Plantinga and possible worlds

Hello, Auró!

I'm currently without time to edit the article to put the reference, so I hope that you will use your interest for Plantinga's opinion as reason for doing the work for me! :D

Here is the interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p692Kp-BcRQ

God bless!

Binary numeral system in Leibniz article

Hey, Auró. Thanks for the comment; I'm happy to have discussion about it.

There were two issues that I identified with the statement in that article, and I tried to encapsulate them into the limited space allowed by the edit summary. For convenience, here's what I wrote in my summary: "remove mention of binary numeral system being something that 'is used on computers'; it's bad prose and misguided at best".

The first issue is that I regarded it as being "bad prose". The clause I removed from the article mentions the binary numeral system being something "which is used on computers". It's subjective, of course, but I felt it was poorly worded. If this were the only issue I detected in that clause, I agree that it would have behooved any reasonable person to improve the word choice rather than simply removing it altogether. However, it seemed to me that there was another issue.

The second issue is a bit more difficult to explain and has to do with the subtlety of language. Rather than to try (and certainly fail) at explaining it, I'll attempt to describe it in a way that I hope proves to be more successful at communicating my thoughts. In essence, whether you detect the same issue in the clause I removed necessitates that you answer "yes" to the following questions:

  • Is there a conceptual distinction between a more general "binary system" that uses discrete signals as computers do and the binary numeral system which uses the digits 0 and 1 to encode numbers in a fixed form in a positional number system (i.e., a matter of notation, which doesn't have anything to do with the implementation of computers at all)?
  • Was Leibniz's work in the latter but not particularly in the former?

On second thought, it seems that answering "yes" to both of these questions would imply that the whole mention of Leibniz's work on binary should be removed from the section on computation, as it would be a non-sequitur.

I'm not sure what to do, actually.

Ecosystem

I just wanted to explain why I haven't responded to your comment - I'm hoping someone else will weigh in. I didn't stop pruning links because I thought I was done (I think your suggestions make sense) but rather because I figured I'd work on expanding the article. Once that's done, a lot of the "See also" should go because it will be linked from the article. Guettarda (talk) 02:02, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Forestry

Hi Auró, Given your interest & practice of forestry, perhaps you would be interested in participating in WikiProject Forestry. Thanks for your consideration & Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 16:50, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I thank you for your invitation. I would like to joint, but I have to be realistic. I have a very wide range of interests, and not much time to work at Wikipedia. Nevertheless, I do not rule out to join some WikiProject, like Forestry or Environment in the future.--Auró (talk) 19:48, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Habitat

Hi. Don't worry, I never remove tags without a valid reason, and for me too an important article as Habitat needed expansion. As you can see I've not removed the ecology-stub tag but I've simply placed it below the navbox and category, as for the standards of enwiki (French, Spanish, Italian (and other) Wikipedias use to add the stub tags above the article, this one not). Good work and regards. --Dэя-Бøяg 20:47, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Catalan culture challenge

I've seen on your userpage that you speak Catalan: From March 16 to April 15 we will be organising the Catalan Culture Challenge, a Wikipedia editing contest in which victory will go to those who start and improve the greatest number of articles about 50 key figures of Catalan culture. You can take part by creating or expanding articles on these people in your native language (or any other one you speak). I've seen you have interest in religion. There are a couple of religious figures on the list. We look forward to seeing you! Amical Wikimedia--Kippelboy (talk) 08:37, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kippelboy. It seems that we are a pair of Catalan guys speaking each other in English, as it should be, because we are in English Wikipedia. I have seen the list of fifty Catalan personalities. Although there are not many Catalan scientists, I think that we could add a couple of them to the list: Joan Oró and Ramon Margalef. I will try to help in the project.--Auró (talk) 22:52, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copyediting

Thanks for the message, Auró. I really only meant that I “edited”. Copyediting usually means: correcting for grammar, spelling, readability, or layout. Or trying to make the article clear, correct, and comprehensible. And of course all of Wikipedia is “based on a source or sources” so that hardly needs to be said, I suppose. The word “copy” in the publishing refers to an article that is being worked on, so you “edit the copy”. I do like to fill out the boxes that summarise what was done. Sometimes I say “reworded”, if that’s what was done. All the best. Handthrown (talk) 04:31, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
