Talk:Greco-Buddhist monasticism

message: The monastic concepts of gandhara are very much similar to any other monastic concepts of buddhism in india, this article doesnt mention any differences between greco buddhist monasticism and the non greek buddhist monasticism, this article seem to perpetuate an imaginary buddhist influence but the greek ideas. This article is propagating something which doesnt exist which is greco-buddhist monasticism, this article should be renamed to buddhist monasticism or deleted because it serves no purpose other than eurocentrism.

thread_title:  Rank structure? 

message: I've edited the article to clarify the status of the PM. I've described them as a state-level Gendarmerie, as they are a Military Force tasked with internal security, and pointed out that they are comparable to the US National Guard in that they are under state rather than federal authority. I think this needed clarification as this system is very different to that found everywhere else in the world. I would personally love to see the articles expanded as I find the Brazilian system of law enforcement fascinating (the theory of it anyway).

message: "Due to its absurd writing, illustrations and comments from the author, this book sells out almost anytime a copy becomes available on Amazon.com." The source doesn't seem very reputable, and the fact that the book sells out when a copy is available is neither explicitly stated in said source nor may it be true now, as the source was published in 2007. The use of the word "absurd" should also be backed up by a reputable source, as it does not constitute neutral point of view.

thread_title: Duplication

message: Capitalisation of some of the titles now lead to two Wiki articles.
I scrubbed Instrumental mass fractionation as I could not find such a title in the literature. I slightly altered the name of a missing title  (Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy) and intend to write a few lines on it in due course to fill the gap, unless there is a speedier volonteer .

thread_title: Minor edit

message: Added:
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Computed tomography, also called Synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy.
Titlechange of article required
From Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy to Scanning X-ray Microscope. This only differs from the existing X-ray microscope through its scanning element. The transmission word has been dropped because only the transmission type seems to exist, and the cited reference from ESRF (European Synchotron Research Facility) uses this shortened term for the scanning transmission X-ray microscope. The title for Microscope instead of Microscopy is to accord with the existing Wikipedia article on the Scanning Electron Microscope.
I wish to indicate the state of the reference by the inclusion of the abbreviation  "(stub)" if appropriate for potential editors, unless anybody objects.LouisBB (talk) 12:12, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Lolrus

message: I'm still not sure why this was deleted. Most of the votes on the Votes for Deletion page were for keep. Way to go wikipedia. 134.173.93.73
Agreed. Not impressed. There had clearly been no conclusion in the matter. In all fairness the five days of discussion were up, and it did have some sourcing problems, but i think people forgot that it was a work in progress. It was nominated for deletion right from when it was effectively a stub, so it wasn't given much of a chance for improvement. Even so, within five days it had a lot more sources and links and it was seriously beginning to shape up, rendering most of the early deletion comments pretty much irrelevant, so i just find it a shame that an article which was clearly a useful encylopedic entry with a lot of interesting information could get deleted just as it was starting to get itself together. I guess it's still gonna be in history, though, so the second anybody prints a good solid article about the lolrus in other media we can revive it.Bjakt 17:02, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:MIT/GNU Scheme

message: These phrases might appear from other inputs in the interpreter; I wrote down the commands I put in and was able to repeatedly get those results.I think we should include a section on these phrases; if anyone knows more about this subject feel free to weigh in.
When the user exits the interpreter it prints a line of text in latin: "Fortitudine vincimus." which translates to "Through endurance we conquer" Which is likely a joke regarding how tedious the scheme language can be. This phrase appears when any commands other than display are used, or when more than 5 commands are used.
When only using the (display ) command it prints phrases such as 
"Happy happy joy joy!" - printed after only one command is run
"Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam."- printed after 2 commands. Latin for "Carthage must be destroyed" link
"Pulvis et umbra sumus." - printed after 3 commands. Latin for "We are dust and shadow".  link
"Post proelium, praemium." -
"..#]^@^@^@ NO CARRIER" after 4 commands. bug?

thread_title: Untitled

message: To my understanding, `pkg-config` is more a standard than a software, and Freedesktop is indeed about standards, although it's doing the same error (to my eyes) as Wikipedia, referring to it as a software instead of as a standard. If `pkg-config` is not at least also a standard and just software, then how its behaviour specified? Another point of view, is that if I'm not wrong, there use to be applications like Code::Blocks, reading and interpreting `*.pc` files without relying on the legacy `pkg-config` application. --Hibou57 (talk) 04:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The new kid on the block is `pkgconf` which can be used as a drop-in replacement for `pkg-config` using a symlink. It also provides a library, `libpkgconf` that provides access to most of `pkgconf`s functionality. Ebichu63 (talk) 10:04, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  A standard or a software? 

message: I am by no means an expert on this topic, but I was doing some related research I found a comment saying something to the effect of "gcc test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0`" doesn't work on some non-linux machines, and you should use the format gcc `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0` test.c `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0` instead".
I'm not sure if this is right in all cases, but it might be something to mention.  Linkhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/1146010/why-cant-i-build-a-hello-world-for-glib for reference.

Talk:Testament of Isaac

message: I've been doing some research into various Biblical canons, and the Wikipedia page for the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) states this this Testatment (along with the Testament of Abraham and the Testament of Jacob) form part of their Tanakh.

Talk:Meqabyan

message: I think it's possible that the Tsirutsaydan mentioned in 1 and 2 Meqabyan is Esarhaddon, who also ruled Tyre and Sidon and who's name sounds similar to Tsirutsaydan. Meqabyan mentions Sennacherib and Hezekiah his predecessor and contemporary. The second half of 1 Meqabyan mentions Akrandis which is most likely Antiochus to juxtaposition against the earlier tyrant Esarhaddon in the first part. It makes sense for Esarhaddon to figure in an Ethiopian text because he went to war against Taharqa of Kush.Barney Hill (talk) 18:55, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Esarhaddon 

message: I've added chapter summaries for the books (as per the Book of Enoch page) based on the Feqade Selassie translation, which I think is justified here given the general obscurity of these texts and their contents, and the fact there are no freely available translations online (ignoring the Iyaric version, which is very difficult to read). The Feqade Selassie and Iyaric translations seem to be the work of the same person, but I cannot find any more information online about him; Selassie appears to be a non-native English speaker, as the translation is bit odd and strained in parts, however its the only one available for all three Meqabyans.
I only came across the books of Meqabyan whilst researching the Biblical canons of various denominations. I'm really surprised that they haven't received more attention - I did a fairly thorough search online and couldn't locate any scholarship on them. Compare that to the Book of Enoch, or even the various 'Lost Gospels' which no Christian sect even consider canonical!
Any comments/suggestions on my edits welcome.

thread_title:  Expansion of page 

message: There are two English translators of Meqabyan: Dermot Patrick Curtin & Feqade Selassie. Both of these are very suspect. I don't believe Curtin has any knowledge of Amharic whatsoever. Feqade professes fluency in Amharic and disdains machine translation. However, it is not his native language. Since he has also published lexicons of Native American languages, despite an apparent lack of focus on that area of study, I'm nervous that he is overly confident.

Talk:Letter of Aristeas

message: – The word "forgery" (Literary forgery) is misleading. It looks like Letter of Aristeas is a Middle-Age fake.
Also late forgery of a Hellenized Jew could be appropriate for a I century CE text, while Letter of Aristeas is older.
Its author, even if was not a courtier of Ptolemy II (281-246 BCE), for sure wrote before the invasion of Palestine by Pompey (63 BCE), probably in the II century BCE (one century after Ptolemy II) A ntv (talk) 19:42, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: It can't be Ptolemy II, as according Diogenes Laertius, Demetrius backed the wrong king, advising Ptolemy I to go with Ptolemy Ceraunos, son of Eurydice, as successor. On the death of the old king the new king, son of Berenice, had Demetrius arrested. He was under house arrest in the country until a snake bit him in his sleep and he died. Look out for those African snakes, they might not all be reptilian. Consequently, Demetrius and Ptolemy cannot have intended the educational facilities only for Ptolemy II.
