Talk:Self-knowledge (psychology)

message: There are thousands of teachers who claim to teach 'self-knowledge'.  Surely listing them all here would not be appropriate. --John Brauns (talk) 06:47, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should Prem Rawat's teachings be linked here? 

message: I'm really pleased to see this article developing so much, although it looks incredibly ambitious. Some of the sections need more spelling out to make sense to the lay reader, but that could lead to it being too long: WP articles are recommended not to go over 80K
* Bold text was overused. MOS:BOLD is the style guide for this.
* The list of deficiencies would seem to need Miswanting (There's a Gilbert and Wilson ref for this that you can find through Google Scholar).
* Wikipedia articles are meant to be flowing prose, not lists. The list form of a lot of the article at the moment probably reflects that it's at an early stage, but the overall readability could be improved by joining up some lists into paragraphs.
Despite quibbles, it's great that the article is developing and that it now has a really impressive number of good academic sources.

Talk:Osteotome

message: Hallo everybody, I found you among the contributors to the article on the osteotome on the English Wikipedia. The article is a stub and I am not sure if the definitions in the first lines are correct. 
The osteotome (German: Osteotom) that I know was invented by the German physician Bernhard Heine in 1830 and was used for opening the skull. In my  Commons gallery  you can see the pictures that I uploaded, I have some more on my computer. The usage of the instrument can be seen in the Bernhard Heine article. My question: Do you know anything about the other meanings and types of this instrument?
Hans555 17:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: clearly, the instrument referred to as an osteotome in dental surgery differsw drastically from that called an osteotome by orthopaedic surgeons. in ortho. surgery, an osteotme differs from a chisel only in the fact that that the edge is two sided. otherwise, it's a chisel, pure and simple.Toyokuni3 (talk) 18:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Modeling chocolate

message: Modeling Chocolate is not a single product from a single company, in fact, I'm not even sure if you CAN buy it from a single source.  It is something that cake makers make themselves from two simple ingredients for which there are thousands of brands names for.  I'm no expert on the subject of modeling chocolate, but I wanted to know what it was and there was no entry for it on wikipedia so I did some research and created this page to get things going.  I'm hoping that someone who knows more will update it with more information.  The information I supplied, however simple, has been verified.
You should cite your sources on the main page and make certain you mention its importance in the world of cake-decorating. I know I've heard it mentioned numerous times on, for example, the show "Ace of Cakes" on the Food Network, and I don't think this is advertising. Try to expand the page and cite sources, and it would probably be a reasonable article. Falard 20:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:United States presidential elections

message: :This discussion also includes: Template:U.S. House elections, Template:U.S. Senate elections, and Template:U.S. gubernatorial elections.
I reverted to the standard format used for all 200+ templates. As they all appear on the List of election results by country article, it looks very bad to have differing formats. Number 57 10:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it is easier to keep to a standard format and if one template is excepted from the norm then others will be and chaos ensues. Additionally, I find navbox generic quite ugly; the templates are so small they hardly need a hide option. Number 57 12:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to agree with Markles in that I don't like to see changes to a template being reverted because they made one page look bad, when hundreds of others look better with the standardized templates.  As far as them needing the Show/Hide option, most of the standard navigation templates use this option now.  In addition, these templates may be small, but there are articles with lots of small nav boxes at the bottom, and their total sizes can add up to be quite large.  Also, if you don't like the way Navbox generic looks then you could suggest changes on the relevant talk page.  -CapitalR 15:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with CapitalR and Markles. I'd like to see all footer templates, infobox templates etc. use a common styles – and that is most easily done by using either css (that is, class="navbox" etc.) or by using templates like ,  and the like. Using class="toccolours" with arbritary widths, colors and text sizes is, in my opinion, a step in the wrong direction. –Fred Bradstadt 16:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? If all templates were identical it would make them far less aesthetic (as opposed to keeping templates in a series identical).

thread_title: US election templates

message: I suggest separating the list by centuries.  It's just to make it look clearer so readers can find the date quicker.  In short, it's for clarity, but nothing else.  I don't think other election templates do this.  Is consistency with them necessary? (And if so, should we consider changing them all?)
As follows:
What do you think?  —Markles  12:38, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's a bad idea. If you have a smaller screen resolution, the entire rows don't fit on a single line, creating large gaps in the template. There is nothing wrong with the existing system, which as noted, is used on all other templates like this. It could also look a bit odd on other templates if they only have a single election in one century (the eighteenth century row here in extremis). To summarise, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. пﮟოьεԻ 57 14:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Conversion to standard NavBox 

message: (Feel free to link/post this anywhere where more people may hear/voice about this)
Anyone else besides me think that the tables in all the gubernatorial election pages (except '06) should be changed to a more standard format, similar to the kind found in the U.S. Senate and House election pages?  On the gubernatorial pages, the incumbent party's color is shown on the first three columns and the winning party's color is on the last column.  On the Senate and House pages, a non-white color appears across the entire row if the party is changed.  Also, if one retires, a grey background appears in just the cell with the retiree's name.  (For a good example of this, the2000 Senate Elections page might be a good ref. point)

Talk:Istead Rise

message: There is nothing in this article making the point that Istead Rise is an entirely modern construct. The entire village is made up of >1960 houses. That certainly needs to be said, although I am unaware of the exact dates. In addition the information about Ebbsfleet doesn't really need to contain infomation already held on its page, surely? Peter Shearan 06:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Granted that there may well be older houses among what is virtually a modern housing estate - the same thing applies to, for example, Northfleet: on Coldharbour Road close to its Perry Street end, is a one-time farmhouse, still occupied. The fact is that Istead Rise does not constitute a village in the true sense of the word: it was built as a residential estate. The reference I have quoted, which appears to have come originally from valid sources, makes that quite clear. And I do not think that Wikipedia is intended as a house-hunting exercise! If it were then every single place within twenty miles would claim the same thing! Peter Shearan (talk) 15:36, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Shikshashtakam

message: I have restored the English translations by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. I feel it is important that his translations are included, as he was one of the first to spread the teachings of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in a major way to the western world, and in English, and because he is in the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya-Sampradaya parampara, and because parampara, or disciplic succession, is a very important part of how teachings are passed down in the Vedic tradition, and because he was a renowned Sanskrit scholar who translated many major works into English and Bengali (Bhagavad-Gita, Bhagavat Purana/Srimad Bhagavatam, Chaitanya Charitamrita, Brahma Samhita, Sri Ishopanishad, Bhakti-Rasamrita-Sindhu, Upadeshamrita, and others).   Please do not remove them.  It is true that his translations sometimes include implied purports of the text that may not be in a literal word-for-word translation, so I have left the more literal translations that OmBaba has added, because they may also have some value.  I have clearly delineated both so one can see which is which, as well as clarified some of the English in the literal versions.  I have also added citation links to the original text, to Bhaktivedanta's translations, and to a Sanskrit dictionary for one of the translations. AaronW from ABQ (talk) 17:12, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Simran

message: I haven't seen anywhere 
Maybe I'm under the wrong impression since I have seen many different ways to spell the words out in Simran 
===A.===
Those words are merely interpretations of concepts that branch out from simran in Sikhism. For example: 'onkar' (written as 'ek onkar' or ੴ ) refers to 'One God' or the 'ultimate truth'. 'Satnam' literally means 'true name,' referring to realizing the one true being (name), that truth through meditation. However, this term is also used an a name where it holds a similar significance. 12321v (talk) 08:04, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

A real spiritual Guru or SatGuru can put his own pPower c q wisdom c q awakening in the Simran words.
The words themselves without being received from such a source have zero power.
A High Sat Guru Saint could easily tell a disciple to repeat:
Nissa, Coca Cola, Wallstreet, Pendjap, Ram
and IT WILL WORK.

message: I have removed the following text, which is unsubstantiated:
It is derived the Middle English name for Joseph. As a descendant from Joseph, it keeps its original Hebrew language meaning of "He [God] will increase".
According to the two major US genealogical databases, Family Search and Ancestry.com, Jolene occasionally appears as a baptismal name in England in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. These are almost certainly transcription errors by American researchers who have misread the microfilm copies of the original parish registers, substituting a name they know for a name that is difficult to read. An example is for Weston Favell in Northamptonshire where on 30 June 1599 a boy was christened as Joseph Travell.  The transcriber has read this as Jolene Crawell.
