Talk:Libre Manifesto

message: I can't find Libre Manifesto too easily on Google. Are we just spreading someone's idea, or a somewhat widely accepted lifestyle/theorem/manifesto/whatever. - user:zanimum
Libre Society are a diffuse movement built around radical dadaism etc. Their diffuseness causes real location problems - much as in the same way that trying to locate and define dadaism is extremely difficult as they deliberately were ironic and confusing as to their intentions and aims.

thread_title:  Title breaks if table is hidden 

message: How about a mention of the fact that the most common form of colorblindness (1 in 14 males) can't distinguish between red, yellow, and green? I once read that green lights are blueish-green in order to be distinguishable for those with red-green colorblindness. Is this universal? Regulated? Since when?
I recall an anecdote where some American town with a large Irish population flipped its traffic lights, so that green was on top, but this had to be undone because the orientation of the lights must be consistent for colorblind people. But if this were the only way for them to distinguish the lights, wouldn't they have to stare at the lights rather than relying on peripheral vision?
Just a couple of things I'm curious about; and I imagine there might be more to say on the topic. SSSheridan (talk) 10:10, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Magna Carta

message: This isn't high on my agenda to check through, but the anti-Jewish clauses could do with explanation sometime. I can help with the background (how KJ and other Kings abused the loans system to force the sale of loans to themselves at cut prices, and then to leverage land repossessions). The question pf the Jews was one of the great obsessions of the Church and landholders in the 1200s. I understand there is controversy over whether there was any meaning to them, but they were clearly on the minds of the framers of the document. Jim Killock (talk) 09:55, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some point the antisemitic clauses needed addressing 

message: Hallo all. I'd like other opinions on the inclusion of details of a Just Stop Oil protest on the page. I added the following which has been reverted under WP:NOTNEWS guidance.
"On 10 May 2024, activists wearing Just Stop Oil t-shirts staged a protest at the British Library's magna carta display."
I could also now add BBC reference https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68991038
I would argue that this episode belongs on the page as much as the other information in the 'legacy' section. This is a significant public engagement with one of the charters, and has already given rise to broad coverage. The act, and reactions to it, are all exemplary of the symbolic place that Magna Carta holds today. I was careful to add to the 'legacy' section rather than create a new section in respect of this.
In what way does the episode not constitute as notable? Or rather, what conditions around the event would take it out of news and into wiki territory? With thanks. Medievalfran (talk) 16:19, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Magna Carta is a 13th century document, and this article covers its history and influence over the last 800 years. Even allowing for the fact that today's protest may be well-sourced, it's still simply a very minor item of today's news that has no place in such a wide-ranging article, per Wikipedia:UNDUE.

Talk:Top (category theory)

message: This is the wrong name.  TOP is not usually the name given to the category of topological manifolds, this name is reserved by the majority of people for the category of topological SPACES.  This should be changed and another link made for category of manifolds.
Hmm...  I gave a reference for the usage I claim.  It is a major work (Annals of Math series), 35 reference citations and 11 review citations in the MathSciNet database, etc.)  
Here's a second one: page 251 of Characteristic Classes by Milnor and Stasheff, also in the Annals of Math Studies series, one author a Fields Medalist, 72 reference citations in MathSciNet.
On the other hand, MathSciNet also turns up a good number of papers which use the term in the sense you originally claimed.  It looks to me like Top is used in your sense by point set topologists and in the sense I gave by geometric and differential topologists.  I am therefore giving both meanings.Michael Larsen 01:46, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)
Talk:Johns Hopkins University

message: GGO111 is insisting that the lede of this article include the following sentence and sources: "It is consistently ranked among the top and most prestigious universities in the United States and the world."
Unfortunately, those sources don't support the assertion. In fact, rankings from a single year or even a few different years cannot support that statement. Moreover, it's inappropriate for a Wikipedia editor to synthesize a few different rankings to make this kind of claim. We need some high quality, independent sources that explicitly support these claims, especially in the lede. ElKevbo (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: At the least, these references only back up the "United States" part of the statement. All three of the cited sources list only US institutions; a credible source would also need to back up the "and the world" part of this statement. Captain Prog (talk) 14:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: The discussion at WP:HIGHERED REP doesn't provide a clear road map, but I do see the point about the potentially OR nature of referring to it as "consistently ranked." Maybe a more appropriate way to integrate the reputation into the lede would be to reference some of the individual rankings themselves. Or if a more synthetic approach is preferred, Harvard University gives us an example of it done with reliable secondary sources directly making the assertion of its prestige (footnote 9). I do think similar examples could be found for JHU as well. Sauzer (talk) 17:56, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: A more synthetic approach is required. If this is information that is important enough to be included in the lede, editors should be able to provide sources that explicitly support it. ElKevbo (talk) 23:15, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Wagner/Archive 4

message: Note from Tel Aviv, Israel, August 2003 -- the unofficial "ban" on performances of Wagner's music is still very much in force. The performance of Act I of Die Walkure that was supposed to take place in 2001 (referred to in the text) never occurred, Daniel Barenboim backed down at the last moment. He did, however, conduct a snippet -- I think the Siegfried Rhine Journey music, but I can't remember -- as an encore in a concert, but only after a long and heated argument, in hebrew, with the audience. This caused so much trouble that no one has attempted to repeat it since. It is now apparent that for the moment, the anti-Wagnerites have won and the ban will stay in force, if only out of respect for the remnant of holocaust survivors in the society, who are felt to have suffered enough. In the meantime the economic situation here has become so dire that the question is now more whether there will still be orchestras, operas, public venues at all, rather than what in particular they will be performing.
Please note that government-owned radio and television stations broadcast Wagner's works frequently, it is only public performances that are problematic. And Richard Strauss's music-- he really WAS a Nazi -- is performed here, though not perhaps with the regularity seen elsewhere.

Beginning in the summer of 2005, a series of protests were staged by Christiania members.

message: There is nothing in the sentence to say that the glyphs are petrographic (they could very well be about the cwm fjord bank, or be written on parchment, wood, or any other material - change the preposition in my sentence to fit). The sentence is not about a quiz (as in, a test) about the cwm fjord bank (who says it's on archeology, even), nor is the correct usage of "vext" to challenge validity. Also, the elaboration still uses most of the unfamiliar words of the sentence (Nordic fjord means nothing if you do not know what a fjord is, and cwm is just raw.)

In particular it marked out the DKs as a 'proper' punk band like British punk in contrast to the more polished rock and roll of the MC5, NYD and Ramones.
