Talk:Demogorgon

message: Pronapides (Pronapides of Athens?) later claimed that Demogorgon was the ancestor of all of the Greek gods, a claim that was accepted by many medieval scholars.  Later writers often conflated Demogorgon with Hades, or downgraded him to the status of a human magician. Can anyone make any sense of this? Sounds like Demonological doubletalk. Wetman 04:26, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: This article should clear up the confusion on this subject, not be an example of it. Someone thoughtlessly deleted "phantom" in the descriptive first line. Please, in order usefully to edit this article, one must understand what a "phantom" is. The article explains how the misunderstanding that is "Demogorgon" came about. If you are not quite sure whether you do understand,   read the article again, more slowly.  The current version of the article as it is once again is the sensible, fully-exampled version — another someone demanded "references", when the article is essentially a string of references: it should be self-explanatory. --Wetman (talk) 08:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "Phantom"

message: Being a Christian though Greek-myth based being of utter cataclysmic destruction yet of demi-god power reminds me of Apollyon. I wonder if that'd make a good "See also"? What of straight Greek monsters among the gods, like Typhon? 65.102.40.8 (talk) 06:33, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apollyon 

message: I am not sure that "Lactantius Placidus" is Christian at all, and I think that the references to his being Christian add a misleading slant to this article. "Lactantius" is actually a collection of glosses and exegeses taken from a large number of sources, and is not the product of one author. (The attribution to comes from a note by an interpolator who identifies himself after ad Theb. 6.432.) The commentary nowhere mentions Jesus or any of his disciples, and does not even discuss the Alter of Mercy (12.481-92), at which, according to Acts 17:34, Paul converted Dionysius the Areopagite. Similarly, the gloss on the "Unknowable God" (ad Theb. 4.516-17) does not mention Christianity (even in cloaked terms) or Judaism.
I would like to re-edit this and remove the references to Christianity, but since the Lactantius' Christianity plays such a strong role in the article, it would take a massive re-write. Hariboa (talk) 12:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was Lactantius Christian? 

message: Can't we possibly have a translation of the poetic quotation from El Bernardo? I have cobbled one together as a suggestion:-
Here Demogorgon is seated
On his fatal bench, whose decree
Of the supreme causes it is kept
For inviolable and celestial precept.
The frugal ones and his delicate stamen
To whose bobbin the world is fastened,
The ugly death and living lucid
And the black lake of the dark negligence
— (I, Book the Second, strophe 19)

message: The technical details section just talks about the advantages and disadvantages of MMX with a little on how it interacts. It's hardly informative on the way in which the extensions work.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.82.95 (talk) 00:39, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The technical details do actually tell you how MMX works: using 64-bit registers, you can perform operations—like add/subtract—on 2, 4 or 8 numbers simultaneously. It's just that it's implied you know what sort of operations are usually available to processors, and what it means to have 64-bit registers on a 32-bit CPU. The section is also interlaced with factoids about aliasing the FPU— - stuff that is not necessary to knowing how MMX actually works, it's only an implementation detail. The whole section could be rewritten to be clearer to laymen, with diagrams on packed operations etc. C xong (talk) 01:19, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Varenyky

message: Are varenyky/vareniki Ukrainian enough to move the article to "varenyky", and use primarily Ukrainian words in the place of Russian in the article?  —Michael Z. 2006-01-20 02:17 Z
:Oh, they are Ukrainian enough, but to figure out which spelling has more rights to serve as a title would require adding an additional question to a population census :).  I honestly don't know how to handle this.  Two entries would be silly indeed, and using one as primary (no matter which) is unfair to another country.  If it helps (probably not), I didn't know Ukrainians claim varen[yi]ki as their national dish until I was 18.

Talk:Consilience (book)

message: This is a controversial book. Wilson knew it would enrage many non-scientists. Much of the book was crafted by Wilson in anticipation of the complaints that he knew would be heaped upon him for daring to discuss the unity of knowledge. For those of Wilson's critics who actually bother to read the book, after they are done dismissing the idea of consilience (as Wilson explained they would try to do) they really should take the time to address the fact that Wilson predicted how consilience would be dismissed without the critics ever bothering to discuss the specifics of the book.
To label this book as being "slight" provides only the point of view of those who Wilson knew would reject the idea of consilience. It would be neutral and objective to first describe the controversy over the idea of consilience and then say, "Critics of Wilson's book about consilience have tried to dismiss it as being slight. Readers of the book who find value in it often describe it as a book that deals constructively with very weighty matters that confront modern society."
To say that this book is about a way "to unite the hard sciences with the humanities" is like saying a Shakespeare play is a way to unite nouns and verbs. Wilson makes clear that consilience can be sought between ALL branches of human knowledge. Wilson provides many specific proposals for how to seek consilience between what are currently isolated domains of human knowledge and intellectual exploration. An evaluation of the merits of Wilson's book can only be built rationally upon analysis of Wilson's specific proposals for unifying adjacent domains of knowledge. For example, Wilson points out that we can associate each meme that a person has to the specific neural network that allows that meme to exist in thought and guide behavior. This idea is as refreshing, powerful, simple, dramatic and world-shattering as was the idea that a gene is a specific part of a chromosome.
When I have the time, I will make a list of the many other specific paths towards consilience that Wilson discusses in his book. This will provide a basis  for objective evaluation of the book. JWSchmidt 06:28, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Any objections?
--Dablaze 05:55, Oct 21, 2004 (UTC)
: No objections; I've already un-moved significant part of Lada back to separate AvtoVAZ artice; the merger was unfounded, because Lada is a trade mark of AvtoVAZ, it doesn't make any part of its official name. I also updated a redirect in this article. 
: I do believe AutoVAZ is widely accepted, maybe even more so than AvtoVAZ, but the latter is official company name since 1990s. Redirects from VAZ and AutoVaz would take care of any confusion it makes. --DmitryKo 17:06, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I think at that time (late 80s/early 90s) EMI did not have a major presence in the US/canadian territories, so Kraftwerk's albums were lisenced to WEA group, who owned Elektra/Asylum records.

:It means that the band's set-lists and live-song arrangements from 1990 onwards have tended to be similar to the selection and style presented on The Mix album. (And, indeed, when there have been changes since then, they've been further along the trajectory started by The Mix, rather than any returns the styles used on the original album versions).--feline1 (talk) 14:43, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reworded this. To complicate matters the arrangements used in the band's 1990 live shows were a kind of half-way house ("Radioactivity" owed a lot more to the original, whereas "The Robots" is closer to the version on The Mix). Essentially the band used The Mix as an opportunity to reboot their sound. They've subsequently tinkered with the live versions; 2005's Minimum-Maximum is different again. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:42, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
