replies: text: In the sentence "The importance of Sullivan to the popularization of The Bell Curve and race science was noted by Matthew Yglesias", the words "race science" were turned into a link to scientific racism in the diff I posted.

text: I would also add that the entire "Race" section should be removed. The links are to far-left sources (notably, The Guardian) which demonstrate clear POV in violation of Wikipedia policies. This is an obvious attempt to depict Sullivan as racist from a far-left perspective. I have also removed the tendentious Current Affairs quote, and would add that Current Affairs quotes (in particular, those of the founder Nathan J. Robinson) are scattered across articles pertaining to controversial subjects despite the magazine's status as fringe and rarely quoted in reliable mainstream articles. --Jatkins (talk - contribs) 08:40, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Help needed 

message: This line seems like a bit of a generalisation, especially considering the article source says "Who else can’t read cursive? I asked the class. The answer: about two-thirds.", and focuses on the declining rate of cursive. I understand that "GEN Z NEVER LEARNED TO READ CURSIVE" is the article's title, but it implies that no schools teach cursive anymore. I would make a change to the article myself, but I am not a very experienced Wikipedia editor yet. Does anyone else have thoughts? AkiyamaKana (talk) 18:37, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, it is a huge and inaccurate generalization without significant evidence. Common Core is blamed for the decline of cursive, but the oldest of Gen Z would have already been 14 when it was implemented.

Talk:Ambiplasma

message: So honestly I have no idea what to say, except to reference Talk:Plasma cosmology. And possibly the history of luminiferous aether.
Removed the "field" from "plasma field", because it's meaningless. Removed the utterly bizarre reference to the biblical Book of Genesis. Removed "koinomatter" because, as far as I can tell, no one but Alfvén ever used the term, and as written it does nothing but confuse. Added the word "hypothetical" because it desperately needs to be on here somewhere, and this was my best guess as to where.
Really, the details of Alfvén's cosmology belong on another page. This should just be a description of ambiplasma itself, with references thereto: surely the concept of a matter-antimatter plasma isn't inherently tied to it? (If it is -- that is, if there can't be non- macrocosmic ambiplasmas -- then this information should probably just all be put in Plasma cosmology and let ambiplasma be a redirector.)

There's a page on home improvement, that mostly deals with DIY and is homeowner cetered (which is o.k. given the title) and there's a bit mentioned in Property tax and in Property law, but what I'm missing is a page that would deal with things like: If a company installs a new loading bay in a propery they rent would this be considered a fixture?  What improvements require permits?  What improvements have to be removed when a tennant moves out?  What improvements are desirable for commercial investors because of e.g. tax benifits?  If an improvement generates extra income/ value who's entitled to benefit from it (owner/tennant)?  etc. etc.  I think having the commercial angle on one page might be a good idea.

#The gothic and old english ones are not attested in any source of literature
#The danish, swedish and norwegian are simple adjustment from the old norse
# Old high german is another reconstructed from not present in any source.
# Proto germanic and indoeuropean are simply reconstructed, maybe not even correct.

message: The first paragraph of the Old Norse section makes references to Heaven and Hell, two concepts non-existent in Norse mythology, and their use is quite misleading (listing Asgard as heaven and attributing Niflheim and Hel to hell).  The following sentence is a little better, describing upper, middle, and lower worlds, but once again, attributing external concepts to those worlds (heaven to the upper, and "Underworld" to the lower).  At this time, I'm not entirely sure how to correct this, otherwise I would have.  If anyone else would like to take a crack at it, feel free.

message: The sentence "Because he was a leftist, bisexual, and anticlerical who defied all party lines, his books were banned in communist Poland.[1]" suggests his books were banned by communists due to him being leftist and anticlerical - this is hard to believe as communism in Poland was leftist and anticlerical...

The ATK "console" application is not a terminal or shell window (despite the confusing name). It is a system monitoring and user information tool. Basically, it is a window full of widgets. Standard widgets include a clock, CPU load graph, user email notifier, filesystem activity icon, and a scrollable system message log. The content and layout of the console window was configurable by editing a text file, and many user-designed layouts were available at CMU. A popular favorite contained a bitmap image of a TARDIS, which could be dematerialized using a menu option.--63.94.127.33 (talk) 20:38, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
