Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Irate/Proposed decision

message: If either of these proposals are passed, I think the arbcom should make a note of how they would like to be informed of any return to old habits? i.e. should this be a new request for arbitration, a request for clarification, or some other method/place? Thryduulf 15:17, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: suspended personal attack parole

message: I would suggest that Irate's new commitment to "undertake to act in a more restrained manner in future" will not be upheld. The following is not an encouraging sign: I tried to make some conciliatory comments and advice on his talk page,  only to have them reverted immediately with the comment "removed vandalism" . He appears unwilling to make peace or communicate, proclaiming, after the previous exchange on his talk page, that now "any comments by my accuser will be removed as vandalism." If this user fails to act with civility even when the Arbcom are trying to decide his case, what hope do we have for afterwards? My good-will towards Irate is beginning to fade. — Matt Crypto 16:26, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Category talk:Newspapers published in the People's Republic of China

message: Those two that have been banned have been edit warring over the definition.  The banning administrator reverted the last edit for fairness sake.  In all fairness though, Instantnoods edit limiting this  was unasked for, and has been reverted  for nearly a year.  The fair thing to do is remove the contentious edit completely. 
The current status of the category is to be re-named to specifically be for the PRC. The re-naming may also disagree with that limitation of mainland only.  Post-rename, any sub-states of the PRC can have sub-categories in this PRC category. SchmuckyTheCat 20:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Nicos Poulantzas

message: "In particular, he focused on how an inherently divisive system such as capitalism could co-exist with the social stability necessary for it to reproduce itself - looking in particular to nationalism as a means to overcome the class divisions within capitalism."
I agree with everything up to the "looking in particular to nationalism"....Poulantzas doesn't have much in the way of discussion about nationalism. Perhaps, the contributor meant in terms of the role ideology plays in maintaining social cohesion, e.g. in Political Power and Social Classes, circa page 200, he he writes that ideology acts' as a 'social cement'. (it does bear a strong resemblance to Durkheim's account of religion.)
+++++
I'd like to urge the writer to clear up somewhat the last paragraph.  I changed 'them suppose to bracket' to 'that they suppose themselves to bracket' with the intention of using
'suppose' as a present tense verb to give the sense that these standpoints falsely (ideologically) imagine or suppose themselves to 'neutrally' 'bracket' the content
matter of their theoretization when, in fact, their own ideological presuppositions are inseparable from their standpoint
also, there's an incomplete sentence earlier on in the same paragraph, which I am tempted to complete with 'globalization' but am not sure that would be correct to
the earlier contributor's meaning
I have hardcopies of all of Poulantzas' works, but am not expert enough to really contribute, but would urge someone who is (such as the writer of the brilliant
Louis Althusser article), to add to this Poulantzas article with a fuller explanation of his structural theory of the state, similarly to how the Althusser article
discusses 'practices' 'wholes' 'totalities' and 'instances' which I believe Poulantzas to share

Talk:Network planning and design

message: I'm reviewing these pages in response to Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Teletraffic Engineering.  I have not found an equivalent page in Wikipedia, so I believe this should be kept.  A redirect should be made from Network planning to this page.
Having said that, talking as a person who has been directly involved in network planning in several instances, there are several comments to this page.  
* too technical - some more care is needed to not rely on technical terms too much
* too much theoretical - practical examples would help
* a bit academic - more relation to commercial realities would be useful.
* some pictures would help.
On the factual side, your rule of thumb is a little difficult to apply directly.  For example most datacom networks (including CCS7 networks) should be dimensioned at 20% utilisation, but using that base, then the rule of thumb would be reasonable (actually build out for 10% utilisation).
An important aspect to cover is the level of investment and effort involved in network planning.  Many telecomms companies have large departments devoted to it.  
Finally, the aspect of radio network planning which is related, should be linked to.  
Again, I'd like to say that this page is probably a valuable contribution, if I am right that no other page duplicates it, and should be kept.  twin africa--213.55.67.53 (talk) 12:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Objectivist epistemology

message: These two paragraphs seem to contradict each other:
It is also an error to identify a concept too fully with one of its referents, i.e., to fail to generalize properly. In the Objectivist view, one who is thus "concrete-bound" (i.e. whose thinking is fixed at the level of concrete entities) is unable to use concepts properly. To be concrete-bound is to fail to achieve a fully conceptual consciousness.
Many contemporary philosophers claim that, while the proposition "1 + 1 = 2" is "necessary" because true in all possible realities, the proposition "the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1" is "contingent" because it is not constant across possible worlds. Objectivism would reply that the second proposition is just as "necessary" as the first: if the atomic mass differed, the substance in question would not be hydrogen.
Specifically, Objectivism seems to be “concrete-bound” with regard to the atomic mass of hydrogen.  I’m not criticizing Objectivism, but rather pointing out that the article in my opinion fails to address this contradiction (or apparent contradiction), leaving me wondering which part I have failed to understand. — Daniel Brockman 06:01, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Goliad, Texas

message: Greetings editors and contributors.
I only visited Goliad once in 2009. While there I saw the Goliad Hanging Tree. I was surprised when I came here after reading Rich Frishman's "Ghosts of Segregation" photo essay to find the tree is not mentioned at all.
The tree is in courthouse square in the middle of town. Nearest street address is 184 N. Courthouse Square, Goliad, TX 77963. It has an official State of Texas historic marker, seen in these Flickr creative commons images.
Can I suggest the following changes.
1. Move the Texas mile text from attractions to history after the 1902 Tornado section.
2. Add the hanging tree with suitable/acceptable reference to the attractions section and a brief description.
3. Source a picture of the tree and add it to the gallery.

Others don't seem to be requests to clarify statements, but attempts to nitpick on specifics of the content found on the site mentioned in this article, as "Most columns cover gamemasters offering advice on running roleplaying games to other gamemasters, but there is some variety". What sort of ref would validate such statement except for a direct link to the site's content? That would be a pointless self-reference.
