replies: text: I followed the instructions in WP:MERGE and added a brief summary of that information onto this page. If that doesn't suffice for you, blame WP:MERGE. Also, nearly everything you added again was just copied and pasted, with slight edits to the first parts of some sentences. That's not summary. If you really want this information in, actually write it in a brief and concise manner. Our job is not to represent every little thing about Muir College. It's to summarize the information of primary importance. Let Muir's website go into the little details like what GPA you need to qualify for the Muir Special Project major.

Also, regarding the "revert war type deal" that you mentioned on the article history page, unless you want to consider this latest version of all that copied and pasted text and the previous version the same thing, then it was only one revert and should be considered on its own merits. If you do want to consider them the same thing, however, then it was actually you re-adding all of that despite a concurrence that it's not permissible to add all of that.

message: Castration refers to the removal of the testicles which are contained in the scrotum.  Roosters have testes, not testicles.  There is no such thing as a scrotum in roosters.  So strictly speaking, it is invalid to refer to removing the testes from a rooster as castration.  It is caponization. 65.68.190.212 (talk) 04:34, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Nixon diamond

message: I'm not sure I should have changed the spelling of credolous to credulous. Here's why not and why I did it anyway:
1. "Credolous" isn't a word according to dictionary.com. The word is normally spelled as "credulous".
2. But when I Google "credolous", I get several logic papers like this one, along with "credolous" in other contexts where it's simply a mistake. So it could be argued that "credolous" is the correct spelling of a technical logic term.
3. But one such logic paper was this: "A General Modal Framework for the Event Calculus and its Skeptical and Credulous Variants", 1996. "Credolous" appears in the body but not the title. So, it could be that other papers copied this spelling, thinking it was an intentional new word instead of a mistake.
4. Anyway, both "credolous" and "credulous" are the opposite of "skeptical", so it would be a lot simpler to spell "credulous" the same way all the time. Art LaPella 21:12, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Auðumbla

message: As a point of curiosity here are the results of a Google test for the variant spellings and ASCII-renderings of Auðumbla's name. I searched for pages in English only.
*Auðumbla 11
*Auðumla 52
*Auðhumbla 6
*Auðhumla 102
*- - -
*Audumbla 287
*Audumla 840

*Authumbla 0 (6 in other languages)
*Authumla 28
*Authhumbla 4
*Authhumla 4
*Audhhumbla 1
*Audhhumla 0 (6 in other languages)
I don't think this is important or even very meaningful. Each of the four Old Norse spellings is as correct as the others. And each of the ASCII renderings is as correct as the others.
English translations are somewhat more relevant. Young uses "Auðhumla", Brodeur uses "Audumla", Faulkes uses "Audhumla", Anderson uses "Audhumbla".
I picked "Auðumbla" as the article title because that's what Lexicon Poeticum does. Since one form is really as good as the next I guess I could defer to Young and the most common Internet usage and go for "Auðhumla".  - Haukurth 21:12, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Britannica gets this one wrong (as it is wont with Norse names). It gives three variants: "Audhumia, Audhambla, Audhumla". Only the last one, I fear, is correct. - Haukurth 21:23, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

message: one has to consider in a spiritual system that is still mainly by oral tradition, with no centralizing forces & mass-reproduction/invention of doctrine, that something "newly invented" by any teller is not necessarily "inauthentic", in fact likely based on previous tales at least somewhat, no matter how seemingly outlandishly-tangent from previous tales, the strength of an oral tradition is great flexibility to constantly evolving situations and particular locations & people, that strength is highly dependent on the skill & wisdom of the tellers & keepers, often far more trust is extended to them than in centralized-religion, not that centralized-religion isn't also ultimately dependent on this very same skill-set of individual talent & flexibility, tailored with any particular location & group... based on such principle one would have to consider anything Snorri Sturluson says as at least "authentic" by note of his reasonable place & status as a teller & keeper, otherwise if not so, to toss most or all of it as "inauthentic", yet still clearly as of historical-notation to some specific place & circumstances  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.146.43.46 (talk) 20:22, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Who says it? Even by Cassius Dio's high estimate of 300000 total numbers, Phillipi still has it comfortably beat at 410000 total. This is strange because I've seen the claim that Lugdunum is the largest Roman engagement elsewhere too.

thread_title: wrong games

message: I originally played my first infocom game, Zork 1 on an Atari 800 many years ago...loved the experience and subsequently bought and played most of the other games Infocom produced. ( I still have many of the original packages of the Atari Games!) 
A few years ago I saw the compilations Lost Treasures of Infocom volumes 1 & 2 and decided to buy them to play later when the time was right. Just a few days ago I dusted them off with great anticipation and started to load disk 1, Zork 1. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered they would not work with Windows XP. Is there anyway I can load them with an Interpretor and where do I get one and how do I make it work. 
I emailed Activision...but alas the grue must have devoured them all for know one replied (reinforces my feeling that they are all really in the dark over there when it comes to the Infocom franchise!)  Anyway..any help would be appreciated.  regards JOhn
:I'm not certain, but DOSBox might do the trick to get these games running on your PC.  Most of these games can be played online, though, via Java.  At least two sites that host these games are linked to via the main Infocom article (at the bottom).  But I know playing them on your PC is better, since you can't save your games in the Java versions. HTH — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:02, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

However, this appeared in a column on the New York Times, referencing another opinion article, and it was an Ohio Supreme Court decision.  I think this information is, if anything, getting larger than Totes>Isotoner in the first place, and certainly warrants mention on their Wikipedia stub.

Talk:Blacktailed red sheetweaver

message: Ok, this does need to be cleaned up.  In answer to the question by User:Ashley Pomeroy I think sheetweb and sheetweaver spiders are the same thing.
Here is what I think needs to be done.  This particulary species needs to be moved to it's own page, essentially this page.  Then this page needs to be turned into a stub that has the correct taxobox.  That part is my fault, as I put this taxobox in.  I've cleaned up similar problems with Praying mantis (among others) so will do this one in the next day or so if it sounds good.  I'll also create the necessary redirects for it to be a logical progression.  Sound good?  Wikibofh 22:06, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: clean up

message: I don't mean to be rude, but very little of the information in this article is accurate.  The photos are not of Florinda coccinea: they are of a spider from any of several erigonine genera, such as Ceraticelus, Ceratinops, Ceratinella, Ceratinopsis or Ceratinopsidis.  This is pretty easy to tell, since Florinda has a black tubercle on the posterior end of the abdomen, while the spider in these photos clearly doesn't.
Furthermore, the description of the spider given in the text (size and eye arrangements) do not match Florinda coccinea, but do match the genera I listed above.  I suspect that the text of this article was based entirely on these misidentified photos.
Finally, the name "black-tailed red sheetweaver" isn't an accepted common name and doesn't have very high currency anyway, so it shouldn't be used for the title of this article.  I don't know how to rename articles or to upload photos, but I can write some better content.  If someone can show me how to upload photos, I have a couple I might be willing to share.

And those traits, too, have their sources and citations. If we don't let one of the sources have precedence over the other (i.e. the sources defining "vampire" as an undead entity from slavic folklore over the sources defining it as any mythological bloodsucker), the vampire topic on wikipedia will be self-contradictory. I suggest letting references from the field of anthropological studies have precedence over ones from popular fiction, but I'm not sure how such issues are usually handled in Wikipedia. Also note that the only source in the Penanggalan article which actually mentions anything related to vampires calls it "vampire-like", which does not explicitly mean it is a vampire.
