Talk:History of Materialism and Critique of Its Present Importance

message: "Ideal metaphysics ... have a value as the embodiment of high aspirations." Is it possible that the author of the 1911 Britannica article didn't know that philosophical Idealism is epistemological, not metaphysical? It is an investigation into the relation between mental ideas or images and the external objects that they represent. It is not an investigation into objects that have complete, perfect, or excellent characteristics.

thread_title:  Requested move 

message: Readers of Ernest Chester Thomas’s English translation should note that in many cases he mistranslated the German word “Verstand.” Instead of translating it as “Understanding,” he often rendered “Verstand” as “Reason.”  “Reason” is “Vernunft” in German, not “Verstand.” This can only mean that Thomas was unfamiliar with Kant’s philosophy in which, for example, the Categories are pure concepts of the Understanding, not of Reason. The difference between “Verstand” [Understanding] and “Vernunft” [Reason] in Kant’s philosophy is of the greatest importance.Lestrade (talk) 17:38, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Rainbowwarrior1977/Proposed decision

message: Request for Clarification: There is contention over whether the individual behind Rainbowwarrior1977 is banned, or that account simply blocked. While the voting suggests an ban was intended (hence the use of the term "ban") Fred's comments in the motion to close have let other editors to argue that the individual is free to return. Considering that this individual is also responsible for the activities of Wiki brah and Shelburne Kissmayo, could we get a formal ruling as to whether this is an actual ban, in which case the sockpuppets may be indef blocked on sight, or simply a block, in which case we will need to RfAr Wiki brah and any new sockpuppets. -- Essjay ·   Talk 20:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

When I saw the name "The World Is Not Enough" in the List of home console video games not available on PC page, I had to click the article to figure out it's a Bond game, and at the first glancy only by looking at the image.

thread_title:  General Fabrikant 

message: I don't know about the modern JLA cartoons, but Qward has appeared in at least one episode of Superfriends (128-14 "Doomsday"), in which Superman (having been unexpectedly transported there) uttered the most clumsily-scripted bit of expository monologue in the history of this or any universe: "Unless I'm mistaken, this looks like the anti-matter universe of Qward!"  To nobody.  He just said it aloud for no reason except to hear his lips flapping.  Because in an anti-matter universe, things don't have to make any sense whatsoever.  BTW, isn't the name Qward a corruption of "coward", playing off the antithesis of Hal Jordan's fearlessness?  Asat 19:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Symmetries 

message: The main article statement “No exact results are known for Sudokus larger than the classical 9×9 grid” is misleading. Exact results for some larger grids have been reported online in various places, including older versions of the main article, but do not meet Wikipedia’s reliable sourcing requirements. This is particularly true of 12x12 grids with 4x3 boxes, where independent verification of the original result is extensively documented in a GitHub repository.
The main article statement, “there are estimates which are believed to be fairly accurate” is true. However, these estimates no more meet Wikipedia’s reliable sourcing requirements than the exact results that the main article claims are not known.
It is reasonable for Wikipedia to apply whatever reliable sourcing requirements it deems appropriate, but perhaps this should not result in misleading statements being published in main articles.
A true main article statement might read, “Exact results have been reported for some Sudokus larger than the classical 9×9 grid, as have been estimates for larger grids that are believed to be fairly accurate, but these results are self-published and do not meet Wikipedia’s reliable sourcing requirements.” PatmaxDaddy (talk) 18:36, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

(My personal preference, being British, is "ladybird", and the original version seems to be in Commonwealth English, so that would probably be the most appropriate).

"Spped force" wasnt mentioned directly, but it was implied that there was something that connected all the speedsters. Sorry, i cant remember the issue.

message: I'm not sure how mathematical biology is different from theoretical biology, at least in terms of actual research (there is a subtle conceptual difference, I think).  Should these two articles be merged?  I'd suggesting moving Math bio to be under the title T. bio.  Thoughts?  --Hansnesse 18:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Theoretical biology is about creating general theories and synthesizing information.  Mathematical biology can involve theoretical biology, but it can also be more empirically driven and it does not always have the synthesis of results into unified theories as its goal.  In practice, when people use the term theoretical biology, they often refer to things like mathematical modeling.  Theoretical biology is more philosophical in nature, it probes deeper at times.  Mathematical biology evokes subjects such as population biology or modeling individual cells or larger physiological systems, whereas theoretical biology makes me think of things like Stuart Kauffman's views on self-organization, or Jørgensen's attempts at integrating different theories of how ecosystems work.  The material currently covered on the two pages seems to strongly reinforce my intuition of these two subjects being distinct, although they are certainly very closely related.

I believe it's important to include information on a prominent person's final resting place, and that the Find a Grave template affords us that capability quite well. I noticed that most, but not all, of the articles I visited had the Find a Grave link in a separate "External links" section, rather than embedded in the article itself via a ref statement. So I'm going to take that path, inserting the link at the end, rather than trying to use it as the source of information. I hope this will satisfy editors such as Mr. Cross.
