message: Should it be noted that Skeptic is often mistaken for a Tool song on the internet? I downloaded Skeptic once and it was labeled as a tool song, and this is apparently mistaken by many others as well, from what ive read in forums and whatnot.

Talk:Norfolk Southern Railway/to do

message: The Norfolk Southern Railway was an operating railroad in 1940 when my father was hired in Raleigh, NC.  He began by emptying trash cans for free.  When most of the able-bodied men were sent to WWII, he was hired finally full time even though he was handicapped.  He was turned down by other railroads for employment because of his disability.  One of his first tasks was hanging the mail bags on the pole for the train to catch as it went by.  He worked his way through the ranks as clerk serving at several stations including Wilson, NC.  As his seniority grew, he would bid on clerk jobs in other stations finally bidding on a clerk position in Charlotte, NC where I was born.  He stayed with the Norfolk Southern Railway and eventually worked his way to management in the Charlotte Freight office on 36th Street and downtown Charlotte, NC in the Liberty Life Building in the Traffic Department.  In 1972 Southern Railway and Norfolk Southern Railway merged and became just Southern Railway.  They kept the management people and my father ended up on the night shift as Agent Terminal Control at the passenger terminal on Tryon Street in Charlotte.  He kept his seniority in tact.  When a daytime position in Charleston, SC became available, he bid on it and because of his seniority, he became Agent Terminal Control in the freight office in Charleston, SC in 1978.  It was still Southern Railway at that time.  In 1982 Southern Railway and Norfolk and Western merged and became Norfolk Southern again.  He retired in 1982 with 42 years of service with the railroad.  In order to keep all his benefits in tact, he needed to work 10 years with the new Southern Railway, which he did from 1972 to 1982.  This is just to clarify that there was a Norfolk Southern Railroad in 1940.  I have many letters on letterhead from his peers with other railroads that no longer exist congratulating my father on his many promotions.  At retirement he was #6 on the seniority list.  It was an honor to be the daughter of such a dedicated railroad employee. Leonajp77 (talk) 05:51, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

File talk:Vitruvian.jpg

message: Another image has recently been uploaded of this drawing, and in the discussion, it was proposed to delete this one. 
As an Art Historian and the writer of a great part of the article Leonardo da Vinci as it stands at present, I would be upset to see this file deleted, for the following reasons:- 
* Although the other file is large and shows a lot of detail when at full resolution, this file presents more clearly at lower resolution and is well seen both small, within an article, and at lower res on its homepage. 
* The colour is not completely accurate in either. It is slightly too blue and too contrasted in this image, and much too orange in the other, as is typical of a pic taken without flash and not correctly colour adjusted by someone familiar with the original. 
* The black frame around the other photo looks quite effective in isolation, but is very distracting when the drawing is displayed among other artworks within an article. 
At present, both images are in use. The newer image is in place within the box at Science and inventions of Leonardo da Vinci

message: I moved page from Gangnihessou to Do-Aklin.  This was done even though Gangnihessou was the first Translation of the week Wikipedia article.  I regret having to move it from such an important wiki-historical page, but think Do-Aklin is right.  The reasons for the move is that 1. There are three common names for the subject: Dogbari, Do-Aklin, and Gangnihessou.  Of these, Do-Aklin is used in the most reliable sources about the person, Gangnihessou is used by works focusing on artistic representations of the person (who is depicted as a gangnihessou bird).  Evidence:  A. Monroe uses "Dogbari", Google Books hits=112 (lots of false hits), Jstor=2. B. and Rainer use Gangnihessou and Araujo does too, But, both of these are talking about artistic representations of the leader and not specifically the person. Google Books hits=30. Jstor=1. C. Halcrow uses Do-Aklin, so do Shillington, and Falola, Google Book hits=273. Jstor=3 (1 English).  Conclusion: Do-Aklin is best name for the subject, the fact that the two reputable sources that use Gangnihessou are both talking about art representations leads me to believe that the multiple reputable sources using Do-Aklin are better for naming the article. Disagree?  Feel free to respond.  AbstractIllusions (talk) 17:27, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Multinational corporation

message: Doesn't the "1930" "start date" look a bit late in the light of this from the BP article?
"In May 1901 William Knox D'Arcy was granted a concession by the Shah of Persia to search for oil, which he found in May 1908. This was the first commercially significant find in the Middle East. In 1909 the Anglo-Persian Oil Company was created to exploit this find. The company grew slowly until World War I when its strategic importance led the British Government to acquire a controlling interest in the company and it became the Royal Navy's chief source of fuel oil during World War I.
"In 1917, the war allowed it to take the British arm of the German Europaische Union, which used the trade name British Petroleum. After the war ended the company, in which the British Government now had a 51% interest, moved to secure outlets in Europe and elsewhere. but its main concern was still Persia, following the Anglo-Persian Agreement of 1919 the company continued to trade profitably in that country."

thread_title:  Documentary film - title needed 

message: This article omits one important critique: the cost of belief. Pascal's wager assumes that believing costs us little or nothing, so that the potential costs of non-belief always outweigh. But for many people, belief is very costly. Those churches which stress the cost of non-belief (i.e. which teach hellfire) are precisely the ones where adherence makes a major adverse impact on people's lives. These churches demand giving large proportions of your income, and of your time. They demand not just an ethical life (which is not really a "cost") but submission to an authoritarian system that imposes all kinds of other rules like the whole system of purity culture, which are cultural norms rather than ethics (though these churches merge ethics and cultural preferences under a single concept of "sin"). For LGTB people, belief in this kind of religion means a complete abrogation of their own personality. For a woman who has been raped and is considering abortion, Pascal's wager may mean balancing the fear of hell against the thought of spending the rest of her life as the single mother of a child she might always subconsiously hate. There is a whole branch of psychiatry dedicated to religious trauma syndrome, the psychological cost incurred by people damaged by authoritarian religion. 
But even in liberal theologies where the cost of believing is low (and the cost of not believing is also low because they don't teach hell), there is still the cost that you would be living an illusion. Because if there is no god, there is a richness in finding a place in the universe that reflects this reality; forcing oneself to be religous means missing out on that. People who are genuinely religious won't see that as a cost, but anyone who is only playing the religious card because of the wager may well look back on a wasted life.
I notice this was discussed further up this page ten years ago, but then forgotten. The parallel article in the German Wikipedia has a long section on this. Unfortunately, that part of the German article is completely unsourced, otherwise I would have been bold and translated/paraphrased it for a new section here. But I find it very hard to believe that in the current New Atheism debate this question hasn't been thoroughly thematized. It would be super if someone can find the sources to allow this to be added.
