thread_title: Untitled

message: Parton wrote nine booklets (one is in two parts), all simply typewritten and crudely illustrated (or left unillustrated) between 1961 and 1974. While he did not have the good fortune to see his works published, which they so deserved, as a specialist of chess variants and their history, I have endeavoured to correct that omission.  I have carefully reproduced Parton's integral work, word for word, and designed several explanatory diagrams to support the original text. Some hard to find testimonies and correspondence are included to help better understand the complex personality of this inventor of games. This is available in a single volume book now. More details on my web site: http://history.chess.free.fr/partonchess.html Cazaux (talk) 07:44, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thx. Yes, have already ordered and have the book, very nice work! p.s. After carefully diagramming and setting up Circum Morus for a trial, couldn't get it to work at all (make a first move that made any sense, or any other move; even setting up all the initial pieces was difficult). Is it possible Parton never test-played this game? Or? Respectfully, --IHTS (talk) 02:13, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Clan (video games)

message: I merged Gaming community with this article, as all its content contained the same info, but less of it, and a bunch of clan-specific links. Icemotoboy (talk) 23:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: These was merged the wrong way. Clans (mostly FPS and some RTS) and Guilds (mostly MMORPG and variety of other RPGs) almost unfailingly referring themselves Gaming Communities, or Online Gaming Communities. In addition there are Communities that refuse either label taking other less used group terms, or just calling to themselves as just Gaming Communities. To make this a real article there needs to be more general term and then make the distinctions and contrast in the article. Despyria (talk) 22:24, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merged Article 

message: This might just be me, but I feel this section suggests that the concept of a clan/guild originated in FPS gaming.  Not that I claim to have the answer as to when this concept began, but it would most certainly not have begun in a genre that only came to Internet connectivity in the 1990s, versus games with online pedigrees stretching back into the 1970s.  Still, this might just be me reading too much into the phrasing. 74.109.121.154 (talk) 00:04, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: To add a source to this, Computer Gaming World issue #29 (June/July 1986) has an article by Patricia Fitzgibbons about CompuServe's proto-MMORPG "Island of Kesmai" that discusses how players form teams with names like "The Adventurer's Guild" and then append the initials of that name to the end of their character's handle, pretty much exactly how people began doing it in FPSs later. 74.109.121.154 (talk) 17:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

message: From the article:

thread_title:  Examples 

message: I added the word "sentence" (closed formula) to the disjunction property and to the existence property. About the disjunction property, I think that it doesn't hold (at least in some versions of) Heyting arithmetic if the formula \phi \vee \psi isn't closed: for example, (a version of) Heyting arithmetic proves x = 0 \vee x \neq 0 but doesn't prove x = 0 and doesn't prove x \neq 0. About the existence property, I think that is just a matter of convention to assume that the formula \exists x\colon \phi(x) is closed. (I'm assuming that the term theorem doen't imply that the formula is closed — I hope that I got this right). Jayme 15:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The formulas must be sentences

message: John Myhill (1973) showed that IZF with the axiom of Replacement eliminated in favor of the axiom of Collection has the disjunction property, the numerical existence property, and the existence property.
What does it mean? If I understand it correctly, the language of IZF has no function symbols (including constants) in its signature. Thus, the only kind of terms are variables. Existence property declares, that for the theorem \exists x~\varphi(x) the theorem \varphi(t) exists, where t is some term. But "some term" can only be a variable. Therefore, the theorem \varphi(x) exists. What's wrong?

message: Both the current citations (#16 and #17) for this subtopic,  are to HighBeam pages. HighBeam is a paid-subscription site that archives newspaper articles. This means that without paying for a subscription to HighBeam other editors cannot check whether or not the cited article, archived by HighBeam, supports the claim made in the Wikipedia article. Often, articles that are archived on HighBeam may be accessed elsewhere, either on the website of the original publisher or on another website that offers free access to archived articles. In many cases, the same story has been covered by a different publication, sometimes more accurately or in more depth or detail, and continues to be freely available. Hence, in this instance the Wikipedia article subtopic, the cancellation of Mercury's appearance at the 2005 Vatican Concert , requires citations to sources that are more easily accessible and verifiable.124.186.93.5 (talk) 03:06, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Michael Dukakis

message: Hi. The template near the end of the page lists him as being preceded by Sumner Z. Kaplan and succeeded by James G. Wheeler in the 10th Norfolk district, then preceded by nobody and succeeded by Jon Rotenberg in the 13th Norfolk district. He was apparently in office in the body continuously, so the infobox just lists him as being in office from 1965 to 1971, and being preceeded by Kaplan and succeeded by Rotenberg, and having a different district from 1965 on. How can this be fixed so Wheeler is listed? DemonDays64 (talk) 02:40, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Improving this article.  

message: [...] Dukakis is the oldest living former losing presidential candidate, and is the last one from the 20th century (outside of incumbents).
A few points:
* Is a source cited for this in the body? I didn't look.
* The twentieth century ended on December 31, 2000, and Al Gore is still alive.
* I take it that outside of incumbents is an allusion to Jimmy Carter (and Poppy Bush, too, while he was still alive) and I guess the rest excludes candidates who ran for POTUS but failed to win the Democratic or Republican nomination, and the candidates in the general election from minor parties. I think these qualifications are too significant to include this trivia in the article. (And if I recall correctly, Wikipedia policy frowns on trivia.)

Talk:De facto

message: Since this article is about a term of law, any statement that de facto is "not necessarily" the opposite of de jure needs to be cited; this is not presently the case. De facto, when speaking about a term of law, has never, to my knowledge, been used with the phrase "not necessarily" or any equivalent when contrasting with de jure. These authoritative sources do not include this distinction, and it should not be present here unless there is a cite:

message: I'm befuddled about the phrase "All citizens shall have the right to oppose resistance to those committing the acts of force"; it appears to contradict the intent of Article 36.  This is the actual text from the link, but I find it difficult to believe that the framers of that constitution bothered to put in a clause to protect the allies of those who use violence to overthrow the constitutional government.  It seems more plausible that the original intent was to provide explicit protection for those who resist overthrow of the constitutional government and that tere was a typo. perhaps in the english translation.

thread_title:  Politics 

message: Hi, , just a comment that it is not necessarily the case that de facto is generally italicized anymore in English. Several style guides, for instance, clearly state this to be the case (, ). It's not explicitly stated, but the same thing is done elsewhere, including Chicago Manual of Style and nytimes. I'm sure you can find any number of examples pointing the other way too, but I think it's unfair to say unconditionally that it *should* always be italicized, as sources clearly seem to disagree. I'm fine with either way, honestly, just in case you weren't aware. Eddie891  Talk Work  17:59, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Not quite sure what this was originally discussing, but I'm adding myself onto here to say: I don't have an opinion on whether the term should be italicized, but there needs to be consistency between the article (italicized currently) and the article title (currently not italicized). :3 F4U (they/it) 04:26, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
