Talk:Outline of category theory

message: I'd add triangulated category, but I don't know which section it should be in. Michael Hardy 02:50, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Is there a cartesian closed concrete category which 
is small enough to write out explicitly?  It would be 
helpful in learning about map objects, exponentiation, 
distributivity and other topics.   Can such a category 
be made with binary numbers for instance?  Is there 
a way to avoid having an infinite number of objects?
Thanks,             ... PeterEasthope (talk) 15:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure.  Every Heyting algebra is a cartesian closed category, with meet for product and implication for the closed structure.

thread_title:  A small cartesian closed concrete category 

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Monotransitive verb

message: I'm not an english expert or anything (and don't know a whole lot about monotransitive verbs), but I was thinking that using the verb "to buy" isn't a very good example because it can sometimes also have an indirect object:
I bought him a cow.
subject: I
indirect object: him
direct object: cow
it can also be reflexive but its redundant:
I bought myself a cow. (same as "I bought a cow," but still.)
Since I don't really know what I'm talking about I didn't edit it and also its ok in the example since it is monotransitive but I just thought it would be a better example with a verb that is only monotransitive, like or "eat" or something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.19.25.253 (talk) 07:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Joe Mantell

message: Mantell's character in Chinatown  was not "Walsh the photographer." Walsh was one of three detectives in Jake Gittes's detective agency, along with Gittes himself (Jack Nicholson) and Duffy (Bruce Glover). He took covert photographs of subjects in the firms' investigative cases as part of his job. (Gittes himself is shown taking covert photos from a rooftop and again, pretending to be taking photos of Duffy as the two glide in a rowboat, when in fact he is snapping subjects in an adjacent boat). Walsh in the film, like Gittes and Duffy, is an ex-LAPD cop gone over to the private eye business. He is not "Walsh the photographer" anymore than I am "maccb the Xerox boy" when I make copies of a presentation for interns (I'm a supervising psychologist in a health/behavioral medicine setting). It's just part of the job. What a stupid thing to write. Sincerely, maccbMaccb (talk) 04:49, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

I suggest that someone who cares for this article look through the further reading and remove any bullet points that appear to be the sort of cruft that builds up in "External links" and "Further reading" sections in old articles (Fisher being typical example).

message: Hubris, especially as a concept in Ancient Greek literature, is certainly a notable topic, and there's plenty within that context that could be expanded on in this article (Odysseus, for example) but I think we need to be careful about connecting anything that resembles hubris from modern times unless we have reliable scholarly sources connecting the two. Any old use of the word "hubris" or any other thing that kind of looks like it doesn't belong in a broad-concept article unless reliable sources connect the two.
Relatedly, i don't think arrogance should redirect here - that article should... probably not even exist except as a disambiguation, but we can certainly put the dictionary definition of arrogance on the dab page.  - car chasm (talk) 07:41, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Duress in American law

message: Has anyone heard of a mortgage company using duress to get mortgages signed?
----
I've added some things on contract law to do with duress - however it's Australian-centric - other users might like to add things based on their own country. Enochlau 09:30, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: To begin with, the article should be renamed to Duress in American law. It is quite problematic to have the article entitled Duress covering American law only, while having a separate article for Duress in English law. 
Aside from that, the entire article reads like somebody's opinion rather than actual fact. Statements like "It is extremely unlikely that a state would exclude a class of persons from liability for acting under duress" do not belong in an encyclopedia article on a legal topic -- rather the article should say which states exclude liability for acting under duress and which do not. --Mathew5000 01:34, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Also it is weird that the introduction says necessity might be considered a form of duress. Usually it is the other way around: duress is considered a special form of necessity. --Mathew5000 01:38, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article needs revision 

message: The two sentences in the WP:lede are very confusing:
:The notion of duress must be distinguished both from undue influence in the civil law. In criminal law, duress and necessity are different defenses.People v. Unger, 362 N.E.2d 319 (1977)Handbook on Criminal Law 381 (1972)
Perhaps they should read:
:Duress has two meanings:
::(1) A form of undue influence in civil law
::(2) An affirmative defense in criminal law.  See duress and necessityPeople v. Unger, 362 N.E.2d 319 (1977)Handbook on Criminal Law 381 (1972)
Is it acceptable for me to make the change, if I understand it correctly?  Perhaps, it is an affirmative defense in contract law?
