Talk:Deductive-nomological model

message: Even for a philosophically technical subject, the language of this page is dense and hard to follow. Some further editing oriented solely toward clarification and flow on a sentence-by-sentence level would be helpful, ideally by someone familiar with the technical subject matter.
The extensive discursive footnotes also seem inappropriate to me. Such material, if important, should be included in the body of the page; if not important enough for that, it should be deleted.  Eichhoernchen (talk) 12:03, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: clarity and footnotes

message: I'm not very familiar with this concept, so the following is a problem I can not fix on my own.  If someone could help, that would be great.  Regard the following text in the article: due to the way the model eschews any account of causality, modelling, or simplification, it is no longer accepted as dogma.  The word "modelling" is linked to a disambiguation page.  I don't really know what type of modelling is being referred to here, so if someone could pick an article from the disambiguation page, and fix this link to go directly to that article, that would be much better. Schwael 16:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: fix modelling link

message: Likewise, I'm not familiar with this concept, though I found this article generally very clear and informative.  However, the last sentence (the one Schwael picks out above) confuses me:
*Is the article claiming that the D-N model was once accepted dogmatically (i.e., in the pejorative sense, as an unquestioned, quasi-ideological doctrine), but is no longer accepted as such - indeed, is now regarded as having been once accepted or popular for purely dogmatic reasons? or
*Is the article claiming that the D-N model is now accepted as dogma (in the non-pejorative sense, as an orthodox doctrine), having once been viewed with suspicion?
I assume the former, since the article implies that 'the general rejection of logical positivism' was a key turning point in its fortunes, and that the D-N model is 'positivist in tone and implication'.  I guess my problem stems purely from the ambivalent connotations of 'it is no longer accepted as dogma' - is 'it's acceptance is no longer widespread' an acceptable paraphrase?

thread_title: dogma, doctrine

message: *It is unclear to me what the "this" refers to in the first sentence of the second paragraph. The last sentence of the first paragraph? In that case the sentences should belong to the same paragraph. Or does the "this" refer to causation? And a different question: Is there a rule on when to use a single space and when to use double spaces between sentences? This article has both.

Talk:Scientology and hypnosis

message: I love the idea of the article, but it's atrociously written and filled with misspellings and POV. Needs LOTS of work. wikipediatrix 16:29, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Correction:  Not "Hypnosis has nothing to do with Scientology practices."  "The Church of Scientology claims that hypnosis has nothing to do with Scientology practices."

message: There's a major problem with this article, unfortunately.  Namely, that close examination shows that nearly all of it is taken straight from the Anderson Report -- sometimes whole sentences taken word-for-word.  While this gives certain assurances of the verifiability of the information, and while it might not be a copyright violation (does Australia have similar policies as the United States on the copyright status of their official documents?) it does present something of a problem.  Recommendations? -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:15, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem with this article... 

message: I would like to add this article to :Category:Mind control. I am asking first because this could be interpreted as redundant; it is already categorized under Hypnosis, which is subcategorized under Mind control. There is some overlap between these two categories already, and I believe that the covert nature of the hypnosis as claimed in the article qualifies it for inclusion in both. I have no wish to weaken the legitimacy of this topic. thoughts? —popefauvexxiii 21:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mind control 

message: I have to say this is a very poorly written article indeed. I am not a Scientologist, but have looked into the subject in great depth, and also into hypnosis, and I feel this article is frequently inaccurate and misleading with respect to both subjects. There are no references, and many of the comments are blatantly untrue and unfair. I am not defending Scientology, rather more the quality of Wikipedia - the bias of any one person has no place here.

Talk:Software management review

message: In its present form this article doesn't seem to make much sense.  The impression I have is that it is somehow related to the IEEE but I couldn't find any direct mention of this in any of the links from that article.
Perhaps this article would be best as a section or a sub page of the IEEE article, if it indeed  is part of their standards or program, or -as another possibility, perhaps a renaming of the article to something like "IEEE: Management review".
I have just completed a review of the original article and can now see that it has lost much of its sense through the various edits which it has gone through.
An essential element of this particular article is its relationship to the IEEE and its procedures.  The dropping of this aspect to a subordinate position in the article is part of the reason the article seems senseless.
If there is a more general application of the process of "management review" this has to be worked into the article with more care than the manner in which it was treated.  --JAXHERE | Talk 20:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Onterrio Smith

message: On some level it seems a natural fit since Whizzinator seems to have become synominous with Smith in the sports world and there currently is a lot of overlap in content. It seems to me, however, that both articles could be expanded in different directions. The Smith article could have a good bit more information on his stats/football career. The Whizzinator article could expand more on the discussions in congress, and it's status on the American Dialect Society’s 2005 words of the year list. Also, since it continues to be mentioned in the press in stories that don’t involve Smith, it is hard to predict when the Whizzinator story might rise up again.  So perhaps it should stand on its own, if you'll pardon the expression. :-) -MrFizyx 16:53, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Zeuhl

message: I guess the transcription for the pronunciation of "zeuhl" should have been "tsoil" as it is sang by Magma vocalists. Refer to early Magma's albums, for instance: MDK, track 6: Mekanik Kommandoh, at 3:12.
On a bootleg I have from 1975, Christian Vander Pronounces "Zeuhl" like "Zohl."
Rileydog22 03:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is pronounced [] (broad transciption) in Theusz Hamtaahk, Third Movement: Mëkanïk Dëstruktïw Kömmandöh, track 4: Da Zeuhl wortz Mëkanïk (it rhymes with boil there), at 1:06 & track 6: Mëkanïk Kömmandöh, at 3:12. So, [] is a close approximation from an English point of  view. In French, it would be pronounced [] (it would rhyme with seul), but Kobaïan is supposed to be based on German (and Hungarian) elements. --Omnipaedista (talk) 07:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: What? Lyrics of Da Zeuhl Ẁortz Mëkanïk don't even contain the world "Zeuhl". "Zeuhl" is pronounced kind of [dzʲulʲ] at 3:14 in "Hortz Fur Dëhn Štekëhn Ẁešt" and at 6:06 in "Mëkanïk Kömmandöh".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.104.214.174 (talk) 17:42, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Transcription

message: Magma was founded and was creating Zeuhl music since 1969. The first Rock in Opposition festival (along with the birth of that movement) was held nine years later, in 1978. I find it hard for someone to be influenced by the future. Should this be removed?
Birchofacookie (talk) 22:59, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it should rather be re-written. The article does not claim that Magma has been influenced by RiO. Later bands (and musicians), including the mentioned "recent avant-garde Japanese bands" have been categorized as Zeuhl (if they do so themselves or not), and I think it is fair to state that "aspects of rock in opposition" blend into their music. Since there is no Zeuhl headquarter that defines which bands' music is considered Zeuhl, Zeuhl is hard to define (unless you restrict it to Magma, which we don't), and Zeuhl is "work in progress", not some relic in some museum. Maybe that section should rather start like "Zeuhl typically blends progressive rock, symphonic rock, fusion, neoclassicism and has some aspects of rock in opposition"?

Talk:Javolution

message: Hello,
Several of us noticed this article.  While the Javolution product appears to be sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in Wikipedia, a suggestions to avoid the appearance of spam (which is not allowed on Wikipedia):
* Product logos generally go into infoboxes, and should be scaled appropriately--a logo that spans the width of the page is considered poor style.  I've made this change.
* Some more external links would be appropriate; in particular, those which provide external commentary or review.  A link to the project home page is important (and should be kept), but other independent sources of information should be referenced as well.
I've also tagged this article as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science.  At any rate, welcome to Wikipedia!  --EngineerScotty 17:09, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I think we'd need a good reason to ignore the rule of thumb for use of the definite article in naming articles:
* Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28definite_and_indefinite_articles_at_beginning_of_name%29#Rule_of_thumb
** A simple rule of thumb is, would you capitalize the definite article in running text (see rules, examples)? For example, you would write:
**:The person read The Old Man and the Sea.
**but
**:Two of the nations where English-speaking people live are the United Kingdom and the United States.
**If the definite article would be capitalized in running text, then include the definite article at the beginning of the page name. Otherwise, do not include the definite article at the beginning of the page name.
Official Netherlands government literature pretty consistently uses the lower case "the", so the rule of thumb firmly favors omitting it from the title of the article. It's just a rule of thumb, sure, but it's pretty unambiguous. We write about the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands, and those articles should probably all be named without the definite article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:20, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
