Talk:Fourier complex

message: I think this article as it is currently written misunderstands the chapter in the book "Liberalism".
Ludwig von Mises is saying that there are several psychological conditions that might cause a person to disagree with the ideas of liberalism.
One psychological condition (what this article currently talks about) is that the person may resent the upper class so much that they wish for equality even if everyone ends up worse off.  Mises says that it is possible to reason with these people, and convince them that making everyone better off is more important than eliminating inequality.
A separate psychological condition, which is the one that Mises actually calls the Fourier Complex, is that the person might believe that they have ideas about how society should be reorganized, and the person genuinely believes that these ideas will make society better off, but they are simply wrong, and what they believe contradicts reason and experience.  People may resort to this utopian fantasy because they have experienced minor setbacks in life.
Did this term "Fourier Complex" ever catch on?  Or does it only appear in this one chapter of this one book by Mises?

replies: text: To answer this question five years later, the answer is unequivocally "no". The only references I can find to it anywhere online are merely from people summarizing or analyzing Mises's work. It's really not anything more than a way for Mises to attack 1) a belief he doesn't like (a man thinking he will be happier if he makes himself worse off in the process of bringing an enemy down with him) by labeling it a form of insanity and 2) a political enemy (Charles Fourier) by attaching his name to mental disorder Mises just invented. It's no wonder it never went anywhere: it never did anything. I have redirected the article to the book that spawned it. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 16:56, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

message: Owing to the sale of WTWD to Solmart Media, which has replaced the WTBN simulcast with regional Mexican (which itself may or may not be itself a simulcast of new sister station WTMY), it's probably past time to give it a separate article.

Talk:Oenomaus of Gadara

message: I gave this page a little bit of a clean-up, dividing the article into sections, etc. But I removed two passages, which didn't make much sense to me, and seemed to count quite heavily as WP:OR. The first passage concerned the question as to whether Oenomaus is the same person as the Abnimos mentioned in Jewish sources:
Possibly, there may be a connection through the question (Ḥag. 15b) posed by Abnimos ha-Gardi concerning dyeing, if it can be accepted that there is a relevance to the statement in the Gospel of Philip 54"seventy-two+colors"+Levi&source=bl&ots=s Bart D. Ehrman : Lost Scriptures. Oxford University Press. p. 42 concerning the mingling of all the dye-colors to produce white: for all the colors in the rainbow are indicated in the name of the river Iris ('Rainbow') whose estuary was close by the isle of Ares, who was the father[Robert Graves : The Greek Myths. 1955. §109.b] of the mythic Oenomaus. Furthermore, the mention of "wool" in the question by Abnimos ha-Gardi may be an allusion (via /GDēRāh/ 'sheepcote'[Strong : Hebrew & Aramaic Dictionary of Bible Words.]) to /GaDaRa/.
I don't know if any textbooks make use of this argument. The argument seems to be that because Abnimos asked a question about dyeing, there's some sort of vague connection to Iris, who is vaguely connected to Ares who is connected to the mythic Oenomaus.
The second passage I removed was this one:
This historic Oinomaos of Gadara alludes to his namesake the legendary Oenomaus in his allegation that "An ass ... or a flea can be the First Cause"[Donald R. Dudley : A History of Cynicism. London : Methuen & Co., 1937. p. 169] : for 'ass' is the meaning of[Robert Graves : The Greek Myths. 1955. vol. 2, p. 386a] the name /Killos/[Robert Graves : The Greek Myths. 1955. §109.g] of the charioteer of the mythic Oinomaos; and 'flea' is the meaning of[Robert Graves : The Greek Myths. 1955. vol. 2, p. 407a] the name /Psullē/[Robert Graves : The Greek Myths. 1955. §109.d] of one of the mares of the mythic Oinomaos. It is likely that this Cynic philosopher adopted (as sobriquet) the name "Oinomaos" in order to complement the Paphlagonian birth-place of Diogenes; on the basis that the mythic character Pelops, who was king of[Robert Graves : The Greek Myths. 1955. §109.a] Paphlagonia, became son-in-law of the mythic Oinomaos.
Again, I can't find any textbooks (including Dudley's) which says that Oenomaus is actually alluding to a charioteer and a mare belonging to the mythic Oenomaus. Likewise, I can't find any textbooks which can back-up the claim that Oenomaeus chose his name "in order to complement the Paphlagonian birth-place of Diogenes."

Category talk:Feminine given names

message: Why is there a category for "Feminine Given Names" when there is NOT one for "Masculine Given Names"? This seems sexist to me. There is no reason to separate out Given Names by gender in an English speaking context, because there are no laws in English speaking countries that limit names by gender. Though most names are traditionally used almost exclusively for one gender, there are plenty of names which are used for both genders, and the list of such names is actually constantly expanding. It seems to me that it would be much better to have one category for "Given names" and to have the gender associations of each name discussed in each individual article about each individual name.

replies: text: There was already a :category:Masculine given names, but I can understand why you did not see it, as it was several pages further on.

message: The entry says "He appears to have died of tuberculosis in 1820" but without providing a source.

thread_title: Date of death

message: This section- "In Young Ireland: A Fragment of Irish History, 1840–1845. Final Revision, Charles Gavin Duffy claims that one of Daniel O'Connell's close allies during the Repeal movement – and his least reputable associate – was Eaton Stannard Barrett's "brother" Richard Barrett. Duffy writes that both Richard and Eaton were "Tory newspapermen" and that Richard converted to Repeal and consequently published Dublin's Repeal newspaper The Pilot. However, since Duffy characterizes all of the Repealers brought to the 1844 State Trials as being "in the flush of manhood" except for Thomas Steele and Daniel O'Connell, it seems unlikely that Eaton was Richard's brother – perhaps his father or a cousin or uncle?" - while citing Duffy, appears to be presenting his statement regarding the relationship between E. S. Barrett and Richard Barrett, then drawing a conclusion not contained within that text regarding the likelihood of this relationship, i.e. that Duffy was likely mistaken. Irrespective of the truth of the matter, an editor taking exception with Duffy is insufficient grounds to raise this question; if any other reliable published sources have addressed the issue of Duffy's potential misidentification, they ought to be cited. It doesn't appear Duffy was the source of this alleged relationship; see https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Compendium_of_Irish_Biography/Barrett,_Eaton_Stannard (this from 1877), also https://www.dib.ie/biography/barrett-eaton-stannard-a0402 and https://www.dib.ie/biography/barrett-richard-a0410 , which give the two men as born within a decade of each other.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.202.40 (talk) 02:46, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Pinewood Preparatory School

message: I tagged this as being like an advertisement for various reasons. First, instead of showing us that it is commited to the students' education, it tells us right from the beginning, using the word "we" is a very cheesy mission statement. This seems to be the work of someone who has an interest in bringing attention to the school. There are rather fishy statements such as "In order to enrich the communities we inhabit, our members strive to embrace challenges, cultivate global vision, seek knowledge, and love wisdom," and the article later has a list of colleges to which students gained acceptance. If the article was writted by a disinterested person, this would most likely not be included. There is subsequently a rather long exposition about the history of the school, which is also suspicious. More circumstantial evidence for this is that the infobox was made incorrectly, shoddy writing, formatting, and grammar, and an overly long introduction. This article violates NPOV by sounding like an advertisement. --Qmwne235 23:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Palestinian exodus from Kuwait (1990–91)

message: It was an exodus rather than an expulsion.  Half of Kuwait's 400,000 Palestinian population voluntarily fled Kuwait during the Gulf War due to harassment and intimidation by Iraqi soldiers, in addition to getting fired from work by Iraqi authority authorities. Thus 200,000 of the initial 400,0000 voluntarily fled and the remaining 200,0000 in Kuwait after the Gulf War were not expelled per se. Some of the 200,000 were deported, however the majority were pressured to leave due to economic burdens (such as, dismissal from work, the withdrawal of free education, free health care, subsidies and other benefits such - landowners raising rents for Palestinians).
Many sources identify it was an exodus, examples:
*

*  
*  
* Kuwait: Building the Rule of Law: Human Rights in Kuwait - page 35
There was a great exodus of Palestinians from Kuwait during July and August, partly attributable to fear of abusive actions by the Kuwaiti security forces, but also brought about by economic necessity.
