Talk:Dick Morris

message: Look at this sentence currently in the article  "Many[attribution needed] perceived this as a move to the center of the political spectrum, and it disappointed some[attribution needed] who had hoped Clinton would pursue a more liberal policy.[citation needed]"
Note the things wrong with it:
*  Use of vague actors.  Often the "people think" is just a way to get around saying "I think".  Change the wording here:  I saw this as a move to the center and it dissapointed me because I wanted Clinton to be more liberal."  Who wants to lay betting odds that the original author feels this way?
*  Change in subject:  Is the article about Morris or Clinton or what (liberal) people think of Clinton?  
*  Placement of concernt: The author apparently thinks it's noteworthy what liberals think, but not conservatives!
(For last two, given, that the article is about MORRIS, if we have ANY of this tripe, it might be more pertinent to say how disappointed conservatives were that Morris was helping the enemy.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TCO (talk • contribs) 18:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:Chinese martial arts

message: Please use this page to discuss opinions regarding the categorization of Chinese martial arts.
----
:Category:Chinese martial art styles didn't quite work out the way I thought it would so :Category:Chinese martial arts is now used as listing of styles instead, and :Category:Chinese martial art styles has been left to oblivion for the time being. I have instead made an experiment of creating a :Category:Chinese martial arts terms as an evolvement of :Category:Martial arts terms. Will be interesting to see how it works out.

text: There seem to be some people who exhibit authoritarian tendencies when it comes to categorization. At least when I tried to do something with spiders I got a lot of flack from a czar. I like the idea of a list of nested categories at the bottom of an article. For instance, there are several variations of Xingyi, so Xingyi could be a subcategory of Neijia. Neijia could be a subcategory of Empty-handed techniques, Empty-handed techniques could be a subcategory of Chinese Martial Arts, and the top category could be Martial Arts.  With such a strip of nested categories available, the reader could easily jump to the appropriate level.  Some might want to zoom way out and go from Xingyi to Martial Arts, and some might only want to zoom to Neijia quan. P0M 19:36, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Optical microscope

message: As an amateur astronomer I've seen various explanations about optics. The picture currently used here (and probably maintained elsewhere in the wiki ecosystem) shows the light path bending at "image 1" with no explanation. Also the eye is a little too close, and doesn't show the final focus at the retina. Do microscopes use a translucent(?) surface at 'image 1' that's just not shown? Walkingstick3 (talk) 18:30, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Can't remember where I got the basis for the illustration but to explain; The illustration shows half the light path with the objective focusing at "image 1" and the eyepiece focusing at "image 1". Nothing is bending, they both converge there.  Hence why its a compound microscope. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 19:40, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

; Wikisource generic:
: "Wikisource contains the text of ."
: This will no be directly called except in cases where the difference between the Wikipedia name of an article and the Wikisource counterpart is such that using the Wikisource counterpart would render the Wikipedia link illegible. The use of a single template to handle the formatting of both "Wikisource" and "Wikisource par" makes sense.

The current Template:Wikisource bypasses the need for this by using phrasing other than that used above in "Wikisource generic", and can be retained if needed. A nice feature of generic templates, which should be noted, is the ability to allow templates such as this without having to reformat lots of template every time a change of format is decided.

Talk:Sesquiquartum

message: Please read very slowly and carefully:
*About half a year ago, Louis Epstein showed me the proposed terms "quasquicentenarian" and "sesquicentenarian" for someone alive at age 125 and age 150, respectively. I have been wondering how these terms are logical using dictionaries and Internet sites. By studying dictionary.com, I looked up sesqui- and it means "and a half", from semi-, which I already knew meant half, and "qui" meaning "and". Thus, "sesquicentenarian" properly implies 100 + (100/2) = 100 + 50 = 150 years. Similarly, quasqui- can mean "and a quarter", coming from quarter- and the same "qui" element. Several dictionaries have the sesqui- prefix in them, but no dictionary has the quasqui- prefix. However, there is one dictionary mentioning a quasqui word as well as several sesqui words, showing me how logical it is. Thus, by mid-August to early-September, I've come to agree with Louis that these terms are logical.
However, how about this word, sesquiquartum?? "Sesquialterum" is a term for 1 1/2, which makes sense to me using the above logic, but this is not the correct equivalent for 1 1/4. How was this word, as opposed to the equally-logical "quasquialterum", chosen, to be exact?? (Feel free to mention any Internet site that tells the history of this word.) 66.245.107.78 01:51, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Who said languages are logical? :-D The element "sesqui-" etymologically means "and a half", but its use was particularized to mean "one and a half" (for "two and a half" the Romans coined the term "sestertius", from semis tertius, which has a parallel in Danish halvtreds, both meaning "half [way between the second and] the third"). From "one and a half" it then ended up being used with the meaning "one and [some other fraction]", so the "sesqui" in "sesquiquartum" means "one and" instead of "and a half" and the "quartum" part specifies the fraction added to that "one and". Etymologically the neologism "quasqui-" (from quadrans + -que) is more logical to refer to "1 1/4", and "sesquiquartum" would make more sense if it meant "3/8" (one quarter plus half a quarter). 213.37.6.106 05:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been looking for a long time to determine if there is a direct, citeable connection between Bush and the Nye Commission, to justify the paragraph that's been in this article for some time. I have found none. The report itself does not mention Bush; Baruch; the War Industries Board; or even Remington, the company cited as a conflict of interest. The report was about the politics of the run-up to the war, and Bush served on a board created late in the war. I believe the inclusion of the section about the Nye Commission to be original research and unsupported by anything concrete; it's just there to get some political digs in, so I'm removing it. -- Dhartung | Talk 08:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I found it surprising that the novel has been accused of chauvinism, which I assume "male chauvinism" is meant.  While none of the women in the novel are central characters, the principal men are shown to be blind, arrogant, fearful, and foolish.  If Jonathan Strange is the protagonist, he is hardly the hero.
