Intuitionism

I saw the fact tag you added to intuitionism, and tried rephrasing the text some. There is a different description of Brouwer's philosophy at [1]. — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:58, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

/* Discrete frequency */

Hi, I saw you changed my (almost content free) version of the article to a new title. I just wondered where you were planning on moving with this. Discrete frequency domain doesn't seem to have much worth talking about either, and this wouldn't really give much insight to someone looking it up. The only time I can think of when discrete frequency domains arise is for for a periodic signal (which redirects to periodic function). So I wondered whether a way forward would be to add a section about fourier analysis there and turn discrete frequency domain into a redirect to there. Regards, Dingo1729 (talk) 21:28, 18 February 2011 (UTC) Incidentally, I'd probably dispute the statement that a discrete fourier transform goes from a discrete time domain to a continuous frequency domain. It goes from a discrete domain to a periodic domain. Which one we call time and which one we call frequency is just convention from engineers. But this is just quibbling. Regards again, Dingo1729 (talk) 21:38, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't sure which of our user pages to reply on so I took the liberty of copying everything to talk:discrete frequency domain. I hope that isn't a problem. Dingo1729 (talk) 06:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Short Fall

Thanks for your comments here - Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Public_private_trust; at least they were direct rather than nebulous. Verily, a premise for retaining the article was based upon self-publication, however an attempt to revise the article was presumed pointless. In my own circles of contact, my notoriety is fairly established; however some of the content requires anonymity and publication under pseudonym is preferred, which is another hindrance to being admitted to mainstream consideration.

I have filed more than a few copyrights, trademarks, and patents in the past, sometimes with legal help, as the legalize qualifiers are full of idiosyncrasies that often frustrate a novice. I read in the wiki documentation that there was a process for seeking assistance in navigating the pitfalls and challenges, although my time was limited for such efforts. Those who are able to provide notability for the public private trust are being contacted.

My only disappointment is the length of time in history it took to bring the challenges of such an idea forward. Verily, an attempt to create an independent article on collective ownership was considered, as that topic of collective ownership is included under common ownership, within which the Public private trust may be included with a reference to my source as an extended proposition. While collective ownership may be directly related with private ownership, even proportionally when it is established by agreement, common ownership is an affront to private ownership. It was considered comical that deletion of the article was spear headed by one proclaiming to be a communist.

Common Ownership Versus Collective Ownership In political philosophy, common ownership refers to joint or collective ownership by all individuals in society. Common ownership of the means of production is advocated, or asserted, by communism and some forms of socialism. Common ownership differs from collective ownership. The former means property open for access to anyone, and the latter means property owned jointly by agreement.[2] Examples of collective ownership include modern forms of corporate ownership as well as producer cooperatives, which are in contrast to forms of common ownership, such as a public park available to everyone.[3]

Sac vs. saç

Hi, in the tava article, you changed the Turkish spelling from sac to saç. I believe both spellings are used, but interestingly, in the Turkish WP, the article on sheet metal is under sac, not saç. Is this just to distinguish it from saç in the sense of 'hair'? I'd suspect that the pronunciation was saç regardless of the spelling.

By the way, are you in Turkey? I will be in Istanbul starting on Thursday for 10 days. I was last there 30 years ago, so I'm sure a lot has changed (starting with the prices!). If you have recommendations of good restaurants, unusual sights or museums, etc., I'd be interested to hear them. Thanks, --Macrakis (talk) 15:31, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Gyros

On a different topic, there is a merge discussion going on at Talk:Gyros. Your input would be very welcome there, as national feelings seem to have trumped logic and Wikipedia policy. Even though we have reliable sources demonstrating that the food and the name doner were borrowed from Turkish (and 'gyros' was coined later), there are editors who -- for reasons that they haven't been able to make precise -- insist that gyros, shawarma, and doner kebab should remain separate articles. That makes no sense to me. Of course, there are variations and differences (just as there are for pizza or creme caramel), but it's basically the same food and the variations (in my opinion) should be treated as part of a unified article. Currently, the articles are very redundant. --Macrakis (talk) 15:41, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
