message: An update should be made to Section 4 In Toys and Section 3.1 Animation to include the 1990 cartoon series Barnyard Commandos, based on the action figure line of the same name produced in 1989. The series "is based around the concept of farm animals who consumed radioactive materials left over from an abandoned military experiment, mutating them into hyper-intelligent, anthropomorphic paramilitary troops. This consists of two "hilariously harmless" opposing teams: the R.A.M.S. (Rebel Army of Military Sheep) and the P.O.R.K.S. (Platoon of Rebel Killer Swine)." Barnyard Commandos
Pigs included in the series are General Hamfat Lardo, Private Side O'Bacon, Sergeant Shoat N.

Talk:Surrealist Movement in the United States

message: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Surrealist Movement in the United States
Really, nobody can stake a claim to, "starting" the Surrealist Movement in the United States. There was recently a huge exhibition of Surrealism in the United States from the 40's, 50's and 60's and it exhibited many unknown surrealist artists that had nothing to do with the Chicago Surrealist Group. Franklin Rosemont did not start surrealism in the USA, that is a fact. AS for the, "organization" that calls itself, "The Surrealist Movement in the United States, that is a term that does not belong to the Chicago Surrealist Group, that is a term that belongs to every surrealist artist that has worked from the 1940's to today, and there are many. Not everyone is under the spell of Franklin Rosemont, you wonder why he was ignored by Prof. William Rubin back in 1968? He was wise to him too. I think that this article should be drastically changed and edited by someone else except Daniel C. Boyer who has a personal stake, along with promoting his friends on here.Classicjupiter2 00:51, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Philosophy of chemistry

message: This page was voted on for deletion at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Philosophy of chemistry. The final result was Keep. --Deathphoenix 19:15, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: This article is poorly written. For example, "In the philosophy of chemistry, for example, we might ask, given quantum reality at the microcosmic level, and given the enormous distances between electrons and the atomic nucleus, how is it that we are unable to put our hands through walls, as physics might predict? Chemistry provides the answer, and so we then ask what it is that distinguishes chemistry from physics?" should not be in the introductory section. This paragraph and others have more to do with Biology or Physics and this promotes the idea that Philosophy of Chemistry is inseparable from these other disciplines, or that it is dependent on them in some way.
The phrase "for example" is used four times in this short article.
I'm an undergraduate student, but I'm also a double major in Chemistry and Philosophy. I might revise this if I get the time. 64.114.134.46 18:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you are misunderstanding a whole load of things. First, there is no "author", as in "singular" - one author. Over the years many editors have contributed to the article. Second, this is not an article about chemical bonding. It is about the philosophy of chemistry. The philosophy of chemistry is very diffuse. If you look at the journals such as "Hyle" and "Foundations of Chemistry", you will see a wide diversity of topics. Only some touch on chemical bonding. I do not understand your reference to Richard Bader. I knew him and corresponded with him. He died last year. His work was brilliant, but a lot of people disagree with him. In particular in, first, the argument about the nature of the covalent bond with Rudenberg and other that remains unsettled after decades, and, second, his strong support of the reduction of chemistry to physics, where many real philosophers and some chemists, such as Hoffmann, mentioned in the article, strongly disagree. We have to give all points of views, although not necessarily with the same weight. This article tries to do that and does it quite well, although there is always room for improvement. I also note that it has changed considerably and for the better, since 2008 and earlier when the comments above in this section were written.

message: The article says: somewhat earlier the Chinese traveller and chronicler Chau Ju-kua travelled in the Chola country about 1178. I'm trying to figure out a citation for this; so far I only have him as a chronicler (who indeed writes about this area), not a traveller, and writing at 1225, not 1178 (though it could be he travelled earlier in his life, though he doesn't mention this in his chronicles that I can find). Can anyone figure out where this came from? Martijn Faassen 23:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chau Ju-kua a traveller? 

message: Thirteenth century travelers who are known to have journeyed to the court of the Mongolian Great Khan, either at Karakorum or Xanadu, before Marco Polo are:
* Giovanni da Pian del Carpine and Benedykt Polak- 1245-1247, envoys of Pope Innocent IV
* André de Longjumeau - 1249-1251, envoy of French King Louis IX 
* William of Rubruck and Bartolomeo da Cremona - 1253-1255, envoy of French King Louis IX
* Niccolò and Maffeo Polo father and uncle of Marco - 1265-1266, traveling as traders, reached the new capital of the Grand Khan at Khanbaliq (modern Beijing). Then returned to Europe with message for the Pope.
None of the above reached China proper. Marco Polo was the first to do so.
Other European travelers journeyed to Persia.

Talk:Ogdoad (Gnosticism)

message: The Gnostic Ogdoad is attributed as follows:  The Abyss (Bythos) (masculine) gave rise to Silence (Grace/Thought) (feminine).  They combined to give rise to Mind (masc.) and Truth (fem.).  These are the Roots which bring forth the AEONS.  Mind and Truth combined to create Word (masc.) and Life (fem.).  Word and Life combined to bring forth Man (masc.) and "Church" (fem.).  I prefer "The World" in place of "Church",  or the passive substrate upon and within which Mankind operates.

Brown: Chris had wanted to get a live album pretty much as soon as we finished Burnin’. We recorded two nights. The first night, the stage was invaded, the big doors at the back of the Lyceum got forced, mics got kicked around. We didn’t really get anything useable. We went in early
the next day to make things more robust. Pretty much the whole mix comes from the second night. Wikipedia says it’s from the first night? Wikipedia is notoriously wrong! It was definitely the second night. There was too much chaos on the first night.

Talk:Heavenly Mountain Resort

message: In trying to pin down more details about Sonny Bono, those sources that do cite a location all say "Orion" (e.g. CNN).  A check of the current (2004/5) trailmap shows two blue runs with "orion" in their name, both off the "dipper express" chair.  Only the "Orion Wave" one is high on the mountain, as several sources claim Bono was.  I deliberately didn't put "Orion Wave" in the article, as resorts are prone to keeping the overall name of features but changing details, particularly after they've changed how a run is set out; so it's quite possible the run was called Orion Somethingelse back when Bono died.  If someone has an old Heavenly trailmap, or can remember better, we can change the article to show the real name of the run.
I also didn't put his time of death.  Several reports say he was reported missing to ski patrol at 4.30, but that's the end of the day (and you'd generally not report someone missing for a couple of hours, particularly someone skilled like Bono).  So he quite possibly hit the tree after lunch and laid there all afternoon.  If I remember the scenery there, it's quite possible to mess up, ski off the run into the forest, and no-one would ever chance upon you. --  20:34, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I did make a rendering using NASA World Wind, which is sufficiently detailed that one can see the individual ski runs.  To make it useful I'd have to hand annotate the render and maybe draw on the skilifts, but I've not gotten around to doing so.
