replies: text: I was just about to create a new section saying that I can't believe there's no mention of quantum entanglement here. I think removing that link was a mistake. Yes, it'd be better to put QE in context (instead of just a bald link), but not mentioning it here at all makes Wikipedia sound like it can't even make the simplest of conceptual links. It's fascinating that people thought of clearly crazy things like weapon salve and powder of sympathy; and yet now we're learning what we're learning about entanglement, which should by rights be equally nuts. But it isn't. Very interesting. Removing that link was a mistake, and a shame. 2601:600:A480:4C20:45C6:BE1:671B:7A9 (talk) 05:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:The Decatur Daily

message: An edit regarding perceived bias, especially one not universally perceived, is inherently POV. As I said in AlabamaGuy2007's talkpage, I graduated from Austin High, where it was widely held that the Daily was biased towards Decatur High. I've been reading the Daily since I was old enough to read, and I still perceive this bias. I guess it just goes to show that we're all a little biased close to home, and that we see what we want to see. I'm reverting the edit. Seriously, cross-town high school rivalry is extremely petty stuff to be including in an encyclopedic article about a respectable media outlet, especially in the article summary. —LonelyPilgrim 02:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sensibility

message: This article needs a lot of work--primarily the first section.  No mention of Johnson in the Age of Sensibility?

message: I would also like to ask: on what date did strategic essentialism first appear?  In what publication first?   My own recollection is in the forward to Derrida's _Grammatology_ but I might be off. 
I did a little hunting.  Seems like Spivak first talked about this in an interview in 1984-5:  Criticism, feminism, and the institution,” interview with Elizabeth Gross, Thesis Eleven, 10/11, November/March: 175-87.--Dylanfly 21:17, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of first appearance?

message: I added a citation tag after the claim that Irigaray uses this concept, based on the following reasoning: if Irigaray explicitly refers to the term "strategic essentialism," it should be referenced. If she didn't, it is not at all self-evident that she uses the concept of mimesis in the same way, so some source for this claim should be cited. I'm not too familiar with Iragaray so I can't provide a source either way, but from what I understand she uses mimesis rather as a subversive tool, i.e. employing the concept to which women were reduced to put into question this very reduction.77.251.49.84 (talk) 10:35, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding

message: Hello, I was unsure about the artwork for this album. Originally, the artwork was different and looked like what is pictured to the right: 
This link (http://darkmp3.ru/imgs/7753238-460x460/everything-is-alive-everything-is-breathing-nothing-is-dead-and-nothing-is-bleeding.jpg), and another thumbnail (http://deepmp3.ru/images/912473-150x150/everything-is-alive-everything-is-breathing-nothing-is-dead-and-nothing-is-bleeding.jpg), are the only two versions of the old artwork that I can find anywhere on the web. (Luckily, I had saved a copy to my computer from a while back). I also recall seeing the original artwork on this wikipedia page possibly back in 2007 or 2008. I also recall reading on this talk page several years later something about the copyright for the artwork not being valid because the woman pictured behind the hat did not agree to have her picture taken, so the band had to change the artwork, hence the new artwork. However, I can find nothing about the old artwork on either the Article or Talk Page history and since there are only two pictures on the entire internet, I am feeling like I am crazy. It's as if almost all reference to it and nearly all images of it were abolished. Can anyone else verify that the old artwork used to exist, or what happened to it?
Also, the original artwork had a slightly different title: Everything's Alive, Everything's Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, Nothing Is Bleeding ('s versus is, and the omission of and) Joshuajohnson555 (talk) 02:01, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:MC Trouble

message: As seen at the beginning of Boyz II Men's video "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday", the song was dedicated to the late female emcee, and her life dates were read as 7/30/70-6/4/91. If this is correct, she died at the age of 20 instead of 19. However, other sources on the Web state that she was born in 1972, and died on her 19th birthday.

Talk:Elroy Hirsch

message: Also of note in the illustrious career of "Crazy Legs" Hirsch is his appearance as the co-pilot in the aiplane drama "Zero Hour." "Zero Hour" was the inspiration for the knockoff "Airplane" which is take word from word from "Zero Hour."
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the co-pilot in "Airplane" keeping with the jock tradition of Elroy Hirsch. The role was supposed to go to Pete Rose, but since "Airplane" was filmed in the summer, Rose was still playing (and betting?) and unable to star in that great movie.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.143.228.134 (talk) 03:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: If I am not mistaken, he held the NFL record for receiving yards in a season for 33 seasons (the article indicates 19).  If you ignore AFL records, then no one in the NFL surpassed his 1951 record of 1,495 yard until St. Louis's Roy Green in 1984 who went for 1,550 (in a 16 game format).  If you do include AFL statistics (which the NFL agreed to do as part of the merger agreement) then it only held for ten years (Charlie Hennigan had 1,700+ in 1961).  Also, his 17 touchdowns from that season wasn't surpassed until 1984 as well when Mark Clayton caught 18.  Finally, his yards/game that season rate 3rd all time - a stat that balances out the fact that he played in 12 game seasons will later players played in 14 or 16 game seasons.

Talk:Colorado Boulevard

message: This article deals with the most popular section of all that it the line of vehicular communication called Colorado Blvd. That part is, the Pasadena part. Colorado Blvd. was named in Pasadena as one of those east-west streets that would honor the first of 33 states to settle in Pasadena. This aligns with the names of California, Kansas (now Green), Dakota (now Howard), Montana, Wyoming, and others since passed or renamed. The article on the freeway stubs does not belong here, They share neither the same history nor story lines. I have lived here all my life and know Colorado Bvd. as well if not better than the best.

text: Good question! The road's (Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena) original development probably does not predate the Indiana Colony, the original white settlement. Their "Main Street" was Orange Grove Blvd. where most the original homesteaded land tracts were subdivided. The first of the civic developments occurred near Fair Oaks with Barney Hollingsworth's general store. In regards to development you have a date of original grading which probably happened shortly after the incorporation of the Colony, 1873. It remained a dirt road, albeit a main commercial boulevard for years to come. It hosted the first Rose Parade in 1889. I would give it a start date of 1873. City Hall would have a record of it being named an avenue, street or boulevard.--Magi Media 03:22, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Walter Firth

message: Walter Firth is notable as the first person to be put into the position of mens officer anywhere in Australia and for that matter, in the world. He is also a part of the controversy of the Liberal club controlling UNESA, and whether it ever did anything good. Many people at the University of New England agreed with the formation of this position, and in future years people will be able to use it as a precedent to create this position elsewhere, and to show that even in the early 21st century gender discrimination still took place, and a mens officer  was needed to make males behave nad stop discriminating against women.

Wikipedia talk:Spanish Translation of the Week/History

message: I removed the reference to Battle of Yungay as a SPATRA in this edit because I could find no other evidence that it was ever a collaboration. It was placed on the list between the entries for Age of Pericles (beginning 28 Aug 2005) and Tuxtla Gutiérrez (beginning on 5 Sept 2005). This might lead one to believe that "Battle" was the translation sometime between 28 Aug and 5 Sept, but the history of "Battle" shows that it wasn't ever created until 23 Sept. 
I suppose it's possible that someone added it to the wrong spot on the list, and it was actually the SPATRA from 23 Sept to 3 Oct (when Capernaum begins). After all, the article does appear to have been translated from the Spanish. I'm inclined to think it was never a true SPATRA collaboration, though, especailly since it was never listed on the widely-used Template:SPATRAtopic. I wasn't a very active contributor at the time, so maybe someone who better remembers those days can enlighten me. For now, I've removed it from the list. Draeco 03:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
