Talk:The Case of Wagner

message: Please help expand this page - I am attempting to fill in remaining blank entries on Nietzsche's works.  I have attempted to follow the basic outline from The Antichrist (book). RobLinwood 05:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Since there is much ignorance regarding the unread Schopenhauer, the article cannot reflect Nietzsche's main criticism of Wagner. Wagner, after reading Schopenhauer, wrote operas featuring the denial of the will to live. This reflected Schopenhauer's contention that absence of willing results in goodness and release from the world's evil. Nietzsche rejected Schopenhauer's doctrine and wanted to promote life regardless of its evil characteristics. He opposed Wagner's later operas with their death wishes, Christian compassion, and self sacrifices.Lestrade (talk) 02:19, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Nietzsche did not write this book to criticize Wagner's involvement with the Völkisch movement or with antisemitism. Nietzsche's references to Bizet were not ironic [real meaning that is the opposite of apparent meaning]. One of Nietzsche's main criticisms, in this book, was of Wagner's emphasis on theatrical drama rather than on pure music. Schopenhauer had given music supreme importance and value in his aesthetics and Nietzsche was strongly influenced by Schopenhauer's philosophy of music.Lestrade (talk) 00:26, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Off the mark

message: Why are "philosophical affect" and "disease" enclosed in quotation marks? What is a "philosophical affect"? When used as a noun, "affect" means "feeling" or "emotion." Is the article referring to a "philosophical feeling" or "philosophical emotion"? That is a strange concept.Lestrade (talk) 02:18, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Federalist No. 68

message: I've only begun working on editing this page, though any help would be gratefully accepted.  Among the aspects I want to focus upon that I have not covered yet:
*The Constitutional Convention's take on the selection of the President (ie how the Framers got to the Electoral College as a means of selection, as this was one of the more controversial points of contention)
*The Anti-Federalist argument, as outlined in Anti-Federalist 72.
*Changes in the conception over time (this section may not be needed, though there should be some focus on contemporary research) 
Let me know if you can help in any way. Jlove1982 06:13, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, nice work!  Here are some suggestions:
*add a second paragraph to the introduction giving an overview of the contents and some context, something like "The convention was arguing about what method to use to select the President, and considered direct election, state-appointed electors, election by the Senate...(etc.).  Hamilton forcefully advocated a plan, eventually adopted by the Convention, that essentially became the modern electoral college, winning favor over the competing ideas of John Doe, Frank Doe, etc.  A counter-essay, written by X under the name Y, criticized Hamilton's views as "elitist" (or whatever).
*change the first section from "History" to "Background."  Add information not just about the Convention, but also why they were having a convention and why they cared about choosing the Chief Executive in any particular way.  "Prior to 1788, the young United States was governed under the Articles of Confederation, which proved too unwieldy to allow effective management of the growing nation.  Delegates convened in Philadelphia to draft a new Constitution, however, the anti-royal sentiments that in part had underpinned the American Revolution manifested themselves as opposition to an unduly strong Chief Executive...."

thread_title:  The Makeup of Federalist 68 

message: A pretty significant section was added in December to this article. It needs a pretty heavy edit for grammar and tone. I also am not certain all of this addition belongs here, they seem to mainly critiques on the Electoral College and not Federalist 68, I would think these items might belong there, if they are to remain. I personally find the citations a bit lacking and find the Flaws section in particular to be some pretty heavy editorializing. --WGFinley (talk) 00:52, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Searles Valley and Trona, separate places 

message: I am noticing many articles on Wikipedia that give an incorrect description of California State Route 178 (SR178) and I believe it stems from the inaccuracies shown in many USGS topo maps including the most recent. The official source for a California designated state route should be the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Here is a link to their official description of SR178:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/dist9/planning/docs/tcr_sr178.pdf
It is clearly stated that the constructed portion of SR178 ends at Pinnacle Road, which is at least 5 miles south of Trona. This Wikipedia article is incorrect where it states that Trona is "on" SR178. Although the roadway Trona is on is still called Trona Road before and after SR178 ends, Trona is not on SR178 portion. This error becomes more pronounced in other articles describing areas north of Trona where there are no state routes until SR190 near Panamint Springs. 
I recommend a comprehensive "cleanup" of all Wikipedia articles with this error. Mcsew2k (talk) 22:53, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Photo

message: As I noted in my edit summaries, there are multiple issues with your recent edits (), not the least of which is that they do not adhere to WP:NPOV. For example, we cannot say in wikipedia's voice that Joseph Smith "restored" the church, which would violate NPOV. We can say he organized it, which is NPOV and verifiable, and this is the pattern that we follow because of NPOV on all the other churches in the Latter Day Saint movement. Also, your edit on "restored doctrine" is similarly problematic. It could be more NPOV by changing "revealed doctrine" to "their interpretation of scripture", and I will try making that change here shortly. With regards to the redlinks for Terry W. Patience, it would be a lot easier if we had multiple independent sources, meaning non-church sources, about him to establish his notability. It would also be a lot easier if another editor had not recreated the article multiple times despite the deletion discussion, the response to which is that the article cannot be created now without significant bureaucratic efforts. Per WP:BRD, please self-revert and discuss here on the talk page so that a consensus can be reached before re-inserting the challenged edits. --FyzixFighter (talk) 13:41, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

:It is the site of the Donagh Cross, which was said to have been visited by St. Patrick.
This is unfortunately not correct as the cross is from the 7th century or a later period and came therefore at least two centuries after St. Patrick. However, according to the Trias Thaumaturga by John Colgan, 1647, we know that Donagh is a foundation by St. Patrick for Bishop Mac Cairthen, brother of the bishop of Clogher.

Template talk:Neighborhoods in Dallas

message: I am working to edit a number of neighborhood pages for Dallas. What is show on this box is really not the best descriptor of neighborhoods. To me, there are "macro neighborhoods," (East Dallas, North Dallas, Southeast Dallas, West Dallas, South Dallas, Oak Cliff, Lakewood, etc.) and within each of those are "micro neighborhoods," or actual neighborhoods like Junius Heights, Perry Heights, Winnetka Heights, etc. May I propose that, as part of a revamp I am going to do to the list of Dallas neighborhoods, that we simply catagorize neighborhoods by "North, South, East, and West," and then link those to pages listing the neighborhoods? May I also propose that we add the city's eight residential historic districts to this box, in lieu of some of the other neighborhoods? 
I would like to create and maintain a Dallas Neighborhoods Portal that will eventually work on this. I have been research assistant to a good friend who is working on a book on subdivision development in Dallas. He is dealing with a Wikipedia block right now because of some issues on the Swiss Avenue article, but he is VinceLeibowitz and will probably be back on here when they get the issue with his block resolved.

Talk:Cornu (horn)

message: The cornu and the buccina (or bucina) were two similar but distinct instruments. The cornu was a species of horn with a wide, conical bore. The buccina was a species of trumpet with a narrower, cylindrical bore. The extract from Vegetius makes it clear that they were not simply different names for the same instrument.
(Buccina is the more accurate spelling, as the name of the instrument derives from the Latin word bucca, “cheek”.)

replies: text: Yes, the merge suggestion is not a good one. To dot our T's and cross our I's, in the original Latin, the passage in Vegetius, what is rendered "cornet" in the quote given in this article in English is in fact cornu: yes, they were distinct, although of the same family. Bill 12:07, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

text: We're getting thrown off by the translation. The three were the bucina, cornu and tuba. The trumpet is actually associated with the bucina from which it derived by adding the valves. The Romans did not have those valves. For the combination, well, a single article on Roman military brass might be developed. Whoever does it though has to pay attention to the vocabulary and somehow solve the translation problem. Those words developed into other concepts in mediaeval and later times. Also ideally the author should consult whatever sources printed or online on the archaeology. There are quite a few instances of those instruments.Dave 10:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cornu and Buccina

message: Were cornu and buccina rather similar? Vegetius is quite specific about the difference between the two. According to him (book III chapter 5) the buccina is a curved brass/bronze (aereus) instrument and the cornu is made from (the horns of) uruses with silver fittings ("Semiuocalia sunt quae per tubam aut cornu aut bucinam dantur; tuba quae directa est appellatur; bucina quae in semet aereo circulo flectitur; cornu quod ex uris agrestibus, argento nexum, temperatum arte spirituque canentis flatus emittit auditum."

Talk:Systemic functional linguistics

message: To respond to Vortisto's thoughts on this being to excessive in detail, I agree. I feel that the introduction is a too complex and abstract. I am graduate student in linguistics with some experience in SFL (I have attended a few lectures this year), yet I still find this intro very hard to follow.
The introduction should give the reader a quick, concise summary of the entry, correct? Perhaps there should be more emphasis on how SFL contrasts from other branches of linguistics. I am not knowledgeable enough to do this, so hopefully someone else can. Then the info currently in the intro can be moved downward into the article body.

:I have had a good go. Done. It was full of the sort of anaphora (or other types of niche, promotional or just bad form repetition) and didacticisms (by which I mean condescending or bespoke new terms then saying that is to say or i.e. "choices" or other simple concepts, without putting them in quotation marks or linking to decent articles on them if they are that much of a breakthrough) that it was a little unwieldy. To most of my average friends it would be considered near-impenetrable so offends the guides in WP:JARGON. This is by no means to debase the linguists, current or past using or teaching SFL, but it is perfectly clear to someone highly educated in (other) Social Sciences that the lead needed trimming.

Talk:Ballaios

message: I've seen a coin or two of his. One bronze issue (16 mm diameter) of note is the one where, on the reverse (on the observe appears his head/bust in profile), a male figure (probably meant to depict him) is holding what appears to be a large serpent in his right hand. This is interesting, because bala in Romanian means "monster" while balaur in Romanian means "dragon" (these words are among the Romanian words reckoned as Pre-Roman substrate words); bollë in Albanian means "large snake". Among the Thracians, we find the ethnonym Triballi, which at least one linguist that I know of (Paliga) interprets as "Three Dragons" (Tri + Balli), quite likely considering that a three-headed dragon is a known Thracian symbol. Ballaios, as far as I know, is only attested once among Illyrians. Maybe this is a name from Thracian, Paionian, or something else. Alexander 007 08:08, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
