Last post by Tierçéu Rôibeardescù - October 09, 2026, 03:15:44 PMQuote from: Tierçéu Rôibeardescù on October 09, 2026, 09:25:41 AMThank you for applying to the Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge of Talossa and for taking the time to prepare and submit your essay. We appreciate your interest in the Society and your desire to advance knowledge in Talossa.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept this submission in support of your application. The essay contains no references or citations to support its claims, and an AI-detection assessment has flagged approximately 68% of the text as potentially AI-generated. While such assessments are not conclusive on their own, these issues make it difficult to assess the work's originality, research, and independent scholarly contribution.
The purpose of the Society is not simply to collect essays, but to encourage and recognise work that meaningfully advances knowledge through research, evidence, critical thought, or original insight. In its current form, we do not feel that this submission sufficiently meets that objective.
This is not intended to discourage you from pursuing your interest in scholarship. We would encourage you to develop your work further, engage with relevant sources, and consider how your research might offer a substantiated argument or a genuinely new contribution to the subject. We would welcome your continued interest in the Society and hope you will consider applying again with a revised or new piece of work.
Thank you again for your application and for your interest in the Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge of Talossa.

Last post by Tierçéu Rôibeardescù - October 09, 2026, 03:14:30 PMI belive until now it has been based on authors choice as to whether they wish there work to be published on the wiki. However, I am planning to make it a condition of some kind so that membership and knowledge is of public record. Im thinking of adding it to some form of membership agreement? Constitution? Guild Document?

Wittenberg / [GOVT] Cartography
Last post by Baron Alexandreu Davinescu - October 09, 2026, 03:07:49 PM
Cartography
Among many of the wild, irresponsible promises that we made during the campaign, the parties of this wonderful coalition Government agreed that it was about time that high-quality maps were available for printing. These days, there's software that allows anyone to make professional-grade maps at home, and that's what we're aiming for. These maps will be made available for free to download, and for a small fee (cost of printing and postage) we will even send them to you once they're ready. You'll be able to put up a fun piece of Talossania that will inspire fun conversations and whimsical delight.
I'm in the process of learning how to do this using QGIS, but I thought I'd also ask if anyone had any experience and would be interested in helping with the project. If so, please contact me at your convenience.
For everyone else: soon you'll be able to find your canton on the map!

Do those who haven't answered the poll yet think they could attend? Particularly interested in opposition representatives since they have the right to deliver an address after the Speech from the Throne.

Last post by King Txec - October 09, 2026, 10:37:53 AMI noticed while perusing the Wiki that only my lecture is referenced there. I think it would be a worthwhile task for all of the papers of the fellows to be included.
I also made sure to link the Royal Society to the Organizations section of our Wiki.

Last post by King Txec - October 09, 2026, 09:46:56 AMWhen I read the article, noting several references to the author being a researcher and jurist, I was puzzled by the lack of references to the relevant academic literature. One of the hallmarks of academic discourse is the reliance on verifying facts and incorporating the thoughts of other academics. These references form a backbone of new approaches or ideas. This kind of assimilation is common and it often leads researchers to new developments, or confirming concepts through similar research.
I don't think anyone in the Royal Society expects dissertation level writing, but I would encourage the applicant to re-draft the work, including appropriate references, while avoiding the use of artificial intelligence where possible. The use of AI is not original, referential thinking. Please note I'm not discouraging the use of Large Language Models or similar technological developments. However, presenting the work of an AI agent as ones own is disingenuous. I've read numerous scholarly researched works that, when AI was used, the author noted such usage. We should encourage such transparency in all our academic discourse.

Last post by Baron Alexandreu Davinescu - October 08, 2026, 07:20:39 AMI marked my availability. I have family coming this weekend and my wife is on a trip, so it won't be a good time for me. But I'm mostly available the other two weekends.

I believe our precedent here is 2 weeks based on our constitution and how things have been run before
I am going off of this: https://wittenberg.talossa.com/index.php?msg=10998 - one week for nominations, then two for voting.
Ahh fair I forgot about that it's been ages
And makes sense
