message: This is a factual correction of an obvious error.
In the Johannes Brahms article his house in Lichtental, Austria is wrongly said to be part of Baden-Baden in Germany. The Wikipedia entry for Lichtental says "Lichtental is a part of the district of Alsergrund, Vienna. It was an independent municipality until 1850." There has probably been a confusion between the cities of Baden in Austria (about 20 miles to the south of Vienna) and Baden-Baden in Germany (hundreds of miles away). However, in any event the German language version of the article on Lichtental does not mention Baden.  It is also possible that there has been a confusion between Brahms and Beethoven (who did live in Baden, Austria for a time)
ACTION 
The mention and link to Baden-Baden should be removed. It could be replaced with a mention of Baden bei Wien, whose Wikipedia page is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baden_bei_Wien 90.89.76.18 (talk) 12:12, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Elevator paradox

message: The article mentions that Moritz Stern and George Gamow first noted this paradox, so I added the centuries they lived in so people can have a general idea of when they first noted this paradox. Except it also goes on to say that they both worked in the same building at the same time, except the problem is that George Gamow was born ten years after Moritz Sterns death, meaning that they couldn't possibly have ever worked on the same building at the same time to discuss this paradox. Assuming that Gamow was able to think about paradoxes at the age of 20, and assuming that Mortiz could think of paradoxes in his old age of 93 years old, that still leaves a 30 year gap when these two men supposedly came up with this paradox. Which is a paradox in itself! JayKeaton (talk) 19:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Vanity Furniture

message: What about an entry as Vanity as a character trait? 71.65.54.92 21:28, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character trait 

message: In psychology, vanity could be considered an ego defense or a compensatory behavior. This defense might arise out of a inner or outer power struggle over perceived attractiveness or value. This compensatory response might arise from a mis-attribution of the source of perceived attractiveness or value. For example, if the brain registers pleasure when receiving a compliment persistently and intensely it could shape a person's self-concept as being determined by outside sources. It might be valuable to perceive vanity as an addictive behavior to receive a pleasure that one does not realize can arise from one's self. This description is probably most closely aligned with Heinz Kohut and Self-psychology  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.148.33 (talk) 21:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Psychological underpinnings 

message: From the Wiki article on Vanity: 
# Vanity (compare Pride) is the excessive belief in one's own abilities or attractiveness to others. [NOTE: in the article on Pride, pride is equated with vanity and arrogance, at least in a Christian perspective]
# Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that "vanity is the fear of appearing original: it is thus a lack of pride, but not necessarily a lack of originality."
The two definitions are obviously antithetic: pride (1.) vs. lack of pride (2.).
A comment should be added to the main article underlining, and if possible trying to explain this antithesis.--Miguel de Servet 13:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

What objections do people have to the following changes:
*removing the links to "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" & "F.Y.R.O.M." which both redirect to "Republic of Macedonia"
*Clairifying the status of the name "Republic of Macedonia" (It is the country's constitutional name)
*linking the statment "language´s status discussed" to Talk:Macedonian language
The pharse "language's status discussed" is taken from the OEM web site.
It's entirely out of context here and has no reason to appear.
I've endeavoured to make a sensible link on the page, but the fact is, that web site really doesn't talk about languages at all, but about peoples.

message: I think the description of the RAM capability is missing the point. Game cartridges stored the game code in ROM and executed the game from ROM, so the 128 bytes RAM was only required for "variables". To load games from cassette there needed to be RAM to store the game code. 
Futher typically a game cartridge may be equipped with more or less ROM to accomodate a specific game. OTOH if a game did need more RAM then this would have had to be built into the cartridge pushing up costs
