Talk:The Golden Man

message: I have a couple of questions about specific lines in this article:
"The titular "Golden Man" is a feral young man named Cris with gold-colored skin, who does not appear to be sentient, but possesses the ability to see into the future (specifically, the ability to see all possible outcomes from any single action, described in the story as similar to a chess player with the ability to see all possible moves 5 steps ahead)."
I could see this with one exception: If he "does not appear to be sentient", then where'd he get his name? How did he communicate his name to the researchers? Symbolic thought, including naming, implies sentience; as does the ability to communicate those symbols. Does this line mean that he does not appear to possess any great intelligence? Or does he actually appear to lack higher-order thought processes (and, presumably, was given his name by one of the protagonists)?
:Cris does not appear to exhibit sentient intelligence, acting more like an animal. He was named by his family. He never speaks in the story. The reader doesn't get any insight into his thought processes, if any.201.235.188.220 00:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, we are told so in the story. His golden skin makes him irresistible to women. We don't know the exact mechanism at work, because the story doesn't tell us. 201.235.188.220 00:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Aranca (disambiguation)

message: It is stated in the text that "Zlatica receives from the right its main tributary, another Romanian-Serbian river, the Begej", but in the Begej article, it is stated that Begej "flows into the Tisa river". Which one is right?
Hello. Both are right :o) There are two Begej rivers, one much longer which flows into the Tisa and another, short one, which flows into the Zlatica. As Zlatica has no other major tributaries, the short Begej is its major natural tributary. Both Begejs originate in Romania and flow into Serbia. Short Begej is usually nameless on most of the maps, but the large wall-size geographical map of FR Yugoslavia (by Geokarta) from 1993 names it as such (it is possible it has some other name too).

message: Why is this magazine called "The Gramophone" in en.wikipedia? It's name is pretty clearly "Gramophone": http://www.gramophone.co.uk/about.asp?sect=2 A look at the picture in the article (or their website address or whatever) would also do. - 62.134.213.186 14:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Gramophone

message: One reason Gramophone has been criticized is a perceived pro-British bias by its reviewers.  Sound from American labels has been frequently panned as "trans-Atlantic".  This bias was highlighted when critic Bryce Morrison Jeremy Nicholas wrote a number of laudatory reviews of British pianist Joyce Hatto.  The recordings turned out to be fakes, and Morrison had given negative reviews of the recordings when they had originally appeared (credited to the actual pianists).THD3 (talk) 18:40, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Great History

message: There is a link to this page from the bio for al-Bukhari which is appropriate as he is well known to have a book by this title - it is published as such. However, I am unaware of Yahya ibn Ma'in having a book by the same title. There are some books compiled by his students of questions they asked him regarding certain hadith narrators along with his responses to those questions - some of which are published.It seems to reason that if a person were to begin a page on a topic they should have more to write about that topic than what is written about this particular topic.

Talk:Cassiterite

message: "Cassiterite has recently become an illegally mined and traded mineral in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This is due to great increase in tin demand because new lead-free solder materials have a larger proportion of tin. It is generally traded by some organizations as coltan.Coltan and cassiterite are two totally different minerals. Cassiterite is currently (August 2007) being legally mined by artisanal miners in Katanga Province."
*ReliefWeb accessed 7-20-05
I moved this paragraph here because there are several major issues with it but it could be made into an viable addition to the article still.
*the reference given only mentions COLTAN in comparison to the mining of cassiterite in the DRC not as a synonym to Cassiterite.
*It does not address the legally mined ore versus illegally mined ore
*It was published in 2005 so an update on the situation is needed
