Talk:Natya Shastra of Bharata

message: I dont know how people can just hijack sanskrit terms and fit it to their fanciful notions of tradition.
I am aware that this is being done by many experts on dance, but I prefer to use the term strictly according to its sanskrit meaning. This has implications for the language of sanskrit, and to its interpretation in the future. This term is used in many ancient work , we however have no proof that the reference has always been to Bharata's work.

replies: text: This comment is very old, and Hurricane Devon is long gone, but I thought that I should comment.  Hurricane Devon is hung up on a semantics issue.  Astronomers do not try to differentiate among "cloud", "group", and "subgroup".  The real question is whether the M66 and M96 Groups are one or two gravitationally bound objects.  The two groups are physically close to each other, but it is unclear as to whether they are gravitationally bound to each other, so it is unclear whether they comprise one object.  Most (but not all) group identification studies (which simply examine how close galaxies are to each other in identifying groups) list the M66 Group and M96 Group as two separate objects, so Wikipedia should probably list them as two separate objects.  Nonetheless, both articles should also indicate that the two groups may or may not be part of a larger group.  GeorgeJBendo 22:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Free variation

message: How does free variation compare to doublets? Should it be mentioned in the article? 77.85.7.45 (talk) 12:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Doublets

message: The article says:
"...free variation is exceedingly common and along with differing intonation patterns is the most important single feature in the characterising of regional accents."
This may be true, but I have never heard it.  At any rate, it needs a citation.  (And since I have never heard it, I'm afraid I can't provide a citation.  Mcswell 20:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have the kind of book handy which would give a citation, but I can assure you it is true.  Let's suppose an Englishman, a Scot, an American and an Australian all say the same single-syllable word.  That is hardly enough to have identifiable intonation patterns, but you can already tell the accents because the vowels are placed differently. That's free variation. --Doric Loon 21:47, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well... except it isn't really free variation. It's variation conditioned by dialect. Free variation, I thought, is when the two sounds in question can vary freely within a given dialect, or even idiolect. —Angr/talk 21:52, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Interesting.  As soon as I get to my office I can certainly give you a citation for "free variation" being defined as both variation within an idiolect and variation between speakers including between dialects; i.e. all allophonic variation which is not complimentary distribution. I believe the the author is Schulz, and the book is called something like Englische Phonetik und Phonologie, but I will find it. I must admit, it always bothered me that the same term was being used for what are obviously quite different things, so possibly my source is not a good one.  (If I remember correctly, he only uses free variation when talking about allophones, though other people use it for phonemic variation too.) --Doric Loon 08:42, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know if you think we should add any more languages than English, but Greek includes this feature very often. Indeed, as the consonant clusters mp, nt and wk (μπ, ντ, γκ) slowly changed in Late Ancient Greek, they have now two alternative forms, either b (μπ), d (ντ) and g (γκ) or mb (μπ), nd (ντ), and ng (γκ).

message: As far as I can tell this is a rather minor event in the community history of a video game. Does Wikipedia really need this article? 81.151.88.192 13:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Minor? This was a heavily hyped up "film" done by a "professional marketing agency" based on the then (and still) ultra-hot property that is Half-Life, hence coverage from sources such as Blue's News and CNET thanks to all the promoting from the game's then-publisher Sierra and the questionable Cruise Control itself. (The many other sources covering this topic have since vanished, which considering that this did happen eight years ago, is not too surprising.) When the awaited date of release came, the movie was conspicuously absent, apparently because Sierra and Valve somewhat regretted the end result. Then came the infamous and controversial release made anyway without permission, thus leading to the rather poor general reception and bringing about all the legal backlash. This caused quite a stir way back when, and understandably so. I honestly don't see the question of notability. This is, in fact, a very real film that created a lot of publicity and controversy in 1999, and it still continues to be referenced even until today. MarphyBlack 18:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The following cooments were added by an anonomous user to the page concering the new flag: 
:This vote is highly controversial amongst Islanders, because you could only vote if you bought a copy of the local paper and sent in the voting slip printed inside, photocopies of the voting slip were not allowed effectively forcing you to pay to vote. many Island residents are unhappy with the choice of flag. There were only 160 votes and the winning design won by 3 votes.
I have removed it as, while I have sympathy for this view (might I add the vote was on a shortlist of four designs and not all submitted entries) it is annecdotal, and needs a source.

:The classifications here come from the NASA?IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED), which itself relies on the Reference Catalogue of Galaxies, Third Edition (RC3) by de Vaucouleurs et al.  Both NED and RC3 give reliable Hubble classifications used widely within the professional astronomical community.  Although Sandage is also well-respected for his galaxy classification work and other extragalactic work, his catalogs are currently not used as much as NED or RC3.

message: Another editor reverted my removal of :Category:School killings in the United States from the :Category:Virginia Tech massacre, and I would contest his/her assertion that the cat is not redundant. I suppose it could come down to a definition of "school". The category :Category:Virginia Tech massacre is already part of :Category:University shootings. 
By my definition, a "University", although a seat of learning, is not a "school", thus it can only be included in one and not the other. However, if a Uni IS considered a school, then the :Category:University shootings should belong in the :Category:School killings in the United States, and there would still be no need for the category to further appear in :Category:Virginia Tech massacre or Virginia Tech massacre.

Talk:Overseas Tankship (UK) Ltd v The Miller Steamship Co

message: I removed these passages from the article:
:==Opinion of the Council==
:The council found that a reasonable person in the shoes of the ship's engineer would have been aware of the risk of fire. Since the gravity of the potential damage was so great there is no excuse for allowing the oil to be discharged.  A "reasonable man" would only neglect a risk of such a potentially great magnitude if he had a reason to do so, e.g. if it was cost prohibitive.  
:==Implications and analysis==
:This idea may be seen to bring the concept or formula of negligence originally proposed by Learned Hand in United States v. Carroll Towing Co. 159 F.2d 169 (2d Cir. 1947) within the realm of legal causation.  Such a formulation of the issue has struck some in the field as an argument along the lines typically made in the Law & Economics camp usually seen to be represented by Judge Posner.
I don't think they're correct and thought it better the article said nothing than gave incorrect information. I'll check the case and sort out the article hopefully later today. Crebbin 10:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: -- I don't think that's correct. The so-called 'calculus of negligence' (I think that case is quoted in US contexts as an analysis of calculus of negligence) generally refers to reasonable forseeability in the determination of what an appropriate standard of care is, that is, what is the proper duty of care, and whether a defendant has met it. Reasonable forseeability in the Wagon Mound cases is about whether a particular damage is reasonably forseeable as a consequence of the negligence. This means that this question must necessarily arise only after a breach, whereas the first question arises even before a breach is established. The Wagon Mound cases simply changed the law from directness as the test for remoteness (Re Polemis) to reasonable forseeability. --121.44.120.25 (talk) 16:19, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
