Talk:Dirk Hartog

message: This is dubious as far as I know, given that the Aboriginals had a long distance form of mail, considered by many to be a written language. I believe its called something like spirit sticks.

thread_title: Second or third?

message: The article says that the Eendracht arrived safely in Batavia in December 1616. However, the article by Phillip E Playford (Australian Dictionary of Biography)suggests that it reached Macassar on 14 December (presumably 1616). This is a long way from Batavia and even if the Eendracht arrived in Batavia at the beginning of December 1616, would that have given Hartog time to disembark, conduct business, take on new supplies and then make it to Macassar within two weeks?
Also, the Wikipedia article says that Willem de Vlamingh landed on Dirk Hartog Island and found the plate in 1696, whereas the Playford article says that he landed there on 2 February 1697. Which is correct?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.212.74 (talk) 08:52, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Fragile base class

message: Reading through this article, it seems that anyone with the most basic understanding of object-oriented programming (that is, they have a reasonable answer to "what is an object?" and "what is a subclass?") will be able to comprehend this article.
I am not sure about the state of this article when this problem was raised in 2009, but as of today, I believe it is as understandable as possible, given its necessary subject matter.
Conversely, the article for multiplication is also very technical, at points hard to understand and using symbols and notation that someone with a basic understanding of mathematics would not be able to comprehend.
Because of these reasons, I will be removing the  template. If there remains a good reason to place that template on this article, it should be placed again, with a dedicated section on this talk page explaining the rationale so that specific action can be taken in order to get the article to the necessary state where that template can be once again removed.

thread_title:  Comment about dependency on molecular weight 

message: The Chemsketch chemistry software gives the name of this chemical as 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane. (Note the lack of 'perhydro' and the ending of '-cane' rather than '-cine', which also implies that the 'c' is pronounced differently in each case.) Is this name also correct for HMX, and if not, which is right: The software or this article? Cyrek 00:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  IUPAC Name? 

message: In the article it is claimed that: HMX "is a powerful and relatively insensitive" explosive... and later: "HNIW and octanitrocubane, are more powerful and less sensitive".
Although on the HNIW page they say that "all testing up to date indicates that despite great power, CL-20 (HNIW) is hyperactively sensitive, to the point that almost no American explosive manufacturer will produce it in bulk".
Maybe a clarification is justified? =)

replies: text: There are two parameters for explosives, sensitivity and sensitiveness.  The latter refers to the explosive's sensitiveness to the desired method of detonation.  Sensitivity, on the other hand, refers to its sensitivity to undesired methods of detonation (rough handling, dropping, etc.).  Just to confuse matters furhter, the sensitivity is actually quoted as a figure of insensitivity (or FofI).  The larger the number the less sensitive (or more insensitive) the explosive.  FofI used to be defined by TNT having an FofI of exactly 100.  However, it has more recently been redefined around RDX as having an FofI of 80. 86.144.90.137 (talk) 16:43, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Redirect Request

message: I was wondering if the theory purposed in this paragraph is something that people in the field actually wonder about? 
There is some question as to why Hamilton would spend so much time on his eleven point plan and what impact he had. One bit of American mythology has Hamilton deliberately introducing such an outrageous Plan in order to make the Virginia rather than the New Jersey plan look moderate. The story concludes by demonstrating that the very next day the amended Virginia Plan is adopted and subsequently Hamilton leaves the convention for New York. But there is no evidence that Hamilton's speech swayed anyone to change their vote from the New Jersey plan to the Virginia Plan.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.144.81.231 (talk) 19:16, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Share housing has similar information. Is this a POV fork? --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:26, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding the merge proposal which has been up since 2010 - I think the consensus (of what discussion there has been) on the merge is that share house is that Roommate should merge into Share house rather than vice versa. They're both pretty lousy articles, but they are shared knowledge and for better or worse true co-produced wikipedia articles. In the interests of resolving a dysfunctional impasse I'd suggest combining the best of both, redirecting and moving both under the title Share accommodation. I think Share accommodation is a better encyclopaedia term (and potentially, article) because it avoids regional terms and the type of accommodation the sharing is happening in. The reason not to use Shared accommodation is because that phrase would cover all forms of household - family and non-family and also institutional accommodation, whilst Share accommodation (I think) retains the sense of mainly non-family non-institutional households. A problem to this formula is that the word 'roommate' is used for cohabitants sharing a room in residential colleges, but is also commonly used in a slightly more confusing sense for people who do not share a room but share a flat, apartment, or house, for which usages a flatmate, or housemate article would be most appropriate.

Talk:Ship prefix

message: I think it's pretty common knowledge among people interested in maritime history that some modern authors, internet commenters, video game developers, etc will use prefixes like "KMS" or "IJN" for Nazi German and Imperial Japanese warships respectively.  However I don't think a lot of people were merely a casual interest in the subject (for example, someone who only became interested in this subject recently after playing World of Warships or something) are necessarily aware that these prefixes aren't historic and are merely being applied retroactively by modern authors retroactively.
With that in mind, I propose another bullet point section be added after "Prefix Conventions" specifically to address the fact that these prefixes aren't historically authentic and that any modern use is an anachronism. I see a few places where this is touched on (like the Imperial Japanese row on the table), but a separate section could go a little more in depth about it.  To be clear, I'm not proposing this section contain its own table with lists of every anachronistic prefix anyone has ever come up with, as that could theoretically get out of hand.  But instead a section specifically to address what I've already mentioned and list a few of the most common examples. ZackAkai (talk) 17:04, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Supernatural  

message: In the New Testament section, references 14, 21 and 22 all cite the "Satan" section of the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, pages 156-157. The text with those sources in the article gives a certain narrative that perked my ears as possibly not reflecting academic consensus. They are:
* That Revelation 12 indicates that "The fall of Satan at the coming of Jesus marks the separation of the New Testament from Judaism"
* That Luke 22:31 indicates that Jesus "…thus takes on the role played by angels, and especially Michael, in Judaism"
In the first point, Revelation 12/13 never indicates a separation from Judaism. In the second, Luke 22 never indicates that Jesus is taking on a role from Michael, and in fact never mentions Michael at all.
I could be completely off-base, and I don't want to start slapping tags on the article without a discussion. What are others' thoughts on either the source or its characterization in the article? AnandaBliss (talk) 16:57, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Consensus regarding the ''Theological Dictionary of the New Testament'' 

message: The article lists both the original Latin and an English translation of the Saint Michael the Archangel prayer. The Latin is sourced from the Holy See which on the same page provides their official English translation. The English translation of the site comes from James Joyce's novel Ulysses. This is not a translation in common usage and it conflicts with the Latin itself. The line "defénde nos in próelio;" translates literally to "defend us in battle" not "defend us in the hour of conflict.", it's a reasonable poetic embellishment but it is not a literal translation nor is it(or is at least no longer) common among those who actually pray the prayer. Given that the source cited for the Latin version already provides an English translation that is more faithful to the original Latin text I propose that the prayer be changed to 
"Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

thread_title:  No copyvio 

message: This section is wrong. The word, spirituality, does not derive from French. It comes from Latin. Nor does it pertain to the soul. The English “spirit” derives from the Latin “spiritus,” which means “breath.” Hence, “inspiration,” which means “in breath,” and “expire,” “breathe out.” The idea that the breath contains the energy of life is not unique to European traditions. In Jewish Scripture, God brings Adam to life by blowing into his nostrils. In India, pranayama is a program of exercising the breath to attain higher levels of awareness. Buddhists also meditate on the breath. In Polynesia, the honi is a way to exchange mana by means of breathing into each other’s noses. The belief that spirit and soul are synonyms is common but erroneous nonetheless. 50.34.56.10 (talk) 17:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ephebophilia

message: I support removing or rephrasing at least parts of this poorly-sourced undue content which appears as an attempt normalize ephebophilia, including "It's not unusual for a typical 16-year-old to be attractive to many men" without a systemic review, or even study, to support this.
:
Mid-to-late adolescents typically have physical characteristics near or identical to that of legal adults. Because of this, scholars Skye Stephens and Michael C. Seto argue that ephebophilia contrasts what a paraphilia entails since "older adolescents are reproductively viable and the fact that typically men are sexually attracted to older adolescents, as reflected in self-report, psychophysiological, and pornography use studies." Psychiatrist and sexologist Fred Berlin states that most men can find persons in this age group sexually attractive, but that "of course, that doesn't mean they're going to act on it. Some men who become involved with teenagers may not have a particular disorder. Opportunity and other factors may have contributed to their behaving in the way they do". According to psychologist and sexologist James Cantor, it is "very common for regular men to be attracted to 18-year-olds or 20-year-olds. It's not unusual for a typical 16-year-old to be attractive to many men and the younger we go the fewer and fewer men are attracted to that age group."
