Talk:Mauricio J. Tamargo

message: This article is a randomly selected subject of my attempt to guage the evolving quality of Wikipedia. I will occasionally select 10 article at random (using the "Random article" feature, of course) and grade each of them using the Wikipedia:Good Article standard below:
What is a good article?
A good article has the following attributes.
1. It is well written. 
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. 
3. It is broad in its coverage, addressing all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC, and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed);.
4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
5. It is stable, i.e.,  it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars.
6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.

thread_title: GA pass

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to update the access dates of the website sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review.

message: I am proposing the CHN Analyzer article is merged with this article. There are CHN analyzers -- but there are also CNHS and CNHSO analysers, and I don't think the difference between them is significant enough to warrant a separate page, whereas the different types would be well suited to be outlined on the combustion analysis page. pinchies (talk) 00:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Quotient space (linear algebra)

message: what's the significance of Quotient Space?
They're used everywhere. If you want a concrete example, you can use quotient space to define tensor products (let V and W be two finite dimensional vector spaces, let X be (infinite dimensional) free vector space on pairs (v,w), and let X_0 be the subspace spanned by (v,w) + (v,z) - (v,w+z) and (v,sw) - s(v,w) for any v,w,z and scalars s (and likewise for the left component of the pair). The quotient X/X_0 is the (finite dimensional!) tensor product. You get the wedge product if you include (v,w) + (w,v) as well (of course in this case we need V = W). 66.117.135.137 (talk) 09:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Quote : "Let C[0,1] denote the Banach space of continuous real-valued functions on the interval [0,1]". This is an error, the continuous real-valued functions on the interval [0,1] do form a normed vector space, but do not form a Banach space (since the space is not closed). However I am afraid to fix it myself since I don't know enough on the subject.

I think it should be "The subspace, identified with Rm, consists of all n-tuples such that the last n-m entries are NOT zero: (x1,…,xn-m,0,0,…,0)."

If it was the 38th appearance it should say that. If the exact number is unknown it should say it was one of her first 50 appearances. 38 is unencyclopedic unless it was the 38th. If she made 100-pluss it was certainly one of her over 100 appearances.

Talk:Methylenedioxybenzylpiperazine

message: I added MDMA to the see also section despite the fact that the main topic of the intro that it wasn't the methylenedioxy ring but rather the piper group that causes it's effects. I think they are closely related enough to include. On a side note, I believe studying the effects of this drug could lead to more evidence of the hangover effects of MDMA.
Also, I'm going to add a sentence in the intro stating something along the lines of how little research has been done due to it being so relatively insignificant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aglo123 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Two things

message: This "drug" should not be taken by anyone. MDBZP gives you headaches, nausea and makes you dizzy but it is neither pleasant or enjoyable. The stimulant effects are weak at best and at high doses it causes convulsions. Do not assume that the effects will be similar to ecstasy just because it has a methylenedioxy ring. The effects of this compound are not anything like ecstasy, and anyone who says they are, is probably trying to sell it to you. Do not take this drug! Meodipt 05:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: First Comment

message: This article cites absolutely NO sources, and the one source that it does cite, PIHKAL, has no mention of MDBZP as far as I can tell. I've read through the whole book, looked through the indexes and skimmed through every entry a second time and found no mention of this drug. Secondly, what clinical trial came to the conclusion that it had only negative side effects? Who is the person who has stated this and how did they come to this conclusion? Did they take a drug that they were told contains this compound? What was the dosage, and how did they know its purity or even whether or not it contained this drug?
Honestly, it probably is good that there is a warning against taking this drug, but there needs to be some quality control on this article, especially considering the fact that a great number of entries on pharamacologically active drugs contain medical information or advice, and that people often make decisions regarding their health based on wikipedia articles.
Finally, the structure of this drug does suggest that it would be active. BZP by itself shares many similarities with the effects of amphetamine and has some effects similar to MDMA. The methylenedioxy component of this compound would very likely increase its lipid permeability and increase its uptake into serotonergic vessicles and more than likely either enhance its 5HT agonist properties or enhance its SERT inhibiting properties. That relationship is seen through a great majority of psychoactive compounds including antidepressants like peroxetine. If someone wants to claim that this compound has no activity, that really needs to be cited, because that would make this compound very unique among a variety of compounds that have increasing activity and selectivity for the SERT (serotonin transporter) and activity as 5HT agonists.

Talk:1892–93 in English football

message: Offical Statistics say that Fred scored 2 against Wales and 2 against Scotland. And therefore I guess that this is how it should be recorded on the website. However, he did in fact score a hat-trick in both matches and there is a huge amount of evidence to prove this. When we come closer to the completion of the book we will be making inquiries on how we can get the official statistics corrected. 
In brief, goal scorers were never officially recorded at the time, and therefore statisticians have worked out who scored goals by looking at newspapers. They choose the times or Athletic news as their main source. 
The fact that the secretary of the FA at the time wrote a book with almost a whole chapter dedicated to Fred and his Scotland hat-trick, the fact that the referee said that Fred scored a hat-trick, the editor of the Athletic News (who didn't write the report for the match) says he scored a hat-trick, the fact that Fred always maintained he scored the hat-trick and the FA even awarded Fred with a chain with an inscription of for the hat-trick. None of these things count, because the Athletic News got it wrong.
We also have compelling newspaper articles that give a clear statement that the journalists could not even see the game on the day because the crowd was so big it was forced to stand in front of them. Collectively the newspapers credited about 8 different players for the 5 England goals. All the people who claim he scored three goals were in the stand and had a clear view, apart from the Referee who was on the pitch.
Anyway. I'm happy for the site to stay at 2 goals for each match, because I know for a fact that when we ask for the stats to be changed. No-one will care and what's more will probably tell us that we are wrong and they are right. And lets face it, it's one of the biggest things Fred did.

message: I believe that even Windows doesn't have a USB or serial implementation for use from Java. Doesn't JavaPOS rely on the underlying USB and serial packages for Java POS to work? Does JavaPOS only exist for IBM, NCR cash-registers and for computers running Linux? For example, I understand that Apple participted in the design of the API for USB, and voted for it, but didn't implement it. See: http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=80. I understand that the Mac version of Java doesn't have an implementation of javax.usb.  In fact, I don't believe one is available anywhere. I understand that Apple doesn't have JComm package either, but that there is a third-party developer that does have a serial package. -- Kaydell Leavitt 166.70.81.134 05:33, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
