message: No, a faculty is not an institution, it is a branch of an institution. An institution is "an established organization or corporation (such as a bank or university)" per Merriam-Webster. A "faculty of law" is not a proper name, as many universities have a faculty of law. It can be made into a proper name if it is presented as "Pompous University Faculty of Law", but that's not what I made into lower case. The Washington Post commonly uses lower case: "Alan Stone of Harvard University's faculty of law and medicine." Also, you took the apostrophe out of "master's thesis" without explaining why. Chris the speller yack 13:59, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Chris the speller these places like the Faculty of Political Science in Sarajevo are habitually spelled exactly like that in the English Wikipedia because they do in fact function not as mere branches but as institutions themselves; in any event I don't think it's proper to start lowercasing references to them without amending the articles themselves first. --Joy (talk) 17:24, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that "Faculty of Xxx in Yyy" is used as something like a proper name only in a couple of universities in Serbia and Bosnia. If they are meant to be treated as a proper name, then you could slap a "Proper name" template around them. That would take care of two of these cases, but "Sarajevo University's faculty of political science" and "Belgrade University's faculty of law" would still take lower case, as they are not the full name of the (pseudo) institution, per MOS:INSTITUTIONS.

thread_title:  A start, but more work needed 

message: From reading old documents,  it is clear that the words "town centre" had a meaning which is different to the plain english meaning.  The Belconnen or Woden "town centre" originally appears to have meant the whole of those districts (including their suburbs) rather than just the central administrative/commercial parts.  Yet in this description of the "suburbs of canberra",  it seems to be used in its plain english sense.
This is apparent,  in the descriptions of the ACT legislature electorates,  for example,  the Brindabella electorate was described as containing the "town centre" of Tuggeranong.  In fact is contains "all" of Tuggeranong,  so I changed it to read "the town centre and suburbs of Tuggeranong".
Is there a current "official" meaning of the phrase "town centre" in Canberra ?  Does the Tuggeranong or Belconnen "town centre" still actually mean the whole of those districts ?  Or does it now just mean the central part according to the normal plain english meaning ?  If so,  it should be used consistently.Eregli bob (talk) 06:18, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No I don't think that the "town centre" meaning has changed, it still applies just to the shopping or central precinct. Early on I heard these called satellite cities, but not for the last 30 years. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:28, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If you read the old documents,  it is clear that "town centre" actually refered to the whole of each of Canberra's satellite districts.  Which is a rather odd meaning,  but 50 years ago thats what they used.Eregli bob (talk) 10:21, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

text: And the person who previously wrote that the Gininderra electorate comprises the town centre of Belconnen, plus one suburb of Gungahlin,   was obviously using that old meaning,  otherwise it doesn't make sense.Eregli bob (talk) 10:23, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I believe that the mention to the "Final Battle" with Melkor is not in complete agreement with the last versions of the Silmarillion, since The Second Prophecy of Mandos was rendered apparently as non-existant after the publishing of the Silmarillion. I believe there's better reference to that on one of the History of Middle-Earth volumes, i just can't remember which one.
— Jamilkender 13:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In HoME X, Morgoth's Ring, Christopher Tolkien notes a passage which says (in part) that 'the Dooms of Mandos do not foretell whether the Marring of Arda shall be amended'. He used this as the end of the QS in the published Silm because he took it as an indication that both the prophecy and the final battle had been removed from the mythology. However, he then noted that in later texts his father continued to make reference to the final battle... and even wrote a new version of it (wherein Beren also returns from death for the final fight against Morgoth). Thus, there is no real evidence that the 'Final Battle' was removed... but Mandos's foretelling of its outcome may have been. --CBDunkerson 18:31, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cosmology (metaphysics)

message: Last statement in Atheistic cosmologies hides an extraordinarily non-WP POVvy attitude behind seemingly neutral formulations:
:atheism is weakly associated with nihilism which is an antithesis to cosmology or properly with teleology in its rejection of meaning and value.
sounds neutral but is a piece of sh*t (the formulator should be ashamed, indeed!), because it proceeds followingly:
:atheism -->1 nihilism -->2 (not cosmology) and (not teleology)
Let's just ignore teleology which is generally impopular and not used, except in some cases in evolution biology, but then not expressed as "teleology". First implication says atheism --> nihilism weakly, which is not true unless one have the preconception that values aren't derived from the existence, but given by some supernatural force. Nihilism is some explicit rejection of all values, so the association of atheism with nihilism seems very far fetched, and actually malintended, especially considering that most non-religious ethicans adher to some kind of natural values or evolutionary derived values. The implication nihilism --> not cosmology seems to be an error. I cannot understand what the writer thought. I actually don't understand nihilism, I was an atheist and I am religious now, but I remember having as much moral pathos before as afterward so called "conversion". ... said: Rursus (bork²) 15:17, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: POVvyness

message: The assertion that Tolkien's universe is dualist is false.  Melkor was one of many "Ainur" (basically an angel) created by Eru.  In the first chapter of the book, Eru proposes his "themes" to the Ainur and they play a sort of symphony based on the themes.  Melkor does his best to subvert Eru's themes and tries to throw the song into Chaos: but as it happens, the other Ainur play in such a way that Melkor's cacophony is woven back into the fabric of the song, and his attempts to subvert the themes only ends up reinforcing them.  And the Eru creates the universe, and says it's history will unfold as a reflection of their music.  So basically, Tolkein's universe is just a slight variation on the Christian view of theology, which is not surprising as he was a devoted Catholic.  You can listen to the first chapter of the Silmarillion at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRFGz-3hhIU if you need to check this.  Corbmobile (talk) 01:45, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Why is he called "Father" David Bauer?

message: Does anybody have any more info on the traumatic experiences that Bauer had?
The first paragraph reads: "He was offered a playing contract by the Boston Bruins at age 15, but declined on the advice of his father to complete a proper education. The experience was traumatic for Bauer, who then committed himself to look for more meaning in life and play a role in world peace."  But it's not clear what experience was traumatic: being offered the contract? taking his father's advice? completing his education?
A later paragraph places his traumatic experiences at professional training camp.  It includes a quote from Bauer about his early commitment to world peace, but the quote does not link that commitment to the trauma.

Leading members of the Northern League included the premier Nazi race scientist Hans Günther, who continued his work in the postwar period under a pseudonym.

message: I added President Manuel Roxas to the list of Quezon Service Cross recipients considering that he was posthumously awarded by Pres.

Garcia to Mrs. Trinidad L. Roxas, the widow of President Roxas. However, an editor reversed my edit and called it "unverifiable/dubious" despite the fact that I checked the physical copy of the Official Gazette and not the online version which contains so many errors.  Do editors not rely on physical copies of the Gazette anymore? This is highly irresponsible. Justinadriel (talk) 06:59, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Since the physical OG is a primary source, I submit that there is no need for additional "reliable" sources. If Inquirer, PNA, or other online sources do not list Roxas, that says a lot about the quality of their research.
