message: It's nice to think that Lewis might have been a reader response critic avant la lettre, but alas, it's not true, and it's especially not true of his Experiment in Criticism. Lewis does say there that a critic should not to try to tackle works which he or she absolutely hates, but that doesn't amount to a thorough-going endorsement of RR criticism. If nobody objects within a month or so, I will delete the reference to Lewis' book (which is an excellent book, but not one based on a RR methodology.

message: There are large concerns with the content of this article as there is little citations proving its claims. It appears from a quick Google search that most of the information has been retrieved from this site http://www.criticalpracticechelsea.org/wiki/index.php?title=Reader_Response_Criticism . The types of reader-response criticism have not been clearly defined as different theorists have some elements in common whilst others contrasting, and this is not clearly stated. There are some portions of this article that are correct yet the structure of this article is confused and not explicit enough detailing the history of reader-response criticism and its concerning theorists. I would suggest a contents change including:
1. The evolution of reader-response criticism
2. Approaches to reader-response criticism (using Tyson's five classifications of reader-response approached: transactional reader-response theory; affective stylistics; subjective reader-response theory; psychological reader-response theory; social reader-response theory)
3. Interpretive communities
4. Oppositions to reader-response criticism
5. Extensions 
These changes would be supported by credible sources. It would also allow readers to comprehend the foundations of reader-response criticism and provide a better structured article to be built upon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by NicoleJR (talk • contribs) 03:57, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Bird is a group in therapod!

message: I added :Category:Living dinosaurs and was good faith reverted by  who pointed out a discussion in which 'Dinosaurs' was removed as a category and thus category Birds is buried nine (9) categories down from 'Dinosaur' (buried deeper than the deepest non-avian dinosaur fossils) even though they constitute well over 10,000 living species. But if anything is normal in this topsy-turvy world of dinosaurs literally surrounding us in air and tree it is that category 'Birds' should be listed in :Category:Living dinosaurs, as they are the only living dinosaurs. So rather then digging nine categories deep to find them, here is an almost unarguable category that they should belong in. They are dinosaurs, and they are living. If they don't belong here then the name of that category should be changed. Those seem to be the only options here. Maybe 'Dinosaurs in pseudoscience', or 'Living dinosaurs excluding birds', or another choice to politely hide the birds from that category too (another way to say "Nine categories down", need a Oceans 11 hole-digger to find them). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:33, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Sun Microsystems

message: If we talk of files, which "internal structure [access] ... is often limited to programs specifically written", rather than filesystems written to support standard files API, then there should be much more examples.
* Microsoft COM compound file, which examples are MS Office files, MS Management Console files, etc.
* To some extent - MIME-HTML files and DBX files (e-mail storage by Outlook Express), where files can be accessed independently, but usually are not.
* OASIS OpenDocument (technically it is ZIP with bunch of files, and Office suite works with those files)
* Quake WAD files (at least in Alice McGee it is also a ZIP file) and other games' packages,
* Sun Java .JAR files, that are some variation of ZIP too.
All of those formats feature having a set of data chunks with specified name, size and type. Essentially that is exactly what files are - named chunk of data.
And if we remove requirement to make it accessible to any program via standard file I/O API and only request that programs, using them, do read and write data chunk by name, then all those examples above are valid and much better than the exotic WinUAE and VmWare.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.44.136.228 (talk) 08:16, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Gonzales

message: In the recounting of the event, particularly in the context and prelude, the parties involved are repeatedly referred to as “Mexicans” and “Texans,” or at least, the governmental/military parties are referred to as “the Mexicans” as a way to differentiate them from the settlers/civilians. 
Unless I’m mistaken, all people living in this area at this time would be Mexicans, as this was still part of Mexico. So at the time, these Texans were also Mexicans. 
It leads to a very US-centric reading and colors the reader’s understanding of the events pretty  severely. I’m no history buff though, so maybe I missed something? 2601:152:4000:7CF0:81C4:889C:201D:4F77 (talk) 09:25, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Socialist emulation

message: The song "To the memory of a stakhanovite" by Vladimir Vysotsky in the Talk:Stakhanovite  shows the attitude to "socialist work". Mikkalai 07:27, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: The paragraph about practice of the socialist competition is based on their personal experiences in USSR. Especially Kravchenko, as he was a director of large Soviet industry so he had comprehensive, first-hand knowledge about both the ideology and economy of that era. He describes in details how the Party decisions on planning were driven by ideological goals, rejecting any arguments about feasibility of the plans, and resulted in plans that were completely detached from reality. At the same time execution of the plans was enforced by KGB and non-compliance was treated as"sabotage". This led precisely to the effects described in the paragraph: double accounting, hoarding of resources and false reporting as the only means of avoiding criminal prosecution. This account is not unique to Heller and Kravchenko, other Soviet authors reported the same, for example Nikolai Shmelov (major Soviet economist), Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Nikolai Nikulin.  Kravietz (talk) 10:46, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This practice of unrealistic planning cannot be attributed exclusively to socialist emulation. This would be a very simplistic view. You are right about ideological goals. You right about party and kgb pressure. And socemulation played in this its own role. However the overall problems of soviet planning are much broader and must be described in an appropriate article. If you have this book available, please expand the page Soviet-type economic planning.  -M.Altenmann >t 14:56, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

text: In particular, you are overlooking that Soviet economy was centrally planned. therefore the impact of "counterplans" was indirect. Further, "hoarding" has nothing to do with socialist emulation per se. It was a result of unbalanced planning, which had numerous reasons. And so on. In short, ideologically motivated planned economy does not work. And this is a subject of the corresponding page. Notice the qualifier, "ideologically motivated". In capitalist world a huge entreprize is a small country. And it is crazy to think that its economy is not planned. But its plans are not based on ideology. -M.Altenmann >t 15:20, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I agree that it's a quite broad problem, but I don't think the paragraph states that it was an exclusively an outcome of socialist emulation - it merely mentions one aspect of how it looked on the ground from the perspective of Soviet people. The plan was set by the Party, and emulation was promoted to ensure better completion of the plans, so these things were interconnected: individual directors were forced to hoard resources to compete with other directors in plan completion.  In any case, if you feel this can be better worded please feel free - it's just something I found in these books and definitely not going to die for it :) Kravietz (talk) 15:28, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
