thread_title: Untitled

message: The mention that she had been deaf since the age of 26 seems like a strange afterthought in the sentence about when she died.  IF that's true (it has no citations, but the same thing is mentioned on other sites) then she was competing in, and winning Wimbledon, and the Olympics, deaf.  I have not checked, but is she the first, or even the only, deaf or handicapped person to win a major international sports event?  I feel like this is an under acknowledged aspect of this woman's life. C.prettyman (talk) 16:50, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Chandragupta Maurya

message: The origin of Chandragupta Maurya has not been written extensively in the article. All the Buddhist and Jain sources of the time mentions him a Kshatriya. The "Mahavansha" clearly mentions him a Kshatriya.
Also,there are other inscriptional evidences which suggest that he was a Kshatriya. Please mention all the evidences.
Also, there are some clans who use Mori/more for themselves.
Mori Rajput are a subclan of Parmar Rajputs and they had a vast and extensive Kingdom in western India before it was taken over by Bappa Rawal of Guhilot dynasty.The Rudradaman Junagarh inscription clearly mentions that Mauryas were of Kshatriya origin.Also, mention about the Chalisgaon temple inscription which mention Mauryas to be of Suryavanshi origin. 2409:40D5:5A:7F1B:B16D:653A:593A:2406 (talk) 10:16, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Jesus/Archive 6

message: Frankly, I think all of this discussion belongs in the article on Christianity, not here.  Here it is important to recognize that there have been changing debates and divisions among Christians concerning both Jesus and Christianity and it is important to sum up different early Christian views of Jesus and name them according to both Christian conventions (e.g., as 168 suggested, "what would become the orthodox Christian position" as well as whatever conventions there are among historians (and if historians debate how to identify these positions, say so), with a link to the article on Christianity (or the History of Christianity) for a complete discussion.

: If the question is "who is Jesus?", there is no resemblance between the Jesus of the Gnostics and the Jesus of the Church.  Mkmcconn 15:42, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Mkmcconn on this. This is an article about Jesus, as such "who is Jesus?" is surely what it is about. Naturally enough this means it must cover some of the ground of the early history of Christianity article, and so far that is all it is doing (An proper article on the early history of Christianity would get far more detailed!) The problem is it is highly complicated and getting a NPOV text is rather difficult, because it is difficult not to use loaded terms. :ChrisG 16:00, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)

thread_title:  My mam have  two sisters  

message: The section on Ancient Jewish bible copyists feels highly anachronistic, and the relevance of its content and cited sources to this article is dubious.
I suggest that anyone who believes this section should be kept begin by providing some evidence from a writer (a historian, journalist, scientist, etc.) with expertise in the article's subject that the practice can be traced back to this Ancient Jewish practice. Then we can begin to discuss how pertinent this information to the history of error detection and correction.
Otherwise, the relationship is merely associative and folklorish. Zelous cat (talk) 08:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Zelous cat Agreed. It's certainly very interesting, but none of the cited research actually links it to modern error-checking, which would make this original synthesis. Nicknimh (talk) 12:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hardware NetBIOS 

message: The premise of this article is to explain the meaning and use of NetBIOS to a person of average intellect. The article fails to achieve this and gets quickly buried in layers of jargon and assumed knowledge. Perhaps those involved in the development and authoring of this page should consider starting again from scratch with the reader in mind. Do not assume that everyone or even the majority of people who read this article have the same understanding as the authors and other commentators. As an observer, it is comical to read the arguments in this talk section making strongly felt but trivial and semantic points that really only add to the obfuscation and confusion.

Talk:Pareto interpolation

message: It's been more than three years, and no one's fixed this.  I don't know the topic, but I'm tempted to edit according to my surmises.
* "to find the median of a set of data" makes no sense!  Here is my surmise: It is intended to estimate the median of a population from which the data were taken as a sample.  Obviously the proposed method will not find the median of the data!
* I surmise that κ is intended to be the lower bound of the support of the distribution and θ the Pareto index.  If so, the article should say so!!
* What are the "categories" referred to???????  My surmise is that either the data are expressed as ranges---thus "19% of the individuals in the sample had incomes between $28000 per year and $33000 per year" etc., or else that the person using this technique is expected to put the data into that form first---in which case it wouldn't hurt to at least mention the issue of where to draw the boundaries.  Either way, the "categories" need to get explained!
* It looks to me as if a non-statistican learned this in an economics course and doesn't know how to think about these sorts of things, and wrote this article.

Talk:The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends

message: Throughout the 1970s and at least some of the 1980s The Bullwinkle Show (with the broadway spotlight and marquee signs & Bullwinkle dancing in top hat and tails) aired on one of the local UHS stations in the Philadelphia area in PA in the after school block. I don’t remember if it was channel 17, 29, or 48 for most of the run, but it might have moved once or twice between the three. By the time additional stations opened up (channel 57 was the most successful) and the lower powered stations (pbs outlets 23, 39(?) and I think 52) grew and had wider broadcast range the show was pulled and the cable TV syndication era began. 
I would be flabbergasted if this only happened in Philly.
I was raised on this show. Puns are a central element of my job as a Cub Scout leader.

message: , with the extraordinarily WP:OWN order in the edit summary that we are not allowed to touch this edit, seems highly WP:UNDUE and pushing a WP:SYNTH argument. Mia Farrow's relationships, good and bad, with her children are of course pertinent, but this clearly one-sided soapbox of a section does not seem encyclopedic to me.--Tenebrae (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  This edit 

message: For years, the article has claimed that Mia's daughter Tam died 'after a long illness'. I tracked this edit down to Aug 7th, 2013. The source referred to explicitly denies that mention was made of a 'long illness'. Nor has Mia claimed in any other verifiable source that Tam died 'after a long illness', so I want to remove these words.
Furthermore, Mia has recently confirmed Moses' claim that Tam died after an overdose of a prescription medication. I want to add this confirmation to the article, referring to this source: 'Mia Farrow Reflects on Her Children’s Deaths' or to Mia's original tweet (her chosen medium for publishing her claims).

Talk:The Metamorphosis

message: I don't think Kafka was so interested in what particular species of insect Gregor became -- as so much of the above discussion is concerned with.  Rather, his focus was to show the horror of Gregor's experience as his mentality changed from human to insectile.  The things that concern Gregor immediately after his transformation are very human and much different than his concerns and habits many months later.  There is a flattening and narrowing of perception or a psychic myopia that Gregor develops reflected in his behaviors which are similar to those of insects that may appear in our own lives.  That is the most horrifying thing.  96.225.76.102 (talk)Kolef96.225.76.102 (talk) 02:25, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Evolution of Insect Mind 

message: This is a trivial matter, but I want to explain a couple of edits. On November 5, 2023, under "Translation of the opening sentence," I changed "In the first 1933 translation of the story, Willa Muir and Edwin Muir" to "In their 1933 translation of the story, Willa Muir and Edwin Muir." I explained at the time that I made the edit because their translation was not the first. The reason that I thought it was not the first is because the list of translations included one by Katja Pelzer in 1915. I have now learned that "1915" should have been "2017," and I edited it accordingly. Therefore, I undid my November 5 edit, but I did not reuse the same words, because they were infelicitous. "In the first 1933 translation" suggests that there was a subsequent 1933 translation, which there was not. Instead, I changed it to "In their 1933 translation of the story — the first into English — Willa Muir and Edwin Muir." Maurice Magnus (talk) 03:31, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
