Talk:Guarani Aquifer

message: This article is a duplicate of Guarani aquifer. That article is more political and possibly POV. However, the film reference might be valid and worthy of inclusion. I think the capitalisation of this article title is better, but what do you think? Should we merge the two articles and retain Guarani aquifer as a redirect, or vice versa?. An alternative is to relocate the content to a page following the format of Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System. Opinions? --ChrisJMoor 03:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

text: What I'd like a source for is the Asuka comparison, since after I removed the comment as unverifyable/POV it was reinstated without comment - it doesn't merely make a comparison either, the comment suggests a direct homage but without source we could just as easily say she was based on orphan Annie.

message: I'm removing the following sentence:
 
: Aside from being a contributing factor in the development of civilization, salt was also used in the military practice of salting the earth by various peoples, beginning with the Assyrians.[5]
Ridley's article, [5], says exactly the opposite (famously) -- that the salting of the earth of the Earth at Carthage was a 20th century invention. This may well be an interesting anecdote for a reference in a popular culture section, but I'm not aware of any attestation of a military use of salt for destroying the fertility of a vanquished enemy's soil.

Talk:Newtonian motivations for general relativity

message: Hi, Roger (thanks for registering, BTW!).  I appreciate your attempt to ease the transition from Newtonian gravity to gtr, but I have some suggestions for improvement:
#Fix the obvious format problem near top of page, perhaps by simply removing the Earth template entirely (do you really need all that data?)
#This means that objects close to each other in space and moving together with the same velocity continue to co-move with each other. This allows us to think of gravity as a curvature of spacetime doesn't really help the desired audience, I think.
#"Tests for flatness" similarly (maybe you aren't done?).
#The field equation for Newtonian gravitition is the Poisson equation, not the Ricci scalar equation you wrote down. And a much more direct route, more in keeping with MTW, is to compute the tidal acceleration of nearby radially falling test particles near the Earth, as I did in tidal tensor.  This is of course ultimately equivalent to what you wrote, but I think the planned exposition of how Fermi normal coordinates relate to the Bel decomposition will bring all this out much more clearly.
#"potential well" for orbiting spacecraft: did you confuse this with tidal accelerations?  Please note that I have computed the correct tidal acclerations for a Hagihara observer in a stable circular orbit about a Schwarzschild orbit in Frame_fields_in_general_relativity.
#Coplanar elliptical orbits: nice idea, nice figures, but format problem.
#Tip: use \cos etc. for trig functions.
#Overall, the present version is too disorganized and confusing for the intended audience.  Maybe some of this can be carefully merged with the existing article on (Newtonian) tidal tensor?
Hope this helps ---CH 03:54, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Aeschylus (disambiguation)

message: User:Aeschylus1991 added this entry in August: "Aeschylus is also the name of a Greek demon of Genius". The same editor also added the following passage to the article on the playwright: "'When Hades kidnapped Persephone, Demeter sent Aeschylus the demon of Genius to the underworld to search for her. The demon lied to Demeter at Hades command and said he was unsuccessful in his search.'" This claim seems pretty dubious, and I haven't found anything to substantiate it, so I'm removing the entry.

Talk:New Philosophers

message: Nietzsche was certainly no Nihilist, and the beliefs of these New Philosophers sound more in line with Nietzsche than their opponents do. It sounds like the last sentence of the first paragraph was meant to be "As such their opponents consider their ideas as belonging to the same nihilistic [sic], antihumanistic tradition as Nietzsche and Heidegger." I know little of the New Philosophers, and won't make this change, someone who knows more than me should research this.
:Nietzsche certainly was a nihilist according to his own standards. However, his positive attitude towards truth and recognition of (human) nature distinguishes him from mainstream nihilism. This elements the New Philosophers shared with Nietzsche. However, the phrase was based on Bernard-Henri Lévy's attack on Sartre, that he accused of ignoring humanism. I think you are right the word "nihilistic" has no place in this sentence. Rokus01 08:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Leib Kvitko

message: Are the poems included on this page in violation of copyright?  Also, since they are encoded here neither in the originally the original Yiddish (they are originally Yiddish, correct?) nor in the language of this Wikipedia page, what is exactly the purpose of having entire poems reproduced in Russian? If a misunderstanding some essential purpose could someone explain? Thanks. Deborah-jl Talk 04:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The answer for the first question is No, it is not a violation. USSR adopted the copyright convention quite lately, so everything published before 1973 is PD in the USA and everything published before 1950ies is PD everywhere, including Russia. The answer for the second question is more difficult, since I have the same doubts. We can argue that probably more people knew the Kvitko poetry via its Russian translations than either through Yiddish originals or English translations, but I would agree it is a weak argument. It should be moved to the Wikisource or just deleted. abakharev 05:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspected something like what you said about copyright; great.  In that case, I think a move to wikisource is a great idea.

Talk:1990 Bosnian municipal elections

message: Was the caption under the map (and most of the article) done by a color-blind person, someone with serious nationalistic prejudices - or both?
Cause not only is the single non-nationalistic, socialist, party completely marginalized and ignored in the article - it is also labeled as "Serbian" in the caption under the map.
Apparently, back in 2012, someone made a map which presented municipalities won by Bosniak nationalist and Croatian nationalist parties in green and blue respectively - while injecting STRONG prejudices conflating Serbs and socialists.
Both by designating Serbian nationalist and socialist municipalities an ever so slightly different shade of red - AND by mislabeling the Serbian nationalist municipalities won in a 1990 election with a name of a party which wasn't formed until 1996.
But once it WAS formed it WAS Serbian, nominally social-democratic AND very soon it abandoned any socialist pretenses and revealed itself to be extremely nationalist and populist. Though it still has "socialist" in its name. 
And while maps changed over time, caption still maintains "Reds are Serbs", both literally and figuratively. 
Which is a pretty serious prejudicial conflation in an article about elections which were prologue for a war along those very same ethnic and nationalist divisions.
And which clearly still exist.
Further bias can be gleaned by the single lonely note under the table of "Results", noting that "Nationalistic parties did not win only in Tuzla, Vareš and Novo Sarajevo". 
Wow! Really? Well that's some potentially useful "non-information" there. Who did win then, in those municipalities? Those who shall not be named?
Wouldn't that information be more useful than normalizing everything according to nationalists?
And shouldn't those results be in the table too, instead of being relegated to a footnote about "not winning"? 
What? Are those municipalities less important than those won by nationalist parties? --89.146.152.225 (talk) 11:28, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

After 1943, when his girflriend left Berlin for good and joined him in Rumia, the two still lived in the same room, until January of 1945. That is why Erika was not born there but rather in the house of Paweł Obersieg, a friend of Hermann's. When Karl Hermann (steinbach's father) was sent to the Eastern Front, his pregnant wife (Erika's sister was born a tad later) lost any chance to get a decent flat in Rumia.

Talk:Oankali

message: I wonder if this article, along with Ooloi, should both be merged into the article/stub on Xenogenesis.  Both Oankali and Ooloi are critical elements of Butler's trilogy, but they don't have any particular significance outside of that work.  That would argue for discussing them within the context of the work.
If separate articles for Oankali and Ooloi are kept, they should be reworked to be presented as elements in a work of fiction.  That doesn't necessarily mean getting rid of any information presented here, but it does mean sourcing that information to the fictional works that it first appeared in.  It would also help to add some context as to what these fictional elements mean as part of the novels.  It would be easier to do that, of course, if the discussions were part of the Xenogenesis article. Nareek 04:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
