Category talk:Saints

message: Are we including all religious figures in this category?  To the best of my knowledge, Charles Wesley (a lifelong Protestant) has never been canonized or even beatified, so I'm not sure why he was included here. - jredmond 16:11, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: No, only people whom at least one Christian denomination reveres as a saint.  The Church of England reveres Charles Wesley as a saint (at least, according to our List of saints - if this is inaccurate, he should be removed both from this category and that list).

Talk:Margaret the Virgin

message: The article links to Olybrius, who was Emperor for 3 months before dying in 472. Whereas, it also says, Margaret died in 304. Both can't be "right"; we should get the legend straight. Johnbod 16:11, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I recommend deleting it. Pythons make sure their prey is dead before they start swallowing. That's what all the strangling is for. David Marjanović (talk) 00:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Preserved for posterity: "If Margaret has been a historical person, an explanation for the dragon could be a rock python (Python sebae), which can grow to length of up to 6 m (20 ft). It was known to Romans, and often seen in circuses. Rock pythons are known to have attacked and even swallowed humans, and if Margaret had been of smallish stature, the snake could well have devoured her and later vomited."

message: I do believe using the word cult to describe groups that took to Saint Margaret of Antioch is unnecessary.  The word cult carries negative connotations that this article does not need.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jewellertman (talk • contribs) 08:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Word Cult 

message: A picture of a painting by Francisco de Zurbarán is used both in this page about Saint Margaret, who in the Orthodox church is called Saint Marina, and on the page of Marina of Aguas Santas. One of them needs to be wrong. The same mistake is to be found in the correlating pages in Spanish. On the website of the Museo CarmenThyssen in Malaga Trinidad de Antonio writes that the Zurbarán painting is about the Spanish saint who has "often been mistaken for St Margaret of Antioch".

Talk:List of reptilian humanoids/Archive 1

message: Herodotus is clearly talking about snakes with wings, not Pteranodons.
* He says that some are small. A human historian is never going to describe a Pteranodon as 'small'.
* He says they are like water snakes. A pteranodon is nothing like a water snake.
* He says the ibis' 'content' with them. No ibis is going to last more than five seconds in a fight with a giant flying lizard.
* There is no indication that these snakes are intelligent, or humanoid, in which case there is no place for them in an article about Reptilian humanoids.

message: Isn't a formal group a group object in the category of formal schemes? Spakoj 12:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a group object? 

message: Over the rational numbers, there is an isomorphism from the additive formal group law to the multiplicative one, given by exp(x) − 1.
I would mention here that exp(x) is seen here as a formal power series over the rationals, exp(x)=1+x+x^2/2+x^3/6+..
and also that log(x) is seen as a formal power series over the rationals.   This would make it clear why you don't need to work over the field of real numbers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.92.106.134 (talk) 14:22, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:New Straitsville, Ohio

message: The claim making it the longest-duration human-caused conflagration in the world seems dubious. The given link is a "gee whiz" facts page that doesn't include any references. As our coal seam fire article points out, there are many coal seam fires that have lasted for multiple centuries, and in a few cases, for millennia. Of course in the really old ones there is often uncertainty about how they started, which may include natural causes. For example the Brennender Berg has been burning for 321 years; the local belief is that it was started (accidentally) by a shepherd, although this is unprovable and some people believe it started naturally.
At any rate, it seems unlikely that the oldest artificially started one is only 125 years old, so it would be good if we could get a better reference. -- 202.63.39.58 (talk) 11:37, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Professional qualifications in the United Kingdom

message: This page is a mess. The main lists are not alphabetic, nor are they sorted into lists of awards from alphabetical institutions. Also, some of these awards need checking as they seem to be a mix of chartered and associate grades.
Suggestion:
# I will try to sort these lists into strict alphabetical order
# We need to get a grip on which are chartered / professional grades and which are associate grades. Perhaps a list of those titles with the word 'Chartered' in them; another list with those containing 'Member' or equivalent? There may be some exceptions / problems with this, but these can be discussed.
