Talk:Hemlock

message: References for Socrates drinking hemlock being a myth? WormRunner | Talk 19:49, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the concisification done by Kingdon. I think that in this case, where there is quite strong ambiguity, it is required to have slightly more information than would normally go on a disambiguation page. In particular, I think it is useful to indicate which hemlock was used in the poisoning of Socrates, and to show that the reason for the ambiguity is a US neologism that came into common use. I'm open to discussion on this, though. -Kieran 12:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably best to see what other people think, rather than arguing between us two (even the "concise" version struck me as longer than desirable).

Talk:Martín Chambi

message: The Spanish language article has:
:Martín Chambi nace en una familia de campesinos quechuahablantes en una de las regiones más deprimidas del Perú, a finales del siglo XIX. En su condicion de indio y desheredado, la pobreza y la muerte del cabeza de familia hace emigrar al joven Martín Chambi, con sólo catorce años, a buscar trabajo en las multinacionales que explotan las minas de oro de Carabaya en la selva a orillas del rio Inambari. 
I translated this as:
:Martín Chambi was born into a Quechua-speaking peasant family in one of the poorest regions of Peru, at the end of the nineteenth century. As an Indian without fortune, poverty and the death of the head of the family led him to leave his native village at the age of only 14 to find work for the foreign companies that operated the Carabaya gold mines in the jungle on the banks of the River Inambari.
An anon (80.119.131.136) has recently edited it to:
:Martín Chambi was born into a Quechua-speaking peasant family in one of the poorest regions of Peru, at the end of the nineteenth century. When his father went to work in a Carabaya gold mine on the banks of the River Inambari, Martin went along.
Unfortunately, this person gave no references for the change. I personally do not independently know the facts of whether Chambi's father was dead or alive when he went to the mines. Offhand, I am inclined to trust the Spanish-language Wikipedia, but I will not revert this without evidence. However, a reference one way or the other & a change reflecting that reference would sure be appreciated. -- Jmabel 20:20, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the book (see publications section) the amended version is correct, Chambi accompanied his father to the mines. I can't find any mention of his father's death in the book. Samatarou 06:12, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Schneier and Blaze's MacGuffin

message: I was struggling with showing that encryption and decryption is the same (except for the reversel of the key order) in an assignment in my studies. I tried using this article as a basis to understand it, but discovered after a while that there is a minor flaw in the figure of the structure.
After the last round in the feistel structure is run, there is an extra flip of Ln/Rn, making the result of the last round and the entire process different. This is important when trying to understand why it works to run the same algorithm for decryption as for encryption.
You can see a correct model in William Stallings' book Network Security Essentials, on page 33, in the 2nd edition of the international version of the book.

Talk:Squash (sport)

message: Squash is a racket-and-ball sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court with a small, hollow, rubber ball. The players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. The objective of the game is to hit the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. There are about 20 million people who play squash regularly world-wide in over 185 countries.[1] The governing body of Squash, the World Squash Federation (WSF), is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), but the sport is not part of the Olympic Games, despite a number of applications. Supporters continue to lobby for its incorporation in a future Olympic program. The Professional Squash Association (PSA) organizes the pro tour 69.79.197.186 (talk) 01:53, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Carchemish

message: As Dougweller suggested, the Talk section should be used to discuss the issue of the spelling of Karkemish, as even David Hawkins does in his authoritative Corpus of Luwian Hieroglyphic Inscriptions. Actually, the article heading should be Karkemish rather than Carchemish, because that is a transcription from an ancient name written in cuneiform and other ancient Semitic sources, and the standard international transcription is with K and not with C any more. So, the old British Museum reports of course are titled "Carchemish", but the correct entry should now be Karkemish, in order to conform to standard international practice for this ancient toponym.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaziantep2012 (talk • contribs) 10:32, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I hadn't seen these comments until now. I think going with the rules of using the most common name in English literature, we'd have to go with Carchemish, analogous to having an article at Sennacherib rather than Sîn-ahhī-erība.

Talk:Frantz Fanon

message: If they do, I don't see evidence of it in this article. I do see some titles in the Books section that may or may not have something critical to say about his thought, but the word "critical" is of little help as it has a special meaning when used as in "critical studies". The title of Gibson's Rethinking Fanon: The Continuing Dialogue is suggestive and perhaps a knowledgeable editor has something to add if, as I suspect, there are scholars who see Marxist or other elements of his anti-colonialism as counterproductive. If I'm right about that I should like to see some discussion of it in the article. I understand that the fact that scholars have criticized Marx, Lacan, or other influences on Fanon does not necessarily mean they have addressed Fanon's views specifically. —Blanchette (talk) 08:04, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does anybody disagree with Fanon about anything? 

message: The article claims "During the war, Fanon was exposed to more white European racism. For example, European women liberated by black soldiers often preferred to dance with fascist Italian prisoners, rather than fraternize with their liberators.[15]" 
This seemed a bit dubious and I checked the source which is Lewis R. Gordon's study and he actually used the term mistreat, instead of racism. I would argue both terms are not exactly neutral and I feel Gordan's claim is a non sequitur. So this should be tidied up substantially  Aerchasúr (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
