Talk:Plugrà

message: I'm concerned that specifying that it is not certified to be hormone-free is not a neutral statement. It implies that that kind of certification matters, when there's no evidence that it does. One could label milk with a sticker saying "This product is albumin-free", charge $1.00 more for it, and in a few months, celebrities would be going on daytime talk shows speaking about the evil unscrupulous manufacturers that leave the albumin in their milk. To that point, Wikipedia shouldn't be used to advance the marketing agendas of milk producers who have done the above, but with growth hormone. I'm removing the statement to protect the neutral point of view of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.251.127 (talk) 18:53, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The hormone certification thing 

message: The article claims that with Plugra, you can omit the heavy cream when making alfredo sauce.  I find this hard to believe, since Plugra is 82.5% butterfat vs. 80% for normal butters (per Keller's Creamery web page).  I can't imagine that that small difference can allow you to fundamentally change the composition of alfredo sauce.  I can believe that Plugra + cheese yields a useful and delicious sauce, but if you're going to call it alfredo, it should be essentially indistinguishable from an alfredo sauce made in the usual way with heavy cream.  -- Coneslayer 16:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Makar Sankranti

message: Winter solstice falls around sometime in Dec 21-22nd. According to modern calendar, makara sankranti should be over in December 21-22 every year.
The confusion comes from a different source: although the day starts getting longer after 21-22nd Dec, the sun continues to rise late. But around Jan 14-15, sun will start start getting up early. However, day has already become 45 min longer. There is a difference between the astrological calendar and modern astronomical observations (corrected calendars are available but not widely used)chami 03:58, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: They are two different points in time. Winter solstice is indeed Dec 21/22 when the Sun reaches overhead the Tropic of Capricorn. Makara Sankranti is the day when the Sun moves into Makara rashi. That happens on Jan 14/15. Winter solstice date is slowly changing due to the precession of the equinox; Makara Sankranti date remains unchanged (because rashi are sidereal elements). For more details see here.Kishorekumar 62 (talk) 18:27, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Makara sankranti vs winter solstice 

message: statement:
"Makar Sankranti is one of the few ancient Indian festivals that has been observed according to solar cycles, while most festivals are set by the lunar cycle of the lunisolar Hindu calendar." 
Reference
https://www.drikpanchang.com/sankranti/makar-sankranti-date-time.html?year=2016
Conclusion: Nature of this reference is very weak. The way eclipse cannot be part of any Calendar,  Makar Sankranti is not part of regular Calendar per say. However it may be  announced along with Calendars the way eclipses are announced.
statement:
Being a festival that celebrates the solar cycle, it almost always falls on the same Gregorian date every year (January 14),[4] except in rare years when the date shifts by a day for that year.
No reference available.
:Makara sankranti is indeed fixed based on the Sun. Most other Hindu festivals are fixed based on the Moon (masa, paksha and tithi are used to define the date). Gregorian calendar year is solar. Hence, indeed the Gregorian calendar date of Makara Sankranti does not change year-to-year.Kishorekumar 62 (talk) 18:36, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Maccabees thing 

message: I think this article is very bias and somewhat anti-Richard Joel. I think the name should be Mr. Joel or President Joel, not just his last name. In addition, some of the material used isn't biographical. It's very much like a soap box.
:As for the use of "Joel" as opposed to "Pres. Joel," this follows Wikipedia:Naming conventions and is thus appropriate. (George W. Bush is referred to as "Bush" in his article). After reading the article over, I agree about the bias part. The criticisms of Richard Joel are certainly notable, but a better degree of balance is necessary. Feel free to add information documenting praise of Richard Joel, or something to that effect. --DLand 07:42, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  

message: I added the tag because of the below paragraph. I'm Irish and have lived in different parts of the country, I've never heard of the fire protection superstition and while the cross was a common symbol when I was a child I can't recall seeing one in a house for at least 20 years.
"Many rituals are associated with the making of the crosses. These are often still carried out today and many Irish homes still feature Brigid's crosses. It is a common belief throughout Ireland that a Brigid's Cross protects the house from fire."
The statement below is also unsourced, I was taught in school that Bridget never existed and was just a co-option of the earlier Celtic god by early Christian missionaries.
"Brigid's crosses are associated with the Irish saint Brigid (who was given the name of the Celtic fire-goddess by her pagan father) and are constructed on the saint's feast day (1 February, Lá Fhéile Bhríde/Imbolc)."

Talk:Master Hand

message: Upon replaying Kirby Superstar for the SNES, there is a boss in "cave exploring" subgame ("the Great Cave Offensive" or something like that) that greatly resembles the Master Hand. I forget for which level he appears in exactly, but it is one with a Mayan-esque theme. The boss features attacks very reminiscent of MH, but this could stem form the fact that there are only so many offensive tactics a disembodied hand can imploy. But considering the fact that both games are developed by HAL Labs, I don't see this connection as being too far off.
Hello, I beleive the origin of master hand is that he is the cursor in the original kirby dream land on gameboy.  When you get a gameover and choose continue he pokes kirby and wakes him, if you choose quit he flicks kirby off the screen, showing he is a dick.  He is shown as a gloved hand, like in the first smash bros.
I believe that he first came in super smash bros. This is because he is seen in melee positioning the characters in the intro. He is a spectator watching the fight.

The Tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb is a vertex-transitive honeycomb, so all vertices are identical.

Talk:Outcome (game theory)

message: regarding "upshot" as another term for "outcome", referencing Decision making using game theory: An Introduction for Managers. I might have missed the particular spot you saw, but the use of "upshot" is see is in this sentence (p.44): "The upshot of this theory is that it is possible to convert a player's order of preference among outcomes into numerical utility values." That's using "upshot" colloquially, and not as another term for "outcome". Let us know if there's a different use of it, although I really don't think that it would be recognized as common enough to be in the opening sentence. Cretog8 (talk) 21:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Early Christian art and architecture

message: The ancient anhk symbol evolved into the key symbol of Christianity, because in Egypt it had a 2500 year pagan significance.
All over the rest of the Roman world, a cross was a simple tool of execution. Non-Egyptian Christians chose the fish symbol,
or used an image of a youth Christ as a shepard, carrying a lamb over his shoulders. The Egyptian Christians smoothed the way to a general acceptance of the cross for Chistianity. I have posted a good example of that on the page with the bust image.Nativeborncal 06:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
