Talk:List of newspaper comic strips

message: I think that the Marvel characters like Spider-Man and DC like Superman should be removed from the list because if you keep the you will have to add the list from List of DC Comics publications and the one with Marvel comics on it too, so I think they should be deleted but a link to those two pages should be at the bottom.
:We've done our best to weed out comic book characters.  However, some characters like Spider-Man have had their own comic strips independent of their comic books and thus should be included on that basis. Gamaliel 19:03, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

If it's going to be added, it is Beau Peep by Roger Kettle and Andrew Christine a british comic strip that began on 2nd November 1978.  I don't know if the strip has stopped though.

thread_title:  beau peep? 

message: Hello.  As I have stated above, I have recently starting reviewing which comic strips were syndicated for at least ten years through 1995 for eventual possible inclusion on this list, on the basis that any comic strip which has been syndicated for at least 10 years probably qualifies as significant.  After having added the "A"'s and "B"'s from the list, I find that the page is already longer than would be wanted.  I have myself never even attempted splitting a list like this, and realize that there is a very good chance that I would screw it up big time.  On that basis, if there are any of you out there who have greater experience in such things, I am asking you to do so.  I am afraid like I said that I would make a number of serious mistakes if I were to try it.  Thank you. Badbilltucker 18:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Refugee

message: The "Issues" section of this article would benefit from the addition of a new subsection on refugee representation. While the more tangible issues currently addressed, such as medical problems and security threats, are also extremely important, the portrayal refugees by foreign governments, NGOs, humanitarian groups, and the media has a strong silencing effect on their narratives. Although public discussion on this issue is lacking, it is a problem observed by scholars to have had important ramifications in the lives of refugees. Therefore, I propose the addition of the following section under the “Issues” heading:
===Representation===
The category of “refugee” tends to have a universalizing effect on those classified as such. It draws upon the common humanity of a mass of people in order to inspire public empathy, but doing so can have the unintended consequence of silencing refugee stories and erasing the political and historical factors that led to their present state.
Humanitarian groups and media outlets often rely on images of refugees that evoke emotional responses and are said to speak for themselves.
The refugees in these images, however, are not asked to elaborate on their experiences, and thus, their narratives are all but erased. 
From the perspective of the international community, “refugee” is a performative status equated with injury, ill health, and poverty. When people no longer display these traits, they are no longer seen as ideal refugees, even if they still fit the legal definition. For this reason, there is a need to improve current humanitarian efforts by acknowledging the “narrative authority, historical agency, and political memory” of refugees alongside their shared humanity.
Dehistorizing and depoliticizing refugees can have dire consequences. Rwandan refugees in Tanzanian camps, for example, were pressured to return to their home country before they believed it was truly safe to do so. Despite the fact that refugees, drawing on their political history and experiences, claimed that Tutsi forces still posed a threat to them in Rwanda, their narrative was overshadowed by the U.N. assurances of safety. When the refugees did return home, reports of reprisals against them, land seizures, disappearances, and incarceration abounded, as they had feared. 2607:FB60:1011:2006:CC2:95AA:212F:D98E (talk) 19:17, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Bold text How many hours of sun light does the wandering Jew need?
-- Wandering dew seems to cope with both lashings, and bugger all sunlight. But neither exposure to sun or dark in excess. Basically it likes the shade (where it grows thick and robust), or semi-sunlit (where it grows spindly and prolific). Main thing is it likes moist conditions, so no matter how much light it gets, make sure it doesn't get too dry.L-Bit 09:22, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:William S. Burroughs

message: There should be more info on Burroughs' spoken word recordings in this article: the infobox at the bottom already includes a number of them, but they are either not or barely mentioned in the article. At the least, the albums that are in the infobox should be compiled into a discography in the article, for the sake of consistency. Recordings like "The 'Priest' They Called Him" especially really exemplify Burroughs' influence in a broad range of media and his legacy, and therefore deserve to be mentioned in the main text.

thread_title:  Audio recordings and discography 

message: i get the feeling comments on burroughs politics are made by people that have not actually read his work, at least with any genuine interest. he was more interested in the visual arts, poetry, literature, the occult, science, then any kind of coherent political stance.  what is said on this page is conjecture based on other things he has said that were not intrinsically political. 
he never espoused coherent political convictions. the vague conjectures of him being to the right is not consistent with other things he has said, like his dislike of philistinism, bourgeois ethics, orthodoxy, consumer culture.  he was always subversive. he was more philosophical than political, more interested in the bigger human questions not so much on what the right policy. although anyone from 1960 reading this would be in disbelief as at the time nixon was crusading the drug war, etc. Shhsbavavaa (talk) 02:47, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree that Burroughs was 'to the right' also, but I think it would be a mistake in general to try to describe him as 'right wing', 'left wing', or even apolitical, and that a lot of things that he did hold interest and write on were intrinsically political. As politics are concerned when writing about Burroughs I think the take in this article should be to only discuss specific things that have been said instead of trying to attribute any over arching view.

Talk:Robert J. Flaherty

message: Moana is set in the South Seas.  Man of Aran takes place in Ireland.  -- Zoe
Ok, thanks.  --KQ
Interesting use of the term "participant-observer."  Implies Flaherty was a trained anthropologist - or that simply joining a culture is enough to make one an anthropologist (Flaherty is listed as a "visual anthropologist" on another page).  
I guess that makes a lot of people anthropologists and a participant-observers.  Flaherty was an amazing man, but saying he was an anthropologist is like saying Napoleon was a psychologist (he was a psychologist, in some sense of the term - but not the way it is usually used in contemporary language, as an academic discipline and professional designation).--Levalley (talk) 06:16, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Personal life, then discography? 

message: The Legacy section already contains the following Ricks point: "Literary critic Christopher Ricks published Dylan's Visions of Sin, an appreciation of Dylan's work. Following Dylan's Nobel win, Ricks reflected: "I'd not have written a book about Dylan, to stand alongside my books on Milton and Keats, Tennyson and T.S. Eliot, if I didn't think Dylan a genius of and with language."
 
To this has been added a very long quote from Hitchens: "Christopher Hitchens recalled hearing Dylan at the Poetry Society at Oxford: "I was fairly soon hooked on what Philip Larkin called Dylan's 'cawing, derisive voice', and felt almost personally addressed by the lyrics of "Masters of War" and " Hard Rain", which seemed to encapsulate the way in which I felt about Cuba. Then there were the loving and less cawing strains of "Mr. Tambourine Man", "She Belongs to Me" and "Baby Blue"...I've since had all kinds of differences with Professor Christopher Ricks, but he is and always has been correct in maintaining that Dylan is one of the essential poets of our time, and it felt right to meet him tin the company of Shelley and Milton and Lowell.”
 
This repeats Ricks’s point, adds more poets (Shelley, Milton and Lowell) and tells us about Hitchens’s many differences with Professor Ricks "but he is and always has been correct in maintaining that Dylan is one of the essential poets of our time." Surely this just makes the Legacy section seem repetitive and bloated. Moreover, the Larkin phrase, "cawing and derisive", is already in the article. So I’ve cut this long addition.

Talk:Addition of natural numbers

message: I've never found an explanation about the sum of odd numbers, taking the first, second, third and so on. Let the odd numbers set be: {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, ...}.
Can someone tell me why the sum of n odd numbers, from the first, is always = n*n?
For we have 1*1=1 (first number); 2*2=4 (first number [1] plus second number [3], [1+3=4]); 3*3=9 (1+3+5=9); 4*4=16 (1+3+5+7=16); 5*5=25 (1+3+5+7+9=25); 6*6=36 (1+3+5+7+9+11=36) and so on.
So, if we have the sum of n successive odd numbers, starting by 1, than we'll have n to the square. I've never heard anything about such funny matter. Isn't it interesting? Will it be of some use? Time will tell.

message: There have been numerous discussions about proofs subpages within the math project recently. There is not much support for keeping them, so over time some editors are working on merging the encyclopedic content. I am not sure that any of those facts needs to be proved in an encyclopedia article (which is not meant to be an axiomatic development). There are many good textbooks that will have these proofs and be a better resource to students.
Independent of that, I think that the content here could be merged into the main article on natural numbers. It seems odd to have a separate page devoted only to saying that addition of natural numbers is a commutative group operation. — Carl (CBM · talk) 00:06, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
