Wow, this is pretty POV.  You're saying there is not one single person involved in monkeywrenching who isn't worried about any injuries the people who become involved in their conduct incur?  What about those loggers who are injured when their saws hit spikes pounded into trees? RickK 06:32 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)

replies: text: There's a difference between an ELF action and monkeywrenching; namely, that they are not neccessarily mutually inclusive of one another. ELF actions are non-violent; that is to say, that ELF actions do not harm living things (besides grass and such, sometimes). Either way, you should watch your toungue. Canaen 05:55, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm aware of the ELF organization.  I haven't seen a correlation being drawn on this monkeywrenching page between their activities and monkeywrenching, so I'm rather confused as to why you're suddenly bringing them into the conversation at this point.  I also fail to see the difference between Hurricane Katrina destroying things (such as people's houses) and ELF destroying things (such as people's houses), albeit ELF operates on a far smaller scale than Katrina.  Just because Elf doesn't physically cut people's throats doesn't mean that it's not harming people -- go back and read your dictionary.  Has Bin Ladden's threats and actions against America prompted any real change?  No?  Then why would members of ELF be deluded enough to believe that their similar terrorist actions are going to prompt any real change?  ELF's actions only make people more aghast at ELF and help to paint all people who desire political changes regarding our ecological issues in a bad light.  That being said, again, I fail to see why ELF's actions are in any way relevant to the historical definition of the term "monkeywrenching" and I wonder why you're bringing them into the conversation.

Talk:Tree pinning

message: When making this page it was not, nor is it, my intent to tell people HOW to "pin" a tree. It was and is my intent only to tell people WHAT "tree pinning" is. This holds true to for billboarding and ecodefense: purely descriptive, nothing more. Desertphile 06:03 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
:What's the difference between tree spiking and tree pinning?
Exactly my question also. This article tells nothing about what exactly "Tree pinning" is, I've just read the Tree spiking article, and it seems to accurately describe what it is. The same cannot be said about this article, it really needs some improvement, so I've added an Expansion template to it. --Hibernian 02:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Ecodefense

message: A blurb on the ethics of Ecodefense might be in order. I dunno if it should or not--- one must avoid appearing to advocate instead of define and describe. Hummm. What to do, what to do.....
Since ecodefense is performed in the defense of all life, it is therefore not violent. This should be mentioned. I mentioned this in the monkeywrenching entry, but it should probably be stressed in ecodefense as well: the former is a subset of the latter, but the former is also independant of the latter. There's a hell of a lot of people engaging in monkeywrenching who are anti-life, anti-environment, and crazy: the CIA performed monkeywrenching in Central and South America. This faucet of monkeywrenching should probably be added to the monkeywrenching page. Hummm. I'll have to give it some thought. Desertphile 06:21 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Those last two paragraphs don't seem up to standard. -04:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This article uses the word "ecodefense" in two ways: one, as the title of a book, and two, as some kind of activity.  It gives several examples of this activity, but doesn't actually define it.  What is ecodefense?
This article is also confusing in combination with the "ecotage" article. That article says "Ecotage is also referred to as ecodefense or monkeywrenching." whereas this article says "Monkeywrenching is a form of ecodefense."  Are these three terms equivalent?  Is any one of them broader in scope than the other two?  Please, somebody resolve this confusion.  Perhaps some merging of articles is called for.

I am curious. In the revision to the micromouse entry that you made on Oct 8th 2004, you state that the A* is one of the more popular search strategies.
It is my understanding that most mice have much simpler algorithms based on a straightforward flooding of the maze in the style of Lee-Moore.
I would be very interested in finding out about any mice that use A*

Talk:Viceroy of India

message: The page has "The term viceroy derives from vice and royal. The Viceroy's wife was called the vicerine."
Is that correct?  I have always thought that viceroy derives from vice and roy (where roy means "king").  Also, is the spelling of the title of his wife "vicereine"?  Does anyone know which is right please?
Songwriter 13:47 13 Jul 2003 (UTC)
----
My dictionary has Vice + roy, and your spelling for the wife's name, so I'll put that info into the article. (of course it also claims that vicereine can also mean a female viceroy: are they guessing, or has there actually been one somewhere?) -- Someone else
----
I have a bit of a problem. I'm about to rewrite the article on the Earl of Halifax but I have his dates of the Viceroyship as being April 1926 to April 1931, these being the dates he arrived and left India. His DNB article clearly describes him as carrying out viceroy-type activities right up until his departure - certainly until January 1931 but that rather eliminates Goschen from proceedings. Is there perhaps quite a big gap between the time when viceroys are named and the time they take up their positions and does this table reflect that? I'll make no changes (except to the Halifax article) until I know what the situation is for fear of making a mess of everything.

Talk:Burlingame Treaty

message: Was just reading in The New Immigration Federalism by Pratheepan Gulasekaram and S. Kartick Ramakrishnan that anti-Chinese sentiment in California was so strong at the time of the treaty that it "galvanized significant backlash in the state, ranging from rioting and lynching, to legislative efforts to curb what many argued were the deleterious effects of Chinese migration on California's economy and society." I believe including a section on this part of American history is important to keeping our long history with xenophobia visible so we don't repeat it. Thoughts? Perhaps a subsection of the "Impact" section? Footnote reference from this quote cites Laws Harsh as Tigers by Lucy Salyer which I've added to my to-read list but not sure when I'll circle back. -kim.  (talk) 09:16, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Marsilius of Padua

message: I believe that it is now generally conceded that John of Jandun did not write part of Defensor pacis. Cary J. Nederman, in an Afterword to a recent edition of Defensor pacis while discussing the 'dual perspective' of Discourse I and Discourse II of this text, said, "Indeed, the thematic and conceptual gulf between the two discourses once seemed so wide that scholars commonly supposed Marsilius's colleague John of Jandun to be the coauthor of the Defensor pacis until Gewirth himself proved in a classic article that the treatise was the work of a single hand." (Marsilius of Padua, Defensor pacis, New York: Columbia University Press, 2001, p 444.) Nederman provides, in this edition, the Afterword to Gewirth's 1956 translation. The 'classic article' referred to by Nederman is given (p. 444, note 1) as: "Alan Gewirth, John of Jandun and the Defensor Pacis, Speculum 23 (1948): 267-272." Pomonomo2003 15:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  John of Jandun 

message: The article claims that Marsilius sought "the independence of the Holy Roman Empire from the Papacy." Cf. Skinner in The Foundations of Modern Political Thought Vol. 1 (Cambridge University Press, 1978): 
"It was obvious that what they [the Northern Italian cities known as the Regnum Italicum] needed most of all was a form of political argument capable of vindicating their liberty against the Church without involving them in ceding it to anyone else [the Holy Roman Empire]." (18)
This comes after a discussion of Dante's political theory and his encomium toHenry of Luxembourg. Skinner sees Marsilius as writing for the independence of the Regnum italicum from both the papacy and the HRE. (18-19) Considering the seriousness and depth of Skinner's argument, I think this is worthy of an edit to this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timjim7 (talk • contribs) 03:51, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: "biological foundation of the mind's eye" - This is almost meaningless. Without a clear and concise definition of the "mind's eye", how can one argue for or against its existence? This article presupposes that this singular "eye" exists, and that it is therefore possible to find this obscure, undefined entity lurking in the complex biological occurrences of the brain. What the term "mind's eye" actually denotes (and connotes) is a conflation of all the phenomena of consciousness that we are aware of (what I would redundantly call "conscious consciousness"). On top of that, "mind's eye" has much older spiritual (and quasireligious) meanings, that are not (even in passing) mentioned here. However, I don't think there is any common definition of the term, and the current one just seems to be some kind of Wikipedia editors' consensus. Fuzzform (talk) 22:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: She has been frequently referenced as such (though, I usually hear it as "the Queen of Sci-Fi") so this reference probably should be rescued from deletion. I just did a google search with "the queen of sci-fi" in quotation marks, and not only does quite a long list of articles from reliable sources pop up (most with both the search term and Weaver's name in the title), but Google also displays an information box of Sigourney Weaver on the side (even though her name was not used in the search) so there is something in Google's algorithm triggering the association.
