Talk:Prolog

message: I have removed my name from the infobox as one of the designers of Prolog. Although Prolog is based on the procedural interpretation of Horn clauses and SLD resolution, it includes several, additional features, including depth-first search and homoiconicity, which were added by Alain Colmerauer. These additional features are defining features of Prolog, which contribute greatly to its practical utility. 
SLD resolution is derived from SL resolution, which Donald Kuehner and I developed in Edinburgh for the unrestricted clausal form of logic. However, as far as I know, SL resolution was first implemented in Marseille by Philippe Roussel under Alain's direction, for use in question-answering. This earlier experimentation with SL resolution was also important for the subsequent design and implementation of Prolog. Robert Kowalski (talk) 10:56, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

AFAIK they are indeed extinct, but there are other extinct marine mammal species as well, aren't there?  Pinniped alone lists 22 extinct groups. Maybe it means "the only extinct order of marine mammals"? Jackrepenning (talk) 22:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: There has been recent systematics incorporating genetics, new fossil specimens, and morphological characters have found the litopterns to be closely related to perissodactyls. To have them included as paenungulates is wrong at this point. The rest of the South American native ungulates is up in the air, hence the tentative placement of Sudameriungulata here.

Talk:Social history of the piano

message: This doesn't seem very NPOV to me-what do other people think? - Adrian.
:Social history has a particular approach that has its critics, see historiography. Within the very well established academic discipline of social history this is how we study different social phenomenon. Perhaps you could explain why you do not think it is POV and either right an article from within the rubric of a different disciplinary approach and make reference to it here. Remember it is entitled social history of the piano. If you want to write a more general history of the piano article this could be linked to it, in my opinion. Alex756 17:16, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

thread_title: Is this article NPOV?

message: Hoping not to provoke rage, I've reverted:
:"Darwin wrote several pages on the evolution of music by sexual selection in The Descent of Man (1871)."
I think that the evolution of music is an important and interesting topic, and I know that Darwin isn't the only one who thinks that sexual selection was responsible; there's a certain amount of more recent work as well.  But does this really have much to do with the social history of the piano?  
I've tried to find a way to think of this sentence as relevant--for instance, perhaps we might suppose that when Darwin lounged on the couch and listened to Emma play, his inner animal was aroused.  But we have no way of knowing this, and indeed it seems more likely to me that Emma's piano playing was part of her lifelong task of humoring an invalid.  If there is to be an example of the piano as an instrument of seduction, there surely is a better one available than Emma and Charles!
On the other hand, the Wikipedia seems to have nothing at all on the evolution of music, including the sexual selection theory.  Could the author of this passage perhaps be persuaded to write at least a starter article in this area?  Thanks, Opus33 22:37, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Political virtues

message: I seriously wondered at first whether this might be a candidate for deletion. At first sight it didn't seem to contain much, just a single point (perhaps even an opinion) made by a single author, expressed in a single book, with neither the book nor the author having Wikipedia entries of their own (at least not yet). And the page has existed for some months now.
However, there are an awful lot of links from other articles to this page, most of them with no sign that they have ever been edited by whoever created this page. So it's possible that this is a useful stub. If it's a standard term in political science, for example, it could be expanded with the views and usages of other authors. I don't have the expertise to even tell, let alone do it.  
It's also possible, even likely, that this contributor has since created a userid (and if so, welcome). But if that's true, it's also possible that at least some of these many links are their own work too, and I havn't investigated that possibility.
It seems to have been their first try at an article, which may be why the stub warning wasn't standard, and contained no link. 
All this considered, all I've done for the moment is to fix the stub warning. The page may be a candidate for other action such as listing on Pages needing attention, I leave that to more experienced hands for the moment. Andrewa 16:38, 3 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I am new to editing the Wikipedia, so I will just post my comment here in case someone with more experience knows how to edit the text properly. My point is that I believe the definition for Bohr's magneton is wrong. It should read:
\mu_{\rm B} = \frac{e \hbar}{2 m_{\rm e}}. 
In other words, the current version contains an extra 2\pi in the denominator. I suppose the author intended
\mu_{\rm B} = \frac{e h}{4\pi m_{\rm e}}
but the h was mistyped as an h bar.

message: The Hanseatic City of Danzig or in Latin: Civitas Gedanensis and surrounding territory were an independend city state with ships flying the independend Danzig flag. Besides that, in 1726 Poland was governed by Friedrich August the Strong, Sacrum Imperium or Holy Roman Empire Elector of Saxony-Poland (Kurfuerst von Sachsen and King of Poland). Danzig did have its first Polish inhabitants after 1920 due to the Treaty of Versailles and the surrounding newly created so-called 'Polish Corridor'. The official name of the city remained Danzig until in early 1945 it became a Polish administered city under Soviet Union military occupation and was then renamed Gdansk.

Talk:Subtle energy

message: [Moved from Wikipedia:Village pump]
Please forgive me if this is not the right place for this, but I'm going round in circles trying to find anywhere more appropriate (though I've visited Wikipedia on plenty of occasions, I'm still a bit of a newbie as far as contribs go). 
I just stumbled across the subtle energy page in the Special:Newpages section. Having a background in physics, I am disturbed by its content, but am unsure about what action to take.
The article makes many claims that are difficult to address as the author uses terms like 'Etheric world', 'the worlds preceding [the Etheric world]' and 'proper world', etc., without explaining what these are supposed to mean.
Most concerning, however, are its claims regarding science:
Scientists refer to Subtle Energy as Dark Energy.
According to both ancient and modern sciences, the Subtle Energy of the Etheric world does not interact with physical matter directly.
...energetic processes in our world such as electric and magnetic vibrations and electromagnetic waves definitely initiate vibrations in the energy fields of the Etheric world and of all preceding worlds. [my emphasis]
(Sorry, I've pretty much quoted the whole article there!)
The article uses a reference by Yury Kronn that is questionable in itself. It seems confused over the distinction between the astrophysical concepts of 'dark energy' and 'dark matter'—this is not surprising given that the references relevant to such discussion are popular science or press accounts. I would be surprised if the paper has been peer reviewed—indeed, it has 'working draft' on it!
Since I can't follow much of the article, and object to the claims that I can decipher, I'm not sure what action I can take (as tempting as it is to get rid of the whole thing!). I don't wish to deny someone the right to propose a point of view, but this article does not seem to live up to the NPOV standards of Wikipedia, and its claims pertaining to science are incorrect as I interpret them. Should I instead stick a disputed tag on it?
Perhaps I should have put this on the Talk:Subtle energy page, but I don't know how regularly such a place would be visited. Also, I wonder how similar articles should be approached. Thanks :) Ajr 13:38, 4 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: I do not believe this redirect is correct.  Roughly speaking, subtle energy is to subtle body as matter is to person.  The subtle energy is a term being adopted by that portion of the scientific community which is open to this kind of thing.  (e.g., ISSSEEM  International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM) ) I know this topic is controversial, so I thought I would talk before I would edit.  I have submitted a companion suggestion that Energy (spirituality) be renamed (or redirected to) Subtle energy.

Talk:Joseon

message: Regarding the population of Joseon, Professor Shin Yong-ha and Kwon Tae-wan calculated it based on the population growth rate. (On Population Estimates of the Yi Dynasty, 1392-1910)
In addition, Professors Lee Young-gu and Lee Ho-cheol used the population growth rate of the modern era to reverse-calculate and count the figures. (The Estimation of Population in Choson Dynasty (Ⅱ))
However, Western historians, such as Fairbank, Reischauer, and Professor Craig, counted the population of Joseon based on household survey data, and they counted the population of Joseon in 1590 as 5 million. However, as recorded in the Geography of the Annals of King Sejong, the actual population of Joseon during the reign of King Sejong varied greatly to the extent that the actual population at that time could only be determined by multiplying the surveyed population by 8 to 10 times. Therefore, there is a problem with the views of Western historians who use only family register data to determine the population.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sega23days (talk • contribs) 09:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
