Talk:Mafia (party game)

message: The recent change from "Mafia Party Game" to "Werewolf (social deduction game)" is literally changing the wiki page around the history of a great game. 
I suggest to change it from "Werewolf (social deduction game)" to "Mafia (social deduction game)".
Reasons:
* Mafia is the original name of the game created by Dmitry Davidoff
* "Werewolf, also known as Mafia, is a social deduction game created by Dmitry Davidoff in 1986" - wrong statement. Werewolf is created by Plotkin, Mafia by Dmitry Davidoff. There was no Werewolf game in 1986
* The idea about that the Werewolf is more popular has no evidence
* The History section starts with talking about Mafia game specifically  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.77.240.237 (talk) 23:52, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Shouldn't all "One Night Variant" be removed, too? It has BGG as a source... That's why I sourced it at the first place!

replies: text:  The Geographic Names Board includes The Rocks as part of the suburb of Millers Point, so technically it is not a suburb in itself. However, mail addresseed to The Rocks is delivered, and it appears as its own subdivision in the UBD and Gregorys.

Talk:Stata Center

message: Possible Adds:
* The design of the building was completely redone, when the MIT administration decided to add a two-story underground parking garage, making three below ground levels. Scuttlebutt around the MIT Campus, is that this added $100 million to the cost, and diverted funds from a planned upgrade of the Central Power Plant and it's distribution system, which would have lowered their operating costs.  The Central Power Plant is among the most sophisticated in the world, using co-generation to produce electricity and steam, and the steam to produce cooling water.  Discussion of this from citations would be a good add to the article.
*MIT considered several other architects, and had preliminary plans from at least one other firm, that was much more in keeping with the usual boxy functionalism of MIT's buildings.  Documenting this would be hard, but would be a fascinating add to the article.  Ex-President Vest has spoken publicly several times on being the tie-breaking vote.  Quite possible that one or more of these were videotaped, and are on the web somewhere inside *.mit.edu.
* Add the other occupants of the Stata Center.  E.g. the state of the art child care facility
* Describe the student street, and it's occupants and uses.
* Describe the multi-level exterior terraces.
* Careful readings of available sources would allow quality additions to this article.  They include:
**Joyce's, Mitchell's, and Silber's books.  The bibliographies (Joyce does not have one, the others might) in these books, could provide more source material.
**Tech Talk, and The Tech - the administration and chief student newspapers at MIT.
**The reviews in the architectural and engineering journals.
**There have to be others!

Talk:Arteriole

message: I didn't know this article existed. I will slowly work on it to link it with smooth muscle and my goals I've outlined on the talk there. Need to mention how vasoregulation variies in different vascular beds:brain, skeletal muscle, lungs, etc. These resistant vessels' tone and vasomotion are critical in regulating blood flow and pressure. O.K. need to explain how generally oxygen is vasoconstictive and carbon dioxide vasodilatory, except arterioles in lungs just reverse as high oxygen causes vasodilation (for obvious reasons). Note how generally norepinphrine and epinephrine cause vasoconstriction via alpha-adrenergic receptors. However, vessels in skeletal muscle and heart vasodilate because they possess beta-adrenergic receptors. Brain arterioles sensitive to pH. Need to mention specialized arterioles such as in kidneys. Perhaps mention biomechanical studies of arterioles like Mulvany and Halpern with wire myographs and now pressurized vessel studies. Technically pretty cool running wires through arterioles of 100 u or less (done it myself). Of course some Japanese researchers have attached force transducers to single smooth muscle cells. Jeez unbelievable.

Category talk:Musical compositions

message: I know it's just a stub, but it bothered me. :) Maybe this will make it to the article.
A musical composition is a piece of original music designed for repeated performance (as opposed to strictly improvisational music, in which each performance is unique). The music may be preserved in memory, or through a written system of notation. Compositions include songs to be performed by human voices, usually including lyrics, as well as pieces written for other musical instruments.
I took issue with improvisation being somehow inferior as a compositional technique, viewing it as an outdated, nearly colonial attitude to culture in music. The last sentence is also far too narrow for an overall definition of composition.
Musical composition may also refer to the process by which a piece of music is originated. People who practice composition are called composers. Useful skills in composition include writing musical notation, instrumentation, and handling musical ensembles (orchestration).
I added to this, again, to reflect a broader perspective on composition.
Compositional techniques are methods used to create and alter material. In discussing the structure or organization of a musical work, the "composition" of that work is generally called its musical form. 
I elaborated on technique a bit, including examples.
Important in much musical composition or musical form is the scale for the notes used, including the mode and tonic note. Whereas when playing or reading music, only the key signature (set of notes in scale) matters. In music using twelve tone techniques the tone row is even more comprehensive a factor than a scale.
This exposed a bias toward Western musical composition. I reworded it to try and make it more inclusive, as well as adding other examples of composition.
If I have time, I might write this article. Maybe. --JEMathews 23:00, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revision of stub 

message: I created :Category:Recorded music in ignorance of this discussion, and it should in hindsight be discussed here. 
It seemed to fill a gap. The earliest singles weren't really seen as singles AFAIK, as the concept of an album wasn't well established until later. Or was it? Neither of these articles actually give a date, but :Category:Singles by year starts with :Category:1939 singles, nothing earlier yet. Comments welcome. Andrewa 09:44, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Category Recorded music

message: Just like Compositions by composer and Compositions by instrument, i would like new subcategories, for maintaining a clean category:
* Compositions by genre -  then here can be moved: suites, sonatas, ouvertures, rags, inceidental music...
* Compositions by style - moved: jazz compositions, twelve tone compositions, serial compositions, ...
Good idea?

Talk:Mental health law

message: --82.28.60.228 16:13, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I feel that this article is a bit misleading. There are aspects of the law dealing with mental health beyond statutes about treatment and restraint of mentally ill persons. In common law jurisdictions, there are available to defendants in criminal cases the defences of insanity as well as sane and insane automatism, both of which could be regarded as falling within the umbrella of mental health law, but are not necessarily codified. They are codified in my state, but only because there is a criminal code. However, more in keeping with the current text of this article, we also have statutes dealing with the powers of courts to send defendants for assessment for fitness to stand trial, making hospital orders etc. I will research and try to add to this article. - Mark 08:14, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear Mark, exactly why I wanted a lawyer to look at the article and many thanks for doing so. I didn't even know if "codify" was used correctly. In creating this stub I wanted to unify aspects of the law that related to mental health to create an entry point for anyone interested in that area. At the time I only thought of the provisions that one usually finds in a mental health act. However, as you so correctly point out, McNaghten rules, mens rea and a host of other legal issues are also part of this.  I have gone around the law articles adding "Mental health law" as a category to those articles I have found. I have reworded the main article but please do so yourself, or indeed anyone else. I have made a link to automatism (law) which is currently empty. The link to automatism refers to a technique in literature. If you have the time you might want to create an entry for that. --CloudSurfer 19:02, 23 Sep 2004 (UTC)
