Talk:Vladimir Arsenyev

message: I'm confused about the trilogy. In English translation is a book about Dersu that covers three expeditions, it is a single volume. In Russian, there are three books about Dersu. Is the English translation a composite of all three Russian volumes, or only one? -- 71.191.42.242 (talk) 04:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Dersu Trilogy

message: This article's previous version stated that "Arsenyev's book called the attention of Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa," who then decided to make a film of it. The story I know is quite different: Kurosawa was in a very bad phase of his life, struggling against alcoholism and unable to get financing to make his movies, which led him to a (fortunately failed) suicide attempt. As a desperate last resort, he turned to the then USSR, who was more than eager to boost its reputation of making only dull, ideologically-charged "socialist realist" movies and make a great production with an acclaimed director of international prestige. They suggested Dersu Uzala to him and the rest is history: a masterpiece was born.
Since I cannot substantiate all this story, I just altered the phrasing to remove the previous suggestion (or statement) that Kurosawa just decided to make a film of it, adding also a mention to a previous Soviet movie about it and the Oscar for Best Foreign-Language Film in 1975.

Talk:Apeiron

message: One of the difficulties with understanding meanings of statements by Greek philosophers is our ignorance of their technical language. This was based on analogy to material objects and situtions. For example 'water' meant 'gravity'. The word 'apeiron' cannot be understood as 'unlimited', 'infinite' or 'indefinite' because these expressions can be symbolised by (oo), using today's mathematical symblism. The symbol (oo) refers to 'plurality' which is unlimited and undefined. The plurality (oo) is related to dynamism in the form of continuous, quantitative change. This has nothing to do with meaning of Anaximander's statement 'apairon' as the static medium of the beginning(arche). The correct meaning of Apeiron', using todsays symbolism, is Nothingness. In mathematics it is noted as '0'. (89.243.82.96 (talk) 22:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

message: It is a mess. Meaningless sentences like “Justice has to destroy everything which is born” are strewn around without context. The article reads like a compilation of various paragraphs copy pasted from various sources without structure.
The English language used is also very poor. 200 year old archaic words like “whence” are used instead of “From where” mixed in with non existent words like “unlimitable”. I assume the writer tried to write “limitless”.
This article needs an overhaul.

A tag has been placed on :Unibet.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. 
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of :Unibet.com and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable.

Talk:No End In Sight

message: The correct official name of this movie is "NO END IN SIGHT", i.e., all capital letters.
Wikipedia standards says that the correct name for the article is "No End In Sight". (Personally I disagree, but that's of no importance.)
Whoever created the article called it "No End in Sight", i.e., small "i" on "in".
I've contributed to the article, but have no desire or intention to rename it "No End In Sight".
Under the present circumstances there are some links that call the film (correctly according to Wikipedia standards) "No End In Sight", and if someone creates a new link like that then it should hit this redirect page instead of being "red linked".

Talk:Sophistical Refutations

message: There is some text from PD sources, which could be used in this article. For example
* The earliest systematic account of fallicies was given by Aristotle in his treatise was on sophistical arguments (Περὶ σοφιστικῶν ἐλέγχων). The aim of this treatise was to name and examine the various tricks that were relied on by many of the sophists to win the applause of their audience. We may say, therefore, that it contains an examination of the various forms of 'sophistry' current among the Greeks of the fourth century B. C. To this practical employment of the term corresponds, in a general way, the meaning that must be assigned to it when, at the present day, it is used in a popular sense. From this point of view, a fallacy may be said to be any error of statement or belief. If, for example, any one should believe that the sun revolves around the earth, such a belief would be called fallacious, and the statement of that belief would be called a fallacy. This meaning of the word, however, is too indefinite for the purposes of logic, and it covers too miscellaneous a group of cases to be of much service in directing its inquiries. It is customary, therefore, to narrow the interpretation of the term by confining its application to any breach of the principles and rules of logical procedure. 
** Arthur Ernest Davies (1915) A text-book of logic. p.508 (direct link)
* Aristotle's explanation of the nature of Fallacies, if not satisfactory, seems to be as complete and intelligible as any that has since been offered. As his doctrines, indeed, are the source and substance of those of his successors, it appeared to the translator that the student of this theory would prefer to resort for instruction to the fountain-head, if it were made more easy of access.   "Is not, however, the whole subject of Fallacies somewhat trumpery, and one that may be suffered, without much regret, to sink into oblivion ?"     Possibly: but besides the doctrine of Fallacies, Aristotle offers either in this treatise, or in other passages quoted in the commentary, various glances over the world of science and opinion, various suggestions on problems which are still agitated, and a vivid picture of the ancient system of dialectic, which it is hoped may be found both interesting and instructive.
** Aristotle, Edward Poste transl. (1866)  Aristotle on fallacies: or, The Sophistici elenchi Macmillan. Preface.
* PETITIO PBINCIPII (... or begging the question) — is one of the seven paralogisms or false reasonings which Aristotle refutes in the fifth chapter of his Sophistical Refutations. It consists in assuming or taking for granted in some way the point which is really in dispute. Now, in all reasoning, that which is employed as proof should be more clear and better known than that which it is employed to prove. To infer the actual occurrence of eclipses, recorded in Chinese annals, from an assumption of the authenticity of these annals, is an example of petitio principii.
** William Fleming (1857) The vocabulary of philosophy, mental, moral, and metaphysical. p.377

Talk:Constructive criticism

message: Constructive criticism, is it constructive? in who's opinion? there must be a defined set of rules for constructive criticism. Firstly the criticism must have been invited, secondly to be constructive the criticism needs to be reasonably acheiveable by the receiver of the criticisum. ie I think the painting would look better if you placed it on that wall, rather that I could of done a better job. Often criticism is not invited and forms one of the 12 major roadblocks to communication and can be very distructive and often an ineffective way of getting a message accross. see Robert Boltons book People Skills. Critisusum mas also an interest of Psycologist Carl Rogers who wrote that it was a major barrier to communication based on our habit to judge. Critical thinking and Argument culture are the suject of Edward de Bono's book Six Thinking Hats where he talks about the different modes of thinking based on our sensitisation to different things pitfalls oppertunities asthetics etc.
