Talk:Hanukkah

message: Is there a reason why the lede uses the spelling "Chanukah" while the title and rest of the article use the "Hanukkah" spelling? Jessintime (talk) 21:10, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The lead now uses Hanukkah as the primary title, and I scoured the rest of the article to consistently change it to Hanukkah, as there were still quite a few instances of Chanukah sprinkled throughout the text. However, since 1/3 of the cited sources in the article use the Chanukah spelling, and footnotes aren't terribly accessible (especially on mobile), I added that spelling as a parenthetical alternative per MOS:LEADALT. --Ahecht (TALKPAGE) 14:11, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

FWIW, my system (Debian) has the following MIME types, which are missing or different from those listed:
* PBM: image/x-portable-bitmap
* PGM: image/x-portable-graymap

* ART: image/x-jg (for Johnson-Grace, I bet)
* CPT: image/x-corelphotopaint
* XCF: application/x-xcf
* EPS: application/postscript (same as PS)
* AI: application/postscript (same as PS)
* BMP: image/x-ms-bmp (an obsolete MIME type?)
The last 3 are different from the table here.  I don't know if these are more correct or less correct than the ones already here.  Though image/x-ms-bmp sounds like an obsolete MIME type to me.  Then again, this page says Windows bitmaps have no fewer than 12 MIME types.  (Debian switched in January 2004 from image/bmp to image/x-ms-bmp consistency with Imagemagick, apparently.

thread_title: Debian MIME types

message: There's an article Image file formats that I think we merge and/or reorganize. Also, according to Wikipedia:Naming convention#Lists we should name the articles "List of… " something. The question is, is it graphics formats, or image formats? The :Category:Graphics file formats already exists.
I believe the Image file formats article should be called Image file or Graphics file and talk about what an image is. Then, it should have a "see also" for the specifics to a List of image files, perphaps listing the most popular on the former, but still pointing to the latter.
Also, this page needs a style cleanup.

Talk:Microtrauma

message: microtrauma are actually required in the building of stronger muscle, ligaments and tendons. for instance bodybuilders routinely expose themselves to microtrauma by regular intense anaerobic exercise. it is in the recouperation phase that the body repairs the trauma to an improved state - thus tendons are microscopically thicker and there are slightly more muscle fibres.

message: Mel Etitis, why don't you discuss the fact that the term Cosmotheism predates the publication of Mordecai Neshinyahy's book.  Do you personally believe that he "created the term"?  If so why? Do you have any evidence?  The term Cosmotheism predates both Neshinyahu and Pierce.

message: * The extent to which socialism plays a part in modern New Zealand politics depends on which definitions of socialist are used, but few mainstream politicians would describe themselves using the word "socialist".
This is the topic sentence of the section entitled, "Present status of New Zealand socialism". This sentence promises to describe the various definitions of socialism or "socialist", but I did not find any definitions in this or any other section of the article.
I did find some mentions of a clash between those using the word socialism as a label for various groups or people, and those who object that the label was misapplied. I don't come away from the article with a clear sense of the reasons either side gave in this clash for applying or rejecting the label.

message: "Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorem is sometimes alleged to undermine logicism because it shows that no particular axiomatization of mathematics can decide all statements, although such theorem itself is based in logic." 
I am unable to make sense of this sentence. Not only is it grammatically iffy, it seems to be saying that Gödel's theorems are logic-dependent in some nontrivial way. They are not. Moreover, Gödelian incompleteness is not "sometimes alleged to undermine" logicism: it is the mainstream view that Gödel killed logicism outright. Some reasonable people disagree with this, but the right place to describe the neo-logicist program(s) is the page on logicism. 
Thus, I'm deleting the sentence. Should anyone wish to reinstate it, they should at least provide references to both nay- and yay-sayers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.224.188.19 (talk) 00:23, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
