Proposition equals implication?

[edit]

When I looked up "inverse" in WP, the article begins immediately talking about implications. So I wondered "Are all propositions implications (because it seemed to me that all propositions should have an inverse)? Elsewhere on the web I found propositions being discussed as implications. If philosophy (does it?) commonly uses this equality ("All A are B" is the same as "If something is A then it's B" or "C implies D for some C, D"), or whatever, should that be discussed somewhere here? -lifeform (talk) 05:52, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lesser of Two Equals

[edit]

Much of this dicussions deals not with a word but more like an anti-statement made by people who find out that they themselves deal with the proposition but are not targeted by the proponent. What you have thus is a antagonist/protagonist article reffering to the discourse of human kind. As a whole people, this is very suspicious and not to the point of fact. A proper way to put it is that the word deals with risk, not value. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:301:7751:160:863:41AF:35BC:9314 (talk) 14:29, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility of the lead

[edit]

I wanted to start discussion on the lead. As stated in my edit summary, my goal was to make the text more accessible to readers without background in the subject, in particular by adding "for example" text. I'm not at all wedded to the particular text I put there earlier today, and I'm very happy to discuss. Botterweg14 (talk) 01:19, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

– There does not seem to be a primary topic for this term by pageviews or significance, when compared with referendum (also often called a "proposition"). ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:59, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
