replies: text: As it pertains to the Flyers, I don't think the coach is the one determining who is the captain/alternate captains. He probably has a say, but in recent Flyers history (going back to at least 2000) the GM seems to be the one who makes the decision. The Flyers named him an associate captain and since that doesn't seem to differ much, if at all, from an alternate captain it links to that section of the Captain article. I don't see the harm of having one exception to the rule here. --Parkfly3 (talk) 01:45, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Elagabalus (deity)

message: There is confusion of names here.  The stone needs to be Elagabal and the emperor Elagabalus.
The Semitic El was originally a Sun-god anyway, for it is the origin of the Greek Sun-god HElios or Elios. 
Yahweh was the equivalent Semitic Moon deity, to add duality, after the Egyptian Yah for Moon.
Thus the Elagabal was most certainly a Sun-god, and the shape does indeed suggest 'Sun Mountain'.

thread_title:  El and Sol 

message: "In the East, there were many solar deities, including the Greek Helios, who was largely displaced by Apollo. Some of these used the title 'Sol Invictus' (the unconquered sun). "  True enough about solar deities. But the use of "some' in these cases always raises doubts. Latin was not used much in the east. Is anything being quoted here? ... or is this just hogwash? --Wetman

thread_title:  The east 

message: ::: This article is shamolic in regards to recent scholarship. Elagabalus was not known by this name during his lifetime, he was Marcus Aurelius Antoninus as Emperor, and Varius Avitus Bassianus in his role as Priest-Lord of Emesa. Elagabal was NOT identified with Sol Indiges, any of the ancient sources can attest to this, and certainly not during the Republican era where no openly foreign deity would have been placed inside the pomerium. Please read any of Hijmans work on the Roman sun cult and see the discussion on wikipedia about Sol Invictus.

----
I added some stuff.  Tell me if you think it is salvageable.
--Handel 04:50, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the reason that some people disagree with this article is because of the choice of terminology combined with the actual list of places. It doesn't take much knowledge of American cities to know that all of the "ghettos" on this list are predominantly African American communities. This list obscures the fact that most people would not consider a place like Harlem to be much of a ghetto anymore considering that rents in the area are comparable to other areas in Manhattan that people would not call a "ghetto," and the fact that the area has undergone some considerable economic development in recent years. It also obscures the fact that Newark is actually a very diverse city, and its Ironbound district is a rapidly gentrifying Portuguese neighborhood that is quickly becoming a popular location for Manhattan expats. This list is steeped in racism (as the American usage of ghetto is a very loaded term) and a misunderstanding of how cities (and neighborhoods) frequently undergo change.

Talk:Consistent histories

message: I find the use of OR confusing in this article. Ordinarily a state of affairs that satisfies a AND b also satisfies a OR b. But this article begins by suggesting that a OR b excludes a AND b. (It asserts that a OR b is an example of an inhomogeneous history even though a OR b does not usually exclude a AND b, and so under the usual interpretation, a OR b could still be a homogeneous history.)
That's fine — in that case, OR is just a synonym for XOR, and that might even make sense since the premise seems to be that a and b are not mutually consistent, and so the probability of a AND b is zero. 
But then later, the article calculates the probability of a OR b as the sum of the probability of a and the probability of b minus the probability of a AND b! That's consistent with the usual definition of OR. But either the probability of a AND b is always zero, in which case it is unnecessary to mention here, or it may be nonzero, in which case the beginning of the article defines OR as XOR, but this later part defines it as OR. The article seems incoherent either way. 100.11.144.52 (talk) 05:43, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incoherent use of logical OR? 

message: Since no one addressed the other editor's comment from four years ago, I'll post as well. How is it that H_i \lor H_j is necessarily incoherent if H_i and H_j are coherent ("Histories" section)? What if i = j? What if H_i and H_j are "adjacent subhistories" (my term) of some coherent history H_x? This needs clarification.
