Talk:Great Plains culture

message: re:'The buffalo were moved to Yellowstone National Park and to a certain extent have recovered from the abuse of man, but it is unlikely that they will ever be as numerous as before'
:er, the above line struck me as somewhat POV. (That is, before I read all the comments on this page, where I see that rather a lot more is under debate). Another wiki page even suggests that the indians might have cleared the prairie with fire, thus permitting the buffalo to expand. That sounds more like buffalo benefitting from the acts of man. Aside from that, the line seems to imply that having 100,000,000 buffalo roaming the plains again would be a good thing. I can't imagine that this would be a good thing, given that the plains are now occupied. I thing it inconceivable that they will become as numerous as before, but this last bit while factually probably accurate is really just POV. Sandpiper 14:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Counts and dukes of Aumale

message: Is there any evidence that the title was created for Edward by Richard II in his role as King of France?  I've never heard this, and I'm not specifically aware that Richard II was even claiming to be King of France in 1397.  He'd just made peace with the French the year before.  My understanding is that the English kings' consistent use of the King of France title only came after the death of Charles VI in 1422, and was based on the Treaty of Troyes, not the earlier claims of Edward III. 02:23, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. Happily, I found a Usenet message citing the Complete Peerage in re Aumale/Aumarle/Albemarle: "Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, was summoned to Parliament by writ directed "Carissimo Avunculo Regis Thome Duci Albemarlie.  He was declared to be guilty of treason (after death) whereby all his honours were forfeited. Edward, Earl of Rutland, was created Duke of Aumale on 29 Sep. 1397.  [CP 1:351-8]" According to the Encyclopedia Anglicana, this was in 1385, but he did not use the style thereafter. My favorite page for citing titulary shows Richard II using the style "Richard, by the grace of God King of England and France and Lord of Ireland" in 1378, 1386, 1390, etc.; it seems to have been consistently used 1369–1420; then dropped by the Treaty of Troyes, and resumed in 1422. Additional samples on the page include Thomas of Woodstock in 1390 (refers to himself only as Duke of Gloucester, Count of Buckingham & Essex, and Constable of England) and Thomas of Lancaster in 1413 (Duke of Clarence and Count of Aumarle). Hope this helps with the Anglo-French business. Choess 19:53, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Dendrophilia

message: No reputable references from normal sexology authors about such kind of paraphilia. I browsed several thousand webpages to find a minimal rerefence to something remotely serious.

replies: text: I see. "Dendrophilia" as a paraphilia has had some press in Sweden and Norway in the last days because of a new book coming out, so I just assumed verifiability based on the scientific sound of it (which is clearly not sufficient!) and the age of this article under the paraphilia category. The lack of citable material may be due to lack of research into an unusual subject, or indeed (as Occam's Razor would suggest) perhaps "dendrophilia" is not scientifically regarded as paraphilic.

message: I think it is a good category to have. This page is small, its true, but categories help people find exactly what they're looking for. Most people are looking for something specific and don't want to read the entire article - no matter how small. I know it was a badly written title, but i hoped that people would *fix* it - not delete it. Can I put the title back in as "Combinations of Symmetric property and other properties" ? Wordy but i can't think of anything better right now. I sorta actually like my original better - more succinct. Fresheneesz 05:19, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Properties "containing" relation

message: Regarding this:
    Note that symmetry is not the logical opposite of antisymmetry....
    There are  no relations which are both symmetric and antisymmetric...,
    there are relations which are neither symmetric nor antisymmetric...,
    there are relations which are symmetric and not antisymmetric...,
    and there are relations which are not symmetric but are anti-symmetric....
In order to show that two terms are not logical opposites of each other,
it suffices to show that something either satisfies both or fails
to satisfy both.  Showing that something satisfies one and not the other
does not serve the purpose of showing that the terms are not logical
opposites of each other.

If we want to preserve the spoiler, at least hang it down lower.
#The Seventh Doctor not being mentioned - but he is, in the plot section. If you look at the other episodic articles, we have it there as well. I've actually been toying with the idea of doing an infobox for the CDs like the television stories... perhaps that might be a solution.
