Talk:Tachistoscope

message: I'm undoing the edits renaming the tachistoscope as "tachistoscop."  As far as I can tell, the device is never currently referred to as a "tachistoscop" in English, and it's understood that the information about its first naming describes the coining of the general word (Greek takhistos + scope) rather than its exact English orthography.

Talk:Aeon (Thelema)

message: Citing Liber AL 3:34, the article states that Liber AL states that Hrumachis will replace Ra Hoor Khuit at the end of the Aeon of Horus. This is a very bad misinterpretation of the text, which reads "...until the fall of the Great Equinox; when Hrumachis shall arise and the double-wanded one assume my throne and place." This means that Ra Hoor Khuit shall leave the seat in the east he assumed at the Equinox of the Gods, and 'the double-wanded one' shall take it. Hrumachis is a Hellenized spelling of the name of the Egyptian god Hor Em Akhet, which means 'Horus of the Horizons' and is a syncretization of Horus and Ra, see Horus. As it is written, this article suggests that Horus replaces Horus at the end of the Aeon.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.111.192.138 (talk) 21:12, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

message: The section for differing views had no content/sources for the statement "Not all Thelemites believe in a clear succession of Aeons." I added to the quotation describing Crowley's usage, and the section was later renamed to Crowley's views. It would be appreciated if someone had sources to add a section for a diversity of views.
As this section (Crowley's views) stands now it might make more sense at the top in a section delineating the construct of Aeons, perhaps how it parallels Ages of man, but we would need sources beyond Crowley.   ~ Joga Luce(t)(c) 20:29, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Pyramid Building Society

message: In these days of bank failures, I'm interested in knowing: What money did deposit holders get back after the collapse?  As the Victorian Government was $900M out of pocket, I assume that they got something, but what was it? cojoco (talk) 03:28, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While looking for sources for this very poorly referenced page I found Final cheque in the mail for Pyramid depositors from 15/03/2005 which says "The 18,000 depositors in the Pyramid Building Society had $1.21 billion invested and received $614 million, a return of about 51 cents in the dollar." --220 of Borg 02:43, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  What did the depositors get back? 

message: Not sure if this is significant enough to include, but Pyramid became legendary in Victoria and the rest of Australia, and subsequently many dodgy financial firms inspired by Pyramid began to appear in TV, films, and literature. One of the cheekier ones is Obelisk, an very clear Pyramid analogue in the second Murray Whelan novel, The Brush-Off, by Shane Maloney. Obelisk is a shaky building society offering unusually high interest that collapses in the closing chapters of the novel (owing in part to a fictional scandal involving Obelisk funds being invested in art collections that turned out to be forgeries). There were lots of other examples - TV sketch comedy had a field day, with Fast Forward in particular running a lot of jokes about it.
Also, there isn't much in here about the consequences for the ALP, which were seen at the time as deeply involved in Pyramid. When it went down, a lot of people held the state ALP responsible, and it was a major factor in the Liberal party, headed by Jeff Kennett, being swept into power a few years later. 49.193.215.141 (talk) 12:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Media representations and consequences for ALP 

message: I'm not sure this paragraph ties into the rest of the article well.
Farrow's continuing mismanagement of money is newsworthy/relevant, but is it really related to Pyramid?
I would be more convinced if the paragraph explored how Farrow continued to hold a director's licence if he continued to be financially shaky. This would then tie in to the previous story. 194.223.4.117 (talk) 02:25, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright of Li Hongzhi’s teachings 

message: This is not a good article. 'Influences' contains too many vague quotes from Li which explain nothing. The article seems to quote David Ownby an awful lot. He may have useful insight, but it comes across as being used more like propaganda here. It’s very had to see what some of the quotations tell you about influences; it all just reads more like spruiking the religion or refuting CCP propaganda. E.g. what does…
He [Stephen Chan] concludes that Falun Gong is banned not because of the doctrines, but simply because Falun Gong is outside of the communist apparatus.

Talk:Inotrope

message: I killed the link between "pressors" and "vasoconstrictors" because it will be misleading to novices.
Most 'pressors' (drugs which increase the blood pressure) act via multiple mechanisms, including improving cardiac contractility and vasoconstriction.  Some (dopamine, epinephrine) have dose-dependent effects.  
Many vasoconstrictors are poor ionotropes (e.g. PE, which becomes really clear when you have someone on a non-selective beta-blocker).
