Talk:History of the Russian Federation/Archive 1

message: Post-Communist Russia is a very contentious topic, especially among economists, sociologists, and political scientists in both Russia and the West. The most heated debates center on the reform strategies, and are often argued with great personal bitterness. However, it can't seem to arouse much interest on Wikipedia; it seems that most are just interested in rehashing the atrocities on the Stalin era.
I hope that this statement will help arouse that interest. I suggest that some read the article (just note, however, that my proofreading is nowhere near finished!). Moreover, they should take a look at the very though provoking links that I've added, which cover almost every spectrum of the debate. 172
I suggest to move the page to a more accurate title, kind of "History of post-Soviet Russia". ("communist" is kind of slangish here IMO) Mikkalai 17:37, 18 Feb 2004 (UTC)

It was created in 2004 with the release of L.O.V.E (Terri Walker album) and a track of that name, with the statement: Whoopsie daisy is understood to be an expression of surprise at an unexpected but relatively harmless mishap.

message: Snort is combined into the "Sourcefire Intrusion Sensor" by Sourcefile.  There's no evidence that it is not done as an entirely proprietary aggregate distribution.  If there's no proof that something is distributed as free software we usually note that its proprietary software.  Since Snort is free software, the availability of a proprietary version would make it dual-licensed.
Sourcefire openly admits they combine proprietary add-ons to Snort in these sensors, but it's not clear they use the GPL to distribute Snort with the device that is sold to customers.  They can use a proprietary license at their option since they are the presumed copyright holders. --69.165.73.238 14:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Liberty (disambiguation)

message: True or false: this article belongs at Liberty (disambiguation) with Liberty being a re-direct to Freedom. 66.245.125.9 23:11, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: First, both phrases are partial title matches that are really little more than highly specialized subtopics of the primary topic liberty. Even if there were legitimate basis to include on the disambiguation page, the descriptions that go along with the entries should neutrally reflect the linked articles and not forward one POV in what appears to be contentious. For the record, I have no horse in this race and could not care less about any of the philosophical positions. older ≠ wiser 21:09, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a disambiguation page, its purpose is to list articles that have the same or similar name. It's not an article in and of itself, and is not the place to discuss the finer points of libertarian ideology. ... discospinster talk 21:19, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Visigothic Code

message: Note to next editor(s): Following Mr. Schamp (comment below of Aug. 2, 2004) we have:
"Among all the Teutonic nations the Visi-Goths were the first who had written laws. (Isidorus Hispalensis, 'Chron. ad annum Aer. Hisp. 504, A.D. 466'). A collection of them was made by their king Euric (A.D. 466-484), which is written in Latin and has the title of 'Lex Visigothorum.' Its present form dates from King Egica, whose new code was translated into the Gothic language under King Receswind. It contains many traces of the Roman law, and is the only early Teutonic law which may be considered as a code in the modern signification of the word. The Lex Visigothorum must not be confounded with the Breviarium Alarici (Alaric II., in 506), or the Code for the Romans, who were subjects of the Visi-Goths, and continued to live under their own laws until they were abolished by the kings Chindaswind and Receswind, who declared the revised Lex Visigothorum obligatory on all the inhabitants of the kingdom of the Visi-Goths."

replies: text: Report what the sources say, which may well be that the meaning is unclear. Jonathunder (talk) 20:11, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

text: This issue is in the rune cluster in the fourth word on line four on the front of the artifact.  It contains the "j" rune, the only place that rune is used on the stone.  Runes are alphabets, and there is no standard one.  Runic alphabets change over time and geography.  When any runic inscription is translated, the runes have to be first transliterated into the sounds of the Latin alphabet.  In 1906 Noreen transliterated this rune into the Scandinavian "j" which has the sound of the y in "yah" in English.  Holand followed suit.  This transliterated the word into "skyar" skerries.  Henkrik Williams transliterated the rune as an "l" following the runic alphabets drawn in the Larsson brothers's letters, 1883 and 1885.  This transliterates the word into "skelar" shelters.
