There is a quotation of Victor J. Katz here that comes out longer than the entire footnotes section, and rivals the length of the prose in some of the article body sections.  This seems to be over-quotation.  It appears that, once again, ethnicity arguments have taken precedence over good writing of free content.  Uncle G (talk) 08:43, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Phone (phonetics)

message: The article says that changing between allophones within a phoneme never changes meaning, but the example given is aspirated vs unaspirated voiceless bilabial plosives, as in spun vs pun or spin vs pin. But if you pronounce pun without aspiration, then it would certainly be interpreted as bun, and pin as bin, so that's not really true. It's fair to say that pun and spun only share a phoneme in theory and spun actually shares a phoneme with bun. Is there a better example? 2607:EA00:107:3C07:340A:DC68:FBB5:8064 (talk) 16:37, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Since 7 October 2023 conflict, the Christian community in Gaza has been suffering immense losses. The world'third  oldest known church has been bombed by Israeli army . A mother and with her daughter that were sheltering in a church were shot dead by Israeli army snipers. The Pope has made a public speech condemning these atrocities and agreed that they appear to be terrorist acts carries put by the current occupation i.e. Israel. 
The Palestinian Christian Orthodox community leaders have made official calls on media platforms pledging for worldwide support and prayers in the wake of the recent shooting and arrests in West Banks as well as the ongoing en masse indiscriminate killing of over 20 thousand civillians in Gaza many of them being children and infants ,women and elderly.The exact number of Christians killed in Gaza is unknown as the international call for immediate ceasefire continues. At this moment in time USA has been the only nation voting against ceasefire at the United Nations urgent assembly.  As the Christmas approached many were hoping that this would be the moment the ceasefire would come into place. Unfortunately it hasn't been the case. On Christmas Day ,speaking from the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica to the throngs of people below, Francis said he grieved the "abominable attack" of Hamas against southern Israel on Oct. 7 and called for the release of hostages. And he begged for an end to Israel's military campaign in Gaza and the "appalling harvest of innocent civilians" as he called for humanitarian aid to reach those in need.
Francis devoted his Christmas Day blessing to a call for peace in the world, noting that the biblical story of the birth of Christ in Bethlehem sent a message of peace. But he said that Bethlehem "is a place of sorrow and silence" this year. 86.6.205.173 (talk) 23:12, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

The Pearl is unique to the canonical text and is merely a copy in Thomas.

message: The lead on this article is too long. To be more readable to a wider audience, it should be shorter.
I caution anyone against putting a simple "lead too long" template on the article (Template:Lead too long), because it will show the message at the top of the article to all readers, whether or not they have the ability or desire to change the article. However, here on the talk page this message may be more signal and less noise.

thread_title:  Lead too long 

message: Hey everyone,
Would it be helpful to place more emphasis on why one would use quantum computing from the get go rather than starting from a hardware perspective? 
The current beginning talks about the use of quantum computing in terms of quantum devices being operated but I would argue that the entire existence of quantum computing though is due to using quantum mechanics to better solve scalability problems that classical algorithms cannot manage. 
From what I understand , if I were a reader, I would also risk "putting the word quantum in front of everything." Would it be fair to say this?  
I am not sure if people agree with me on this. Thoughts?  Erdabravest (talk) 00:56, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

message: I'm guessing that people connected to many college and universities embrace the colloquial "quad". I know for a fact that any of the roughly 30,000 current students and all alumni of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign use that term. The phrase "especially at Oxford University" is misleading because it suggests that "quad" is commonly used at Oxford at a rate above other unviersities.

message: I have reverted bad sources (fail WP:MEDRS) and unsourced comments.
E.g.  is unsourced. And even if it could be sourced, I highly doubt that it is true (mysticism played no role in my formal education; yup, I had studied Western esotericism, but the university made no compulsion to actually believe it, it was an analytical-empirical study, not a mystical one). E.g. Bart Ehrman is a Bible professor and studies the Bible very deeply, but he does not believe in the Bible; his study of the Bible is not mysticism. The Communist ideology which ruled Romania when I grew up was hogwash, but it wasn't mystical hogwash. tgeorgescu (talk)  20:54, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revert 

message: I was surprised to learn today that the Tao Te Ching mentions Qi three times, in chapters 10, 42, and 55. This is probably worth including in the "Philosophical roots" section. My understanding is that the usages here tend to refer more literally to "breath" but the more mystical meanings were beginning to emerge at the time too. Michael LaFargue in his translation writes: "Although ch'i was beginning to be used by some as a technical theoretical term, I believe that in the Mencius and the Tao Te Ching it is still an unsystematized term of folk psychology, similar in use to words like feelings in colloquial English" (pg 222). LaFargue is not an expert, but on this claim he does cite A.C. Graham, Disputers of the Tao, pages 351-354. I can't verify this citation myself.
All that's to say, if anyone has some quality sources shedding light on this, it would be a great addition to the "Philosophical roots" section.

Talk:Crossbow bolt

message: This version of the article makes the following claim:
Bolts fall at the same rate, independent of the speed of flight. Arrows, in contrast, depend on gaining lift in flight...
Is there a good reference to cite for this claim?    To have lift, you need an airfoil, but the fletching article makes it clear that the fletchings are there only to "stabilize the arrow in flight" (ie., they are not wings).  There is no mention of "lift" in the arrow article. Wikiscient 17:31, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Do less-lethal bolts exist (ie without a point), according to http://www.instructables.com/id/mini-ninja-crossbow/ that would make the bolt fly less straight, but by using a different point material or redesigning the bolt (ie more into a mace-shape or something) this problem could be eliminated.

message: Should their be mention of the two initial nominees- both Bork and Ginsburg- to fill the seat vacated by Lewis Powell underneath the heading 'Supreme Court Appointments'? The vacancy was one of the more contentious of the time and the nomination and rejection of Bork still holds a lot of weight in some circles today. Given that, there should probably be some mention of their nominations and their respective lack of confirmations before Justice Kennedy was ultimately confirmed.

message: In the immediate aftermath of Rush Limbaugh's death, content creator Tommy Marcus posted a screen shot to social media of an $100 donation to Planned Parenthood in memory of Rush Limbaugh. Tommy Marcus, better know by his instagram handle Quentin.Quarantino, was able to successfully crowdsource over $1.2M in charitable donations to Planned Parenthood in Rush Limbaugh's Memory through Instagrams fundraising platform. This posthumous philanthropy in Limbaugh's honor is largely seen as tongue-in-cheek given Limbaugh's highly conservative views on abortion and the satirical nature of Quentin.Quarantino's social media presence.
