Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Primates

message: The redirect Pan-Primates has been nominated at RfD, and the discussion would benefit from input from those with knowledge of the subject area. Please comment at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 November 25#Pan-Primates. Thryduulf (talk) 13:19, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The Primatomorpha and Plesiadapiformes articles need attention. The taxobox at Primatomorpha effectively treats Pan-Primates as a synonym of a redefined Plesiadapiformes including the crown group. The Plesiadapiformes article starts by describing them as an extinct basal pan-Primates group, sister to the rest of Pan-Primates, but then has cladograms treating it as synonym of Pan-Primates or Primatomorpha, including all the stem taxa and the crown group. Has the traditional treatment defined Plesiadapiformes a distinct group of stem taxa (are there others?) or a paraphalytic grade excluding the crown? And has it been formally recircumscribed to include the crown? —  Jts1882 | talk  10:25, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Definition of terrorism/Archive 1

message: I would argue that the specific selection of civilians as targets is not a "commonly held" criteria of the definition of terrorism.  The US Department of Defense defines terrorism as:
::the unlawful use of - or threatened use of - force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives.
Meanwhile, Title 22 of the United States Code, Section 2656f(d) defines terrorism as:
::premediated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience.
The FBI defines terrorism as:
::The unlawful use of or threatned use of force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives.
In fact, one survey of definitions found that only 17.5% of 109 governmental and academic definitions of terrorism require "civilians, noncombatants, neutrals, outsiders as victims". (Alex P. Schmid, ALbert J. Jongman et. al., Political Terrorism: A New guide to Actors, Authors, Concepts, Databases, Theories, and Literature, New Brunswick, Transaction Books, 1988, pp. 5-6)

thread_title:  Civilians Not Common Requirement 

message: :Some hold that a legitimate government cannot, by definition, commit terrorism on its own territory.
Who are some? What is a legitimate government? What is own territory?
I can give half a dozen or more examples of an English government committing terrorism withing the confines of its borders on its own people over the last 1000 years.  Starting with William the Conqueror's  harrowing of the North which was so severe that when the Domesday Book was recorded over 10 years later, areas were still bereft of all life. It did however stop any further uprisings by the Saxons and English Danes. The last of a UK government was probably some of the actions of the Black and Tans in Ireland during the earlier "troubles" of the 20th Centuary. I am sure that many others could do the same for most nations which have been around for 1000 years or more. Eg From Russia with love, Ivan the Terrible and Stalin are a couple of terrorists who spring to mind.  The Reign of Terror (1793–1794) of the French Revolution is another example.

replies: text: I do not think these are hoaxes at all. Melanesians to this day have multiple Croatian words such as mali, veli, debeli, kotar, boca, kolo, kanap, palenta. Furthermore there are numerous slavic toponyms from the Bismarck Archipeligo to the Solomon Islands to Vanuatu. E.g. island of Siroti (poor people) and island of Jame (caves). There is also a bay of Buka (noisy bay). Then in the Solomons there are volcanoes Kula (tower) and Kollovrat (round neck). There is even a cape called "Sokolovi" (falcons). There are many more I have not listed. Vice Bune Petrov was a decorated naval commander who not only mastered the Indian Ocean through his travels to Goa but frequented the Pacific from the Philippines to Vanuatu. Much of the documentation on his travels in the Pacific are located in the archives of Dubrovnik, and also some in Spain. A lack of knowledge among the colonialist encyclopaedias of the west is not a reason to dismiss this as an hoax. Tommy1441 (talk) 12:41, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

This item seems to have been interpolated simply for the sake of 'doing something.' Just checked on a hunch.

What in the world does that first sentence even mean?  There was speculation that it was a parody?  That doesn't make sense.  If a critic calls it a parody, then it's a parody -- at least, according to that critic.  I would also like to know the source of that second sentence.
