Talk:Holocaust (disambiguation)

message: IMO the section "Genocides and massacres" is against WP:MOSDAB: these events are not called simply "Holocaust"; just as the article lock (disambiguation) does not list Lever tumbler lock. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:44, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There are many genocides/killings/bad things that happened, and they are sometimes referred as a kind of "Holocaust", or with a special "Holocaust" name. That doesn't mean they all should be listed here; people typing in the word "Holocaust" are not looking for the Viannos massacres. Jayjg (talk) 19:00, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Doc Daneeka

message: I propose that Doc Daneeka can do his job effectively during the raid and after Avignon because "...each man's bluing wound [was] a dreadful portent of his own decay." and because Yossarian learns about the fragility of man with Snowden and brings this information back to Daneeka.

thread_title:  Epiphanies 

message: It might just be because it's late, but some of the grammar in this article seems a little bit off to me. For example...
He sees unnecessary risks to include displeasing his superiors for grounding crew and being shipped off to the Pacific Ocean, water and its ability to drown a man, and having to fly in a claustrophobia.
I've never heard the expression "sees...to include..." and I don't know what flying in a claustrophobia is. I think someone should probably look over this article, but I don't have the time...
Thanks.

replies: text: The "sees unnecessary risks to include" was probably done by a Latin student. Grammatically, it makes sense in both Latin and English (I just can't remember the form, I believe it's just an indirect statement), but just in this current culture of linguistic apathy, that particular wording just doesn't pop up as much. And someone screwed up on using claustrophobia as a physical noun. I'll fix.Artiste-extraordinaire 01:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Les Aspin

message: I lived in Wisconsin during some of Les Aspins service in the House. It is my understanding that he served as an officer in the U. S. Navy during his military service period. There were reports in the local Milwaukee media ("Milwaukee Journal" or "Milwaukee Sentinel", now "Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel") that Aspin had claimed that during the entire period of his active military service he had never owned a uniform or worn one. If he had performed active service in the National Capitol Region as an officer that claim wouldn't have been too strange, as it's my understanding that there was (pre 9/11) a policy that serving military officers don't wear uniforms to work during peacetime conditions.

message: I removed the quote "God can resurrect a bowl of ashes just as conveniently as he can resurrect a bowl of dust."  It has been in the article since 2006, never cited/sourced.

It was then modified to the current version here  without any additional citation.  I have done searches, found nothing except two articles one of which uses the phrase uncited, and another one called Theft, Property Rights and the Human Body (2013) which cites to thefuneralsource.org which now returns an online casino site. Also a 2015 novel that uses the phrase (which I suspect was lifted from this page) Oblivy (talk) 02:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Extremely poor article 

message: Eurabia is comprised of Europe and Arabia, no doubt, but the context is "The Arab World" (which is a predominantly Muslim), hence wouldn't it be better to write "portmanteau of Europe and the Arab world"? Thanks. 2A10:8012:19:AD67:4820:3F5B:E02B:F013 (talk) 16:59, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because where would the "ia" bit come from? The whole point of a portmanteau is that it is fitting two words together. We need to say which two words. The portmanteau of "Europe" and "the Arab world" would probably be "the Eurarab world", which is not the same word as "Eurabia", even if it is only very slightly sillier.

Talk:Spatial file manager

message: It's really not very clear what the article is about, and there's a real lack of material written about this elsewhere. Is there a different term, or is there some notable use of this term that should make it the standard? The top description on the page is:
"In computing, a spatial file manager is a file manager that uses a spatial metaphor to represent files and folders as if they are real physical objects."
Now, that's open to quite a lot of interpretation. It seems from this description, and from some other remarks on the page, that a Spatial File Manager is one which shows files and folders as icons, as opposed to the "List View" or "Details View", where the folder is a list of files.
Then in the first paragraph, we see these four apparent requirements for a Spatial File Manager. They sort of seem to be gushing about spatial file managers, but they don't explain what they are very well.
 1. Each folder is represented by a single window.
 2. Each window is unambiguously and irrevocably tied to a particular folder.
 3. Stability: files, folders, and windows go where the user moves them, stay where the user puts them ("preserve their spatial state"), and retain all their other "physical" characteristics (like size, shape, color and location).
 4. The same item can only be viewed in one window at a time.
So what I gather from this is that it's a icon-based file manager where you double-click a folder, and it (always) opens that as a new window, except where the folder has already been opened, and then its window is raised/focused. The 3rd point is not so clear: it's about dragging icons around within the window, and adding other (aesthetic) properties to the files, which are preserved when the window is closed and re-opened?
Why are all of these properties needed? If the author had some particular file manager in mind, it should be mentioned. What is the origin of this term? It seems from Googling 'spatial file manager' to be a term that arose around the Gnome DE, and spread somewhat in Linux circles, but it seems to refer to earlier file managers. There's a good list of examples of them on the page. There are essentially no citations in the article, too.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vanhedrarn (talk • contribs) 14:03, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text:  Definitely merge. I suggest merging into the article "curve". That is to say, these examples are good enough to warrant saving and using somewhere in that article. But they do not warrant an individual article (and if they did, such an article would have a different name anyway, something involving "examples" no doubt). Nor does the topic "curves in diff.geom" appear likely to attract further worthwhile content at this time. Merge now, and if this causes sections of the curve article to grow unwieldy in the future, we can always break sections back out later (but in the process, we will probably find a better way of dividing up the content than what is suggested by this present article).
