message: The ducking stool is according to this article used for the first time in 1597, but it is claimed, that it was used to identify witches in "medieval times". Medieval times ended by the 15th century.
How could it be used to witch testing a hundred years before it was invented?
And where is the source of it being used for witch testing? There is only sources of "swimming" being used. But that should not be in this article???  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fightdane (talk • contribs) 18:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

I would like to clean this up and think there are 2 possible ways to proceed
1) Create a new page devoted to the Mizrachi organization
2) As @Rich Janis suggested 16 years ago, deleting most of the duplication here vis a vis the Religious Zionist Movement page. 
Anyone with a preference as to what's the best way to proceed?? I myself, am unsure as to what's the best way to do so. MaskedSinger (talk) 15:35, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

message: The character of Joey does not die in the movie. Did the author of this article even see the movie? The scene cuts away as Skip (Widmark) beats the crap out of Joey (Kiley), while the two men are in a recess by the subway tracks, but does not conclude with Joey's death. More likely, Joey and his associate (whom Widmark beat up and left on the subway men's room floor) are arrested by the NYPD and/or the Feds. The movie then goes to the final scene where Widmark, receiving his discharge papers from the NYPD plainclothesman, needles the man for not putting him (Widmark) away for life. He then walks out of the station with Peters on his arm.Maccb (talk) 02:35, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: "...she knocks him out with a bottle and takes it to Zara and Tiger."
I think the article should ensure that it is clear to the reader that the microfilm, not the bottle, is given to the police.
"...follows him to a subway station." 
"He watches as the film is exchanged in a restroom..."
In the restroom Joey is unable to shoot Skip dead because?
Because on the train Skip removes the gun from Joey's coat pocket, perhaps this should be in the plot synopsis.

Talk:Floating Point Systems

message: I can verify the early part because I worked there from 1977 through 1982. There was another machine called the 190L based on the 120B, but attached to IBM mainframes like the 360 and 370. There was also another machine that more or less replaced the 120B, (if I'm not mistaking that with another company I worked for!) that was a less costly version, can't remember the name. The company did well under Winningstad but he handed over control to a fellow from Burroughs, and things kinda sputtered after that. I left for a company called Aptec Computer Systems which was a spinoff of FPS.

Talk:Sephirah (Kabbalah)

message: Awesome, new picture. (they had a horrible one up before)
The emanation of the tree of life is not directly related as well. That comes from the zohar and should be pointed out at least
The Enumerations is not in every kabbalahistic documents. I do not believe it was mentioned in the bahir or raziel. and I know its not in the yetzirah. I have not yet read the zohar so it could be mentioned there (and probably is, I have seen it in lurianic literature). so... That should be mentioned. Alot of my original complaints where actualy fixed, so awesome. Although it would be nice to see some additions to the "da'ath" thing. The yetzirah clearly says "ten sepiroths, not nine, not eleven". And I have never seen da'ath in the bahir or raziel either. I believe that it was caused by the mistranlation of the "ten sepiroths of nothing" by kircher to be "ten sepiroths and nothing" But I have only read that in passing. Although, I have never seen da'ath mentioned in any pre-kircher documents.

message: This article does little more than give a superficial explanation of a symbolic picture. Among classic kabbalistic works, there are many different understandings of the connection between the s'firot, and only two of them are even alluded to in the article (for some others, the image in the article would be inappropriate). I think this article needs one of those "This article needs to be cleaned up" templates. HKT 23:10, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inadequate 

message: The Hebrew root SFR is unrelated to the Indo-european root of the Greek word "sphaira", namely *sqer-, whose basic meanings are "to jump" "to be rotunde", "to move in circles". English "cipher", on the other hand is unrelated to "sphaira", being the arabic word "śifr" (with emphatic |ś|, "śad") meaning "zero". Since I am not proficient in Hebrew as I am in arabic, I can't say if Hebrew "sefirah" and arabic "śifr" are etymologicaly unrelated (since they appear to be semanticaly related in a certain way), but I have observed that Hebrew "tsade" corresponds to arabic emphatic sibilant "śad"; thus I would expect "*tsefirah" corresponding to "śifr" on purely phonological grounds. I would be grateful to any scholar of semitic languages clearing this matter up for me.--194.63.235.165 11:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Or are we in fact spreading diseases to animals that  they would not ever acquire on their own, but we either take no notice of this, or don't consider it worthy of inclusion as a "zoonosis" because, as much as we love our pets, we're still a lot more concerned with protecting our own species? —Soap— 14:16, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
