Talk:Accidentalism

message: Should this be formatted as a philosophy article or a WP:CONCEPTDAB?—Machine Elf 1735 04:20, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The entries here don't seem to me to be related to a single concept and there doesn't seem to be enough content so far (not to mention zero secondary sources) for a standalone article about the philosophical concept. It seems that you disagree with the concept being synonymous with Tychism though. Could you please explain the difference between Accidentalism and Tychism? -- Fyrael (talk) 05:00, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I see now your response on the philosophy project page. However, I'm not sure what it means for the fate of this article. I personally don't see anything really that ties these entries together as one concept. Do you have more information and sources to flush this out as an article about the philosophical concept? -- Fyrael (talk) 05:04, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not opposed to renaming it Accidentalism (philosophy) for lack of a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and I think the (multiple) issues with the current philosophy stub are WP:SURMOUNTABLE, so... it definitely needs some work everybody.—Machine Elf 1735 05:53, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Concerning the edits made so far, shouldn't step one be removing the unrelated music, art, etc. information?
Machine Elf asked for my opinion here. I think there definitely needs to be a disambiguation page if there are multiple senses of "accidentalism" in different fields, and the stubby content on those different senses that are here right now should be moved into their own stub articles. I have no opinion on whether the philosophical sense should be merged to tychism or not as I'm not familiar enough with either term to judge; if not, then accidentalism (philosophy) would be a good name for the bulk of what's currently at this article. --Pfhorrest (talk) 22:08, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the help. The philosophy stub, at least, can stand on it's own. I don't think a merge to tychism would work because it's a kind of accidentalism.—Machine Elf 1735 04:15, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Valladares

message: This page inaccurate describes the Galician-Portuguese last name Valladares. The title should more accurate reflect to be about Indhu Valladares only. And it's bias to allow bunch of Portuguese information not directly related to the title, and not incorporate Galician Portuguese info that's relevant, for example that during the origins of Valladares in the XII century Portugal was southern Galician, therefore Valladares is not solely Portuguese but Galician Portuguese in origin. Thank you. Sergioval19es (talk) 21:59, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Sulphur Dell

message: There is considerable evidence that Union occupation forces actually used the site for baseball during the American Civil War and that this made it the first venue for baseball in the Southern United States.  It was also later the site of Vanderbilt University's first intercollegiate American football game (against future subsidiary George Peabody College) and was occassionally used for American football for many years thereafter.  Rlquall 11:06, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

message: The outfield slope was equally steep from the left to right field lines.  It was only "most dramatically in right and center fields" because right field was much closer to the infield. The left and right field fences paralleled the first and third base lines, making the field a perfect rectangle. Until the late 1950's, the slopes were very steep, and a path was created half-way up the right field slope for the right fielder to play on. Right field was then referred to as "the dump." Sometime in the late 1950's, the steep hill was converted to a more gradual slope, extending further toward the infleld. The appearance before and after the change can be seen in the pictures on the Sulphur Dell website, although I would like to find a closeup of "the dump" to add to that site. I am 66 years old and attended many Nashville Vol games there between 1948 and 1962.
*Awesome! Did they ever post distances markers on the fences, or did they think that would give too much of a psychological edge to the batters? Wahkeenah 04:45, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:The Curse of Blondie

message: The only problem I have with the moving of material from 'The Curse Of Blondie' to 'The Curse of Blondie' (assuming the latter is the correct capitalisation) is that it obscures the history of the original article. If 'The Curse Of Blondie' had been renamed 'The Curse of Blondie' (after removing the old stubby 'The Curse of Blondie' to avoid clashes) and then 'The Curse Of Blondie' had been created as a brand-new redirecting-article..... the history of the main article would have been preserved.
Did you all follow that?!!
Anyway, what I'm saying is that getting rid of the stub when there was a 'full' article was the right idea, as was correcting the capitalisation. It's just that the way it was done preserves the history of the stub (which got overwritten anyway), but obscures the history of the 'proper' article.
Probably no point in worrying about it now...

Talk:The Lousy World

message: According to the lead of the article, the Kiepsky family is an "average" family from Wrocław...then we find out that the father is a bungling alcoholic, who's constantly trying to steal money from his wife's mother, a pensioner...the wife is a nurse, who on the side works desperately to fix all the family's problems...their 25 year old son is an unemployed jarhead, who for whatever inexplicable reason avoids studying (as though doing so were somehow incumbent upon 25 year olds)...and their daughter is a mis-fit (how is she a mis-fit?  we aren't told...is she actually NORMAL? or is she somehow even more bizarre than the rest of her family?)  The whole scenario sounds like a misbegotten mixture of All in the Family and Married... with Children.  Nothing about the Bunkers or the Bundys is "average" for an American family, and I certainly hope that nothing about Świat według Kiepskich is an accurate reflection of an "average" Polish family.  So...someone who knows the show might want to look into fixing that up, as well as explaining just how the daughter is the family oddball.  Tomer TALK 19:55, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Silo (disambiguation)

message: For some reason this was removed as "nonsense" :
:Another risk is working inside the silo without air supply from outside, since there is no air circulation in the silo, and the oxygene will disappear due to putrefaction of the material stored. This kills if not thousands, then at least hundreds every year, including children playing inside the silos.

Talk:Knaster–Tarski theorem

message: I have found this theorem in various textbooks (including the references mentioned in the article) only in the form the the set of fixed points is non-empty or that there is the largest/smallest fixed point. Are you aware of any textbook using the same formulation as in the article (the set of all fixed points is a complete lattice)? I would be grateful for any pointer.
BTW it is probably useful to mention that this theorem (or some form of it) is sometimes mentioned also in connectin with the name Kleene (as far as I remember, it was in some books from computer science and logic, but it was a long time ago when I stumbled upon this, so I am not able to give any exact reference).
--158.195.15.9 09:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The theorem is presented in this article essentially as it was proved in Tarski's paper listed in the references section.  The fact that the collection of fixed point forms a complete lattice implies that there is a fixed point — although Tarski proved the collection was nonempty before proving it to be complete.  As for Kleene, I suspect you are thinking of the Kleene fixpoint theorem.  That theorem assumes that the map for which we want fixed points is continuous and not merely monotone. Michael Slone (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But the content here as written also assumes continuity: "If f(lim xn)=lim f(xn) for all ascending sequences xn, then the least fixpoint of f is lim fn(0).." If continuity is not required, it needs to be explicitly stated

replies: text: It should be clarified that Milton only references Urania in the invocation to Book 7, which gives the account of creation. And he is careful to note that it is "The meaning, not the name I call." Milton's actual muse is the holy spirit of Christianity and he only uses classical allusions as useful fictions. In this case, the astronomical muse seems an adequate idea to appeal to in describing the creation of the cosmos.

I have reviewed architecture lexicons and monolithic applies to the use of single stones erected on the site or transported to the site. It does not refer to something like this which is carved from the living rock. In that sense it is not a 'stone' and is therefore not 'lithic.

Talk:Battle of Changping

message: Updating the earlier conversations, historian Mark Edward Lewis noted that 100,000 men could be maintained in the field, and that the overall cited numbers included all military personnel. Considering that peak Han China and the Roman Empire had roughly the same population and the Roman Empire fielded roughly 250,000 field soldiers, it is very doubtful that one million Chinese walked onto the same battlefield and fought each other.
However, Warring States China and especially Qin were extremely militarized, with the Qin engaging in mass peasant levies. The Roman Empire fielded 250,000 PROFESSIONAL soldiers, so the Roman Empire numbers are not comparable to Qin China. A better comparison of general numbers would be to consider how many sailors the Romans could employ for naval battles - for example, the small Roman state when it only controlled Italy was easily able to put 150,000 sailors on its own into the Battle of Ecnomus, and both Rome and Carthage fielded over 450,000 throughout the First Punic War. This means that the state of Qin could very well have had 450,000 soldiers in operation, if not on the same field. Considering that the battle of Changping occurred over 3 years and acted more as a war than a battle, the troop numbers are reasonable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lonewolf371 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
