Talk:Metaphysics

message: I was thinking about implementing changes to this article with the hope of moving it in the direction of GA status. There is still a lot to do since many passages and several full subsections lack sources and the article has various maintenance tags (1x More citations needed section, 2x Unreferenced section, 4x citation needed, 2x page needed). The section "Epistemological foundation" has a WP:NPOV problem since there are many metaphysical methodologies and the deductive approach is not the only one. It could also be expanded to cover the methodology of metaphysics more generally rather than just focusing on epistemological foundations.
The section "History" is very long and encompasses a total of 17 subsections. Since we don't have an article "History of metaphysics", this section could be split off into its own article and replaced with a concise summary of the most important points with a main-template pointing to the main article, see WP:SUMMARYSTYLE. The discussion of the main topics in metaphysics is split into two sections: "Central questions" and "Peripheral questions". As far as I'm aware, this division is not found in the reliable sources and it might be better to have a common section by rearranging the topics. An important omission from this selection of topics is the problem of universals (and possibly also mereology). I was also thinking about having a short explanation somewhere of how metaphysics has been divided into branches, such as the old contrast between general metaphysics and special/specific metaphysics, and things like applied metaphysics and metametaphysics. This discussion should probably be brief to avoid having too much overlap with the section(s) discussing the topics. Some of these branches are already discussed individually so they could be rearranged to a common place.
Various smaller adjustments would be needed but they can be addressed later since the ones mentioned so far would already involve a lot of work to implement. I was hoping to get some feedback on these ideas and possibly other suggestions. I still have to do some research to work out the details. After that, I would start implementing them one at a time but it will probably take a while to address all the points. Phlsph7 (talk) 10:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: As a general remark I think the article is looking better than a lot of our philosophy articles. I am wondering if something should be added to the lede concerning the problems/criticisms in modern science, and even modern philosophy, which are discussed in the article.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 08:33, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the lead needs some work since it currently does not summarize several parts of the article. I usually try to fix the body of the article first before moving on to the lead. This might be another week or two before I get to it but hopefully not too long. I'll make sure to include something about the criticisms as well. Phlsph7 (talk) 10:37, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Media bias

message: The term 'media bias' often is understood to mean an ideological bias, while this article also spends a significant amount of text on structural biases that are not ideologically-driven - I think renaming 'media biases' would be a better encapsulation of the topics discussed on this page.

Talk:Mexico/Old version

message: es:M%E9xicofr:Mexiqueeo:Meksikio
Note: this article has been superseded by the new version at Mexico. Any remaining information here that's not covered elsewhere should be copied into the appropriate current article.
NB: At first glance, it would appear that the entire section on "Divisions of Mexico" has been removed from the current version of this article.  This is not quite the case.  There is a section titled "Political Divisions of Mexico" in the current version of this article.  However, rather than providing information about each state in the Mexico article proper, an enumerated set of links is provided to the Wiki article on that state.  Not all of the information in the "Divisions of Mexico" section below has been folded into the Wiki article for each state.  However, to determine what has and has not been folded in would require someone comparing the information below against the Wiki article for each state.  Hint, hint: anybody want to volunteer?

Talk:Morphology

message: The morphology (biology) page is a redirect.  When I'm changing links from morphology to morphology (biology) should I be changing them all the way to avoid the redirect?  I don't think so, but it's been suggested to me that this would be best.  Opinions? Tedernst | Talk 18:26, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the suggester. When I dab, I tend towards completing the dab by avoiding the redirect. In this case, that's a little problematic since the redirect article's name is so different than the source link. Perhaps comparative anatomy, the destination for the redirect, should be modified to mention morphology directly. Perhaps this disambig should list comparative anatomy instead of the morphology (biology) redirect. Perhaps something else? - UtherSRG (talk) 18:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

text: I think there should actually be an article at Morphology (biology), so I see no problem with a partial dab, since it allows you to see that "morphology" was the intention, not "comparative anatomy". Most of the things I've changed to point to Morphology (biology) would not be appropriate to link directly to Comparative anatomy since they really just meant "shape" within the context of a single organism, species, or genus.

Talk:Marilyn Manson (band)

message: Should we add something to the "Legacy" section where a critic talks about how the allegations have impacted Manson's legacy?MagicatthemovieS (talk) 17:28, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I claim no ownership over these articles. I may have helped to improve them, but other users should feel free to add what they want, provided their edits adhere to Wikipedia policy. In my opinion, though, it's far too early for anyone to determine how these allegations have impacted the band's overall legacy or entire discography. It has only been six months, with little or no comment from Marilyn Manson himself. Surely there were lots of people and "reliable sources" arguing for the band to be "canceled" back during the Columbine controversy. Here we are 22 years later, rehashing many of the same arguments but from an entirely different perspective. Only time will tell. Homeostasis07 (talk/contributions) 23:46, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: When I added that, my time was getting more and more crowded, and I didn’t think it through. I’ve been mostly away from editing since then, only getting back into it a little recently. And I must say, right now, I see the page totally differently. As it exists, it is not a DAB page, but a list of types of mapping. Every entry here is a partial title match, which doesn’t belong on a disambiguation page. If I were to act now, I would turn mapping into a redirect to cartography, and maybe add a hatnote to point out Mappings (poetry collection). (That is the only entry on this page that is a completely different entity; everything else is some form of matching a symbol with a real-world item.) — Gorthian (talk) 02:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

message: Where does the IPA-based transcription come from? Why are the final vowels missing, and where does the schwa come from, oh, and the [w]? Lingala says nothing about such a phenomenon (vowel reduction or apocope not reflected in the orthography).

Talk:Mutagenesis

message: I would consider mutagenesis to be a special case of mutation --buzco
----
The statement that mutagenesis is "the driving force of evolution." is a bit strong. IMHO, "is considered to be the driving ..." or even "is considered to be a driving ...". Consider genetic drift for instance. Also there are some (probably all or mostly all outside the citadel of Established Science) that are not at all sure that "evolution of species" is entirely mechanical or randomly driven.
BTW, the phrase evolution of species is more correct than the simple word evolution. Evolution of species is a special case.
-- buzco

I disagree that this article should be merged into Mutation. Mutagenesis should be considered as the methods in which to obtain specific mutations used in protein engineering. There are numerous different methods used in modern industry which would make up a lot of material for an article on its own. I'll start it up after I've worked out a system on the Swedish article on the same theme, but if someone want to start the article out, I'd be happy. Axelve 18:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I removed the above phrase, which misinformed readers. XML is the standard language for automated cross-media publishing. The move toward separation of content from layout in web publishing, using CSS to define form and XML to standardize content provides the foundation for today's widespread cross media publication. Various levels of automation have been acheived in this process. PHP/SQL systems also afford various degrees of automated cross-media publication, often including reliance on XML and CSS. Padidliwa
