Talk:The Diamond Age

message: I was going to fix some of the hell wreaked upon this page, but it's too late and it's too much.  Can anyone destroy the analysis section and take out the fancruft, pointless silly opinions, and most importantly POV that is spewing out of that section?--TheGrza 09:35, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
Without analysis & opinions, what would be the utility of an entry? Seeing what other people thought of a book is useful; otherwise we could just list the ISBN and give spoilers, self-satisfied for having read it first. That's why I searched for it. I already know the book from my own POV. Brodo 20:13, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: This article was tagged in 2011 for containing original research. 
Large amounts of original research have been removed (e.g.) have been removed, and the article changed since then, and the article is not making any substantial claims that aren't reasonably supported by the book itself. So I have boldly removed the banner tag and would request that if necessary editors should use more specific  tags or discuss any issues they believe need further attention. -- 109.76.133.69 (talk) 02:33, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: One issue I feel needs attention is real world perspective on the book, namely reviews, so I've searched for some to add to the article. reviewing Crytponomicon] Village Voice briefly summarized The Diamond Age as "a fine but somewhat inscrutable 1995 follow-up, about a future shaped by nanotechnology and the full-scale revival of Victorian culture".

Talk:The Junior Woodchucks

message: I'm not a boy scouts expert, but I was wondering if the reference to the Boy Scouts of America is necessary. The Junior Woodchucks seem to me like any boy scouts organization (e.g. the German ones).

Talk:Corporate farming

message: Although the article is well sourced throughout, in the Debate headline when talking about continents and their debates on family farming, all the other continents beside North America don't have sources to show where the author of the article got his ideas and facts. The article might seem to steer off topic at times, but it doesn't since the author talks about corporate farming in one way or another. However, there is a small bias toward corporate farming when being compared to family farms for example. The bias isn't addressed either since they talk about more benefits for corporate farming instead of balancing the pros and cons between that and other farming practices.Jgarc800 (talk) 23:16, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Internal combustion engine

message: "ICEs are typically powered by fossil fuels like natural gas or petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel or fuel oil."
The sentence structure makes it sound like there are two typical types of fuel: fossil fuels (e.g. natural gas) and petroleum products (e.g. gasoline, diesel fuel, or fuel oil).  Is there a better way to word it, so that the sentence structure makes it clear that natural gas and petroleum products are both fossil fuels?  I can't think of one.  175.39.61.121 (talk) 01:35, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: How about "ICEs are typically powered by hydrocarbon-based fuels like natural gas, gasoline, diesel or ethanol." This would naturally include synthetic fuels. We might possibly add hydrogen in as well, which is not a hydrocarbon, by adding a follow-up sentence "Hydrogen is sometimes used as an alternative to hydrocarbons."  Stepho  talk  04:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Garbage in, garbage out

message: This isn't correct if "soundness" is meant in a technical sense: "an argument is sound if it is both valid in form and its premises are true." Currently, this sentence reads:
> The principle applies to all logical argumentation: sound arguments can lead to unsound conclusions if their premises are flawed.
Would there be any objections to rewriting it as follows?
> The principle applies to all logical argumentation: a valid argument with false premises may have a false conclusion. 98.152.158.27 (talk) 17:22, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  "sound arguments can lead to unsound conclusions if their premises are flawed" 

message: The introductory section in its entirety reads as follows:
"In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, or nonsense (garbage) input data produces nonsense output. Rubbish in, rubbish out (RIRO) is an alternate wording.
"The principle applies to all logical argumentation: soundness implies validity, but validity does not imply soundness."
It is the last sentence that I find to be utterly confusing: Virtually no one knows what (if anything) is the difference between the two words "soundness" and "validity". 
Above all, it is totally unclear what these two words have to do with the GIGO principle, because this summary sentence contains no reference to either input or to output.
For that reason, the second sentence is a very poor way of summarizing this principle for the introductory section.
I hope that someone knowledgeable about this subject can improve this section (and, I hope, remove the last sentence). -- 18:21, 11 November 2023‎ 2601:200:c082:2ea0:6c58:45dd:a546:1959

Talk:1999 Seattle WTO protests

message: I really feel that this article doesn't paint the whole picture well. It seems slanted towards the protesters' point of view, as apposed to being neutral. The article spends more time talking about how many groups of protesters were there, the buildup, and the aftermath especially seems like it is geared towards a police brutality mindset. I edited some on the N30 section, because it didn't even show the National Guard or State Patrol had been sent into Downtown Seattle.
There is more that I wanted to edit, but just could not find a source to quote, and my personal memory, from being downtown during the time is not a proper reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmf12b (talk • contribs) 10:13, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah, it probably is.  I've attempted to sketch why. Someone who's reading it could certainly improve my summary, though.  -- Pde 05:12, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)
According to the article, ""The Uneasy Case for Copyright" was a profound challenge to copyright expansionism, which was just entering its modern phase, and was still largely unquestioned in Northern countries."  I deleted the link on "Northern" to the "The North" disambiguation page, because it was worthless.  Was the author referring to Northern European countries?  Northern Hemisphere countries?

Ancient Greece was a democracy.A Republic before only existed in Ancient Rome. It wasn't called Europe back then because it was inhabited by the Gauls and other tribes. We get the word Europe from Europa,lover of Zeus;which indicates that the word was first used by the Greco-Roman cultered.

But Walsh uses the term (or actually the variant "dyadically rational") without explaining it, so it may well have an earlier origin than that. I don't know of a reliable source that covers this history so I am reluctant to put it in because of our rules on original research.

message: It's important that the phrase "Jiminy Cricket!" was a euphemism for "Jesus Christ!" long before it was the name of a character in a Disney film. A fact that important should not be relegated to a Trivia section. Indeed, it's not impossible that a scriptwriter inserted the name as a way of referencing Jiminy's rather christlike function in the story, as Pinocchio's spiritual guide, whioh would make perfect sense because the Cricket character in the original novel does indeed undergo death and resurrection.
Incidentally, the origin of this phrase as a substitute for "Jesus Christ" should put an end to the silly story, often repeated, that the expression "By Jiminy" originates from an ancient Roman oath taken on the constellation Gemini! Tom129.93.17.139 18:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
