Talk:Johannes Gutenberg

message: One of the long names of Gutenberg is "Gensfleisch zur Laden gen. Gutenberg, Johannes" (source: https://www.lagis-hessen.de/pnd/118543768 - also check the article on dewiki: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Gutenberg). This "gen." is short for "genannt", which states that he was known as "Johannes Gutenberg". I suspect someone read this "gen." as "gen", which is an archaic form of "gegen", which is itself an archaic way of saying "zu/zur/zum". The article was created with the "zum Gutenberg" title and  suspect this style has sufficiently polluted academic sources. I thus cannot, at this marcus, rule out that the english academic literature calls him so.
I am, however confident that his german name is not "... zum Gutenberg". --83.64.142.10 (talk) 14:46, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems fine. Even German sources called him "zum Gutenberg" before Wikipedia: https://www.digitale-sammlungen.de/en/view/bsb11710202?page=,1 - still strange, he does not seem like nobility. --128.130.239.36 (talk) 16:14, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: “Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg“ would most literally translate from modern German to modern English as “gene meat of the stores/magazine of Gutenberg (“good mountain” - but let’s not go overboard with literal translation).” Interpreting the meaning that this would likely have had in the language of the day, one might render it “Johannes, Issue of the Bounty of Gutenberg,” with Gutenberg referring to the family estate. 205.178.98.205 (talk) 04:34, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Kurt Cobain

message: This is an edit request for the Sexuality tab.

Talk:Kurt Gödel

message: User:DIYeditor, I removed that section because when I read the article, I found it to be the most distracting section out of all. Biographies should be focused on the people themselves. I know that Godel is an influential mathematician, but it's far better to show why he is influential in the first place rather than listing things that are tangentially related to him. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 16:25, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: To me removing the mention of Gödel, Escher, Bach was perplexing and indicates exactly why this "nuking" you have been doing to biography articles in inappropriate.

message: Hmm, maybe we do need to figure this out.  I would have thought the article was in American English per WP:TIES, but then again that applies only when it's clear, and Gödel was American but other things as well.  Is there an established variety?  I can't find "color" or "colour", "labor" or "labour".  "Honor" and "honour" both appear.  As far as I can tell, all words that are distinguished between the varieties by -ise versus -ize are resolved in favor of -ize. --Trovatore (talk) 23:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Callicrates

message: Do we want to be naming Greeks using the transliterations?  Callicrates is beyond doubt going to be the more common form, and there is already a precedent set by Greek mythology pages...
-----
fine with me.  I wrote the Kallikrates/Callikrates and Iktinos/Ictinus entries, but the Parthenon page was begun by an ethnic Greek, and I wasn't going to change his spelling.  My own PREFERENCE would be to use the Latin.  My usual COMPROMISE is to use the Greek.  --MichaelTinkler
Oh, and, I'd say that scholarly usage decidedly shifted around 1970 to using the Greek form.  I'm using a book for a class this term whose first edition was published in 1967 and was a little jolted to see Ictinus and Callicrates. Popular usage, though, should probably determine the general listing (pace the American Civil War controversy) --MichaelTinkler
So far as I am concerned, the Greek language does not have a "C." Therefore Kallikrates is the correct form. Paul Bristol (talk) 16:02, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Koan in western medicine 

message: In the Doctrinal Background section, Shizuteru Ueda is introduced as allegedly remarking on the "meaninglessness and absurdity of koan language". But from the quoted text that follows, I see no clear evidence of this as a reflection of meaninglessness or absurdity. Rather, it looks as though Ueda is remarking on the uses of Koan language. However, I admit I do not understand the context. The editor who claims this is a remark on absurdity may have read more from the author, Ueda, and found that this was written in the form of irony or cynicism. But it is not clear from the reader's (our) perspective if this is what Ueda intended. More clarity would be appreciated. Cheers 83.249.63.214 (talk) 13:45, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Karma

message: These are not the same. For example there is the mess in households of impoverished Brahmans.
In the West a clean house is connected to Good and Moral, but this does not apply to all movements within Hinduism/Buddism. An impoverished priest or land-owner may not clean even if this causes him to endure disease and vermin, as doing the deed of cleaning presumably causes bad karma to members of his caste. Notoriously a toilet infested with maggots may be preferred over bad karma.
Karma tends to a strict role model, confined to serve the self in presumed next life. It may lead to decisions detrimental to the current and detrimental to the lives of many. From western point of view such decisions appear inconvenient, inappropriate and are hard to explain.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.83.108.100 (talk) 10:25, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

*I have made a redirect. There might be some discussion that since changing the name was connected with the exodus or expulsion of most of the city's residents and with the attpemts to wipe out the German culture, thus, there should be two separate articles on German Koenigsberg and Russian Kaliningrad.

The Indian government which is generally not keen to discuss the political underpinnings of the dispute prefers the "conflict" terminology.  On WP the "conflict" has been grandfathered in.
