Talk:Groundhog Day (film)

message: I’m just trying to find ways to make this article more concise.  Is this like Die Hard where the description is infallible? 67.169.64.53 (talk) 18:32, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume you're talking about the plot, which on Die Hard went through many variations before a good version was agreed upon. The same thing happened at The Shawshank Redemption and the same thing happened here, each of which were then copy edited and went through the Featured ARticle process involving many further people. So it has been generally agreed upon that what is here works and works well, that does not mean it is infallible but the guidelines of Wikipedia also state that you can make edits and those edits can be undone, copied, pasted, etc, it does not give you the right to be upset about it. So if someone believes a previous version is better, and in terms of this being an agreed upon version, it is, then they can revert that per WP: BRD and WP: STATUSQUO. Of course because you are using different IPs instead of creating an account or logging into an existing one it's not possible to know exactly what you are talking about as your only edits are shown for today regarding this article. EDIT: And your edits weren't undone entirely, I kept the change to the last paragraph because I agree with you, but griping because you believe you have carte blanche to do whatever without others input is not going to get you far. There are over 300 people watching this article. Darkwarriorblake / Vote for something that matters 18:39, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why do my edits keep getting reverted? 

message: Under "Context," this is the first line, and cites one source. When visiting that source, the only occurrence of the word "family" in that context was this:
For all the talk of 1993 being the year of family films, the only true “family film” among the top 10 is “Free Willy.”
The only citation for this opening line is a source that doesn't make that claim. Furthermore, on the "1993 in film" Wikipedia page linked at the beginning of this section, there is similarly no discussion about 1993 being the year of the family film. This line should go, unless reputable references to 1993 being termed "the year of the family film" can be added. The problem is that the rest of the paragraph follows this opening line; just deleting it leaves it confusing. Thoughts? Indy (talk) 19:06, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:File format

message: While the external links tend to be excessive, I'm curious why the insistence on keeping the DMOZ link.  I've never found any of its content to be useful. Tedickey (talk) 22:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, on a closer look, the DMOZ link isn't great!

I cannot find any significant adverse reactions to fentanyl that exist which have been not documented in some degree by this article. Furthermore, I've struggled to find this alleged bias you speak of. I looked at the user names of recent contributors to this article and have found none with names like User:JanssenPharmaceuticaRep or similar.

Talk:Yeshiva

message: An IP-identified editor added the following In the yeshiva system of talmudic study the first area to be mastered are eight mesechtohs (volumes that deal with a given subject which are divided into chapters that deal with sub-topics relating to the general subject) that deal with civil jurisprudence.
Could he be more specific (here)? What are these eight magic masechtot, and what are does he mean specifically by "civil jurisprudence"? Having studied in some well-known Yeshivot, both modern and Chareidi (but not Hesder), I've done plenty of Moed and Nashim, both in high school and beis-medrash.Mzk1 (talk) 06:28, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Specific Masechtot? 

message: I don't understand this statement:
Until the late 20th century, yeshivot were attended by males only. Many Modern Orthodox yeshivot have opened since then for girls and women. 
If by yeshiva you mean just a religious school, as in the U.S., then this isn't true at all; schools for women are neither specifically Modern Orthodox or that recent.
If you mean a traditional, full-time-Talmud study Yeshiva, are there really "many" for girls and women? Perhaps if you include Israeli Midrashot (some of them), but then Modern Orthodox may not be the best term. How many did you count?Mzk1 (talk) 23:04, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I noticed that this edit (from circa "14:49, 28 May 2019") has an "edit comment" that says, [quote:] << "m (→‎top: clean up language templates)" >>. 
Many of the changes that were made then (in an edit marked as "minor"), seemed to involve changing "he-n" to "he" ... in a template [instance] of . That is, (removing the '-n' suffix). That is, changing "{{lang-he-n [...] }}" to "{{lang-he [...] }}" in a given instance of [invoking, or ... "transcluding"] that [] template. 
However, when I looked at the "Example" [table] in [the only April 2019 version of] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Lang-he-n ... it seemed to me that the entry in the "Output" column that is shown on the top row (the row labeled "This template") may actually be preferable to the entry in the "Output" column shown on the second row (labeled "Another template"). 
I mean "preferable" in terms of clarity, readability, and helpfulness to the reader (that is, "preferable to" in the sense of "better than"). 
I would have already reverted those changes by now, however ... I may be unfamiliar with some of the issues involved here, and there might be something (interesting) to know about the reasons why the editor of the "14:49, 28 May 2019" edit made those changes [see (the above link to) the DIFF listing for that edit]. 
So ... I still might (remain inclined to [want to]) revert those changes, (that ones that seemed to me, to be a step in the wrong direction); but first, ... Any comments? --Mike Schwartz (talk) 10:02, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:S-expression

message: The article presents an (somewhat implicit) definition of s-exprs as binary trees with atoms as the leaves, but McCarthy himself defined them as notation that translates to these structures:
:We shall now define the S-expressions (S stands for symbolic). They are formed by using the special characters
:.
:)
:(
:and an infinite set of distinguishable atomic symbols.
I think the article should be changed to reflect this. The whole point of s-exprs is to convey lists, not to represent them in memory as cons cells or in any other way. Qwertyus (talk) 11:19, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: True, it is the first time I see sexps described as pairs, and it is all the more misleading with the illustration, which also shows a binary tree, but not the same as pairs. The article needs a serious rewrite. Nowhere man (talk) 13:54, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are s-exprs data structures, or a notation for them? 

message: The parser function is beautiful, but it has some errors. If the input is "1" the result is []. "1 1" gives ['1'], but "1 1 ()" gives ['1', '1', []]. Also, it lacks error handling to deal with mismatched (missing or extraneous) parentheses.

message: "For simple use cases, S-expressions are simpler than XML, but for more advanced use cases, XML has a query language so called XPath, many tools and third party libraries to simplify the handling of XML data."
The first half of this sentence seems to be leading you to something like "but for more advanced use cases, XML <is simpler because...>" but instead explains that the extra complexity of XML is handled by tools and libraries.  That is, I read this as essentially: "for simple cases S-expressions are simpler; for complex cases XML is still complex and you need further tools to deal with that complexity".

thread_title: Wikiproject help

message: Hello, Georgia county mavens! To defuse the edit war that has started at :Category:County government in the United States, I'd appreciate some additional input on the topic of whether U.S. counties are (1) a level of local government or (2) an arm of state government. Discussion thus far is on my User talk page at User_talk:Orlady#County_government, but we could move it to a content-oriented talk page if desired. --Orlady (talk) 00:33, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello GA. I am the other side of the edit war. My claim is that although county officials may be elected or appointed locally (i.e. not statewide), the actual county government itself is an arm of the state government. This is consistent with the powers they exercise (elections, law enforcement, etc.). If we could have some academically informed input, I would appreciate it, because the general impression and intuition that people have is that county government is "local government," but to those who actually study political science formally, the difference is known. The compromise that I propose is the persons should be categorized under "local politicians" while the offices should be categorized under "state government."

Talk:Yinglish

message: This page is almost entirely inaccurate; ostensibly about Yinglish, it mostly seems to be trying to describe Yeshivish. The two are very different phenomena, and the former is not particularly an Orthodox one, nor even an exclusively Jewish one. ("To be miyayesh," for example, is Yeshivish, not Yinglish; Saturday Night Live's Linda Richman character used Yinglish, not Yeshivish, as did New York Sen.

message: Essentially you just said that any religious book believed to be holy is holy. A silly truism and nothing more. Danny
You know what I meant. If you feel that it is not said properly, reword it in a way that I will find acceptable. Ezra Wax
No, the Wikipedia project does not have to be acceptable to you. If anything, try and reword it in such a way that it is acceptable to other people, or else they will keep removing it. Danny
:Ezra, with comments like that you aren't making friends among the neutrals here.
Actually, I have no problem with its removal. I thought he simply defaced the page like he did before. Ezra Wax
----
I added a link to Biblical Canon, an article that I believe addresses this issue:
:Holy books are books whose religious authority is unquestioned. A book that may have been controversial in the past, can have its controversies resolved and become Holy.
:The Talmud quotes controversies surrounding some of the books of Tanach and explains how they were resolved.
in a non-tautological and informative way.  Therefore, I cut the above stuff.  I also deleted the following:
:It should be noted that the meaning of sefer, like that of book, has changed with time, as books were originally written in manuscript form and on scrolls.
because it seems trivial.  My Hebrew is awfully fuzzy, but I have a vague recollection that the root for sefer is much like the English word "account" and is related to counting.  Perhaps a better translation of Sefer into English is story or account.  In any case, I do not think that the Hebrew word itself requires a particular form (bound, floio, or scroll).  I would have no objection to adding to the article the sentence, "A sefer may be hand-written or printed; in scroll, folio, or bounded form" although that really just sounds trivial to me.  Slrubenstein
You're right, of course. The root consonants, S.P.R., actually mean cut (this still exists in the Hebrew word for barber sappar), transformed to count (something to do with how numbers were once marked), then got to mean telling over (sippur is story), which evolved into book. Danny
This is ridiculous. We need to stop Ezra Wax's campaign to turn Wikipedia into a Hebrew and Yiddish dictionary. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Consider this a vote to delete this non-article. --RK
I agree. Wikipedia is not a dictionary and we also tend to title things in English. Isn't there a stub Hebrew wiki that needs some attention? --mav 19:30 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)
While I have no problem per se with having hebrew title when there is no english equivant, I don't think that this article has anything to say.  It should be deleted.  Jon513 09:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
