Talk:Ruth Bader Ginsburg

message: Alot of the things under the tab 'Popular Culture' could also be listed under a tab titled 'Controversies' or something along those lines. Technically there was alot of humans who spoke out against a Judge doing what she was. There was also humans in favor of it. Either stance a human has on it is there own, but it's starting to get disgusting the amount of articles on here that give a opinion, then only include one perspective. 2601:45:500:B850:3829:6EC7:3B28:5D4A (talk) 09:02, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controvery 

message: In characterizing the politics of Musk and Murdoch Jessintime changed the text from "conservative" to "right-wing leaning". That description is somewhat loaded and doesn't necessarily apply here. Both people are anti-trump, and Musk is socially liberal. I reviewed online sources and "Right of center" seems fair to me, so I made that edit with rationale in comments. Jessintime reverted the text saying "they're right wing". To avoid churn, I just reverted all edits and am opening this talk page topic.
While I'm liberal and I'd guess at least 90% of wikipedia editors are, we shouldn't be using our opinions to characterize everyone to the right of us as "right-wing". Characterizing people requires thinking in terms of population averages. Now adays right wing is means being a trumpist or in favor of dictators like Putin, which these two are not to my knowledge.
We could just leave characterization of those two people out of it entirely if that's easiest. I agree Musk is not traditionally conservative. Thoughts on that approach? Other ideas for consensus? Efbrazil (talk) 17:44, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Introduction 

message: The article opens with: "The fusibility of a material is the ease at which the material can be fused together or to the temperature or amount of heat required to melt a material.[1] ".
I find that sentence not understandable. "Or" puts "..is the ease..." in parallel with "..to the temperature...". To be in parallel, both need to use the same gramatical parts, either 'is' or 'refers ... to'. I suppose I should edit it. jimswen (talk) 22:07, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar & interpretability 

message: This article doesn't give much logical meaning to the term it is titled with, 'fusibility'. Is it a common enough word to have an article? Should there be better examples of poor fusibilty?  That "Heat Test" section says nothing about the test criterion. Should 'weldability' be compared somewhere?  For solutions to any of those, will supporting references be findable? (If I edit in my common sense, it will be unsupported.) Apparently this article has been pondered by editors only rarely, and never fixed. 
The "Ash Fusibility" paragraph sounds meaningful, though. jimswen (talk) 22:31, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

message: As stated in the [biz fluent CPG industry article], "CPG products are items that need to be replaced fairly often" - i.e. not durable goods but not necessarily used daily or fast-moving.  So while many FMCG products are CPG products and many CPG products are FMCG products, the overlap is not complete.  A 2019 October 10 Specialty Food Association article by Cheryl V. Jackson is titled [Natural, Specialty Account for Majority of CPG Growth].

message: All top-level party cats have now been moved to a subcat of :Category:Political parties in the United States by ideology that describes them, except the Democratic Party, which I'm not quite sure how to describe.

Talk:Miniature (illuminated manuscript)

message: It's certainly not sufficent, to write "but with the rapid displacement of the manuscript by the printed book the miniaturist's occupation was brought to a close." Read Lilian Armstrong, Giordana Mariani Canova or J. J. G. Alexander (exhib. cat. The Painted Page e.g.) about this item.

Talk:Chibchan languages

message: Removed ref to Paya possibly being related to Chibchan, as it's already included under the name Pech. Mentioning that Cofan has been included due to borrowed vocabulary. kwami 02:43, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: While it is true that the name for the Chibchan family is derived from the term "Chibcha" as used for the name of the Muisca language, I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning the native name for that language specifically in this general article on the Chibchan family; it seems like it might only confuse people (as the statement could be read to prompt the question: "How is the name "Chibchan" derived from "Muisc cubun"?).  
Also, I believe that indigenous name for the Muisca language itself is recorded as "muisc cubun", as the final -a of "muisca" was regularly dropped in constructions of this kind in that language.  However this is an issue better taken up in the article for the Muisca/Chibcha language specifically!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carlsefni (talk • contribs) 21:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Muisc(a) cubun? 

message: What is the latest thinking on the languages here assigned to a Kuna-Colombian branch? I have it in mind that I've seen the languages of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta put in a "Magdalenic" group with Uwa and Muisca as other branches within that group ... but is Chimila really so closely related to the languages of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta as this representation of a Kuna-Colombian would seem to imply?  Or is it there simply because of the geographic proximity of the groups?  Similarly, is Bari really so closely related to Muisca-Tunebo?  (It is my sense that current scholarship is moving away from use of the term "Chibcha" for the Muisca language, mostly due to the confusing similarity with the name of the Chibchan family as a whole.) I'm sure I have some articles from Constenla Umaña and others that discuss these issues of affiliation; I'll have to try to dig them up .... Carlsefni (talk) 21:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

It's okay, though a little too much unneccesary non-vampire related background info. Also, the title was off: this article is a history of Vampire lore, not a history of Vampirism: Vampirism is a term that includes the activities of faux mortal wanna-be vampires who drink blood, wear dark clothes, and have convinced themselves that they are vampires.

text: There are not any reviews of clinical trials regarding soy milk in the medical literature apart from this one . It was published in the Journal of Functional Foods. I raised a question about this journal at the Medicine Noticeboard a while back and I was told it is a reliable journal. However, when I look at the authors it is always the same arabic authors and hundreds of these reviews seem to be published every year in this journal for every sort of food out there which is interesting but basically they all pretty much conclude most legumes, nuts and vegetables are good for cardiovascular health but longer clinical trials are needed. It is the same thing every-time. I have given up reading the journal. Not learning anything new. Psychologist Guy (talk) 21:26, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.
