Talk:Silver(I) fluoride

message: Can someone explain what the (I) stands for in the name?  It is annoying to read an encyclopedia article and couldn't figure out what it says.  Should encyclopedia article be self explantory even to laymen, instead of requiring an PhD in Chemistry to understand?  If it is too much to explain, perhaps a See Also section that links to Silver(II) Fluoride and Silver(III) Fluoride would at least how readers to figure out what that (I) is for.  -- Kowloonese 22:33, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I reinsterted the information about standard laboratory preparation - I read the WP:NOTMANUAL policy but I wasn't really going into excessive detail as to how do it and you'd need a lot of research experience to be able to construct a good experimental method from the sketch in the article. I feel it's important that we have the info about prep (e.g. you start from AgNO3/you use a centrifuge), but if this is not done on Wiki, just tell me ! --TatanyaGolding (talk) 09:44, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Well the article is quite nice.  The following aspects of the prep are completely incidental: silver nitrate is a precursor (one needs Ag2O, no matter how it is obtained), the use of Pt cup (one can use all sort of gear, such as Teflon), acetone as the precipitating solvent (probably many other anti-solvents  miscible with water could be used), the fact that one filters.  etc.  The concept to be conveyed (in my opinion) is that AgF is obtained from Ag2O and HF.  Here is another way to appreciate the predicament: imagine the impact if for every prep in Wikipedia we give comparable details.  The solvent, the container, the fact that one filters or distills.  Think about the procedures that invoke all sorts of specialized driers, grinders, air blowers, etc etc.  The concept of WP:NOTMANUAL is to keep us focused on concepts and away from details.  But those are my opinions.  My main message is to compliment you on writing a pretty good article, so keep it up (and maintain the focus on good sources WP:SECONDARY).  --Smokefoot (talk) 14:13, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Theophilia

message: I added the cross reference to eutheism since that is considered a synonymous word to theophilia. I'm not sure that summum bonum and eutheism are necessarily the same thing. Eutheism simply specifies that God is good; summum bonum depicts God as the ultimate good, the center of all good, etc. These are related, but I don't think they're equivalent.
There is also the issue of what theophilia really means in context. There is a contrast in focus between the words "theophilia" and "eutheism". Eutheism defines God to be good; theophilia does not address God's nature, but rather his worshippers' attitudes towards him. It seems to me there are people who, when confronted with the contradictions found in theodicy, throw up their hands and say so what, who cares, but still "love God" whether or not he is "morally good". These would qualify as theophiles, I would think. This can be an attitude of resignation, or even an acceptance of might makes right mentality—no matter what we say, God is the 400 pound gorilla, and you'd better listen to him. Such people, I would imagine, fit into the theophile category even though they might even agree that God is not necessarily good. But this is far too much conditional theology for a small article. So I'm not sure what to do. :-)

Talk:Summum bonum

message: I asked this in another section, but: are summum bonum and eutheism really the same thing? Eutheism is simply the belief that God exists and is good. Summum bonum says so much more about God than that, and is far more encompassing. Eutheism seems to redirect here, perhaps that is a mistake. I wouldn't take eutheism for granted, my opinion is that it is something separate from this, less rigid, but definitely a belief set on its own.

message: I added this template because of the February 2006 edits adding Zoroastrianism and general Persian promotion. I don't know enough about the subject to tell whether Ahura-Mazda is portrayed that way, and I know there's debate about how much his teachings influenced Christianity. Maestlin 00:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Factual accuracy 

message: This article implies that summum bonum is primarily a Christian concept that results from an imagined "progress" toward monotheism. This is hardly surprising given that the Catholic Encyclopedia is the main source -- a marvelous reference, don't get me wrong, but dated and obviously biased. But summum bonum is also a term used in ancient philosophy, and the current article makes it problematic to link from (in my current case) an article on an Epicurean philosopher who wrote a treatise De summo bono.

thread_title:  Concept in antiquity 

message: Should the words "Ultimate importance" in the third line be linking to the article on Intrinsic Value, the second part of the categorical imperative? At the moment it implies the the Summum Bonum describes humans not being an end in themselves, as far as I know misleadingly.

Talk:Terminus (Doctor Who)

message: #Here, Event One refers to the Big Bang. However, in the Fifth Doctor serial Castrovalva, Event One is taken to refer to the creation of the Galaxy, not the universe.
I though Castrovalva was clear that Event One - the hydrogen outrush (seen as an inrush by travelling backwards in time) was clearly meant to be the creation of the universe. Timrollpickering 23:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: No - the dialogue very explicitly refers to the creation of the Galaxy. I was as surprised as anyone when I watched it again and heard it stated as such. -khaosworks 04:22, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Althooooough . . . I think that was probably just some slightly sloppy writing--that's not the first time I've seen "galaxy" misused as a synonym for "universe." Iralith (talk) 19:45, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wouldn't be the first time. The show does tend to use these terms interchangeably, and in the early years, they also used "solar system" synonymously with both galaxy AND universe, furthering the confusion. I'm definitely thinking both refer to the Big Bang; the "Event One" in Castrovalva was described as "the biggest explosion in history" - which would imply Big Bang - as opposed to the development of a galaxy or a solar system which are relatively peaceful events.

thread_title:  Wishful etymology: "lazar" 

message: I just watched Terminus, and then I read the plot summary, in order to clarify if I had missed any details.  It answered some things I wasn't sure about, and included the details one often wishes to know if one is a Dr. Who follower. In fact, there were probably some points omitted.  The comments above are evidence of how we Whovians like to know about the details of the sci-fi stories.  I believe the plot summary is as short as it can get without omitting important pieces of information.  And I can't see that having the plot summary a bit long is harming anyone.  Yet, it seems that someone is tagging all the plot sections, but not editing them, just tagging them. So, what's the consensus here? Long or shorter?  Both?? Say the word, and I'll remove the tag, or if there's a consensus, go ahead! Peacedance (talk) 04:53, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Stroud

message: In the penultimate section "Truth versus Fiction" is the quote "...Stroud was also known to write pornographic fiction, much of it perversely involving children. These surviving documents point to the fact that Stroud was at least a latent pedophile...." I'm not comfortable characterizing someone based on their fictional writings. I doubt that horror writers, for example, are especially violent or morbid. Moreover, in the previous sentence is "...much of it perversely involving children." The term "perversely" seems too opinionated, or maybe I'm thinking too journalistically.
To whomever maintains this article, I'd recommend excising the entire sentence containing the first quote and the word "perversely" from the second.

thread_title:  Characterizations Based on Fictional Writings 

message: I have tagged this article as having multiple issues with lead section. Guideline WP:LEAD, at WP:LEADLENGTH indicate a good article should have a lead section of no more than 4 paragraphs or about 300 words. This article's lead section has extra information that is not included in the body of the article. resulting in the lead extending to 6 paragraphs. So I added the clean-up tag . Based on MOS:LEAD, the lead section should introduce and summarize an article, without being too verbose or detailed. The fifth paragraph, which is about subject's role the Battle of Alcatraz could be summarized in a sentence. Stroud's role, whether the real account, or an over-dramatized fictionalized movie version is not covered elsewhere in either this article or the one about the battle. This makes this biographical coverage appear inaccurate, which is worse than totally omitting it, because its presence teases the reader and raises their expectations about the full article only to be disappointed by the absence of further coverage. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 00:28, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Roberto Moso wrote on his book, Flores en la basura, he named them Eskorbuto but I don't agree with the explaining about that Eskorbuto is a modified word of escorbuto since by that time Roberto Moso was learning basque or euskera and in thar language escorbuto translates to eskorbuto(a) with the final -a being the article, so the word in basque is the same to the group name, so maybe he refered to them with the word in basque.

replies: text: They don't form a crystal structure easily because other phases (such as cyanogen) are preferred at the high temperatures needed to react carbon and nitrogen. Catalysis is difficult as well; other approaches, such as decomposing tricyanamide, N(CN)3 tend to break up the crystal structure as it forms, resulting in amorphous C3N4 (which is not at all rare, by the way).
