17:3017:30, 31 August 2024 diff hist −1 Zikrism →Persecution: Fixed typo Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

10:2410:24, 28 October 2022 diff hist 0 Model of hierarchical complexity →Stages of hierarchical complexity: I think this what's the intended word order. The other order didn't make sense to me. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

01:4701:47, 2 July 2021 diff hist +21 History of special relativity →Relativity of simultaneity: I found it difficult to parse the quote from Einstein without mention that the observer was in motion

06:1506:15, 21 November 2020 diff hist +1 m Friedrich Nietzsche →Übermensch: Restoring a removed comma that I feel adds to the readability of this long complex sentence, but doesn't alter its meaning.
05:5905:59, 21 November 2020 diff hist +688 Talk:Projective geometry I can't understand this sentence, can you? Tag: Reverted

01:2101:21, 15 November 2020 diff hist −2 Perspectivism →Interpretation: I believe this change is what was originally intended? I don't understand the meaning of "of rule" here.
00:5000:50, 15 November 2020 diff hist −1 Friedrich Nietzsche →Übermensch: removed comma. The meaning is changed, and I believe what is meant here is that willing the eternal return is necessary, not that willing is equivalent to the eternal return. Am I correct?

01:5901:59, 8 August 2020 diff hist −4 Frame of reference correspond -> equate, "does not correspond" seems to imply no relation, but can't the time coordinate in different frames be related? Thus making it accurate to say, "the corresponding time coordinate in such and such a frame"?

18:3318:33, 4 August 2020 diff hist −1 m The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire →Background: removed unnecessary comma
18:1918:19, 4 August 2020 diff hist −5 The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire →Background: The original source reads "rich and sometimes dark stew". To just say "dark stew" seems potentially distorting and biased. It seems better to include the entire phrase or just say "stew". I chose the latter.
18:1618:16, 4 August 2020 diff hist −15 The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire →Background: removed second repetition of the phrase "random thoughts", which was not part of the original quote.
17:5917:59, 4 August 2020 diff hist −1 m Frederick Trump →Earlier Recorded Surnames: Drumpf and Trumpf: Trumps's -> Trump's

01:5001:50, 18 July 2020 diff hist +3 Sefirot →Ten Sefirot: If I understand the intention here, the Cordoveran idea is that the sefirot evolve in an unrelated way. In statistics, a linear correlation indicates the highest degree of relationship. I'm not seeing a meaning of linear that fits the idea of unrelated. Perhaps "parallel" was the idea here, as in the sefirot co-evolved in parallel, which I think leaves open both possibilities of related or unrelated co-evolution. I think better choices to convey the meaning are unrelated, ind... Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit

21:4621:46, 14 July 2020 diff hist +12 m Semantic loan linking "cognate"

02:2602:26, 27 June 2020 diff hist −13 Structural theory "the order in which atoms are put together" implies to me a linear formation process. I think "arrangement" is a more accurate word to describe the atomic structure of a molecule.

04:1304:13, 12 March 2019 diff hist +25 Transcendentals I'd like to know the source for the idea that logic is the branch of philosophy studying truth. For me, logic seems like the study of consistency but not truth. Epistemology would be easier for me to swallow in this context. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit
