Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Ombudsman

message: I'm considering moving this discussion to form an article content dispute, as per McClellon. Could I have some views on this? JFW | T@lk 15:15, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Ombudsman has no business using the name "Ombudsman" when he has no official role. I thought at first he was the wikipedia ombudsman until I read the anti-psychiatry nonsense that he was spewing. It's pretty low of him to attempt to gain credibility by using an official sounding name. Wikipedia officials should force him to change his name.--24.55.228.56 02:55, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

text: Oh, really?  Why are you not assuming good faith?  Why are you assuming that anyone who finds the anti-psychiatry crusaders on Wikipedia tiresome and prone to generating nonsense must him-or-herself be a psychiatrist?  It's not like the anti-psychiatry rabblerousers are any great shakes you know -- hardly any of them have any argument to make, it seems, besides "the idea of mental illness must be entirely an invention of the drug industry, since they stand to profit financially" (an ad hominem circumstantial) and "if anyone shows the least skepticism of anything I or my fellow anti-psychiatrists cook up, it means they're a psychiatrist themselves" (an ah hominem circumstantial that's not even based on facts in evidence.) -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:25, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

"The only person currently allowed to draw on the True Power is Moridin." In Knife of Dreams Nynaeve says "There's something wrong with your eyes". Next Rand thinks about the black flecks being gone - black flecks being an symptom for using the True Power as mentioned and explained somewhere in 7 to 9 book, either by Moridin or some other Forsaken seeing him. This could also explain why channeling is more and more exhausting for Rand. As for the how of it, the answer imho lies in either the first duel with Ishmael, or with Rand's wound.

message: Could it be possible that decreased numbers of female channelers could be because of a disturbed balance in the Wheel (gentling of males with the spark. Min said in The Crown of Swords: There must be balance in the pattern.

replies: text: The Wheel of Time is about balancing, much like Ying and Yang. I think that was Robert Jordan's inspiration but I can't find any mention of it. The Wheel of Time balances forces, which is specifically used in the last book, the Memory of Light, when Rand's power as a tarvaren grows as the Dark One's touch on the world gets stronger. If there is an imbalance of saidar and saidin, the Wheel of Time will lessen the power of the stronger to correct the balance or raise the power of the weaker, if there is an imbalance of female channelers to male channelers the Wheel will either lower female channelers' numbers or raise the number of male channelers. What Jordan did was raise the overall power of male channelers and lowered the strength and number of female channelers. So, sorry to say it JaredT, but the Wheel of Time is affected by the number of channelers and their strength.  Drcrazy102 (talk) 00:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Michael Harrington

message: On the ambiguity page it is requested that comments about Michael Harrington are made here, so this is where I make an observation. But first of all I would like to explain my interest. I am an European who is reading up on poverty and wellfare in the United States of America. The Other America by Michael Harrington was recommended to me. So I looked up Michael Harrington in Wikipedia. The lead in his article states:
Edward Michael Harrington Jr. (February 24, 1928 – July 31, 1989) was an American democratic socialist, writer, author of The Other America, political activist, political theorist, professor of political science, radio commentator and founding member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
Whereas the ambiguity page states:
Michael Harrington was an American socialist leader.
Is this doing Harrington justice? I feel that at least political theorist should be added. Maybe something like this: Michael Harrington was an American writer and broadcaster as well as a political activist and theorist.

Talk:Venus in fiction

message: Like many similar topics, this article IMHO suffers from Western/Englih bias. I think we do a very good job summarizing English sources, which however mostly focus on UK/US, with a small not towards Western Europe (i.e. the traditional Western Canon bias). We tried to find some coverage from other parts of the world, and we do mention one Polish, maybe two Russian and two Japanese (anime) works. But I am reasonably sure there is more from other European countries, Western and Eastern, not too mention other parts of the world (not just Japan, there is Chinese, African, Korean sf, etc.). Alas, if sources exist for such topics, they are not in English. I'll note I looked into the Polish sources for Polish coverage of this, and there's next to nothing outside what I wrote about Lem. If there is any more coverage of his work, or that of other writers, I couldn't find it, so if there was some Polish sf with Venusian theme, it clearly wasn't impactful even in Poland. Again, that may not be true for some other countries, but if there was some impactful, let's say, Korean sf about Venus, it didn't make a splash in English yet. Oh well.

message: Sentence from article: 
"It stands out from the Sycorax group by its inclination, which is only 56.63°, whereas all of the Sycorax group moons are retrograde, with inclinations in the 140-170° range. "
So does Margaret have a retrograde orbit or not? Rmhermen 19:25, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it does not. Their are two ways of indicating a retrograde orbit. A retrograde moon inclined by 10°, in a 6-hour orbit, could be said to have the orbital parameters of 10° and −6 h (in which case no inclination ever exceeds 90°), or of 170° and +6 h (in which case no period is ever negative). It's more common to keep the period positive and let the inclination vary between 90°-180°. You see the same thing with Uranus' inclination vs. rotation. However, Venus is more commonly given a negative rotational period, both because it's so close to zero anyway, and because this gives it an inclination close to its near-twin Earth's. I suppose if we could ever reconstruct whether the impact that walloped Venus early on flipped it over or just reversed its rotation, we'd see a preference for one or the other. kwami 22:53, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
