Talk:Pine Manor College

message: I looked at this page less than a year ago, and it mentioned that Pine Manor College is one of the lowest rated and least selective colleges in the US in terms of academics. (The ratings are according to US News and World Report, though I have also heard this from a number of other sources.)
Now I see all of that information has been deleted. Is someone from Pine Manor trying to censor useful information about their school?

message: According to the Wikipedia page for Emerson College, " As soon as he was inaugurated in 1979, Koenig initiated talks with Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts to relocate Emerson and merge the two schools.

Talk:Cosmology

message: From the article: Cosmology (from Greek κόσμος, kosmos "world" and -λογία, -logia "study of") is a branch of astronomy concerned with the studies of the origin and evolution of the universe, from the Big Bang to today and on into the future. It is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe.
I think this definition is too narrow. Cosmology refers to *any* theory of the Universe, including religious narratives and metaphysical ideas. This definition implies that cosmology is astronomy, and that is not historically true. Rendall (talk) 23:18, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. It's a metaphysical field of philosophy that happens to include astronomy. Even in astronomy, there are speculative aspects that appear untestable, and thus are philosophical in nature. Praemonitus (talk) 21:52, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Quantum evolution

message: Quantum evolution is a well chosen concept especially for only two words.  Like logic, the quantum has roots in ancient Athenian philosophy, with new and sophisticated understanding from recent discoveries.  The quantum is of action, and evolution suggests time which in turn suggests energy.  Energy and time are among the dimensions of change in evolution's action, and the quantum is a (minimum) magnitude of the action passed.
Evolution, as is known from the fossil record, takes place very slowly.  It involves minute inherited changes from generation to generation in living organisms.  In nature it was not known by plants or animals just what changed, although there was probably a concept that whatever action is, it is available in light from the Sun and its tiny size is indicated by the faintest light that could be perceived.  When times are changing fast, get lots of sun. A parent that learns a new trick is likely to pass at least a quantum of that to its descendants.  Both one's parents learned to read, for instance, so their contribution to one's genetics at least contains that.  
The discovery by Plank and other scientists, that action has a measurable smallest magnitude and identifiable dimensions, means that evolution is becoming more stable and probably better all round.  The smallness means that teaching birds to talk is inheritable but only in small amounts, which is why birds are slow to evolve speech.  Only one action quantum of speaking ability per cell of the bird brain and larynx might transfer to each next generation in birds; with enough patient bird lovers, birds will learn to attach specific meanings to sounds they compose themselves.  In recent decades, crows are vocalizing a great deal.  They use several different 'words' but so far only a few sounds have distinct meanings, such as calls signaling danger and food.  Monkeys seem to have learned to learn and to pass that along to their young as well, so young monkey are taught to use stones to break nuts, and so on.
Is this satire?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.17.235.23 (talk) 22:52, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
Talk:Texola, Oklahoma

message: I would think this town meets just about any definition of a 'ghost town'.  I'm not sure when the town was founded but records show there were at least 361 citizens in 1910, down to 144 in 1974, and 47 in 2000.  Many of the buildings that are still standing are abandoned.  The last bit of business dried up after I-40 bypassed the town and Route 66 was no longer the main transportation route.  Just browsing around it seems like there is a general consensus that Texola is though of as a ghost town:
* Route 66 Through the Ghost Town of Texola, Oklahoma
* Ghost Towns of Oklahoma
* Pictures of Texola, Oklahoma
I think this town definitely  merits 'ghost town' status, even though there are a few people living there.Narthring (talk  • contribs) 04:20, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Long lost son?! 

message: If Pearce was born in the United Kingdom, then he is a British Citizen, automatically, under British Citizenship laws. This will be despite his identification and probable second nationality as Australian. This means Pearce will have dual citizenship. The only way that this wouldn't be the case is if the actor specifically officially renounced his British Citizenship. 96.10.108.74 (talk) 14:32, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: For reasons no-one fully understands, a celebrity (past, present or future) carrying out the simple action of checking in to a flight to Australia is the catalyst for Wikipedia to renounce any hint of British nationality and declare that celebrity an Aussie (bizarrely with the exception of the Bee Gees). See AC/DC for a prime example. Being impartial for a moment, it's one of those daft things that is best ignored - nationality and citizenship both mean different things to different people and anyone reading the article should be able to make up their mind what his nationality is according to their preferred definition. If not then the article is flawed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.135.253 (talk) 22:41, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:1978 FIFA World Cup

message: I'm thinking about adding a paragraph concerning the controversy surrounding Argentina's victory over Peru by 6-0. As many know, Argentina needed to win with a difference of at least 5 goals in their last match against Peru to qualify for the finals and Peru's goalkeeper Quiroga was actually born in Argentina before changing his citizenship to Peru. However, since this is highly controversial, I wish to debate if it should or should not be included. --Vertigo200 01:35, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Aristotaled is insisting that this article include the public institutions in a longer list of "new ivies" published by Forbes. First, this is not a listing of "public ivies" - it's actually a list of 10 public institutions and 10 private institutions that the author of the article name "new ivies." So even if this were a stellar source that was being prominently discussed and cited by scholars, experts, and others it would still be off-topic for this article. Second, we have no indication that this list has any credibility or traction.
We are not obligated to write about every list of universities with the word "ivy" in it. We are certainly not obligated to include such information when it's repeatedly added to a Wikipedia article with no discussion although an editor in good standing has challenged the inclusion of the material.
