Wikipedia talk:Admin coaching/Requests for Coaching

message: Consider the following:
:*the above conversation ran out of steam two years ago and not one single edit has been made to this talk page in all that time. there has been no actual discussion at the project's main talk page since late 2009, and the only edits to the main project page have been a slo-mo edit war on this very subject
:*it's unclear when the last time was that this project actually paired a coach with a student, and even less clear when such a student actually passed RFA
:*there are requests from 2008 in the "current requests" list, I'd hate to think what is in the "older requests" lists
:*there is a strong perception in the community at large and among RFA regulars in particular that Admin coaching is actually a bad thing as it is seen as "teaching to the test," that is, preparing a user for RFA, not for actually being an admin
*So, for all those reasons I would again like to broach the subject of admitting that this project is effectively dead and should be marked as historical so that admin hopefuls don't waste their time here. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:56, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My point though, is not really about the ideals or goals of the project but rather the fact that it is obviously inactive. Rightly or wrongly this process has acquired a bad reputation and it isn't helping anyone, rather it is wasting their time with false hopes that somebody might actually give them some admin coaching. That's not a good thing, and marking this thing as historical will fix that. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:12, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

text: I don't think this decision needs an RFC, we are just talking about marking an inactive project as historical. If a week or so goes by with no serious objections being raised we can just do that. Staring an alternative program would be a separate discussion. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it's clear at this point that here is no interest in keeping the facade up any longer, I've marked the projects pages as historical and removed all requests for coaching. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:58, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: This whole existence is Purusha

message: In the context of the Samkhya philosophical system, the term Purusha refers to that which is observing. It denotes pure observing consciousness. In Karika 3 Purusha is said to be neither prakrtir nor vikrtih. That means it neither is the world (Prakriti), nor the foundation of the world (Pradhana). It is something else entirely: the observer. Like Pradhana, Purusha is not cognizable by the senses; it is subtle and not directly observable. But unlike Pradhana, its properties cannot be inferred; Purusha is known only through inner experience. Therefore, it is said to be distinct from both Pradhana and Prakriti. In the Tamas state of psychological development, Purusha observes the world without self-knowledge (ajnana). In the Sattva state of consciousness, Purusha observes the world with self-knowledge (jnana). It is always just witness. The only difference between Tamas and Sattva is that in Tamas there is no awareness of this fact, while in Sattva there is! (For more info see Jens Lauschke (2023).

thread_title:  Proposed move to Hebrew Bible judges 

message: The source provided about Abimelech being "questionable" as a judge, is simply referring the passage from the Bible in Judges chapter 9.  But Judges 9:22 states "When Abimelech had reigned* three years over Israel..."[KJV]  The Hebrew word translated "reigned" in this verse, is the same Hebrew word root which is translated "judged" in Judges 10:2 (referring to Tola) and in Judges 10:3 (referring to Jair).
Unless a better source can be provided to refute Abimelech's status as a judge, then I would suggest that Abimelech really should be included in the list of Judges.  Otherwise, who ruled/judged Israel for the three years between the death of Gideon and the death of Abimelech?  It can only be Abimelech, as stated in Judges 9:22.

Talk:Viggo Kampmann

message: The IPA pronunciation guide should be taken with a grain of salt until someone who's both a native speaker and knows IPA well takes a shot at it.
The original was written by an "Adrian Mole": a Welsh schoolboy with Asperger's who doesn't know Danish but read a bit about IPA.  That didn't stop him from adding (wrong) Danish pronunciations all over wikipedia.  Or Norwegian pronunciations without knowing Norwegian.  Or Icelandic without etc...
He has had it explained to him on his (old) talk page but the point didn't seem to sink in.
I don't know what the proper protocol is.  Does one search for his "fixes" and delete them?  Does one make a list of them somewhere to aid the occasional phonetics expert who might have a few minutes to spare here and there?  Is there a "task force" for such things?

Talk:Unearned income

message: The word "rent" (noun) is a from the Middle English "rente" and earlier Old French and Vulgar Latin "rendita", the past participle of rendere (i.e., render) "to furnish; provide a payment".
Another, and different, meaning is "rent" (verb), is also from the Middle English "rend" and prior to that the Old English "rendan" and the Old Frisian "renda".
Whilst it's a cute coincidence, "rent" as in the noun doesn't seem to have anything to with "rent" as the verb. The English words come from different sources (Romance and Germanic) and just so happen to have the same sound.
I leave this here for other to comment on, and if there's no confirmation of an association between the two I'll removing the offending part.
Lev Lafayette (talk) 02:56, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Confirmed, and reverted the offending sentence in this revision. The etymology of rent as cognate with render is quite clearly stated in Webster 1913, which was one of the offending sentence's citations. The Online Etymology Dictionary agrees. I think the author of the offending sentence was just naming random sources for their pre-decided claim, without actually reading what those sources said. --Quuxplusone (talk) 01:42, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

message: There needs to be some clarification about the following statement in the article's first paragraph:
"Poston War Relocation Center...was the largest of the ten American internment camps operated by the War Relocation Authority during World War II." 
Is this in terms of area or population? The Tule Lake Camp had a peak population of over 18,000 ( http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/anthropology74/ce13a.htm ), which is higher than Polston's peak population listed in the article.

thread_title: "Largest" internment camp?

message: This small library on Colorado River Indian Tribes land has some 24 to 36 inches of material that concern the history and operation of the Poston relocation camp. Black & white photos are included. This is a private rather than a public library. Frankly, non-native visitors are tolerated rather than welcomed, and the material is not often accessed. At Poston an official, sun bleached stone memorial juts from the barren desert along the highway. Metal detectors sometimes turn up the rare souvenir. The grounds hold 50 to 60 old houses, occupied by poor families. For a few months it was my job to transport students via long yellow bus to and from schools in Parker.

replies: text: I was thinking about this as well and I'm not sure how to describe the difficulty levels into words. I can only speak from my own personal experience as a spectator as well as intention to participate in my local region next year in "Basic". As you go up in the classes, you are asked to do more and more difficult maneuvers. For example, in Basic, the complexity of maneuvers are, for a lack of a better word, basic.. Things like "rolls", "loops", "stall turns" are the norm. As you go up in difficulty, you are asked to combine maneuvers together, do more complex aerobatics like 2 to 4 point rolls, snaps and stall spins, outside loops, knife edge loops, etc. In the Unlimited class, you probably have at least 10 years of hard-core aerobatic experience behind you or a lot of flight time on the computer simulators. -Gdavidp 02:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
