Talk:Myside bias

message: How is this anything more than a reworded version of confirmation bias? --maru   (talk)  contribs 17:32, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundant? 

message: Confirmation bias involves confirming something that you already believed or stated previously. It involves "confirming" something you have previously decided to support. MySide Bias has to do with supporting something when it comes from your side, even if you have never thought about it before, that you might not have supported had it come from the other 'side'. 
"Myside bias can be viewed as a subclass of confirmation bias (McKenzie, 2004) and is related to the construct of actively open-minded thinking (Baron, 2008)." ~https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0963721413480174
It seems some people do consider them to be the same, but they like the term "MySide Bias" better: "Myside bias is a common type of cognitive bias where people process information in a manner biased toward their own prior beliefs, opinions, and attitudes [6–11]. It occurs when people seek, interpret, and remember evidence to confirm their preexisting beliefs and to refute opinions different from their own. For example, people with certain political affiliations may selectively tune in news channels that align with their own political views, take the broadcast information as truth, and remember the information over time in spite of new, view-opposing information from other sources. Some researchers consider myside bias to be a subclass of confirmation bias [12, 13], and some suggest that “myside bias” is a more precise term than “confirmation bias” to refer to the tendency of processing information to support one’s own position [7]. We thus use the term myside bias here. Myside bias reflects a deficiency in critical or rational thinking rather than general cognitive abilities or intelligence [7, 9, 13]. On the other hand, social biases, such as sexism, ageism, racism, and classism, are inclinations or prejudices against individuals or groups on the basis of gender, age, race, or social class." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7546453/ Myclob (talk) 18:45, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gytrash

message: Argh! how do you pronounce the word??
:Now added. I have added the pronunciation using the IPA method, but I think it is unhelpful to mortals, so if this is easier: 'guy-trash', with the emphasis on the first syllable.  JMcC (talk)
Current IPA says the emphasis is on the second syllable. In the film Jane Eyre 2011 it sounds like the first syllable is pronounced "dʒi" as in "Jeep". I added a request for a source for the pronunciation. --Bensin (talk) 23:58, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: What is the notability here? Are there any published sources that mention this technique or is it a local thing? I'm saying this as someone might challenge this as to notability, though it would likely survive any AfD. Still, any noted relevance to the world outside of Leichester would be helpful, as well as mentioning awards, organizations that may have commented on it or noticed it, the scope of its use, a definite statement of its origin. I found the article interesting, so I hope my constructive criticism here will help round the article out a bit and put it out of reach of any potential AfDers (people who might put it up for deletion on grounds of notability). Please add any additional references that you can find. --DanielCD 01:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

This is a terrible sentence on several levels.  Not only does the sentence's predicate lack reflection of the subject, but metacognition IS being aware of your thought process.  This sentence says a whole lot of nothing and says it poorly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.209.215.87 (talk) 03:51, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Tinian, Northern Mariana Islands

message: The caption for the bomb-pit picture copies the information given in the external link, that Pit #1 was used for Fat Man before being loaded on to the Enola Gay. In fact, of course, it was Little Boy that was carried by Enola Gay – Fat Man was carried by Bockscar.

message: "Tinian was not garrisoned by the Japanese military until the latter stages of World War II, when the Japanese realized its strategic importance as a base for American Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers."  What sense does that sentence make?  Did the U.S. military announce the intended use of Tinian before US forces invaded Tinian?  Or Japanese military intelligence was so smart it knew exactly which aircraft the US would station there?142.105.41.26 (talk) 00:06, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Jimmy Piersall

message: I added to his professional career and deleted the erroneous reference to an on-the-field nervous breakdown.  That happened in the movie "Fear Strikes Out," not in real life!
-In 1963, I read he ran the bases in reverse order to celebrate his 100th career home run (from third to second to first to home). The day after there was a rule implemented that made it illegal for people to run the bases backwards. Am I wrong?
::Reply to unsigned above ...
::Indeed, that would have been illegal. What Piersall did was run the bases in the proper order, but running while facing backward, which is merely silly, but still legal. WHPratt (talk) 16:00, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:FreeDoom

message: Concerning mods, the WAD is not simply replaced, I will add this quote from the readme of PrBoom
PrBoom also supports playing Doom add-on levels, called "PWADs", which
are small extra .wad files which just contain extra levels or other
resources. PWADs are ONLY ADD-ONS, you still need the original IWAD
that they are designed to work with. In practice, most PWADs on the
Internet require doom2.wad (although some work with doom.wad). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.7.35.9 (talk • contribs) 
: There are two types of WAD files: PWADs ("patch") and IWADs ("Id"). There are thousands and thousands of patch wads implementing new levels, sounds etc., that can be used to supplement an official ID WAD.
: The freedoom project is creating new IWAD files that in no way rely on the commercial IWADs of ID Software. If you are using Debian, you can just apt-get install freedoom prboom and run it without needing the originals. -- Jon Dowland 14:46, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Although Llano did lose access to water, it was not because of an earthquake.  Local farmers sued the colony in order to take it water.  This was, however, not a primary cause of the colony's failure.  More important was the failure of the colony to develop a working governing structure, and a dependence on loans.

Talk:Arabic scale

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the spelling of the scale should include "C-C#-E-F-G-G#-B."  That's incorrect notation, as a note spelling should not appear twice in a diatonic scale (in this case, C-C# and G-G#); those are reserved for accidentals.  The correct spelling is "C-Db-E-F-G-Ab-B-C;" that way, it fits correctly on a staff.

thread_title: Double harmonic scale

message: It seems to me that this page could or should be a section of the Arab Tone System page.  This page basically interprets an Arabic scale as a Western scale, but the Arab Tone System is much richer than this brief article implies.  If I had time, I'd do this, and may do it later, but I leave it as a suggestion for now.--Chris van Hasselt 14:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I think by "Arabic scale" this is meant to be a sort of imitation of Arabic music for western music - this bears little resemblance to maqam which is much larger and as you say much richer.  I've seen and heard it used but it's definitely not (at least in this form) a part of Arabic music. 202.37.62.100 04:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I suggest this article be merged with Byzantine scale. As far as i know, Arabic and Byzantine are just two names for the same scale. I would suggest the Article be titled Byzantine scale or Byzantine/Arabic scale because the Arabian Scale is a completely different scale which Arabic might be confused with. (Interestingly enough the Arabian scale redirects here. Someone needs to create an Arabian scale article...)

message: Because of the lack of content in The Look of Love (ABC song) and other songs, I propose that the article should be merged/redirected to this. Songs can have their own articles only if there is something substantial to be written about them. Note, this is not a 'notability' issue -- it's just that the articles about some songs are stubs that could be integrated within this parent article. The JPStalk to me 13:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merge

message: The article doesn't convey an accurate impression of the album's initial reception in 1982. The weight given to Ken Tucker's extremely negative American review implies that critical opinion was mixed, while my recollection is that it was overwhemingly positive even in the US, with opinions like Tucker's very much outliers. Some critics did seem to have trouble adjusting to the changes in the UK music scene in the post punk era, with the merging of commercial pop music and indie as exemplified by bands like Depeche Mode, The Human League, Scritti Politti etc. --Ef80 (talk) 13:38, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
