message: What do you mean by "holiday" as in the phrase "Holiday greetings" used as heading for section 2.3? I mean, don't Americans say "vacation" instead of "holiday"? --Fandelasketchup (talk) 11:37, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusion over section title 

message: It's easy to open this article on a mobile phone, see the various sections (grammar differences, spelling differences) and then wonder where's the "pronunciation differences" section. After this, you may read the notice on top that says: 
"For a comparison of typical American versus British pronunciation differences, see Comparison of General American and Received Pronunciation."
Since inadvertently skipping that notice is easier than it seems, I think a brief section  with a high-level view of the pronunciation differences should be included (maybe some basics on rhoticity and the LOT vowel), and then a link added to the main article with more information. In that way, someone that reasonably expects a section on pronunciation differences would see it beside all the other sections. It's easier to miss it as a message on top. 2A0C:5A81:4303:2100:28C5:6307:223B:77D (talk) 01:08, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Augustine of Hippo

message: The formatting of the Confessions quote is a little messed up due to the placement it's adjacent images ("Saint Augustine and his mother, Saint Monica", "The earliest known portrait of Saint Augustine", and "The Conversion of St. Augustine"). Monsoon Bowline (talk) 23:10, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Confessions' Quote 

message: Hello! I’d like to point out that while I think it’s absolutely correct to attribute to the young Augustine an adherence to Neoplatonism, it is not correct to identify the latter as an “Hellenistic Philosophy” both as a chronological remark (it starts in III century AD, well after the conventional date that marks end of Hellenistic Age, 32 BC), and as a remark about philosophical content (actually, as the Neoplatonism entry correctly shows, it is a philosophy that comes out in contrast of Hellenistic doctrines such as Stoicism, Epicureanism and Scepticism). 93.44.82.73 (talk) 21:26, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neoplatonism is not an Hellenistic Philosophy 

message: Hello! I have a very minor criticism about the "Jews" subsection (3.3.3). Currently, the last sentence reads: The sentiment sometimes attributed to Augustine that Christians should let the Jews "survive but not thrive" (it is repeated by author James Carroll in his book Constantine's Sword, for example) is apocryphal and is not found in any of his writings." Firstly, the citation is incorrect, as it refers to page 218 as well, not just 219. Secondly, it is true that the "survive but not thrive" idea does not directly occur in Augustine's writings, but James Carroll does not attribute this to Augustine either. He prefaces the "survive but not thrive" quote by calling it part of a "trail of pseudo-Augustinian anti-Jewish writings." (Constantine's Sword 218).
I think the reference to Carroll is simply uneccessary here. The TIME article cited (flawed as it is for mincing Carroll's words but that's a different discussion) does not really add to the page other than provide a recent example of supposed false attribution. I think the article would be better served by a different source, such as Fredriksen. "Paul." (1999). In Fitzgerald, Allan D (ed.). Augustine Through the Ages: An Encyclopedia. Wm B Eerdmans. ISBN 978-0-8028-3843-8.

Talk:Amathus

message: Corn?!?!?!?!?  I thought that was brought over from the New World.  Can someone confirm this?
----
In older English usage, "corn" meant any kind of grain. Most often wheat, but sometimes other grains, and sometimes non-food items of about the same size and shape as a grain of wheat. This usage was perhaps still common at the time of the 1911 encyclopedia (though i think it remained in use longer in England than North America). I think this usage is now almost dead, except that classical scholars seem to use it still. In this case we can be sure that one of the old-world grain crops is meant. Most likely some kind of wheat, but perhaps barley, millet, rye, or one of the older grain crops that is no longer grown.
----
The strong Phoenician sympathies bit can be interpreted by the existence of non greek population(eteocypriots), as documented by bilingual inscriptions in the cypriot syllabary found in Amathus.

Talk:Accidental property

message: I'll be back to work on this latter, a second reading makes me think that the discusson of possible worlds with it's indirect reference to contemporary modal logic does not belong in the middle of talk about the Aristotelian logic, though I do think it belongs on this page. MRC
One problem with the existing text: it says that being single is an essential property of bachelors.  This isn't quite right.  True, being single is an essential property of bachelors qua bachelors; but being single is an accidental property of bachelors simpliciter, since for any bachelor you care to name there is a possible world in which he's married.--Algernon1980 10:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Abraham Lincoln

message: An edit on May 27, 2024 was "Moving Category:United States politicians killed during the Civil War to Category:Politicians killed in the American Civil War."
I don't think that "during" should have been changed to "in," because to be killed in a war is usually understood to mean on the battlefield. Even "during" is problematic in Lincoln's case, because Lee had already surrendered when Lincoln was killed, and, as it states at American Civil War, "Appomattox is often referred to symbolically as the end of the war." Even though, as it states at American Civil War, Lee's surrender only "set in motion" the end of the war, it nevertheless does not seem right to say that Lincoln was killed during the war. But "during" at least is better than "in." I will not edit this but will leave it to others to do so if they wish. Maurice Magnus (talk) 10:51, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Applications 

message: The entire "History" section is unnecessary and misleading.
All it does is explain what an audio signal is, in a simplistic and incorrect way at that, before tagging a random sentence about how the entire concept was important in early radio broadcasting. I propose its deletion; the single relevant sentence can be moved to the introduction paragraph if it is considered useful.
Further, the section on analog signals is mismatched with that for digital signals. An article already exists for both analog signal processing and analog signals themselves: why is this not linked? The syntactical structure of the description is also very confusing and disjointed, e.g. "is usually a continuous, non-discrete, electrical." An electrical what?
I note that in both of these sections an editor has also placed a link to their userpage as some form of signature. This will be removed immediately.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.148.123 (talk) 04:11, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Very interesting, thank you for sharing that.The problem we would face is in directly connecting that to Apocalypse Now as the work the inspiration derived from. The Ride of the Valkyries was used in film long before Die Deutsche Wochenschau - in The Birth of a Nation. So, absent a specific statement from Francis Ford Coppola that the former was the inspiration, rather than the latter, we'd be engaging in original research. The only reference I ran across that discussed this - https://flypaper.soundfly.com/discover/how-apocalypse-now-etched-wagners-ride-valkyries-into-our-brains/ -  was regarding the efforts to use Sir Georg Solti's version, as  stated by editor Walter Murch.

Since some American soldiers surfed during the Vietnam War, it is possible (or even likely) that both Vietnamese civilians and possibly even Viet Cong (of a certain age) did surf as well, just speculation but copy-catting is human nature.40.142.183.146 (talk) 22:09, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
