Talk:Southwark, Philadelphia

message: Thanks to HappyCamper for posting this for me.South Philly 23:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Thanks

message: The name was adopted, partly, in allusion to the situation of the district south of the city of Philadelphia, but it was also adopted from the name of a borough in the county of Surrey, England, immediately opposite the city of London.
:This doesn't really make sense.  Southwark was the London borough located directly south of London.  The name of the London borough and the district's situation aren't alternate and competing reasons for the name; together they explain it.  This should probably be changed, eh? john k 20:35, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you mean the sources said?  What I mean is that the original Southwark was a district so-called because it was just to the south of London.  Similarly, Southwark here was so-called because it was just to the south of Philly, in the same way that Southwark is just to the south of London.  john k 23:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The sentence is totally bizarre, because it implies that there is somehow a conflict between it being called Southwark because it is just south of Philly and it being called that after the town just south of London called Southwark.  I shall change it in the manner you will see... john k 03:46, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure how this paragraph furthers a reader's understanding of Erich Kempka. It seems more relevant for an entry on Salim Hamdan. I would like to hear what other editors think about this. --Zippy (talk) 04:45, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't add it, but I think it is relevant information if a legal case fifty years later relies on his for precedent (or tries). It speaks to the legacy of the person, just like it doesn't help my understanding of Pelham to know there's a statue of him in Alabama, or that his spur was melted down and included in the casting of an Exhibition bell honouring war heroes - but it does speak to his relevance post-mortem. Kempka is the same. Sherurcij (speaker for the dead)  08:13, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Limitation of size

message: My hand was a little bit forced in writing this article; I had put it on requested articles, and someone fulfilled the request with a redirect to Von Neumann-Bernays-Gödel set theory, which was not what I was interested in. Since the existence of the redirect would have resulted in removal of the request from requested articles, I had to write a stub.
Unfortunately I'm not all that sure of my facts here. I don't have Hallett's book, for one thing. So if anyone can help out with this question, it'd be appreciated:
I said Cantor developed the notion in response to Cantor's paradox, but the article there says the paradox was not formulated until 1899, and I would have thought "inconsistent multiplicities" was an earlier concept than that. On the other hand I don't know what else would have led him to call such multiplicities "inconsistent". Can anyone straighten out the historical order? --Trovatore 23:44, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I also need someone to check the originator of the idea. I don't have Hallett's book, but from what I could find by browsing it at amazon, it looks like the idea, or at least the phrase, may have come from Jourdain. But "inconsistent multiplicities" is still Cantor's terminology, isn't it? Does someone have a reference for his meaning for that phrase? --Trovatore 06:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't agree.  Limitation of size as a philosophical concept seems quite different from any formal axiom.  If anything the axiom article should be merged to the philosophical one.  --Trovatore (talk) 21:32, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Having taken a look at that article, I kind of think it's misnamed.  It's not really just about the axiom.  Logistics aside, much of that content (especially the "doctrine" section) should live in a philosophical article without "axiom" in the name, and there should be a small technical article about the axiom specifically, which should have the "axiom" name.  I don't have an immediate proposal for how to get there. --Trovatore (talk) 21:43, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Maybe the easiest would be to merge this into the current "axiom" article, then move the "axiom" article to the "limitation of size" name over the redirect — this would require admin help.  Then the intro of the combined article could be edited to somewhat de-emphasize the formal axiom and talk more about the philosophical aspects.  --Trovatore (talk) 21:47, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I believe the following assertion belies a non-neutral point of view: "Two feminist historians, Elizabeth Mason-Hohl and Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead, wrote about Trotula in the 1930s/40s. Both women made false and unsupported elaborations about Trotula’s life, leading to misconceptions that last to this day." To call Mason-Hohl and Hurd-Mead's claims "false and elaborate" is groundless, especially given that Hurd-Mead's text is still today one of the most reliable sources for the study of the History of Science. Moreover, primary source evidence exists to prove that women graduated from the School of Salerno. I will add this information to the article presently, but I do hope that the above quote can be removed. Alexandrathom (talk) 16:50, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV

message: The tone of this article is wrong. WP is an encyclopedia, and articles should be written in the formal abstract style of an encyclopedia, not the discursive one of an essay.  All opinion given should be sourced to reliable sources, and the material presented in an organized fashion. For example, you cannot say "These works are considered the most circulated medical pieces on gynecology and women’s problems." unless you have an exact quote for it. Otherwise, just give the facts of on which such a conclusion might be based. Don't use vague adjectives like :"many" manuscripts. The sources probably give some numbers. 
An attempt should be made to find not just books but periodical articles--particularly articles available online. It's not required, but the material is likely to be available, and it would make the article much more useful to the readers. 
We need an article on this subject, but as it stands, it would have to be almost completely rewritten. I suggest the fist step would be to break the material up into smaller paragraphs, and figure out some logical order for them.   DGG ( talk ) 01:46, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Writing style in ''Early Years'' section 

message: The opening section explains how Francis became the Duke of Anjou but the section titled "The Duke of Alençon and the Huguenots" is referring to The Duke of Alençon and uses the name Alençon as a person, whom I assume is Francis, but it is not made completely clear at any point in the article why this is appropriate. This is from the perspective of a person who is trying to research the history of the name Alençon as a city name, but also as a region name.

message: The article states that a disadvantage of this variation is that "the knight is vulnerable to a b-pawn advance from Black." However, is it not the case that Black's b-pawn can be stopped in its tracks with the sharp 4.a4! ?
Joe Gatt (talk) 00:43, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking as someone who once played 3.Nc3 myself, it makes little sense to me to spend a move just to weaken the queenside. If Black plays 4...e5, you'll get the same IQP positions that come up after 3...e5 except that the inclusion of a2-a4 and ...a7-a6 makes Black's life much easier – b4 is a useful square for a black knight or bishop. Or he could play 4...Nc6 when you get a Chigorin-like position where the inclusion of a4 and ...a6 probably lets Black hang on to the c-pawn. Cobblet (talk) 00:58, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

text: Sorry, I neglected to say that I was assuming Black would play 3...a6, the most critical reply to 3.Nc3. Obviously in that case controlling b5 with the knight is not enough, and my comment explains why mechanically preventing ...b5 by meeting 3...a6 with 4.a4 is not very promising. The alternative replies 3...e5 and 3...Nf6 let White transpose into normal lines of the QGA, which is something he should welcome. Cobblet (talk) 00:57, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not so clear to me why the variation 1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nc3 a6 4.a4! is not promising for White. If 4...e5, White can reply with 5.d5 or 5.e3, and still have a good game. In fact, even 5.dxe5 Qxd1 6.Nxd1 looks good for White.Joe Gatt (talk) 09:02, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

message: This article states: "The property was constructed during a heavy rainstorm, and one family stayed at the property a week before it was completed, at Day's insistence." Somehow the claim a hotel was built during a heavy rainstrom seems amazing to say the least as a hotel usually takes months to build. If a rainstorm really lasted that long, it's surprising there was anything left of the town where it was being built. One would think it would have been washed away - afterall, the whole world was under water after it rained for just 40 days and nights... As for a family staying there before the hotel was completed - any chance the father's name was Noah?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:380:63E0:0:0:0:D0F2 (talk) 20:49, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

message: The Homoians, however, had a powerful ally on their side in the person of Emperor Constantius II. In the context of what goes before, this seems to make Homoian a synonym of Homoiousian. In the next paragraph, however, they are clearly treated as different things. The article on the Acacians uses the spelling, Homoean(s), for which Acacian is a synonym. That article does not mention the Homoiousians at all. The difference between the two groups (if two there are) needs to be explained.
