Talk:Waldorf education

message: Querying the word "many" in this sentence in the lead: "Many Waldorf schools have faced controversy due to Steiner's connections to racist ideology and magical thinking."
Only a very few are mentioned in the body, and any conclusion like "many" should be confirmed by a reliable source. Butterfly or Chuang Tzu? (talk) 19:15, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Many schools"...or just a few? 

message: There have been positive and negative aspects of Waldorf education's reception. The last paragraph of the lede looks only at negative aspects. These critiques should rather be integrated into the Reception section, where both sides can be presented in a balanced way.
If desired, a brief, balanced summary of both sides of the reception could then be added back into the lede. Butterfly or Chuang Tzu? (talk) 06:56, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reception 

message: I have provisionally removed descriptions of events in individual schools from this section, as it seems too particular: if we were to mention every time a single Waldorf school hit the news, whether positively or negatively, it would overwhelm the article.  I am preserving this material here, however, in case someone wants to make the case for keeping it in. Butterfly or Chuang Tzu? (talk) 17:10, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that a well-cited list of incidents is more neutral than a vague general statement. Also it seems your edits softened some of the language around the Waldorf School's anti-vax problem. Simonm223 (talk) 21:31, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  The issue of race raised in particular schools 

message: In 2019 a school in Christchurch, New Zealand began considering removing "Rudolf Steiner" from the name of the school "so that the our best ideals are not burdened by historical, philosophical untruths." In 2014, after an investigation by the NZ Ministry of Education, a small school on the Kāpiti Coast of New Zealand was cleared of teaching racist theories. An independent investigation concluded that while there were no racist elements in the curriculum, the school needed to make changes in the "areas of governance, management and teaching to ensure parents' complaints were dealt with appropriately in the future...[and that]...the school must continue regular communication with the school community regarding the ongoing work being undertaken to address the issues raised and noted that the board has proactively sought support to do this."

Talk:Orthodox file manager

message: Who dreamed up this definition? A Google search for "Orthodox file manager" yelds a measly 305 results. Moreover, there is NO MENTION of this thing in the Jargon file. The term "orthodox" is NEVER mentioned in GNU Midnight Commander 's home page.

replies: text: I think everyone knows your opinion.  You're not getting very far by writing (unsigned) criticism all over this page.  We had the AFD following the comments from 88.149.168.128.  Since then, there seems to have been two complaints about the name of this article & both came from anonymous IPs.  I think that deletion of this article is unlikely, but we do have a process for that if it is something you believe so strongly in.  A move might be more reasonable, since the article (while not well written) is hardly "nonsense" & does describe something worth describing.  I don't think anyone would argue that "orthodox file manager" isn't a neologism.  However, it is a useful one.  It has been adopted on the interwikis, by DMOZ, and by others.  --Karnesky 23:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: ?

message: I'm not familiar with this subject, so I don't dare edit the page, but I find the wording so poor that I can't concentrate on the subject matter.  Would somebody kindly correct the confusion over windows and panels, at least?  "Windows called panels" makes no sense.  If you're going to call windows panels, what are you going to call panels?
Incidentally, the controversy over the use of "orthodox" is trivial, in my opinion.  Somebody probably chose the word for its meaning, perhaps without realizing that "ordinary," "conventional," "plain," or "simple" would have served the purpose, but with more common words.
In Windows, the usual key for switching among panes (Are panes synonymous with panels?) is F6.  Does this key behave differently in file managers of this sort? D021317c 22:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bilge pump

message: Of seems to be neglecting the main purpose of bilge pumps, especially in older days. Ships leaked water significantly, and frequently took on a lot of water during rough weather through waves and the working of the seams. Without a bilge pump, they'd capsize or founder before getting to port. When boats were smaller, they'd bail by hand, but with decked vessels, a pump is required.  The other purposes were subsidiary, or for specialized use in certain types of vessels (such as supplying water to preserve fish; that's obviously only for fishing boats), yet the article only makers the briefest mention of it, after discussing the other uses. A bilge pump is used to empty a vessel of water, but it can be used for other things as well; that's what it should say. Oh, and more on the history of bilge pumps would be nice, different forms, how they were operated, etc..45Colt 16:32, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians for Decency

message: The votes section alone is 81 kilobytes long. I had to reload the page four times to get to see my recent edit. This discussion needs further splitting into sections. — JIP | Talk 04:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Needs splitting 

message: It's been mentioned, but I'd like to spell it out: the way I see it, the only possible outcome of this VfD is "no consensus". This is so regardless of whether either Keep or Delete votes manage to reach a "majority". Even if there should be a majority in favor of deleting the project page, for example, that doesn't close the discussion on the idea itself. Contrariwise, if the page is kept that doesn't imply the project in its current form is officially sanctioned by the community. (I already dread future discussions of the form "you are just editing this project page/article because you didn't get your way at the VfD", but that's unavoidable.)
In short, this VfD is a waste of time, but we already knew that. I expect much less people to be interested in actually working towards  constructive consensus on this issue, which is good, since it'll mean less flamewars. Meanwhile, sit back and enjoy the opinion show. JRM · Talk 12:32, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consulting magic 8-ball: "concentrate and ask again"

And with this tally box that has shown up? Will surely have lots of
spurious non-vote edits to update it.  Whichever admin will
decipher the edits and properly close this Vfd when it's over will 
deserve a prize, at this rate... --Mysidia (talk) 05:04, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "suspiciously"? You're welcome at any time to count up the votes yourself. I think it irrational and a violation of Wikipedia: Assume Good Faith to get suspicious about something so easily checkable. Perhaps your intuition is wrong, or perhaps it just happens to have a unusually low variance, or perhaps there's other effects going on.

Hey if you look up blacklight bodypaint and dayglo paint it is shocking how much you can find. I had not even thought to look up the word until I saw this paint live at the day of the dead. The lady painting faces was wearing it and painting glow paint on herself and others. 
I think the link you consider spam is a cool one but, I think if you look up the Day Of The Dead in Fort Worth 2007 you will probably find that photos or info on the lady that painted there. That was really art more than I have ever seen.
If you can find her page or information on her can you please let us know. I have tried but, I keep getting old events. This was just this year in 2007. All I found was one page on a dallas newspaper and only one photo.

* Blacklight Theatre company of Prague - they were going in the '80s and fairly significant culturally, certainly significant in terms of UV art

Wikipedia talk:Category names/Archive: Summary of poll started August 4, 2005

message: I've closed the poll as per the deadline, but I've never done a summary before so forgive me if this is wrong.  I'll give my reading of the poll and offer it for discussion.
Proposal 1:
I'd say one person might actually be voting for depending on the case, given the support for Wikipedia:Naming conventions (country-specific topics), which has caveats.  The nationality in all cases is dead in the water, which leaves what is pretty much a tie between depending on case and all by country.  
Proposal 2:
I'd say United States/United Kingdom came out on top there, I count 22 out of 30 votes, 73%. However, 14 people explicitly mention American/British for adjectival usage, and I'd argue the poll was worded badly to discover an adjectival form, if one was desired.
Proposal 3:
63% support.
Proposal 4a:
50-50
Proposal 4b:
58% support.
Proposal 4c:
62% support.
Proposal 5:
3 votes all support.
Proposal 6:
6 votes expressing distaste for adjectives, which may well counter the 14 promoting them on proposal 2.
I guess my summary would be that this proposal is finely split, and if we desire a standard, both sides have to move.  What are the other thoughts.  I propose a period of further discussion of ten days before another poll is proposed, unless consensus is reached in the mean time. Hiding  talk 19:54, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Summary

message: The compromise that the result suggests to me seems to be using nationality for people and people related categories, (artists, etc.), and "of country" or "in country" depending on context for all else.    That means finding an agreed upon standard of nationality for every country, so we could add nationalitys from the CIA factbook to Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Category:By nationality,  and adopt Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Category:By country for country decisions. An alternative to using the CIA factbook is to contact each countries embassy and ask them their preferred term for nationality in the English language. Hiding  talk 19:54, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
