Talk:Forward the Foundation

message: If I remember right, this novel was not published until several months after Asimov's death.  Does anybody know whether it is all his, or whether somebody did some final touches during those months?  Nobody else is credited, and the style seems to be consistent throughout.

replies: text: I don't know the answer, but since this article states that this was originally published as a series of short stories in magazines, it may be that it was only the compilation and final editing that took place after Asimov's death. - IMSoP (talk) 19:37, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:The Stars, Like Dust

thread_title: Cleanup

message: I own the Doubleday Edition which is pictured on the 'The Stars, Like Dust' page (as of 7 Jul 2009).  The verso reads:
COPYRIGHT, 1950, 1951, BY WORLD EDITIONS INC.
COPYRIGHT, 1951, BY ISAAC ASIMOV.
So, this would suggest two changes to the TSLD page: 1) the book was first published in 1950, not 1951 as indicated in the text; 2) the Doubleday Edition is not the First Edition.  Both of these suggested changes are unless the "WORLD EDITIONS INC." publication was a serialized publication in a magazine-- if this is true, the text can stand as at present.SaturnCat (talk) 22:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The article does not mention the novel's most interesting feature -- the inversion of the villain and hero.

thread_title: Untitled

message: In the single-sentence section titled "Controvesy" (sic), in addition to the misspelled title, there are grammatical errors (unnecessary use of the definite article "the" before "Shanghai's official theme" and lack of the definite article "the" before the phrase "2007 Shanghai Special Olympics").  Additionally, the controversy referred to in the title regards an aspect of a past event (the 2007 Shanghai Special Olympics) in the present tense ("theme song... is being sabotaged.")
More importantly, this entry about a minor, past controversy is not appropriate for the biographical entry of Timothy Shriver.  It would be more appropriate in an entry about the Special Olympics itself (an organization providing intellectually disabled people with opportunities for sports training and competition[1]), although even its significance for that purpose is doubtful.
Furthermore, the connection of this event to Shriver would likely be unclear to a casual reader of this entry because it contains no reference to the fact that Shriver is the current chairman of the board of the Special Olympics[2].

In particular, I hope that contributions regarding the history of the Diocese will be made. User:Alexnovo Franklin Moore 07:31, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why did Provoost resign in 1801, and why did his resignation not result in the election of a new diocesan?  The biographical article on him is quite a stub--some of this material could also do well there, I think.--Bhuck 20:04, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I totally agree regarding his biographical article - and hope to expand it when I have more information.  As to his resignation, I have not found any information as to why he resigned.  He was 59 at the time - and did live for 14 more years, so ill health seems unlikely, but it is possible.  As I continue to review the sources, I will add this information, if found, to his bio.  As to the reason his resignation did not result in a new diocesan bishop, it is my understanding that during that time (unlike today) a Bishop once consecrated may resign his duties but not his office.  Although I need to check that.  The more interesting issue will come up with Bishop Onderdonk, who was suspended.  The accounts of that are very confused.  A very large battle occurred within the Church, with Onderdonk accused of immoral conduct (the touching of married women).  There is much to suggest that the charges were manufactured with the real problem being his embrace of the Oxford movement and ordination of "papists."  Through this it appears that most New York Anglicans supported him, but other US Bishops, voting along Anglo-Catholic/ Evangelical lines, suspended him.  His Brother, the Bishop of Pennsylvania, was also suspended, reasons still unclear.  I am reading numerous publications of the era to try to get to the bottom of this very interesting episode, which has parallels today. Franklin Moore 20:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

text: While I continue to work on this page, I decided to add a new article on Bishop Benjamin Treadwell Onderdonk.  It also needs some expansion, so I invite all to visit it and add, correct or comment.  Franklin Moore 05:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Varieties of monogamy

message: The quote provided to describe social monogamy suggests that it does not imply that the people involved have sex, but the rest of the article suggests that they must. I want to change this; any objections? Am I reading it wrong? LogicalDash 03:49, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding of the quote is that social monogamy does not imply any particular patterns of sexual behavior (e.g., does not imply sexual monogamy). Biologists were confronted with situations where two animals form essentially monogamous relationships, which includes having sex and raising offspring, but the partners in these pairs may or may not slip away for some extra-couple sexual encounters, which may or may not lead to extra-couple offspring. The terms social monogamy, sexual monogamy, and genetic monogamy were created to allow more precise descriptions of what exactly was happening. Some species are socially monogamous, sexually monogamous, and genetically monogamous. But a lot more species are socially monogamous, sexually non-monogamous and genetically non-monogamous. However, go ahead and make the changes you think would improve the article. If someone objects to the changes, we can work towards a compromise that is satisfactory to all. Collaboration is the name of the game here. Kelly 04:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Zabulistan

message: One central issue worth discussing here is the how the distinguishing of pre-/ and post-Islamic Zabul should be presented in the article, esp. in intro and infobox, since the two periods carry very different associations and character. Sources describing pre-Islamic Zabul such as The Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western Regions as well as archeological evidence (see Tapa Sardar for ex.) suggest a strong at the least partly Indian character to the county (early Arab accounts shall have witnessed the same), where both Mahayana Buddhism and Shaivism were practiced as well as some variety of Pali being spoken as at least a second-language by a significant number of the population. After the Ghaznavids, the Iranian character (which must've surely have been there in pre-Islaimic times as well) is enforced with the inclusion of Zabul into the region of Sistan in the Tarikh-e Sistan, as well as the stories of Rostam of Zabul being included in the Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, and New Persian becoming the court language of the region. While not ever being part of Khorasan proper by any historical account, Zabul is viewed as part of the Khorasan marches and Sistan in 10th century accounts onwards. This creates a dicotomy of preislamic Jaguda/Zabul, argubly having stronger ties to Hindu-Buddhist Kabul and Kashmir, and islamic Zabulistan/Ghaznin, which argubly becomes and extention of the Sistan region and a center of Persian culture. It is neither clear to me exactly when we should regard this "province" to have siezed, as it keeps being mentioned in obscure non-official terms even in Mughal accounts. These points needs to be presented in the into and infobox in a clear and substantiated manner which can then be built upon in the following headings. Suggestions for improvements are appriciated.

message: This article was included in :Category:Reportedly haunted locations in Scotland. However, as far as I can see the article as it stands makes no reference to any ghost sightings, supernatural legends or other paranormal activity associated with Crichton Castle which would justify it being in the category. Given this I have taken the article out of the category for now. Of course if someone subsequently adds material from reliable sources which demonstrates that there have been claims of hauntings/ghosts/poltergeists/paranormal activities associated with the Crichton Castle which should be included in the article for notability reasons, then they are more than welcome to put it back in the category at that time.
