thread_title: Ram Janmabhoomi

message: Article currently has following sentences: The Congress government, lead by Rajiv Gandhi, panicked at the reaction of the Muslims. With elections around the corner, the Congress government did not want to lose the Muslim Vote Bank.
I propose something like "The Congress government, led by Rajiv Gandhi, passed an Act of Parliament which said (whatever). Critics strongly contend that this was done as an appeasement measure (etc)". 
Words like "panic" are strong POV, and ""did not want to" is projection. I agree that this case evokes strong emotions, but please let's keep the Wikipedia article as neutral as possible. --12.210.203.64 22:53, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Effect of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on Myanmar

message: I notice another citation of 600 was added, I combined that with the other citation and put it up front. I hope to add details regarding other reported damages in a few minutes. I think it's time to put to bed the exaggerations of an estimated death toll, despite the fact that a reporter by the name of Ellen Nakashima sold a few articles on the basis of this assumption today.
Although it seems inappropriate by some, I think some background info regarding he opacity of information coming from Myanmar may be required here to quell certain urges by supporters of a free press. I, too, support a free press, but do not support misinformation and politically motivated manipulations of data, even when they're coming from the home team.   Zosodada 23:03, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't believe there was a position titled "Governor of the West Indies".

I suggest the whole section be removed--unless someone can source it. Glendoremus (talk) 03:39, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Nicolas-de-Ovando), Nicolas de Ovando was appointed the first Royal Governor of the West Indies on 3 September 1501. He replaced Francisco de Bobadilla (EB: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Francisco-de-Bobadilla), who had been dispatched by Ysabel and Fernando as Commissioner and Chief Justice, to investigate complaints against Christopher Columbus and his brothers (mainly Bartholomew and Diego Columbus, apparently; this Diego not to be confused with Christopher's elder son, who was also Diego). It was de Bobadilla who arrested Columbus and his brothers on Santo Domingo (Hispaniola), and sent them back to Castile. Although Columbus and his brothers were effectively in charge of the colonisation efforts, they do not appear to have had any formal appointments from either the Crown of Castile or the Crown of Aragon. Basically, Columbus was de facto in charge of the colony because he was actually in charge of the voyage that established it. So, we take the evidence of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (somebody else can check the sources of their articles), de Ovando was the first person appointed Royal Governor of the West Indies. The second was Diego Columbus, son of Christopher, who served from 1508. The title was changed to Viceroy in 1511, but the West Indies were subsequently merged into the Viceroyality of New Spain at the end of Diego Columbus's term as Viceroy of the West Indies.

Talk:Secular (disambiguation)

message: "; in addition, secularism also includes the priority of the civil laws over any religious legislation. Nowadays, all major religions accept this, except for significant schools in Islam (which proclaim just the opposite)."
Is this accurate and NPOV?--Fangz 02:35, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: In 2006, although this word has several meanings, by far the most common meaning is "not specifically religious."  That being the case, the redirect to secularism was inappropriate for at least two reasons:
1.  Secularism, to the extent that it is a valid concept, is an ideological point of view, whereas the word "secular" implies a simple fact that generally has nothing to do with any ideology.  Most businesses and corporations, for instance, are secular organizations (i.e. not church-affiliated), but that does not mean that they hold to an anticlerical ideology.
2.  "Secularism" is a word that is not very frequently encountered, but when it is encountered it is used as a pejorative, indicating some sort of persecution of religion.
If we were to redirect "secular" to secularism, we might with equal logic redirect objectivity to Objectivism or scientific to Scientology.  A perfectly normal, non-prejudicial word should not be equated to an ideology that may be inflammatory.

Talk:Dirichlet convolution

message: Where do these come from?  Are they the same as multiplicative (in the number-theoretic sense)?  Richard Pinch (talk) 21:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah it looks like it just means multiplicative. The results proved in that section is that (f*g)(mn)=(f*g)(m)·(f*g)(n) for relatively prime integers m,n, which is just the definition of multiplicative. A google search for "weak multiplicative functions" returned essentially 2 results (one of which was this wiki article), so I'm removing the term weak. RobHar (talk) 23:56, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Actually, I decided to just remove the whole section, as it was poorly written, it reiterates a statement made in the previous section, and the proof is already in the article Multiplicative functions. RobHar (talk) 00:00, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Weak multiplicative functions 

message: The article says, correctly, that the Dirichlet convolution is analogous to the ordinary convolution of functions on the reals. But it seems to me that one can say more than that, namely, both are special cases of the same concept, convolution on a monoid.

Talk:Verb argument

message: :I don't see how a source could negate the existence of the examples given above. More generally, the subject can be omitted in English in the following cases, at least:
:#In a nominal subordinate clause with the verb in the infinitive — as in the example it is not safe {to put a cat in the dishwasher}.
:#In an adverbial subordinate clause with verb in the gerund, as in he sings while {carrying the piano}
:#In coordinate sentences, as in He bought the car and {sold the house}.
:Granted, the last example above may be analyzed as a single clause with a coordinated predicate He {bought the car and sold the house} (although this does not seem to be a universal approach). In the first example the subject is not only syntactically omitted but also semantically indeterminate. Jorge Stolfi 06:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Examples are still standing...

message: :As for the (non)universality of the concept of "subject", I stand by my comments above. To define a "syntactic subject", the language's syntax must have the concept of "verb" and must give special treatment to one of the verb's arguments, that is somehow comparable to the treatment given by IE languages to their subjects.  I suspect that there are languages where this is quite impossible.  On the other hand, if we try to define a "semantic subject", we cannot do much better than "the subject of a clause in language X is the entity which, in a 'straightforward' translation of that clause into English, gets mapped to the subject of the English cause."  Besides being useless, this definition often fails. E.g., should one translate Spanish me gusta el vino into "I like wine" or "wine pleases me"?

Talk:List of ISO standards

message: Having been adding to this list for a while now, I've noticed there seems to be a bit of inconsistency over how the actual titles for the ISO standards should be formatted in this page. Particularly, the formatting of the separators used in them varies a bit.
Some of the standard titles listed use en dashes as separators:
*ISO 2:1973 Textiles – Designation of the direction of twist in yarns and related products
Others however use em dashes instead:
*ISO 23:1993 Cinematography—Camera usage of 35 mm motion-picture film—Specifications
Many of the others of course use hyphens as separators, but this is wrong going by Wikipedia's Manual of style anyway, and they should probably all be switched to en/em dashes. Unfortunately, I made a lot of the standards I added use hyphen separators, before realising I was making a mistake there. Whoops!
More confusing still though is that ISO itself apparently uses spaced em dashes in its standards' titles (I think?). That or two consecutive hyphens (--), but I assume this is in place of either en or em dashes (depending on whichever is correct).
So then... what should the separators for ISO standards titles be? En dashes? Em dashes? Spaced em dashes? Otherwise? 82.9.105.98 (talk) 16:59, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
