Talk:Yuanfen

message: "Affinity occasion" could be a good translation of yuánfèn, as yuánfèn depends on the probability, or chance, of meeting (or seeing) someone in the real world at any given time and place, and involves both persons feeling as if they have already known each other for a very long time, even though in reality, they haven't.

message: Two Singaporean correspondents have verified to me that "Have fate without destiny" (pinyin: you3 yuan2 wu5 fen4) is a proverbal saying there, but I don't know about the vernacular elsewhere.

replies: text: It's not really a sentiment but rather an explanation of certain events. In modern Chinese it's often used as a break-up line (equivalent to "It's not meant to be" in Anglophone cultures) or as a consolation to people who go through a break-up. Chevrox 03:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wellington College

message: I have moved Wellington College (New Zealand) to the top of the list on this page as it has the largest school roll and it is therefore the most common usage of the term "Wellington College". Such an ordering is required by the Wikipedia policy on the the ordering of disambiguation pages (that they should be in order of the most commonly used). Although Wellington Girls' College has a greter school roll than Wellington College, Berkshire, I have left it on the bottom of the list as it is not actually called "Wellington College" and is therefore not a common usage of the term "Wellington College". I have not been able to find school roll information for the other two colleges on this list so I have not changed their position on the list. If someone else has this information they should fix the page accordingly. --Jol123 12:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Neurocognition

message: Hi there,
I've replaced the original initial sentence of this entry.
In the case of this entry the construction "Neurocognitive functions are cognitive functions closely linked to the function of particular areas, neural pathways, or cortical networks in the brain" suggests a confidence in this terms precise use that we don't have.
All cognitive functions are closely linked to areas of the brain, however it is possible to talk about cognitive functions without ever referring to the brain or any neural substrate. In particular, 'neurocognitive function' is a term which not only labels a type of function, but unlike the term 'cognitive function' specifically refers to the fact that its provedence is from neuropsychology or cognitive neuroscience or a similar discipline.

"perception defragmentation of concepts"  
This statement, and the lesser "defragmentation of concepts"  appears only in this article and exact word for word of the entire section, anywhere on the internet.  I can find no definition for defragmentation in this particular context.  Could we expand on this to better reflect its meaning?

So, what *is* Big5, i.e., what characters does it map and how does it map them?  The other pages on encodings seem to at least list what character ranges they can represent, and for the smaller (8-bit) ones a complete table.
... I Googled for a bit, but couldn't turn up a spec.  I did find out it uses 8- or 16-bit characters.  Playing with iconv seems to indicate it's a superset of ASCII.  Can anybody do better?

Talk:Simplified Chinese characters

message: A few points I've been thinking about, though maybe it's good to have this on Talk:Chinese characters or Project:China or somewhere.
* So, I think it's correct to view 'traditional' and 'simplified' characters per se as sister sets, just like men didn't descend from apes: their character variants were both in use well before the two sets were standardized in the 20th century. If Khitan small script is a sibling of Simplified, so is Traditional, imo.
* There's a conflation throughout the article, maybe an insignificant one, but it seems important to me, between 'simplified' and 'Simplified' characters, and likewise with traditional. It feels right to use 'simplified' when talking about the concept in general and looking and various examples, and 'Simplified' when talking about the specific standard promulgated by the PRC, and its political/scholarly history &c &c. This is reinforced of course by the fact that there are different Traditional character sets used in Hong Kong versus Taiwan etc, and simplified variants that aren't on the PRC list.

Talk:Chinese character encoding

message: From the sentence about TC to SC conversion.
 although there is little market for such products and they are therefore practically nonexistent
IIRC, this phrase was part of a sentence talking about using Big5 for SC. Though Big5 is capable of encoding SC, there is no example of such product.  Somehow this is grafted into a sentence about TC to SC conversion and turned into a bogus claim.  TC and SC conversion are widely used by websites that need to cater to both types of readers.  There is a big market for such products.  Since SC to TC is error prone but TC to SC is straight forward, it is not hard to assume that those bi-encoding websites would store all their source text in TC and convert to SC on the fly.

I don't agree. Ending up on "Magnet Therapy" was definitely not where I intended to be from clicking on "Magneting Healing" from the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_David_Palmer . Magnet healers claim to be able to cure some ailments (e.g. plantar warts) through touch, and whatever "energy fields" they have. It has nothing to do with magnet-based "jewellery" and the industry that goes with it.
