Talk:Mixtec writing

message: The sources that this article uses are unreliable:
* - While this is written by a scholar, it is a self-published website. See here for an explanation of reliable sources.
* - This is also a self-published website. It does not even have the distinction of having been written by a scholar. Note what it says on the "About" page: "Here's the disclaimer: I am not a linguist. It's my hobby (even though it consumes a lot of my time). I've been a computer scientist since the age of 8, and that's what I do to make a living."
* - I can't even find out anything about the author of this single paragraph. The .com doesn't inspire me with confidence, though. This appears to come from some sort of generalized encyclopedia, again not the kind of source we want to use on wikipedia. 
* - This looks better, as many of the institute's authors are academics, but it is hard to tell who wrote that particular page.
*The link in footnote 5 does not work.
This page lacks many sections, such as a detailed description of how the writing system works, its connection to the spoken language, its connections to other writing systems, the historical development of the writing system, etc. See Mayan languages and Mayan hieroglyphs for good examples of similar kinds of pages.
The editors of this article need to do a lot more research - most of it will need to take place off of the internet, I'm afraid. Good linguistics studies, written by scholars and published by academic presses, are not available online. A quick search of google scholar reveals that there is plenty of material available - the trouble will be sorting through it all.  If you have any questions regarding this review, please let me know.

thread_title: GA fail

message: The writing system is described as logographic, yet there is also talk of 'phonetic symbols', which are claimed to be important 'because the language is tonal'. This is a non sequitur, since segments are just as important as tones for distinguishing meanings - if the system is phonologically based, that is; if it is logographic, the phonological content of the words corresponding to the signs is completely irrelevant. In any case, the article should make up its mind: if there are phonetic symbols, for tone or for something else, then clearly the system isn't purely logographic. I suspect that there is some confusion here, because my understanding (perhaps outdated) was that the only deciphered Mesoamerican logographic (and not pictographic) system was the Mayan one. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 19:38, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Genetic (linguistics)

Talk:Wire gauge

message: I believe this page needs to link to a page with a list of what current is safe for a gauge, near the sentence "This determines the amount of electrical current a wire can safely carry". (69.5.154.26 05:09, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: How is the guage of multi-strand wire determined? Does it just just depend on the outside diameter of the wire, or is there some compensation for the fact that there are air gaps between the strands? --Ong saluri (talk) 06:49, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The gauge number is the number of the solid wire with the equivalent total cross-section; for instance, a solid 4/0 AWG wire has a diameter of 0.46 inches but a 19-strand 4/0 wire has an overall diameter of 0.528 inches, according to ASTM standard B8. --Wtshymanski (talk) 13:41, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Stranded wire

message: Can anyone add to the article how (mathematical conversion from standard units) the wire gauge was/is derived?   Like how does a smaller gauge correspond to a fatter wire?   This question may be pertinent to gauges in general, which are units of measurement that are not specific to electrical wiring, such as bore diameter of shotguns, etc.--2600:6C48:7006:200:D84D:5A80:173:901D (talk) 01:50, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

message: Given that manufacturers like to shave every penny on the cost of things (including electrical wire) is there an accepted standard for measuring wire gauge?    Consider that stranded wire (whatever its design) is different than solid wire also, and that metallurgy is not consistent.

message: The page Misspeaking includes a definition and simple history of the word misspeak, as well as several speech errors made by politicians.

message: There is no article on misanalysis, and this article doesn't even mention it. I wrote the following in names for the number 0 in English: 
The use of "aught" and "ought" to mean "zero" is looked down on by some especially older, upper-class people because "aught" originally meant something else and because the new meaning arose due to a reinterpretation of "a naught" as "an aught". This common process (called "misanalysis" by linguists) is not considered a confusion or not even noticed by these same people in other English words when it happened long enough ago, for example "an auger" was originally "a nauger". --Espoo (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Eights (Enneagram of Personality)

message: This Enneagram type article - like all the others - is simply an unoriginal summary of descriptions and theories of one particular Enneagram school.  These are presented as if they are accepted 'facts' of Enneagram teaching even though many aspects of these descriptions, type examples, etc. etc. would be questioned or rejected by many other Enneagram authorities.
These particular type articles need to be either deleted or totally rewritten in an appropriate NPOV etc format.

Talk:Labor Code of the Philippines

message: The following content was copied from this article to Human rights in the Philippines:
The Labor Code is the legal code governing employment practices and labor relations in the Philippines. The Labor Code stipulates standards in terms of wages and monetary benefits, hours of work, leave, rest days, holiday pays, and benefits, among others. The Labor Code sets the rules for hiring and firing of private employees; the conditions of work including maximum work hours and overtime; employee benefits such as holiday pay, thirteenth-month pay and retirement pay; and the guidelines in the organization and membership in labor unions as well as in collective bargaining. The prevailing labor code allows the typical working hour to be 8 hours a day, i.e. 48 hours a week with the provision that at least a day should be allowed to the workers as weekly off.
I’ve also added a note on that article’s talk page. - Crisantom (talk) 00:50, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Binate function

message: I think we have the wrong definition of binate. Doing a quick search on google I find the following
A function is binate if it is not unate. A function f(x1; x2;...;xn)
is unate if for every xi; i = 1;...; n; f is either positive or
negative unate in the variable xi. f is said to be positive unate
in a variable xi, if for all 2n-1 possible combinations of the
remaining n-1 variables, f(x1; x2;...; xi􀀀1;1;xi+1;...;xn) >=
f(x1; x2;...;xi􀀀1;0;xi+1;...; xn): In other words, changing variable
xi from 0 to 1, f does not decrease. Similarly, f is said to be negative
unate in a variable xi, if for all 2n􀀀1 possible combinations of the
remaining n 􀀀 1 variables, f(x1; x2;...; xi􀀀1;0; xi+1;...; xn) >=
f(x1;x2;...;xi􀀀1;1; xi+1;...;xn):
this definition is very different simply a function with two arguments for which binary function is the more frequent term. --Salix alba (talk) 06:38, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
