Category talk:National Hockey League teams navigational boxes

message: With the recent deletion of several of the narrow topic navboxes (coaches, captains, etc), along with the wide variety of layouts of the team boxes, some feedback on a standard layout is in order.
*The color-coded boxes are nice, and the layout with subsections works well.  See ,  and .  Need to determine which sections are appropriate.  Also, the "Important Figures" section needs to be renamed at best to avoid WP:WEASEL and definitely shortened to prevent becoming a list of every player. — MrDolomite • Talk 17:59, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Climate of Iceland

message: The climate of Akureyri is Csc , with a dry summer. Would anyone care to check out the statistics and disagree?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.37.224 (talk) 06:55, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it does, just barely. The driest month in the summer half year is just barely less than 1/3 the wettest month in the winter half-year. Thus, it qualifies as Csc, if you use -3C as your isotherm for separating temperate (C) and continental (D) climates, like myself. Some people use O deg C, which would then make Akureyri "Dsc".

message: The text under the photo of the jeeps in snow for typical winter conditions in Iceland might be misleading. 
Because these are not typical weather conditions for most localities in Iceland. Especially with climate change. These conditions are quite frequent in the highlands, but your average citizen or tourist will not experience them.

text: I'm confused because the blog posting uses the subject's full name including "Hashi"/"Xaashi". But by "source," I meant a news article, a book, or some such, rather than a blog (see WP:RS).

text: This being the English Wikipedia, we should use the English spelling (presumably this is what you meant by "the old one"). Note to Adamdaley, "C" in the Somali alphabet is a "voiced pharyngeal fricative" (no English equivalent that I know of, other than the throat opening when one pronounces a vowel at the beginning of a word), and "X" is like the English "H".

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article has been tagged since 2009 as lacking sources. The lede, Demographics section and Notable residents sections have sourcing. Nothing else does. A good portion of those other sections - maybe all them, except some minor edits - were written by a single editor, . Some of his/her material is accurate, but not all of it. I propose that some sections that are difficult to validate e removed:
* History
* The P.T. Barnum myth
* Development of Island Park
* Sense of community
Of course, it would be better to simply find the verifications and only remove that which could not be verified, but I suggest this is unlikely to occur given the time that has passed without fixing and the sifficulty verifying the information (and then weeding out individual items).

Talk:Extendability

message: Hi, Gregbard.
I went looking for a reference for this article, but I'm not sure I can find one. The term "extendable relation" came up empty on Google Scholar. So then I ran this search and came up with 3,150 instances of "extendability" in the indexed mathematical literature.
There's no way I can wade through all 3,150 g-hits, but I did make a pass through the first 100 titles. Here are some representative titles from the list.
*Quasiconformal mappings and extendability of functions in sobolev spaces
*CR structures with group action and extendability of CR functions
*Forbidden Subgraphs and Cycle Extendability
*On the Extendability of Linear Codes
*On wedge extendability of CR-meromorphic functions
*Non-extendability of semilattice-valued measures on partially ordered sets
*Applicability and extendability of Megerlins method for solving parabolic free boundary problems
*Smooth Extendability of Proper Holomorphic Mappings
None of these (with the possible exception of the one about semilattice-valued measures) has anything to do with the notion of an involution (which the definition given in this article is all about). Most of the examples use the word "extendability" in a sense more closely related to the notion of analytic continuation – either in function spaces, or on complex manifolds, or over finite fields.
Anyway, it would be good if you could supply a reference for the definition in this article. Oh -- it also appears that "extendability" would have to be a property of a relation. and not the relation itself.  DavidCBryant 12:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
