thread_title:  How do we add alternates sources? 

message: I am not going to reply to the thread on my talk page because your grievance is with the content in this article, not an inquiry about myself. The onus is on you to explain beyond an edit summary as to why the claim is unsubstantiated. To make sure we are on the same page,  So what did you want me to know? You wrote:
Your first paragraph is conceding to my point that your new primary source, the NYT article, does not substantiated your change in wording to "Biafra made a formal complaint of genocide against Igbos to the International Committee on the Investigation of Crimes of Genocide, 
Your point that Korieh self-referenced in their article is fair. We should definitely look into their original source or discard their citation altogether since it may be dubious. So why not use the source you provided that notes the gap in Korieh's work?
On page 9 the author writes, "The Senegalese and Tanzanian presidents (Leopold Senghor and Julius Nyerere) also labelled the Nigerian policy as 'genocide', though it should be noted that most African governments opposed the Biafran move to secede." And what does the citation next to it say?
:'Pressure on Lagos to Accept Ceasefire', The Times, 10 April 1968. In 1968,  Cronje, The world and Nigeria, pp. 277–8.
So the claim that one organisation, the International Committee for the Study of the Crimes of Genocide, believed there was a genocide in Biafra, is also substantiated in the counter source you gave.
If you think this Wikipedia article is implying that there is a general acceptance that there was a genocide in Biafra, which is what I think your actual grievance is, then provide counter sources and add a new sentence to the article, much like how the author of your counter source did. Do not change the words of an organisation to your own. Yue🌙 20:31, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:President of the Palestinian National Authority

message: The statement "Israeli press simply refers to the leader by name alone." in the section The term is incomplete. Although the Palestinian president is referred to by name alone, he is also variously referred to as chairman, president and even ra'ees by mainstream Israeli media.
If you can't read Hebrew, but would still like to verify this claim with your own eyes, please consider the following two step procedure:
1. Verify the following five claims. You could verify the first two points for example by copying the Hebrew word to an online Hebrew-English dictionary, such as milon. You could verify the other three points by comparing the Hebrew text to the tables on Hebrew alphabet.
:*The Hebrew word נשיא means president.
:*The Hebrew word יו"ר means chairman.
:*The word ra'ees is spelled in Hebrew so: ראיס.
:*Yasser Arafat, the first president, is spelled in Hebrew so: יאסר ערפאת.
:*Abu Mazen, the second and current president, is spelled in Hebrew so: אבו מאזן, possibly with a hyphen between the two names.
:*Mahmud Abas, another name of Abu Mazen (see the Abu Mazen article for support), is spelled in Hebrew so: מחמוד עבאס.
2. Browse to any of the links below, and check that the Hebrew terms for president and chairman are used in proximity to the proper names of the presidents, e.g.:
יו"ר הרשות הפלסטינית, יאסר ערפאת
(translation: Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat)
Yediot Aharonot (www.ynet.co.il):
*'04: President (Comment: mentions that only Israel and the US refer to him as Chairman)
*'05: Chairman (Comment: mentions that except for Israel and the US, he is referred to as President)
*'06: President
*'07: President
Maariv (www.nrg.co.il):
*'04: Chairman
*'05: Chairman, Ra'ees

Talk:Marie-Antoine Carême

message: This article has the sentence "He is credited with the inventions of gros nougats[6] and grosses meringues, croquantes, made of almonds and honey, and solilemmes.[7]" and solilemme is linked to the Sally_Lunn_bun#Origins article about a similar roll in the UK called a Sally Lunn. However, the Sally Lunn article cites evidence that the Sally Lunn predates the French Revolution, so it would not make sense that Careme invented it. I don't know if this throws into question the link between these two rolls, or whether Careme invented it, and it doesn't seem from the discussion of sources in the Sally Lunn article that anybody actually knows either. 2603:8001:9500:9E98:0:0:0:9A7 (talk) 18:49, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Murder 

message: The article states that Weiss suffered from "arterial cancer". As an internist, let me say that such an entity doesn't exist (the closest possibility to a so-called "arterial cancer" is probably a hemangiosarcoma which is very rare and would, in any case, not explain his symptoms (nor, I'm sure, could it even be diagnosed reliably in the 1920's).
Blinding headaches, dizzy spells, and fainting spells might reflect that he suffered from migraines. More intriguingly, and retaining at least some connection to the phrase "arterial cancer", would be the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. A pheochromocytoma is a usually benign tumor of the adrenal gland characterized by paroxysms of high blood pressure often associated with headache, tremor, and sweating. Weiss's symptoms are entirely consistent with that disorder.
I suggest that "arterial cancer" be eliminated and we stick with simply listing his three symptoms (and, possibly, in brackets following them, insert ?pheochromocytoma).

thread_title:  Slight change in formula 

message: I would suggest using the definition of simple harmonic motion as acceleration proportional to extension from equilibrium position as a starting point in order to DERIVE that x = asin(omega.t+delta). This seems more logical rather than seemingly plucking that equation from nowhere; it is much easier to understand the acceleration definition and then integrate to get position, although of course the mathematics are a little more taxing. Anyone object? Rudipoo 20:40, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Counterexample

message: The opening statement “In logic, and especially in its applications to mathematics and philosophy, a counterexample is an exception to a proposed general rule.” is inaccurate. An exception implies that the the rule under question is valid in some or most cases. The existence of a counterexample has no such implications. Also the statement “In mathematics, counterexamples are often used to prove the boundaries of possible theorems” is equally misleading. Counterexample cannot be used to establish boundaries (whatever that means). I'll wait a few days, and if there are no replies or edits, I'll modify these statements. 24.14.155.208 (talk) 20:15, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

However, it does not work in Brazilian logic, where contradictions aren't necessarily false. Counterexamples can exist in Brazilian logic, but the above argument must be checked to ensure that the contradiction produced actually is false in the particular case at hand. 
According to the page referenced, the law of non-contradiction holds in Brazilian logic. (I have my suspicions about the contents of that page too, but \neg \phi(t) \to \neg \forall x:\phi(x) works in linear logic with quantifiers, and R# is stronger than that.) -Dan 16:33, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Is it just a coincidence, or is the dedication of the church (St Mabli) relevant to the name of the village ?   Surely this is worth considering when discussing the name of the village and its variations through history.  There are tens of thousands of placenames in Wales which take the form LLan<saint's name>, meaning the ecclesiastical enclosure (llan) of <saint's name>.  The nearby villages of Llanarth and Llanteilo are examples.  It seems too obvious to be overlooked that 'Vapley' might be a corruption of 'Mabli', or they might both be variants derived from another similar name. g4oep  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.54.83 (talk) 17:08, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cleanup, NPOV, Rename 

message: I don't think I've seen a more NPOV article in Wikipedia than this one. Several viewpoints need covering here, including, but by no means limited to:
*Richard Stallman has stated  the following: "What does it mean when they say that if you share with your neighbor, you're a 'pirate'? What are they really saying when they use that term? They're trying to equate helping your neighbor with attacking ships. Nothing, ethically speaking, could be more wrong than that, because attacking ships is very very bad, but helping your neighbor is admirable."
*United States Code states  that "Whoever, being a citizen of the United States, commits any murder or robbery, or any act of hostility against the United States, or against any citizen thereof, on the high seas, under color of any commission from any foreign prince, or state, or on pretense of authority from any person, is a pirate, and shall be imprisoned for life." I presume other governments also define 'pirate' similarly.
*Some could argue that using the term 'pirate,' when used in this manner, is even propaganda.
*The FSF (Free Software Foundation) in  states "Publishers often refer to prohibited copying as 'piracy.' In this way, they imply that illegal copying is ethically equivalent to attacking ships on the high seas, kidnapping and murdering the people on them. If you don't believe that illegal copying is just like kidnapping and murder, you might prefer not to use the word 'piracy' to describe it. Neutral terms such as 'prohibited copying' or 'unauthorized copying' are available for use instead. Some of us might even prefer to use a positive term such as 'sharing information with your neighbor.'
*linfo.org states (when using 'piracy' to describe sharing proprietary software) in , that "Interestingly, not only the concept, but also the term itself, is highly controversial." and that "As is often the case with controversies, each side claims that there should be no controversy because its view is the only correct one."

This though is not mentioned here. Digging further IDMB includes an undated 26th episode which seems to  be entitled Wings and is indicated to proceed the series. Again this could well be an error, but  I wondered if this suggested a pilot episode broadcast prior to the series being commissioned? I would however note that I have looked to see if there was anything in the Radio Times about such a pilot being shown. Also as Kate is not introduced until later in series 1, it is a bit odd that she would be in an earlier episode. Thus I am not confident that there was a 1976 pilot or one-off that was actually broadcast, but if anyone has information that there was, then perhaps they would like to add details to this article.
