thread_title:  South African English userbox has silly parody text 

message: The level order has native on level 4 and professional on level 5, thus:
*:Category:User en-5: Users with a professional level of English
*:Category:User en-N: Native English speakers
*:Category:User en-4: Users with level of English comparable to native speakers
Also, on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:User_en-5 the statement "Next worse level: Category:User en-N (Native) " is made.
Can native be worse than professional?
On https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILR_scale#ILR_Level_4_%E2%80%93_Full_professional_proficiency a level scheme calls (their) level 4 professional and (their) level 5 native.
I do not remember having seen any precise definition of Wikipedia's level 5, but once - years a go - I though I could classify myself as a contributing with a professional level. Was I wrong? Or is the order wrong?Redav (talk) 20:35, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I saw this and was wondering the same. I assume the rationale behind it is just because one is a native speaker of a language, that doesn't necessarily make them a professional speaker. I would wager a 35 year old college English professor has a more "professional" grasp of the English language than, say, someone with just as much education but in a non-academic field. Proficiency ≠ professionalism. Though I'd agree, it does seem a bit odd to have "professional English" placed above "native English". I don't particularly agree with that classification either.

Talk:Substance dualism

message: To the author of the paragraph beginning with "David Chalmers"
I do not want to edit out your paragraph, but it does not seem to make sense.  (If I am making a mistake, please correct me.)  If the computer simulation were perfect as you have implied, then whatever is true in this world would be true in the simulation.  Thus, if substance dualism is not the case it this world, it would not be the case in the simulation.
I'm not sure if this was your intention; I would appreciate some clarification. -- Dar-Ape 21:20, 25 May 2005
:Chalmers must have been talking about a simulation which is not 100% perfect. The programmers of the simulation must be deliberately choosing to skip modelling the brain, and just pass the inputs and outputs to and from the 'real brain' outside the simulation. In this situation, those attempting to do science inside the simulation would notice that their own brain is not following the rules exactly.
:I suppose the only way the simulation could be 100% perfect would be to simply force the 'real brain' to have the same inputs as the simulated brain. This would lead to the real brain feeling totally out-of-control unless the operators of the Matrix became very invasive. But we can't really guess what the 'real' brain/mind is like, the universe outside the simulation could be utterly unlike that inside the simulation, making it difficult to define 'invasive'.
:A 100% perfect simulation would be like Epiphenomenalism, meaning that there could be no complete discussion of consciousness within the simulation. Unless you allow for the crazy idea of the simulated characters thinking they are conscious when they are not - i.e. can you be sure that a perfect physicalist simulation won't result in a characters arguing about the hard problem of consciousness even if they are not conscious? But that's not a reasonable defence of epiphenominalism, whether or not we're in a Matrix. Aaron McDaid 19:30, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Schwarz (surname)

message: "Most people believe that the extra z in the name comes from russian influence, due to the fact that there is no anglo sounding z sound in russian but instead a "tz"." - No, this statement makes unsupported and unsupportable assertions (and is poor English, with poor spelling, and poor reasoning)!
*"Most people" do not think this at all! Where's your survey? 
*What do you mean by an "extra z"?? There's only one "z". There isn't an "extra" one! Or do you mean it's extraneous? Not essential? Shouldn't be there? Unwanted? Unneeded?
*What, for instance, is meant by "anglo sounding z sound"? I presume by "anglo" (sloppy terminology) you mean "English" as in English language (English phonology)? Yes, there is a z sound (as in zoo) in Russian, and a "ts" sound (represented by a single letter in the Russian alphabet). 
I can see the point of a disambig page where there are people who share the same forename and surname, but what is so special about this name in particular that requires the creation of a disambiguation page? There are alternative spellings for many other names (look at any telephone directory, for instance!), not just for those from the traditional stock of English names but also for those that have been taken over from other languages and cultural backgrounds. Unless wiki is going to develop into a dictionary of surnames - and I don't -think- that that is its aim - this entry seems pointless.

Talk:Export-oriented industrialization

message: The article states that (a) "Export-led growth implies opening domestic markets to foreign competition in exchange for market access in other countries", while saying that (b) "Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore in the post World War II period" are examples of countries where export-oriented industrialization happened. The two statements are contradictory, since South Korea and other East Asian countries had strong barriers on imports during most of the 1960s-1980s. 
Also, as pointed out in the article about import substitution industrialization, in most cases export-oriented industrialization was not a "choice" but simply a consequence of U.S. open market policies and financial support to the industrialization of the Asian Tigers in order to create a "contention belt" of capitalist nations around commmunist countries in Asia. Since the same policies were not extended to Latin America and Africa, which were outside the areas of geopolitical concern for the U.S., they did not have the "choice" of centering their production on exports (as neither did East Asian countries), since you do not choose whether your export target (the U.S.) will open its market (that is a sovereign national decision).
I included the "The neutrality of this article is disputed" sign until this problem is solved.
Abueno97 (talk)
First off, those two statements are not contradictory - you just disagree with one of them.  It's true that many of the Asian Tigers maintained high trade barriers during this time period, and that should definitely be noted in the article.  However, their overall trade strategy is still far closer to the EOI model than the ISI model - mainly just by virtue of their focus on an finished goods export-based economy, rather than a self-sufficient one.  The fact that they got away with strong tariffs is mostly due to the other thing you point out - that the US had other priorities at the time, and thus were less worried about these countries playing "by the rules" than they were containing Communism.  So yes, they didn't follow this strategy exactly, but they still deserve mention here because they're still closer to it than ISI.  I'm a bit curious why you didn't just edit the article to reflect this (and I don't think "neutrality" is the thing you're really disputing here - you just think it's wrong, not biased), but no matter - I'll get around to fixing it soon.129.171.49.92 (talk) 20:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
