Talk:Nikolai Zverev

message: This Google search brings up “Biographies of known Russian musicians Zak, Zhitomirsky, Zhivotov ...”, although the link  doesn’t work.  What the search reveals, though, is that Zverev died on “12 Oct. 1893”.  Checking in Poznansky’s Tchaikovsky: The Quest for the Inner Man (which uses OS dates throughout), I see that (pp. 571, 572) Zverev died shortly before Tchaikovsky finished scoring the Third Piano Concerto on 3 October (= 15 October NS), and that he attended Zverev’s Requiem Mass on 8 October (= 20 October NS).  What I glean, therefore, is that "12 October 1893" is quite consistent with these other references, as a New Style date (= 30 September OS).  I’m adding it to the article on that basis.  --  JackofOz (talk) 00:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of death nailed down

message: I see that the bald statement that Zverev was homosexual has been edited out and replaced with the suggestion that he was too devoted to teaching to have time for marriage. But then the citations for the previous claim have been left, and one of these quite clearly insinuates that Rachmaninoff's demand for a separate room wasn't because he wanted somewhere quiet to compose. Given this, I am going to slightly reword (and also tidy up the article's English). Hope that makes sense. Alfietucker (talk) 18:00, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Here's the Gazette for Robert Walpole's appointment in 1720:
https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/5859/page/4
I know you're trying to stop confusion with the post of Paymaster General created c.1838 by merging several posts, including this one, but wiki should correct this error.  It means that pages of holders such as Walpole will need to be changed as well.
Many other sources have Walpole listed as Paymaster General [full stop] eg, the BBC:  http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/walpole_robert.shtml
Anyone have any ideas how we should proceed?

message: I don't know why.  All the other links I've added in the {} brackets after the 2nd sentence have linked properly.  As you'll see, I've used double square brackets in every case.  Why is it bold, not linked, and how can this be corrected.
Also, as I say in another talk section, should this page be changed to the correct title - Paymaster-General of His Majesty's Forces?
And should the pages of all holders, such as Walpole, be similarly changed?

Talk:De Rham curve

message: I think the definition of the maps that generate the Minkowski's question mark function are wrong.
With S(x)=x/(x+1) and R(x)=1-x, so T(x)=(R\circ S\circ R)(x)=1/(2-x), it is true that every rational whose continued fraction is [0;a_1,a_2,\cdots ,a_n] is equal to (S^{a_1}\circ R\circ S^{a_2}\circ R\circ\cdots S^{a_n})(1)=(S^{a_1}\circ T^{a_2}\circ S^{a_3}\circ \cdots)(1).
So if we choose d_0(x)=S(x) and d_1(x)=T(x) (and not R(x)!), it is true that c_x(1)=?(x), but this is not what is requested from a De Rham curve: we need to have contraction maps from \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2, when S and T are maps from \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}. Moreover, c_x(1)=?(x) is not the fixed point p_x.
The relations that we need are ?(S(x))=?(x)/2 and ?(R(x))=R(?(x)) from which we conclude that ?(T(x))=(1+?(x))/2. In the plane, the point (x,y) belongs to the curve if y=?(x), so the points belonging to the curve verify that (S(x),y/2) and (T(x),(1+y)/2) are also on the curve. Then the following mappings generate the 2-dimensional curve corresponding to the graph of the Minkowski's question mark function:
d_0\left( \begin{matrix} x \\ y\end{matrix}\right)=\left( \begin{matrix} x/(x+1) \\ y/2 \end{matrix}\right)
and
d_1\left( \begin{matrix} x \\ y\end{matrix}\right)=\left( \begin{matrix} 1/(2-x) \\ (1+y)/2 \end{matrix}\right)
Clément Pillias (talk) 02:35, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that looks correct. However, in the article, z=x+iy so one has to fiddle about to re-obtain the above relationships. Note that ALL of these curves have the period-doubling symmetry, NOT just the question mark. That is, there are appropriate variants of S and T that describe ALL of these curves! 67.198.37.16 (talk) 04:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  A mistake in Minkowski's question mark function? 

message: In the literature, the De Rham curve expression most often design "curves [that] are obtained from a polygonal arc by passing to the limit in repeatedly cutting off the corners: at each step, the segments of the arc are divided into three pieces in the ratio \omega:(1-2\omega):\omega, where \omega\in(0,1/2) is a given parameter" (see, e.g. http://www.insa-rennes.fr/~jmerrien/articles/drla3.pdf ). So maybe the `De Rham curve´ page should be dedicated to that curve, and the content of the current page should be moved to `De Rham curve (Fractal)´?
Clément Pillias (talk) 12:40, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But this is the same thing. de Rham himself gives both of these constructions in his original paper (the 1957 paper cited in the article). He spends some time computing the length of the cut-polygonal-arc construction, as that is the construction where it is easy to compute the length. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 04:10, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Dorothy Cumming

message: I don't know when the original statement for this was added nor when the hidden note was added. I did a Google search for ME and found only hits to this article and a 76 page book by Nuadha Trev. Google books states that this is sourced to WikiP. I also tried to track down the NYT wedding announcement but you have to be a subscriber to access it. So I have added a "dubious" tag. AGF means the info may be correct - or at least the quoting of the NYT may be accurate but if there never was a ME then we probably should remove the sentence.

Talk:Jabesh-Gilead

message: :In 1989 the Austrian-Swedish archaeologist Peter M. Fischer started excavations at Tell Abu al-Kharaz and a series of surveys which also included Tell al-Maqlub. The main aim of Fischer’s excavations was to study the occupational sequence of this relatively large tell (hill with occupation). The discoveries at Tell Abu al-Kharaz by Fischer and his team during eleven seasons of excavations include flourishing settlements from the Early, Middle and Late Bronze Ages,  from approximately 3200 to 1200 B.C., with far-reaching international contacts. There are also finds from the Iron Age which is the period of the above described Biblical events. Fischer says that Tell Abu al-Kharaz is a good candidate for Jabesh Gilead, however, the present state of research does not allow any definite conclusions.

message: Just a footnote that the stock footage of the Royal Naval destroyer escort appears to show the E class fleet destroyer HMS Electra - recognisable by her pennant number H27. Sadly, HMS Electra was sunk in the Battle of the Java Sea in late February 1942, after the period in which the film is set (during the Blitz) but before the film was actually made. Hopefully the audiences mostly didn't recognise her, as for some people related to her crew that glimpse might have been hard to bear. Out of 173 men on board, 119 died in the battle and sinking and most of the rest ended up as Japanese POWs -  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AMClee (talk • contribs) 23:26, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:B. N. Reddy

message: What should be the title of this article, B. N. Reddy or B. N. Reddi? The Telugu word రెడ్డి is usually romanized as Reddy nowadays. But in earlier days, in pre-independence era, Reddi was an alternate romanization. The subject has always been credited in his movies as B. N. Reddi, in no film was it written as B. N. Reddy. However, in most modern media articles the spelling B. N. Reddy is used. So, how do we go about it? Use the spelling the subject himself used or the spelling used by modern media?
The same issue also applies to his brother Nagi Reddy/i and the famed director K. V. Reddy/i. Both of them exclusively used Reddi in their movie credits while present-day media uses the spelling Reddy.  Nikh Nori (talk) 11:51, 14 October 2022 (UTC)
