Talk:International Council of Museums

message: I propose to merge ICOM MPR here, as it's a non-notable marketing committee of a highly notable organisation. It's referenced only by primary sources, and neither I nor two other editors have been able to find significant coverage of the commitee online from WP:Reliable sources. It can also be condensed into more concise prose. Norvoid (talk) 12:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, I think the content is worth saving and improving too, but there's no reason for a separate article for that. Norvoid (talk) 12:54, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

text: A short description of the committee can be easily added here. I'll add it myself now. As far as ease of search, we can redirect ICOM MPR to this article so anyone searching for ICOM MPR will be directed here. Norvoid (talk) 13:12, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

text: I actively support the merge. ICOM's international committees are not autonomous organizations and the obvious place to provide information about them—from both the editorial perspective and that of the general public—is the ICOM article, itself. --Futhark|Talk 16:00, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

text: As former Chair of ICOM-MPR (twice) I agree with the proposal to merge individual committee information under the umbrella of the primary organisation's reference, which is reflective of ICOM's federated structure. The ICOM-MPR Committee's foundational information is incorrectly listed here anyhow (NB: The International Committee for Marketing and Public Relations was first established in 1976, and not 1977 as noted, to fill a perceived gap in the spectrum of ICOM's concerns. It was chiefly thanks to the persistence and persuasiveness of Ms. Corinne Bellow, then of London’s Tate Gallery, that this new international committee of ICOM was established).LandDownUnder2020 (talk) 21:21, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster

message: Were the fully assembled SRBs ever lifted (eg. in the VAB, or where they were joined), or were the field joints made on the mobile launch platform, after each segment was lifted onto the growing stack ?

message: Having just completed a Lego model of the shuttle, I am aware of the black identification band near the top of the left SRB which is of course absent on the right SRB. I believe its purpose is identification during launch and recovery but I am unable to find a reference for this, other than in model marking diagrams on the web. It is so obvious in the photos that perhaps it is worth adding if someone can find a reference from NASA or Morton Thiokol?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MoorwaySouth (talk • contribs) 12:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

message: Yakut native DNA is found in a population of Jews mostly Baltic region, Ukraine, Poland, Russia, etc. It is said this Asian tribe descends from Siberia and spread throughout Northeastern Europe. Yakuts are also in Iceland and Scandinavia. Ironically, for this article, Yakuts are connected via DNA to several North American native tribes. So, in some way, he was most likely related by DNA to Native Americans, hence the reason for the resemblance.  Pookerella (talk) 04:39, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Metering mode

message: I changed the text a bit because metering mode is not something that is found on digital cameras exclusively. The matrix mode goes back to the mid-1970s, spot metering to the late 1800s, and center-weighted averaging metering to the 1920s or 1930s. Jeff Medkeff | Talk 16:51, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
Additional editing:
Enhanced partial metering description, also stated mostly used on Canon cameras.
Added ESP (Olympus) to matrix metering.
Suggest it is considered to change matrix metering to "Multi-Zone" metering..as Matrix is mostly a Nikon term..and multi zone is easier to grasp for readers.
Added a link to a film camera's manual..shows examples of metering in action...patterns etc
Need somemore examples of metering aka photos. Will have a dig about.--Barryfitzgerald 22:50, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Moral agency

message: The sentence, "In Kant's philosophy, this calls for an act of faith, the faith free agent is based on something a priori, yet to be known, or immaterial",
seems to have an error.  Is the sentence saying that we need to have faith in order to accept the following statement?  Or is it saying that our free agency requires an act of faith?
Something seems grammatically wrong with this sentence - I don't know what the verb is in this sentence.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.55.245.99 (talk) 08:07, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Section on nonhuman animal moral agency 

message: I think the first sentence needs adjusting. It currently reads 'Moral agency is an individual's ability to make moral judgments based on some notion of right and wrong and to be held accountable for these actions'.
1: It conflates moral judgment and agency. They are related, but not the same. Importantly, this article discusses or links to cases in which an entity could be a moral agent while being incapable of moral judgment.
2: The cited source does not support the claim in the sentence. Taylor's actual text assigns moral agency to those who can make moral choices, not judgments. I don't think it's an especially good definition anyway, but I think it more accurate than the one here.
3: Some very important accounts of morality do not treat 'right' and 'wrong' as central concepts.
4: The ability to be held accountable is not ideal phrasing - it means 'morally responsible', but not all those who are morally responsible can be held accountable.
I will make a fairly minimal edit - 'judgments' to 'choices' - to ensure that it at least accurately represents the cited source. I'll hold off on a larger change for a bit as it is obviously an important section and I'm new to editing etiquette. I do think it needs a more substantial rewording though and am happy do do it myself at some point. Potentially useful references: Routledge on Moral Agents, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on Agency.

If this is not your IP address, I would like to initiate discussion anyways.
You appear to be removing the listing on this page for the Republic of West Papua. Disambiguation pages, by their very nature, are designed to ease searching for and finding articles by grouping similarly-named articles together – West Papua can be known as a proposed state of Western New Guinea (which is also known as West Papua) and as an Indonesian province. This page contains all three of these items to better facilitate navigation. The state is known as West Papua, and will be known as such even if you may not personally know it as such.
