Talk:Ancient Greek literature

message: I think this article shows a great deal of the classical writers. But in my opinion it refers far too often to the present, with sentences like 'They also invented drama and produced masterpieces that are still reckoned as drama's crowning achievement'  and 'Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. It is impossible to calculate the enormous influence these thinkers have had on Western society' 
It is not a case of validating research to the Classics and why it should be read at all, it is a case of explaining the literature that was written. I really would like to see a more fact-based article, with references and footnotes, based on compendia like 'Ancient literature: a concise history' and the Cambridge history series.
Edit: forgot to sign my point. Again.

Talk:Shindig (Firefly)

message: I think this page should mention the use of the word "shindig" in Firefly fandom. Shindig is used to refer to a Firefly marathon watching party. All the Firefly episodes are shown. Sometimes there are fun events to go along with the viewing. Fruity Oaty bars or mudders milk may be served. Strawberry eating contest. (Eat a strawberry like Kaylee.)

replies: text:  Wow! We Browncoats sure know how to find those grey areas between fandom and professional publication. I'm sorry to save I don't have a copy of this (yet), but as I understand it , Done the Impossible is a very professionally produced documentary (good) by fans (bad), supported by professional writers like Orson Scott Card and Margaret Weis (good) and the show's cast and crew (good), but produced by a DVD-parallel to a vanity press (bad). It doesn't show up either on Amazon.com or in the Library of Congress, which is a major hit against it for most serious sourcers (which we should all be). But it's implicitly supported by everyone involved in the show, which makes it significant. I'm really at a loss. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Scalar (physics)

message: …is that it nearly (but not quite) defines scalar in terms of vector. If you don't know what a vector is, the lede of this article is going to be confusing. It's great that it gives examples of scalars (mass, distance, &c.), but poor that it doesn't also give examples of vectors, to help understand by comparison. Also, "speed" is a terrible example of a scalar, because it produces rampant confusion with velocity. Similarly, saying the magnitude of velocity is a scalar is probably important to the definition, but also confusing. It seems to me that speed should be removed from the list of examples (or barring that, speed and velocity should be defined and their definitions compared), and either addressed in its own section of the article, or simply omitted. I'm not sure how to handle the magnitude question, because of its likelihood of confusion.  Perhaps to numerically express a vector numerically and compare it to its magnitude, textually?

message: I'm removing a catholic apologist biased section regarding an official church and inquisitorial condemnation of Malleus. Not only such argument is just based in their websites but the sources and references posted didn't support what's exposed; after almost 3 years I got Hans Peter Broede's "The Malleus Maleficarum and the construction of witchcraft" and there isn't a single combination of the book in the references posted; what you have, instead, was a reference of the bishop complaining on the troubles Kramer did at Innsbruck, especially referring to the existence of many love-sorceries due to adultery in the city. I will correct this article, Splenger's one and finally the article of Malleus. I shall post what those books actually say in their given references.

message: The most significant problem with illicitly disclosed formula (for mantra or whatsoever), beside the fact it is illegal, is that the disclosed info has very little scientific value. There is no way to be sure that the information is valid because, whether or not the information is correct, the official organization will not comment on it. Moreover, in view of the nature of the source that illicitly disclose these formula, they are likely to be incorrect. In particular, it is not reliable to discuss the meaning of the mantra, which are not officially disclosed, because there is no way to provide reliable references. Much of the debate in the section on controversies turn around the fact that the mantra are not disclosed. There could be a debate about whether or not the TM organization should disclose the mantra, the formula, etc., but not in this article. It is like debating whether or not Microsoft should move to open source.  This article is not the place for this kind of debate.

Talk:The Internationale/Archives/2005

message: I saw no reason why one line (the second last line before the chorus of the third verse) was capitalized (especially since the French and English versions did not have this.)

Secondly, I am highly suspicious of the "Latinization" of the Russian lyrics; several of those characters usually don't appear in Russian Latinizations, but are letters used in Czech, Serbian, etc.  Can someone confirm that that is indeed the *Russian* version in the "Latinized" column? --Canuckguy 07:36, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
