thread_title: Untitled

message: To improve this Wikipedia page, I will edit mainly on three sections. The executive branch, the legislative branch, and political parties and elections. In the executive branch section, I will follow the 1945 Constitution to elaborate on this section by adding what the responsibility, entitlement and the extent of power that the executives have. I particularly think that this section is extremely lacking in full information and elaboration. Furthermore, I will add to the executive election system prior to 2004 and after that. I will further elaborate on this in the political parties and elections section. Lastly, I will completely add the system of presidential impeachment. In the legislative branch section, I will elaborate more on three things. First is the People’s Consultative Assembly/MPR as a whole. I plan to conceptualize Indonesia’s type of legislative system, which is bicameral and what composed it. Second is that I will introduce the lower chamber of the legislative system, the People’s Representative Council/DPR. I will not only introduce but also elaborate on its functions and limitations of power. The third is introducing the Regional Representative Council/DPD and also their functions and limitations of power. Lastly, in the political parties and elections section, I will add mainly three things, the General Election Commission/KPU, the requirements to vote and the multiparty system of Indonesia. I plan to also add the emergence of democratically direct elections and a multi-party system in Indonesia to give the readers a deeper understanding. I hope that all of my edits will remain coherent with the previous ones and create a complete understanding of the democratic separation of power between the branches.

thread_title:  Incomplete sentence in the introductory section? 

message: The section on translations at the bottom of the article still lists N. K. Sandars' translation, which was last revised in the 1970s. The issue with this is that Gilgamesh translations become outdated for two reasons: (1) the knowledge of Babylonian language in general improves as new clay tablets and fragments are discovered and deciphered, and (2) new fragments of the Gilgamesh epic are discovered (like the "monkey tablet" a few years ago) and older translations don't contain this new content. For this reason, I suggest we remove Sandars' translation and replace it with newer ones, i.e. the translations by Andrew George (Penguin, 1999) and Benjamin R. Foster (Norton, 2nd edition, 2019). I would also list translations of the Old Babylonian version and the Standard Babylonian version separately. ChristopheS (talk) 21:49, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

message: In the more recent editions of Andrew George's translation, the Sumerian stories use the name Gilgamesh just like the Standard Babylonian version.

replies: text: No, Bilgames is the Sumerian form; see the sources cited at Gilgamesh. Furius (talk) 15:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Then why was Bilgames changed to Gilgamesh in the more recent editions of the Sumerian translations? If Andrew George wanted to switch to using the more familiar Babylonian name throughout the book, then why were other Sumerian names like Huwawa, Inanna and An left unchanged? --NetSpiker (talk) 04:07, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You would have to ask Andrew George those questions, assuming he doesn't explain why in the newest editions or elsewhere. Ultimately, there's nothing we can do until reliable sources publish about it. Inferring anything from George changing (only) "Bilgamesh" to "Gilgamesh" would be original research.

The extinct and most primitive form, the Belemnoidea, presumably had ten equally sized arms, in five pairs numbered ventral to dorsal as I, II, III, IV and V.

But before that... does anyone think it might be good to explain the POINT of reincarnation, rather than just the details and/or debate surrounding it?  I mean, to begin the article with why it's an important teaching, regardless of whether it's believed or not?
--Jel 16:30, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, there are a number of issues here, among them being my objection to severing the discussion of reincarnation from that of "Buddhist rebirth" and your point regarding reinterpretations of it as a metaphor. Please feel free to chip away at the article, though I would caution you against identifying the metaphorical interpretation as the "common" "western" one, as I'm not sure it is.कुक्कुरोवाच 19:00, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

text: Jel - be aware that there are many numbers of Western Buddhists who do not in any way consider rebirth to be metaphoric. There are plenty of Western Buddhists who do not consider the hell realms to be metaphoric. There are some Western Buddhists who believe that the world as a sphere is metaphoric, and that the Buddhist Kalachakra view of the world (flat, with a mountain in the middle) is the literal truth.  however, if you wish to qualify your claims into a more specific group (e.g. the FWBO - not that I know what the FWBO say), then go ahead.
