Talk:Thomas Reid

message: Reid was a theist. He therefore had to make his philosophy conform to Judeo-Christian beliefs. Also, he misunderstood Berkeley. Reid could not mentally grasp that the way an object appears depends on the observer's brain.
----------------------------------------------
Schopenhauer praised Reid because Reid realized that raw sensations do not, by themselves, represent objects. Sensations are mere feelings. Another mental process, which Schopenhauer called "understanding," represents objects to the mind by applying the forms of space, time, and causality to data provided by sensations. 
----------------------------------------------
I try to expand on Reid's notion of common sense and Ryan Delaney deletes my posting. Is it informative to merely say that Reid was a common sense philosopher? Isn't it more educational to explain how he thought that human knowledge can be anlyzed through common sense? Are we writing for third graders?

replies: text: Please familiarize yourself with the policy article Wikipedia:No original research. To say that Reid misunderstood Berkeley is original research, and not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia article. It would be better to cite a source that said he misunderstood Berkeley. ⟳ausa کui × 13:32, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

message: This article clearly needs to have a lot of work done to it.  I have begun to work on expanding on the biographical information of Reid (life, education, career, etc...).  While it is still pretty rough, if anyone wishes to see what I have so far and comment on things to be added or changed you can go check out on my user page in my sandbox.

thread_title: Expansion of Article

message: There seems to be a secular  presentism on Wikipedia and I don't like it. Mind you, not out of any religious sentiment (which I am without), but the Wikipedia reader/user/patron will be left with a distorted view of history.

Talk:Dandie Dinmont Terrier

message: This breed is classed in Britain as a VNB - a breed which originated in the UK but now has registration numbers with the Kennel Club of less then 300 puppies per year.  
I'm a Canadian teenager on a gap year before Uni and I'm really interested in this.  Would anyone like a VNB paragraph/link on this page?  I can write it, but am ignorant about formatting etc.  Plus, I'm trying to put together a whole collection on all 29 breeds on this list, including history and so on, using Wikipedia as one of my many sources.

Talk:Maxx Payne

message: There is no such thing as cannabis addiction. Maxx may have been very fond of it, but that's another thing.
:This was the paragraph that I used as source material:
:"But from the time I got to the WWF, I was plagued with one thing after another. The first thing that happened was that I went to Mississippi, where we were wrestling in a casino. I hit the ropes and the top rope broke, I flipped upside down and outside the ring and tore a hernia. I already had kind of a mild hernia ... and had to have a double hernia surgery shortly after that. I came back at Wrestlemania, I started trying to get back into shape and get back in the ring-mode and all along guys, I was telling Vince, to use me as an announcer ... and he said, ‘No, you’ve got to be a wrestler.’ [At the time] I was addicted to pain pills and all the downers and everything else that goes with it ... Brian got busted for pot three times, I got busted for pot once..." (from the interview listed in references).
:Presumably his addiction was therefore limited to "pain pills and all the downers". McPhail 14:47, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No such thing as a cannabis addiction? Since when? People can be addicted to all sorts of things. As Addiction tells us, "Addictions can theoretically form for any rewarding behavior". (What Payne was or wasn't addicted to is another thing, of course, but one can certainly have a cannabis addiction even if the substance itself isn't that habit-forming. It's not even particularly difficult, all things considered.) -- Captain Disdain 08:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Needle

message: I think I agree with User:Commander Keane that these entries don't really belong here.  It seems unlikely to me that somebody looking for an article about Acupuncture would type needle into a search box.  Would somebody type hammer if they were looking for Carpentry?  If we had an Acupuncture needle article, then I think it would make sense, but we don't currently have such an article.
In any case, I object to the use of the piped links.   Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) says not to use them in a dab page.  If the consensus evolves that those links should stay, at the very least they should be reworded to use the non-piped forms.

Talk:Argo 16

message: *It is believed the sabotage was carried out by Mossad, in retaliation for the pro-Libyan Italian government's decision to expel, rather than try, five arabs who had tried to blow up an Israeli airliner. The Arabs had been spirited out of the country on board the Argo 16.
Believed by who? This is unsourced nonsense.--Cuchullain 19:10, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
* This is unsourced, but it is not nonsense. The former president Cossiga stated that the plane was downed as "a revenge from the israeli secret service" in a TV interview (released to the most famous recent history themed program on the national TV, La Sotoria siamo noi). The former general of counterespionage Maletti stated to the newspaper Repubblica that Israeli government happened to discover (due to a technical stop in Malta) a secret mission to repatriate some Libyan terrorists, and that the bombing was an announced retaliation brought forth after his refusal to hand the terrorists over to Tel Aviv. --Jollyroger (talk) 14:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Laurens Janszoon Coster

message: "In fact, it is far from certain if Mr. Coster really existed."
Although it's basically always mentioned Coster may or may not have been the first to invent movable type, I never heard or read anybody doubt whether or not he ever actually existed before. A quick search online didn't help either. It's probably a good idea to point to a source about that part. Retodon8 19:15, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: It's incredibly hard to eradicate such falsifications of history. Coster is a myth, created in the 16th century in  Hadrianus Junius' Batavia. No serious historian still believes this myth. Two men in Haarlem during the 15th century wore the name Laurens Janszoon. The first one (1370-1439) was a merchant, he never used the last name Coster. The second one (1410-1484) did use this last name and was the owner of a house at Grote Markt 33 in Haarlem (demolished in 1929), close to the building that's currently known as the Costerhuis (Grote Markt 25). He was way too young to be responsible for the mythical invention in 1423. Scientifical sources can be found in the Dutch Wikipedia lemma and the corresponding talk page. I'm Dutch, I doubt if my reaction is worded well enough to paste into the lemma, I hope that a native English speaker will correct it. AFAIK there are no scientific sources about LJC in English.

"Exculpation" may be also translated into Russian legalese as "snyatiye obvineniya", literally "removal of accusation". Similarly with "exoneration".
