Talk:Roderick Chisholm

message: Hi, folks.  This is my first venture into wikipedia world, so I hope I'm obeying the rules.
I made a few changes here, mainly additions (it's important to note that Chisholm was a foundationalist; and that D. C. Williams was co-director of his thesis; and I added some books).  The only major change I made was about whether Chisholm was a libertarian about free will (and so an incompatibilist) or a compatibilist.  He argued forefully for the incompatibility of freedom and determinism, and I don't believe he ever took that back.  So I eliminated the bit about "some people think it's a version of compatibilism" -- although, if there are people who say this, it might be worth mentioning, to clear the matter up.  Still, I've never heard anyone say this, even.  
Now, there is the question whether "agent causation" requires indeterminism; or might be compatible with determinism.  I have heard of compatibilists who wanted to posit agent causation.  But so far as I know, Chisholm doesn't address that question; and in any case, he always says that free action requires indeterminism.
Thanks very much to whoever started this entry on a great philosopher, and a kind and generous man.
:From what I know your changes are correct. However, I think this article needs to be reworked. The intro section is just too long, and the rest of the article contains very little. So, the beginning needs to be shortened and put into the rest of the article, and also hopefully expanded. I could give it a try (although I don't know too much about him) when I get a chance in a month or two. If anyone wants to do it in the meantime that'd be great. - 142.151.161.204 (talk) 18:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Flemming v. Nestor

message: Dear fellow editors: I have made some cosmetic edits to this article. I express no opinion on whether the article accurately reflects the text of the court's decision, as I haven't had a chance to get to this (I think I studied this case in law school, but that was a thousand years ago).
I deleted the reference to the "holding" of the case, changing it to "result." I think that's a safer description until I or someone else has a chance to study the court's decision and work on this article some more. Yours, Famspear 20:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're making this sound more complicated than it is.  For heaven's sake, the Flemming v. Nestor decision is written in plain English, easily understood by someone with a high school education and average command of the English language.  It can be read and grasped in less than an hour.

Talk:Brave New Waves

message: For some reason, the simple, straightforward fact that after May 2006 the program no longer aired live for four hours a night, but instead aired a mixture of new and repeated content for the remainder of its run (and that Patti Schmidt herself was only heard in the repeat portion, and never hosted any of the "new" stuff), keeps getting removed from the article. It's quite unclear why, as the statement is properly sourced and absolutely true and in no way controversial or problematic — and, in fact, the very same anonymous IP that keeps removing the content previously attempted to add external links to blog posts which also described the show's post-May 2006 iteration as a guest-hosted mixture of new and repeated content. 
So that description of the show's final year on the air was clearly accurate enough to be linked to in weak sources by the very same user who disputes it now, yet our article can't say the very same thing while citing a more reliable source for it? And we'll never mind that the very same user was the first person to specifically add anything to the article about the significance of May 27, 2006 being the last fully-new episode of the show in the first place, yet repeatedly resists any attempt to provide any further detail on the form the show actually took after that date?

I deliberately cut off the description of the system to avoid describing lower levels in detail, except for one sample longer path, and in addition made some other omissions (the .0 and .m topics, and the cross-references from one topic to another) in the hope that this level of excerpting is sufficient for this to be fair use for review purposes rather than copyvio.

message: I nominated :commons:File:FRL-4H.jpg for deletion, though it was not being used, and I was informed that there are other similar images which should also be deleted because the GB stamp on the covers is covered by crown copyright for 50-years. You should likely move at least one image back to this wiki and make a fair-use claim with a completed fair-use rationale which would be acceptable of complying with all 10 non-free content criteria unless you can find a cover used before 1960 which would likely be freely licence depending on the rest of the cover. ww2censor (talk) 20:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As the volunteer that looks after this organisations web presence, I have removed the images.  The Wikipedia copyright requirements do not allow the arrangement they had been used under. As such, they have been removed.

replies: text: It is obviously your decision to remove images from the article but you have advise on what you can do to keep one, or even more, of these images. I have another question. Does the organistion or the artist own the copyright to the FRLS labels? The article is not unitdy, just devoid of images. The prose informs readers very well about the topic. ww2censor (talk) 15:24, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ownership is vested in the FR Company.  To understand why would require a long winded response detailing the history and development of the FRLS. Please buy my book! I said the article "would look untidy" if the markers for the missing images were left in.  --Keith 15:47, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Just a head up; the images have not yet been deleted (and may not be for some time giving you the chance to move one to this wiki) and there is a bot User:ImageRemovalBot that removes deleted image code in article, so you did not need to do that yet, but the choice is yours. If the copyright is owned by the FR Co, then that is good and avoids any other possible copyright issue. ww2censor (talk) 16:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Scintillation detector

message: I've put back the merge tags on all sections. The origin of this article (made by an anonymous, replacing the redirecto to scintillation counter) seems to be kind of a research on detectors for homeland security, so it's kind of a funny mix. The general section overlaps almost completely with Scintillation counter, and the characteristics of sigle types of scintillators should be in that article. Then there are parts on algorithms, on neutron detectors... each of which could actually contribute some content to the relevant articles. So I believe that it should be split and merged, and in the end replaced with a link to scintillation counter. Sergio Ballestrero 20:45, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The article lists the direct address for a Prior who's full name is Fr. John Smith O.P.  as Fr. Smith. In my experience working with, for and being educated by members of a religious order of men, they almost always go by their first name since it is often different from their baptismal name and chosen at their profession. I believe the proper direct address for a prior therefore would be either Fr. John (Or Br. John if he isn't ordained) or Prior John.  The only time I have ever seen members of a religious order use their surname in address is when they are doing parish work and a Prior would not be thusly employed.
