Talk:Gymnosophists

message: In the West, the Greek philosopher known as DEMOCRITUS OF ABDERA (4th century BC) is credited as the one who first theorized about the existence of atoms.  His school of thought has been called “atomism”, however, the concept of atoms was entirely new to Greece, whereas it was an old concept in India dating back at least to Bhagavan Mahavira (599 to 527 BC) of Jainism.  At least 5 different ancient Greek and Roman historians wrote that Democritus traveled to India and studied there (as well as Babylonia and Egypt).  These historians include DIOGENES LAERTIUS, SUIDAS, STRABO (while citing Alexander the Great’s historian Megasthenes), AELIAN (Claudius Aelianus), and the early Christian theologian HIPPOLYTUS.  In fact, both Diogenes Laertius and Hippolytus specifically stated that Democritus studied under the GYMNOSOPHISTS or “naked sages” of India who have been identified as none other than the naked Jain monks.  Hence, it is possible that Democritus of Abdera gained the idea of atomism, which was new to the Greeks, directly from the Jains in India.

* Elacharya (Yuvacharya etc) is not a formal rank. It is not given in any classical text. Yuvacharya title was an invention of Acharya Tulsi for Muni Nathmal (later Mahaprajna).
* Mataji = Aryka.
* Ganini Aryika and Ganini Aryika Pramukha are not formal ranks. Technically they are also Aryikas.

thread_title:  Photo added 

message: According to http://members.tripod.com/airfields_freeman/CA/Airfields_CA_Monterey.html, the old Morgan Hill Airport a few miles to the northwest — or Morgan Hill Airmen field as it was locally known — used the FAA designator "Q99", the same as South County Airport, which was built later and replaced the former when it was abandoned and the land sold to developers.  I don't know if it is true, and I don't have access to any old airport guides or sectional charts from the pre-1970 era when the airport still existed.  The Q99 code was used for South County at least through the 1980s, as far as I know.  Also, FAA archives might elucidate when South County switched from Q99 to E16. — QuicksilverT @ 22:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Murphy v. IRS

message: Regarding this paragraph:
::Murphy’s position was that her award constituted only monies that “made her whole” and, in effect, was a return of her “human capital.” After the August 2006 decision was announced, lead attorney David K. Colapinto, who argued the case before the Court, said of the appellee's  position, “The government had the audacity to argue that non-wage compensatory damages for emotional distress and loss of reputation can be taxed as income because the economic value of human life is zero. The taxing of non-wage damages is highly destructive and punishes whistleblowers and other civil rights plaintiffs for prevailing in their cases. Hopefully, today’s ruling will stop this arcane and regressive policy.”
The quotation attributed to Colapinto is problematic on two counts. First, and most importantly, it is unsourced.
Second, the claim that the government somehow argued that the "the economic value of human life is zero" is dubious. The "economic value of human life" would be immaterial in a case under IRC section 104(a)(2), and it is highly unlikely that any competent tax lawyer would make such an argument. What the government probably noted -- and what Colapinto may have been referring to -- was that the taxpayer's tax basis in her "human life" is zero -- which would be a legally correct statement (i.e., the costs would be non-deductible expenses under IRC section 262, not "capital expenditures" that could be included in "tax basis"). A "human life" is not "property" under the Internal Revenue Code, and there is no provision in the Internal Revenue Code for a person to have "tax basis" in a "human life." And tax basis and economic value are two different things.
I am adding a citation tag to the quotation in the article. If Colapinto actually said this, perhaps someone can locate the source. Also, maybe someone can look for some evidence that the government actually made such an argument as Colapinto allegedly claims the government made. Yours, Famspear 17:16, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Unsourced material

message: I deleted some unsourced commentary about the judges in this case supposedly having being under pressure to reverse their August 2006 decision. The judges were indeed subject to ridicule from the legal community, especially from tax law experts, about the 2006 decision. However, the material in the article was unsourced and, to some extent (at least in my view) overstated the case for "pressure." United States Appeals Court judges (who basically serve for life) simply are not subject to political pressure to nearly the same degree as, say, elected political figures. The general consensus among tax experts may well be that the judges were embarrassed by their original decision, and found a way to salvage something from it. However, that's my personal conjecture -- not necessarily something that should go in the article. Famspear 16:05, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Titus Didius

message: This is concise and to the point: just like Wikipedia articles should be.
But I'm a little confused about some of the details here.
I would suggest a brief explanation (a sentence or two) describing why there were six Tribunes of the Plebs. Rome didn't always have that and if you included that info, we might have some insight as to why Didius was elected to this office in the first place. Did he have family/political connections? Also, how did he make the jump between politician to general? Was it because he restored the Villa Publica?
And one other minor/technical thing: you've listed "Broughton, Robert. The Magistrates of the Roman Republic" under two separate citations (2 and 8).
Seems like you're a pro at this Wiki-format though - one of the cleaner entries I've seen here.

thread_title:  Ancient Rome Comments 

message: Generally, good, concise article that seems to list the important events of his career.  Very jumpy though.  I know that this is supposed to be an encyclopedia-like article but it seems to just be a random throwing out of facts without much flow.  
Plus, seems to presuppose a lot of outside knowledge.  (I'm not exactly sure how valid my point is)  I don't know whether you're supposed to explain many of the outside terms that you write in or whether the links to other Wikipedia articles is sufficient.  The general feeling while I was reading it though was that I would have to look stuff up at nearly every sentence (if I had no prior knowledge of Roman history).
Timothy Lee 21:15, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More Comments 

message: Very concise article, i liked the first sentence and how it mentions what he is generally known for.
However I think you should include more information about some of the concepts in your article.  It is a very good summary of Didius's life, and each sentence seems to cover a different aspect of his life, but as said above this makes it kind of jumpy and hard to follow.  I think that each sentence could be expanded somewhat by adding more information about the main concept of sentence, i think this would also add some flow to the article.
More specifically, for the section describing the slaying of 20000 Arevaci and the siege, which battles did these occur in and what were some of their details?  Same for his death, are there any details about the battle or how he died in battle?  Also in the last sentence it is unclear which consul he served under when he captured Herculaneum.
Im new to making Wiki articles but is it better to break up the article under bold subject lines?
Other than that i really like the extensive use of footnotes and the referencing, makes it easy to find where your info is coming from.  Also good job on the internal links.

message: The following para had been incorporated into this article but has now been deleted, since Deacons take no "religious vows" that make them members of the Consecrated life.
::It must be noted that all unmarried deacons in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church, whether in a religious order or of the diocesan clergy, take a commitment to celibacy before their sacred ordination (this is not the same thing as a vow of chastity as understood under the counsels of perfection: celibacy simply forbids marriage; chastity implies a deeper commitment to self-offering). By this commitment to celibacy, they are forbidden to attempt marriage, and any marriage they attempt is invalid (permanent deacons who are already married are not required to make this commitment, but cannot remarry if their wife dies). All diocesan deacons and priests also make a commitment of obedience to their diocesan bishop or archbishop (though again this is not the same thing as the vow of obedience undertaken by members of religious orders: a diocesan priest is under the command of a bishop; a member of an order makes a deeper renunciation of his or her own rights to self-direction).
