Talk:Kullervo

message: I removed the reference to Oedipus with reguards to child abuse as the comparison is not apt.  Oedipus was not the subject of child abuse.

replies: text: It basically depends on the metre whether he's referred to as Kullervo or Kullervoinen. It is the same for many other characters in the poems, and was pretty common. (This variability also occurs in the Roland epic and the Nibelungen saga, etc, though I don't have my books here just now to actually give examples.)

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: I am considering editing the bit on child abuse:
"The story of Kullervo is unique among ancient myths in its realistic depiction of the effects of child abuse [1]. The canto 36 ends in Väinämöinen stating that an abused child will never attain the healthy state of mind even as adult, but will grow up as a very disturbed person."
The link given in this paragraph points to the poem itself, in Finnish; it could therefore constitute original research.
Also, the sequence of the sentences in the quoted paragraph is misleading. It actually insinuates that the "realistic depiction of the effects of child abuse" includes Väinämöinen's purported claims, which the academic literature (as well as a lot of anecdotes I could point to) dispute. Moreover, in the english translation provided on sacred-texts.com, these claims appear to be that children who are not properly raised will never know discretion, honor or wisdom; the claims do not seem to refer specifically to abused children.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anvilsmith (talk • contribs) 22:18, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Last paragraph

message: In Little-Scott-Jones (LSJ) dictionary for ancient Greek you will find the words κολλούρα (kolloura) and κολλύρα (kollura) for such kind of bread. Wouldn't it be reasonable to think that modern Greek κουλούρι(ον) (koulourion) originates from these ancient times? (Whether the recipe has evolved since then or not.)
The Ottomans certainly adopted a lot of food from the aboriginal Greeks and especially the imperial (Byzantine) court, after all.
That, apparently, in some regions of Greece the people use the Arabic/Turkish word (simit) instead of the Greek word koulouri does not counter the assumption. Many dishes which have been already known in Greek antiquity are nowadays called by Turkish or Persian words instead of their ancient Greek equivalent, e.g. the stuffed wine leaves, which where called θρία (thria) in antiquity, but today are called ντολμάδες (dolmades).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.114.38.105 (talk) 07:05, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

I'd like to request that any move to delete this article be held off, while I try to source some reliable evidence.

Talk:Petaloudes

message: == "Population issues" ==
Please, Wikipedia, stop this childish, misleading nonsense of referring to problems as "issues". Butterflies don't "face population issues". They aren't Californian therapy patients who have to be protected from the horrors of real life - they're animals that are dying out because tourists are being allowed to mess up their habitat. Calling a problem by another name won't make it less of a problem - but it will make it sound less serious ("mummy will make it all better"), which is no good to anyone at all. I suffer from gout - that isn't a "health issue", it's a problem - take it from me. And algebra problems remain just that - they'll never be "algebra Issues' (at least, I hope not).213.127.210.95 (talk) 16:06, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

* Mention the projective representations stuff works with only the obvious change over any algebraically closed (or solubly closed even) field.  Changes are most 'obvious' for algebraic completions of finite fields, so probably stick with that.
* Cite the recent work on efficient presentations and check if they are done.  Easy search on mathscinet.
* I think the old and recent work on exponents of schur multipliers are pretty cool, consider adding or linking to it.
* There is a ton of work on multipliers of p-groups not even touched on here.  It's even mentioned in Berkovich's character theory texts I think.  Probably ought to go find out why.
* More precisely define the Schur cover (it has two conditions, only one given)
