Talk:Argonaut (animal)

message: The males lack the dorsal tentacles used by the females to create their egg cases. The males have a modified arm called a "hectocotylus" that is used for sperm transfer to the female. 
So how many tentacles does it have? If males lack the dorsal tentacles then does that mean males have 6? Or if I add the hectocotylus then is there 7?--Gbleem 19:11, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

message: I would suggest that all the Argonaut species be moved to articles bearing their scientific names, with the "common names" being redirects.  I have never heard anyone refer to the species using any of the common names; they are always referred to using the latin names or are simply called "paper nautilus" or "argonaut".

replies: text: I know about CephBase.  My point is that these common names are simply ones that have appeared in a publication at some point.  Most of them are very rarely (if ever) used.  I'd like to think I am pretty familiar with the individual species, but if someone were to say "Muddy Argonaut" I would have to ask them what species they were referring to. Sure, I could probably guess that it's A. hians based on the colour of the shell, but I have never seen the name used anywhere.  The same goes for all the others, with the exception of Greater Argonaut, which appears here and there. Mgiganteus1 06:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Alan Hale Jr.

message: I'm ordinarily an inclusionist, but for this section even I'm feeling drowned in the weeds: 
Dawn Wells said in a 2014 interview on CRN.com with Larry and Nancy Manetti, when asked if Alan Hale Jr. was the consummate professional of the Gilligan's Island series: "Well, that is so interesting, because Alan Jr. and his father looked so much alike, you don't know, who was who. His father did hang out all the time with Errol Flynn ... I used to say to Alan, 'How was it growing up in a household, with all those movie stars?' Alan was absolutely, the consummate professional, wonderful gentleman, jovial, never complained ... he was the exact same size of my dad. Every time he picked me up and hugged me, I thought he was my father, he was my dad." Wells also responded to the question if she ever went to her acting mentor's restaurant (that Hale once owned in Los Angeles): "It was a lobster house on La Cienega Blvd., and he would greet you with his sea hat on, as you can.... but that was after the show; and he had his friend, Anthony, there, with some good food, too." The last question asked of Dawn was if Gilligan's Island, was nearly his (Hale's) show: "No, no... as a matter of fact, it was interesting when you go back and find the people that they thought should play the other characters, and I understand Alan was doing a movie in Utah and they wanted to bring him to audition and he couldn't get a flight out, so ... he hitchhiked, hitchhiked on the highway and then, he came in to audition." After the show's cancellation, and until Hale's death, Wells not only stayed in touch with him but they were also frequently neighbors. After Hale's mother Gretchen died in 1979 the friendship between Hale and Wells grew closer.
If someone else wishes to restore this to the article, that's fine by me. — MaxEnt 21:20, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Listen the original song. The individually pronounced numbers are (fifty)-four-five-six.
A lie still remains a lie even if repeated one million times.
The first number heard in the song is cut (by the song mixer?) to 4-5-6 aka four-five-six.
The second number heard in the song is barely audible as a (50)-4-5-6 aka 54-5-6 (fifty)-four-five-six.

Talk:Embodiment

message: I think that the relationship between page and Embodied philosophy should be worked out better.  Should these be merged?  Perhaps the embodiment page could describe a more general, loosely associated, 'cultural-movement'-like thing encompassing Green movement, ecofeminism, gaia theory, strands of postmodernism, 'collective consciousness', etc.  Embodied philosophy (aka embodied cognition aka embodied mind thesis) could cover the more specific corresponding idea in the Philosophy of mind and cognitive science.  This article as it is right now is kind of all over the place (check out the links to see what I mean) and is really an inadequate explanation of embodied cognition, if that is the intent.  --mporch 05:32, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the embodied cognition page is utterly lacking, as it covers only philosophical and cognitive linguistic contributions. There are also substantial contributions to the field from cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. There is an excellent literature review on embodied cognition in: Wilson, M. (2002).

Talk:Local ring

message: About the noetherian condition - can I explain that Zariski in particular took local ring to be noetherian? This is however not the modern convention. It needs to be mentioned here, therefore. Making the convention Wikipedia-wide is a practice followed, for example, in defining a ring (mathematics) always to be unital here. It is therefore appropriate to explain here that the convention is expected everywhere on WP.

replies: text: Be careful using rollback because (a) it gives me no idea what your objection is since there's no edit summary and you wrote nothing in Talk, (b) it removes all my edits, such as here my grammar fix is -> are, which makes it look like you have other motives, and (c) it runs the risk of aggravating people.  Anyway, as for the issue, I've seen discussed several places the problems with referring to Wikipedia explicitly like that, one being that this is supposed to be a GPL'd encyclopedia which can be forked, recopied elsewhere, and so on, and so should not use this sort of self-reference.  You are correct that there is precedent for doing so, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.  Perhaps using an indexical such as "this encyclopedia" would serve, as that would cover all the related articles? (Hm, there's no indexical article, how sad.) -- VV 20:24, 4 May 2004 (UTC)

I realize that many people create articles for every song on their favorite record, all I'm saying is that the article in question is incredibly short, only three sentences, one of which speculates on the origins of the title.

message: has been removing content from this and other year articles claiming that there is consensus for "lesser" figures and events to be removed. They have not shown where this consensus was achieved but, even if this consensus does exist, it seems to be applied selectively by those who have taken ownership of these articles. A quick glance of the article shows how heavily biased it is in favour of White anglophone entries. 60% of the entries in the births section are of individuals from America, Britain, Canada, Australia or New Zealand. Many of these entries would fail the unwritten rule Deb has been using to remove non-English speaking entries from these articles - a host of local/state politicians, non-international athletes and obscure actors and military personnel. And of course virtually every single one these entries is unreferenced. English Wikipedia has many rules and policies but only non-White Anglo Saxons have to follow them.
