Talk:Vogel Rok

message: I find the title of this article questionable.  As far as I can find, the ride is never called anything but "Vogel Rok" on the park's literature, including on the English version of their in-park map (which I have in my possession).  I'd like to see a citation that it has an "official English name."  Because even if it were to be rendered in English, this doesn't seem like the right translation.  "Roc Bird" is probably more sensible, particularly since "Roc" and not "Rok" is the usual English spelling of that creature's name.  As it is, the name just seems half-translated and awkward.

message: I'm native Dutch. The Efteling ride has nothing to do with a skirt. It is an alternate spelling Efteling selected for the mythical bird Roc, as explained on the Wiki about the Efteling "Eftelpedia": https://www.eftepedia.nl/lemma/Vogel_Rok
The Dutch Wikipedia entry of the Roc bird even has a picture of the Vogel Rok ride exterior which clearly shows the Roc bird.

Talk:Defeater

message: This article gets the topic completely wrong. Defeaters act on justifications. Say that an agent S takes some piece of evidence, E1, as being a justification for a proposition P. Then an undercutting defeater is a piece of evidence, E2, that undermines the justification relation between E1 and P1, so that E1+E2 does not justify P. An opposing defeater is a piece of evidence, E3, that S takes as a justification for not-P, so that E1+E3 justifies P and not-P (ie, E1+E3 justifies an incoherence, although (E1+E2)+E3 does not).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.89.132 (talk) 15:42, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Talk:Egocentric predicament

message: The proposal that Johnson's retort is an "informal fallacy" is cute, but basically original research in the sense that "appeal to the stone" is not contained in the most commonly cited lists of informal fallacies. The somewhat fallacious nature of the argument can be discussed according to some of the sources in this article, but to identify it wholly as a fallacy is altogether unwarranted. jps (talk) 14:57, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't Merge I understand the concern with "Appeal to Stone" being original research since other the lists of fallacies I found through a cursory search that mention it seem to cite here. That being said I do not think a merger is appropriate since the two articles are different. Egocentric predicament seems to be related the limits of an individual to conceive of concepts due to their preconceptions. This predicaments often leads its suffers to make an appeal to Stone but they are not the same thing. Appeal to Stone refer to the common practice in argument to simply claim another parties claim to false without addressing it in any way regardless of the claims merit.

text: No merge: I agree with Elithanathile, these are distinct and separate articles. ~BappleBusiness[talk] 01:59, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

text: don't merge: I agree with Elithanathile and BappleBusiness. The anecdote does not demonstrate Johnson resorting to a fallacious argument so much as it demonstrates him naming a fallacious argument. Also, Appeal to the Stone is a useful fallacy to know these days, as it's characteristic of much contemporary "post-truth" discourse. Verbal terminology is not static: it changes and expands with the language. If I'm reading jps's argument correctly, it's regarding informal fallacies as a potentially fixed set, like the periodic table of elements, and disqualifying a term on the basis of its apparent provenance. I believe the key issues here, though, are the term's usefulness and relevance in regard to contemporary habits of debate, and that Appeal to the Stone should remain among the list of informal fallacies.

The 4,800-ton Bristol class turbine protected cruisers, 5,250-tonWeymouth class turbine protected cruisers, and the two variations of the 5,400-ton light cruiser design (Chatham and Birmingham type/class) along with the outlier Birkenhead type/class. The last three are normally considered of the same larger class, but the earlier two classes were very distinct from the later models. They are not universally considered to be 'Towns' except as far as their naming convention is concerned.
