message: I'd be interested in us gathering citable numbers to display the growth of the system. Here's one data point: "In 1916, 67,097 people borrowed books from the library—the number of borrowers constituting 19 per cent of the population of the city." At that time the system appears to have had more total points of contact with the public than today, though fewer branches as such: "the central library, 9 branch libraries, 8 drug store deposit stations, 32 fire-engine houses, 420 school rooms in 77 schools, 3 play grounds and 8 special deposit stations."

Talk:Bionics (medical)

message: ---------------------
I think nature has NOTHING to teach us.
---------------------
In Russian bionics (бионика) means the same as in German. Perhaps we need to separate the article into two parts...
Actually, in English it is less frequently used but the meaning is the same as in German and Russian. American Heritage dictionary defines it as "application of biological principles to the study and design of engineering systems, especially electronic systems".
I had separated it into bionics (biology) and bionics (engineering).
censorship.  lame.  author is using article to push POV on bionics. --interweb user.
----------------------
can someone please have "Biognosis" and "Biomimicry" redirect here, please? thank you.
---------------------
To me, bionics refers to a melding of biological and technical systems, whereas biomicicry is the use of biological systems to inform design.
----------------------
Yes, I strongly agree with the above comment.  I think there ought to be separate entries for "bionics" and "biomimicry."   There is a distinct community of people who pursue biomimicry as a design philosophy (for architecture, product design, materials science, etc.).  This doesn't overlap much with the field of medical bionics. <BR> -

message: Greetings Wikipedians! This section began with the statement "Wyman married five times", but only four marriages are listed. I am not sure which is correct.

Talk:White nationalism/Archive 1

message: The writer of the below listed statement 
" Hispanics, Portuguese, and Italian people may or may not be considered white, based on regional backgrounds (Basque Spaniards and Northern Italians may be accepted while Sicilians and Puerto Ricans aren't)." seems to have a very limited knowledge of the concepts of race, culture and ethnicity. Puerto Rico, much like the US is a place inhabited by people of differing races, and or ethnicties. Among the population one can find people who are White, Black and or of mixed racial stock. As for Sicillians? I have seen many who can be mistaken for Nordics!

from Svigor - sorry if I'm posting this in someone else's space, I'm a Wikipedia noob.  Rick said I should discuss my extensive edits in "talk" and this is the only place I could see to post my comment.  Is this the right place, or am I missing something?
Okay, now I see how it works.  I'd be happy to find a good place to discuss this.  I'm a White Nationalist, and I have a pretty good handle on current White Nationalist thinking, and the original article was far less than satisfactory.
I understand that this article is not likely to end up as a presentation of White Nationalism from a WN p.o.v., but I think it's fair to at least include both sides of the argument.
"I think the use here of "caucasians" is bizarre as white nationalists are presumably against actual caucasians. I understand that caucasian may be (incorrectly) used as an American euphamism for white but it is strange to use it in an encyclopedia."
You're essentially correct.  The proper term is Caucasoid, not Caucasian.  They have the same etymological origin, but the two words have quite different meanings.
Haha, I just found this:
http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/White-nationalism
So which is chicken and which is egg?
"and perhaps even Slavs."
No, you're thinking of the Third Reich.  In my experience, less than oh, one percent of all White Nationalists consider Slavs non-white.  In fact, in my two years posting and reading regularly at Stormfront.org, I think I 'might' have heard ONE person refer to slavs as non-white.
Nationmaster is a mirror of Wikipedia. The nationmaster entry is presumably out of date. And I agree about the use of term caucasian. Secretlondon 10:39, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
