Talk:Joel Furr

message: The article currently credits Eugene Spafford with the parody of the Golden Rule: "them that has the gold makes the rules."  Surely this parody predates Spafford, doesn't it?  Unfortunately, I can't find it in Bartlett's, Brewer's, or similar references.  Does anyone have a reference crediting it either to Spafford or to some earlier source?

Talk:Lists of schools in Malaysia

message: I'm thinking of creating a school list page for every state. that way, for every page, we can further categorize them into Primary, secondary, and national, private, etc. You think that's wise?Zack2007 16:09, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Splitting of article 

message: As seen in the article, the sectioned lists of schools in Labuan and Putrajaya are too short to be made another article. I wouldn't recommend these two lists to remain in this soon-to-be navigating page too.
I'm just thinking: perhaps, we can move these two sections to Labuan and Putrajaya articles respectively, and add the section links here to lead readers to the correct locations, just like what we are to do to the other states. — Yurei-eggtart 05:20, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I didn't see this comment until after I'd completed the split. I suggest you just expand these lists until they are large enough.

replies: text: You'd be hardpressed to find a modern polymer physics textbook that doesn't include extensive analysis of the molecular statistics of polymers. It's likely that polymer science is referring (albeit vaguely) to the bulk quantities that can be derived from statistical physics. I will edit the article to clarify this point.

The criteria for inclusion on this page should be clearly defined and then the researchers assessed for inclusion based on that defined criteria.  There are literally tens of thousands of 'AI Researchers' - should they all be listed?  The current list is all over the map in terms of importance to AI.  Some of the entries read autobiographically.  The criteria could be along the lines of winners of a prestigious award in the field of AI.
