Talk:Mitta Mitta, New South Wales

message: The NSW Geographical Names Board states "A locality on bank of Mitta Mitta Creek about 14 km S of Bethungra".  Our info states 30 km from Bethungra.  GA Aust states 15.3 km see query .  The difference is presumably road vs cockatoo flight.  Not sure which one we should be using.--Golden Wattle  talk 21:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems a fair enough approach to me - I have no strong convictions either way.  I suggest annotating with a comment using the tags  so people know how the information was derived. We might also want to take the discussion point to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian places - I have just done Elmore as the Cocky flies - in part because I didn't get up and find a road atlas.  I suspect the road atlas approach is better.  The cocky method does give a sense of geography though - fascinating that it is twice the distance by road from Bethungra to Mitta Mitta NSW than flying.--Golden Wattle  talk 00:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Good point on the idea of a comment - my thoughts are to add the words by road to these types of articles - where the distance is found by road atlas because it gives the immediate information to readers of wiki.  I have added it now and will continue to add in the future.  (I had been doing that on other articles and for some reason did not on this one.)  Agree with your interest on the double distance issue for Mitta Mitta - the turn off to Mitta Mitta (along a dry crappy old dirt track) winds near a meandering old creek bed for 8 or 9 kms before it reaches the church and the turn off for that dirt track is 21-22kms from Bethungra (according to my bike's odometer).VirtualSteve 00:44, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  My 2 cents worth.  I generally use Travelmate MapMaker to calculate distances for me.  Not always 100% reliable but generally pretty good.  When designing the new places info box they have had the same discussion about by road or as the crow flies, and the consensus was by road as that appeared to be more meaningful. I would link to it but for the life of me I cannot find it.--Mattinbgn 02:08, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Punching power

message: The picture's caption doesn't make much sense to me. Everything I have learned about both knockouts and boxing gloves indicates little to no influence on knockout power. ChocoTheRed 10:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know this for a fact, but it doesn't make much sense. If you were ever hit with a boxing glove, you could easily appreciate how weaker these punches are compared to bare hands punches. The physics of it are quite simple. The gloves make the impact with the fact much longer (Every millisecond count in a collision), making the punch much less sudden. Wheel Close 17:14, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Boxing gloves are meant to protect the attacker (he shall not fear to break his hand bones). They actually add to the weight and slow down, but kinetic energy is still about the same or better (if the boxer has trained with gloves and his muscles are conditioned for it). The gloves also disperse the impact over a greater area, but that doesn't help in regard to knockout. Lastdingo (talk) 21:59, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Boxing gloves are meant to protect the attacker? To a certain extent, but a boxing glove makes it harder to get knocked out because it spreads the force out, so a shot to the chin would also put some force on their mouth and some of it would be wasted. This is coming from a person who has been hit with MMA gloves, bare knuckles, and various sized boxing gloves.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.82.19.253 (talk) 00:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Nelson (cricket)

message: I've always heard it called "Nelson" rather than "Nelson's". JH 10:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought that the cricket term "Nelson" originated from the World War 2 era battleship HMS Nelson, which existed between 1925 and 1948.  This was unusual for a British battleship, having three barrels in each of the main turrets, instead of the usual two barrels.  The gun barrels could also be elevated to the unusually high elevation of 74 degrees (if I remember correctly), so that seen from an appropriate angle and distance, the fully elevated barrels of a turret looked like both the number 111 and three giant cricket stumps.  I've seen a photograph illustrating this, but can't find it anywhere on the internet. 188.30.168.162 (talk) 13:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Valiant–Vazirani theorem

message: I have read this exposition, and I am still confused.  If we are given a SAT problem, then we don't know the number of solutions.  So we don't know what k should be.  So we can make a bunch of formulas, one for each k, and there is a reasonable chance that one of them has a unique solution, so giving this formula to SAT-UNIQUE would solve our original problem.  But this does not yield the desired reduction, because we do not know which formula to pass to SAT-UNIQUE (or if we pass them all, as there are only n of them, we do not know which answer to use).
130.60.5.218 10:55, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The argument was stated in a confusing way. But the point is that the reduction has one-sided error: if the original formula is unsatisfiable, then all the output formulas are certainly unsatisfiable. Thus, once at least one of the formulas gives answer YES, the original formula must be satisfiable (and conversely, if the original formula is satisfiable, then this happens with a decent probability).—Emil J. 10:22, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

message: About the criticisms of the press coverage:   the section, I think, might benefit from a bit of expansion and clarification.   The significant point is that these two men were charged almost immediately after their arrest -- a matter of hours, I think.    Once you're charged with something, of course, there's very little the press can report other than your name, age, address, the fact of the charges and some basic details.    If, however, someone's arrested under the Terrorism laws, they usually find themselves questioned for several days, or even weeks, before they're formally charged with anything.    And during those several days or weeks, the press can -- and frequently does -- print acres of coverage and speculation.

message: Nothing is said about Metastasio's own membership in the Arcadian Academy, of which his patron Gravina was a founder. Metastasio was considered a somewhat controversial personality in the Arcadian Academy, because of his open admiration for Tasso and Marino, the latter especially. Arcadia had been founded with a view to moving Italian poetry away from the elaborate 17th century style for which Marino furnished the principle example and inspiration, Marino's style being a development from Tasso's. Metastasio was broad minded enough to see the virtue in the poetry of Arcadia's enemies, so to speak. I couldn't myself see a way to insert this into the article without disrupting the flow.
