message: Should the paragraph about this guy be turned into it's own article.  The information about his other activities and board memberships seems to be out of place in this Alcoa article.
Is there a "lower limit" to who deserves their own article?  And if he doesn't pass that test, should the non-Alcoa information just be deleted?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by XKL (talk • contribs) 18:57, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hughes says that his name would be on the credits or at least getting some royalty after almost 45 years according from a 2018 podcast interview.

Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-04-18/Andrea Dworkin death

message: FYI, "blogger Joe Gratz" is me. The only reason I figured out that Wikipedia had the scoop was because I'd read the news on sivacracy.net (a post by Ann Bartow, a professor plugged in to feminist academic listservs) and had hopped to the Andrea Dworkin article to update it with a date of death, only to find that it was already taken care of. --Dreamword 23:56, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I would like to applaud Wikipedia for its scoop, but I cannot. Part of the reason is that I have had a lot of communication with Catharine MacKinnon about Andrea since Andrea's death and she was quite disappointed with Andrea's article.  The other problem is that Wikipedia's level of journalism is so low that I doubt that many readers took Wikipedia's claim of Andrea's death seriously.  In balance, the coup fo scoop was kinda poopy.

message: I'm surprised that this article and The Changeling (Star Trek) do not mention the enormous similarities between V'ger and Nomad, both of which are cannibalized space probes from an ancient earth space program and both of which seek "The Creator", and both regard non-mechanical forms of life as an "infestation."  Basically this is a recycled plot from the old series that was used as the basis for the original motion picture.

:Normative is when its the right thing or what is supposed to be or be similair to. same latin roots as normal.
::That was a definition of normatiave, not an example. A good guide is that descriptive statements are like facts or statements which can be disproved, but normative statements are like generalisations or opinions. They cannot be 'proved' or 'disproved', they may only be agreed or disagreed with.
::* An example of a 'descriptive' statement is: "Wikipedia is free."
::* An example of a 'normative' statement is: "Free information is good."

message: aziz@ideayayinevi.com (istanbul)
The term "normative" is a neologism for the non-existen "conceptual" in contradistinction basically of "positive." This is a biassed essay inserting pro-positivist Hume into a place he does not deserve. It must be rewritten according to its place in the totality of the philosophical process.

I think it should be rewritten as "descriptive", instead of "positive", because its more widespread this way and less ambiguous.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.131.250 (talk) 17:24, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

message: I added the following in my own words with citation:
::In the academic discipline of International relations, Smith, Baylis & Owens in their Introduction to Smith, Baylis & Owens (2008)[2] make the case that the normative position or normative theory is to make the World a better place and that this theoretical worldview aims to do so by being aware of implicit assumptions and explicit assumptions that constitute a non-normative position and align or position the normative towards the loci of other key socio-political theories such as political Liberalism, Marxism, political Constructivism, political Realism, political Idealism and political Globalization.
This is my reading and interpretation of this text and I have reservations with my mediation and comprehension of the writer's tenets.
