Talk:Creative destruction

message: From the Origin of Species (1859)...
:The extinction of old forms is the almost inevitable consequence of the production of new forms.
Context...
:Passing from these difficulties, the other great leading facts in palaeontology agree admirably with the theory of descent with modification through variation and natural selection. We can thus understand how it is that new species come in slowly and successively; how species of different classes do not necessarily change together, or at the same rate, or in the same degree; yet in the long run that all undergo modification to some extent. The extinction of old forms is the almost inevitable consequence of the production of new forms. We can understand why, when a species has once disappeared, it never reappears. Groups of species increase in numbers slowly, and endure for unequal periods of time; for the process of modification is necessarily slow, and depends on many complex contingencies. The dominant species belonging to large and dominant groups tend to leave many modified descendants, which form new sub-groups and groups. As these are formed, the species of the less vigorous groups, from their inferiority inherited from a common progenitor, tend to become extinct together, and to leave no modified offspring on the face of the earth. But the utter extinction of a whole group of species has sometimes been a slow process, from the survival of a few descendants, lingering in protected and isolated situations. When a group has once wholly disappeared, it does not reappear; for the link of generation has been broken.
From my perspective, the term evolutionary economics is redundant.  Innovation, variation, natural selection, competition and creative destruction are equally relevant to economics and evolution.  With this in mind, what did Marx contribute to our understanding of evolution?  This article should have a lot less Marx and a lot more Darwin. 71.84.207.69 (talk) 02:20, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Copperlite

message: From WP:RfD:
* Copperlite → Coprolite.  The article at copperlite was created by someone who misspelled coprolite (they may not realize the correct word is coprolite).  Google finds 3 uses of copperlite as fossilized feces (coprolite), 3,117 other uses of copperlite and 21,700 hits for coprolite.  it doesn't look like many people will type copperlite meaning coprolite (I'm just concerned that leaving the redirect lends unwarranted support to this misspelling).  RJFJR 03:12, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
** I'm dithering about this one. I did a search myself using Yahoo, and found only 347 matched for "copperlite", mostly for a chipset, and also a metallic finish. When I knocked most of these out (using the exclude string "chipset finish DSL 'chip set' cooling neoprene") I was left with about 40 hits, of which only 4 were for the "coprolite" meaning. However, I worry that if we delete this redirect, someone will just re-create the article (not unlikely, it's already happened). So I'd say "keep", to prevent recreation of the erroneous article.

Talk:Damiaen Joan van Doorninck

message: 'Damiaem' must have been a typo for several reasons. Damiaen (an unusual Dutch name) seems to be more likely because to may refer to the (Catholic) name of Damia(e)n. All Google hits for Damiaem seems to be copied Wikipedia articles. There are Google hits to non-Wikipedia webpages about a Damiaen van Doorninck who was in Colditz. And finally, the article text itself refers to Damiaen. So I modified the original page 'Damiaem J. van Doorninck' to redirect to this page.

Talk:Wągrowiec

message: Ok Halibutt, I defanged your your section on the WWII era.  I entirely sympathize with most your point of view, especially since I had family living in the area during that awful time.  But it was still too POV. 
It was shaemeful that you basically equated Germans with Nazis.  Germans like Curt Jurgens did time in concentration camps for opposing the Nazis, and many were killed, yet you tar all Germans with the same broad brush.  Maybe there weren't enough people like that, and maybe they weren't powerful enough to stop Hitler, but they did exist. 
And speaking of personal POV, did the Soviets really "liberate" Wagrowiec in 1945?  It seems more like a case of "out of the frying pan, into the fire" to me.  --Jpbrenna 19:17, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Celebration

message: Celebration itself should have its own article.
Obviously, many celebrations will be in the form of social gathering, holidays, and what not, but the aspect of celebration has a very special meaning in human behaviors.
One showing happiness and joy over an observation or event can exteriorize his or her emotions by celebrating. This festivity can take many form on the social-cultural context and the importance of reasons behind it.
For example, someone may be happy over success or harmony, and wish to celebrate on this. His or her behavior will sometimes correspond with others seen in social gathering, sacred events, or holidays, but the celebration is not any of them.
Anyhow, it's something to consider. Maybe generalizing the aspect of celebration with various examples may better demonstrate what I'm trying to explain. - Enigma55 (talk • email) 06:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Something that might be strange is the catalogue number of Þeyr’s EP Lunaire, since it was released in 1982 with a cat #2 but Purrkur Pillnikk’s Ekki Enn has is #3 and was released in 1981… as the first EP (Tilf). There is no mistake here, but I don’t have a coherent explanation.
Some other sites say that Lunaire was released in 1983, but I’m not sure, because that would put it beyond its current location. Þeyr disbanded by mid 1983. Luis María Benítez 22:54, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
