Talk:Aphrodisias

message: All in favour of this, since the names refer to the same city, and in fact co-existed for a while. The extra information in the Stauropolis entry will enrich the Aphrodisias article. (Stauropolis alone, without the historical data added by Aphrodisias, is very weak.)
What's the proceedure for making this decision? I'm happy to make the changes.

Not my quarrel and I didn't provide those links but there's no reason to think otherwise but that someone originally thought them useful in good faith.

message: Back in 2009, User:Thricecube (who seems to have some bad misunderstandings about what was and wasn't public domain) did a lot of wholesale copying from various copyrighted sources into Wikipedia. This article was affected, with these two edits which seem to have been copied from here.

Talk:Orca

message: The sentence "Wild orcas are not considered a threat to humans, and no fatal attack on humans has ever been documented." doesn't read well for me.  In particular I missed the "Wild" at the beginning which is key for correct understanding of the second half.  Also the passive construction "are not considered" could be considered 'weasel words'.  I think something like "Orcas are not usually a threat to humans, and no fatal attack has ever been documented in their natural habitat." would be an improvement.  Thoughts?

Talk:The Queen's College, Oxford

message: It is somewhat misleading that the lower library is said to have the 'bulk of the lending collection'. In fact all books in the lower library and basement can be borrowed (with loans a term in length), and all books in the upper library are accessible to students, though readers must request a reading session which would take place in the library.
It may also be worth mentioning the complete refurbishment of the lower and upper libraries and the building of the 'New Library' which began in January 2015, set to be completed at the start of 2017. As well as that there are plans and permission for a new lodge and a refurbishment of the Florey Building.
There's also no mention of the Queen's Lane Quad/Carrodus Quad building adjacent to college which houses about 80 undergrads.

Talk:Quasi-empirical method

message: Added a bullet to note that the requirement to find all counterexamples to kill a theory is unnecessary. One counterexample suffices. Thus the argument in scientific method that science is really quasi-empirical is suspect.169.207.90.10 07:46, 15 Oct 2003 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not necessary to produce all counterexamples 

message: Is this a school of thought or what? There are no citations.
(1) Reading this together with "quasi-empiricism in mathematics", it appears that the (by themselves very interesting) questions of sociology of mathematics and mathematical practice are supposed to "achieve epistemology similar to that of empiricism" for mathematics. 
I don't think that's what they are supposed to do or can do!
(2) Reading the article directly, we learn that thought experiments are supposed to "achieve epistemology similar to that of empiricism" for their subjects.
This seems very doubtful. 
Both of these inferences seem very doubtful, or at least pretty watery, as philosophical claims.
So, if someone reputable wrote the claims in a book, or if there is a school of thought that makes such claims, that's encyclopedic.
But with no citations, I guess the only way I can find out what is meant here in this article is to come to your livingroom and have a long, rambling conversation.

Talk:Cyril of Alexandria

message: The current article doesn't mention the works of Marie-Odile Boulnois and father Brian E. Daley who uncovered new aspects on Cyril's dynamic pneumatology. According to his paper, the " The Alexandrian bishop frequently utilizes theological terms, such as grace {charts), communion (koinonia), and participation (metexcho) in order to articulate the exchange between the Holy Spirit and the faithful saints. The grace (charis) of God is actualized in the work of the Holy Spirit, who invites the faithful to participate (metexcho) in communion (koinonia) with the divine life. Ultimately, Cyril contends that fellowship with the divine nature (theois physis) depends on the Holy Spirit, who is necessarily consubstantial (homoousios) with the Father and Son."
I think it may be hopefully integrated in the article which has non concerns about the being for partecipation as St thomas Aquinas called the human life while living the life of God through his soul and body.Micheledisaveriosp (talk) 10:15, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Antietam

message: The introduction includes some unwarranted "both-sides-ism."  For instance, the phrase "or Battle of Sharpsburg particularly in the southern United States" (note the comma is missing after this phrase) suggests that "Battle of Sharpsburg" is an acceptable alternate naming of the battle. This is not the case generally, and introduces confusion. So too does the observation, at the end of the paragraph, that the battle was a major turning point for the Union even though "the Union army suffered heavier casualties than the Confederates."
The purpose of these kinds of qualifications appears to be to introduce some confusion into the entry, but to do so in a way that is not overt and will thus not attract correction and revision. It should be corrected.
First, the apposite clause regarding the naming is trivia, at best, and should be included only far lower down in the overall entry.
Second, the note discussing the number of casualties should be reserved for discussion of the nature, consequences, etc., of the battle. Antietam was a tactical victory for the Union, and one that turned the tide of the Civil War. It would be good to state this clearly, instead of allowing Wikipedia to be used to muddy history in a way that serves present-day revisionist historiography. JonnyEP1 (talk) 07:51, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree on both points. Battle of Sharpsburg is a common alternative name (see American Battlefield Trust, for example) and should be mentioned in the intro like it is in similar articles such as First Battle of Bull Run. And I see no issue mentioning the higher casualties on the Union side. It is pretty widely considered tactically inconclusive but a strategic Union victory, and the intro makes that clear. –CWenger (^ • @) 15:35, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
