Talk:Romanian nouns

message: Is the Romanian neuter gender derived / descended from the Latin neuter?  Or is it a separate, independent development?  Stated another way, can Romanian truly be said to have "retained" the Latin neuter gender?  Richwales 02:56, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's an interesting issue, I hope somebody more knowledgeable will respond, from what I know the grammar features are pretty stable in a language (more so than words), and especially they don't appear after they are lost, so one could assume (using a kind of Occam razor) if a feature is present in a language that it remained there from the parent language rather than disappearing and then being re-imported from another language. Hope a linguist will respond because this is probable well settled issue in specialty literature and there are probably good examples pertaining to Latin and Romanian. -- AdrianTM 03:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An interesting question indeed. From what I see here, it seems that the Romanian neuter did in fact descend from Latin. There seems to exist a similar word class in Italian, although much less populated than in Romanian. For example the Italian noun uovo (egg) behaves as a masculine noun in the singular (uovo buono) and as a feminine one in the plural (uova buone), just like its Romanian counterpart, the neuter noun ou (ou bun, ouă bune). In this particular case the Latin etymon ovum (pl. ova) is also neuter. Vestigial forms of the neuter exist in other Romance languages as well. In this situation it is hard to believe that the Romanian neuter could be a local independent development, although why Romanian has so many neuter nouns remains a good question. — AdiJapan ☎ 07:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Primary pseudoperfect number

message: The image presently in the article doesn't explain why it demonstrates that ""  If no explanation is forthcoming, it should be deleted from the article.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 16:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's a square (with side length that can be taken as one) divided into smaller squares (with side lengths 1/2, 1/3, etc), with each band of smaller squares having area 1/2, 1/3, etc because the number of squares in the band are 2, 3, etc. So area 1 = area 1/2 + area 1/3 + ... etc. By expanding out the one-dimensional sum into two-dimensional squares, the fact that the side lengths of each square are the correct value becomes visually evident, because no other size of square could exactly fill out the unit width by that number of copies. And before you ask for reliable sources explaining all of this: that would be a ridiculous demand that would prevent us from illustrating anything, because if such sources existed then using images sourced by them would very likely be a copyright violation. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:12, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The overall edge lengths needs to be labeled as "1" and   Then it would be an adequate explanation, IMO.  The that, and any further detail, would fall under WP:CALC.  Without that, it's not much better than the "proof" that 5×13=8×8. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 20:09, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not intended to be a drawing of a rectangle. It is intended to be a drawing of a unit square. However, because the final row of tiny squares would be so tiny, it has been omitted from the drawing as an optimization in order to save illustration effort and file size without creating any change to the actual visual appearance of the drawing. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:04, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That looks like the discussion on "it goes without saying" in Mathematics Made Difficult.  It would fail the "proof without words" section of Mathematics Magazine.  I still don't think it's illustrative.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 02:07, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is confusing not to show the last area "1/(2×3×11×23×31)", but doing so is not practical. A simple solution of this dilemma is to replace the image with one showing instead that 42 is primary pseudoperfect. Jsondow (talk) 15:57, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Artistic influence is more global than local. A single copied scene is hardly significant.

Template talk:Infobox Indy500

message: Given that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway does not release official attendance figures, is it appropriate to include attendance figures at all?  The estimated attendance seems to vary more by the news agency doing the reporting than by the actual number of people there. Looking at 2005-2009 (no figure is given yet for 2010), the infobox lists the following numbers:
*2005: 250,000 (no citation given)
*2006: 250,000 (no citation given)
*2007: 300,000+ (estimated by motorsport.com)
*2008: 400,000+ (estimated by CBSSports.com)
*2009: 250,000+ (estimated by The Indianapolis Star)
I don't think attendance dropped by more than a third between 2008 and 2009.  Yes, strictly speaking "250,000+" doesn't rule out 400,000, but it does give a misleading impression.
Also, even if it is kept, it probably doesn't belong in the "Pre-race ceremonies" section of the infobox. Chuck (talk) 04:46, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:You and Me (1938 film)

message: For its time, You and Me was an adventurous, genre-defying film about crime, romance, trust, betrayal and redemption. It even throws comedy and music into the mix. It's been appreciated much more since the days of its release, so it's too bad this piece makes it seem like such a failure. Probably saddest of all is how embarrassed director Lang was about it, when clearly the critics simply weren't ready for something so progressive and  unusual. – AndyFielding (talk) 10:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

message: That building is still there, not very far from the Stock Exchange. Hard to believe that the neighborhood used to be the Diamond District at some point but it definitely was back when this movie was made and long before that. The Maiden Lane name was an artifact of the original path being alongside a stream in which the maidens would wash their laundry. The street curves and winds a bit because it still follows the layout of that long gone but weirdly unforgotten stream. There are still plenty of particularly comely maidens strutting around the vicinity but they're certainly not there to wash their laundry. Racing Forward (talk) 21:45, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
