Talk:Synesthesia in literature

message: I noticed that "Morgan, N. (2003). Mondays are Red. New York: Delacorte" was added to the "Synesthesia in Teenage/children's fiction" area.  I am wondering if we want to include this book.  Having read the book myself, I was severely disappointed in that the book depicts a totally inaccurate, fantasy/superhero type idea of synesthesia, with little at all based upon actual synesthesia -- which, I found, very usual, considering that the author's daughter is a synesthete.  However, upon corresponding with N. Morgan, she stated that her intention was for "artistic liscense" to create a children's story, not to depict synesthesia accurately.  I also remember that, when this book came out, there was a good degree of talk amongst members of The Synesthesia List as to how disappointed they were with this books depiction of synesthesia.  In my opinion, while synesthesia is indeed mentioned in this novel, it is not correct to say that this book actually deals with a character who has synesthesia.--Sean A. Day 15:13, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Sean, Good point.  I included these books at Pat Duffy's suggestion, and I believe she has a bigger agenda here, which is to critically discuss these works.  For now, I've only created a list, which can serve as a stub for Pat to work from, but perhaps it's worth mentioning it now that this is not necessarily an accurate depiction of synesthesia?  There are still a few minor things that also need to be done, like ISBNs and so on for all the books, but I had sort of envisaged this as Pat's baby, and I am just serving as a technical midwife, if you will.

Talk:Birdstrike simulator

message: This was a curiosity. The article used to say that a birdstrike simulator used an actual chicken to strike an actual airframe or canopy, etc. THAT IS BETTER KNOWN AS A CHICKEN CANNON or chicken gun, so I redirected this to that article. A simulator would be done in some virtual way, not for real. A flight simulator doesn't fly an actual plane, or it would be a drone. I like to saw logs! (talk) 23:15, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Operation Albion

message: Hi, this article lacks citations and is too brief. Will tag accordingly. Regards, DPdH (talk) 06:56, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations? 

message: The article is a little brief but, then again, the event isn't too well known.  One area which can be changed is that when the battle was fought, Tsar Nicholas II, was still the Russian ruler.  Consequently, the country should be referred to as the "Russian Empire" rather than the Russian Republic.
One other thing:  showing the flags of the two nations...  I believe the German flag is correct for the German Empire but the Russian flag is indicative of modern times (i.e., today).  The colors of the Russian flag are correct and in the proper order.  However, I believe the Russian national flag also had a yellow field in the left corner (as we look at the flag) with a two-headed Russian imperial eagle in it, superimposed over the tri-color white-red-blue.
Thanks and hope this is helpful.  AlexeiRomanov (talk) 00:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

message: While it may be difficult for Wikipedia to take action against an AOL user, AOL could take action based upon the results of a Wikipedia investigation.  Please investigate thoroughly: stalking behavior of any sort isn't something I like to tolerate. Durova 15:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is, checkuser does not investigate and report complex vandalism.  The checkuser tool allows a registered user name to be associated with the IP addresses it has used recently.  (Recently has never been precisely defined, but it's in between days and months.)  Since you already know the Joan of Arc vandal has used some AOL IP addresses, there's nothing to investigate. The only thing that checkuser can do is identify the IP addresses behind the recent edits by ,  and .  If they are all from the same IP, or a narrow range, then it will be proven that they are the same user. However, they can be blocked for vandalism even without checkuser evidence. If there is another user with a good public face behind this, checkuser could possibly identify him/her.  That's probably the only practical value of checkuser in this situation.  Otherwise, you just need to watch and revert the article and report vandals to AIV. Thatcher131 (talk) 05:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Concerning this revision, the translation "Centre-East Catholic School Council" isn't used in any publications and the name "French Catholic School Board Center-East" isn't used anywhere other than a website called The Manotick Directory. In comparison, Google returns over thirty thousand English websites using the full French name or the abbreviation as is, and you can easily verify this by appending the definite article "the" before either one or modifying the Google search language settings. In light of this, the name of the Board already has an established usage in English publications in Canada, and therefore the translation you provided is non-notable and does not constitute a proper Alternative name. — Io Katai ᵀᵃˡᵏ 22:47, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Abraham ibn Daud

message: In working on the article for Solomon Ibn Gabirol, I see that the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia entry refers to one "John Hispanus" a.k.a. "Ibn Daud" as taking part in the translation of Ibn Gabirol's Arabic-language philosophy text into Latin ("Fons Vitae"). The dates of birth/death correspond; however, the Jewish Encyclopedia article describes John Hispanus as a physician who converted to Christianity, while this Wikipedia entry describes "Abraham ibn Daud" not as a physician, and dying a martyr.
—Boruch Baum (talk) 22:26, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that one is known as "John" and the other as "Abraham", and given that any man might have a son named "Daud",  I'd say that they were not the same person, but very easy to confuse, and that the dates of the one man got attached by historians to the name of the other man.

thread_title: Case of the Missing Period

message: Presently, the "political views" section contains an (unsourced) summary of Freeman's novel "The Uttermost Farthing," which features a vigilante committing a series of murders of people he identifies as belonging to the "criminal class." It's not clear what bearing this has on Freeman's real-life views- no source is cited arguing that Freeman agreed with the protagonist of the novel, or documenting that he made arguments for the same behavior outside his fiction, in strong contrast to the well-sourced text documenting Freeman's antisemitism and support for eugenics. It's absurd to impute the values and motives of a fictional character to the character's author without any such evidence; eg clearly Patricia Highsmith did not approve of serial killings, despite writing five popular novels about a serial killer.
