Talk:Segmented sleep

message: 'Segmented sleep' is the same thing as Polyphasic sleep, therefore I propose that they be merged. makeswell (talk) 13:56, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose.  Segmented sleep is the term usually used for this (historical) phenomenon: a night's sleep with the period of quiet wakefulness in the middle.  It is not "the same thing" as polyphasic sleep.  The article Segmented sleep is long enough to be its own article, and is a unique form of biphasic sleep.  (The other common form of biphasic sleep with the traditional long siesta, could also be mentioned in the Biphasic section of Polyphasic sleep.)  The article Polyphasic sleep is plenty long and doesn't need a big section about segmented sleep added, though it is a "parent article" and the phenomenon certainly should be mentioned there, which it presently is.  --Hordaland (talk) 14:37, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Segmented sleep]] (2010) 

message: These look a little too much like someone has searched Gutenberg for the phrase "first sleep" and assumed that all results are talking about the practice of segmented sleep - the Wadd and Philadelphia Record quotes read more as if they're using the term "second sleep" to mean "sleeping in" for a while longer after waking from a full night's sleep. --McGeddon (talk) 08:53, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

It might only be worth a minor mention on the Judge Dredd page (if at all - I have not bothered mentioning it in other entries) and doesn't mean it'd need a separate entry. The Polity only really emerged as background villians in the later episodes (and it all felt a bit throw away at the end and a rather convoluted plot device) and also doesn't warrant its own entry.

replies: text: I didn't remove it, i was going to wait.  The point of having a seperate article is that this is a research method used by a notable scientist, throught several books as well as consulting work for the DEA and so on;  It is the rating system generally used by people describing their experiences.  With that said, I don't think it's absolutely imperative or obvious that this should be here.  But i'm not sure where it says that articles have to be feature worthy in order to exist-  Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Importance make no such claims.

replies: text: I don't think they showed pornographic material. It'd be against the Broadcasting Guidelines not only for the Australia-wide broadcasting authority, but for SBS's own guidelines. Because of that, I've modified the article to say "mildly pornographic". They showed a lot of sex on there, but there was no hardcore stuff that suggested it was pornographic. 202.126.97.233 07:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rothbard refs 

message: The article uses the term 'inflationary' rather loosely.  In real life, the only things that really matter are productivity and some sort of an element of trust.  If a government prints money and just hands it to people, e.g. to buy votes, that IS inflationary.  On the other hand if a government prints money and uses it to cause real gains in wealth and infrastructure, that is not inflationary.
Simple example...  Two sailors are shipwrecked on an island.  They have five dollar bills left over from their previous lives and there are five clams on the island:  a dollar is clearly worth one clam.
But one sailor takes a machete which survived on their lifeboat, hacks up a coconut tree and creates a crude printing press, kills an octopus, uses the press and the octopus ink to  print five new dollar bills and pays them to the second sailor to dig up 15 more clams.  The island now has ten dollars and twenty clams;  the guy basically just doubled the value of money on the island by printing it!!
The only meaningful things in that picture were productivity and an element of trust.  No gold was needed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swolf46 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I would like to suggest the first sentence be changed to read "...introduced the term 'limerence', which means to fall in love."  Then have "fall in love" take one to the "fall in love" page.75.56.51.96 (talk) 14:36, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
