Talk:Bistre

message: :Bistre's appearance is generally of a mid-to-dark warm brown, with a yellowish cast.
As an artist, I have frequently used the colour bistre brown, and it is almost always a mid-to-light warm brown with a yellowish cast - and certainly nothing like the colour shown in the picture! If I had to give a c,m,y,k rating for bistre, it'd be closer to 40, 50, 80, 0 than the 0, 30, 49, 76 listed. Although I have no doubt that the original pigment was a darker colour, the normal art use of the term is surely now considerably lighter.  Grutness|hello?  06:24, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It wouldn't hurt to show several example colors advertised as "bistre", sort of a NPOV for shades. it seems to be one of those colors that has many interpretations; I have postage stamps described as "bistre" that run the gamut from tan to sepia... Stan 17:18, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Weird shade given

message: "Instead of this, some used the strokes of a pen, some Indian ink, others a black stone, etc. [1]"
This reference from the Cyclopaedia doesn't make much sense.  I believe the intent of the author was to indicate that some other artists used hatching ("some strokes of the pen"), or washed using indian ink or ink from a "black stone" as used in China, in the place of bistre.  I think the reference is definitely usable, but in its current, nearly original state, it's more confusing than informative. Rujoking (talk) 22:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I would agree that the article, after the early years, is almost totally about the Soviet Union. Although this is important, it is only a part of the history of Communism. It is also, in no way a substitute for the WCM article, which, although it should be broader, is an accurate account of what is generally recognised as the WCM. Either the WCM article should be incorporated into this one, with the gaps filled in, or it should be re-instated as a separate article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.205.21 (talk) 13:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  World Communist Movement/History of Communism 

message: Under the origins of communism, when discussing earlier forms, which have later come to be considered communism, would a mention of the Inca Empire be worth considering? The people of the empire provided the higher-ups with labour, and in turn were provided with free food, clothes, healthcare, and schooling. While not directly contributing to the development of communism, nor stemming from it, a mention of it could still provide insight into how these ideas are not unique to Europe or the west, and have developed on their own independently.

message: I might be wrong, but the Sega arcade game Thunder Blade, which has been ported to Sega MasterSystem and Genesis (See Super Thunder Blade article), as well as several gaming computers of the time, seems to be highly inspired from the Blue Thunder movie, especially for the main helicoper.
I assume Sega didn't get the rights for the Blue Thunder name and thus changed the name to Thunder Blade to keep some similarities without getting into legal troubles.

Template talk:Branches of chemistry

message: Since I've got no answer on wikiproject I'm reposting here.
Hello. I work essentially in the Portuguese version of Wikipedia, which has serious problems in Chemistry related articles. I found one template which in my opinion is confused, and it's basically the same in English version. It's about Template:Branches of chemistry, which connects different areas in three main topics. I think it's a kind of arbitrary definition, some of that areas (eg Polymer chemistry, Physical organic chemistry, Pharmacy, Surface science, Geochemistry, Solid-state chemistry, Materials science, etc) are actually the result of mixing the three main topics (Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry) with others scientific areas. I wonder if it wouldn't be better in a template such as in the Template:Branches of biology case, without these divisions.  Rafael Kenneth (talk) 04:14, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Ontological reductionism

message: The following was removed from the page:
:It is evident in the dominant discourses in the business of commercial and academic study of the management of software development.  This provides an illustration of how ontological reductionism is often present as an unquestioned pre-understanding by members of these communities.  
:As an example consider the use of the term "process" as it is commonly used to describe the of development of software products.  Here a "process" is used as a representation of a system of transformation applied to defined inputs and which produces defined outputs.  Defined inputs are transformed through a process to produce a defined output.  At its simplest conception a process is an open-ended input/output system similar to or equivalent to algorithmic functions in mathematics and physics.  This use is clearly described when reading either ISO 9001:2000 or ISO/IEC 12207 and conveys the unsubstantiated and unchallenged assumption that a process is a separable standalone unit of work, production or product transformation.  Furthermore, a "process" is assumed to be coupleable such that the outputs of one process can be coupled to the input of another process.  In this way separate ontologically reduced atomic processes can be coupled, joined or grouped together to create a larger system of processes which may in turn be represented as a higher-level process.
