Talk:Tetrad (Greek philosophy)

message: The definition may not be correct - eg see  A Short History of Greek Mathematics, James Gow, p62 as one example - gives usage as referring to "groups of 4" - does this term actually have a specific meaning? or is it just untranslated greek term for "set of four".
At the least this requires greek sources for verification- not modern sources speculating on meaning.Imgaril (talk) 04:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Accuracy

message: A tetrad is four of something, like a quartet, while a tetractys is a triangular pattern of ten (10) elements. If someone looks up tetrad and gets redirected to tetractys he will be confused. The redirection tetrad -> tetractys is wrong and harmful. Please undo it. ¨¨¨¨  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.251.27.165 (talk) 14:31, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Maya Bridge at Yaxchilan

message: Found on the web:  "Theobert Maler published already 1903 his supposition
that the pier of Yaxchulan belonges to a bridge over the river
Usumacinta?"  This information should be in the article;  could someone track down this source and provide a full reference?  I expect it is in German.  --Una Smith (talk) 17:06, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pier 

message: Although this is presented as fact, the notion of a bridge here at Yaxchilan is still highly speculative. The article should present it as a theory. Moreover, only one pier has been discovered.  It is quite possible that there was no bridge at all, but rather a customs station, or some defensive structure to control traffic on the river.

Talk:Time Within Time: The Diaries 1970–1986

message: Hi there. If you open up 'Time Within Time' you will find that Martyrolog is translated in English as Martyrology. Bear in mind that this translation was by Tarkovsky's official English translator Kitty Hunter-Blair. The translation of Martyrology was also taken up by Tarkovsky scholar Natasha Synessios. However, even though it is incorrect of you to say that my translation is 'original research' I actually think you have an important point. There are sound grounds to argue that instead of Martyrology, Martyrolog might be better translated as 'The Log (ie diary) of a Martyr'. kind regards. 82.27.90.157 (talk) 18:10, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm more concerned about presentation of this to the reader than to the exact "translation": the formulation  implies that "martyrolog" is a valid word in an (unspecified) language, which is then somehow "translated" to English. Now, when I open the book, it is clear that Tarkovsky intended it as a nonce word: . It's useless to "translate" an ad-hoc coined word, where any educated reader can infer the morphology by themselves (I hate treating readers like idiots; see WP:OVERLINK), and Tarkovsky has purposefully left it open to interpretation anyway.And, by the way, martyrology is indeed an (obscure) thing in English and we even have an article about it, which makes it doubly confusing. No such user (talk) 08:45, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: You say that nobody knows what Martyrolog  (or Martyrology) means and yet Tarkovsky says that he has used the title as a reminder of his own 'ineradicable worthlessness'. What he means here is that his self-definition as an artist of noble intentions may turn out to be nothing more than a vain martyr complex. Wisely, Tarkovsky makes these self-doubts fully transparent. Thankfully, Tarkovsky's humility and self-doubt turned out to be unfounded - although a sign of his sanity. Tarkovsky turned out to be one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. As for the title The Bright Day (also known as A White, White, Day) this was an early title for Tarkovsky's masterpiece Mirror and has nothing to do with his diaries. In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti. 82.27.90.157 (talk) 16:49, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I didn't say that – Tarkovsky did; that's a quote from the book. My point is that you cannot say that "Martyrology" is English while "Martyrolog" is not: both are equally (in)valid English words. The former was just a choice of one translator to translate a difficult word with lots of subtle undertones. No such user (talk) 16:57, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just a question of copy-editing style. I would personally not bother to mention martyolog or martyrology in the lead section. It lacks sufficient importance to warrant mention. But that's just my personal opinion. best wishes. 82.27.90.157 (talk) 13:10, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

I do not believe the article has been written in a neutral objective point of view, in particular the aims section is what concerns me the most.

message: Category:Horse breeds Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search 
The articles below are about various horse and pony breeds, including extinct breeds, some color breeds, as well as several types of horses sometimes mistaken for breeds, plus some articles related to horse breeding and selective breeding. Most articles about types of horses, rather than breeds, should be categorized under Category:Types of horses.
the text above indicates the article is fine to go in horse breeds cat
:But that is not the way we are using it.  These redirects aren't even articles.  We need the horse breeds to parallel existing breeds because otherwise it's near-impossible to maintain our list article without hours of painstaking review.
