Talk:Salute

message: Judged sports frequently require competitors to salute the judging panel prior to beginning or after completing their performances. In artistic gymnastics, for example, the gymnast faces the judges and holds up one arm, palm forward, after receiving the green light or flag. In figure skating, the competitor bows to the judges after completing their routine. 207.180.169.36 (talk) 22:45, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

message: The entire article is kind of a mess and too long, but the Civilian salutes section in particular is a mess. Several entries seem random and out of place, such as 'greetings' and 'obeisances'. Additionally, several other entries are poorly written and make claims with no citations.

replies: text: I don't think there's anything wrong with the current image, personally. A human singing is probably more universally understood than some sheet music—especially because understanding sheet music requires specialized knowledge that most readers lack. Just my $0.02. Woodroar (talk) 21:06, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Many songs have not been transcribed into staff notation. Sheet music is notoriously incapable of specifying all the nuanced aspects of live performance; the best that can be expected is a sketch of the sound created by the singer interpreting the notes.

Talk:Speciesism

message: The article talks about philosophical positions and species that are more appreciated by humans. It does not mention rats, mice, roaches, fleas, lice, ticks, weevils, corn borers, tapeworms, etc. These species are not addressed and defended in this article. Fun to speculate why these species are not defended.Pete unseth (talk) 01:37, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The very purpose of defining speciesism is to explain the human exploitation of non-human animals. Thus, self-defense or other defensive acts (such as killing a fatally attacking lion or snake or even a human) doesn't involve speciesism. Killing vermin are primarily considered acts of defense, although animal rights activists oppose these as well. Nevertheless, speciesism applies when any of these animals (rats, mice, etc.) are exploited by humans for their body parts, scientific research, and so forth, the reason why research involving these animals are opposed. And the article very much talks about animal research. Rasnaboy (talk) 06:18, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The article does not mention vermin 

message: The article still needs to wrestle with definition(s) of speciesism. It mentions the idea of some animal species being treated differently than others. However, the article is basically concerned with humans vs. other species. But there are huge differences in the way humans value various species, which is clearly "speciesism". Mammals are generally thought of as worthy of more value than insects. And a very small set of often-domesticated species are widely thought of as worthy of more value than other mammals. These are also examples of speciesism. The definition(s) and example should reflect this more, not merely human vs. non human. Treating some animals as more worthy than others absolutely undermines the whole concept of speciesism.  Pete unseth (talk) 15:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: This article has a few problems. It tends to assert that "scholars" say X, and per WP:RS  Though it's not policy, it is a guideline. I couldn't check every source in this article to see if that's the case, but I have a feeling it's not based on what I have read. It also makes claims without properly attributing them, such as using PETA as a source. While there's nothing wrong with that, it's undeniable that PETA is a heavily opinionated and biased source, and when used, it should be mentioned that the preceding statement may have been made by PETA.

Talk:Secular humanism

message: Those who call themselves humanists are estimated to number between four and five million people worldwide.
I don't know what this intends to mean. People who call themselves "secular humanists" first and foremost? People with an actual SH tattoo? Or just the T-shirt? 
If you broaden this out to mean people who would at least somewhat identify with this philosophy, you could easily find 4-5 million in Canada alone (and probably each of Holland, Scandinavia, and Australia/New Zealand, too). — MaxEnt 20:56, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources are in the body. Both were dead links but I found internet archive urls for them. One failed to verify (the term "million" doesn't appear on the page), the other (from 1997) does include the 5 million figure, but it's explicitly only referring to how many members belong to organisations affiliated to Humanists International (well, its precursor).

message: Currently, we have "a philosophy or life stance that embraces ... ethics". But what philosophy or life stance doesn't? Unless we can specify what is distinctive about secular humanist ethics beyond what the rest of the sentence implies (by "philosophical naturalism while specifically rejecting religious dogma" etc.), best to leave that out. As for "rejecting ... pseudoscience", this is pointless since there is no philosophy that accepts "pseudoscience".

Talk:Scientist

message: The first sentence of the article states "A scientist is a person who researches to advance knowledge in an area of the natural sciences". Scientists, however, are present in all branches of science, not just the natural sciences, and neither of the two citations seems to claim otherwise.

Talk:Steiner system

message: The indicated (published) sources refer to Woolhouse's problem as the invention of designs. The quotation is incorrect. The actual problem 1733 in the 1844 volume of Lady's and gentleman's diary is different, for it asks to “Determine the number of combinations that can be made out of n symbols, p symbols in each; with this limitation, that no combination of q symbols that may appear in any one of them shall be replicated in any other.”  (With respect to the accepted definition of a design, some combinations of q symbols may be missing.)
Moreover, the solution of this problem is given in the 
1845 volume of the Diary by Mr Septimus Bay, under the assumption that we have a true design, and he determines the number of blocks in a design with given parameters. A note indicate that such designs may or may not exist, depending on the chosen parameters. It is only later (Bose, Skolem,..., Keevash) that necessary and/or sufficient conditions have been given for the existence of designs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.254.61.45 (talk) 14:39, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Sinhalese people

message: 1. Entire Southern India is not Tamil. There are many other non-Tamil speaking populations in Southern India.
2. Dravida in ancient terms meant geographic region bounded on 3 sides by sea = Indian peninsula starting from the mid part of India (south Vindhya mountains)
3. No where Dravida meant Tamil. Tamil had their own unique name Thamizh and were specifically confined to Tamil Nadu state of India
4. Sinhalese language is not spoken anywhere in India. It uniquely developed in Sri Lanka, thus Sinhalese culture and language indigenous to Sri Lanka.
5. Gene flow into Sinhalese population has come from various sources, with Maratha people sharing common ancestry with Sinhalese, as opposed to Bengal as per Singh et al research. There is a strong west Eurasian gene flow into Sri Lanka.
4.South Indian gene flows did happen, but despite this, the Sir Lankan population is considered homogenous with Sri Lankan tamils of U.K (STU) not ST (sri lanka tamils as a whole) being genetically related to Sinhalese, than rest of India. 
all Sinhalese and all Tamils (including Tamil Nadu) are NOT genetically related and all of Sinhalese ancestry 'DID NOT' came from Tamil Nadu of South India. 
Sri Lankan Tamils particularly the Sri Lankan Tamils in U.K (STU) mostly of upper caste Tamils who who migrated long ago as proffessions mostly from wealthy families are closely related to the Sinhalese as compared to OTHER indian populations including Indian tamil Nadu tamils.
