Talk:United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods

message: I think the area of interest is useful to know, and the additional information on this page is good to have, but I doubt that this sub-topic merits such a long discussion, even if it is a key concern.  also, I doubt that it is for most companies when deciding whether to opt out of the CISG, as interest is not something that gets factored into decisions over international contracts, and usually only comes up at the end of litigation.

Talk:Billiard room

message: Yes, manufacturers seem to quote small room sizes. Yes, the calculations shown in this article "prove" that the manufacturers are underscoping the room sizes.
However.
A couple of points:
1) Claiming that manufacturers are doing so for nefarious reasons (speculated in the article), not backed up by evidence, is hardly neutral, and:
2) We have for many years happily played with normal-size cues on a regulation 4.5 x 9 Gandy tournament-grade table in our house, in a room that is only 14.5' wide. According to the article, that should be impossible, because, the article claims, it requires a room two feet wider. This is hardly a minor discrepancy.
We are not in any way affiliated with pool table manufacturers, distributors, retailers, installers, etc. We work in the software industry. We like to play pool, and have a table in our house.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.14.154.3 (talk) 03:27, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Sebastian Castellio

message: This article needs further work.  It relies heavily on Stafan Zweig.  While Zweig was a wonderful journalist and writer, he was not a historian. Reviewing Zweig’s book, Yale historian Roland Bainton wrote: “The book abounds in errors and inconsistencies, and even if they were corrected it would still be amateurish.” I have added a couple of books to the biblio by historians which can be used for improving the references in the article.  When I find time, I might give it a try.--Joel Mc (talk) 09:26, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Referencing

message: The current text says, "His writings...were desired to be published by John Locke..."  A double passive construction is stylistically bad, and in this case it is ambiguous.  Does it mean that John Locke desired their publication, or that others desired their publication by John Locke?  I suppose the first, and will rewrite in that sense.  The sentence continues, "but at the time it was a capital crime to even own copies of manuscripts by Castellio or on the Servetus controversy..."  Everywhere?  Even in England?  Citation, please!

Talk:Robert of Arbrissel

message: The article states that there are no contemporary references to his harboring of prostitutes - what about Baudric of Dol's Life: 'many women gathered, poor and noble, widows and virgins, old and young, whores and those who spurned men.' This may not be evidence enough to fulfill the accusation, but at least alter the article stating that there are no contemporary references?

Talk:Étienne Tempier

message: I wouldn't know anything about this guy, but the sentence "Taking a further step and arguing that aliens actually existed remained rare." Seems out of place for a Medieval era Pope to say, especially during a time when people mostly took Aristotle's theory for all it was worth, and that there was only the solar system revolving on glass spheres (I believe.) around the earth. - Anon.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.108.130.36 (talk) 05:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this right? 

message: I am a little concerned by the following sentence:
Tempier also overturned Aristotle on one point: God could have created more than one world (given His omnipotence) yet we know by revelation He made only one.
As this is not direct speech (or, at least, it is not marked as such), the structure implies by its use of 'we know' that all those reading share the same point of view. Furthermore, whether Tempier 'overturned' Aristotle or not rather depends on the question of a) there being a god; b) this god being omnipotent; and c) the bible and its contents being facts. As all the previous are matters of faith not fact, we can only logically assert an attempt to overturn Aristotle, as if we reject these arguments, the whole premise collapses. 
I shall happily assume 'good faith' and accept that this is simply the fault of a slighlty ambiguous turn of phrase. May I suggest something along the lines of:
Tempier also attempted to overturn Aristotle on one point: he argued that, if (as he believed)God is omnipotent, he could have created more than one world. However, the Christian bible makes it clear he chose to create only one.
I must also take objection to the capitalisation of pronouns. I will live with God being treated as proper noun, but the capitalisation of his and he seems to be favouring the beliefs of certain religions. Something I know Wikipedia is against.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.72.36.254 (talk) 13:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Remigius of Auxerre

message: It is incorrect that "During Remigius’s lifetime, music in the domain of the Church was monophonic, which would not change until the 12th and 13th centuries.", as currently stated in the Wikipedia article. The musica enchiriadis and scholica enchiriadis treatises, which date from the late 800s, contain the first direct evidence of organum, the earliest form of polyphony, and all of the examples use chants from the church liturgy. It is also evident that organum was at first an improvised art, and highly likely that it was used in practice long before ever being written down, possibly for centuries before the Carolingian era.

thread_title:  Missing information 

message: I, like a lot of you, wonder what a cocaine "high" from Vin Mariani would be like. You would think that ingesting it orally would yield considerably less noticeable results than when injected or snorted, but since Vin Mariani combined it with alcohol, how would that change things? Considering all of the factors mentioned (and not mentioned)—the concentration of cocaine, purity of the cocaine, the percentage of alcohol, the (presumed) lethal dose, etc.—would it be relevant to include an "effects" section in the article?
:It would probably just feel like being drunk and also on cocaine. The fact that the cocaine is administered per os would lead to slower, less efficient absorption. The other alkaloids from the coca might have some effect. Additionally, the concomitant administration of cocaine and ethanol has, I think, been shown to lead to the in-vivo formation of cocaethylene, but I'm not sure how relevant that is. 70.30.147.143 (talk) 16:43, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:President of the Victorian Legislative Council

message: A couple of the Presidents in the list had no or incorrect party affliation, which I have now fixed. (Re-member is a great source).
From 1949 until 1965 the Liberals were officially known as the Liberal and Country Party. This was until the leader of the Country Party, George Moss, demanded that (among other things) the Liberals drop the words and Country from its title if they wanted the Country Party to pass supply in the Legislative Council. The reason I bring this up is that a few the presidents had their party affilations listed as Liberal Country but some where incorrect. So I fixed that too, although prehaps listing both Liberal and Liberal and Country is redundent? Teiresias84 09:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Snuff (tobacco)

message: The article states that John Hill recanted his initial claim that snuff caused nasal cancer and the reference given is from "Techmedexperts.com", a company founded and ran by a former ER nurse and an assistant that serves as support for attorneys' legal work. Their website's expertise list is more than a page long and covers every subject know to man. While they claim to use experts in all fields listed, such are usually "experts for a price" and anyone following a trial knows how objective they are. I certainly would not use Techmedexperts.com as a reliable source of scientific information. 
A quick Google search on the subject produced only a few bloggers who rehash the claim without further support.

thread_title:  Lead 

message: "In recent years, because of the ban on smoking in enclosed public places, the practice of snuff-taking is once again gaining popularity among men as well as women."
This lacks both geographic and temporal context, but the reference (which is dead now, but I eventually found the article on the Internet archive) is to a UK newspaper, and it refers to the 2007 ban on smoking in enclosed public places.  But in all my time here, I knew only one person who took snuff; I certainly haven't observed people taking it up following the smoking ban, even though I came to think they might.  In any case, it makes it sound as though it's more in fashion than it is.  Furthermore, I don't see anything in the article about the gender of people who have taken up snuff; besides, even if we did have evidence of this then "men as well as women" is a somewhat absurd way to express it, rather than the balanced "both men and women".
As such, I'm rewriting this sentence to try and address these issues. — Smjg (talk) 20:44, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
