Talk:Virtual sex

message: We need only to look at the disastrous outcome resulting from the sexual relations between Eddie Murphy and Mel B, an outcome requiring some $15,000/month for child support, to see that virtual sex is the future.  Men: "Remember the alimony!" :-) Already "synthetic telepathy" i.e. man-made artificial telepathy between the computer and the human being via a well understood mapping of the signatures of brain waves has real beginnings, and with developments over the next 20 or 30 years or so, we will be able to download a virtual sex file, just like an .mp3 file, and enjoy a virtual sex   experience with NO consequences and NO equivalent.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.71.55.235 (talk) 02:22, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The future 

message: It would seem to me that an important part of Virtual sex is the advent of webcams.  Even before streaming meida there were webcams that would send a still image every 30 seconds or however often it was set for. This certainly led to a form of social networking that often remained only virtual and indeed also became pornography as soon as viewers started recording these images. These did not even require a "provider" as once a webcam site was talked about a person could go directly to that webcam's broadcast. A service such as ICQ provided for verbal exchange and personal exchange of photographs. livegrab and other software was available that would allow recording more than one such transmission simultaneously.  Some would record and review later.  Others would be online and as they saw action on one site move between several different webcams.  ICQ dialog would at times lead to persons setting up a unique address for a "private" transmission to an individual.  This was, of course "private" only by virtue of the address being only given to that one person. Part of the allure of this networking was that it was relatively inexpensive and available to most anyone, so Cams were set up in the rooms of college students, and other amateurs that at times had not thought through the ultimate consequences which is another topic all together.  This is a subject that I believe needs to be included in several interrelated articles here and has really not been addressed or developed.  I'm looking for suggestions on how or if others believe it should be included here.   Doc ♬ talk 20:43, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Now I don't know if it's just me, but the "Addiction" section seems largely misplaced (as sex addiction is its own page) and mostly a personal opinion/research of the sole author who wrote the section.

I have listed them all here, in case someone knows the exact location of a page or if someone wants to create a page for the film and then readd it. I have reformated the list to look uniform to all of the lists of films by letter. I am currently finished with 1-3, and am still working on the rest right now. I hope to finish the page tonight or tomorrow. --Nehrams2020 03:49, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fahrenheit 9-11

message: This article is kind of a mess. I do not even particularly like editing it because of how chaotic it is. I recommend we remove all articles where the numbers are spelled out with letters (ex: Three Kings) and keep all the articles where they use the actual number (ex: 3 Idiots). Of course, articles where the numbers are spelled out will be added to their respective pages (if they are not already there, which most are). So Three Kings will be on the "T" page. I then recommend we simply list the films on this page in sequential order, so articles starting with 0 will be before articles starting with 1, which will be before articles starting with 28, which will be before articles starting with 100. Otherwise, as we have it now, many articles are listed multiple times in different sections. Does anyone agree with me or have a different suggestion? --Tryout 444 (talk) 19:35, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:National Endowment for Democracy

message: Down in the criticism section, it says "In a 2004 article for the Washington Post, Michael McFaul argues that the NED is not an instrument of U.S. foreign policy; as an example of this, he states that the NED was willing to fund pro-democratic organizations even when the U.S. government was supportive of non-democratic governments in the region.[55]" and the citation is about US intervention in Ukraine, but there are a slew of reliable sources that contest this claim and state that the "revolution" was US-manufactured and designed for western interests.https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2004/12/ukraines-orange-revolution/305157/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/nov/26/ukraine.usahttps://commonweb.unifr.ch/artsdean/pub/gestens/f/as/files/4760/39746_174023.pdf Maybe this sentence is not needed.

As such, I have reverted your removal. If you want, you could make an argument for WP:DUEWEIGHT, but I don't think that will get very far.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Critical Theory/Current Topics

message: Almost all of my exposure to critical theory has been through the "new musicology" so I may be overestimating its important, but I'm guessing that "new" musicology should get some sort of listing, probably under cultural studies, unless it is not a big enough blip on the critical theory radar. Similarly, Susan McClary doesn't fit so neatly under gender studies as only her first book (Feminine Endings) is limited to gender. She is by far the most famous "new" musicologist, the top three probably including Lawrence Kramer and Rose Rosengard Subotnick, probably the only one worth listing, and should be listed even if new musicology isn't. Also, McClary bases a good deal of her work on analyzing narratives (a la Lauretis), yet I find no mention of narrative or narratology on Wikipedia:Critical Theory basic topics or this page. Hyacinth 05:31, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd almost have new musicology be its own category. That said, were it to be its own category, I'd like it to have an article separate from musicology.

Wikipedia talk:Naming policy poll

message: I'm late to this debate; but by my posting in it becomes new again, so I'm right on time.  "United States" is not nonambiguous; other countries use the term for their own, like for Mexico.  The more precise USA refers to America, and if America did not refer exactly to the 50 states we know, then USA would be just as ambiguous as America.  Therefore the country should be referred to as America, US, or USA, as opposed to N or S America.
Proteus's arguments are almost wholly wrong.  A name is not a word, a placename even less so.  The maker or coiner of a name should get full rights to enforce its useage, unless the name is dumb.  No nation, culture, or speaker should call foreign places however they want, again unless the native name is dumb, because this encourages and allows corruption.  And everyone should consider why the place is named such, and improve it if it's wrong or dumb.  It's rude to corrupt, whether by foreigners or by natives.  Most people aren't even familiar with either name version, and will consult a descriptive or authoritative source, the former usually appealing to the latter.  Because of this, it matters little what the most common version is used in a language.  Links to the common name should redirect to the native name when the names are to the same place.  The former might have a short meaning saying that it's the English or old name for the place, and the circumstances of the change.  Sure, it'll take work, but wrong is wrong and the policy doesn't disallow my idea. lysdexia 04:07, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Black cumin

message: I think we should order the other common names (black seeds etc.) by communality. Anyone seen these names off the internet? I saw both "black seeds" and "Nigella" used on boxed spices sold in Egypt, and I saw "black cumin" in at least two cookbooks.  Gady 15:34, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea.  I have seen all of them in various "off the net" places but my references are largely botanical texts (e.g. Hortus Third).  The label on spice boxes is pretty persuasive for common use.  Were the cookbooks certainly talking about Nigella, or about Bunium?  I would be really happy to see the two articles split with disambig. -- WormRunner | Talk 16:17, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: Actually there is a market near here where they have many middle eastern spices.  I will check it out. Still probably not written by native speakers, but "how one usually sees the name" is important. -- WormRunner | Talk 17:11, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other names ordering 

message: In Britain at least Nigella sativa seed, as a spice, is now normally sold under the Hindi name Kalonji; "black cumin" is distinctly old-fashioned, only found as a name in older cookbooks. I'd suggest running down this page (I've started a bit) to a simple disambig page, with links to the two species at their scientific names but little more, as the two plants don't have anything much in common (even as spices, they aren't used in the same way, as far as I know). Nigella sativa now has a page describing the plant botanically, but for the moment linking back here (via the kalonji redirect) for the spice use details. I've not done anything about Bunium persicum yet. - MPF 10:41, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reduced it to a simple disambiguation page, in line with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages).  In particular, I have removed all links that do not go to possible senses of "black cumin", and as best I could removed information not directly related helping the reader choose the sense she needs.  I also removed the category, since both of the target articles are already in the category, and I moved the interwiki link to Nigella sativa where it belonged.  — Pekinensis 20:37, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Grade 12? 

message: The assumption that PCP causes violent behavior was never accepted scientifically as truth, and evidence against this claim being published isn't something new.
In the first paragraph, it is said that "PCP may cause hallucinations, distorted perceptions of sounds, and violent behavior". This is contested by references that are already on this page, for example, the 26th reference, which is a review. "These findings plus the pre-1970 prospective evaluation of thousands of patients with PCP, in which violence was never reported, led us to conclude that clinical and forensic assumptions about PCP and violence are not warranted."
Most, if not all, claims that "PCP induces " or that "PCP induced violent behavior" have one or more of the following features:
* Are published in the USA
* The reviews of ED visits, that attributes PCP to be a cause of this type of behavior, are done in the USA, are most of the time reporting a patient that consumed a considerable amount of other drugs, does not provide any statistical data about how many of those cases actually involved aggressiveness and does not develop a proper statistical analysis of the cases to support the claim
* Was used by a lawyer as a defense to a criminal act
* PCP was claimed to be present and a cause, but not necessarily confirmed
* The individual clearly had tendencies to elicit aggressive behavior, or has already participated in previous violent crimes or acts where PCP was not consumed
* Was used by officers as an excuse to either not being able to capture a criminal (and also relying on the "superhuman" strength myth) or to justify the excessive use of force (the same problem with the controversial "excited delirium") ILoveKyoko (talk) 23:14, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger 

message: This article states: 
"In an encounter with Great Lakes "timber pirates" in the 1850s, a steamer rammed Michigan. The pirate vessel was badly damaged in the maneuver, and was captured.
USS Michigan was the first iron-hulled ship in the US Navy. When she was rammed in the early hours of 6 May 1853, in southern Lake Huron, by the wooden-hulled Buffalo, the Michigan was badly damaged, but the Buffalo proceeded south towards the St. Clair River and was not "captured." Despite this, the Michigan assisted in arresting several of the timbermen who had been stealing timber in Michigan. Additional information is available in "The Development of Governmental Forest Control in the United States," by Jenks Cameron, The Johns Hopkins Press, 1928; and in "Guardian of the Great Lakes," by Bradley A. Rogers, The University of Michigan Press, 1996."
