Talk:British School at Athens

message: Hi. You got ahead of me here a bit. I was adding the Greek law information when I realized that we didn't really want to say it here, as there are 18 other institutes to which it applies. I therefore updated List of Foreign Archaeological Institutes in Greece with as much of the law as I considered relevant. That included just about everything that I said here (intentionally). My next step was going to be to delete the material from here, except for the briefest of introductions. Meanwhile the article attracted your attention. You hesitated to delete my material, out of courtesy I suppose, and moved it to a legal section. Thank you for the courtesy, but I was going to delete it anyway. I think I will just go ahead and delete it. There won't be much legal section left, but we didn't really want that here anyway, did we? People are not interested in a detailed exposition of the institute's legal status. I will work what is left of the section back into your introduction. That is what is going on with these seemingly extensive changes. I created the problem and now I am fixing it. Thanks for your interest in the article. I plan to cover some of the material in their web site so people will know why they are an institute and what they really do. But, the big thing I want to go on to is their archaeological work. I want to see a table there of their excavations. Right now there is only a partial list in paragraph form. I might do more with the history. I'm not as fast an editor as you, so you might want to check in from time to time.Botteville (talk) 16:28, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:American School of Classical Studies at Athens

message: I think we should be switching to "infobox institute", as this institute is not a university and does not offer a degree program. It primarily does research. Its educational offerings are focused on that research. One of the things wrong with this article is the attempt to sell it as school any American in Athens might attend. Not so. Only students already enrolled in classics or the equivalent elsewhere can attend, and only with the recommendation of faculty elsewhere. If you are interested in archaeology and you are a successful student elsewhere at an institution that has connections to the American School, and you can get someone known at the school to recommend you, then you might apply for a year or two there to study specialized topics in archaeology and participate in their excavations. Otherwise, forget it. Their primary emphasis is research. The library and courses are aimed at research. For example, the library features all the excavation reports.  One of their main projects is the Athenian Agora, for which they get special permission from the Ministry of Culture, in addition to the three annual they are allowed by law. The American School publishes Hesperia, which mainly now has open access (thank you). There is a long popular series of the Agora, etc. Just because they publish the popular series does not make them a popular school. If you are a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati and are aiming at archaeology, the summum bonum is a year at the American School, which you have to prove yourself to get. Blegen, a quasi-legendary archaeologist, was at Cincinnati. They run Kea also. So, let's drop the university mask and place it in its proper role as research institute. See the latest revisions to List of Foreign Archaeological Institutes in Greece. Right now I'm involved in updating some articles on efforts of the British School. At some point I will be taking this article on, if necessary. If you have any opinions on this, I'd like to hear them. Otherwise at the first opportunity I will make the switch and start rewriting the article. Ciao.Botteville (talk) 15:02, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

*Team: A team of N persons have N+1 crates. All stand on N crates and pass a spare one forward. Everyone shifts one crate forward, leaving one behind. the last person grabs the freed crate and passes it forward, etc...

replies: text: There is an error there - and it is quite easy to check, as the next holder, inheriting in 1899, was the writer Lord Dunsany, to whose position as 18th Lord Dunsany there are many references, including from his family.  He was followed by the 19th in 1957, the 20th in 1999, and the 21st, and current, in 2011.  It is not unusual to meet occasional confusions in the family trees of older titles, as sometimes it is unclear whether two named parties are really two people, or two versions of naming for one person.  The best approach is to understand the position of the relevant family / person, followed by consulting at least 2 of 3 major peerage volumes.  Sites like peerage.com and Leigh Rayment's Peerage are great, but are derivative. SeoR (talk) 23:03, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: For Causalism, there's ("have a leading idea of determinacy"), ("Causal theories of action hold that an event's being an action depends upon how it was caused"), "causalism-descriptivism", causalism ("seeing dream sequences in causal connections") (causalism as connedted with "naturalism, moralism, personalism, temporalism, voluntarism, humanism, positivism, literalism.") For Casualism, there's ("Folks is a casualism, as in the sentence `Single folks topped the list, with 70.8 percent having headaches.'"), ("the new casualism ("how we don't wear ties and how we live in running shoes")") (""Karim talks about what he calls the 'new casualism', the desire to feel free, open and relaxed, without boundaries or sharp edges").

text: Casualism has multiple meanings. In philosophy it is "the doctrine that all things exist or are controlled by chance". It is used as a term to describe the use of casual labour as opposed to fulltime employees (usually by unionised opponents of the practice). Casualism is also the name of an art "concept" (sorry I don't know the proper class/collective term for the "isms" of art). Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:11, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Killeen Castle, Dunsany

message: This article says the castle is "near Killeen". I was under the impression that it is in Killeen, and near Dunshaughlin. Where, then, is "Killeen village", which is apparently 7km from Dunshaughlin? (I've lived in Dunshaughlin most of my life) Edit: Upon further research, according to Logainm.ie, the placenames authority of Ireland, here it appears that Killeen is not even in Dunsany but rather is a townland and a civil parish. There are, according to the same source, 7 townlands in Meath named An Cillín/Killeen; however, only one of these townlands is a civil parish as well and that is this Killeen.

Talk:Baliqiao

message: The current name, Eight Mile Bridge, is inaccurate.  Baliqiao literally means a bridge of eight li.  It should be noted that li is not mile.  And this name is also not widely used in English world.  By Google, there are 1,110 hits for Eight Mile Bridge, many, if not most, of which have nothing to do with baliqiao.  There are 618 hits for baliqiao, 643 for Battle of Baliqiao, and only 1 for Battle of Eight Mile Bridge. According to the official website of Beijing Subway, the stop's name is also Baliqiao.  Therefore, Baliqiao is the proper name for this article. --Neo-Jay 14:52, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am well aware that a li is not an imperial mile, but li *is* a chinese mile and is often translated such. I'm not sure 'widely used in English world' is much of an indicator, since the place itself is relatively obscure in Peking. Also, most of the stop names in the Peking subway are simple pinyin transliterations of the chinese names. InfernoXV 15:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Li *was* translated as mile, but *is* not now.  Please read Li (unit).  If you still don't like to use pinyin, at least the title should be Eight Chinese Mile Bridge or Eight Li Bridge. Ridiculous?  OK, I know that Eight Mile Bridge is also used somewhere.  But I do not see the reason why it is more desirable than Baliqiao. According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese), mainland China place names should be in Hanyu Pinyin.  Many Wikipeida articles about the places in Beijing are pinyin, such as Xidan, Chongwenmen, Tiananmen, Dongdan, etc. Although there are also exceptions, I don't see the reason why an exception should be applied to this case. Please consider the facts that baliqiao is the place's  official translation in Beijing Subway and most books refer to that bottle in 1860 as Battle of Baliqiao, not Battle of Eight Mile Bridge. --Neo-Jay 19:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

message: We should not be including red links for articles that we don't have any reason to believe will ever be created. Per WP:REDLINK, "Do not create red links to articles that will never be created". Red links are allowed if the term could "plausibly sustain an article", but there's no reason to believe all these amateur soccer players will eventually be notable enough for articles. The justification for including them was that they allow us to "track career paths for minor league players in the US" via the "what links here" tool; however, no policy or guideline page I'm aware of gives that as a good reason to keep red links in articles.

Talk:Schlitzie

message: Is it possible that his image was an inspiration for the chracter of Shrek? The resemblance is strong. It sounds like the pweronality might also have been an influence.
I had Schlitzie as a patient on the Medical wards of LA County General Hospital in 1965. He had no vocabulary. His typical speech was "Oh No" He was admitted to the Medical ward where I was an Intern in 1965. Not because he was ill but because he worked in the circus as the "PIN-HEADED Lady. His circus "Keeper" had had a heart attack and there was no one else to care for him. He was quite polite except when his "Friends" from the circus came to see him. Then he would get rambunctious and "act Out". The tops of his ears were above his skull. I had x-rays taken of his head and body and we made sure he had no life threatening illnesses. As long as his friends from the circus were out of the scene he was quite polite. I practiced in Monterey Calf from 1966 to 1976 when I moved to the Elko Clinic in Elko Nevada.
