thread_title:  on Max Wertheimer 

message: Here's part of the second paragraph at present:
"The classic Gestalt example is a soap bubble, whose spherical shape is not defined by a rigid template, or a mathematical formula, but rather it emerges spontaneously by the parallel action of surface tension acting at all points in the surface simultaneously. This is in contrast to the "atomistic" principle of operation of the digital computer, where every computation is broken down into a sequence of simple steps, each of which is computed independently of the problem as a whole."
What a poor contrast! If anything, the emergent form of the bubble from interactions between molecules is similar to that of a computer, in that computer users are unconcerned with bits and register-shifting, but regard the computer as a whole. Unfree (talk) 15:32, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Fun Boy Three

message: Not a big deal, but I'm not sure it's true to say that the FB3 'brighter' or poppier' than late Specials: I found their first album quite dark on first listen.  Their image was lighter, definitely, but the music was an extension of the mood set by some tracks off More Specials.  The Lunatics, for example, could have (and probably would have, but for the split) fitted straight in with the Specials' set.  Any opinions? Pollythewasp (talk) 16:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The first sentence of the History section makes no sense: "The Fun Boy Three dispensed with the ska, pop and lounge sounds...still retaining elements of ska and pop." Did they dispense with them or did they retain them? I'm not knowledgeable enough to guess what the sentence is trying to say. Can somebody else clarify?  Scolaire (talk) 10:53, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point! I think "reduced" would be better than "dispensed with". The difference is the instrumentation as much as anything - The Specials had the guitar and horns usually associated with ska, while The Fun Boy Three initially took a minimal approach with a focus on percussion. For example, the backing track for their biggest hit "It Aint What You Do It's The Way That You Do It" is just drums, synthesised bass, and a xylophone - and that's actually quite representative of their approach at the time. For the second album they assembled a full backing band, and generally had a more recognisably new wave pop outlook. --Walnuts go kapow (talk) 12:04, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that I think about it, is it at all true to say that they reduced the pop and lounge sounds? I don't know the albums, only the singles, but the singles were pure pop, and "It Ain't What You Do" is closer to my idea of lounge music than anything The Specials ever did.

message: The last paragraph of the article reads like an ad for LVMH spirits products, as it mentions three of them by name.  Given that the article (at the time I'm writing this) was last updated August 27th, 2011 I fear that it is a deliberate attempt by someone connected with LVMH to capitalize on Hurricane Irene, which is currently threatening the east coast of the United States. Many bars, restaurants, and consumers throw so-called "Hurricane parties" when actual hurricanes are imminent, so I believe this calls the neutrality of that entire paragraph into question and ought to be stricken.

Talk:Tsurube-otoshi

message: I understand that those of us with no first-hand exposure to Japan outside anime and mangas will think that listing monsters that vaguely resemble Tsurube-otoshi is somehow important. It isn't. First, nothing in Pop Cult was referenced, which means it shouldn't be there to begin with. Secondly, it embarrassing to the rest of us since it gives undue weight to things that are the definition of trivia. Once you break open an actual book (hint, hint) and do some frikkin' research that would stand up to academic inquiry (and if you're not old enough to know what academic research requires ... how cute!), in other words take Japanese mythology seriously, then whatever you come up with should and will go into this article.

Talk:Bob (physics)

message: I removed this irresponsible folk-etymology:
== Origin of the term ==
The term 'bob' may have originated just after the pendulum clock was invented in 1657.  Early verge clock pendulums were short and had very wide swings of 80° or more.  They were often mounted on the back of clock cases, and when running the weight appeared to 'bob' out from behind the case on each side.  These became known as bob pendulums., p.170  Possibly the term spread to all pendulum weights.
which -- besides being excludable simply as our contributor's OR -- clearly reflects the relaxed scholarship of both the cited author and our contributor, each having felt no need for an essential step (whether or not each omitted the same step). 
    Anyone who writes peripherally on etymology must recognize it as a science unto itself, practiced by linguists on the basis of exhaustive surveys of old texts and sophisticated science that elaborates on the example of Grimm's law. Contributor and author each should have taken the elementary steps of 
# looking in any good dictionary for the accepted knowledge on the matter, and 
# -- finding, as they did or would have, that accepted knowledge ignores what i'll call the bobbing pendulum theory -- either backing down or mentioning favorably the more authoritative account.
    The established knowledge on the matter is that Middle English (thru about 1470) had both a noun bobbe, whose derivatives cluster around "bunch" (e.g., of fruit, flowers, hair, yarn, etc.), and a verb boben or bobben, whose derivatives cluster around limited motion (one of my three favorite dictionaries puts it "up and down motion", and says its origin is "probably expressive" -- IMORO sharing the feel of "bop", "bubble", "bump", "boink", and maybe "bounce"). And their etymological grouping puts the suspended-weight senses with the bobtail senses, not the bobber senses.
    My (elementary) OR also shows that plumb bobs (under whatever name) are believed to have been in use for at least 4,269 years longer than pendulum clocks, so it would be surprising coincidence if the term bob started being applied to plumb bobs, in English, as late as multiple centuries after bob's hanging-mass sense became a logical step. (In fact, You could look it up: Oxford English Dictionary will provide you first-known published uses of each sense, in context, each with its date.)--Jerzy•t 05:37, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology 

message: Quote from the Article:
On the other hand, the heavier the bob is the more energy must be supplied by the clock's power source and more friction and wear occurs in the clock's movement.
Why should the mass matter to the power needed to keep in motion in steady state? Pivot friction is small, it says earlier:
Since most of the energy loss in clocks is due to air friction of the pendulum...

Of the two facts in this section one was about a video game that changed the bridge. There is no support for the claim that the bridge in the game is meant to represent this bridge. It is a generic cantilever bridge.
The other claim is not only spurious - it's wrong. "Take it to the Matthews Bridge" regards a musical bridge (between the second and third stanza) that was created by Dave Matthews and Limp Bizkit durring a jam session. The record of the story can be found easily.
