Talk:Naming and Necessity

message: People begin using the name 'Jack the Ripper' to refer to the person responsible for the murder of five women in London. So, the name was fixed to its referent by a description. However, the person who carried out the murders might have been jailed for another crime and, thus, might never have had the property of murdering those women.
Either carrying out a murder differs from murdering, or being the murderer differs from having the property of being the murderer. Either way, it's not the everyday English language wherein explanations are explanatory. — MaxEnt 00:11, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That section of the article is simply wrong, Kripke makes no such claim, in fact he concedes that "Jack the Ripper" is an example of a name where the reference could reasonably be said to be fixed by a description. Samatarou (talk) 01:16, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Insane hair splitting 

message: Where did this term "descriptivist theory of names" come from? Kripke never once uses the term, he always says "description theory of names". If you think about it, a "descriptivist theory" can only be a theory advanced by a descriptivist, but what sort of theory would they advance? Not a descriptivist theory surely, as that creates a circular definition. In the context of these articles on naming, descriptivists are surely those who advocate a description theory of names, so that is the correct term. Samatarou (talk) 01:16, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

message: Why are we using colons for headings (e.g. ;List of parkways) rather than using bold text (List of parkways) around the headings?

thread_title:  Add Baishizhou case and related books 

message: This article is heavily biased to the typical middle class Chinese development-ist perspective that urban villages are a bad thing and should be demolished and replaced with huge roads and skyscrapers.
Most people in the post-modern west (and the actual people who live in the urban villages) would have a different perspective, because we see the benefits of life in the urban village, and the superiority of the natural urban form of the urban village when compared to typical modern Chinese urban planning. Urban villages are lively, provide cheap convenient homes and shops for the workers that make Shenzhen what it is, and have irreplaceable historical and heritage value. The narrow streets that cars can't drive down are actually a lot better than wide highways, because they create a safe, peaceful and environmentally friendly neighborhood where people walk everywhere. Also, urban villages are interesting, unlike boring modern Chinese urban planning, where every road is in a grid, and every building is the same. Urban villages are the best part of Shenzhen, and it would be a tragedy if they were all demolished.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.217.85.222 (talk) 08:14, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Helmholtz pitch notation

message: Someone needs to fix the illustration at the top of the article, which appears to be black or dark blue on black, and which is therefore nearly invisible.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.92.174.105 (talk) 23:16, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fix Invisible Illustration 

message: What do you make of the octave designation used in GNU Solfege. If you go to the "Preferences" page of that program and choose "User" (the second choice in the version I've looked at which is version 3.20.8) you get a system that resembles the Helmholtz pitch notation but is not quite it. In the system they use octaves go, from lowest to highest, like this: c,,,, - c,,, - c,, - c, - c - c' - c - c - c' - c - c (eleven octaves in all) but as you can see it is not the Helmholtz system as the Helmholtz system uses lower and upper case letters whereas this one only uses lowercase letters. Has anyone ever seen this system and knows what it means? Is it worth adding information about it to WP? Contact Basemetal here 18:17, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  
Does any one know this kind of octave designation?
 

message: How are these things pronounced? When one sees c' or c or c' or c or C, how does one read that aloud? "cee-triple-prime"? "cee-prime-prime-prime"? Or perhaps "cee third". "cee second". "c prime", "c", "big C"? -- Evertype·✆ 18:10, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Origin All Wrong 

message: I have seen sources from before his birth using this system on imslp.org. He may have modified it but there was no other system of naming octaves except the useless "two octaves and a third above middle C". I doubt it would have spread so widely through Europe just because some scientist put it in a book.I wish I had noted the source when I saw it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.252.198.217 (talk) 05:12, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: That Helmholtz did not invent this notation seems to me more or less clearly said in the article. It could have been said more explicitly, however, and I modified the article accordingly. There remain troublesome statements taken from an article by Brian Blood on Dolmetsch online, about "English multiple C notation" and a "German method" that should be better documented. I'll see whether I can find sources. — Hucbald.SaintAmand (talk) 09:11, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: We discussed this issue about a month ago in an IfD debate, I, the images creator, was happy to see it go and was fully supporting removal from wikipedia. It was created originally to solve a dispute on some articles relating to oral sex along with 2 other diagrams, however, I feel now it was quite narrow sited and ideally this content is better off deleted. But, this problem is the image now exists on commons, and IfD debates here on en.wikipedia do not cover content which is held on commons. I fully support you raising an IfD on commons and will vote with you on it, however, I suspect it is unlikely to be successful as several wikis are using it now and its quite popular on some. I will seek placement protection for this image however, else it may be abused - for example placed on user pages. WikipedianProlific(Talk) 23:57, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: SO6 vs. SO16

message: I have a proposal and a question.
First, that Palace of Westminster Division (SO17) be merged into Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection (PaDP), because SO17 is now part of PaDP, as stated in the article.
Second, should the article title be "Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection" or "Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command", as the latter is its full/proper name? RadiculousJ (talk) 23:38, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: My view is that the SO17 article should be merged, its one of the history bits of this article in effect so it would make sense to me.  Re title, the command is actually Protection Command, made up of two elements or branches, PaDP, this element, and RaSP (Royalty and Specialist Protection).  So it might inaccurate to add 'Command' to the title of this article. Dibble999 (talk) 17:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:HMS Victory (1737)

message: This article is quite eclectic. For a reader not acquainted with the historical facts it remains opaque. First and foremost, the reference to braking the blockade.
She was wrecked with the loss of her entire crew whilst returning to England as the flagship of Admiral Sir John Balchen after breaking the blockade of Sir Charles Hardy, in the Tagus estuary. 
Why does a British ship have to break the blockade of a British officer? This makes no sense, as there was no civil war on during that age... please clarify or omit this section and state the details of the loss of the ship.
--80.145.199.218 23:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see where you've gone wrong here.  Hardy was the one who was blockaded, not the one who was doing the blockading.  Also no more details are available.  Her escorts lost sight of her, then she was wrecked with the loss of all her crew.  I'm afraid there is no more story to tell.  Any extra details on the sinking or what led up to it have been lost with her crew, though I'm not sure what it is you wanted to know anyway.  I will clarify this somewhat in the article.  --Benea 01:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Question the comment about Rich tea biscuits being good for dunking. They are terrible: they fall to pieces within seconds of being dunked, that is if they don’t fall to pieces in the coffee/tea cup leaving a sludgy mess at the bottom!
Jhlister 02:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that Rich Tea biscuits are hopeless for dunking. Dunk them briefly and they absorb nothing. Dunk them for longer and they go soggy. My opinion is that their fine texture makes them perhaps the worst of the classic British biscuits for dunking. The open texture of, for example, a ginger nut allows the tea or coffee to wick into the biscuit. 193.203.71.131 (talk) 11:29, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
