Talk:Table of magical correspondences

message: I object to the emphasis on "supernatural" in the opening paragraph.  The first articulated theories of correspondence originate in classical idealism (with its distinct approach to reason) and modern ones often depend on ideas like resonance.  Correspondence posits a natural world full of interlinking influences--metonymy and synechdoche, resonance, synchronicity, etc. are all related ideas.  Many people who use this term think of it in naturalistic ways--albeit alternative naturalism--and would distinguish it from supernaturalism.  This is especially true in earth-based nature religions that employ ideas of magical correspondence.  Some are more or less mentalist, more or less phenomenalist in their approach to correspondence--depending on whether reality is situated in consciousness or matter.
Correspondence is also often understood to be acausal--as in the understanding that tarot cards or astrology "correspond" to events on earth rather than CAUSE events, and this idea refers to something more akin to the fabric of nature, which would understandably cause some holders of this view to object to the term: supernaturalist overlay.Thaddeus Slamp (talk) 05:40, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The title of the article is a blaring alarm bell. "Table of correspondences" is simply a plain English phrase, and could apply to any field of science or the arts in which one thing corresponds to another. See for example , , , , , , ... need I go on? The phrase doesn't relate specifically to magic, and within the field of magic it's not a phrase that has special meaning; it's still just a "table" of "correspondences".
I don't see much point in the article even if the name were changed to, say, Table of magical correspondences, because all it really says, when it comes down to it, is that "in magic some things are seen as being related to other things". The fact that people have written about these relationships or even placed them in a tabular form hardly warrants an article. Why not create separate articles for Magical diagrams, Magical poetry, Magical instructions, Magical index, Magical narrative and all the other articles we could dream up relating to magical writing and publishing?
Most of this information properly belongs in a discussion of sympathetic magic, with a few details being relevant to numerology and Gnosticism. I therefore suggest this article be merged into Magic (paranormal), Numerology and Gnosticism (if those articles don't already cover it all), and then deleted. Fuzzypeg★ 00:05, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The article as it stood on 7 June 2021 did not use any inline citation, and the three sources listed at the bottom were all primary sources, rendering it a piece of original research. I therefore replaced it with a stub giving some basic but well-sourced info.

Talk:Administrative divisions of Primorsky Krai

message: Please note that this article's editions in Russian and English Wikipedias are incompatible.  The Russian version describes the municipal division of Primorsky Krai, while the English one deals with the administrative division.  While the overlap is significant (which is why the articles are linked via interwikies), the concepts are quite different.  The main problem is that the map from ru_wiki cannot be used to illustrate the list administrative divisions in en_wiki, and hence the reorganization of the article (which I reverted) leads to a version which is factually incorrect and out-of-sync with the rest of the articles in the "administrative divisions" series.  To avoid wasted efforts, please propose large-scale changes on the talk page first.  Thank you.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I am truly sorry that you wasted time on this.  While Wikipedia encourages being bold in one's edits, it is generally preferred to discuss major changes before implementing them.

thread_title:  calendar 

message: According to the article
...the King and his mother set out from Fontainebleau on a tour... they visited Nostradamus, Carcassonne, Toulouse...
"Nostradamus" links to Michele de Nostredame. Firstly, it is strange to mention the astrologer and the names of cities in one sentence in this manner. Secondly, there should be some details on their encounter with Nostradamus. What was its purpose? What did Nostradamus tell them?

thread_title:  Nostradamus?! 

message: Charles called Coligny his father, and by backing Coligny would assert his kingship and freedom from the rule of his mother Catherine de' Medici. The current account does not relate how Catherine bullied Charles that evening to consent to the killing of Coligny to complete her previously botched assassination attempt.  A reference to Charles' complicity might better explain why he was subsequently upset, rather than merely a lunatic, as Catherine proposed. Leonie Frieda's cited biography gives ample reference to the actual course of events.1f2 (talk) 04:35, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Gauss–Codazzi equations

message: Don't want to step on any tows.  Luckily the article was new, and not much developed:
In differential geometry, the Mainardi-Codazzi equations relate the first fundamental form and the second fundamental form of a surface.  Given a set of coefficents of the first and second fundamental forms, the Mainardi-Codazzi equations provide a simple method for determining whether a surface exists with that particular set of coefficients.  The first fundamental form makes its appearance in terms of the Christoffel symbols:
:e_v-f_u=e\Gamma_{12}^1 + f(\Gamma_{12}^2-\Gamma_{11}^1) - g\Gamma_{11}^2
:f_v-g_u=e\Gamma_{22}^1 + f(\Gamma_{22}^2-\Gamma_{12}^1) - g\Gamma_{12}^2

thread_title: Untitled

message: The commentators on the Proms performance of the Ecco sì beato giorno mass suggest Moroney's opinion of his performance arrangement of the 42 part-book scores (40 vocal, 2 organs, found in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France) was conservative: we may perhaps expect a more florid expression in due course.
The Proms performance alternated a fairly richly ornamented polyphony with plainchant parodies and introits: the weakness if any tended to be the abruptness of the end of each setting, suggesting the scores may be the basis for greater elaboration, particularly in the 60-part Agnus Dei, which may benefit from greater separation of the lines. 60 parts could indeed be excessive, as they tended to reduce each part to a line in a 4-part chord structure which could be fruitfully broken out. The performance particularly benefitted from the use of a contra-bass sackbutt, giving body to the continuo role of the bass vocalists: without it (and there's only one in the world at the moment) the bottom may prove particularly weak in performance, showing that this density of singers requires a missing basso profundissimo foundation as well as stable sopranini.Jel 23:26, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
