message: *Svend-Allan Sørensen - apparently a person of little importance --Smack 04:02, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I was browsing web.archive.org looking at Wikipedia as it was 10 years ago when I stumbled upon this at http://web.archive.org/web/20040123205659/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_Deletion. Stunningly, it managed to get kept with only 3 keeps out of 10 votes, with such rationales as "This guy exists and is a practicing artist. Not for us to decide if he's the next Picasso" or no rationale at all. These were the days when Wikipedia had no BLP policy, no strongly enforced notability or verifiability policy, and you could "vote" delete or keep for any reason whatsoever at "Votes for Deletion"--and still it only managed to survive by the skin of its teeth. 
Even more stunningly,  the article is still in Wikipedia ten years later, the one-sentence stub has received nothing but cosmetic edits, no one has added sources, and no one has ever attempted to delete it. I think this is technically not eligible for CSD or BLP-PROD due to its age and the fact it survived a deletion decision, archived at Talk:Svend-Allan Sørensen. In any case, it's an unreferenced BLP and there is no indication of notability. 117.199.191.163 (talk) 10:14, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Sona (constructed language)

message: I'm pretty sure Sona is actually an agglutinative language (words are built up from many morphemes) rather than an isolating one.  I've made the change.  If I'm wrong please change it back and explain why here.
:I'm pretty sure it's an isolating language, but I'm not 100% clear on the difference, so I'll try to do some research and get back.
::I can't remember if it was me or not who made the previous response, but: I think it's isolating. All the radicals in Sona can be used as words. They are often mushed together in written form to indicate some juncture, but it's not necessary and doesn't change the meaning. The following all mean "What is your name?":
:::ke ha ni tu. (what) (name) (passive) (you)
:::ke hani tu.
:::kehanitu.
::The 36 indicators are frequently used as prefixes and suffixes, but can also be used as their own words. Anyways, I'm going to change this to isolating again, unless someone can give a better explanation. I don't think Sona is agglutinative in the way Esperanto is, where -is (past tense verb suffix) can't stand on its own as a word. In Sona, to is used to indicate past tense, but can also be used on its own.
:::mi pa to suven. (I) (eat) (past) (water) (grain) = I ate rice.
:::an to lenocia. (she) (pass) (write) (carry) (agent) (place) = She passes the post office.

message: The following paragraph is bizarrely self-referential:
:: James Underdown explains Hyman's maxim: "Don't try to explain HOW something works until you find out THAT it works." Hyman's maxim was named by James Alcock.
Notice that in this paragraph, we are told many things about a certain maxim.  We are told that its name is "Hyman's maxim", and that this name was given by James Alcock.  We are given a quotation from James Undertown explaining Hyman's maxim to those who find it hard to understand.  
But what we are NOT told is what Hyman's maxim actually is, and where (or whether) Ray Hyman said it.
The maxim can be found on the internet here, and on Wikipedia here.  According to these sources, the maxim is "Do not try to explain something until you are sure there is something to be explained."
That's why I wonder if this is all a joke by some meta-obsessed fan.  Do not try to interpret Hyman's maxim until you are sure that there is a maxim to be explained....   207.140.48.106 (talk) 22:21, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

message: :>>"He returned to teaching at Harvard in 1945, but realized he would not gain tenure there..."
I am not sure how long Harvard has had its unprincipled position of hiring bright newly-minted PhDs, assigning them a ton of work, and then denying them tenure due to "insufficient published work"...It is my understanding that most tenured faculty does not earn tenure, but is hired into a tenured position. 
Further, mention must be made of an even more grievous failing -- that of joining in the witch hunts of the McCarthy period, while giving lip service to academic freedom (see, e.g., the story of their shameful treatment of Ray Ginger). --Jose Ramos 07:14, 25 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Wolf interval

message: :For instance, if the base note for tuning the scale is C, this interval is from G♯ to E♭.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that G#-Eb is wolf fith for D-based pythagorian tune. For C we obtain fifths-circle sequence
Gb Db Eb Bb F C G D A E B F#
so Gb is not enharmonical to F#. So it appears to me that wolf fifts in this case are F#-Db, B-Gb. --Veprbl (talk) 00:35, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Partially true. The sentence is at the same time unnecessarily detailed (in this context), and insufficiently detailed to be completely understood. Therefore, it creates a legitimate doubt, about a topic which is not relevant in this context. Specifying the base note is not enough to determine the endpoints of the stack, unless we say that the stack is "symmetrical", and that the note on the left of the 13-tone stack is removed to form the 12-tone scale (see 1/4-comma meantone#C- based construction tables).
