Talk:Commutative ring

message: the current definition depends on the definition of a ring, and it would make sense to have a standalone definition on this page. Pdbailey (talk) 02:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Having reread the definition of ring (mathematics), I withdraw this suggestion. Pdbailey (talk) 19:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree with this.  It is very helpful to have the full definition here, so I have added it. Depassp (talk) 05:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not convinced it is better to have the full definition here. For example abelian group doesn't redefine what a group is; it seems redundant to repeat seven of the axioms of a ring and add an eighth. As the article currently stands, one would have to look closely at all the axioms to ensure that in fact the only difference between this definition and that of a ring is that a.b=b.a. It seems more natural to not repeat the full definition of a ring here. Mlm42 (talk) 07:59, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  nonrecursive definition 

message: The article Product (mathematics) has a section listing 3 rather basic commutative rings that college students might encounter. Those examples really kind-of don't belong there, cause they don't really have much to do with products per-se other than that rings have a product. However, this article is completely missing any section of "basic examples of commutative rings that beginner students might bump into" -- could that section be moved to here?  Anyone? 67.198.37.16 (talk) 21:53, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I understand and support the warning that modules are much more complicated than vector spaces. However, saying that even the rank of a free module may not be uniquely defined is confusing in an article about commutative rings. One might either remove the sentence or turn it into something like "However, in contrast with the situation over non-commutative rings, at least every free module has a uniquely defined rank, see (link to the wiki-page about invariant basis number)."  Cheeseruch (talk) 18:33, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. However, the rank of a free module is a minor aspect of module theory. Therefore I have removed this sentence, and replaced it with the mention of modules of finite type, which are central to the theory. D.Lazard (talk) 09:16, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason why "Subfields of Geology" needs to be a subcategory? I think it would be more practical to put those subfields directly into the Geology subcategories. That way people could find Geophysics and Paleontology by going to the Geology Category. As it is, there are enough subcategories under Geology that the existence of a Subfields subcategory was difficult to spot. e.g., The first two times I looked at this Category I was confused by the lack of a Geophysics subcategory.Elriana (talk) 05:50, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

My suggestion is to place the main article in Mukacheve and redirect the others to it. After all, the town is located in Ukraine and Mukacheve (Мукачеве) is its official name, while Mukachiv (Мукачів) is the name in Ruthenian, and Munkács (Hungarian) and Mukačevo (Slovak and Czech; Russian Мукачево) are historical, albeit well-known, versions of the name.

message: The article still needs a lot of attention (apparently this is one of several closely-related subjects in need of major cleanup). The lead is still lacking cites and glibly touches on contracts, torts (negligence and prod liab), and administrative law. Some still-obvious gaps include I.P., estates, family law, constitutional law and international law.

replies: text: This book is much cited and discussed, but this is a question of works that cite the book.  This is partly because there is very little in the way of contemporary publication on the iron industry.  The most recent article is mine and I think I reviewed all the worthwhile historiograhy and tried in it to produce a worthwhile synthesis.  I do not think that it is useful for WP to repeat all the debate about it: some publications are inclined to quote its content completely uncriticially, usually becasue they do not know better.  There is also a substantial hisotriography on the transition to mineral fuel in the iron industry, but that does not belong in this article.  Peterkingiron (talk) 19:16, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Why was the previous version clearer?
Duxwing (talk) 13:31, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The edit mostly introduced peculiar idioms in place of fairly standard constructions.  For instance, while an "investor" is the standard agent in these kinds of models, your revision introduces the unusual word "arbitrageur".  Changing "bring it back into line" to "return it to line" seems like nonsense, or at least a lack of understanding of common English idioms.  I wouldn't necessarily choose the wording in the article on this point if I were writing the article, but at least it communicates something sensible.   I'm also somewhat averse to apostrophes as in "the financial asset's expected return" over "the expected return of a financial asset".  I feel that the latter construction is more natural.   Most of the rest of the edit just seems like frobbing.  Sławomir Biały (talk) 14:54, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Psoriasis

message: Hi, I was just reviewing a recent edit made by someone from an IP address that suggested we include the following evidence in the article:
*"Recent study demonstrates that bacterial and fungal proteases are able to activate the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-36γ, suggesting a possible microbial trigger or etiology for psoriasis."
This looks like an interesting research paper. Adding evidence to Wikipedia is a little different from an academic review article in that in most cases, Wikipedia articles only include evidence that has undergone a secondary review. I can see that this is a primary research paper that was just published a few days ago. My idea was to include this on the talk page so that we can look for a recent review that may summarize preliminary work or similar studies, or we wait for this paper to be included in a systematic review or clinical guideline (or any source appropriate for Wikipedia as per WP:MEDRS.

message: Good evening fellow Wikipedians - One of the C-SPAN-related projects I have been working on for some time is the addition of the C-SPAN template for individual appearances to as many External links sections as I am able to. In the course of having worked on that, I have come across a number of likely spelling, duplication, and sorting errors, as detailed here: User:KConWiki/People for whom C-SPAN may have a spelling or duplication error. If there are any of you who happen to work with C-SPAN or its video archives directly, let me invite you to point appropriate parties towards the page I just linked to and see if there opportunities for resolution. My view is that resolutions of the spelling, duplication, and other errors noted will be of benefit to Wikipedia and its users, because it will improve the quality of the External links. I plan on adding to that page as I come across additional errors. Please let me know if I can make any additional comments on this topic. Thanks KConWiki (talk) 00:34, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
