Template talk:Serie A

message: There are so many templates on wikipedia nowadays. It seems so many are irrelevant, template cruft, though this has become something of a feature of wikipedia since i joined. Nobody actually wants to contribute useful information to the project, just show off their wiki-coding schools by adding useless crap, that can just about justify itself to the point of not being immediately deleted. This isnt myspace, if you want to show off coding skills go there! these templates are useless. Almost all templates found at the bottom of pages are far better off being categories, as they have no benefit as being a template, and simply clutter the articles. Thank you.

Is this a joke (as the quotation marks might suggest)? I've also seen the claim somewhere before, but after looking the pictures of each tower, they are nowhere to similar. Sentech is somewhat round and clearly wider on ground-level, while Hillbrow seems to have sharp edges and does not get any wider up or down (except the deck level). 82.141.119.130 (talk) 09:10, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Dedekind zeta function

message: In the "Euler product" section we have the following statement: "The fact that, for Re(s) > 1, ζK(s) is given by a product of non-zero numbers implies that it is non-zero in this region."

Talk:Definable set

message: This is to the anonymous editor from California who is trying to add the following sentence:
:It is a weaker notion of decidable set since there may not be an algorithm that halts on every input formula.
I am not opposed to adding an explanation of the connection between definable sets (in a possibly finite, possibly countable, possibly uncountable model of an arbitrary theory) and decidable sets (i.e. certain subsets of the natural number). But then we have to do it correctly. This sentence lacks context, to the point that I can't make out whether it's just misleading or plain wrong. After your latest edit comment I am not sure if you are at the right article. Are you confusing definable sets with recursively enumerable sets? The usual context of model theory is full first-order logic including negation, and if a set is definable, defined by a formula φ(x) say, then its complement is also definable: by the formula ¬φ(x). --Hans Adler (talk) 09:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the sentence about decidability doesn't belong in the lede, and I also don't follow the edit summary here at all. My first thought is there are lots of definable sets in ZFC (for example, ω5) for which it doesn't make much sense to ask about decidability.  It is true that in the context of theories of arithmetic definability is a weaker form of decidability. For example, in Peano arithmetic, the definable sets are exactly the sets in the arithmetical hierarchy, while the decidable sets are the Δ^0_1 sets. But like Hans says, if a set if definable then so is its complement. — Carl (CBM · talk) 20:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Ramana Maharshi

thread_title:  Jivanmukta 

message: regarding this addition to the lead
it's totally WP:UNDUE. Newcombe makes a passing remark to Ramana Maharshi:
Newcombe refers to Ankur Barua, “The Silences of Ramana Maharshi: Self-Enquiry and Liberation in Sāṁkhya Yoga and Advaita Vedānta,” Religions of South Asia 9.2 (2015): 186–207. I think you'll be hard-pressed to find sources which start with stating that Ramana Maharshi was a yoga-guru, or that his teachings are "representing the essence of yoga"; none of the sources I've read ever does so. And if there's more on this, first it would have to be added to the body of the article, before summarizing it in the WP:LEAD. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 14:55, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Volkhov (river)

message: it is known very well but forbidden to talk about it...
Volhkov derived from pre Christian Slavic name for the priests (like Druids) of the Old slavic faith; Volhv, Volkhv. In modern times Volkhs are still called Magicians or 3 kings in Christianity in Russia, Ukraine which means that old slavic characters passed into Christian figures; that's why the foreign christian, greek bishops have had less work in the baptism of the old believers; inventing and renaming old characters and giving them christian elements.

Talk:Vermont Agency of Agriculture Food and Markets

message: Historically, these are invariably called "Agriculture" Departments, or, like the fed, "Department of Agriculture."

I live in Vermont and had to work to discover that this was one of a few cabinet level offices. And only because I know where to look to find that information. Also harder to set up on a national template, with the awkward and non-standard name. I think it should be changed to "Agriculture" and redirected from here.
