Talk:B. Alan Wallace

message: Recent changes have focused content on the Wallace and broaden the information regarding his scholarly and scientific contributions.  Clarifications regarding the current understanding of consciousness have also been made. The page currently lacks other important details regarding Wallace.  Furthermore, beyond the discussion of Novella's critique, it doesn't clearly assess his work within the broader scholarly, scientific, and religious communities.

replies: text: Thank you Neuroscientist. I'd rather replace the quote I have from him regarding the state of mainstream neuroscience, but it is getting a little too personal between me and Manul, and I'm afraid it would just be a target for deletion.Cuvtixo (talk) 22:56, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

text: and yet you're presenting a kind of "anti-CV". Please show any independent attention outside of the one blog. It seems to me that you're being more of a religious bigot than anything else. Cuvtixo (talk) 16:59, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

text: A. It's not scientific work, it's commentary on present state of science in contrast to practices and philosophy of Tibetan Buddhism. Wallace puts himself forth as an expert in Buddhism and meditation, not science. Furthermore, his work is specifically about meditation and "Tibetan Dream yoga." It is a gross misrepresentation to present his presentation of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy as "pseudoscience." Just as presenting the Dalai Lama's (for whom Wallace served as a translator) views as pseudoscience would not be appropriate- Note one of his major works is: "Consciousness at the Crossroads: Conversations with the Dalai Lama on Brain-science and Buddhism". Edited by B. Alan Wallace, Zara Houshmand & David Livingston. Ithaca: Snow Lion, 1999

Talk:The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp

message: First, The page should be called The Last 10 Pounds Bootcamp.  I dispute speedy deletion of this page.  There are many small American television shows which have their own page and perhaps only a handful of people ever watch; I do not see why Canadian shows should not be given the same courtesy, especially given that this show appears on the Slice network--a network shown all across Canada--and is a popular show.

Talk:Pond fluke

message: Well, I'm no biologist, but I've tried to clean up this pile of crud. To quote an off-wiki observer,
:Is it just me, or does the current Wikipedia explanation of how Pond Flukes appear in stagnant ponds rely on the theory of spontaneous generation, which was discredited, oh, well over a hundred years ago?
Not quite, but close. This page said:
:Pond flukes are the result of extremely dirty still water which has no oxygen flow going into it whatsoever, and bacteria begin to multiply and evolve rapidly. Eventually, they become pond flukes, first starting off as an infant stage. Tiny, and grey. In about a week, if the conditions are right. They grow longer, thick and white. If Pond flukes occur, any other creatures in the body of water, are likely to die off with disease.
This is nonsense. Bacteria do not evolve into trematodes! Flukes are parasites, not free-living waterworms.

message: In Puerto Rico they call Pig's ear Cuajos. Cuajitos is a popular street vendor food found around the island and is most often served with boiled green bananas and blood sausage.
The section was inaccurate, so I deleted it.  In Puerto Rico, the term "cuajo" is used both as slang for people's ears and as the name for a traditional dish of hog maws (not pig ears).  It is understandable, though, how the contributor may have come to the wrong conclusion about to which part of the pig "cuajitos" are.  I will move the text to the "Hog maw" page, where it applies.

thread_title:  Merge 

message: I'm all for being a weeaboo and all, but Rāyu is definitely of Chinese origin. Those with advanced Japanese knowledge will agree that the Japanese themselves consider it Chinese, as can be seen from its unusual first kanji and its pronunciation being similar to modern Mandarin (là yóu). -- 82.113.106.24 (talk) 09:25, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you can find some “reliable” sources on the origins of Rāyu, that would be great.  But, whatever its origins, Rāyu is the Japanese chili oil. (See the more generic article.) Further, note that we are discussing a chili oil, not a peppercorn oil nor an oil infused with Sichuan pepper.  In other words, Rāyu is made with the fruit of a plant from the Americas as a principal ingredient, so clearly there are significant influences from outside both of Japan and of China. —SlamDiego←T 16:15, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Japanese use the same kanji as the Chinese and of course the use of Chili pepper is not exclusive to the Japanese version either.

* Chili oil and ラー油, 辣油 translate to each other on Google Translate.
* en:Chili oil and ja:ラー油 link to each other as counterparts.
* Searching for 辣油 on en: takes me to Chili oil, as it should.
* Only the Japanese variety was under-represented at the Chili oil article.
* Rāyu can be better understood when presented with its international history.
* The article's volume is not nearly significant enough to be deserving of its own spin-off article.

かつて日本では女児の初潮を祝して赤飯を振る舞う家庭もあったが、現在ではこの風習をする家庭は減っている。但し、一部のドラマなどで年頃の女児に赤飯でお祝いするシーンなどが見受けられる場合もあり、視聴者もそのシーンを見て初潮を連想する事から一般的に根付いている赤飯の風習の一つとも言える。上記までの様々な風習でも分かるとおり、赤飯に纏わる風習は形を変えながら日本各地に存在している。

* The person has been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

* Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following.
:: I believe this is verifiable from a perusal of Ysabellabrave's YouTube video comments and responses. 
The case could also be made per WP:MUSIC that Ysabellabrave "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style", namely that of online amateur video singing; however, that would be a bit hard to prove (and the category itself is perhaps non-notable).

Talk:Kaykhusraw III

message: See Talk:Kaykhusraw II for the standard transliteration of the sultan's name in English language academic literature. Aramgar 15:56, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naming 

message: For several months now, there has been some debate as to which spelling of the sultan’s name is the most appropriate title for this article in English Wikipedia. The spelling current in English language academic literature is “Kaykhusraw.” Some Wikipedia editors prefer the Turkish spelling “Keyhüsrev,” which is understandable given the sultan’s role in Anatolian history and Turkish civilization. Still, “Kaykhusraw” is the form most familiar to readers of English, and Wikipedia Naming Conventions suggest that we use this form. Below is a list of credible English language sources. All use the spelling “Kaykhusraw.” The first two books in the list are the essential English language references for the history of the Seljuks of Rum.
 
:*”Kaykhusraw” Speros Vryonis, The Decline of Medieval Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization from the Eleventh through the Fifteenth Century  (University of California Press, 1971), p. 134.
:*”Kaykhusraw” Claude Cahen, Pre-Ottoman Turkey: A General Survey of the Material and Spiritual Culture and History, c. 1071-1330  (Taplinger Publishing, 1968), p. 284.
:*”Kaykhusraw” Stephen Album, Checklist of Islamic Coins, 2nd edition (1998), p. 63.
:*”Kaykhusraw” The Glory of Byzantium: Art and Culture of the Middle Byzantine Era, A.D. 843-1261, edited by Helen C. Evans and William D Wixom (New York: Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1997), p. 416.

:*“Kay-khusraw” The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (Oxford University Press, 1991), vol. 2, p. 1117.

Talk:Kaykaus II

message: The laqab, or honorific, Izzeddin or 'Izz al-Din, is helpful to know, but not strictly important for identifying this ruler. Such laqabs are used throughout the period, and the title 'Izz al-Din, “Glory of Religion,” is assigned to several notable figures in the Seljuq line as well as many contemporaries outside the dynasty.
English language academic literature and numismatic catalogues are satisfied to identify the sultan as either “Kaykaus” or “Kayka’us”. The former seems more elegant. Those with the requisite linguistic skills will not need to consult Wikipedia. Aramgar 16:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
