Category talk:Fictional werewolves

message: Just one thing I'm wondering about:  is the qualifier "fictional" really necessary?  I mean, how many "real" werewolves are there?
It might be better worded as "Werewolves in Fiction". -Xinoph 06:44, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Or just "Werewolves".  Unless we were to segregate between werewolves in fiction (movies, tv shows, etc.) and those of folk legend.  That distinction seems unnecessary though.  The topic is just not that extensive.  Obviously, I support renaming the category.  Regards, Redux 21:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole point of this category, and all of the other "fictional [legendary creature]" categories, is to separate fiction and legend.

thread_title:  Capitalization? 

message: After taking a look at different articles for musicians around Wikipedia, I figured that the discography for this article might need some cleaning up. Some general rules that I've seen are things such as italicizing titles for albums but not singles, which just get quotations; including romanization and original Japanese titles; and dropping title translations altogether.
I'm willing to do all of this since I did such a large edit last year when I included tables in the discography section, but I figured I would check for some responses first before something as vaguely defined and easily contested such as translations causes some edits, reverts, and general bickering. - E-Keo (talk) 05:06, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

message: It says that lyrical themes are about violence, taking Fami Resu Bomba as an example.  But seriously, everyone knows Sex Machineguns lyrics are NOT about violence, but silly stuff.  Even Fami Resu Bomba is a humorous song considering it's about a guy getting angry at minor stuff in a restaurant.

Talk:John F. Kennedy Jr.

message: "Truthful hyperbole" from Coulter? She's not a reliable source. No corroboration for these claims she made in a book, and "admire" is not a synonym for being "particularly fond of a piece … attacking … a rotten liberal." 
The article says it’s a column Coulter wrote but I didn’t find any publication for it.  The chapter in the book is called a "tribute to John" but it’s a tribute to the greatness that is Ann Coulter (name-dropping, book tour, I passed the NY bar exam and John didn’t, etc.). You can read it yourself here.  In it, she also claims that she was fired as a legal correspondent by MSNBC "a lot"  ("I still felt kind of bad about all the firings.") She was fired twice, for cause - the first time after insulting the late U.S. ambassador to France at her memorial service, the second and final time after a snide on-air remark to Vietnam veteran and co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, Bobby Muller.

Talk:Sapience

message: The last comment raises a good point.  The word sapience is more often associated with the notion of wisdom, not sentience.  The latter is applicable to any animal that is considered self-conscious, not just to humans.  I believe Linneus did intend the species name to reflect what he thought was the defining characteristic of humans in the religious sense of the word wisdom. If there is no further discussion of the definition in the next few weeks, I will tackle a development of this entry in line with what I think is a wider acceptance of sapience as wisdom.
George Mobus, 1/21/06
I intend to draw heavily from the work of Robert Sternberg, et. al. on wisdom, but as it relates to
human characteristics.  See: Sternberg, R.J. (ed), "Wisdom, Its Nature, Origins and Development",
Cambridge University Press.
George Mobus, 1/24/06
I don't know if anything else is necessary (I only know the sci-fi/animal rights aspects that are already represented), but at any rate I can correct the etymology! So I have done so. (I actually get conflicting reports from dictionaries as to whether "sapere" means to taste or to have a taste; but in any case it is the meaning to be wise that is relevant!) --Toby Bartels 08:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Development of the Definition of Sapience 

message: I added a tag requesting a rewrite to this article because of a large proportion of questionable content.
Here are some examples to substantiate this request:
*Judgement, given as the primary definition of sapience, links to the page on legal judgement, which is irrelevant. There does not appear to be a page for the philosophical concept of judgement, so the article proceeds to give some remarks on judgement, apparently to clarify. These are both off-topic and unclear.
:: I updated the judgment link so that it points to Value_judgment, but that page is less than perfect as well Stephen Kenny 20:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, despereate need for a rewrite.  Need good article here!  Anyway I thought sapience meant self aware the capability to plan, and an understanding of cause and effect.  Mathiastck 18:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

text: This article seems to have been written off the top of the writer's head, since there is only one reference.
