thread_title:  Needs an update 

message: I'm going to revert the changes made by 64.236.221.6.  They appear to be original research - the referenced article isn't attempting to discredit Crick's ideas.  Also, the claim that people do not naturally tend to accept the Astonishing Hypothesis (regardless of the truth of this claim) does not offer evidence against Crick's claim - in fact, it's why it's called the Astonishing Hypothesis.

message: Paper tablets for young school children in some parts of Europe are commonly printed with various graphing grids.  Do we have information on how common this is and is there academic research that promotes it?  (In the U.S.A. graph paper is reserved for specialized use, such as a specific charting application or some mathematical purpose.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Homebuilding (talk • contribs) 13:51, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: This is extremely common in Russia. Basically, all school paper is ruled: for text writing in language arts classes with horizontal ruling only, for everything else with quad grid - two squares per centimeter. The lines are faint, so they do not obstruct writing or drawing. So, it is not for specialized use, quite the opposite. Also, usage of loose paper in Russian schools is not common, so the sheets are bound into notebooks. 12- or 18-page notebooks are common for daily class- and homework. They are collected for grading, and then given back to students. Mikus (talk) 23:07, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I have corrected the sentence to read, "The Disappearance shows his thinking on the subject is very complex."

Talk:Baths of Caracalla

message: For example, they were only 33m long?  Is that meters?  It's certainly not miles.  In comparison, the enclosing walls of the Baths of Trajan were 1,000 meters or more long (Ramages, pg194)
Also, according to the Encyclopædia Britannica, they were started in 206 C.E. and completed in 216 C.E.  What's with the 212-216 C.E.?  Refer to http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9020208.  Everything I have seen online says the completion date is 216 C.E.  Any input?

replies: text: The problem with the dates is that various sources give different dates. This is due to the exact dates not being known any more and archaeology not always being an exact science; see the post above. Apart from that, I'd say be bold - you have a source, and there are more sources in the previous post, so edit as you see fit. We could possibly create a section for the construction dates to relate the arguments for the various dates. Shinobu 08:28, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Geography of American Samoa

message: This looks like it is basically just a word for word copy from cia factbook article on American Samoa.
Even if the CIA factbook is in the public domain is this the best way to use it?  (Is it in the public domain?)
Wouldn't it be better to include only new material, not on the CIA's article?  And if an article is going to quote so extensively from another source, shouldn't that article cite the source?
I think copying text like this has a big weakness.  If the original source updates their material, then the wikipedia article is out of synch, and may no longer be correct.  It seems like a maintenance nightmare.

Talk:Science and technology in the Soviet Union

message: I've left a comment over at Talk:Suppressed research in the Soviet Union#One-sided take on Soviet science. Basically, I think that between these two articles, the history of Soviet science is not covered very well, and in kind of a one-sided way. This article could really be expanded more and better integrated with the other article, with a better discussion of the achievements of Soviet science and technology as a whole, and on the history of official science policy. A section on repression of science is definitely called for as well, though this should basically be a summary with a link to the other article. 
BTW, I think Science and technology in the German Democratic Republic would make a very interesting article as well. There's an excellent academic book on the topic Red Prometheus: Engineering and Dictatorship in East Germany that would be a good source for much of the article. 
If there are enough people willing to jump in on the task of building either article, I'll certainly be willing to help. Peter G Werner (talk) 01:45, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Need for expansion of this article 

message: The topic is too broadly defined. It needs splitting into manageable individual articles covering Soviet pure and applied research, pure science, technology in general, and perhaps nuclear technology. No proper assessment of a departure point for this area of writing is complete without referencing the work of Antony Sutton. Sutton demonstrated beyond any doubt that the Soviets, from the NEP onward, acquired 99% of their technology from the USA, Germany and the UK.Pzzp (talk) 01:52, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Ludwig Wittgenstein can be seen as anti-foundationalist, particularly in his Philosophical Investigations. I don't want to push an interpretation by writing anything, but it may be worthwhile look for some people already sying this. I've added this article to my watchlist, and I will come back to it when I have time, to flesh out why Nietzsche is an anti-foundationalist and maybe add stuff on Wittgenstein.

message: FTA: "Anti-foundationalists use logical or historical or genealogical attacks on foundational concepts (see especially Nietzsche and Foucault), often coupled with alternative methods for justifying and forwarding intellectual inquiry, such as the pragmatic subordination of knowledge to practical action".
OK, this is right up there with the "Ministry of Truth". Clearly this is some clever take on something, because what the sentence does is to construct a "foundation of anti-foundationalism". Instead of actually letting an anti-foundationalist speak in something like comprehensible English, we have a dull laundry list of philosophical clichés. 173.239.78.54 (talk) 01:20, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
