Talk:Nokia Communicator

message: Why are the 9300 and 9300i not considered Communicators? Please give a source for this assertion. --Hansh 17:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nowhere are they referred to as 'Communicators' on the Nokia website or in any Nokia documentation. You can't really cite a reference for what something isn't, but something like  this might make the point? Wibbble 21:53, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the clarification. It seems that Nokia only sometimes refers to it as a "smartphone" while almost everyone else just calls it a Communicator, since it 'looks' like one, but... ah well. Perhaps it is so that anyone looking for an actual Communicator would be compelled to buy a more expensive 9500. --Hansh 00:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't think it's anything as involved as that - there's been some weird marketing things at Nokia over the years. IIRC, the 9300i isn't significantly cheaper than the 9500 - it's essentially the same device, just without a camera (saves a little) and smaller (costs a lot). The new E90 is definitely branded as a communicator, though. Wibbble 23:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

On the table, two latest are 9500 and E90. Of those, E90 clearly belongs to that series, but 9500? Probably not? Or has there been another one on the table which has been since removed? I can't explain that otherwise. But, that claim in the article seems not to be true. 85.217.21.105 (talk) 02:41, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Agreed, it is a proper source. Is it infallible? Of course not, but neither is any other source used in Wikipedia. An editor needs to be discriminating. If Find a Grave has an entry for someone whose dates of birth and death are already well documented elsewhere and the decedent's entry has a photo of the gravestone with that same info, it is pretty hard to refute that the person is indeed buried there. Is it metaphysically possible that the photo was posted for the wrong cemetery? Yes. But not very likely. On the other hand, I have personally seen entries while doing historical research on topics that some people just enter the names of family members who are supposed to be buried in Cemetery ABC (and who might be), but the posters haven't actually been there to photograph the grave marker. They might be right, but that is not knowable from the entry on-line. But, it is not appropriate to write off the entire soure because of some mistakes. After all, it is not true that you can put anything you like on the website. Or at least, you can't maintain it that way. I have myself found typos (e.g., misspellings of names that don't match the photo), but those can be fixed (or challenged if need be, although I have never seen it come to that). There is a blank where some users will post biographical sketches beyond what appear on the actual gravestones. Those are typically cited to newspapers (often with scans of the pages attached). But, for confirmation of the fact that someone was buried in a spot, an entry with a photo of the marker is compelling evidence of the burial and the info actually placed on the marker (presumably by a family member or close friend).

Talk:Michael Tye (philosopher)

message: I started this page on Michael Tye today.  I doubt that I need to establish his notability to anyone who is familiar with the philosophy of mind, but if anyone has serious doubts, just let me know.  For what it's worth, I did include a review by Bill Brewer of Oxford University in the External Links section.  That should suffice for most people.
Anyway, I do not yet have a date of birth or a fair use picture of Tye.  I am e-mailing him about the DOB question, but I am unfamiliar with how photo policy works.  I'll be looking into it; but if anyone more knowledgeable in that area wants to get a picture in the meantime, please be my guest.
I also don't know what the policy is on including articles under the "Works" heading.  I see that entries on both contemporary and historical philosophers tend to focus on their subject's books.  I'll probably be cross-listing this question at WikiProject Philosophy. Postmodern Beatnik 17:54, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Superman (Lazlo Bane song)

message: User:Twistandshout28 added the type "Promotional single", which I reverted. The justification provided was mainly the following page: . I do not dispute that "promotional single" applies to a particular recording issued, but I do dispute that it defines the song itself. Essentially, the fact that a promo recording of the song exists (and is the source for the infobox image) is beside the point. Regardless of whether or not a promotional recording of the song was made, this article describes the song, which was commercially released on an album (or multiple albums), appeared on a show, a film, etc. I don't think "promotional recording" applies. But I'm also not going to argue about it much - I just wanted to present my reasoning here. --Fru1tbat (talk) 21:10, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

message: The use of this image was restricted following the IFD discussions. It was deemed not appropriate to Criticism of the Qur'an and was removed by an admin following closure of the discussion. Had there not been a relevant article (Submission (film)), the image would have been deleted.

replies: text: DRV is really for contesting the outcome of any deletion decision, but only when you think that the closing admin decided it wrong. You probably want to take this to Wikipedia:Fair use review instead. The principle that we're trying to uphold here is the minimal use of non-free content. I didn't feel it was necessary in Criticism of the Qur'an because you're only illustrating the one sentence "The film Submission, which rose to fame after the murder of Theo van Gogh, critiqued this and similar verses of the Qur'an by displaying them painted on the bodies of abused Muslim women." That might be enough to warrant the image's inclusion, but the film has its own article, so anyone can go there and see the image just fine. howcheng  {chat} 16:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :On their 2004 compilation The Best of Both Worlds the track is ironically given a sudden stop mid-way through the outro (not finishing what was started) as opposed to the fade out on the OU812 version.
While I haven't heard the "best of" version, this description seems nonsensical to me (and probably WP:OR). Aren't song fade-outs examples of "not finishing what was started"?

That doesn't necessarily mean that this article is wrong, because the constellations tend to get the name from each other, so that besides mentioned as lesser and greater bear, they're mentioned as lesser and greater wain.

replies: text: (1) Most of the text in question was written by me, as you should have been able to determine for yourself by looking at the article history. I have no connection to Robson nor to her publishers, as a little more research would have told you. Please review WP:AGF and stop tossing around unjustified accusations of conflicts of interest. (2) It was intended as a factual description of what her works are about, not as praise for them, and if there are reliably published and factual critiques of her work that are inadequately represented here, I would be happy to include them as well. (3) I think that many of Wikipedia's articles on academics, limited as they are to the career milestones of the person in question, are sadly inadequate. I think we should have a lot more descriptive coverage of their actual accomplishments and works. So I find your argument that many other articles don't have this sort of thing to be completely unpersuasive. The correct solution to that problem is to fix up the other articles, not to lobotomize this one. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:10, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

message: :It is simply too convenient to attribute roots of words to a hypothetical language, when the evidence for such derivations is absolutely nil.
:The notion that 'Kalamos' is derived from Proto-Indo-European, simply because similar words exist in 2 other Indo-European languages, Latin and Sanskrit, is without basis in fact. Latin absorbed a huge amount of Greek words, and Calamus is very likely one of them. Likewise, after the conquests of Alexander through central Asia up to to India, various Hellenistic kingdoms were established, including the Graeco-Bactrian kingdom and the Indo-Greek kingdom. A large amount of Greek knowledge (for example, Greek astronomy), culture, and linguistic terms entered India in this way.
