I do not consider Mati -ur rehman to be a Hero.Hero's do not Hijack the planes !What do you call another guy hijacking BAF plane to India in future ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sohail2506 (talk • contribs) 
:Well, that's your POV. In 1971, in the eye of Pakistan Army, the Mukti Bahini and other forces fighting for the independence of Bangladesh were just insurgents, separatists etc. Similarly, to the eye of the British, George Washington was a rebel leader. But to the Bangladeshis, Matiur is a hero, and similarly to the Americans, George Washington is one of the founding fathers of the nation.  Try to look into the issue with colorblind eyes. Thanks. --Ragib 17:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said, that is your POV. Matiur Rahman wanted freedom for his own nation. By the way, the plane Rahman hijacked was as much East Pakistan's as was West's, and most likely it was bought with the large revenue earned from East Pakistan, since EP earned the majority of export earnings anyway. --Ragib 19:34, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Homo economicus

message: The concept of 'Homo Economicus' includes just those feelings that are common to people and to rats, along with other mammals and birds. So it should be Rattus economicus, a rat-race that is typically won by rats.
 
What's lacking from the model is sympathy, the vital human quality that allows people to work as a group even when any one of them could do better by cheating on the others.
 
This is explicable by natural selection, in as much as groups of hominids who sympathised would do better together than hominids who cheated each other. This would also require a strong reaction to cheats, but that too is very human.

thread_title:  Rattus economicus 

message: By now, WP contains an impressive wealth of information on the controversy surrounding the model. I am afraid the criticisms and responses sections are somewhat confusing, though -- quite a few paragraphs may belong to the other section, or to both. I am wondering if, instead of splitting criticisms/responses, we could split by issue (e.g. empirical studies / sociology / intrinsic motivation / self-fulfilling prophecy / ...) and discuss the pros and cons per issue.

thread_title:  Presentation issues  

message: The quotation seems to imply Aristotle would support the definition of Man as a "rational, self-interested, labor-averse individual" or at the very least agree with the self-interest of economic man.
While man may clearly have a level of self interest, for Aristotle man is fundamentally a Political Animal. Thus he considers our main drive is that of forming a community with virtuous laws and justice. He also denies that humans can be self sufficient from the wider community. 
The quote also makes it seem Aristotle supports private property as it is commonly conceived.  The section directly before the quote however says 
"And yet by reason of goodness, and in respect of use, 'Friends,' as the proverb says, 'will have all things common.'" 
 
And
"It is clearly better that property should be private, but the use of it common; and the special business of the legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition.". 
Thus his conception of private property is that which is privately maintained but available for use by the community at large.

Talk:Locally constant function

message: I was going to add another example, but I can't remember now. Something to do with vector space dimensions; you have a topological space, "over" every point there's a vector space, and the dimensions are locally constant. Vector bundle isn't it, since there the fibers are all isomorphic to the same vector space and so the dimension function is even constant. AxelBoldt 17:02, 24 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Talk:Antenna theory

message: Content of this discussion blanked, since the page was blanked.
If anyone wants to see it, it's in history.
Previous revision of Antenna theory was inaccurate at best, and a general
description of antennas without any theory at worst.
This page is now a place holder for a real page on Antenna Theory.
A real page on antenna theory should cover the topics seen in an antenna theory course, including but not limited to how antnnas work, how (details) to change an antenna's properties, how to design an antenna, etc.  Perhaps some day (of someone doesn't beat me to it), I'll study this and write something up.  --ssd 05:20, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Durango

message: The pronunciation seems wrong to me. It looks as if someone has converted the SAMPA to IPA without realising that the SAMPA incorrectly used ' instead of " to indicate the stressed syllable; the ' seems to have been taken literally as indicating palatalization, and has been converted to a usperscript j but from my limited knowledge of Spanish this seems very unlikely to be correct! rossb 09:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the author of the last comment has misunderstood the use of the IPA character indicating the main stress, which is placed before the syllable in question, rather than after it.

Talk:Mural

message: The first few sentences are confusing (me).
First: Mural = art on a permanent wall
Second: Has to incorporate architecture harmoniously
Third: Wallpainting may be done on canvas and then attached to the wall
So now I remain wondering ... Is a mural the same as a wall painting or even a wall painting just one kind of mural ? And what about that second requirement ? Is a wall painting that does not incorporate any architecture not a mural ? I think that could/should be expressed in such a way that the reader understands it without any doubt remaining.

message: It is unfortunate that the article was essentially blanked last November, as a number of news sources can now be found on the internet following the death of the club's founder, Mayuan Mak, in December. I don't blame the editor at all, it was done in good faith, and they can't be expected to have a crystal ball. It's just unfortunate.
Rather than restore any of the page as-is, I would suggest that the article be merged with the Electrowerkz article, as has been suggested in the past. It is I think impossible to separate the two, especially looking at the recent sources that have appeared.
I know it is unlikely any editors will see this, but I thought I would make this note on the talk page here before I look at the article history (to preserve the original text for re-writing and referencing) and the proper procedure for merging. H. Carver (talk) 23:47, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Odysseus

message: in the presence of edits trying to connect odysseus to semitic languages or even sumerian culture, i tried to point out that odysseus and odin looking the same is probably not a coincidence, and it was removed. i stand by that edit.
the greek language comes from the north of europe, not from the middle east. greek words share a common root with german and russian, not with hebrew and arabic. the origins of these stories are in proto-indo-european. that is obvious. so, if you're looking for deeper connections, you should look to german mythology, and not to ancient semitic religion. 
the proto-indo-european root for odin is "rage", whereas the pie root for odysseus is "hate". odysseus and odin have a great many similarities, in both being extrapolations of the hermes archetype. it is also curious that odin and odysseus both share derivations of poetry in their respective daughter languages.
this is nor original, exactly, but it's not accepted, either. it is a better idea than trying to connect it to sumeria, for the obvious reason that the languages are incomparable, and it's a several thousand year gap, with no intervention.
the strong similarities in the mythologies of the indo-european peoples has long been observed. it is not helpful to look towards distant (both geographically and temporally) sumeria, when there are closer comparisons in time and space, unless you have a political agenda your'e advancing.
i will let somebody else write this up. 107.179.229.114 (talk) 19:54, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Hawaiian Ocean View, Hawaii

message: Someone tried to indicate that these are really all the same place, but was reverted. Right now it looks like the CDP was called "Hawaiian Ocean View" in 2000 Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) id 2414037, with the populated places of "Hawaiian Ocean View" and "Hawaiian Ocean View Estates" (the first subdivision in the area) also in the GNIS as ids 1867253 and 1905339 respectively, all with coordinates very close but not exactly the same. HOVE is notable for being one of the largest subdivisions in the world at the time. As discussed before, "Hawaii Ocean View" should probably also redirect as "Hawaii Ocean View Estates" does for completeness.
The US Post Office calls the whole area just "Ocean View" (since the county and state are already named "Hawaii"), and that is the name now used by local residents. 
In my opinion, there should be one article called "Ocean View, Hawaii" that talks about both the history of HOVE and the CDP info, with the others all redirecting to it. But suspect if I did that it would be reverted again. So do we leave the misleading info until the 2010 census data comes out?

Talk:Wolverine (character)

message: Presently the intro paragraph identifies Wolverine as solely a character, with a note suggesting that whether he is considered a superhero or an antihero is subjective. While he has antiheroic traits, there are certainly hundreds of sources that characterize him as a superhero. E.g. "Wolverine superhero" gets 139,000 hits on Google whereas "Wolverine antihero" gets 742. I think the intro sentence should designate him as a superhero, and then the later sections in the page elaborate the unusual aspects of the character that make him an antihero.

replies: text: From what I've seen across Wikipedia, there has never been an instance where a character's fictional biography had its own page. And honestly, it never should. One of the main criteria of Wikipedia is notability; providing real-world information about things, including fictional characters. Having a page just for Wolverine's biography, by its very nature, would not provide any of that real-world info. The best thing to do is trim the Biography section as much as possible.
