Talk:Kali Yuga

message: The "In Shaivism" section doesn't seem neutral at all. It uses the POV of one Babaji as its only source to represent all of Shaivism. If neutral sourcing can't be found, perhaps the section should be deleted. Jroberson108 (talk) 23:10, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The POV section has been deleted. If there are any beliefs about Kali Yuga in Shaivism as a whole that differ from the rest of Hinduism, discuss on the talk page. Jroberson108 (talk) 16:00, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

message: Doesn’t Aryabhata put dates for his work based on an earlier calendar? This article suggests that Aryabhata calculated the date. When the Wiki page Aryabhata say it is the other way around.
He does not seem to make calculations of the date of the commencement of the Yuga. I think Aryabhata was using a calendar system which was already established by his time. ChandlerMinh (talk) 16:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Hi - I noticed you reverted some of my edits on the Kali Yuga article citing the MOS:LEAD policy. I understand the lead section is what most people will read and felt including background information on the other yuga cycles would provide some good context on where Kali Yuga sits within the cycle Starlights99 (talk) 19:52, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct, this edit was reverted with an edit summary of "" I understand your intentions. This article doesn't cover a kalpa or manvantara. The lead already briefly explains when this yuga occurs in the Yuga Cycle and the yugas that immediately precede and follow. The info you added is already on the more appropriate Yuga Cycle article.

Talk:Transmeta Efficeon

message: Question: Saying the Pentagon 'recently' purchased notebook computers with the chip is a bad way to write the fact. When did they purchase it? Give a date and the reader can deduce if it is recent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ee79 (talk • contribs) 
Answer: If the processor was first shipped in 2003, 'recently' means recently even now (2005). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.234.235.83 (talk • contribs) 
Objections:
# The article didn't mention 2003; it doesn't even now.
# Two years (from 2003 to 2005) for IC industry, including CPU/RAM/etc, is too huge amount of time to ignore it: chips what cost a fortune yesterday, tomorrow will be considered hopelessly outdated and dead-end branch, incompatible with present and not-too-distant-future technologies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.234.235.83 (talk • contribs)

thread_title:  Oligarch 

message: Hi, y'all!! This article contains too few references for the importance of this topic:
* especially for England, as magnates (e.g., Percies, Nevilles, the cadet branches of the Plantagenet dynasty (York & Lancaster) & the Lord Warden of the Marches#For England) were reponsible for much of the trouble in Northern England during the Middle Ages (e.g. Anglo-Scottish Wars, Wars of the Roses). The single reference for England is unverifable, as it links to a Google book page with no preview.
* There is a lone sentence to a Gaelic magnate within the England section which is missing a citation. If this refers to Ireland or Scotland, it should placed in the appropriate section.
* There should be a new section to cover the Scottish magnates (e.g., Douglases, Argylls, & the Lord Warden of the Marches#For Scotland).
* I can't comment on magnates in Ireland; the Douglases were involved in the Plantation of Ulster & probably there were some in The Pale under the Anglo-Normans & the other Plantations of Ireland.
* According to the description given in the lead, the Bishop of Durham and his County Palatine should also be included.

thread_title:  More citations needed; especially for England 

message: In the case of England, Sweden and Hungary the magnate Latin word was used exactly due to the official status of Latin language in that countries in the past. And also the magnate word was adopted to their native languages later.  Otherwise, we can list all countries and all languages of planet Earth, because all countries had some society and top elite class which ruled that nations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Csataelőkészítő (talk • contribs) 12:52, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Ichkeria

message: 1. It's interesting that I am being accused of pro-Islamic propaganda. I do pride myself on being a straight shooter, and if that means siding with Muslims or against Muslims, so be it. People who read only a small part of my writing and disagree with it, sometimes accuse me of bias. Yet, you'll find that I take different stands on different issues, regardless of the people's race, religion or ethnicity. In my articles, available at http://www.globalpolitician.com, you'll find that I never take a stand for or against anyone on consistent basis and judge all by the actions they've taken in the current situation.
: That's very good that you pride yourself. On the other hand, here you appear as someone who mostly tries to promote a web site by adding links to every political article and claiming credits. Do you see any other wiki articles where people add "this paragraph was written by Joe Schmoe from www.example.com"? That's called link spamming. Even in this discussion you don't forget to insert a link to your web site.
: Any discussion should be about merits of the writing, and about provable facts. The writing which starts as Brought to their knees after years of war, Chechens have temporarily accepted Russian rule sounds like loaded (language) and propaganda to me. You are NOT accused of anything else, but producing a piece which looks like point-of-view propaganda. It's possible that all your other writing is perfectly balanced, but this specific piece looks like propaganda. Nothing more, nothing less.
2. I've spent a significant amount of time in Chechnya. Anyone who thinks that Chechens accepted being part of Russia out of their sudden love for Russians is simply ignorant of what's going on there. Chechens hate Russians. Russians may or may not deserve their hate, but Chechens truly hate them. If they could win independence, they would continue to fight. And trust me, in time, they will rise again.
: I've been to Vatican many times. That does not make me an expert in Pope affairs. Please produce poll results where N% of Chechens say they hate Russians. That would be a great addition to any Chechnya-related article. On the other hand, if you find any article where it says "Chechens accepted being part of Russia out of their sudden love for Russians", please let me know. I would immediately correct it as a false statement. 
: Please keep in mind that this talk page is NOT a political forum. It's not about your or mine political views. It's a discussion on the merits of specific writing in this online encyclodedia. Thank you.

thread_title:  POWs, forced laborers, hired workers and Jews 

message: Quotations are presented from "The Hitler Book: The Secret Report by His Two Closest Aides". John Toland is listed as the author which is false. The book is an edited version of a Soviet report prepared after the war by the NKVD based on the prison interrogations of Heinz Linge and Otto Guensche. Calling them the authors is equally questionable in the circumstances. 
The story about those who built werewolf being killed has, as far as I know, no other sources and was not repeated/confirmed by Guensche or Linge after they were released by the Soviet Union. Its a questionable story. 
At the very least, the authorship of the source should be clarified. I would suggest attributing it to Soviet Union. 70.234.240.186 (talk) 07:36, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

I did my Ph.D thesis on Cato the Younger (Oxford and UCD) last year and there are alot of misconceptions, etc., but the general ideas in the above article are correct (although I have been changing a little, adding to the bibliography, etc). I've also given a few papers on Cato at various conferences in the UK, am doing further research on how Imperial authors viewed the figures of the late Republic,  and have been approached to write a history of the late Republic - so watch this space.

Talk:Decisional Diffie–Hellman assumption

message: I find the following useful:
Decisional Diffie-Hellman (DDH) assumption: Given primes p,q such that q divides p-1. Let g be a generator of $\mathbb{Z}_p^*$ of order q. Then for sufficiently large values of p,q the tuple (g,g^a,g^b,b^ab) is computationally indistinguishable from (g,g^a,g^b,b^c) where a,b,c \in_R [0,q-1].--Bah23 15:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The article mentioned "The cyclic group of order (p-1)(q-1)", where p and q are safe primes.
I corrected this to "The cyclic group of order (p-1)(q-1)/2 of quadratic residues modulo pq".
The whole section was 
added in a single edit from 2007 by User:Blokhead and there are no references, so it is possible that there are other mistakes. I am not qualified to check the accuracy of this section. --Rowdyparks and sallyport (talk) 09:29, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good observation. It looks like the text was copied from page 2 of Boneh's paper, which clearly is wrong, since the multiplicative group modulo pq doesn't even contain a cyclic subgroup of order (p-1)(q-1). The group of quadratic residues has order (p-1)(q-1)/4 since any element has to be a quadratic residue modulo p and modulo q. Furthermore, one would also have to assume that the factorization of the modulus is unknown and hence also the group order. Thus I think it makes sense to remove the claim unless we can find reference that more clearly defines the assumption than Boneh's paper. 2A02:1205:C6BB:6880:390A:2016:3538:E4FF (talk) 14:30, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this focus on the more common use of "Faerie/Fairy Faith", such as the folk traditions in "The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries" by Evans-Wentz, and not place undue weight on one Wiccan tradition that uses the name?  See also Faery Wicca:
Though Faery Wicca may draw inspiration from some of the customs practiced among the ancient and modern Celts, it shares more with other modern Wiccan traditions than with the "Fairy Faith" as it is known in traditional Gaelic culture. - I think a lot of this article is more suited for that page.
