Talk:Innisfallen (ship)

message: initial page --ClemMcGann 15:22, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: I find the article confusing:
*It is about five ships
*Each ship has a description section
So far so good; but
*There is a sixth ship mentioned in the description of the first ship
**This sixth (phantom?) ship has more details than the first (construction shipworks) and is the oldest
I do not find it clear how/why these ships are similar/different/grouped this way.  Perhaps someone can review: I don't have enough background in this. (Jeoknowhat (talk) 17:54, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:The Hoppings

message: Growing up in Newcastle, I was always under the impression that it was more than a coincidence that the Hoppings took place in the same week as the races: I believe it was deliberately started as an alternative to the races. The races were infamously boozy, and I think that the Hoppings was originally a temperance fair with no alcohol at it. (How things have changed...) I have not added this to the article because "that's what I thought when I was little" is not a terribly citable source. But it would be nice if someone could track this down.
Oh yes, and would not "largest travelling (two ls, it's British :)) fair" be more accurate? Again, that's how I heard it described as a child (by contrast with such attractions as Blackpool Fair).

I would like to once again state my opposition to the use of Shaumian as a completely nonsensical way to write the man's name. He was Armenian, and his name had an H in it. Just because the Russian language does not have an H, does not mean we should permanently desecrate his name, simply because the study of this man has been done by Ruso-centric scholars so far. It's a bad idea, and I'm not sure anyone even showed up to discuss the matter. RaffiKojian (talk) 06:36, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

text: Does spelling Hovhannes Baghramyan's name as Ivan Bagramyan desecrate his name? So what he was Armenian? So is Yuri Oganessian/Hovhannisian. I clearly backed up my proposal with Google Books search results, which clearly show that Shaumian is more common in English language sources. ----Երևանցի talk 07:21, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes of course it desecrates his name. It is only a common spelling as I said due to heavy Russian influence. His name simply was not Shaumian, it was Shahumian. It's as simple as that. You can google this: "changed spelling of mao tse-tung to mao zedong", and see why the spelling of Shahumian's name should certainly be with an H, and why Baghramyan's should also be with an H. Why Peking is now Beijing, Bombay is Mumbai and Calcutta is Kolkata. Shaumian is essentially a colonial version of his name, and is not acceptable. --RaffiKojian (talk) 07:49, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Marcus Tulio Tanaka

message: He was born in Brazil to Brazilian parents. His father has Japanese descent and his mother, Italian one. He went to Japan only when he was 15.
In Brazil, it's spoken Portuguese. In Portuguese, the correct spelling of the name Túlio is with accute acent in the letter "u", differently of Spanish or English. By this reason, the page must be titled as "Marcus Túlio Tanaka".

Cheers!
--Caio Brandão Costa (talk) 05:36, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Dude, the case is a little bit more complicated. "Tulio" in the article header is not a Portuguese name, it is a simplified romanization of player's Japanese nickname 闘莉王, Tūriō, which is a derivative of Túlio. To be absolutely precise, the name in the article header must be read as Marcus "Tulio" Tanaka, and all this nickname case is clearly explained by the words: "born Marcus Túlio Lyuji Murzani Tanaka and commonly known as Tulio." So please stop changing the nickname. —WiJG? 23:02, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lack of references for "pi having finite length" claim 

message: This pi article claims that pi is a irrational number, while this article claims that pi has a finite length of 1.3511 trillion digits. Both of these claims can not be true, since finite length implies pi being a rational number, which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers:
:\pi = \frac{3 \; 141 \; 592 \; ...}{10^{1 \; 351 \; 100 \; 000 \; 000} }

Talk:Sears Holdings

message: So I've sort of become the de-facto caretaker of this page, and there have been multiple comments (such as on the News page) that this article needs major cleaning. If anyone else is watching this talk page, I could really use some tips, as I am still fairly new to Wikipedia.
For the time being, I think a good direction to go would be to restructure the company history to change it from being a mere log of their business history to a more cohesive narrative. I think we can break this into four key sections: the background to the company's formation, their initial business plan and short-term successes, their slow decline, and their recent major decline into bankruptcy. I also propose that we reduce the subsidiaries and brands sections on this page being more simple, and moving the more complex descriptions over to the separate pages for Sears and Kmart.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Specter Koen (talk • contribs) 19:15, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Logocentrism

message: This article is substandard and full of errors. Logocentrism is confused with phonocentrism. That Derrida's texts are an example of logocentrism is misleading since he was a major critic of logocentrism. In fact this is the most misleading article I've ever read on Wikipedia.
:Hi,
I just wanted to point out that if you feel an article is incorrect and can provide sources to show this you are more than welcome to change the article. I'm afraid my knowledge of the topic is insufficient to make informed changes, although if I get time I may undertake some reading, but even a very basic web search appears to show that you are correct in your assertion (here for example). I hope you will help to improve this article.

thread_title:  substandard 

message: I find the article extremely useful and important and I very much appreciate the effort in improving it. I am by no means an expert in this issue. From this naive reading, these two paragraphs seem incoherent:
: "Logocentrism is often confused with phonocentrism, which more specifically refers to the privileging of speech over writing".
: "Logocentrism is claimed to be manifested in the works of Plato, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Ferdinand de Saussure, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and many other philosophers of the Western tradition, all of whom regard speech as superior to writing (believing writing only represents or archives speech)
Following the definition from the first paragraph, the second paragraph seems to be referring to "phonocentrism" instead of "logocentrism". Thanks! Mimosinnet (talk) 20:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What a mess! It notes that logocentrism is easily confused with phonocentrism, and then proceeds to confuse them. There is no straightforward definition of the term or discussion of its usage and application. I'm going to take out the wanderings, because they will frankly mislead anyone consulting the article, but not much will be left. DavidOaks (talk) 17:30, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Logocentrism and Phonocentrism 

message: The opening sentence of this article states that: 
 
'Logocentrism is a term coined by the German philosopher Ludwig Klages in the 1920s. It refers to the tradition of "Western" science and philosophy that situates the logos, ‘the word’ or the ‘act of speech’, as epistemologically superior in a system, or structure, in which we may only know, or be present in, the world by way of a logocentric metaphysics.' 
 
Whilst there are certain moments of clarity, ultimately this sentence is dreadful as a definition. A definition of Logocentrism cannot include the word 'logocentric' in it, as it is the very concept it is attempting to describe. This definition of Logocentrism is the equivalent of describing a chair by stating that 'a chair is a separate piece of furniture on which people can sit, which has a back and four legs, and is chair-like.'

thread_title: Untitled

message: It is widely believed that the name Russell Lee is a pseudonym no different from the other pseudonyms from the likes of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys' authors.
Despite the decades of masked public appearance and how implausibly difficult it is to go in public and never get his real identity exposed in a small, densely populated country like Singapore with cameras all over... no one seemed to be able to know his "true name" and "face", nor even bother to dig out and investigate the company's founders and employees.
What is most likely is that the writers are all collectively Russell Lee, and someone was hired to put on a mask and sign books in public each time.
