Talk:OhmyNews

message: On an unrelated aside, in this Newsweek article it says "On a more organized scale, About.com offers how-to advice from hundreds of self-posting experts around the nation, and Wikipedia.com is a self-posting encyclopedia where more than 6,000 active contributors have submitted 600,000 articles on countless topics." Its good to see Wikipedia being commonly refered to. But I just thought it was funny that they said Wikipedia had 600,000 articles, but countless topics. Aren't the articles topics? :)
Ohmynews sounds like a very successful Wikinews (albeit with a different structure). --Eean 04:59, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikinews

message: Eean mentioned this, and I was thinking maybe it should be clarified: just what are the differences between Wikinews and OhmyNews?  The first major difference I've noticed is that Wikipedia is a bit more radical in the definition of "collaborative news", allowing anyone to edit an article.  OhmyNews takes one step back by allowing anyone to submit their own article, which is then vetted and edited by paid staff editors.  As far as I can tell, once the article is published, it is fairly static, while Wikinews articles are continually edited by anyone.  And Eean's right; OhmyNews does seem to be significantly more successful right now. - McCart42 (talk) 01:57, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)
:Well, I guess the main difference between them and WikiNews is that WikiNews will (probably) never publish something like this (ie. sth critical toward WP). 82.217.128.26 23:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:I AM Foundation

message: I've moved from the main page the following unsigned comment by 68.23.101.252 (talk • contribs)
:This info is a muddle and badly researched.
:#  I believe I've read everything Guy Ballard (Godfre Ray King) wrote, including his rare recordings from the 1930s. No where does he speak of Lemurians nor tunnels in Mount Shasta.  He does describe his personal observations, but mostly he emphasized what he learned about the "Law of Life," meaning how to manage your energy and Plan of Life,  and the "Individualized Presence of God, I AM."  This was the basis for the still current "religious movement" that this entry feebly and hastily presented--and far more important than trivia about bizarre sightings. If this was a graduate paper: grade F.
:# The entry might better be retitled:  "I AM" Religious Activity, and/or its organization, Saint Germain Foundation.  Who came up with the name, "I AM" Foundation?  Never heard of it.  Cannot be tied to Ballard or Saint Germain Press.  
:# The reference to Saint Germain Press is legit, and would verify that there is no publication about Lemurians inside the mountain.  The statement that the author (GRK) met the Divine Master Saint Germain on the side of Mount Shasta ("Unveiled Mysteries," chapter 1), however, is the impetus for this Teaching, along with the succeeding two books at the least.  Read the right stuff.
If Ballard didn't talk about the Lemurians (and I don't remember reading that he did), attribution of Lemurians to Ballard is an easy mistake since the I AM and many other similar groups sell (or at least used to sell) copies of Frederick Spencer Oliver's A Dweller On Two Planets and highly recommend it. A fantasy novel written by a bedridden teenager, probably inspired by Marie Corelli and other psychic/spiritual stuff his parents had lying around the house, it's typical of its genre for the period. This is the book that explains how the Lemurians moved to Mt. Shasta and built the tunnels. Plenty of I AM followers believe every word Oliver wrote as gospel. I've got a copy of it right here, and one of these days I'll write a short Wiki article about it. 
I plan to tackle this article and clean it up, but can't do it now. In fact, once I get it cut down to size I'm going to move it to I AM Activity since they are essentially about the same thing ... --Bluejay Young 17:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Susan Sontag

message: ″Sontag lived on Long Island, New York,[1] then in Tucson, Arizona, and later in the San Fernando Valley in southern California..."
I'm reading Benjamin Moser's (authorized) biography of Sontag, and here's where he says she lived:
*January 1933--summer 1933 Manhattan, NY
*1933--1936 Huntington, Long Island, NY
*1936--1939 Great Neck, Long Island, NY
*1939 Verona, New Jersey
*1939-1940 Miami Beach, Florida
*1940 Woodmere, Long Island, NY ("temporarily")
*1941-1942 Forest Hills, Queens, NY("where she spent fifth & sixth grade at PS 144")
*1943-1946 Tuscon, Arizona (address: 2409 East Drachman Street)
*1946-until college Sherman Oaks, California (address: 4540 Longridge Avenue)
As you can see, it's quite a few more places than the article mentions. I'm not sure how this would be incorporated, but I can't edit the page anyway since it's protected. So I thought I'd leave a comment here. (It's chapters 2&3 in Moser's book.) Chris1564 (talk) 06:36, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Instead of this,
Susan Lee Sontag (/ˈsɒntæɡ/; January 16, 1933 – December 28, 2004) was an American writer, philosopher, and political activist.
I propose,
Susan Lee Sontag (/ˈsɒntæɡ/; January 16, 1933 – December 28, 2004) was an American writer, critic, and public intellectual.
Although she did teach philosophy for a period, she quit that to pursue her creative and critical writing. Did she particularly identify with the profession, does anyone know? (I cannot get either the link or its archived version to load.) I think that she is much more commonly referred to as a critic than as a philosopher. As to "public intellectual" rather than "political activist", I just think this better captures the breadth of her political engagement, which seems from the article to mostly involve signing petitions and writing editorials, not the sort of protesting commonly associated with the term "activism"—although I would frame the question as being of which is more accurate, as both are supported by the article.
All thoughts welcome!

Talk:Book of Armagh

message: I agree that my opening paragraph is somewhat inelegant, and could be improved.  However, I feel that the formulation "Book of Armagh (Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS 52)" should remain.  Common names for manuscripts are akin to common names for birds (and other organisms). A single manuscript can have many names, and the same name can be applied to more than one manuscript.  The formulation of (City, Institution, Catalog Info) is an agreed format used by scholars to specify exactly which manuscript is being discussed. It in essence act the same way that Genus species does in biology. (Note that every institution has different cataloging systems and the catalog Info follows each institutions system.)David Stapleton 16:13, Oct 30, 2003 (UTC)
:As you wish. However, you may find that other users will repeat what I did. As a rule, Wikipedia does not adhere to scholarly standards, except for very specific cases, such as plant botanies (see for example Daisy), and you may find it hard to "impose" them here.

Talk:Attitude flying

message: Glad we at least have a sensible title. However there are a lot of things about this page that I think need addressing.
In a sense all flying is 'attitude flying', since you are adjusting the attitude of the aircraft. The only difference is whether you determine the attitude of the plane from outside reference points of from instruments. From the article I don't get whether attitude flying is supposed to be contrasted with instrument flying, or whether it is meant to refer to all flying. In either case we should probably change the title. It seems to me that this information should go to a longer article on 'flying a plane' or something like that.
Incidentally, it is not good style to make each sentence a separate paragraph. DJ Clayworth 16:27, 30 Oct 2003 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge with Primitive root modulo n 

message: A fun fact that could perhaps go in the examples section is that: ord2n+1(n) describes the number of shuffles needed to return to the initial state when shuffling, for example, poker chips with n blue chips in the left hand and n or n+1 red chips in the right hand or a deck of cards (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuffling#Riffle). This can be easily understood if we label the positions of each chip from 1 to 2n (blue being 1 to n, red being n+1 to 2n), shuffling then corresponds to the transformation shuffle(i)=mod(2i,2n+1) so that the condition to return to equilibrium is the number of shuffles needed to have an identity operator, i.e. ord2n+1(n). From the integer series (https://oeis.org/A002326) we can see directly that shuffling with for example 31 chips on each side requires only 6 shuffles to get back to the initial situation. --Jaapkroe (talk) 14:56, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Inorganic compounds 

message: I studied chemistry, and I definitely learned the Hill system: First carbon, then hydrogen, then all other elements in alphabetical order. However, I was taught (and I often observe) a slightly different system. Like Hill, it begins with carbon then hydrogen. Unlike Hill, all other elements are in order of electronegativity, with fluorine last. This gives the familiar H2SO4, whereas Hill gives the far less common H2O4S. Wikipedia itself often favors this electronegativity-based system, as can be seen in halogenated compounds where Br and Cl appear at the very end, despite coming early in the alphabet. I think Hill is favored when electronegativity is not so obvious. On a related note, ionic compounds generally get the cation first, which obeys the electronegativity order but overrides the precedence of C and H, giving familiar ionic compounds like NaCl, NaOCl (which is not in Hill order), HCl (not Hill order because it lacks carbon but H precedes Cl), and NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate, showing that C loses primacy in an ionic compound). I don't know if there are names for these systems that use electronegativity to partially or fully override alphabetical order. They also seem less standardized than the Hill system, but quite common. 209.6.225.254 (talk) 11:03, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
