Talk:Synagogue architecture

message: This is a horrible section.  You have cities listed and, well that's just useless.  There is a synagogue in Newark, Delaware but it's incredibly non-notable... and there is also Arkansas listed.  That's a whole state.  That section (esecially) and this article (generally) need a lot of work... which is something I'm not really qualified to do... it would be great, however, to find good images for each of the notable sites.  gren 20:43, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Synagogues around the world 

message: The quotation of the influence of Moorish architecture was not exact. I have changed it. Other question: an article about synagogue architecture that doesn`t quotate Frank Lloyd Wright´s synagogue at Elkins Park, or the baroque interventions of Baldasare Longhena at the synagogues of Venice has much to work to be done. Cheer up! --Garcilaso 20:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Notable synagogues missing

message: This is undoubtedly an important topic, and the article as it is contains a lot of interesting information; but it also reflects the editorial outlook of the Encyclopedia Judaica article. For example, an organ loft is not as universal as one might believe, nor that classrooms are on the first floor, etc.  I would propose that we organize the article into the following sections:
# Functional requirements that would serve to explain design - without making the contrast explicit, this should serve to explain why synagogues are not equivalent to churches, mosques, etc.
# History, geographical variations, etc. - probably needs to be subdivided more, but this is where we explain that there isn't a distinct style for synagogues, but that the architecture has been a function of antisemitic restrictions, size of the community, architectural styles in the environment, functional use, etc.
# Contemporary issues
# A guide to making sense of the interior of a synagogue - what to look for, what may vary, etc. Should include discussions of a mechitza, bimah, ark, etc.
# Examples, both contemporary and historic

message: I have just moved the second list to List of tallest structures in the United States by height. Someone more familiar with the content and context might want to check both pages. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 20:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

message: There reads in the header: A common misperception is that landmarks such as the Stratosphere Tower are the tallest United States structures, but they are in fact the tallest buildings.
Actually, there is a note in List of tallest buildings in Las Vegas: A. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, freestanding observation towers are not considered to be buildings, as they are not fully habitable structures. This structure is included for comparative purposes.
So, Stratosphere Tower is not either: not a building at all and not the tallest structure. However, according to that same article, Stratosphere Tower is the Tallest observation tower in the United States. 82.141.64.25 (talk) 23:06, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Miss Lonelyhearts

message: It really is. That anyone could read this little book and find anything in it involving, even by implication, either the Situationist or Marxist concepts of "alienation" of modern man due to commodification and specialization and etc etc etc, is kind of amazing. It's obviously a kind of wise-ass Dostoevsky novel in miniature. It's not about the causes of alienation. It's about seemingly inherent alienation, and more than that, it's about human suffering and loneliness. And about suffering over human suffering, and about the search for solutions to it. The book - correctly - says there are no solutions but God, ie Christ-like love and sympathy and kindness. But it then shows that modern men have real problems buying in. It isn't that complicated. Also, to the earlier writer on this page (and to any critic), I don't know any more about him than these two books and the basic biographical info available on Wikipedia, but if this book is any indication, West wasn't a nihilist any more than Dostoevsky was. Nihilists don't suffer over their nihilism. Hoping God exists and weeping over seemingly pointless suffering  is not nihilistic. I read West the same way I read Dostoevsky, albeit West seems to have been much more depressive and to have had less hope, or to have found it even more difficult than FD to truly believe or pretend to believe. But clearly both men's knowledge (which was nihilistic and bleak) had to work against their hope, which was Christian.
: I'm the editor who added the Situationist bits. The original article was all about theodicy/nihilism, and I tried to leave some of that intact. I actually just signed into Wikipedia for the first time in years because I saw the first line come up when I Googled it, and I thought it seemed silly, so I was going to change it. Then I saw the new objection above. I've been busy lately, but I'll try to reread it before editing, with that position in mind. In the mean time, I recommend reading The Dream Life of Balso Snell and the cited articles, which I found fairly persuasive. Le kasydzu (talk) 05:58, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

message: How can one ensure that a su doku puzzle has a unique solution? Lupin 02:01, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I have seen the only known methods involve brute force, that is, exhaustive checking. Since Su Doku is essentially a graph coloring problem, and such problems are known, or suspected, to be computationally difficult, it would be surprising if there were some efficient way of checking whether a puzzle can be completed in a unique way.

thread_title: Uniqueness of solutions

message: I have removed the sentence "Despite it being called a mathematical puzzle there is no arithmetic actually involved, solving the puzzles requires just simple logic." It is often stated that solving Su Doku involves no mathematics, which is clearly wrong; solving the puzzle is an application of mathematics. Also, I can't see any reason why mathematical puzzles should be expected to contain arithmetic (witness, Soma cube, Tangram). Dillon256 13:04, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

"Using final vote percentages from electoral-vote.com, I made a map showing the percentage of “red” voters in each state along with the percentage of “blue” voters. The color on top of each state shows the party that won that state’s electoral votes. (Note: this is not perfectly scientific, as my approximations were made by eye, but I tried to be as accurate as possible for the purpose of this exercise.)
Here we see a slightly better representation of the feelings of the American populace. Those red states have a lot of blue in them. The reverse also holds true for the blue states, with the notable exception of Washington, D.C., where an overwhelming 90% of citizens voted for Kerry. D.C. is only 6 pixels high on this map, but to be fair I gave the bottom row to red."
:That's a great idea...possibly easier to read than a "purple" map.  However, on your website you mentioned it wasn't done scientifically.  Couldn't there be a program to fill states accordingly to remove any possibility of bias either way? --Doctorcherokee 23:15, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
