Talk:Assyrian law

message: Til Eulenspiegel is a racist against Mesopotamians.  He keeps putting in a line that Assyrian law is "notably more brutal" than other laws, but when editors but in fact that Old Testament law is very brutal, calling for massacres and destruction of idolators, he took it out.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.238.8.197 (talk) 12:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not that at all.  I'm just concerned that you are introducing sources that make no mention of the topic, Assyrian law.  Even if you are correct that Old Testament law is more brutal, this is the article about Assyrian law.  Please re-read WP:SYNTH carefully - we can't introduce any syntheses unless perhaps they specifically apear already in print.  If you find an RS that we could quote, that specifically compares the two laws, I'd be more than happy to take a look at including it. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 12:44, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Racism

message: "Assyrian law was to a large extent derived from Babylonia. - http://www.bible-history.com/isbe/A/ASSYRIA/ "
The reason I have been removing this is that the authority cited, the ISBE, is so old that it was written before the Assyrian Code had been fully discovered and properly studied, and cites only even older books written before the Assyrian Code was even discovered at all, so it does not seem like a modern, informed source.  That is why I researched and looked up the information on when the Code was discovered and by whom, and added it to the article (i.e., it was discovered by the German Oriental Society).  If you can find a more recent scholarly source that the Assyrian law was "derived from Babylonia", preferably one with examples as opposed to a bald assertion, it should be fine, although presumably it would be better parallelism in that case to say it was derived from "Babylonian law", not derived from "Babylonia".

Talk:Hamburger Abendblatt

message: The current version does not contain very useful encyclopaedic information. It is indeed a translation of the original 2007 version in the German Wikipedia, which has since been majorly superseded.
To someone like me who did not really read the newspaper until today, the description "mildly conservative, but usually pro-government, including during SPD administrations" is not obvious, and would be even less so to a non-German reader — sourcing should be improved. The formulation is also ambiguous, and I wondered what it meant.
In addition, this misses out on the useful additions to the German version. I look to incorporate amendments from the German version. That's a simple way to improve the article. Y. Dongchen (talk) 00:05, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Tampo

message: Is there an indelible division between Tampo and Dabog? They are somewhat part of each other?.. but it does not referenced the latter. Axxand  SPEAK  ACT 13:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I noticed in the article that Tampo is always accompanied by Dabog, with which Tampo would be the emotion and Dabog would be the verb, and yes, the latter just falls under the behaviors of the former but it implies otherwise, I mean it denotes in the article that Tampo is Dabog. Another thing, Tantrums should also be mentioned in the article as that would be meant by Tampo in kids, though Tampo in adult would meant cold war (most of it). In teenagers, it would be Dabog. I am not sure, just giving my observation. I wish to expand this article but I mostly do my edits at work and I dont have access to other sites except if it is work-related. :) Just want to share my idea.

thread_title: Software Centric

message: I visited this article hoping to find out where the term originated. But there is not yet a "History" section. 
I first heard the term around 1988 at Apple when Jean-Louis Gassée was championing an improvement to what he and his collaborators called the "out-of-the-box experience" or some variant of that. In measurable terms, the goal was to reduce the time from opening a carton containing a new device like a Mac II to having it fully installed, turned on and running an application. I do not know whether Jean-Louis or one of his collaborators coined it or whether it was already in use and we adopted it.
If someone does remember and can provide a verifiable source, I think that including such information would be of historical interest. Larry Tesler (talk) 20:09, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of the term 

message: Is it a surprise that wrong and misleading info never cite a source? I found these in the article:
The process of installing Microsoft Windows is a common example for OOBE. While the installation is largely automatic, the user must proceed through multiple screens to acknowledge software license terms, specify partition settings for the hard disk, enter the "product key", select international settings, a time zone, and also configure network settings. After the installation is complete, Microsoft Windows launches the "out-of-box application" that presents a full-screen wizard to assist the user with critical first steps of using Windows, such as creating a user account, registering the software with Microsoft (optional), configuring Internet connectivity, and product activation. Although this Microsoft application is named after OOBE, the real OOBE began when the user first turned on a new computer and was taken through the initial setup.
Notice how the last sentence contradicts everything said so far.
I've deleted the paragraph and replaced it with one sentence that cite two sources. Waysidesc (talk) 06:16, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Balanced pair

message: Balanced line and Balanced pair technically are very different. Balanced lines are used primarily in audio applications, balanced pair is use primarily in RF applications. Although the names are similar thats where the similarity stops. Balanced line actually employs 3 wires and often a metallic shield. Balanced pair means what it means.. A pair. Both have different applications. Rather than merge this article I would suggest redirecting it to Ladder line as the article is slim on content and Ladder line actually gives a better description of what a balanced pair is. Twisted pair is another close cousin, problem is not all twisted pairs are balanced most are unbalanced. --Dp67 | QSO | Sandbox | UBX's 09:58, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Looking at male and female SCA connectors, I can see no difference in the pin length except that the outer (shielding) contacts are longer. The outer connectors appear to be both grounded on at least some systems, so at best hotplugging will first connect ground and then logic signals- there is no provision for connecting power after logic and no final detection loop.

Talk:Hare Krishna (mantra)/Archive 2

message: IMO this article needs something similar to 
:This article is about the Hare Krishna Mantra. For the Hare Krishna Religion, see ISKCON.
As many people (and as the article itself notes) think Hare Krishna is the name of the religion. Chopper Dave 03:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If we did that it would have to say "For the Hare Krishna Religion, see Gaudiya Vaishnavism", which some people could argue as still being pov as devotees outside of the Gaudiya movement also chant Hare Krishna. But what is popularly meant by the Hare Krishnas is specifically Gaudiya devotees who are well known through their street preaching so I see your point. As it stands all these links are already included in the introduction. I'd vote to keep as is. Ys, Gouranga(UK) 09:05, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Links to Gaudiya organisations (including ISKCON) are still appropriate to the article, I was making the point that we shouldn't start with a disambiguation notice to the ISKCON page as had been suggested. Regards, Gouranga(UK) 20:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dear Sfacets, as stated above - links to Gaudiya organisations (including ISKCON) are highly relevant to this article. The rationale behind this is that such organisations are primarily based around the practice of chanting the Hare Krishna mantra. I find it strange you removed only the Iskcon links and yet left other organisations links alone. This article takes into account the wider context of the Hare Krishna mantra, and practices and organisations associated with it. As such it makes sense to me to give links to these organisations. Ys, Gouranga(UK) 17:58, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Dear GaurangaUK, as I mentioned in my edit summary, links already exist in linked articles. The article is unbalanced at the moment, with a strong bias towards ISKCON, when this relatively small organisation, which traces it's origins to Vaishnavite roots is not the only or the most notable group to hold this mantra as central to it's philosophy. (I refer here to the large paragraph on ISKCON, as well as the disproportionately large external link section, when each of the other movements only receive a single link each). Also, why is it that you re-inserted Peacock terms that I had removed? Sfacets 18:18, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Sfacets, I have amended the words you described as 'peacock' terms. The fact is that on an international basis the Hare Krishna mantra is most well-known (by far) because of it's promotion by Iskcon in the past 40 years, this is highly significant in this article. I have amended the links section, as admittedly there were one or two links which were not essential, but due to the comparative size of Iskcon do not feel it innapropriate to have a number of links alongside those of other organisations.

thread_title: Merger proposal

message: With dates that precede adoption of the Gregorian system (most of Britain, 1752) it is customary, I think, to specify both Julian and Gregorian dates (see the article on Byrd, for example), at least if one can be fairly sure that one's sources, their sources and their sources have been careful in this regard (... erm. Or otherwise put... erm. :( ) Is there at least fairly good reason at least to suppose that these are Gregorian dates (as our policy does in fact require?)

Talk:Gaelic Union

message: Aondacht na Gaeilge, or the Gaelic Union, predates the Gaelic League.
The Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language was founded in 1876, the Gaelic Union was founded as a result of a slit in this movement, the Gaelic Union. The Gaeilge Union achieved some notable success including ensuring that Irish was placed on the syllabus, and the founding of the first irish magazine in Irelan "Irisleabhar na Gaedhilge", one of the members was Douglas Hyde who later founded the Gaelic League, who felt that the Gaelic Union didnt concentrate on the living language.
To redirect to the Gaelic League is like redirecting the Fenian Brotherhood to the IRA, they are different, distinct organisations...

This statement seems pretty ridiculous in light of the fact that the HAVE BLUE was a subsonic aircraft and the KINGFISH was designed for high-supersonic speeds, something that plays a very important role in how aerodynamic design comes into play.
