thread_title:  Political power? 

message: Hi. I have noted an inaccuracy in this list, which may mean some of the other periods in office are incorrect.  The list clearly shows Bishop William Longchamp as being in office until 1198, which is kind of difficult since he died the year before.  The other dates follow on from this one, and may also be wrong.  I have spoken this evening to the Chief Archivist for the Diocese of Ely, Dr. Peter Meadows, who is based at the University Library in West Road, Cambridge.  He is going to prepare a list of the Bishops of Ely from 1100 onwards, and forward it to me by either email or regular post, so that these dates may be verified.

Talk:Victim of the Brain

message: I really wanted to know what the deal with this movie was so I emailed Douglas Hofstatder. He said:
I have no idea where people get their ideas or why they post them on the Web when they are extremely confused.
Here are the facts.  In 1983, Piet Hoenderdos came from Amsterdam to Boston to film a series of in-depth interviews with me (I was on sabbatical at MIT at the time, and at the beginning and end of the film, one can see some footage of me playing the piano on the 7th floor of the AI Lab).  The next year Piet filmed Dan Dennett and some other people in an enactment of Dan's philosophical fantasy "Where Am I?" (published in our jointly edited book "The Mind's I"),and he also filmed an enactment of a short story called "The Soul of the Mark III Beast" by Terrel Miedaner (also in "The Mind's I"), and also the short story "The Seventh Sally" by Stanislaw Lem (also in "The Mind's I").  All these pieces were then interleaved with chunks of the interview with me, and the whole thing was unified with a kind of story-telling glue into a movie entitled "Victim of the Brain", which was shown on Dutch television a few times in the mid- or late eighties.

message: Yes, this is a really good animation. I have added it to an article Milne Model I've been working on.
I have a suggestion for an improvement if you have time.   Currently you have created a series of random events which are not associated with any physical bodies, or necessarily causally connected in any way.  This is great, and it really gets across the idea of the Lorentz Transformation applied to an accelerating observer.  
So this is a minor improvement, and may not add a whole lot to it,  but if you add line segments between causally connected events, this represents the permanent positions of actual objects.  These lines would move along the horizontal axis at speeds greater than that of light as your observer accelerated.
If you're interested in trying this, let me know and if needed I can give more specific advice on how to modify the code.  I'd do it myself, but I don't have the software.
Thanks,

replies: text: The upper cone indicates influencable spacetime; the lower cone indicates observed spacetime.  The important thing is that no events move into the upper light cone (no part of spacetime becomes influencable which previously was not), and no events move out of the lower light cone (no part of spacetime becomes unobserved which was previously observed). mennsa 17:44, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pierre Lemieux

message: The article needs to be updated to reflect the results of the 2015 federal election in Canada.John Paul Parks (talk) 16:57, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: 2015 Election

message: "Lemieux is viewed as a prominent social conservative; he is one of the most vocal opponents of abortion and same-sex marriage among the newly elected Conservatives."
I edited this line because while Lemieux could be described as a social conservative he is neither prominent nor vocal when it comes to social conservatism.
He didn't campaign on abortion and only mentioned his opposition to it when reporters brought it up. 
Furthermore, revisiting same-sex marriage was a very minor aspect of his campaign which wouldn't have received as much attention had it not been a national policy of the party.  
The two themes he campaigned on were support for farmers and accountability in government. 
For these reasons I would not consider him a "vocal social conservative; if you view his website you'll see little or no evidence of social conservatism.
Secondly, he is not yet "prominent".  He was a relative unknown before his nomination and although he is an MP, he is only one of 308 and as a first term MP is likely to remain a little-known backbencher for quite a while.
- Anon., Feb. 2, 2006
:The reason he has little information on social conservatism on his website is because the party urged them to avoid such to make their more conservative candidates appear "moderate". His record, according to both conservative and liberal groups, is staunchly anti-abortion and anti-same sex marriage. EGALE Canada gave him an "F" grade with a (since deleted) note suggesting that he has a radical right wing social agenda. Campaign Life Coalition rates him as "pro-life and pro-marriage without exceptions".  CrazyC83 02:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Standardization of state templates 

message: Looking through the current listing of small cities, I'm not sure that the current standard (>10,000) really gives an accurate picture of the cities in the state.  We end up with several unincorporated places that are effectively suburbs (Teays Valley, Cross Lanes) while regionally important cities like Elkins are left off.
I'd like to propose that we only show incorporated places.  I'd also like to either lower the population threshhold or redefine it in some manner such as to eliminate places like South Charleston that are really just suburbs.  (Maybe the place cannot be listed if it is in the same county as another listed place?)
This is somewhat of a subjective listing, but to my mind these are the major "small cities" in West Virginia we should be showing:
* Fairmont
* Clarksburg
* Weirton
* Bluefield
* Beckley
* Elkins
* Martinsburg
Maybe also:
* Princeton
* Logan
* Lewisburg
* Summersville
In a nutshell, I'd like to see the listing redesigned to list the places that are basically the hubs of economic activity for their respective regions in the state.  Thoughts?

The first University level institution in Málaga was the Colegio Universitario, a branch of the Universidad de Granada, that operated from 1970 until 1972, when the Universidad de Málaga was created. In 1921 Ochoa obtained a Bachiller degree (baccalaureate=senior high school diploma) from the Instituto Provincial de SUIIIIIIIII Málaga, founded in 1846 and in Ochoa's time, the only high school in Málaga.

message: Hi all,
I am wondering if it would be okay for us to move this page, Otterbein College, to the Otterbein University entry instead.  As many of you know, we recently had a name change and are no longer Otterbein College, but Otterbein University instead.
Currently, if one tries to go to the Otterbein University page a redirect bounces the reader back here.  It probably should be the other way around-- i.e. Otterbein University should be the actual page that houses the content, while Otterbein College should only exist as a legacy page that serves to provide a redirect to the new Otterbein University page.  Does this make sense?
If so, does anyone know how we (I?) can do this?  I muck around a bit here on Wikipedia, but usually just do simple edits and such and not this type of administrative task.
