thread_title:  EFEO 

message: The treatment of Hawkes's translations here should be cleaned up since he's very clear that he never  substantially rewrote what were mostly student projects from 1948 to 1951. Everything after his 1955 "On the Problem of Date and Authorship in Ch'u Tz'u" simply consisted of reprints with only the most egregious mistakes emended. Even "in preparing [a] completely new edition... [he] altered the translations as little as possible, not so much because [he was] confident that they are right, as from a feeling that they were made by a young man... whose work [he was] not entitled to deface". Our bibliography and discussion should reflect that. — LlywelynII 21:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:The Beast (Revelation)

message: I've removed part of the first sentence of the second paragraph, and a source:
The beast from the earth is generally identified with the Roman Imperial cult or the Jewish religious system of the first century that conspired with the Roman state to suppress and persecute the early churchRevelation in Context By Irene Belyeu, p.154-157
That part of the sentence was directly copied from a website which was earlier removed as a bad reference: the-beast-in-biblical-eschatology---part-ii, and the newer provided reference seems dubious as well.  I'm not able to tell if the second source (which seems authoritative) is good enough to prove that preterists commonly believe that 'the beast from earth' represents the institution of Judaism.  If that *is* a common belief among preterists, then it probably belongs in Preterism as well.

thread_title:  I Agree 

message: I propose that this article be merged with Thirteen Classics to form an article called "Confucian classics", giving a narrative with sections "Five Classics", "Thirteen Classics" and "Four Books".

replies: text: The phrase "Four Books and Five Classics" is very recognizable within Chinese literature, and it is a well-known canon.

replies: text: The Four Books and Five Classics are indeed well-known canons, as is the Thirteen Classics, which were an expansion from the Five Classics and from which the Four Books were selected.  I'm saying that they're aspects of the same topic, and that to cover that topic properly one would want to discuss the evolution of this canon from the Six Classics, then the Five Classics, gradually expanded through to the Kaicheng Stone Classics and the Thirteen Classics, followed by Zhu Xi's selection of the Four Books.  As I said above, Chinese classics is broader, also including non-Confucian works.  Kanguole 15:05, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  What does this mean? 

message: The section ("Origin and development of the idea") that reads too much like a personal essay is, probably, in fact a personal essay. It was created in bulk by  whose userpage declares him "Steven C Ehrmann works at the TLT Group in Washington DC." 
Ehrmann's reminicences about his work at Educom are interesting, and if he wanted to publish them on his personal blog, I would have no problem pointing our readers there with an EL. Unfortunately, they are not accurate in some parts that can be checked. For example, he states "Educom is now Educause," but according to Educause history, "EDUCAUSE was formed in 1998 through a merger between CAUSE and Educom." Ehrmann states (in Wikipedia's voice) that he (Ehrmann) was the leader of VVS but writing in Telematics for Writing and Training he says that Paul Morris of Tufts University led VVS and that it was the VVS group that who coined the term "worldware."
I propose to trim this section to elements that have been reported in work whose original publisher was not Wikipedia. HouseOfChange (talk) 18:15, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

"the company is aiming to provide more relevant results by incorporating technology called "semantic search,"

One first step to take is to add in the Wall Street Journal reference.

thread_title: paywall

message: In what specific sense is Bing a semantic search? It appears to be a fairly popular model of syntactic search, plus features in limited, selected areas that incorporate some meaning, in much the same way that Google does. I would like to note those features on its entry. ...In general, I think there's value in distinguishing general-purpose search sites like Google and Bing from sites that focus on a specific domain (e.g. Swoogle), and also distinguishing the latter from sites that are effectively front-ends to a database in which the semantics are static (I think GoPubMed is basically this, although I could be mistaken). Thoughts? (Should I produce some candidate text?) PaulBrinkley (talk) 23:12, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: How is Bing semantic?

message: This entry needs a complete rewrite, or perhaps it should simply be deleted. The definition of "semantic search" relies on a unreliable source, and indeed the term is pretty fuzzy. Beyond that, the opening section of the entry is run-on of a few references without a coherent summary of the definition and aspects of the term. The remaining sections are even worse. It's not clear why disambiguation should be a top-level section. And the lists in the next two sections are arbitrary and not particularly informative.
This entry should either be completely rewritten or deleted. I have nominated it for deletion. Dtunkelang (talk) 04:50, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
