Talk:Cyberprep

message: I was just wondering if anybody had any examples of "cyberprep".  I've never heard this term used before anywhere else but here.  I was going to suggest maybe the beginning of Starship Troopers, but don't recall any examples of cybernetics in that.  --BriskWiki 05:27, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you!  I think maybe this should be included in the article if you have any more information about it.  I was thinking for a while that somebody just pulled this term out of thin air.  I really should get ahold of that book. --BriskWiki 17:53, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: I would say that the term "cyberprep" is a term that is evolving now, cybercouture is a fashion genre that is gaining ground and I would expect people to need a term that differentiates the high fashion scene from that of the scavanged cyberpunk scene.
(Fixed maru's link.) I am skeptical about the currency of this term too. It popped up here and there in the late 80s, most notably in connection with Judith Tarr, who I thought was the coiner, and Susan Shwartz--see --but I haven't heard it since. I thought of it then as sort of a joke inversion of cyberpunk, not a real direction. It's not a current topic in SF as far as I know. rodii 02:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any examples? 

message: I removed the merge tag to cyberpunk; there's no discussion of the merge on either page, and certainly no consensus. Since cyberpunk is a featured article, I'd be loath to merge in a minor topic like this without discussion. Additionally, if this article is correct, cyberprep is seen as its own offshoot of cyberpunk, not a part of it (I studied cyberpunk, and I've never heard the term, fwiw). The two articles are linked -- that seems good enough. -- phoebe 17:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Oratory of Saint Philip Neri

message: This site, especially this page (http://www.oratoriosanfilippo.org/costituzioni.html) could be quite useful in creating a fuller description of the Oratorian life. My Italian is not up to the Job of translating it.
The Oratorians, are, I gather, fairly independent and relatively democratic - each house having its own autonomy and all the full members of the community having voting rights on descisions - which once made, even the Provost must abide by even if he strongly disagrees with them. The constitution should allow someone to write a fuller and more accurate description of these issues.
:Your points about the democratic nature of Oratorian houses is correct. I was a member of an Oratorian house for a time. The head of the house, the provost, is more or less a "first among equals" and is elected by all the priests and brothers in the house. Another aspect of Oratorian life that is distinct from most Catholic forms of religious life is that each member continues to own his own personal property and earn his own salary (as opposed to those under a vow of poverty who give up ownership of property, although they may still have the use of the property.) Each member contributes to the common expenses of the house voluntarily in proporation to his ability. The house also is typically supported by benefactors as well. CrazyElk 05:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Untitled 

message: I don't really understand this article. It states that the Congregation was founded by St Philip Neri sometime in the 16th century, but implies that the first actual Oratory wasn't founded until 1848. And it seems as if the congregation is now very much an English language entity, confined to the UK and North America.
I'm not sure whether this is true, in which case we need some sort of explanation as to what happened in the 250 years or so before 1848. Or whether the article is just grossly anglo-centric, and is completely ignoring a whole community of (possibly pre-1848) Oratories outside the English speaking world. I'm going to add the cleanup tag, as this clearly needs sorting out. -- Chris j wood (talk) 13:30, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Digging further, I found , which states that there are over 70 Oratories world-wide. Comparing this with the list in the article, I think it is now clear that we are dealing with the second option here; an anglo-centric article. So I've changed the cleanup tag to a more specific globalize one. -- Chris j wood (talk) 13:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

text: I've restructured the article to put the anglo-centric information in one section, and added cited info from the above reference to substantiate world-wide coverage. The new section (Oratories around the world) still needs the globalize tag, because it has no info from outside the UK/NA. I havn't managed to find this information, so it will have to stay that way for now, but at least the bias is now open, rather than covert and confusing. -- Chris j wood (talk) 14:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bollingen Prize

message: If you search in google for "Bollingen Prize translation" then the first hit you get says:
"Bollingen Prize -- Encyclopædia Britannica
... In 1961 the Bollingen Foundation also established a prize for translation. ... In 1961 the Bollingen Foundation also established a prize for translation. ...
www.britannica.com/eb/article?tocId=9080497 - Similar pages"
Using this link is useless unless you are registered with the Britannica.  But from the little information there it is clear there is a second Bollingen prize (one for translation).  And this page also refers to the prize and moreover says: the winner in 1963 was Richard Wilbur.  I also think that Robert Fitzgerald won the prize for his translation of the Illiad and also that Walter Arndt won it for his translation of Eugene Onegin.
Beyond this I can't seem to find any information about the prize.  Can anyone else shed some light?  Number 0 16:27, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Bollingen Poetry Translation Prize

message: I notice that it isn't indicated anywhere in the body that this is specifically an American award.  I'm guessing it's not just coincidence that all the winners have been Americans.  But can anyone know for sure if the recipient has to be an American?--Lairor (talk) 06:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point! The webpage for the Prize includes a description: "Among the most prestigious prizes available to American writers, the Bollingen Prize for Poetry has, for more than fifty years, been a force in shaping contemporary American letters. Early Bollingen Prize winners—Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, Marianne Moore, E.E. Cummings, to name a few—are today widely considered to be writers whose work defined a new American literature of the twentieth century. More recent winners—John Ashbery, Robert Creeley, Louise Glück, Anthony Hecht, John Hollander, Stanley Kunitz, W.S. Merwin, Gary Snyder, Mark Strand, and Richard Wilbur—represent an exciting stylistic diversity in American writing; the work of these poets will influence and characterize the future of American poetry in all its variety." I'll update the article accordingly. Easchiff 12:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:AltaVista

message: I used to use their email all the time, then in 2002 I got a frankly hubristic message informing me that 'Altavista are closing down the email service so we can focus on what we do best: search". I was pretty cheesed off, and also thought they were probably making a big mistake. In the comment about someone says that DEC never realised the potential size of the search engine market: but they never realised the value of the 'free' (subject to data harvesting) email element either.
Within months of shutting down their email bit they were taken over, and then joined the long list of dead internet tech companies.

Talk:New York Tunnel Extension

message: I have not edited the article, but this is slightly misleading.  There are actually two double track tunnels east of Penn Station to Sunnyside Yard.  Only the north tunnel was (and is) primarily for Long Island Railroad service. The south tunnel was for through PRR trains to New England via Hell Gate Bridge (don't know when that service began) and, more heavily, taking empty trains just arrived at Penn station from the south and west to Sunnyside Yard for breakup and turning and also taking just made up empties to Penn Station.  This pattern continues with Amtrak.  Sunnyside at most times (perhaps at all times -- I am not sure about the current situation) has been used primarily by PRR and more recently Amtrak  for breakdown, makeup, turning, cleaning, servicing and storage of long distance trains and equipment -- not LIRR.   I think the usual contributors can verify the above.  If I don't see an edit over the next month or so, I may try my hand at it. I prefer to leave it to the people who have been the usual contributors here.  Frog One 12:57, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Merge?

message: I don't really know, but I guess it's so. In many other mammals, even in chimps, the pelvis has a different shape and it lacks a "floor-like" shape, as the posture isn't upright; it's somewhat like a pelvic "canopy". Many anatomy articles are somewhat "anthropocentric", they go describing the anatomy as such but sometimes fail to mention whether the specific human trait is being described or whether it's a broader description that applies to most of the organisms that have the organ. This article probably does not states that the term does not apply to non-human or non-upright primates, but has an illustration that makes clearer what I said about how it's likely to be a term more specific to primary (i.e. not-secondary, not "primitive", but "advanced") bipedal hominine anatomy. --Extremophile (talk) 04:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:NFL Films

message: I can't prove that it should have been scored a fumble; that's a valid criticism. I do see Owens strip the ball from Kiick, but because of the camera angle, what happens to the ball after that is unclear, except that evidently Kiick fell on it. I do hear someone say "Fumble!" and then someone, possibly Pardee (watch his head) says "Shit!" It's possible that it happened so fast only the players in the immediate area of the tackle saw it. But if Kiick lost possession of the ball prior to the whistle, isn't it a fumble? As for supplying a citation to back up my claim, that would simply be the DVD itself, wouldn't it?.
My claim that the play is shown out of sequence is based on the official play-by-play; Kiick was tackled by Owens, not Pardee, on Miami's last possession.65tosspowertrap 01:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Unicode Hieroglyphs

message: Unnecessary text (or perhaps need to be rewritten?)
It should be emphasised that transliteration is not the same as transcription. Transcription seeks to reproduce the pronunciation of a text. For example, the name of the founder of the Twenty-second dynasty is transliterated as ššnq but transcribed Shoshenq in English, Chéchanq in French, Sjesjonk in Dutch, and Scheschonq in German.
As important as transliteration is to the field of Egyptology, there is no one single standard scheme in use for hieroglyphic and hieratic texts. Some might even argue that there are as many systems of transliteration as there are Egyptologists. However, there are a few closely related systems that can be regarded as conventional. 
Also many parts of the text are un-sourced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.136.155.232 (talk) 21:48, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
