Talk:Self-determination

message: Maybe not in de US, but in Europe, self-detemination as a notion is tied to the basic classical human rights principle for individuals. The concept of 'self-ownership' isn't known as a notion for the right for a person in Europe. When European countries speak about the content of this article they give the article a name like: Selbestimmungsrecht der Völker (de), Droit des peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes (fr), Autodeterminazione dei popoli (it), Samostanowienie narodów (pl Self-determination of nations) or Den nationale selvbestemmelsesret (da National self-determinatiion right) or Nationellt självbestämmande (sw National self-determinatiion) etc.
In the UN treaties the frase is: "self-determination of peoples" (UN Charter) and "All peoples have the right of self-determination" (International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights / Civil and Political Rights. To give room (in other language versions) for an article on the right of self-determination (for individuals), linked to the english language version on self-determination, and Google finding the right article, it would be good the english version makers respect other countries, other cultures and other language versions and think about changing the name of an article with the content this article has, into "Self-determination_of_peoples". Thanks and keep up the good work VanArtevelde (talk) 19:44, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd suggest that this isn't done.  I'm aware that there are several countries that dispute what constitutes a "people", whose arguments basically deny that a population constitutes a people with the right to self-determination.  Guatemala does it ref Belize, Argentine ref the Falklands, Spain ref Gibraltar.  Renaming is likely to trigger ethnic disputes and is unnecessary in my opinion. WCMemail 09:13, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

text: Self-determination in this sense, rather than the personal psychological/philosophical sense, appears to be the common meaning. Searching self-determination gives you first and foremost the international law principle. Iskandar323 (talk) 09:25, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:List of mayors of Washington, D.C.

message: This isn't really a "List of mayors of Washington, DC", but rather the executives of the District plus those of the included municipalities.  I have tried to clean up the intro to reflect this a little better.  The title (today's COMMONNAME notwithstanding) is a bit confusing.  Perhaps it can be retitled.  "List of mayors of and within the District of Columbia"?  With the current title as a redirect to the Home Rule period?  Food for thought.  Someone can surely do better.  Possibly we break out "DC executives", City of Washington, Georgetown, with appropriate cross-links to connect them all up.  Also, if the article is to include the City of Washington and Georgetown when they existed separately within the District, shouldn't it also include Alexandria for the period prior to 1846 when it was part of the District?  Also food for thought, but that one seems clearer to me.  "Yes."  Comments welcome.  JohnInDC (talk) 22:16, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: JohnInDC, I hope we're headed in the same direction here, with good faith and good humor.  You'll let me know if not.  I just discovered that the list of Alexandria's mayors during its D.C. period is -- entirely missing from List of mayors of Alexandria, Virginia, without explanation.  Very odd.  Odd indeed.  --Lockley (talk) 23:36, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Putting my money where my mouth is, Lockley - I keep saying that if these other articles are confusing, we should improve them!

Talk:BITNET

message: BITNET, Bitnet, BITnet, BITNet?  The variations from seemingly reputable sources are staggering. Grier and Campbell, in their scholarly social history of
BITNET, consistently use Bitnet, but CREN, the closest thing we have today to
a successor to BITNET, consistently uses BITNET.  So, I've standardized on BITNET. Logically, "BITNet" makes to most sense to me, but I've never seen that version anywhere. ;=)  Bill 17:07 26 Jun 2003 (UTC)
: I used BITNET in the mid-1980s, and I never saw it written as BITNet. I believe BITNET was the prefered form, with Bitnet a possible acceptable alternative.
: IBM had a history of ALL-CAPS ACRONYMS, so this might be why BITNET is the common form. 
: One point on BITNET as store and forward -- I belive BITNET also allowed one to PASSTHRU (rlogin/telnet) from one machine to another on the network. I am also sure that a form of instant messaging from one node to another was possible. Perhaps BITNET was only store and forward for email. --Zippy 06:39, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:The Trial

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
Following the positive feedback on Talk:Franz Kafka, I would like to add an article focusing on the relation between Kafka and visual ornament into the section  Bibliography . Given the fact that it was recently published in a prestigious peer-reviewed journal published by Routledge (indexed in Scopus), the article could be very helpful to anyone interested in Kafka´s work, and especially in the visual aspects of The Trial. Please let me know whether this is possible. Here are the references:

Talk:Human nature

message: This section does not relate to human nature in any capacity, aside from the one unsourced claim that hormones can affect human instincts. Testosterone is the only hormone listed under this section, so unless others are added, so unless every other hormone known to affect human instincts is going to be included I don't think it warrants its own subheading. The section is also labelled as 'missing information' which means it does not fully encapsulate the discussion necessary for including it. The requested information on this label also does not seem particularly relevant to the topic of the article, so I would suggest writing about the way hormones affect human instincts in a different article and removing it from this one. WillNop (talk) 19:50, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deletion of Hormones Section 

message: The sentence "Rousseau's proposal that human nature is malleable became a major influence upon international revolutionary movements of various kinds, while Hume's approach has been more typical in Anglo-Saxon countries, including the United States.[citation needed]" does not seem relevant to me, further lacks specificity.

Talk:Burali-Forti paradox

message: Does this paradox rely on the fact that sets cannot contain themselves?  If so, somebody should note that it does not apply to some of the post-ZFC theories which are consistent in the presence of self-containing sets; for example [Positive set theory]
Megacz 03:21, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm 90% certain that the paradox doesn't rely on the axiom of regularity, since it was formulated in the 19th century before this rather obscure axiom was an issue. Indeed, Frege's system patently denied the axiom of regularity, but the paradoxes that caused so much consternation (of which this was the first) were true contradictions only in Frege's system (the first formal system proposed in those days). -- Toby Bartels 04:15, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  The axiom of regularity is indeed a red herring here. Since we have an inherent antinomy, we can derive a contradiction to anything, be it true, false, axiom or not. Also as Toby says, the axiom of regularity was only introduced later. -- Mellum 12:03, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Paradox about sets containing themselves?

message: The paradox does not depend on anything about membership per se.  It depends on the
supposed possibility of assigning an order type to every isomorphism type of well-orderings,
combined with the observation that the order types are then naturally ordered, and each
order type (ordinal number) is the order type of the segment it determines in the natural order on order types.  See the generalization of the argument that I inserted.
