Talk:World Hypotheses

message: I added this category because the point of this particular book is understanding world views, which go to the heart of ontological questions.  In other words, Pepper attempts to explain ontology through the use of his 'world views.'  I'm not sure why ontology would be removed.  In fact, some argue that metaphysics and ontology are roughly the same thing; to add one and remove the other seems contradictory. Briholt 01:35, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you read WP:CAT#Some general guidelines, you will see that pages are not usually put both in a subcategory and in a parent category. WPProject Philosophy doesn't keep to this rule for major pages, and there are obviously exceptions to it. To answer the question: The reason that I took it out of cat:ontology when I put it in cat:metaphysics lit is that the latter cat puts it in cat:metaphysics, and from what you have written that is what the book is about. If you think it is important that the article be included in cat:ontology, which is a sub-cat of cat:metaphysics, as well as in cat:metaphysics through being in cat:metaphysics lit, then just revert my revert.Anarchia 04:25, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Telegraph Agency of Communications and Report 

message: According to this article, ITAR-TASS's organizing committee has approved a change in the agency's name back to TASS, pending government approval. Confusingly, the article doesn't mention «Телеграфное агентство связи и сообщения», only «Телеграфное агентство Советского Союза». I'm not sure how the agency could be the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union when there's no Soviet Union, but that's what the article says. I'll leave the edit to someone better informed than I am (and/or whose Russian is less rusty). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:06, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:L'Ingénu

message: Hello I just wrote a huge part of the Article on L'Ingénu by Voltaire, but I need a real expert to tell me if I should create a page about Voltaire's Conte Phisolophique genre because it is considered a genre in France and French literature.
This article should be either deleted or re-written completely. Apart from the subjectivity, childish writing style and lack of substance, the article also contains an incredible number of errors considering it's brevity. I'm no expert on the subject myself, but having read the book and studied French history it's obvious that this is article is as likely to misinform or confuse as it is to educate. As an example, there was no French Police force at the time of this book's publication (I believe that came nearly 200 years later, and even the Gendarmerie was decades away), and censorship was the prerogative of the monarchy.
There may well be some valid points in the article, but the author(s) seems far from reliable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.46.192.167 (talk) 22:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Its better to rename this article as "The heart of the Chechnya". Officially its name is it, its just something like dedicated to Ahmad Kadirov. Nakh  12:15, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

message: While it is true that the mosque has an Ottoman style in that it closely resembles the iconic Hagia Sophia mosque in Istanbul, the caveat to that characterization is that Hagia Sophia was built in the 6th Century as a Christian cathedral which status it retained until 1453 when Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks. Thus it reflects a Byzantine style as well  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:ED12:D500:9D72:1590:5CC3:A407 (talk) 16:00, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Pavel Sukhoi

message: I noticed that a claim in the article that Sukhoi was a Deputy Member of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR had been tagged with a citation needed.  So, I thought this shouldn't be too hard, even though I don't speak, read, or write Russian.  After all, an English source would be readily available that's NOT sourced from Wikipedia or any of it's myriad, annoying clones, right? Wrong. After a lot of effort I finally found two sources in Russian (thanks to Google Books and Google Translate), and added them to the article since they're better than nothing.  But a few things still bother me.  
First, even the Google Translate version of the Russian wikipedia article has the 'Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR' claim as unsourced, and the Belarusian language version makes no mention of the Supreme Soviet at all, if the google translation is to be trusted.
Second, the sources I cited were Russian language books published in 2008 and 2009.  Could the authors have been influenced by a spurious claim in the Russian wikipedia (which may have been the source of the statement in the English article, or vice-versa?)  Ideally, a source that's pre-Wikipedia would be definitive, but I'm afraid I can't proceed any further than I have.  I've spent far longer on this than I thought I would!
The citations I added only include the briefest of snippets from the books (about a sentence or two); that's all Google Books offers if the search doesn't find an eBook version. I think there's just enough there to meet a bare minimum to qualify as a citation, but I can't tell if the Deputy claims in the books have been wiki-tainted or not.  Any comments are welcome, but I feel like I've reached a dead-end. Itsfullofstars (talk) 22:28, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Tush (ZZ Top song)

message: The title of this song appears to be deliberately enigmatic, inasmuch as ZZ Top are not Klezmer (i.e. not Yiddish).  When they offer "tush" as a rhyming pair for "much" (I ain't asking for much...) they want you to hear "touch," even though hearing "touch" is reported as a misheard lyric.  "Touch" is a prison word for sexual contact.  "Tush" pronounced as "touch" is code intended to front as an innocent reference to "bottom" while evoking desire apropos of the bluesy notes bending on the guitar.  As Chico Marx might have said, I don't like it innuendo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.15.171.107 (talk) 05:37, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
