Talk:Chiquita

message: "In 1903, United Fruit Company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and became the first company to use refrigeration during open sea transport."
According to the German Wikipedia, the first refrigerated sea transport was carried out by Hapag! The UFC only operated vessels of this type from 1908 onwards!
"Die klimatisierten Hapagschiffe der Prinzen-Klasse mit hervorragend ausgestatteten Passagiereinrichtungen für 100 Passagiere der 1. Klasse wurden das Vorbild der zwölf Schiffe der „5000 Ton Class“ (ebenfalls für 100 Passagiere) der United Fruit Company, die von Workman, Clark & Co ab 1908 in Belfast gebaut wurden."

:Cold War era anti-Communist witch-hunts.
It is biased towards the idea that anti-Communism was nothing more than a witch hunt:
* a campaign against a fictious enemy; or,
* a campaign against people who are falsely portrayed as having evil powers or motives
Better to say that some historians viewed the Cold War in terms of selfish or corrupt demagogues unfairly stigmatizing innocent political activists. --Uncle Ed 16:05, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Type-in program

message: I remember a lot of magazines (well, the Amstrad CPC ones anyway) often had a "10-line type-in" section, consisting of short (10-line or less) type-in programs, usually reader-submitted, in addition to the longer ones.  Presumably the idea was to have some short, easy to type programs.  In practice, they were often very long programs squashed into 10 lines, making them harder to type out and encouraging bad programing habits.  In particual I remember one (actually quite fun game, once you got it working) that consisted of 5 lines of as much code as Locomotive BASIC would let you fit in one line, followed by 5 massive lines of machine code.  (Still, that wasn't as bad as a type-in I found in a French CPC mag, that consisted of several pages of machine code).  Were these "10-liner" type-ins notable (and citable) enough to be mentioned here? Wardog (talk) 09:21, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

message: If I recall correctly, and I may not, when Micro User magazine introduced checksums and the program to generate them, they listed a short BASIC program to generate them (but didn't list the checksums for it, since they were no use without a working program to generate them). They also listed a longer assembler checksum program, with checksums - so users could type in the simple BASIC program to generate the checksums for the longer, more-tedious-to-type but much faster assembler version.

replies: text: I think far too much has ben removed. The intro should properly summarize the topic at hand, to where one doesn't necessarily have to read the (on the long side) article to get the general gist of who or what it is about. The old intro also had the misfortune of having a poor tone (While Stax almost exclusively produced African-American music, the label is noted for having several popular ethnically-integrated bands." is a very problematic sentence),  At three paragraphs (one of which is rather short), the new intro properly sets up the article, and explain the important points of what Stax was, who was primarily involved with it, and why they are important enough to have an article. --70.119.13.45 (talk) 22:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

: The new movements look up to ... Swami Vivekananda; ... Paramhansa Yogananda; Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, although sometimes labeled as being of Hindu origin, does not pertain to or propagate any form of Hinduism
I am removing this as an unreferenced and likely spurious claim. There are several Hindu movements (the Hare Krishnas as a notable example), whose founders have at times strongly claimed separation from Hinduism for whatever reasons, while for all practical purposes the movements follow Hindu practices and adhere to Hindu beliefs, and are more than happy to ride on the Hindu wagon wherever it advances their interests. In this case, there isn't even a reference to an official Ananda Marga position vis-a-vis Hinduism, so I see no reason to clutter the list. —Baba Bom (talk) 21:36, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Calico definition 

message: Specifically, the Commonwealth side. "Muslin gauze" is defined simply as "Muslin", and "Cheesecloth" as "Gauze". Right. Because that's so helpful in telling us what meaning the terms are actually meant to convey?
I would suppose whoever wrote it (or altered it to read this way) may have meant to relate the CW terms to the US ones - IE, "Cheesecloth" in the UK means the same as "Gauze" in the United States - but if that's an accurate guess, the meaning isn't actually clear in the text, and it's still a poor way of laying it out even vs just copying and pasting the US "Gauze" definition into the CW "Cheesecloth" line. Plus it also adds a needlessly Americocentric bias to a global resource.
Can someone with a decent knowledge of fabrics clarify for us? Because I came here to find out which was which, so I am unable to actually contribute a meaningful fix :( 193.63.174.211 (talk) 14:56, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

As much as I'd like to add a photo, thanks to international copyright treaties such as the Convention of Berne, copyrights extends until 70 years (or more, 90 years in the USA) after the death of a person. So, no, copyright remains an issue. IMO, it is a silly law, but unless some Japanese fan contributes an image he made himself as a live concert or such, we're out of luck, I guess.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beoran (talk • contribs) 19:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Prosimian

message: Perhaps I am a cladistics geek, but I have a problem with things I come across in Wikipedia that read like "Prosimians are the most ancestral extant primates; they represent forms that were ancestral to monkeys, apes and humans." In general I find a lot of taxonomy that isn't informed by a phylogenetic approach to encourage misunderstandings of evolution (and biology doesn't make much sense when evolutionary concepts aren't grasped) and frequently introduce teleological thinking in which we have "higher" organisms and supposedly "primitive" ones that in reality are not ancestral to the "higher" taxa. For example, it is not true to say that lorises are ancestral to apes. While it may be true that the common ancestor of both had more in common with a loris because apes and their ancestors accumulated more derived characteristics over the years, the lorises and other prosimians have of course been evolving and radiating ever since too and have derived plenty of characterisics of their own. It's this kind of thinking that has people coming out with erroneous stuff like "humans evolved from chimpanzees" instead of appreciating that both evolved from a common ancestor no longer with us.  79.68.223.68 (talk) 19:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
