Talk:Moral courage

message: So this article is lacking quite a lot as it only has the definition of moral courage. I think it could need some new sections that can add some context to the definition. I was thinking of adding sections involving society, media, literature and sexual ethics. But for right now, I am in the process of looking for possible sources to use for this article. Kcueva (talk) 06:52, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Planning to Add New Sections 

message: So I have added two new sections to this ethics stub, diving into more of a sexual ethics approach to how moral courage can be applied. The parenting approach briefly discusses how moral courage can be applied when raising children who may have gender identity complexes and the workplace allies section demonstrates how the application of moral courage in a work environment affects LGBT employees.
Kcueva (talk) 05:56, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I support the idea of moving the two sections "Parenting approach" and "Workplace allies" to a more fitting article, alternatively an appropriate rework of the sections. This is not aimed to dismiss the quality of the work or importance of the topics. It's due to my spontaneous impression that the information is portrayed from an angle that focuses more on the LGBT and gender viewpoint, rather than moral courage itself. /Sethyntis (talk) 03:30, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  New sections added 

message: :de:Zivilcourage translates exactly into English as civil courage. Moral courage and de:Zivilcourage are InterWiki-linked.
Zivilcourage is closely related to, and IMO is a subset of, moral courage. The difference is that it is only civilian, and not civilian or military. Moral courage may be either. Both moral and civil courage extend beyond courage.
There are relevant additional citations and discussion at Talk:Civil courage.
If the merge is agreed, then civil courage should be turned into a redirect to moral courage.

I have found and posted impeccably WP:RS sources from major newspapers and TV stations, a university, a peer-reviewed academic journal, a book by a respected historian, and the German Federal Police. The issue is whether it is independently notable of moral courage. I don't think it is. Narky Blert (talk) 19:52, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

I can see Howard Cosell because I think he did the news and political programs at one point, in spite of its failure...  But why would Berra and Madden be included here?  If that is the case we would have to include virtually every media participant including celebrities that voice their opinions...

Talk:Spruce beer

message: Recently edits have been made to this article shifting the subject from an attempt at a balanced beer/soda discussion to a de-emphasis of the beer style and emphasis of the soda/non-beer beverages.  The following text was removed: "Spruce has been a traditional flavoring ingredient throughout the upper latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere where it is found, often substituting for ingredients otherwise not available, such as hops."  This was added: "Spruce beer, despite its name, is - like Ginger beer and Root beer - not a type of beer."  I think this is an overly dismissive treatment of spruce as used in traditional beer and ale.  I would just revert, but the edits appear to be made with good intentions so I thought we could discuss here.  Maybe it could be made more clear that the term "spruce beer" has several different meanings that vary by geography and culture?  I know that some places have a tradition of "non-beer" spruce beer, but that shouldn't invalidate the use of spruce in true beers and ales.  Here are some refs regarding spruce used in beer and ale that can be worked into the article:

message: Even if there is a source for this info: "Norway Spruce is used for making spruce beer widely in northern Europe.[8] In Scandinavia it is used to flavor fermented ales in the absence of hops." I'd say that "widely" is nonsense. I have lived in Northern Europe, Scandinavia and Finland all my life and never even heard of spruce beer. And I used to drink a lot of beer, lol. --86.60.222.33 (talk) 21:14, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Heraclides Ponticus

message: Quote:
Speusippus, before his death in 339 BCE, had chosen Xenocrates as his successor but Xenocrates narrowly triumphed in an ensuing election against Heraclides and Menedemus
Who was chosen and who triumphed? If Xenocrates was chosen as successor and also triumphed in the election, the word but seems out of place.
Quote:
A punning on his name, dubbing him Heraclides "Pompicus," suggests he may have been a rather vain and pompous man and the target of much ridicule.
I read somewhere else that the pun was actually "Pompikos" meaning stately and magnificent. This conveys a very different meaning. Which was is correct? Were they both used. On a more general note, is this informatin important enough to include in the entry.

message: The articles says:
He is best remembered for proposing that the earth rotates on its axis, from east to west, once every 24 hours
But the earth rotates west to east (i.e. east sees sunlight first). (This isn't just me, I'm third in a mail chain about this, so I've got two people who support me on this). I can't find the reference but I can't believe HP would have made such an obvious error.

I've found some info about SPL/I, but I'm not sure whether that is the language referenced at the Steelman.

replies: text: mmm. good point, at this distance in time. The history is easy enough, just click on the history link at the top. That should also give you an indication of when it was dealt with at TFD. From memory, it was to do with the name - two opposing groups of editors editwarring both the category and the template, one preferring the word Czechia, the other preferring Czech Republic. In hindsight Czech Republic may have been better, but the majority opinion was for Czechia. Since repeated editing of heavy-use templates is bad for the servers (which at the time were overstrected and frequently failing) it was thought better to pick one and stick with it. The template was changed to a neutral , and Czechia narrowly won out as far as the category was concerned. Note that - as I said - this is from memory, so may not be entirely accurate.

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

thread_title: What is a Homily?

message: Someone should integrate this information from the OED into the article with the appropriate format, etc.:
:Etymology:  < French omelie (12th cent. in Hatzfeld & Darmesteter), modern French homélie, < ecclesiastical Latin homīlia, < Greek ὁμῑλία intercourse, converse, discourse, (eccl.) sermon, homily, < ὅμῑλος crowd, throng, < ὁμοῦ together + λη crowd, band, troop.
First citation: c1386 Chaucer Parson's Tale ⁋1014: "Of Omelies and moralitee and of deuocion."
Interestingly definition a. distinguishes homilies from sermons as being practical rather than intellectual, aimed at "spiritual edification of the hearers, rather than for the development of a doctrine or theme." On the same distinction, there's an 1883 citation from P. Schaff tr. Herzog Encycl. Relig. Knowl. 1611 "In the Western Church the terms ‘sermon’ and ‘homily’ were at first used interchangeably; but in time each came to designate a special kind of discourse. The sermon was a discourse developing a definite theme. The homily pursued the analytical method, and expounded a paragraph or verse of Scripture." JKeck (talk) 01:57, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Sagnac interferometer

message: In its current state this article is incorrect. When a passive ring interferometer is used then a phase shift interference patterns is obtained. When a ring laser interferometer is used the interference pattern that can be obtained is a difference between two frequencies of laserlight, a beat frequency. The current article fails to make that distinction, instead characteristics of both types of interferometer are intermixed.
Correcting this article would result in duplicating information that is already present in the sagnac effect article and/or in the ring laser gyroscope article. Therefore I propose to merge anything useful into the Sagnac effect article, to change the current sagnac interferometer article to a redirect to the Sagnac effect articlel, and to change the links to sagnac interferometer into links to Sagnac effect <BR>

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Yhi

message: 1. Per my understanding, Indigenous Australian beliefs in the Dreaming do not involve "gods" in the Western sense (they aren't invoked/prayed to), but Ancestral Beings who transformed into various things.
2. The article cites what looks like a non-encyclopedic/non-professional source. It is likely based on A. W. Reed's retelling of various Aboriginal stories (see  - however, this retelling is dubious, as A. W. Reed's retellings have quite the touch of his imagination and appear to be rather heavily Westernised. For example, his re-telling of the Yuwalayaay story of "Beereeun the Mirage Maker" adds the character of Biame, who is not present in the original narrative, and changes the ending significantly (e.g. the reason parakeets are green) - see this link. I would be interested to read the stories about Yhi which A.W.
