message: I have never wikified an article before so I would welcome any feedback. meshach 05:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, I liked your article, but the two articles we had were very similar.  I didnt have a problem with it, but then an editor came along and redirected the article I was working on to yours.  The one I had written seemed to say essentially the same thing, but much more clearly and completely, so I switched it the other way around.  Open to your thoughts on this.--EliWolcott 07:29, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Dixon's factorization method

message: I cannot see a real difference to the Quadratic Sieve, but thar does not really matter.
:Dixon's method is not a well-specified algorithm in that it doesn't really give a method for finding relations (presumably, brute-force search would be used). The quadratic sieve uses some mathematical facts and the sieving procedure to speed up the finding of relations. The number field sieve is yet another way of finding relations. Decrypt3 20:47, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The confusion between Dixon's method and quadratic sieve is something I encounter increasingly frequently in the wild. I once saw a video on YouTube where a guy explains Dixon's method in great detail, all the while believing he is explaining quadratic sieve. Then just today I found another video on the same topic by the same guy, with the same mistake. And it's in this article too, where it asserts that the strength of QS is in finding small values of k^2 mod N, while its actual strength is in avoiding separate factorization of each candidate, and in spending very little time on dealing with failing candidates. I plan to fix this tomorrow. Rulatir (talk) 00:01, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

message: This article has quite a bit of overlap with quadratic sieve, which also goes into quite a bit of detail regarding the linear algebra stage. This should be either in one or the other, or moved out to congruence of squares. Dcoetzee 02:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Overlap

message: When testing N=84923 one actully find first b-smooth z=436, 436^2 mod N = 20250, which is 2*3^4*5^3.
Another important fact is that, we find in this example z=505 (less than "first" 513), is square 505^2 mod N = 256, which is 2^8. So whole procedure is somehow useless.
Maybe slightly better number N could be find to better ilustrate its application of Dixon's method.

replies: text: I took a look at the Jep Hostetler article.  Before it was redirected, there really wasn't much there, just a single line saying that he used to be President of the IBM..  As such, the admins really had two choices: Delete it, or redirect it.  Redirecting seems to have been the kinder of the two options.  If you feel that he's sufficient notable to meet Wikipedia's Guidelines for Inclusion (WP:BIO), the article can be easily enough re-established.  Otherwise, it's probably best to just mention his name here at the IBM article. --Elonka 23:40, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, I see that Rings (local I.B.M. clubs) has recently been created, which essentially clones the useless list in this article.

thread_title:  But just what is macabre? 

message: The most likely origin of the word is the Arabic maqaber - cemeteries. Therefore Dance Macabre = dance of the cemeteries. The Hebrew interpretation is unlikely, and in any case the Hebrew and Arabic interpretations have the common root qbr, meaning grave (qaber in Arabic, Kever in Hebrew). The single Hebrew word mikever (מקבר) would be closer to macabre while having the same meaning as the two words in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arielh (talk • contribs) 18:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of Macabre 

message: I've had a lot of problems with the pronunciation of 'Macabre'. After over an hour of struggling, I discovered what the issue was. All the dictionaries acknowledge the French origin of the word, however, the dictionaries are in English, but not specifically American English. Though I'm used to hearing the word pronounced "mak-kahb," (living in America) every dictionary I came across that had an audio clip, pronounces it, "mak-kahb-ra."
I therefore would like to propose (because I don't know how to do it myself), the addition of two audio clips, one labelled as American, and the other UK, so that we can hear the difference in the pronunciation. I haven't located a French clip of the word yet, however, based upon my own studies of French language, it would sound similar to the British pronunciation than the American version, citing the pronunciation of 'quatre' as the basis of my theory.
Then again, maybe Americans just pronounce it improperly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DeNoel (talk) 07:59, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Uruguay

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts. 
We hope to see you there!

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Freestylefrappe/Proposed decision

message: I disagree strongly with SimonP's assertion that the Kumanovo article was the source of the problems.  It was the start of some of the problems, but the issue here is really that Freestylefrappe responded to several issues--one of which was the Kumanovo edit wars--very poorly.  Can I politely request a bit more explanation of your reading of the evidence page, SimonP? -- SCZenz 06:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention. I was not the one who listed the proposal that the Kumanovo article was the "focus of dispute," and I actually voted against that finding of fact (but for reasons more of wording). The behaviour at Kumanovo was unquestionably poor, but the evidence as I see it does not show any particular pattern of the user warring over a series of articles. Unless presented with evidence to the contrary, I am going to assume that this was a single case that grew out of control. Since a single article was the focus, then I don't think there is any call for him to be able to be "banned from any article by any administrator". I would have suggested a long term ban from that article, which was a problem, but Freestylefrappe hasn't edited it in over a month and according to the talk page it seems like the dispute was resolved. This is separate from the concern over abuse of admin powers, which you are quite correct went beyond this single article. However bans from certain articles are not a good response to abusing the blocking or protection policy. - SimonP 14:29, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok, that makes sense.  I guess I got the sense from what you wrote that you were also underemphasizing the abuse of admin powers, but looking again I think that might have been a misreading.  Thanks for your answer. -- SCZenz 21:24, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
