Talk:Marshall School

message: I'm sorry, but this paragraph seems as if it were written for advertising reasons only. It's like the schools mission statement, which I know is very similarly worded. It's going to have to be redone, or else it might as well be scrapped.
      
The whole article is like an ad for Marshall. This article needs to be fixed up by      
someone who has a more npov. Unfortunately, that 
would mean someone who does not and has never attended Marshall, 
which means they would know less about the school.Pizzadinosaur 12:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ghurid origin  

message: A Turkic runic inscription in Southern Kazakhstan dating to 720 AD, refers to Arab invaders as "Taziks" (Tajiks)
The term Tazik or Tajik was originally applied to Arabs or their descendants in Ajam. The author of Hayat-i-Afghani says : "Of the many theories regarding the etymology of this word Tajik, the most probable is that which makes it a corrupt form of the Pahlvi word, Tazi, an Arab, a word still current in modern Persian with the same meaning. All the dictionaries give Tazi as meaning the descendants of Arabs in Persia or any other foreign country." 
Note that Ghorids were not Tajiks in the meaning of Farsiwan. They are called Tajiks because they claimed to be descendants of Zahhak, an evil Arab king of Persian mythology who had serpents growing out of his shoulders.He did not know the Persian language, so he had a Persian translator in his court.

message: @Wikaviani Hi, per this edit, you said that what I posted in my edit and edit summary was not what the source said. 
My edit: 
Your revert: 
Here was what I added: Many Ghurid princes married into local ethnicities such as Tajiks, Persians, Turks, and Afghans, thus characterizing them as some of these ethnicities.
Here's the source: Many of the Shansabani princes married Turkish slave-girls or possessed them as concubines. A notable admixture of Tajik, Persian, Turkish, and Indigenous Afghan ethnicities therefore characterized the Shansabanis."

Talk:Granular computing

message: huh??!?? Maybe it is because my mother tongue is not english but this explanation does nothing for me.  If the purpose of these words are to impart knowledge this fails dismally.  I see a lot of talk where people talk about having things at a more granular level but the meaning escapes me entirely and an article like this does not make the subject any more accessible to the lay person.  Granular as a word I suspect is related to a grain as in a grain of sand or are there other contexts in which the word can be used which could be the couse of my struggle to visualize the concept? --Renier Maritz 08:24, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Grains of sand is exactly the right metaphor.  A large-grained (coarser) view means that you are looking at larger features of a system and neglecting smaller-scale properties.  A small-grained (finer) view means that you are looking at smaller features of a system, which may imply access to larger scale properties as well.  The term "granular computing" is one of these over-broad terms (like cybernetics) that does not (yet) have any specific set of methods or algorithms associated with it.  I will try to see if I can clarify the page somewhat... Dfass 15:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: i think they incorrectly use the concept of sigma and beta convergence.

Talk:Names of Macau

message: The article says that the transliteration "A-Ma-Gao" (it cites an article that calls it "A-Ma-Gau") means "Bay of A-Ma". What Chinese Characters exactly is this supposed to be? I can't think of a character pronounced like "Gao" that means "Bay".

thread_title:  "Bay of A-Ma"? 

message: This article claims that the spelling "Macao" is used partly because that's the standard transliteration in Standard Chinese, a.k.a. Mandarin. But in Hanyu Pinyin, the usual standard spelling system for Mandarin (as used in the example of Qingdao in this article), the letters "macao" would be pronounced "ma-tsao", not "ma-kao". Also, it's always been my understanding that the Chinese name of the place is 澳门 (Aomen), not "Macao". GeoEvan (talk) 14:02, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Question to the authors 

message: > In 2007, filosofie magister changed to become a 1-year graduate degree. It is officially translated into either Master of Arts, Master of Social Science or Master of Science depending on the subject.[5]
Nope, it is officially translated as "Master of Arts (one year)", to distinguish it from the "filosofie masterexamen" which is officially translated as "Master of Arts (two years)".
Both the new and the old magister required you to get a kandidatexamen before you could get a magisterexamen. Under both systems, the magisterexamen is usually referred to as undergraduate, so I'm not sure whether this article really should state that anything has changed.

Talk:Economy of the Confederate States of America

message: There could be a lot more said about the Erlanger loan; apparently the French company managed to arrange for itself to take most of the profits, while pushing most of the risk off onto others.  It yielded the Confederate government some hard cash with which to buy arms and supplies in Europe, but the actual concrete benefit was proportionately rather low.
Also, there was no real system of taxation -- the central Confederate government largely relied on the individual states, which largely printed ever-increasing amounts of paper money.  In the end, somewhat arbitrary and capricious military confiscations of food and supplies at below-market prices served some of the purposes of taxation. AnonMoos 10:03, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:1964 World Sportscar Championship

message: In the 1964 season the prototype title was won by Ferrari, as it did in the 1965 and 1967 seasons. In 1964, Porsche won only the 2l GT title. I don't know if this error is made on purpose or not but you can check this on The book by Brian Long "Porsche Racing Cars 1953-1975" Veloce pub. as well as in many other sources.
For someone, who knows the history of this championship the excuse provided to cancel the title from Ferrari and adding it to Porsche tally is laughable, I'm citing from the 1964 seasons page "the Ferrari scored 46.8 points but was deemed ineligible for classification as it had not contested the Prototype category at all four races"
Even if this strange rule (...) would have been in effect (and it would have caused much trouble because it was really difficult for the participants during that period to always provide works entries to all the races... see for example if Aston Martin could be declared champ in 1959 or if Ford could be declared champ in 1966... etc etc). In 1964, Ferrari was represented at the Targa Florio by private entry with a Dino prototype and that settles the matter.
Also, the 1964 season of the Porsche 904/8 proto had been a real tough one with the car struggling to finish races and almost always behind 904 GTS that were running in the Gt category..... 151.68.208.8 (talk) 13:46, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Or does the caption mean that this species was completely unknown to science before it was found growing in Kambah Village (therefore, scientifically discovered)?

Talk:Kulayarāja Tantra

message: This article has a somewhat misleading tone to it, as it appears that it is stating that the tantra in question and Dzogchen in general can be though of a pantheistic. This is far from the case and could be quite confusing to readers not familiar with the practice and teachings of Dzogchen.
* Thanks for your comments. Different people will see a text such as this in different ways. The idea of panentheism is certainly not incompatible with the ideas of this scripture. The article does not speak about Dzogchen as a whole -  just focusses on this particular scripture. So I think we have to accept that texts can communicate to different individuals in different ways. That is part of the beauty of Buddhism: it speaks variously to various people. There is no ONE interpretation that is the sole "right" way of viewing a particular text. How can anyone be sure that their view or their tradition's view is totally and singly "right" -unless they are a Buddha themselves?! But I appreciate that you yourself come at the text from a different angle (you don't see it as pantheistic or panentheistic at all), and of course you are entitled to that perspective.
