Talk:Auðr (mythology)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: moved. This was moved due to the agreement in the discussion and the low controversy of the change. As I both proposed and moved, or if you think there is a better name, I encourage you to start another discussion, putting forward ideas.--Ingwina (talk) 05:49, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Auðr (mythological character) →  – "Figure" is to me more fitting, given the being's role in traditional material rather than fiction which is suggested by character. Mythology and folklore are not best described as fiction, regardless of one's views on their truth. This is consistent with other similar pages. Ingwina (talk) 19:53, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

text: Hi Fredlesaltique, I haven't seen any that use "(mythological figure)" but a good number are described as figures (especially where their grouping isn't too clear e.g. god, human etc) such as Aurvandil, The Morrígan, Nörvi  on the Nótt page and on Hjúki and Bil. My main argument though rests on "character" applying to works of fiction whereas figure can be used both in traditional material and fiction without issue. Ingwina (talk) 19:38, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

text: I think Auðr (mythology) is the most straightforward move here. We also don't need to request this move—someone can just bodly move it and see if anyone takes issue. Note that the Icelandic form can be anglicized a few ways, such as Audr or Authr. Auðr would be the most neutral and least confusing.  :bloodofox: (talk) 22:11, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Borghild

message: The last sentence of the article claims that Sinfjötli has less god-blood in him than Sigmund, but this claim can be questioned. That is because Sinfjötli's parents Sigmund and Signy are full siblings (even twins) and should thus have the same portion of god-blood. Therefore, Sinfjötli should also have the same portion of god-blood as each of his parents.
I see only one possible way for Sinfjötli to have less god-blood than his father: chance. The children of Sigmund and Signy only have the same portion of god-blood as their parents on average, but random variations can cause individual children to have more or less god-blood than their parents. Maybe, Sinfjötli was unlucky and got less than the average share of god-blood. 
Does it behave that way? If not, what is the reason why Sinfjötli is less resistant to poison than his father? Is it the incest itself that made Sinfjötli weaker (and also evil?), or is there some other cause?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.115.91.215 (talk) 20:04, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Alruna

message: The linked article Alraune mentions this name (which is similar, but not equal to Alruna) as the name of a fictional character as well as the name of some artistic works (mostly movies). Is the name "Alruna" really a person name used by real living persons? To the best of my knowledge, in Scandinavian countries the word is used exclusively to refer to the plant Mandrake -  it is not in any way a common person name. Some works of art may use it, or derivatives, eg Alrune_Rod, but this use is rare, and any secondary use is still in reference to the plant. As for Germany, and "Alraune", it seems the same is the case. So, the contents of this article may (probably unintentional) have been written in such a way as to be misleading as to the actual use of the word "Alruna"/"Alrune", and even "Alrauna".
I suggest that the article be rewritten, so as not to suggest that the plant name is a secondary use of the word, when in fact it is the primary use. 
Further, I suggest that the articles Alraune and Alruna be merged. claus (talk) 20:42, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Frost flower

message: FYI, the German Wikipedia has a lot more information on hair ice aka frost beards: de:Haareis, including links to literature by Alfred Wegener, Gerhart Wagner, and Christian Mätzler explaining that the growth of hair ice also requires the presence of specific funghi.
It should be noted, that ice ribbons and frost flowers seem to be different phenomena. The English article does not distinguish between them, though.
Further, the English article states, that the term ice flower refers to frost flowers as well. I can't speak for the English-speaking world, but in several European languages, the direct translation of ice flower (de:Eisblume, nl:IJsbloemen) describes a completely different phenomena. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:30, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Norman Macdougall

message: I would argue that this person fits a criteria for inclusion by an academic:-
"The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources".
He has written the definitive biography of James IV, an important Scottish king, which has gone through 2 revised editions, plus an important biography of James III and some other publications. PatGallacher (talk) 12:01, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you find a source for that?  I mean, specifically that it is definitive.  I've found cites to the biography and cites citing the biography but that's not the same.  Otherwise, WP:BLP says that "[Contentious] material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."  While the contentious wording is being debated, I would think it's possible for there to be a problem claiming that someone has written a number of "definitive" biographies. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:50, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

*

* Gettas, Gregory J. (full citation on main article): The CBC decided to air the series in the early 70s (about 1971).  They set up an advisory board and helped it develop a curriculum that "adopted several Canadian national priorities as series goals.  Perhaps the most notable of these goals was bilingualism.  The CBC believed that Sesame Street afforded it an ideal opportunity to expose young English-speaking viewers to Canada's other official language, French.  Initially, 5 minutes of 'Canadianized' material was produced for each episode.  Today, the Canadian curriculum goals have been expanded to include multiculturalism, ecology, native peoples, and regional diversity" (p. 57).

If using the best next action, you'll end up with Watkin's Q-Learning which SARSA was an attempt to provide an alternative to.  By updating with the value of the best next action (Watkin's Q-Learning) the update can possibly over-estimate values, as the control method used will not pick this action all the time (due to the need to balance exploration and exploitation). A comparison between Q-Learning and SARSA, perhaps Cliff World from Rich Sutton's 'Reinforcement Learning An Introduction' (1998), may be useful to clarify the differences and the resulting behaviour   --131.217.6.6 08:17, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Olena Pchilka

message: I can see how you took this as downplaying her views, which as the sources make clear were unambiguously antisemitic.  Notice that this is not my opinion of her, but of her contemporaries.  My personal take is that it can't be a woman's "kapriz" to have bigoted views; afterall, we don't consider racism as "ok" just because it is zhenski kapriz.--Riurik(discuss) 22:03, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I hope if you read carefully the source that I deleted after I had provided it, you will see my point. The phrase zhenski kapriz is penned by the author of the article, a contemporary of ours. It is by no means something Chikalenko, Yefremov or Vynnychenko ever said, hence it is not even in quotation marks. The article in Hazeta po Ukrainsky is unreliable and POV-ish. It is a very poor and unsourced attempt at downplaying her antisemitism, which I realised only after I had checked your edit. I have read a lot to see that her contemporaries took her antisemitism not so lightly. Mainly she was just shunned by everyone, but she also experienced some persecution and problems with publishing her magazine because of her antisemitic views. For instance, read what she said herself in  (search for the word "zhydy" and read a couple of paragraphs further). Still, she did find some support from like-minded Ukrainian antisemitists. But anyway "capriciousness" would be the poorest word to describe all this. It *was* a serious matter both for her and for others. Therefore, I suggest you undo your latest edit to the article. Garik 11 (talk) 23:16, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you're right.  Upon second reading, the kapriz does seem to be the author's extrapolation rather than her contemporaries' thinking.
