message: Two walkouts equate to a lot of controversy? Depending on your POV, the second one sounds like an admirable one depending on how the student body handled it. 1968 was part of the Vietnam Conflict era and student protests/walk-outs were the norm.

Talk:Soná District

message: Sona Maximum Security Prison is not a real prison.  Some joker created an entry in early March claiming that Sona was the home of Sona Maximum Security Prison, and that it was used as an interrogation centre for Guantanamo Bay detainees.  Pure hooey.  There are bad prisons in Panama, but the one in Sona was invented by the writers of the show "Prison Break".
If the Sona prison is indeed finctional, then shouldn't we delete the entry? I also took the liberty of removing the statement that the mayor of Sona was starring in "to palamari tou varkari" which is actually a 1985 greek porn movie Stelimili 03:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Te Whakatōhea

message: You can find the evidence in literature as in 'Whakatohea' by A.C. Lyall, or, 'Opotiki Mai Tawhiti' by Professor Ranginui Walker. For manuscript see the  'Opotiki Maori Land Court Minute Books'. You will find that the members of this tribe were wrongfully blamed and forcefully removed from their lands, into what was then termed as a 'Reservation'. The only way out of the reservation was to head to the Maori Land Court and assign delegates from your sub- tribe/ clan group to legally present your association with that land. All confiscated land was either used as  infrastructure for the province or given to the soldiers for their part in usurping the tribe. Over one hundred years later (199?) the New Zeland government formally apologised for their mis-judgement. All Hapu (sub-tribes) now reside within the small amount of land they were able to reclaim from the Maori Land Court. The iwi (tribe) still has not recovered.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terangitakatu (talk • contribs) 11:32, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Capital City Club

message: Two New Orleans private gentleman's clubs were founded before 1883: The Boston Club (1840) and the Pickwick Club (1857). Both of the clubs are still very much in existence. Thus I believe the statement about this being the oldest private club in the south is inaccurate.
Article states Capital City Club, founded in 1883, is oldest private club in the South. This may not be true. Pendennis Club in Louisville, Ky was founded 1881. Is Kentucky in the South? Geographically, it may be slightly ambiguous, but psychographically, I'd say Kentuckians associate with the South more than any region. I did not modify, based on this ambiguity, but worth mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.198.138 (talk) 02:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:De Bruijn notation

message: "wagon"?  Seriously?  Never heard that in my whole 20 years of programming language researcher.  What obscure resources did that terminology come from?  (Maybe the original document introduced this terminology, but for sure, it did not catch on, and it is not helpful to teach this to the public.) Andreasabel (talk) 12:45, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wagon? 

message: Near the bottom, this notation is likened to polish notation.  According to the wiki page on polish notation,
the operator comes before the operands; however, in DeBruijn notation, the operand comes before the
operator:
  (M)N
Here, the applicator wagon (M) is the operand and the N is the operator, IIUC.
Thus, it appears DeBruijn is like *reverse* polish notation.  Am I missing something?
Cppljevans (talk) 15:07, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That note about Polish notation is probably an irrelevant distraction. To be precise, though, the operator in an application M N is the space separating M and N, which are both operands. A proper Polish notation would have written it as @ M N (or @ N M), where @ represents the application operator. I'll remove the note. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 09:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

message: De Bruijn should always have an initial capital D when it starts a sentence, just like anything else.  We don't capitalize copper all the time, but we do when it starts a sentence.  And our Wikipedia article is at "Copper", with no "lowercase" template.  We don't capitalize the newton all the time, but we do when it starts a sentence.  And our Wikipedia article is at "Newton", with no "lowercase" template.  We don't capitalize "heat index", but our article is at Heat index, with no "lowercase" template.
And it is so used at the start of a sentence in this article and properly capitalized there. That alone is enough to make the lowercase template inappropriate for this article.
But in this case it is also much more than that.  De Bruin should start with a D when it starts a sentence, but also it should be De Bruin with a capital D any time this surname is not preceded by a given name or a title.
See, for example, United States Government Printing Office Style Manual, Chapter 3, Capitalization rules:

Talk:WomenSports

message: I am Rosalie Muller Wright Pakenham. I was the founding editor of Womensports. To correct a few items in your listing:  It never was a 16-page insert in Glamour Magazine. I started in December of 1973, hiring Jon(not John) Carroll, Anne Lamott (age 19)and other writers who went on to great things. We produced our first issue of 96 pages, dated May, 1974. Yes, Billie Jean was on the cover.
I was fired in May, 1975 because I would not print a story written by an advertiser, Clairol, telling women how to use their products to keep their hair from turning brassy from sun exposure. I had been Managing Editor of Philadelphia Magazine before Billie Jean and Larry King hired me to start Womensports, and publishing stories written by advertisers was not in my editorial tradition. (Philadelphia Magazine won the National Magazine Award four times while I was employed there--Oct. 1969-Dec. 1973 with child hiatus of two years).
Nearly everyone on the Womensports staff quit when I was fired, but in my subsequent jobs (Executive Editor, New West Magazine, Assistant Managing Editor, San Francisco Chronicle, Editor in Chief, Sunset Magazine) I hired them back and have been great friends ever since. -- RPakenham 16:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
