Talk:The Blind Owl

message: Though I do not know Urdu, it seems to me that Sag-e-Awara (presented in the article as being the Urdu translation of Sag-e Velgard) should be Sag-e Aware, if not Sag-e Awareh, or Sag-e Awaré. For clarity, 1) the ending a sounds incorrect to me, 2) the hyphen between Sag-e and Awara seems to be redundant. Someone with a knowledge of Urdu should look into these possible inaccuracies.

The zero sum fallacy is a belief that attributing a zero sum quality to all relationships that involve an exchange of resources is incorrect because some resource exchange relationships are non zero sum.
In light of the fact that the Earth is a sphere and that all life on the earth constitutes the biosphere, it is apparent that the Earth and all life on it are quantifiably finite.  Additionally, the amount of solar energy that hits the surface of the Earth each day is finite.

Talk:Second Congo War

message: The Factions and Leaders Card of this article is somewhat confusing: anti-rwandan, anti-ugandan and anti-burundi militias are listed under the same tab as the DR Congo coalition, which may mislead people not throughly familiarized with the subject into thinking that all of them were part of a common alliance, while actually many of these militias, such as the FDLR and LRA were genocidal and opposed by all of the states involved. That problem is not present on the Uganda-Rwanda-Burundi tab, as it does properly recognize the militias listed there as "rwandan- and ugandan-aligned" militias. I therefore suggest that a third tab or a proper subdivision on the second tab should be created, so that the pro-government coalition and factions aligned with it is left on one side and the militias working against Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, but also against the DR Congo and its allies, be left on another side. I would do it myself but I have little editing expierence, so I make this call to my fellow Wikipedians to do it in my place.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZhiliTayN (talk • contribs) 15:18, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Policy/Proposed amendment

message: I propose limiting deliberations in arbitration cases to issues included in the complaint, excluding countercharges and other matters which may come up in the course of arbitration. If a person complained against comes up with a scattering of countercharges it is very tedious to go through them and requires a great deal of energy for very little return in most cases. Also the reaction of complaining witnesses when they find themselves in the dock for personal attacks or other infractions thus subject to mild sanctions is quite negative and creates a great deal more heat than light. While some disputes may be one on one, many concern an issue which has passed through the Wikipedia:Requests for comment procedure. In those cases where three or more users have certified the basis for the dispute the focus needs to be on the issues in the Request for comment. Fred Bauder 13:56, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
If Wikipedia:Arbitration policy is consulted it will be noted that it is silent on this issue. While it is implicit in two person dispute that both will have issues, it is not necessarily so in the type of complaint where a group of users are distressed by a users behavior. They may have sinned themselves but the focus is better placed on the main problem. Fred Bauder 13:56, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)
:I completely agree with the above proposition. Counter-complaints may be made appropriately in inter-personal disputes. But in disputes betwen a user and a significant portion of the community, it seems unfair to penalise those who represent the community. Essentially, the current policy allows the defendant to complain against the prosecutor.
:So, I think that the following rule may be created: in personal disputes (for instance, A charges B of personally attacking him, and vice versa), counter-charges are to be allowed, but in general community disputes (for instance, A charges B of vandalism, of using an inappropriate user name, of personally attacking a third party, of incorrectly using Administrative powers against a third party, etc.) counter-charges should not be suffered. -- Emsworth 19:31, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Middle Ages: Venetian Monopoly on Spice Trade 

message: The (unsourced) claim that a 100g referance amount of cinnamon contains 100% of the Daily Value of calcium is highly misleading.  Nobody is going to eat 100g of cinnamon in a day.  If you did you would become extremely ill according to the toxicity section which recommends a maximum of 0.1g per day. SpinningSpark 08:40, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The source for the table of nutrients and description in the text is the USDA FoodData Central displayed at the bottom of the table. Use of a 100 gram reference amount is standard in science and in Wikipedia nutrition sections to allow comparisons among foods. I made this edit to repair the USDA URL for the nutrition table and add clarification in the nutrition discussion. Zefr (talk) 17:07, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, putting the source inline would be far better than instructions in the visible text of how to find it.  More importantly, the source does not use language like "a rich source", it does not say that is 100% of the daily amount (it might be, but its not relevant and some kind of WP:SYNTH with another source is going on here), and nobody is likely to eat 2.6g in one go.  A teaspoon might go into a pie or casserole, but it won't all be eaten by one person.  You wouldn't put a teaspoonful in one cup of cinnamon coffee.  So I still say this is misleading and improperly cited. SpinningSpark 17:32, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Daily Value (or Reference Dietary Intake) is a linked source for whether food nutrient contents are "rich" (20% or more of DV), "moderate" (10-19% DV) or "low" (less than 10% DV) per designated serving. The table displays this clearly for calcium and other nutrients. Rather than complaining, be an editor and try to make it better. Zefr (talk) 18:42, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: The current text is "In a 100-gram (3.5 oz) reference amount, ground cinnamon is a rich source".

replies: text: Not a comparison of SDH and PDH.  Plesiosychronous does not refer to synchronization in your source (and the O'Reiley book doesn't distinguish despotic and mutual forms of synchronous clock distribution.  In PDH, plesiosynchronous refers to the multiplexing hierarchy.  For example, to multiplex T1 signals into T3 requires bit stuffing and justification of the T1 sources (which may have slightly different clocks), particularly where mutual clock synchronization is performed.  Slips may occur.  In SDH, the higher levels of the multiplexing hierarchy are precise multiples of the lower levels.  No bit stuffing or justification is performed.  No slips occur (just clock failures).  So you see, PDH allows almost synchronous tributaries to higher multiplexing levels, whereas SDH allows only synchronous tributaries.  SDH can carry PDH, but only by bit stuffing and justifying the PDH signal within the SDH payload. — Dgtsyb (talk) 14:48, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
