replies: text: Unequivocally yes!!!

Check out matrix!! Totally absurd. Footlessmouse (talk) 19:18, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

text: From my reading of our DAB policy, due to the overwhelming historical and educational significance of one of the topics (physics) over all the others requires that the page "Elasticity" be the physics topic, while a hatnote differentiates it from the other common topic, "economics" and a second hat note points to the DAB page for "other uses". There is a clear primary topic and only one other significant alternative, so the hat notes are what policy say should be used here. Footlessmouse (talk) 19:35, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Teradata

message: Hello again. I have a final (at least for now!) request for improving this Wikipedia article, which I am submitting on behalf of my employer. Currently the first sentence says, "Teradata Corporation is a provider of database-related products and services." Since the article has been updated based on above requests, I'd like to propose changing the first sentence to: "Teradata Corporation is a provider of database and analytics-related products and services." This more accurately describes the company.  You have helped with several requests, so I'm wondering if you agree with this proposed change based on the improvements you've already made. Thanks again for your continued help.  Dodds_Writer (Talk · Disclosure: Employee of Teradata) 22:15, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

message: As one of the purposes in maintaining databases is for analysis of data stored within them, it stands to reason that analytics would be a normal and expected companion term for a company already responsible for database services, so I've added that word to the lead. Additionally, I would like to place a Wikilink for the word analytics, but there are several instances of it in Wikipedia. If you could take a look at this analytics disambiguation list and let me know which form of analytics would best be used for that Wikilink, I would appreciate it.

thread_title:  Morals vs. Ethics 

message: The French word for "mores" is "mœurs". This is one of the very few rare words in French which change gender with number (singular is masculine, plural is feminine). It is almost exclusively employed in the plural.

message: A taboo is not necessarily something that a culture finds wrong, but something it finds repulsive. In American society, I regret to admit that murder or rape are no longer taboos. It's not repulsive anymore because it's just so common that people have grown complacent with it all.
Are you completely morally retarded or just ignorant? To say that rape and murder aren’t taboo is completely ridiculous. In case you haven’t noticed people seem to get arrested for that AND upstanding members of society look down on it to say the least. Maybe in the hole you crawled out of murder, rape, and incest are socially acceptable, but in the rest of America all three are completely morally reprehensible, and so are your pessimistic comments.

thread_title:  Singular form? 

message: The article seems to suggest that MORES was invented by a US sociologist and by the way it's also a latin word. 
I think the abstract should say that mores is a latin word which means "habits" (good or bad). Morality/ethos comes after this, as "good habit".

text: It certainly needs improving. The article makes no mention of the battle of Delium, a turning point in the war. And it says 300-400 Spartan hoplites were taken prisoner at Sphacteria - I believe it was more like 120 Spartiates and the rest were allied hoplites.

Talk:Feersum Endjinn

message: While it's safe to say there are no direct references to the Culture in this book, I think you can interpret as being set on Earth after the Culture has departed, and that the Feersum Endjinn itself was perhaps constructed by the Culture/Minds in anticipation of the coming Encroachment. I'd go as far as to say that's what the book is implying, even though it doesn't call out the Culture directly.

Talk:Marsaxlokk

message: A few questions:
(a) Is the poster Alexei Pace? (We need to be clear on copyright.) Related to that, Wikipedia articles aren't signed, so I've removed the signature from the main page. "
by Alexei Pace, architect & civil engineer, Marsaxlokk, MALTA."
(b) Can you (anyone) confirm that date for Phoenician settlement: this isn't my period, but ninth century seems late.
(c) There are two image captions, and no image. The second, which also needs translating into English.
"One can here admire the small fishing craft, the 'Luzzu' and 'Kajikk' painted in vivid colours of red, yellow, green and blue, floating lightly on the calm waters of the bay."
"C'est dans cette "baie du sirocco" (Xlokk), que débarquèrent les premiers Phéniciens pour installer, au IXème siècle avant J-C, des comptoirs sur l'île. Au cours du Grand Siège, Marsaxlokk servit également de mouillage à la flotte turque." Vicki Rosenzweig 12:47 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Discussion with Maltese friends suggests that the name Marsaxlokk is of Italian derivation, marsa is harbour, and xlokk is the Maltese version of sirocco. Since it is open to the south east, the derivation seems to be "harbour vulnerable to the sirocco"  rather than the one given. I do not qualify as authoratitive though... --Shoka 23:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Spice Girls

message: I asked this before but it got archived with no responses.
Indeed, the other five are well-known as the Spice Girls. But the fact that Stephenson advanced out of the auditions, was a member of Touch, performed live, and recorded/lived with the group for under a year means that she was, technically, a former member. Touch and Spice Girls are different names, but they both fall under the same umbrella.
Other examples on Wiki, of members that are listed as former yet the band name was different: Faith No More (Mike Morris/Wade Worthington in Faith No Man), Our Lady Peace (Paul Martin/Jim Newell in As If), Sevendust (Lee Banks in Rumblefish), Cypress Hill (Mellow Man Ace in DVX), The Offspring (Jim Benton/Marcus Parrish/Doug Thompson in Manic Subsidal), Insane Clown Posse (Kid Villain/D-Lyrical in Inner City Posse), Godsmack (Lee Richards in The Scam), All Saints (Simone Rainford in All Saints 1.9.7.5), New Kids on the Block (Mark Wahlberg/Jamie Kelly in Nynuk), Beastie Boys (Jeremy Shatan in The Young Aborigines). Xanarki (talk) 02:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Part II: Shouldn't Michelle Stephenson be listed under Former Members? 

message: The most commercially successful British pop act since the Beatles? That seems like a large claim when their album sales are dwarfed by the Rolling Stones who have sold over 250 million albums so far in their career (vs the Spice Girls' ~100m),  hold the all-time most top-10 albums (38) in the US, and currently hold two of the top 10 best-selling tours of all time (in 2007 they held 4).
I will give it to the Spice Girls that they are perhaps among the top successful British artists but they are definitely not at the top unless the category is drawn in such a way so as to exclude the Stones yet still include British artists, but that argument would sort of fall a bit flat as it is a comparison to the Beatles and the Stones are probably the closest comparison to the Beatles out there historically...and they're both British. There is a reason that the Stones are considered the highest-grossing live music act (as of 2022) by both Billboard and Pollstar.
As per the above, I am going to go ahead and modify that phrasing to list them as among but not the. TheSandDoctor Talk 03:39, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that you are missing the point on chronology. The Rolling Stones were founded in 1962. They were contemporaries and competitors to The Beatles (1960-1970), not successors or members of a new generation of musicians. Dimadick (talk) 08:26, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
