message: The article says "have thinned the Bering Glacier by several thousand meters".  That means it was several kilometers thick, which reads like 4 or more kilometers, about 3 or more miles.  That is not credible.  Is there a firm source for it?  Zaslav (talk) 08:19, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Direct reference theory

message: Just to be clear, I don't think that Kripke ever uses the term 'direct reference'. Instead, he talks about rigid designation, and these are not the same exactly. I think that the term 'direct reference' was actually popularized by David Kaplan more than anyone else. Kaplan also talks about rigid designation, but it does not mean the same thing for him and for Kripke (for Kripke, x is a rigid designator iff x refers to the same thing in every possible world in which is refers at all. For Kaplan, the italicized part is removed, precisely because the way he formulates direct reference entails a stronger kind of rigidity.
The theory of direct reference for proper names was advanced by  by Ruth  Barcan Marcus in "Modalities and Intensional Languages", SYNTHESE, 1961 at a symposium with Quine, Kripke and others as participants. She called such directly referring proper names "tags". Kripke later urged the theory (1971) and thereafter. He called such names "rigid designators".
I know Prof. Kripke and he has said he does not endorse Direct Reference.  Rigid designation and direct reference are two separate theses.  The former is concerned not with semantics (as is direct reference) but with what object a proper name picks out in counter-factuals (a.k.a. possible worlds).  Kripke's thesis of rigid designation does serve as a refutation of description theory for proper names and it does point to the fact that whatever the semantic content of a proper name is, it must include the referent.  That said, however, it is still conceptually possible that the meaning of the name include other things as well, as Micheal Devitt has proposed.  Discussion of direct reference after Kripke should probably focus on some of his followers, such as Scott Soames and Nathan Salamon who took Kripke's work and re-articulated direct reference theory in light of it.  I'll try to edit this soon to reflect this fact.  -- PubliusNemo April 28, 2008  —Preceding comment was added at 15:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Does this really need a separate page? 

message: While the page exists I thought I'd better explain a major copy edit. If you state (for example) "...appeared in the Third Doctor story, The Claws of Axos", it implies that Axos was the only Third Doctor story. The defining commas should only be used where there can be only one of what is described beforehand. So you can say "Doctor Who's first producer, Verity Lambert" or "Former Doctor Who producer Verity Lambert". In other words, there can only be one first producer, but many former producers. This error appeared in virtually every entry, so I thought I'd better explain lest anyone take offence. None intended. :-) Chris 42 17:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Theories 

message: I remark some form of copy behaviour by some party's. I think the best example is the climate change in the US and in Europe. In the US this policy has to do with a great number of persons who think themselves in conflict with Darwin and are strongly inclined to show that science can be wrong. There is also an important coal industry who is interested in building off some regulations and in the same thing showing that science could be wrong. That give an explicit or implicit coalition what can bring a number of votes and industrial support to a party that take that view in their program. You find the same groups supporting climate denial and creationism.
The situation in Europe is quite different. Creationism is exceptional, many European countries have no longer a coal industry. But some industries may still be ready to support party's that are prepared to put these idea's in their programs. But it is still bizarre that the US idea's are copied by certain actors while the context is so different.
With the covid-19 it may be there is a similar evolution. We see president Trump, while he knows very well the dangers of this virus, publicly underplaying it, probably while trying to support the stock market for his reelection. (Doesn't many US citizens need the stock market to be good for there pension?) And we see some groups here in another context trying to criticize the measures against the virus. While it is possible to ask questions about this measures I have the impression that that criticism is coming mainly from the same places that are already copying other things from the same source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.235.105.194 (talk) 18:43, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

For these reasons I'm removing from this Sea Princess article the following claim --

I've updated both ship articles to indicate that they've both carried the Adonia name in the past.
