Talk:Reactance (psychology)

message: The article states, "For example, if Mr. Doe states that he is interfering with Mrs. Smith's expectations because of an emergency, this also allows Mrs. Smith to imagine that Mr. Doe will interfere in future occasions as well." What is meant here by "expectations?" It makes the example rather vague and does not clarify the theoretical point.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbugyi (talk • contribs) 16:35, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

message: From "People using reverse psychology are playing on at least an informal awareness of reactance". It seems to me that "play on" is misused here. To "play on" means exploting and therefore "People using reverse psychology are playing on reactance" seems more correct to me. I'd even contradict the original statement and say that it's critical that the target of the reverse psychology is unaware of reactance. It might be added that "People using reverse psychology are at least informally aware of reactance", depending on what you mean to say by the example. Anrza (talk) 20:22, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Jacques d'Arc/Archive01

message: Further information for study: (POV)  The de Lys and du Lys have different point of views, and thus its exact meaning is not included in the article.   The "de Lys" form is archaic french; likewise, "thou shalt not..." is an archaic form.  The "du Lys" form is a more modern syntax; likewise, "do not..." is in modern form.  The way "Lys" is spelled is older then its modern form "lis," meaning lily.  The "de Lys" form hints at symbols that even the Roman Empire used for status, even the Iris the Goddess.  This does not mean the monarchy is associated or orientated with the Roman Empire, Roman gods or Roman goddesses.  The "du Lys" form is found in 15th century french, but its archaic form was still used in names.  Modern french has the form as "du lis," which means "of the lily."  The difference is the "the" before a proper name.  For example, we do not say "of the America" because it is more correct to say "of America."  Iris is a goddess in the Roman Empire, so the form "of Iris" denotes that someone belongs to the order of Iris, yet that modern form would suggest a syntax like "d'ordre de Lys," which is less ambiguous than "l'ordre du Lys."  Also see, fleur-de-lis.  Which form to use is a matter of preference and point of view; therefore, it is not included in the article.  Jhballard 15:20, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Christopher Gadsden

message: In the article under prisoner of war it states that he was released from what the British called Ft. St. Marks and sent on a merchant ship back up to the U.S. territory.  This is not quite what happened.  My great, great, great, great, great grandfather Don Francisco Xavier Sanchez rescued him and other patriots from the fort in St. Augustine and smuggled them back to South Carolina on his ship and yes he was a merchant and so it was a merchant ship.  He did this at great risk as doing so could have gotten him hanged.  He has just recently been recognized by the Daughters of the American revolution for doing this.  Unfortunately I am only able to offer original research so I am not able to cite any books or internet sources that Wikipedia might consider appropriate.  Anyone could verify this by looking up D.A.R. patriots from British East Florida.  Among the rescued prisoners were three signers of the declaration of Independence.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.144.213.97 (talk) 19:33, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

message: This page was moved a while ago, without discussion or explanation, and the ship names edited, to remove the definite article from Le Fantasque and the others. There was no justification for this, and I notice the name changes have been reverted. There were no sources on the page, so I have now added some, all of which list these vessels as having names with the definite article. If anyone has a source that says differently, I suggest they bring it here, as it may warrant a footnote informing of the difference; but the weight of evidence is for the names to be as they were originally written.

Δε φείδεται αυτοκριτικής και αντικειμενικής θεώρησης των πρώην αντιπάλων του. Για παράδειγμα γράφει για το κίνημα του Δεκεμβρίου 1944: «Το συνδυασμένο πείσμα του Τσώρτσιλ και του βασιλιά [Γεωργίου Β΄] αποτέλεσε το άμεσο αίτιο της τραγωδίας». Αλλού ομολογεί: «Μέχρι το 1947 η βρετανική κυβέρνηση διόριζε και απέλυε Ελληνες πρωθυπουργούς χωρίς καμία σχεδόν ευαισθησία για τους συνταγματικούς τύπους». Για να καταλήξει στο 1949 και στους Ελληνες κομμουνιστές: «Χωρίς την παραμικρή τύψη, ο Στάλιν τους άφησε στη μοίρα τους».

He was shot in an assassination attempt in 1924 but continued a very active politcal life before he died in 1932.

professor linked with the neo-Confederate group League of the South. It seems to me all of these would qualify Synon as
