Talk:EST and The Forum in popular culture

message: There's a section (and accompanying captioned photo) about alleged links between The Matrix and the Landmark Forum that is entirely sourced from two dubious self-published books. Here is the relevant quote from one of them (Diamond, Nenari (2006). Stepping Into Spiritual Oneness: Spiritual Rememberings of the Soul Through Life Experience. Morrisville, North Carolina: Lulu. p. 169.):
> So, we may then ask ~ “What is the point of choosing?” Spirit says that they shall gift us with the Spiritual Metaphor in the movie Matrix Revolutions for the answer as to why choose.
> This movie, of which the screenplay was written by the Wachowski Brother souls, got its inspiration for this screenplay and subsequent movie, while taking a seminar series called The Landmark Forum that I also went through. They say that if we are to take a look at the movie Matrix Revolutions, in the end of the movie, Neo is asked by Agent Smith, “Why is it that you continue to do this Mr. Anderson?” to which Neo replies, “Because I choose to”. Simply put, he chooses to. Nothing more and nothing less. Therefore Spirit expresses that when we choose a way of BEing in LIFE, that we are invited to be as Neo is BEing, choosing a way of BEing simply because we choose to, free from a reason of anything other than it is a choice in LIFE we are choosing. Why choose? To experience; to experience Infinite Possibility.
These are not reliable sources.

Talk:Ware, Hertfordshire

message: Recently a new subject has been added to the page - literature. It only mentions a rather obscure Edward Lear limerick. Is it worth a separate section - or even worth mentioning at all? There are plenty of more important references to Ware in literature - such as Shakespeare (Twelfth Night), Cowper (John Gilpin) and Chaucer (Canterbury Tales). The first two are mentioned elsewhere on the page. Should they be moved to this section or the Lear reference moved (or deleted)? Andrew of Ware (talk) 22:32, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: A phobia is an irrational fear. There is normally nothing to fear from a domestic cat and being afraid of a domestic cat is irrational which makes it a phobia.

message: the subject discussed here is considered common enough in cricket that a citation is not required. the creator (boycott) regularly uses it 20 years on, and many others, in jest and seriously, have taken on the phrase. the subject is not controversial, it is more of a figure of speech/cliche than a quote as such - the sentiment had been expressed before, just not with those precise words. there is no dispute as to the originator of the phrase

thread_title:  Word 

message: The recent categorization of the article's subject within the WP Category:People on the autism spectrum appears to be based on no known evidence. A survey of known reliable sources which have reported about the subject shows no claim that the subject is autistic. In fact, just one reliable source, the East Bay Times newspaper ( http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/07/07/spelling-champ-using-music-to-memorize-pi/ ) corrects the presumption that the subject is autistic by writing that:
"His mannerisms have fueled speculation on blogs that he has Asperger's Disorder, a form of autism; or that he is a high-functioning autistic savant. His mother dismissed those claims Friday. 'He's just gifted,' said Jennifer O'Dorney, a down-to-earth former math tutor with an easy laugh. Evan's Mike O'Dorney, agreed. 'There is always something going on in his head,' he mused, smiling and shaking his own head. 'The wheels are always turning.' A retired electrical engineer, Mike figured his son would inherit his and his wife's aptitudes for math. But when, at 3-years-old Evan memorized the Greek alphabet and began composing music on the piano, he and Jennifer knew they had an extraordinary child. They watched in awe one day when he solved a Rubik’s Cube in less than 10 minutes. Still, they worried he wasn’t developing normal social skills. Several years ago, Jennifer took Evan to a San Ramon Valley school district learning disorder specialist who declared he wasn’t autistic, but had 'autistic-like behaviors.'"
Absent additional reliable sources stating claims that the subject has been diagnosed with autism, it appears that the subject isn’t autistic. As such I will revert the article’s categorization within the WP Category:People on the autism spectrum.2001:558:6008:3B:21AD:3716:A921:81B1 (talk) 18:13, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

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.
I am closing this discussion as part of a group, consisting of Talk:Muslim conquest of Egypt#Requested move 17 March 2023, Talk:Muslim conquest of Armenia#Requested move 21 March 2023, and Talk:Muslim conquest of Persia#Requested move 17 March 2023, as the moves are comparable, the arguments for each are comparable, and many editors in those discussions referenced their positions in other discussions.
With the exception of Muslim conquest of Egypt, which is closed as moved, these articles are closed as no consensus; editors opposing the move argued that the proposed title is inaccurate and would hinder understanding, while editors supporting argued that the proposed title was the WP:COMMONNAME. Overall, neither position was sufficiently strong to establish a consensus given the comparable levels of support. 
Muslim conquest of Egypt differs from these in that the arguments for it were seen as stronger by the participants, as evidenced by P Aculeius's neutral position on that move compared to their opposition on others.
If editors wish to explore these moves in the future they are encouraged to open a multi-move request, which will address some of the raised WP:CONSISTENCY concerns. (closed by non-admin page mover) BilledMammal (talk) 22:19, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
