Talk:Ideal type

message: "Weber admitted employing "ideal types" was an abstraction but claimed it was nonetheless essential if one were to understand any particular social phenomena because, unlike physical phenomena, it involved human behavior which must be interpreted by ideal types"
This sentence is grammatically circular but ignoring that, it still seems doomed to being a non-sequitor.  Must not physical phenomena be also interpreted with ideal types?  No actual physical data would ever precisely correspond to the mathematical description.  For example the three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees, says Euclidean geometry.  In reality however, there is no such thing as a triangle.  Attempts to manufacture one will fail and even if they somehow succeeded - presumably, not a molecule out of place - we couldn't know it.  
I believe CF Gauss actually decided to check this particular physical phenomenon by measuring the angle at three hilltops.  All sorts of things would have got in the way: atmospheric refraction, deviation of the vertical, and instrument error as well as observer error which he would have been interested in.  - Pepper 150.203.2.85 04:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The intro says "Ideal type [...] is a typological term." Because typological goes to a typology disambiguation page, which if used correctly would lead back to this very same article, this is an example of defining a word by the word itself. In other words, the intro is meaningless self-reference. I am not familiar enough with the concept myself to write a better intro, but please someone do so. Theshibboleth 07:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed 'Lake Highlands' as his birthplace and replaced it with Dallas.  Lake Highlands is an area in the City of Dallas.  Even if for some odd reason he was born in the Lake Highlands area (which has doctors' offices but no hospitals to the best of my knowledge), the usual custom is to give the community, town, village or city as the place of birth, not the neighborhood within a city.
In order to make the denizens of Lake Highlands happy, I added the fact that he graduated from Lake Highlands High School.  It seemed appropriate to place that right after the sentence which said that he married his high school sweetheart.  Every bio I've seen says that Gwen was his college girlfriend.  If anyone could find a source which would confirm that they both attended LHHS, it would be appropriate to combine the two sentences.  Vereverde (talk) 19:17, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing info about recent stuff 

message: I don't have RS for this, but wanted to put this on people's radars. I'm a little skeptical that this newspaper can truly be considered a descendent of The Korea Daily News. I think they want to claim this for two reasons:
# The Korea Daily News is prestigious
# Claiming descendency would make them the oldest newspaper in Korea
However, this comes at the cost of accepting the collaborating Maeil Sinbo as part of its history. This is of course unpleasant, but I think they probably made a value judgement and decided it was worth doing. Many South Korean organizations that descend from colonial-era entities grapple with similar issues.
Still, I'm inclined to believe their claim. The gaps in between The Korea Daily News, Maeil Sinbo, and Seoul Shinmun were fairly short. This is in contrast to the modern Gyeongnam Ilbo's claim, which I think is far less believable. See that article for why. toobigtokale (talk) 08:32, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Freehold Raceway

message: Freehold Raceway is a good track. However, there is not many people who go to the races now. The purses are small too. I think if they allowed a "casino" in the grandstand (like at YOnker's Empire City in Yonkers, New York & pAILADELPOHIA pARK IN bENSALEM) the purses would be hire, and many more people would come to hte track. Also, i feel they should build barns in hte back, so horses can be stabled there. They should also fix-up the paddock as it is not that nice, compared to the Meadowland's paddock. However, that is not important, the main thing is getting OWNERS and TRAINERS to come to Freehold.

It appears the Bosch was left behind after the large image of the open triptych got deleted, but the deleter failed to realize that the closed doors depict not the temptations of S. A. but the arrest of Christ and Christ bearing the cross...so not very relevant to ol' Anthony. In any case, as an "iconic" image, Grünewald is better and less confusing than the Bosch.) Cheers!

Valueyou (talk) 16:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I notice that Valueyou has restored La Monte Young to this list, after I removed him a few days ago. As a courtesy to Valueyou, I am letting this stand for the time being, but I feel this raises a serious issue about this list. If Young qualifies on the basis of just one or two Fluxus pieces from the early 1960s, and if John Lennon and Yoko Ono qualify on the basis of just two improvisation albums made in 1968 and 1969, then are not any and all musicians who have ever used noise instead of, or more prominently than pitch in at least one piece equally qualified for this list? If so, then I must recant my recent removal of at least ten names, and get busy listing hundreds or even thousands more, starting with George Antheil, Henry Cowell, Charles Ives, and Edgard Varèse, if not perhaps also even Michel Corrette (for his La Victoire d'un combat naval of 1779). If, on the other hand, this list should include only those composers and other sound artists who are principally associated with the genre of noise music, then I submit that neither Young nor Lennon/Ono belong here. 
This in turn leads to the main article on noise music, which does not do a very good job of defining just what this is supposed to be. The term is certainly a very recent coinage, dating I believe no further back than the 1980s. There are a few sources cited in the noise music article that refer to precedents for the making of music with nothing but noises, but the article seems to include all of these musicians indiscriminately as makers of noise music. Certainly Luigi Russolo qualifies, not only as a precedent but as a composer and theorist who embraced noise as the basis of his music, but it is preposterous to include, as the article does, Arnold Schoenberg, whose strenuous objection to the term "atonal" in reference to his work was precisely because he was not interested in writing music using noises instead of tones.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:07, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
