I assume that you are '''the''' Dave (''"A People's History of U.S. Sports''") Zirin. Plz be advised that a Misplaced Pages editor -- I am unable to ID the said editor at this time -- is '''STRONGLY''' implying that your non-Misplaced Pages writing is excessively biased and thus should not be cited in the ] article. I, for one, find the implied claim to be immensely irritating and specious. (At least, irritating enough that I'm willing to act as an editor again in this particular case.) | |||

I see that you have entered an array of questions. Can you be specific? The hoax, if there is one, may be introduced by yourwide array of issues. Put your shot gun away, and stop shooting from the hip. | |||
A July 27-29 conferences in Mainz, Germany is being held to expose the translation issues related to the several of the topics that your 'gut feel' seems to sense (per http://mathforum.org/kb/thread.jspa?threadID=1916972&tstart=0 ), such that: | |||
It should be noted that the conference focuses on translation issues: | |||
"Writings of Early Scholars in the Ancient Near East, Egypt and Greece: Zur Übersetzbarkeit von Wissenschaftssprachen des Altertums Interdisciplinary and international conference, Johannes Gutenberg University, 27-29 July 2009 | |||
The historiography of the sciences in antiquity (including Egyptian and Mesopotamian cultures) has changed fundamentally during the past 40 years. Changing methodologies and aims have led to a focus on recognition and reconstruction of ancient scientific concepts, which can differ significantly from ?similar? modern concepts. As a way of bringing these changes to light in a useful way, the conference will focus on the problem of translations. | |||
Translations are directly affected by respective cultural beliefs of the translator. How then can ancient concepts that differ from our modern ones be expressed in modern languages? And how can these differences be understood by a modern reader? Currently, some translations which are likely to mislead a historian of science, a scientist or a mathematician may still be accepted as correct by the philologists of the individual cultures. | |||
The conference aims to explore problems involved in translating ancient scientific texts and to create a methodological framework to improve the quality of future translations. To achieve this goal, we aim to bring together leading representatives and junior researchers with a philological background or a background in history of science (Egyptology, Assyriology, Classics, editors of ancient scientific texts and scholars using them). | |||
After an attempt to determine characteristic features of individual sciences in antiquity, and how they can be distinguished from non-scientific texts, specific examples will be used to enable interdisciplinary and intercultural discussion. | |||
We invite interested participants to join the conference and contribute to the discussions. Please register by 31 May 2009 at wissenschaftssprache@mathematik.uni-mainz.de. | |||
The conference fee of 15 ? to compensate for expenses is to be paid in advance (registration). | |||
Location: Senatssaal der Naturw. Fakultät, Johann-Joachim-Becher-Weg 21, 55099 Mainz, 7. Stock, Raum 07-232 | |||

I saw an intertion warning placed on the FrontAccounting page. For me the article was very informative when looking at different Open Source projects for our organization. | |||
When examining a project, it is very helpful to first see all the project features before testing. | |||
