Talk:Is–ought problem

message: I'm not exactly sure what the purpose is of some of the images in this article. A view of the Earth from the moon and an image of a goalpost seem rather... unnecessary. As if one of the authors of this article wanted to include graphics and couldn't think of anything that actually applied to the article. I believe they should be removed.

thread_title:  References needed 

message: "The is–ought problem, as articulated by the Scottish philosopher and historian David Hume, arises when one makes claims about what ought to be that are based solely on statements about what is."
I find this conclusion absurd. A basic moral truth has to exist but nowhere does anyone specify it has to belong in the empirical domains of reality. This is only a naive empricisitic problem. It does not meaningfully distinguish between rational and empirical truths in their most basic manners. This whole problem arises from the stubborn determination of trying to reduce all rational truths to some empirical and "facts" when obviously the square peg does not fit in the circular hole.

The only other flow control statement in HAL/S is GO TO.  The experience of a number of large HAL/S programming projects has shown that the GOTO statement is not necessary.  It is provided chiefly for mechanical translations from other languages.
That is from "Programming in HAL/S" pp82.

Talk:Revolutions of 1848

thread_title: Move

message: I think the words "the regrouping of established government forces" should be removed from the list of causes found in the second intro paragraph.  These words refer more to the ultimate success of counter-revolutionary efforts to reverse and suppress the revolutions, rather than to the forces causing the revolutions in the first place.  I have found from firsthand experience working with high school students that the inclusion of these words in this list of causes just confuses things. Thadfan (talk) 00:58, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Introduction's list of causes 

message: The article points to the French February revolution as the initial spark of the revolutions of 1848. This is inaccurate. It is commonly recognized that Palermo's uprising was the initial spark that inspired later events.

Talk:Surrealist automatism

message: Is redirecting from automatic mathematics rather than a separate article to here the best way to go?  I am open to arguments...  --Daniel C. Boyer 20:17, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: *The computer, just like the typewriter, can be used to produce  automatic writing and automatic poetry. The surrealist practice of automatic drawing, originally performed with pencil or pen and paper, has also been adapted to mouse and monitor, and other automatic methods have also been either adapted from non-digital media, or invented specifically for the computer.  For instance, filters have been automatically run in some bitmap editor programs such as Photoshop and The GIMP. Computer-controlled brushes have been used to "simulate" automatism.

There are vast tracts of surrealist mathematics written in the form of competent philosophy that define the surrealist process and results, a contemporary form of analytic geometry applied to the fine arts and related subjects.

I think the sketch proof of existence on the partial fraction page is essentially OK.
Charles Matthews 08:20, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

message: This is a quite nice and useful page; I don't dare to say "stub", but lots of things could be added. I'm just hesitating whether to but an (of course never) "exhaustive" list of such methods before or behind the examples, on in between the simple and the complicated example.
I'm rather against the "merging" blob. It's nice to have this "application" page corresponding to 1st yr calculus university needs, which may soon grow to a quite respectable size, separately from a more algebraic partial fraction page.
Links to this page may be useful on basic pages of integration (I mean 'finding primitives'), where the algebraic background would be completely irrelevant and a hurdle for many readers to make their way up to the stuff presented here, while in turn this is completely irrelevant for more theoretical considerations like existence etc. — MFH: Talk 18:51, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why a President? 

message: If there is any reason at all for this article not to be merged with Australian republicanism or Australian referendum 1999 (Establishment of Republic), then it is because it focuses on the issues surrounding the proposed office of President. I have tried to rearrange and rewrite the article so it less of a description of the 1999 debate and more about the different ideas of a president. Note that if the article really is about its title, it does not need to mention monarchists as much as an article about the referendum would in order to be NPOV, however I have tried to take into account the concerns about inaccuracies. I still feel it could be merged, but hopefully now the article give a bit more detail on the various options for the role of the president. JPD 14:17, 7 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article about President, not republican debate 

message: Whether or not the Queen is Australia's Head of State is a point of contention in the circles that debate the current constitution vs. a republic. The republicans argue that she is, while most monarchists advocate she isn't (particularly ACM). As the Constitution doesn't define this and the Keating government referred to the Governor-General as Head of State, I've removed reference to the Queen as Head of State in this article. Simply referring to her as Sovereign is accurate and not a point of contention.
:My version did not make any reference to the Queen as head of state. I was quite careful about that. I think you are going too far to avoid any wording that might sound republican, even if it is accurate. Since this is an article about republican proposals, it will include republican ideas. The argument that the GG is effective head of state is included, and that should be enough. JPD 11:19, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Simone Melchior

message: How do I edit the search to p/u Simone Cousteau, Simone Melchior, Simone Melchior Couteau??jo
You can't edit the search as such, but what you can do is create redirects. Create a new page with the title Simone Cousteau for example, and then type in #redirect Simone Melchior.
The page will automatically go to the Simone Melchior page, and Google will pick it up, so that if anyone searches for Simone Couteau they will be shown the Simone Melchior page. Don't go overboard and create loads though as you don't want to end up cluttering the search so it becomes less useful. Angela 02:17, 17 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Porto Velho

message: Is it Pôrto Velho or Porto Velho? KSiimson (talk) 13:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: This page contains conflicting information: in the first paragraph it says that the population of Porto Velho is "502.654", whereas in the sidebar right it says, population is "379.186".  I assume that these use the 'continental European' thousands separator of "." rather than ",".
The figure 379.186 is confirmed in ref. [1], but says it is a July 2008 figure.  The article quotes it as 2010.
This usage appears to have led to a conversion problem in the area figure in the sidebar: the area is quoted as "34.082 km2 (13.2 sq mi)".  Clearly the sq mi equivalent ought to be 13,200 sq mi.  This is confirmed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_surface_area, which quotes "13,159.1" sq mi and "34,082" km²
In my view it is preferable to have a "stubby" page than no entry at all until someone can improve on it.

message: Just getting rid of the (citation needed)tag. Just doing a simple search I was able to find extracts on JI's vision of a state including northern Australia, albeit from a biased source.
