File talk:Exotica II.jpg

message: This is a bad-faith nomination meant simply to hassle me, as I've been marking several images RFU and annoying the nominator. Nonetheless, I'm happy to let this go through the process.
This is an album cover, and a prime example of a non-replaceable image (I think Jimbo used album covers specifically as an example of acceptable fair use at some point). It is only being used to illustrate the page about the album. I think it's therefore acceptable. However, if an admin disagrees with me and deletes it, I will have no problem with that decision, and I won't go whining on his/her talk page about what a luser they are and to get a life and why are you picking on me? cry cry sob sob. —Chowbok ☠ 23:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Quote from another user on your talk page-- Please also note that Jimbo said that in the discussions about anything, the argument "Jimbo said," like you invoked here, has no value whatsoever and editors should resolve disagreements without invoking such arguments. That sums up my commentary here. TheQuandry 03:04, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Your point was to simply state that album covers are non-replacable. This isn't true, and even if Jimbo said it was, the fact that he did isn't enforcable (which is something he also said). You could write to the record company, asking them to release this image or ask them to send you free promotional material left over from when the album was originally produced and marketed. Also, you haven't provided a detailed fair use rationale, as required by the fair use template when uploading. TheQuandry 04:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Half of Penshurst is in the Kogarah Municipality, that area south of the train line, while the half north of the train line is in Hurstville Municipality. For example the Macrae's Estate mentioned is entirely within Kogarah. Any reason not to mention that Penshurst straddles the train line which is the boundary between the two municipalities?

Talk:Karl Löwith

message: I have been reading Karl Lowith's book From Hegel to Nietzsche. I am so impressed that I just ordered another copy tonight. This is truly a classic book within the field of History of Philosophy. I have done wide reading in the field of Hegelian philosophy and have studied Hegel himself, and declare without doubt that anyone who cares about Hegel and Hegelianism had better read this book. Likewise, Marxist scholars and devotees of Kierkegaard will find much to illumine and delight them here. This man knew nineteenth century philosophy forward and backward and was honest and fair in expounding every viewpoint. I had a hard time determining his own viewpoint, and that is as it should be in a book purporting to be a history of thought. As a matter of fact, I felt he must be a Christian and perhaps a Hegelian, since he seemed highly sympathetic in expounding such views. I find here in Wikipedia that he is, rather, a Jew; but of course he might have been a convert to Christianity. If he was not, I commend him highly on his ability to present Christian views without apparent bias. This book is such a feast that I hope to read it through perhaps three times and make it a pillar of my education in philosophy. What the nineteenth century philosophers he discusses were trying to do, in large-scale social-historical-religious-or-anti-religious questing, has not been done on such a scale or with such panache in the twentieth century. Very definitely, we need to learn from them. I might say that the future of social-historical-religious philosophy will start not from the twentieth century but from the nineteenth, and Lowith's book is an excellent place to begin if you are but scantily acquainted with that century's unparalleled richness of thought.

Talk:Óðrerir

message: Many sources (Simek's Dictionary of Northern Mythology, Lindow's Norse mythology, Orchard's Dictionary of Norse Myth & Legend) agree that Óðrerir originally refers to the mead of poetry, claiming that in some sources Óðrerir "clearly refers to the mead itself" (Orchard). But, apart from the Eddas, the only occurrence of Óðrerir I've found is Óðrøris alda in Einarr skálaglamm's Vellekla. It doesn't seem to me that Óðrerir particularly refers to the mead rather than to a pot, all the less so that this kenning is nearly the same as Boðnar bára (also in Vellekla), and Boðn, as far as I know, only refers to a vat.

Talk:GSR

message: Apparently, it should be noted that the idealism of including the fictional romance between two CSI characters is fallacious although not necessary absolutely "remove-only". 
I think it's fair that we do not include such irrelevant content in the context that...
1. Not everyone has seen CSI and knows about this romance it purports
2. Just because one believes that it is notable... does not mean it is notable for everyone.
The context in which the author places the statement "GSR, a term commonly used when discussing the romance of Sara Sidle and Gil Grissom from CBS's hit show, CSI:Crime Scene Investigation. Can mean 'Grissom Sara Romance', 'Gil Sara Romance', 'Grissom Sidle Romance', etc. 'Grissom Sara Romance' is most commonly used." is not relevant to an informative source. Although it is not 100 percent accurate, it should be agreeable that this notion that a romance of such, be it popular should be restrict to News and specialisation of the TV show itself.
I purpose one of two things
1. Remove this entry of GSR permanently
2. Move this entry to a more relevant location: i.e. the CSI article
Personally, I think it's fair that we move it to the CSI article.
And by the way, TLAs (three letter acronyms) are not meant to be used to acronymise everything.
By this logic, the author is telling me I can do the following:
'In the context of the movie show "[Two and a half Men]"'
Apparently, with this logic in mind I can edit the "Hedonism" disambiguation and add
'Charlie Harper (see).'
Because the theme of hedonism in [Two and A Half Men] does run commonly if not every episode of the TV show mentioned affront.

thread_title: Notes

message: A user reverted an addition I made yesterday: I mentioned in the article that "iris" means "rainbow" and linked to the Rainbow article.  This is the oldest use of the word as a non-proper noun in English.
The reason given for the reversion is that this meaning is "already encapsulated" in the mythical meaning of Iris.
But a mythical human is an entirely different thing from a rainbow.  We cannot expect users of Wikipedia to read in full every listing in order to learn the basic distinct meanings of a word.
So I am writing to seriously question this reversion.  I strongly believe the rainbow meaning ought to have its own listing.Daqu (talk) 17:24, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The purpose of disambiguation pages, according to WP:MOSDAB, is as navigation aids. Unlike articles, which can contain any interesting information about a topic, dab pages should only contain information which is likely to help a user find the particular article they were really looking for. While "iris" can mean "rainbow", a user looking for the article on rainbows would certainly search for "rainbow". If they searched for "iris" and wound up here, they were likely looking for the god, the color, the plant, or one of the other entries here, for any of which "Iris" would be a reasonable article title. That is the key criterion for including an entry. — Swpbτ • c 12:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Following recent edits the article now has both  and , differently spelt and capitalized, both linked to Tzniut. I'm loth to start messing around with it myself as it is not my area, but would the article not be improved by our choosing a spelling/capitalization combination, applying it consistently, and unlinking the later one? It would be great if someone clued up could please tackle this. Failing that, I might have a go at it myself, (which is what BRD is for!) but you'll probably get a better result if it is initially done by someone else.

Talk:Käthe Hoffmann

message: The article gives a figure of 354 species named based on . However, this is a gross underestimate of the taxon names which have "K.Hoffm." as a primary author (i.e. not a transferring author or an "ex" author attributing the name to others). If you search IPNI for species in the genus Macaranga alone with "K.Hoffm." as an author, there are 60 such names (63 are returned but 3 are not primary or are a duplicate) – Search.
I downloaded a complete search from IPNI, and eliminated non-primary author cases and duplicates. My totals for the taxa named that include "K.Hoffm." as a primary author are:
Rank    	Number of names
forma   	10
genus   	32
sect.   	13
series  	1
species 	902
subsect.	1
subsp.  	4
subtribe	1
var.    	108
TOTAL   	1072
The discrepancy can partly be explained by many of the names no longer being accepted, e.g. having been synonymized with other names, but I still find the difference between Lindon et al.'s 354 species and the 902 I can find in IPNI surprising.
Unfortunately, IPNI's advanced search doesn't allow you to select primary authors, so the data above is based on my personal analysis and so is WP:OR and can't be included in the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
