Talk:Portuguese pavement

message: The introduction fails to mention what "Portuguese pavement" is. There needs to be an explanation of what distinguishes Portuguese pavement from other types of pavement. 83.209.123.210 (talk) 11:10, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

message: I think we better remove the statement about Olivença, not because it is false, but because it's misleading. Portuguese pavement can in fact be seen throughout Spain, albeit occasionally. It seems to me that the author was a bit too eager to underscore the supposed Portuguese identity of Olivença. Steinbach (talk) 07:48, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Steinbach (talk) I can only agree to remove the statement if you can provide other prominent examples of Portuguese pavement in Spain. Anyway, I think that the statement can be improved by rephrasing, as it gives too much emphasis to Olivença in detriment of the former Portuguese colonies which are, in my opinion, much more relevant.Herrikez (talk) 09:08, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:SAS (software)

message: The list of "SAS components" is a bit misleading and random since some of the components are modules of SAS Base while others are separate client applications. The article in general needs a more structured approach that makes a distrinction between 
1. SAS as a company / developer
2. SAS as the core software ("SAS Base")
3. Different SAS solutions that are sometimes just client applications which make working with SAS Base easier (Enterprise Guide, SAS Studio...) and sometimes different server applications that complement SAS Base in a server environment.

thread_title:  Presenter 

message: in the introduction of the BBC TV comedy panel show Have I got news for you broadcast 2023/10/06 her introduction, as a guest panellist alongside regular Paul Merton, included "... a writer and broadcaster who has a pilot's licence and is aiming to, one day, to fly solo around the World, it sounds tough, but it is easier than getting from Birmingham to Manchester by train!" (this being the time of the Conservative Party (UK) Conference where that party, in Government at the time, announced that, (whilst actually in Manchester) would not be going ahead with the later phases of the High Speed 2 Rail link including parts between those two locations).
This seems to be confirmed https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/carol-vorderman-who-pilots-licence-27011432 and this article includes a mention of the desire to fly around the World although that subsequently has not happened: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gloucestershire-25224700.

message: Election and campaign material was all moved to Elections in New York where it belonged. This is reserved for what politicians DO after they are elected. So there is a fairly "bright line" around bother "Government of.." which is what the constitution says, "Elections in" which is about elections, results and campaigning. The rest, which are laws that may be unique to New York, go into here. Sometimes the line is not quite as crisp as the other two. Just try to see if it fits in the other two articles first. Failing that, it might wind up here. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 18:23, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Montanism

message: I would encourage the original poster to consider revising the sentence, "It was a prophetic movement that called for a reliance on the spontaneity of the Holy Spirit and a more conservative personal ethic." 
There are two problems that I see with this sentence:
1. It uses a comparative, while the object of comparison is absent and the implied comparison is unclear. i.e. "More conservative" than what?
2. The word conservative should be struck and replaced with a qualifier more relevant to 2nd century CE. The word 'conservative' is a colloquial term, the meaning of which differs significantly from culture to culture, not to mention from century to century. 
I recommend striking the entire second clause of the sentence, or replacing it with something like, " . . . and ecstatic prophecy or other methods of subjective experience." This would be more consistent with the remainder of the article, since the word 'conservative' never again appears in the article for clarification of meaning. Alternatively, a section to clarify just how early adherents of Montanism were conservative would also satisfy point 2.

thread_title:  Basic definition needs clarification 

message: The Aftermath section contains this line:
  In 2016, Baptist Pastor and Polemicist J.D. Hall compared the Montanists to the Charismatic Movement and modern claims of prophecy. [26]
The source for this is a self-published youtube video by the the subject itself (JD Hall). After a bit of googling it seems like Hall is not a particularly notable commentator. For these reasons I believe the line should be removed. Please comment if you feel it should stay. Ashmoo (talk) 10:51, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

message: In the source of this claim Epiphanius is quoted but the reference is not to his chapter on montanism but to a different sect, the quintillianists. Could someone please edit it accordingly? I am new on wiki and dont know how to best correct this error.
*It's not an error. Epiphanius identifies the Quintillianists as a subset of the Phyrgians. "Phrygians" is another name for Montanists, as the article makes clear. However, we need a reliable secondary source for this claim rather than only a primary source. Ltwin (talk) 23:51, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Amago Kunihisa

message: The English on this entry is bad enough that it needs a person who understands the subject matter better to go over it.  Also it is not complete.
I'm willing to help out if the original author wants me to and will help.
Key issues:
1.  Need a quick introduction.  For example, I'm guessing he was a Japanese clan / war leader but this is not mentioned.  What is his historical significance?
2.  "He had been called "On the military matters, he is like a kami and a oni" from his father, Tsunehisa".  I think this should be "Kunihisa's father, Tsunehisa, said of him "On military matters, he is like a kami and a oni"".  Please confirm.
3.  "But he often looked down on those who did not do well on the battlefield and was obnoxious from time to time." This is stylistically poor.  Maybe we can get some details to help recast it?
4.  "The death of Kunihisa and the purge of his faction significantly damaged Amago clan and turned the balance against Mori clan in Mori's favor."  I think this is supposed to mean that his death improved the situation of Mori's clan but that is not at all clear - "turned the balance against Mori clan" means made things bad for the Mori clan.
*I agree, this needs work.  As to point #4 above. as I understood it the purge of the Amago supporters turned the balance towards the Mōri clan. But maybe the idiom of the teeter-totter is different in Japanese.  Or was there a backlash from the purge that made it worse for the Mōri? --Bejnar (talk) 07:59, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Ethical code

message: I don't see the point of this entry:
1.  It's not really an appropriate subject for an encyclopedia article
2.  It's seriously incomplete / inaccurate.  For example:  "Such codes exist in most professions to guide interactions between specialists with advanced knowledge ... and the general public."...a. I don't see the relevance of advanced knowlegeb. Many ethical codes have nothing to do with interactions with the general public.  For example, consider ethical codes for biologists about cloning.
3.  It's kind of obnoxious.  For example, "As the public is in general incapable of distinguishing good from bad decisions"... um... do we need to be this condescending?
4.  There is a totally gratuitous slam against accounting
5.  "Public guidance typically is confined to ensuring that there is such an internally consistent code" - does "public guidance" really attempt to ensure that there is an internally consistent code?
6.  I see no reason to believe that "ethical codes" are more consistent than "moral codes".
Mike Friedman 19:31, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Untitled 

message: One important reason to keep this entry is that an ethical code, or code of ethics, is often a concrete, formal document adopted after much discussion by a professional organization or society, in much the same sense that constitutions or bylaws are.  While the discussion between "moral" vs. "ethical" codes is interesting, and not irrelevant, I have never heard of a professional field voting on a "moral code," while many do have "codes of ethics" that are literally guidelines for acceptable practice and behaviors of members of a given profession.  Hope that helps. Bruxism 21:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  A concrete thing 

message: The distinction between ethical codes and moral codes as set out here is gratuitous and unsustained.  I don't think it can be sustained from within any rigorous meta-ethical system.  Ethics is always about the συνηθης τοπος, the place in which action takes place among (at least) human beings (gimme a break and spare me the arguments for extension).  That clearly encompasses both individual action and action of people together (morals and politics, if you will). The tendency to divide the two seems to me a relatively late phenom.
For that reason, it seems to me a more comprehensive and careful discussion of moral codes, comprehending code-ethics as part of it, is in order.

Template talk:PD-link

message: I hope people think this is a good idea and not a redundant image tag. The idea is to allow those of us who want people to credit Wikipedia as a useful source of free images to do so without imposing legal obligations on them. It's simply a polite request to link back to Wikipedia if the user finds it convenient. I wouldn't advise putting such a request on public domain images not created by you, as (for example) NASA images don't originally come from Wikipedia and it would be wrong to ask people to link to us if they reproduce them. Don't get me wrong: I like the idea of things like the Creative Commons licenses, but some of us might like to occasionally base our conditions on asking people to comply with them where appropriate, but allowing them to be waived where not. I would be interested in other Wikipedians' thoughts on the matter. — Trilobite (Talk)
: I think it's a great idea. When an author releases his work into the PD, he or she relinquishes their legal ability — granted by copyright law — to control how others use their work. However, I believe that the author still has the right to request how others use their work, and this request, while not legally binding, still carries some force ethically. That is, it would be polite or honourable to comply with the wishes of the creator, if appropriate.
: See also User:Matt Crypto/PD, which I cobbled together yesterday. — Matt Crypto 10:53, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Couldn't have put it better myself! I've always thought it's all very well releasing work under nice free licences, but some people who want to reproduce content won't understand all that and get intimidated by the lawyer-speak, thinking if they're not careful they'll get sued for not conforming to the author's precise terms. This defeats the object of free licences. Sometimes it's better to make a simple request with no legal force behind it, so people can comply with the spirit of free content without being bound by the letter. Plenty of people seem to be using this tag anyway. — Trilobite (Talk) 08:49, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
