Talk:Maieutics

message: If you syllabificate (you separate the word into syllables) you get the trisyllable [ma·ieu·tic]
Using the International Phonetic Alphabet the pronunciation of such word is:

thread_title:  Pronunciation? 

message: I suggest that this article needs labels warning about the lack of references or citations. Some of the assertions appear questionable and need support.
For example:
"The first text of the Plato dialogues in chronological order to link Maieutics to Socrates is Symposium." But the chronology of Plato's dialogues is a matter of longstanding controversy, and there are numerous suggested sequences, as the Wikipedia article on Plato makes clear.
"This method is an evolution of the technical methods of Orphism." This statement implies that detailed knowledge of Orphic practices and methods exists. If so, it would be very helpful to know where it can be found. The Wikipedia article on Orphism suggests (properly, in my opinion) that our knowledge about this subject is in fact quite limited.
"In philosophy the concept of Maieutics is mistakenly linked to the historic [sic] Socrates." By whom? And is it really so certain that it's a mistake?

Talk:Material selection

message: For a such a general topic as material selection, I don't see the need for such an emphasis on one professor and his software company. For example, everyone calls "Ashby" charts tradeoff charts. There is no need for special terminology. The caption of a figure is "Plot using Ashby's own CES Selector software." Why not "Tradeoff chart of density verses Young's modulus"?
This was written by the owner of CES selector, and it certainly reads like it.

Talk:Earl Nelson

message: The usual sources seem to have the eldest son, incorrectly but hardly unusually, using 'Viscount Trafalgar' throughout the C19 but switching to Viscount Merton in the C20 sometime.

replies: text: The 4th and 5th Earls had an elder brother, Herbert Horatio, Viscount Trafalgar, who died before his father, the 3rd Earl — is it possible the future 4th Earl switched to "Viscount Merton" on his death to avoid using the same title as his late brother?

message: On the April 16, 1941 broadcast of The Texaco Star Theater (The Fred Allen Show), Gargantua's trainer, Richard Kroner was the guest.  One of the physical features described was that Gargantua did not have a nose.  The explanation why he didn't have a nose was because of an accident when Gargantua was a baby, but it could be because of the acid attack.  He also said that Gargantua was 550 pounds, 5 foot 7 inches tall.Jtyroler (talk) 22:54, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Picture of Jambo

message: This section reads "Jambo stood guard over the boy when he was unconscious, placing himself between the boy and other gorillas in what ethnologists analyze as a protective gesture".
But, exactly who has analysed this as "a protective gesture"?  How do we know that Jambo was standing guard, the problem being that we can't ask him what he was doing, he was a gorilla!
I'd suspect much of this is conjecture, based upon the media emotionalising the story. Danrok (talk) 00:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This needs a source. Also, it says "ethologist," not "ethnologist." An ethologist studies animal behaviour, and there are obviously no circumstances in which they could "ask" an animal what they're doing. They learn why animals do things by studying behavioural patterns. It would be pretty easy to distinguish between a protective gesture and, say, an aggressive one.203.214.80.117 (talk) 14:51, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

message: A phrase under the origins of Jambo's family reads "...

Talk:Ridin' Dirty

message: The song Ridin' Dirty and the album are totally different, so i think the online phenomenon should be moved to Chamillionaire's Ridin' Dirty. {{subst:Unsigned|
The Chamillionaire song is called Ridin'. He shortened the name out of respect for the album, which is one of his favorites. Therefore "Ridin Dirty" should redirect to the album, while "Ridin" should redirect to the song. A link is at the top in case they were looking for the song. I should also add that this is one of the most -In my opinion, the most- important albums to Texas hip-hop, even if sadly obscure elsewhere. I will try to improve it soon.

replies: text: The  template describes a simple situation which can be resolved through one decidedly un-simple action — removing all of the content added by the editor who is suspected of having a personal or professional relationship to the subject. COI editing is a lot like spilling a can of purple paint on beige carpeting — it cannot just be vacuumed and then found to be clean. All of the carpet must be ripped out and replaced with newer carpet. The action of removing large portions of text in any article is a drastic step not favored by most editors, so in most cases the only pathway towards maintenance template removal is blocked by an editor's caution not to disturb much of an article's already established content, even if it was added by the COI editor. That is how many  templates are allowed to remain for so long. The only way forward is to have the text added by the COI editor removed and then carefully rewritten and re-added to the article by a third party. This would technically resolve the issue at hand because then and only then could it be stated that no text was added by an editor with a close connection to the subject.
