thread_title: Biography

message: Since this article has no sources, hasn't had any sources for a long time, and appears to be written based on a press release, I'm inclined to turn it into a stub (a couple of sentence of bare facts), and ask that people only add sourced material. Does anyone think they can find reliable, secondary sources for this biography?   Will Beback  talk   10:10, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Place of birth

message: Astrodatabank (see Source Notes) contains a copy of the birth record and quotes the correct date and place of birth from it, 25 April 1931 in Ponce, PR. I updated the page.  --Aloist (talk) 12:08, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, we cannot accept your 25 April 1931 DOB because of the way how Wikipedia operates. The sources you are providing (Astrodatabank and Mercado's birth certificate from Astrodatabank) are not reliable sources (see WP:RS), and WP cites must come from reliable sources. Even if the cites you provided had come from reliable sources, at least one of them (the copy of the BC) would not be acceptable because presenting a copy of Mercado's birth certificate would also not pass WP's musterd as at Wikipedia we don't edit based on primary source documents (also known as primary sources), such as birth certificates. We, instead, depend of secondary sources, such as books and magazine articles. Working from primary sources is considered original research and isn't allowed. The secondary sources currently in the article state he was born on 9 March 1932 and that's the date that WP can use. Incidentally, due to conflict of interest policies at WP, you should exercise care when editing articles in the encyclopedia that source cites to Astrodatabank, since in this page you state you are involved with Astrodatabank.

message: Mass transfer occurs due to differences in chemical potential, not concentration. (Otherwise how would the stars in the astrophysics section form?) I'm not sure what's going on with this page. Is the "Common Types of Mass Transfer" section incomplete? ChE Fundamentalist (talk) 19:48, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problems with the engineering 

message: The Chemical Engineering section is very ambiguous in terms of what its been talking about. I would recommend to add how heat transfer relates to mass transfer. How the gradients of concentration  can relate to the gradient of temperature in a control volume. Perhaps giving an example of a common chemical engineer control volume such as a CSTR, where you define the mass balances,mole balances and the temperature balance showing how they relate to each other. To add more mathematics behind the concept , you could also solve the system of equations by using Laplace transformers ( this could make the subject a little bit more mathematically complex) but your readers with a chemical engineer background can appreciate it.

Talk:Straight edge

message: Veganism in punk music goes back to Crass in the late 1970s. According to members of the Swedish punk band, there is a huge difference between American and European straight edge. It was hyper political in Europe, veganism, feminism, etc. In the USA it was completely apolitical. Dennis Lyxzén of Refused said that in the USA it was a "life style patch" that you would put on when you were to be seen in public.
There is always problems when you deal with radically different cultures like America and European. As a European I read things through secular eyes. I have no concept of religion. In the USA, everything is about religion. Maybe this should be divided into American and European straight edge, because much of the stuff mentioned makes no sense to a European. I guess it's the same the other way around.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.253.73.146 (talk) 15:34, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crass, Conflict, etc. 

message: I read an interview with the “Godfather of Vegan Straight Edge”, Patrick “Rat” Poole and it says,
"When was the first time someone used the term Vegan Straight Edge? What’s the world’s first vegan straight edge band and what’s the story of the bands you’ve been involved in prior to the birth of Vegan Reich / Statement?
Ha, well, if you read about Hardline on wikipedia, it states that I came up with the term Vegan Straight Edge. I’ve recently spoken to Sean Muttaqi (Vegan Reich) about this, and he confirms that it was me!"
There's a reference on the Hardline page, but not here. Poole's mention but not relating to this.
As an aside, I find both topics, especially the Hardline one, a little problematic in the way they/it portray the ideas as a "gang code" or rigidly adhered to identity required to be a member of something (that basically didn't exist beyond an op-ed in a 'zine), as if it was Mean Girls. It get worse when claims like "influenced by Islam" are included. I'm guessing they were written by people who weren't alive at the time? --Danny Mamby (talk) 08:17, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origins of term 

message: Per recommendation from Damien Linnane, raising the issue of what seems like unnecessary muddling in the second paragraph. The sentence "some left-leaning activists" is vague and selectively biased. There is nothing to suggest some right-leaning activists don't view straight edge with hostility. In fact, straight edge as a reaction to the status quo puts it in contrast with the right-wing's adherence to the status quo. The inclusion of the sentence also gives the false impression that straight edge isn't generally left-leaning. Haenfler calls straight edgers "(usually) progressive."https://haenfler.sites.grinnell.edu/subcultures-and-scenes/straight-edge/ To avoid causing misperception, I believe the sentence should be removed or replaced with a more precise statement on the political identity of straight edgers.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:9180:6AD0:91D5:49C7:DA8:CED0 (talk) 07:15, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Its first four paragraphs are generally pretty good. I think this page needs to incorporate specifically the explanation for them as demythologized Babylonian creation myths. IncandescentBliss (talk) 18:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should we add details from the “Genesis creation narrative” page? 

message: In Luke 3 it shows the genealogy of Jesus right through to Adam. Your information needs to be corrected. There aren’t two separate accounts of creation either, they are the same. One provides an overview while the other is more detailed. It is quite possible too that the authors may have been different and provided those insights by God in different ways for the same message. So as a correction there is direct linage from Jesus back to Adam. Jesus is often referred to as the second Adam. The first bought death and the second bought life. 220.235.136.97 (talk) 19:35, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Marilyn Monroe

message: In "Screen persona and reception" content, it is mentioned Marilyn Monroe was associated with "white ethnics". It gives Arthur Miller as an example but writes "Jewish" as his ethnicity. Miller is white, an Ashkenazi jew to be exact. Writing "Jewish" isn't enough as the majority of jews have Mizrahi ancestry (jews with middle eastern, north African and central Asian ancestry). This tiny correction can help acknowledge the existence of Mizrahi jews which keeps being ignored. 2A0D:6FC2:4201:1700:C080:A63C:CDF2:FDCA (talk) 15:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I have always seen it spelled Ockham's Razor locally, and Occams Razor online.   
Given it is credited to Ockham, why is the nomenclature in this article Occam?  
Could there be a section added for why this variation exists?   
I looked into it a bit, Stanford for example use Ockham, but Occam is more prevalent.     
I assume it haves to do with Latin/English translation, but I cannot find any concrete sources to add this to the article. Emmertex (talk) 10:47, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that this arises from a combination of several factors. Although Latin has a letter 'K', the letter 'C' is more often used for the same sound and therefore his Latin name has usually been Occam. And Occam derives from the village now known as Ockham, but the spelling of that place would itself have been variable in centuries past, as with many other places. In the Domesday Book of the late 11th century, the village was called 'Bocheham' and only later became 'Ockham'. The aim shouldn't be to decide which is 'right' but what is the most common usage now, and if 'Occam's razor' is that, the article should reflect it. Sbishop (talk) 11:10, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Communist Party USA

message: The CPUSA was certainly not the first racially integrated political party in the US.  Blacks played a prominent role in the Republican Party after the Civil War, often profiting from political patronage from Republican administrations, since few whites supported the Republican Party.  Black politicians were often courted by Republican presidential candidates, since they controlled a number of convention delegates, and participated actively in the Republican conventions.
The Populist Party, a quite successful third party of the late 19th century, also had active black participation, even in the South, where they cooperated with dissatisfied white farmers. 2600:1700:7F80:A1B0:BCC9:565D:88F7:F32F (talk) 16:47, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Self-Published on the Party's Website 

message: I am not deeply familiar with the CPUSA. However, I am not convinced by the current citations that the CPUSA as it stands now is necessarily Marxist-Leninist. References in its constitution to Marx, Engels, and Lenin do not necessarily mean it is Marxist-Leninist, and there are other socialist ideologies like orthodox Marxism and Trotskyism that make similar references but do not identify with Marxism-Leninism.
I won't edit it due to my lack of familiarity with the organization and therefore a lack of knowledge of sources right now, but I will say that, for instance, the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism emerged as a grouping within the CPUSA explicitly rejecting Leninism and its derivations entirely in favor of a non-Leninist form of democratic socialism, and the group still allows dual membership with the CPUSA today. The party constitution itself does not explicitly mention Marxism-Leninism, either. Anecdotally, I have also met some people in person and online part of the CPUSA who identify more closely with other labels such as syndicalism or democratic socialism.
