text: Having read the chapter in question, Sidis appears to be confusing holophrasis with an agglutinative language, which combines multiple morphemes to a stem to form a single word, which can express a complex idea.  But critically, these morphemes contain all of the semantic content necessary to specify that meaning, whereas holophrasis uses often a single morpheme to stand in for a more complex idea.  --Dairhenien (talk) 19:24, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

text: Here we have to distinguish between the etymology of the word and the underlying form as possessed by speakers of the language.  Most greeting words don't have a lot of semantic content, at least not in the truth conditional sense.  They are used more for pragmatic effect, to create an illocutionary force--in this case, the initiation of friendly communication in an informal context.  But yes, I agree that holophrasis is more typical of a stage of language development rather than a feature of a developed language.  I would recommend removing the section or clarifying the difference in terminology.  --Dairhenien (talk) 19:24, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Garden Palace

message: Problems with the dimensions given for the building:
# Statement "The building was over 244 metres long and had a floor space of over 112,000 metres" cannot be correct. For a start the area should be square metres not metres. Secondly if it was 112,000 square metres in area and 244 metres long it would have to have been 460 metres wide, which it clearly was not.
# The reference given to a "Power House" (sic) Museum webpage leads nowhere so I have no way of checking the source or correcting the error.

Category talk:Metalworking measuring instruments

message: This was a dumb name change from :Category:Measuring tools and instruments (see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 November 8).
An architect's scale is a measuring instrument.  It is not a "metalworking" measuring instrument.  
Almost everything else is also not specific to metalworking.
Do we now need to make a ":Category:Woodworking measuring instruments which includes pretty much the same articles?  How many other fields of activities can we throw into the names?  :Category:Building construction measuring instruments and :Category:Agricultural measuring instruments and :Category:Manufacturing measuring instruments :Category:Biology measuring instruments and the like.

Talk:Blessed Are the Sick

message: "Many people confuse the issue of saying Swedish Thrash Metal band, Hexenhaus stole the album cover from Morbid Angel for their album A Tribute to Insanity. However Hexenhaus' album came out in 1988, while this album was released in 1991."
This is worded somewhat awkwardly, and should probably have some citation just to prove its relevance.  I understand a lot of music culture misconceptions are hard to cite as they occur in common usage such as on message boards, but this fact seems to be rather irrelevant and needs some way of showing why it is notable.  Since it is obvious that the Hexenhaus album came out first and neither band "stole" the artwork from the other, why not just say that both bands used Delville's painting for album covers?--Vlad the Impaler (talk) 07:59, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Dear SpearHead, in this context «Death Metal» is not a sentence: it's a two-worded name for a music style, and names are always capitalized.
There's a habit of some wikipedians calling it "Death metal", even in the main article, but we are not talking about a kind of metallic element that causes death, we are talking about a name, so one should write it Death Metal or Deathmetal, not Death metal.

Talk:Philosophical objections to Cantor's Theory

message: This article started out as "Controversy over Cantor's Theory". That point of that article was to talk about the criticism some applied mathematicians have for Cantor's Theory, namely, that it has no relevance to the mathematics that helps us model the real world. However, recently the article was severely edited to change the focus to philosophical objections (especially those of Wittgenstein), which I believe deserves a separate article.

message: A wiener is not necessarily a hot dog, though the sausage in any hot dog is a wiener.  That is, there are the types of wieners that are used in hot dogs, but there are also wieners that are not used in hot dog.  The term itself is derivative for Wien (German for Vienna), because of this type of sausage originating in Vienna, though the traditional ones are longer and curved as opposed to the straight and short ones typically used in hot dogs.  In any case, it's incorrect to say a "wiener is a hot dog".  Unfortunately, we don't have an article on the general topic of (genuine) wieners.  Probably should have one.  --Born2cycle (talk) 00:50, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Total Commander

message: You can't be serious. IMHO The software is more deserving of a wikipedia article than most, albeit the article is somewhat lacking. Perhaps this is because it is swiss in origin; I notice de.wikipedia.org and fr.wikipedia.org appear to have a bit more info. I'm not a regular WP contributor, I don't know about notability guidelines and really don't have the time to read up on it (or even write this, really), however I would suggest Total Commander is not only notable, its seriously epic. Continuious development since 1993, translated into over 50 languages, 65 million hits on its homepage, a huge volume of plugins from by 3rd party developers. It's a serious piece of software that's taken very seriously by a lot of people.  I am astounded that anyone would suggest removing this article, perhaps it has been misplaceded amoungst the vast sea of mediocre "also ran" software listed on WP, however this would be mistaken identity. Also worth noting that this page is linked from Comparison of FTP client software, USB On-The-Go and Comparison of file managers which lists TC as outperforming Windows Explorer by a fair margin. At the very top of the "Nice WWW Links" <http://www.irfanview.com/main_links_engl.htm> page on Irfan Skiljan's site (author of the ubiquitous Irfanview), under the heading "Great Software" is "Total Commander - one of the best file managers worldwide (IMHO)". I could go on but hopefully by now you get the point, which is basically that the only thing its missing is that it's free to use (nagware, just like WP). I can only imagine that the author must be independantly wealthy or we would all be quite used to seeing the name on glossy brochures, oversized software packaging and banner ads blinking on our cellphones by now.(and btw: yes there is an android version and a windows phone version). 124.186.117.18 (talk) 18:58, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

message: This statement has been creepting back in: "over 99% of the Universe is thought to consist of plasma by particle count, volume and baryonic mass."
There is a problem with the statement and that is namely that it gives no information about Plasma cosmology, but it does say something about astrophysical plasmas. Since there is no discussion of the difference between standard understanding of plasmas and this nonstandard idea, it is inappropriate to include this fact in the introduction where a lot of opinions and unsubstantiated claims are made that are, for the most part, nonstandard.

message: The final sentence in the motivation section is broken.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.240.21.51 (talk) 08:35, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The article's title suggests that it covers stacks (i.e., fibred categories over a site (or a topos, or a topological space) for which "descent works"). However, the present article is essentially a stub for algebraic stacks, i.e., very particular types of stacks in groupoids that are suitably "covered" by algebraic spaces. Whereas stacks in general are a formalisation of a key concept in general descent theory, algberaic stacks (of the D-M and Artin types) are a generalisation of schemes. The two topics are in fact quite dissimilar in terms of questions considered and techniques used.
Thus, the article should be split into a new article on general stacks, and another one to cover algebraic stacks. For the general article a title like Stack (descent theory) would be better than Stack (category theory) as the framework for stacks includes also a Grothendieck topology and not only  categories.
