Template talk:Milwaukee Metropolitan Area

message: Wondering at what point the decision was made to list Racine County here. According to the census bureau, Racine County is part of the Racine metro area, not the Milwaukee one. It is part of the Milwaukee combined statistical area, but so are several other bordering counties which are not listed here. Regardless of one's feelings about the definition of metro Milwaukee, this is an encyclopedia and we are to use the census bureau definitions. This template should be updated in one of two ways:
* Remove Racine County, leave title unchanged
* Add Walworth, Dodge, and Jefferson, and change title to "Milwaukee combined statistical area"
Thoughts?

thread_title:  Cited in a video game 

message: In the lede it says The Ordeal of Change was his favourite work, with a reference that's not really a reference.  Wikiquote cites his journal as saying:
"In all my life I never competed for fortune, for a woman, or for fame. I learned to write in total isolation. My first work was also my best, and the first thing published. I never belonged to a circle or clique. I did not know I was writing a book until it was written. When my first book was published there was no one near me, an acquaintance let alone a friend, to congratulate me. I have never savored triumph, never won a race."
Entry (1981)
Should that be fixed, given that that's an actual source, by his own hand, not a poor and obscure citation of a source that cannot be checked?

message: His birth date is given as 1898, but there are several sources that give contradictory information. The 1940 Census, which is cited in the "Early Life" section actually gives 1899, but it is being used to source a year of 1898. 
Furthermore, the article written on the Hoover Institute website states that there are no records to confirm his birth date. It ranges from 1898 to 1902, but they state it is most likely that he was born in 1898.Hoover Institution. Eric Hoffer, Genius—And Enigma, Excerpted from Eric Hoffer: The Longshoreman Philosopher, by Tom Bethell (Hoover Press, 2012).. This would be a better reference for the birth date stated in the introductory portion of his article than the Encyclopedia Brittanica article that gives 1902: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Eric-Hoffer.

 In psychology, the term mental models is sometimes used to refer to mental representations or mental simulation generally.

At other times it is used to refer to  and to the mental model theory of reasoning developed by Philip Johnson-Laird and Ruth M.J. Byrne.

Talk:Cerdic of Wessex

message: I re-added my rendition of the attributed coat of arms for Cerdic of Wessex, with the compromise that it be further down on the page, after it was removed with no discussion. I thusly decided to open a Talk section, as suggested by the other user, to discuss concerns over whether or not the attributed arms should be allowed on the page; as of currently, I reverted the edit removing it, with the arms at the bottom of the page. The reason why I added the arms was because said arms, which are also considered anachronistic - as medieval heraldry did not exist at the time Cerdic of Wessex lived - are not only depicted in the main image for the page, but attributed and anachronistic arms were allowed on the page for House of Wessex, to which Cerdic of Wessex is also assigned. By the same logic of "no attributed or anachronistic arms are allowed", the main images for Cerdic of Wessex and House_of_Wessex#Attributed_coat_of_arms would need to be removed. I also did specify in my original contributon to the page that the arms were attributed by John Speed to Cerdic of Wessex, rather than the arms being self-assumed by Cerdic. Obversa (talk) 19:45, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: While subjects like Cerdic have few if any contemporary images available, so that the use of much later images is unavoidable, heraldry is a rather unique case. There has to be an especially cogent reason for the use of anachronistic heraldry, the mere existence of an attributed coat of arms is not really sufficient. Take for example the arms attributed to Edward the Confessor, there are two reasons that these are relevant, they are based on a design of silver pennies minted during the reign of this king and they were made use of by much later Medieval kings of England. One of the banners that King Henry V had close to him at the Battle of Agincourt was that showing the arms of the Confessor. In general, the consensus of Wikipedia editors working on Early Medieval subjects is against the use of anachronistic heraldry. Urselius (talk) 07:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
