Talk:Metaxy

message: I think the lead text to this article should have a less academic, rather more colloquial, tone. Connecting the concept to Diotima trough Socrates, should give more emphasis on Diotima view of platonic love, or the 'philosophy of love', as Socrates called it, as a way to reach a higher state of knowledge to overcome the limitations of language as a medium to understand reality without prejudice. See Wikipedia article on Diotime role in Symposium by Plato to a clear view of this.--Wcris (talk) 01:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Lead Text

message: This article contained some very... unusual prose about oral traditions that it claimed were in Plato's Symposium. This apears to have been a non-obvious interpretation, so I have removed it, as it was uncited. Possibly from Eric Voegelin?
This does seem to be a case where an ancient Greek word that held little significance philosophically is interpreted in a different way by a contemporary philosopher, so I've restructured the article based on that assumption.  - car chasm (talk) 05:34, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Elwha Dam

message: While I feel the section entitled "Increased Sediment Load Following Demolition" seems to contain valuable and pertinent information that should be included in this article, the entire paragraph is completely unsourced and, at times, poorly worded. (e.g. "As predicted, the sediment load from the point of dam demolition to the river mouth has increased dramatically resulting in turbidity much higher than what was originally predicted." While the author seems to have a negative perspective on the dam removal, I don't believe this should preclude inclusion the information at hand. Nevertheless, a more encyclopedic tone which integrates both pros and cons (i.e. short term and long term effects) would be more warranted.  I'm removing this until the information can be tied down better with proper sourcing, which should be easy enough. --129.105.149.247 (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany/Cities/Saxony-Anhalt

message: Indeed a lot of work ahead there! I'm not sure what to do with Dessau, Roßlau, Bitterfeld and Wolfen, since the merger cities Dessau-Roßlau and Bitterfeld-Wolfen, and the "old" cities would all deserve separate articles IMO (as in de:). See for instance Sittard-Geleen, a recent combination of Sittard, Geleen and Born (Netherlands). The Statistisches Landesamt Sachsen-Anhalt link is very useful indeed, there are alphabetical lists of municipalities by Kreis and by Verwaltungsgemeinschaft under Gebietsinformationen/Gemeinden.

I am working through the nav-templates currently, just to get the existing articles moved to the new districts.

When one has to flip through links to understand what a definition was trying to say, such a definition is of little value in and of itself. Such definitions are in fact a thin plastic film and not a thick juicy stake!
Additionally, perhaps use of 'actual' computer languages should be avoid in favor of pseudo code that permits more appropriate and clarifying contextual information (as well as spurious cluttering detail).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.114.248.239 (talk) 22:56, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I was disappointed with this article, as it failed to answer the question I came here with:  Why is the place named "Royal City"?   That it takes its name from the "Royal Slope" region within which it lies simply moves the question:  why is the region called "Royal Slope"?  To simply cite "Royal Slope" when there is no article on "Royal Slope" at which to follow up is really dropping the ball.  Was it named in honor of an actual king, and if so which?  It seems *extremely* odd for a place in America settled so late to be named "Royal".
And if the answer is lost to history, even that datum would be useful to mention in the article.

Do you have any evidence to suggest that there is a consistent usage favouring the old title?

Talk:1892 United Kingdom general election

message: I query the use of this terminology in the article. To me a coalition requires the participants to be in government together. What happened in 1892 was that the Irish Nationalists preferred the pro-Home Rule Liberals to be in government rather than the anti-Home Rule Unionists. However there was never any suggestion of the Nationalists taking up office as part of a coalition with the Liberals. This is more like the confidence and supply agreements which have become common in New Zealand since proportional representation was introduced into a Westminster type parliamentary system (although as far as I know there was not a formal agreement in 1892 just a general appreciation of the political realities of the Parliament). --Gary J 13:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
