Talk:Chanka

message: The following passage runs like completely nonsensical gibberish
:::"According to sources alleged that story about Inca Culture Chanca, the very Hanan Chancas when bloody fighting, when they were captured the enemy prisoner of war. We did cruel things to show the enemy that they should not meddle with them, they did things like scalp, or while still alive prisoners were uprooted skin, head hung so the blood is concentrated in the upper body and they did a few small cuts on the front of the toes, is where we began to tear the skin gradually, while the prisoner was screaming despavoridos. Another way to intimidate the enemy was making cups made from skulls where prisoners drank the blood of the enemy."
I have chosen to remove it as it is  grammatically incoherent and lends nothing of value to improve the quality of the article.

thread_title:  Translation 

message: There should be some citation or source justifying:
1. That this claim in particular is a deliberate piece of false propoganda by enemies of the Spanish colonialists such as the Dutch or British.
2. That there was in fact no slavery or encomienda-like forced labor system implemented for these people.
3. That we aren't just contributing to the Spanish imperialist "white legend" by dismissing this as the "Black Legend."
4. Maybe a citation or source here? The entire Viceroyalty of Peru section has no citations while making rather bold claims about a deliberate conspiracy against the Spanish empire and dismissing criticism of the Spanish empire as propoganda. I would say that sort of thing should absolutely have a citation

replies: text:  I think this was a mistake. There is a difference between the empire and the people, the civilization. On Fr.wiki and es.wiki there are two sepereate articles for Inca civilization and the Inca empire. I think we should move anything like society, culture, and architecture in this article to Chimu culture, making this article about the historic-military entity. Encyclopédisme (talk) 18:15, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

text: If you look back at the pre-merge page you'll see that there is very little that isn't culture. Fr.wiki and es.wiki are welcome to make different decisions. While there has been expansion over the last 2.5 years, much of it also seems to be culture. So, my view is still that discussing the empire and its culture, as interdependent topics, works. If you feel differently, feel free to propose a WP:SPLIT. Klbrain (talk) 19:20, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I propose a split (this wasn’t done through request either, was it?). There. This page should discuss administration, historical debates, economy (no word about its dependance on irrigation yet). It lacks a lot of important details. But, in order to improve this page with these details about the actual socio-territorial structure, the cultural aspects should have their own page. Religion, society, life, economic activities, art. This is my proposal. Encyclopédisme (talk) 19:40, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition to this, Chimu culture is actually a different thing from the chimu state-like structure it owns. The history of the chimu culture also includes the proto-chimu moche culture, while the history of the socio-territorial structure is about the birth and development of the state, and its fracturation by the Inca.

It is a curiously regular space on the summit of an isolated 2400m mountain not far from the classic Incan sites.
Within the light coloured, apparently open, space it is possible to discern 2 rectangular areas. A slightly larger rectangle to the south, and a square of similar width attached to its northern side.

message: Removed the three paragraphs below as they are copied nearly verbatum from http://www.acppubs.com/article/CA6449212.html:
:Imperium Renewables was founded as Seattle Biodiesel in late 2003 by John Plaza to commercialize his new design for biodiesel refining. Saybr Contractors Inc., a Northwest petroleum facility contractor, entered into a joint venture to construct the first commercial implementation of this biodiesel refinery technology in Seattle in 2004. That refinery opened for business in early 2005 and currently produces 5 million gallons of biodiesel per year.
:(Here is the reference for the paragraph above if needed: 
)
:The Grays Harbor project involves building a production facility measuring 100 feet by 300 feet, a tank farm with eight storage tanks of 2 million gallons capacity apiece, a railroad yard and minor improvements to two existing marine terminals. 
:Raw materials for producing biodiesel at the facility will include both vegetable oil transported by rail from Iowa and palm oil shipped by sea from Southeast Asia.

thread_title:  Duplication (or disambiguation)? 

message: This article duplicates the statement (from the website) that SaC is a functional language while strictly speaking it is not. The major issue is that SaC allows the use of variables which is clearly a form of state while according to the "definition" of functional languages here on wikipedia is the first golden rule for a functional language. It might be a good idea to make it clear that SaC can convert its syntax into a functional description but the description itself is not strictly functional (although perhaps applicative). Addendum: SaC does not have a notion of global state but only local state, this is indeed like a functional language, although the use of c-like 'variables' is more of the 'syntactic sugar'. Cyberwizzard (talk)
* Since it does not have closures (which I assume is what is meant by "higher-order functions [...] are not (yet) supported by SAC" (which I believe is incorrect, since even plain C supports higher-order functions, in the form of function pointers)), I think it doesn't really qualify as functional. 201.35.78.190 (talk) 00:10, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Dorset Scout County (The Scout Association)

message: I have consulted with another editor - outside of Scouting.  Assuming good faith, I'm afraid that I cannot see that these new sites fit in with Wikipedia as they appear effectively nothing more than a list of branches of The Scout Association.  For further information on this please see the section Wikipedia is not a soapbox on Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, notably the section on advertising.  Even when open to Groups of all Associations these pages were of suspect standard, and closing them to independent Groups has not helped in any way.
