Talk:Moi-même-Moitié

message: I think we need to put the equivilant of the yen to dollars here
*Why? --Berserk798 02:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: yen

message: The article states that Moi dix Mois sports EGL and EGA clothing, and I would sharply disagree with that. In the very earliest days Mana sported an EGL look, and he does wear dark, unisex costumes currently, but I don't think his current look is EGL or EGA. His costumes are not subtle (or as in Beyond the Gate, elegant), his hair is always quite the opposite, and I think the other members definitely do not wear anything in the EGA line of fashion. 
Also, while it may be true, I think we need to remove the term "high quality" when describing the materials Moi-meme-Moitie uses. If there is any information about the materials they use that could be provided in the article, that would be great, but Wikipedia can't be the judge of quality. Berserk798 02:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Why does it go to Syfy Universal instead of Syfy? 
Syfy Universal did not exist as an entity in the years 1989 to 2009, when the Sci Fi Channel existed, and the entity known as Sci Fi Channel was clearly the same entity as the one renamed Syfy on March 16, 2009. Presently Sci Fi Channel (United States) redirects to Syfy, but none of the SFC international subsidiaries ever had the "Sci Fi Channel" name. "Sci Fi Channel (United States)" is therefore meaningless, as there is not and has never been, a Sci Fi Channel (UK), Sci Fi Channel (Latvia) or Sci Fi Channel (not United States) Bustter (talk) 18:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Welsh Kilt

message: I've removed the following unsourced claim from the article:
:Some think that the Scots invented kilts but it was infact the Chinese who first invented tartan over 3000 years ago. Kilts were worn by all the celtic nations, the Scots, the Irish, Welsh, Manx, Cornish and Bretons.
There is some debate as to the origins of the kilt, and while the Chinese did indeed have tartan-like fabric many years ago, the kilt was developed in the scottish highlands & isles, by Norse, Irish, or Scots. Tartans, especially checked patterns, were also noted to be used by ancient Gauls, in the form of pants (much like Scottish trews) and shawls.  Canæn  01:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Maya deities

message: (Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Maya_gods")
Using both the category 'Maya gods' and 'Maya deities' is confusing. 'Gods' can be understood in contrast to goddesses, but is also, and more generally, a full equivalent of 'deities'. Therefore, there should not be a sub-category 'Maya gods' under the heading 'Maya deities'. As a matter of fact, the Maya gods include goddesses. 86.87.62.150 17:36, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I've thought for a long time that it would be better to delete the "gods/goddesses" categories altogether, and roll them up into  - the same goes for related cat schemes eg , . Dividing these by gender is IMO not really all that useful, and is in fact often problematic in Mesoamerican belief systems, where deity-like figures may frequently be regarded as multi-faceted along both quadripartite and dualism lines- Ometeotl being a notable case-in-point.

replies: text: Very clear now, thanks. Mak (talk) 14:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

text: "the Beneventan repertory ceased to be a viable musical tradition" makes it sound like regardless of outside pressure, the music just couldn't cut it. What if it were something more like "Because of  pressure from foreign abbots, as well as from the Pope, the Beneventan chant ceased to be a viable musical tradition" ? Perhaps that would be too redundant, though. Nicely done, Mak (talk) 20:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What I'm trying to say is that the Beneventan chant was, with a few exceptions, no longer performed, and no new music was added to the Benevantan repertory.  It was no longer a living musical tradition.  Is "living musical tradition" better than "viable musical tradition"?  It wasn't just a matter of pressure; the Pope abolished ("interdixit") the chant. Peirigill 06:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, and you say that the pope abolished it, I just think the death of the chant should be attributed to that, rather than something intrinsically unviable about the music. I think perhaps it's a difficulty with word "viable", which has a value judgement connected with it, in my view. Perhaps if it just says "The Pope killed it" it would make me happier :) Mak (talk) 14:49, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Not sure why the "bot" decided to undo several edits, one correcting the word "receive," which was spelled incorrectly as "reeive" and the one adding her credit in Iron Man, which was given with a reference. She did the role, the reference is clear, it is not derogatory, and gives an appropriate description of where to find her in the movie since her picture is not on the credit or on Wikipedia. The addendum could have said "stripper pole," but I chose dance pole instead to avoid being derogatory toward her, which I think is fair. Anyone care to comment on the issue? Or should it simply say she was in Iron Man, which seems rather ancillary as opposed to informative. 68.2.25.218 (talk) 07:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Extension topology

message: The article is part of an encyclopaedia, not a textbook. It should start with something like
: In mathematics, the closed extension topology is a construction involving topological spaces.
Also, it should give some indication of the relevance of the concept. Right now I'm not so sure what it's useful for, apart from perhaps constructing pathological spaces.
: The problem is I'm not exactly sure myself.  I'm sort of doing a personal wikiproject in creating articles for all counter examples (filling in the list) at Counterexamples in Topology.  This is one of them, but its an aside not an article.  Even when I was a mathematician I was never a topologist.  You grabbed this much sooner than I had expected (I guess because of the stub).  I was going to do something this weekend to tie this closer to particular point.
: But the reason you don't know about the space is because it isn't particularly useful. I'm just working my way down the list.   jbolden1517Talk 11:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  encyclopaedic style 

message: It feels to me like the definition that you give in terms of "start with Y, add a new point p, to get a topology on Y ∪ p" is more natural and easier to understand than the current primary definition given in the article.

thread_title:  primary definition? 

message: I've looked at this more closely now and I'm very confused.
The first definition is not even a topology. It doesn't include the whole space as a closed set. When you say "[by] defining the closed sets on Y* to be the closed sets on Y", do you really mean "defining the closed sets of Y* to be those sets whose intersections with Y are closed in Y"? Or do you mean: "throw in all closed sets of Y, and then throw in Y* as well"?
The second definition is very strange when I think about it. It seems to be saying that S being open doesn't depend on whether p is in S at all; it only depends on whether S ∩ (X\{p}) is open. I suppose that could be what is intended, but it seems strange to me. It doesn't feel at all like the one-point compactification.
Also, I can't seem to make this match up with the particular point topology as you say it is. For the closed extension topology, it's like the topology doesn't care whether p belongs to the set or not; whereas for the particular point topology, the topology only cares whether p belongs.
Some clarification would be appreciated. Dmharvey 13:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

For these reasons I will delete the paragraph. Please do not restore it without discussing the issues here.
If it can be established that there a second fatwa was issued in 2016 then it should be described in the same paragraph as the almost-identical 2012 fatwa.
