religion at Hamilton College, Richard Seager writes that it is time to cease being overly intrigued by the Soka Gakkai’s history of controversy. “Over the course of a relatively short period, the Soka Gakkai moved from the margins of Japanese society into its mainstream.”"
This seems like way too much analysis for an encyclopedia entry. I'd trim this down to something like:
"Soka Gakkai has been subject to criticism in Japanese weekly tabloid news/magazine press, but current scholarship shows them being more in the mainstream of Japanese society than in its margins."

While Sting adopted his stage name in homage to Stig and to create in our minds a connection between the two, the similarities dissapear with the "N". Stig Anderson eclipses the pale imitation that is Sting in every way; while Stig is an intellectual giant, an humanitarian, a talented lyricist and songwriter and incredibly handsome, Sting is none of the above. You may call Stig the Polar Opposite, as he is the white to the pale blackness that is Sting.
