Talk:Texas State Library and Archives Commission

message: It appears we may have a blatant conflict of interest here according to the rules at WP:COI.  User:Tslac cesar has repeatedly removed information about  the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. The user in one deletion subject line gave this reason for action: "Previous "Present day" misrepresents our current situation and strikes an unpleasant tone; pls respect our need for a fairer, factual representation.)  Key word here is "our" used twice that suggests  Tslac cesar is a paid employee or representative of the Commission. Tslac cesar has made no other edits to any article.  The Wiki rule is "COI editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups.

Talk:Penguin

message: Should there be a separate article for fossil penguins? I don't think there needs to be, but it could happen. Speaking of which, it should be noted under "Poorly Understood Taxa" if the fossils were only found in one location, a single bone or skeleton, etc. The "Notes" section only has the alternate names for the penguins. 64.124.38.140 (talk) 13:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fossil/Prehistoric Penguins? 

message: Would it be at all possible to split the "Fossil genera" section from the rest of the article? Specific types of prehistoric penguins have their own separate articles, and it would make sense to tie them back into a separate article. The biggest problem of making a separate article would be that both articles would become considerably short. You could fix this by having some information the same on both articles. 64.124.38.140 (talk) 14:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Assumption of risk

message: This is another area where U.S. law has diverged significantly from U.K. law and it makes no sense to merge because the articles are talking about two different things.  Although the maxim "volenti non fit injuria" is still quoted in contemporary U.S. cases up to the present, it is usually quoted as part of a discussion of the history underlying the contemporary assumption of risk doctrine.  The maxim itself is relatively unknown, is not a major point in tort law courses, and would get blank stares from most U.S. attorneys, who are more familiar with the "assumption of risk" terminology.  Also, it sounds like as if U.K. law has not yet developed the important distinction between primary and secondary assumption of risk (which many recent cases in the U.S. turn on).  --Coolcaesar 06:46, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  I am opposing the proposed merge 

message: Specificly, I was wondering about Amusement Parks and roller coasters, but I think this could apply to other issues. In this case I would mean, a roller coaster (designed to appear frightening while being actually harmless) breaking down and causing injury, against say, someone going on a roller coaster and having a heart attack when they knew it was a possibility. I am not sure on heart attack unknown before the ride begins. I am bad with the googles so my searches as usual turned up very little in regards to this.
Any additional information about activities which are supposed to function as an inducing of temporary fear while being designed to never actually horrify or cause injury. The roller coaster was the best I could think of. 74.128.56.194 (talk) 08:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Redirect 

message: Referencing a biased organisation without expressly mentioning that the organisation is biased is misleading. There is a passage which I noticed contained language I had seen in other propaganda, I checked, and it was indeed from Cruelty-Free International. "A cosmetic ingredient" is not a thorough description, and to then say that the animal is treated cruelly is subjective. The animals may have been treated cruelly, but we don't know, and if we don't know, it's best to not make such allegations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.27.157.230 (talk) 21:06, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

message: I just want to bring up how people often think that cruelty-free and vegan labels are interchangeable.

message: Let me be the first to identify what may become the most disputed aspect of the article: whether it should open with "A" or "An", i.e.

My understanding of general practise is that the first of these is more common now and that's what we see in the first draft: "A historical figure is a person who lived long ago."

thread_title: Indefinite article

message: I like this new section about the ideas of Hegel and others.  Please note the coincidence that the article Zeitgeist was also recently at AFD and so I added some material about Hegel's ideas to that.  We should perhaps include some cross-linkage between that article and this and also do the same with Great Man theory, pulling the latter into the main body from the See also section.
In Zeitgeist, I wrote that "the concept counters the Great Man theory popularised by Thomas Carlyle...".  In the section here, the two are shown to be pulling in the same direction, "Hegel, Thomas Carlyle and others noted that the great historical figures were just representative men,".  This seems to be something of a contradiction but I suppose it's mostly a matter of perspective - how one approaches and views their writings.

thread_title: Concept and usage

message: The expanded lead was recently a summary of the rest of the article but now contains supporting citations.  My general understanding is that citations are not normally expected in the lead, as it summarises the main body of the article, where the citations will usually appear.  This article may require strong support for its statements though, as some may disagree with them otherwise.  But we risk the lead diverging from the rest of the article if it appears to stand by itself and I have seen this happen in other controversial cases.  I have no clever solution to offer but just wanted to document the issue which may arise later at places like GA review. Warden (talk) 09:10, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

message: "It is easy to construct an example for which the convex hull contains all input points, but after the insertion of a single point the convex hull becomes a triangle."
What is this supposed to mean? I cannot come up with any interpretation that makes sense.
:Consider a circular arc, entirely contained within an isosceles triangle and stretching from one end of the base of the triangle to the other end. Start with a set of input points equally spaced on this arc, with no other points. Its convex hull has all the points on the arc as vertices. Now insert one more point, the apex of the triangle. The new convex hull has only three vertices, the vertices of the triangle. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Captain America (serial)

message: Of the two characters the serial version of Captain America was a replacement for - Mr. Scarlet or the Black Bat - the more likely candidate is the Black Bat because (1) The Black Bat had no kid sidekick, as did the serial version of Captain America; (2) The Black Bat had a secretary who helped him in his adventures and was also the one who'd saved his life and later had his eyesight restored surgically.  The serial's Captain Anerica also has a secretary who assists him on his adventures; the name Grant Gardner has the same three syllables as the name Tony Quinn, was the Black Bat's real identity, so the switch would've been an easy one for the serial writers.  It is likely - or so I believe - that Fox Publications, who owned the Black Bat character, withdrew the character from the serial after making a deal with DC Comics head Whitney Ellsworth not to transfer the character to other media.  The character was then replaced by Captain America in the script.  For the comic, the Black Bat was replaced by a character called the Mask, alias Tony Trent.Glammazon (talk) 00:02, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
