thread_title:  Expansion 

message: Did Portland Public Schools, specifically, exist in the 19th century? Not sure the wikilink is appropriate, if the sources simply say he was educated in public schools. Also, did he really represent multiple districts, or just two? My understanding is that reapportionment happens once a decade, so it seems likely that there was only one change during his 18 year or so tenure. Or if it was multiple ones, maybe it resulted from his moving, as well as reapportionment? This is all, of course, speculation..I will look at the primary sources, too. -Pete (talk) 00:49, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The source said "Portland public schools" and I know the 1st public schools in Washington County was formed in 1851, so its plausible PPS or a predecessor in interest did exist by the time Simon started school. Dict of Oregon hist also says Portland had a school by 1850, though it doesn't say if it was public or not or by what school district name it went by. With re-apportionment, it is once a decade, usually for the election 2 years after the census. So for the 1880 session he was in district 21 (re-apportionment in 1882), then for the 1889 & 1891 district 20 (re-apportionment in 1892), then district 19 for 1895 on.

thread_title:  MS Windows implementation 

message: I don't appreciate the undiscussed reversion of my change which clarified the status of networks 0/8 and 127/8.  The claim in the edit comment by Kbrose that 0.0.0.0 "is not a loopback network" is technically true of the _network_ 0.0.0.0/8 -- on one view of what a "loopback network" is, which is really not precisely defined in any of the IP standards -- but if it is meant to imply that 0.0.0.0/32 is "not a loopback address" it's false, both empirically and historically.
Empirically:  IPv4 hosts are *required* to loop-back packets addressed to 0.0.0.0.
Historically: IPv4 loopback was originally defined much like IPv6 loopback is, using the 0/8 "this network" prefix, but differing in that address 0 meant "this host" rather than address 1 being explicitly allocated for loopback purposes.  The use of network 127/8 for this purpose was basically accidental, due to the escape of a non-standards-compliant IPv4 stack which used network 127 for this purpose onto the public Arpanet.  It has since been -- grudgingly -- enshrined by the standards, but it is accidental.  IPv4 originally had _only_ 0.0.0.0/0 as the loopback address, so it certainly should not be removed from this article; however, the discussion of it (and network 127) should be correct, without applying terms like "this network" to network 127, which is wrong.

message: Toward the bottom of the article, it states: "Calkins was the first female to complete all the coursework, examinations and research for a doctoral degree and, although it was never officially conferred, she is regarded as the first woman to get her doctoral degree in the field of psychology."
However, Calkins was denied her PhD in Psychology in 1895, which was one year after Margaret Floy Washburn earned her PhD in Psychology. Perhaps this sentence can be restated to indicate that Calkins unofficially can be regarded as the first woman to complete all Psychology doctoral requirements at Harvard.

Talk:William Paine Lord

message: The statement that Lord was "partially deaf and had limited speaking ability" has been in the article, uncited, since the very first edit in 2006. I've found a reference to him being "hard of hearing" as an adult in With Her Own Wings, a book about the history of women in Oregon - but that's from 2008, and thus we can't be sure that the author didn't get it from us.
I've also found the sentence "Governor Lord is unfortunately a little hard of hearing" in an article in the Oregon Daily Journal, March 13, 1908, p. 7. That's definitely not citogenesis, but I would be loath to interpret "a little hard of hearing" as "partially deaf and had limited speaking ability", given that he was elected to the Oregon State Senate, the Oregon Supreme Court, and the Oregon governorship, all in the 19th century. (I'd further point out that in 1908, Lord was 70, an age at which a degree of hearing loss is not uncommon.)
As such, I am commenting out the statement until and unless a better, pre-2006 source can be found. DS (talk) 19:06, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Karachi University Business School

message: This article has been merged to Karachi University per WP:BOLD. The original article was all written in the first person. I was tempted to speedy delete for being spam, and I suspect it must have been taken from a brochure or KUBS website, but was unable to find the source. It was already tagged {advert} by another editor. The only salvageable content was the second paragraph which gave a brief description of the courses offered, and the location of the school.
It appears to be a new school which does not have its own website, and is not referred to in the KU website. I did not find it terribly notable. However, it is worthy enough of a few lines within th KU article, so I placed redirect until such time an encyclopaedic article could be created. Ohconfucius 03:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Procatalepsis

message: I had edited the procatalepsis page for accuracy, because after researching procatalepsis I found that the current example was in fact a very poor example of proacatalepsis, if it is procatalepsis at all.  I referred to  for a good example for procatalepsis, then thought of an example on my own that I felt was a better example of procatalepsis than the current "pilot boat" example.  I was informed that my edit was not entirely neutral, and I reluctantly accept this judgement, even though I did not mean to be biased in any way.  I do not feel that my example was biased at all, instead, I believe that since procatelepsis is a rhetorical device that is used to support an argument, a viable argument should be presented as an example.  Arguments by nature are biased, and they are meant to be, but my entry was not meant to prove any point.  In fact, I do not personally support the argument that I used as an example in my edit, although whether I support it or not is not relevant in the least to the article.
Excuse me for my long-windedness, but the main purpose of this is to ask for a series of good examples of arguments that show procatalepsis, and that theses examples be edited into the procatalepsis article by more experience Wikipedians than this humble, unregistered IP address.  Thanks and good luck.

text: Would there be any problem with using the example given on the prolepsis page? For example, a speaker might say "'Ah', you say, 'but that is impossible!'" Here the speaker is anticipating the objection 'Ah, but that is impossible!' from his audience - and is probably about to refute that objection before it arises. -BlackTerror 16:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
