Talk:Whitesburg, Kentucky

message: I am updating the population to match the 2010 census. One other area that needs to be updated (or simply remove the old stats) is the land area, which has changed as Whitesburg annexed additional territory. MarkWKidd (talk) 05:18, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Changing city land area

message: John Daugherty White reference to naming of Whitesburg is incorrect. White wasn't born until 1849, six years after the post office opened with the name "Whitesburgh."
It's possible it was named for White's uncle, John White, who was Speaker of the House of Representatives at the time the Whitesburgh Post Office was commissioned, but I have no evidence of this. Does anyone else have anythought? Letcherwater (talk) 16:28, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

text: I've seen those references, but "Political Graveyard" gives John Daugherty White's birth date in 1849 and the U.S. Postal service lists the founding of the post office as Whitesburgh Courthouse in 1843.

thread_title:  The Either/Or Choice Close 

message: Closing is a sales term which refers to the process of making a sale. The sales sense springs from real estate, where closing is the final step of a transaction. In sales, it is used more generally to mean achievement of the desired outcome, which may be an exchange of money or acquiring a signature. Salespeople are often taught to think of targets not as strangers, but rather as prospective customers who already want or need what is being sold. Such prospects need only be "closed". 139.5.248.147 (talk) 08:02, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved

message: Origin of the word "Gonzo"
----
That Cardoso quote was not the first use of the word Gonzo. The word Gonzo comes from a jazz song that Thompson used to love. He shared a room with a writer in Puerto Rico who used to call him "The Gonzo Man" because Thompson played the song all the time. It's in "Gonzo", the oral history book edited by Jann Wenner.

Talk:Gerald David Lascelles

message: It is worth noting, in the event of someone getting an itchy trigger to AfD poor Mr. Lascelles again, that the guy was 7th in line for the throne at the time of his birth, and a grandson of the then king.  He remained in the top 10 in the succession until the birth of the present Duke of Gloucester in 1944, I believe (he may have been 11 briefly between the birth of Prince Michael and the death of the Duke of Kent). At the end of World War II, I believe he would also have even been a possible Councillor of State, given the low number of adult royals (when he turned 21 in 1945, the adult royals ahead of him in succession were his uncle the Duke of Gloucester, his mother, and his older brother, which I believe would have made him a councillor of state until Elizabeth came of age in 1947.)  Surely this makes for notability by any reasonable standard? john k 01:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright problem?

message: I've deleted the above statement, because it seems to be nothing more than an NPOV opinion and contradicts the rest of the article: can the song be considered one of the "worst" if it reached #1 in a national music chart? The quote in the second paragraph specifically says that the song is about the war in Afghanistan and not Iraq. Was this sentence entirely based on the opinion of just one music critic? That seems to be insufficient justification for including it in the article. Adam McMaster (talk) 17:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

message: There are several songs with the title "Have You Forgotten", So linking to a specific song by ONE (!) Artist is incorrect and misleading. e.g. 1981 - À La Carte; 1996 - Red House Painters; (and of course also) 2003 - Darryl Worley ... and maybe more.

Talk:2006 Mumbai sweet seawater incident

replies: text: Yes, it one of the possibilites discussed was that a large bulk of freshwater from the overflowing Vihar Lake which feeds the river could have sweetened the water. Others include heavy rains, coupled with low tide and the fact that fresh water "floats" over sea water usually around river mouths. Another reason could be the release of a undersea freshwater spring. =Nichalp «Talk»= 15:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Line search

message: This article seems to put loads of emphasis on the inexact line search, and states that one way of solving this is through the backtracking line search (which is obviously true).
However, there is very little explanation of what an exact line search is.  You can use the bisection method, for example, but other methods such as Newton or secant work fine as well.  The term "exact" might be historically confusing because we use inexact method to get the "exact" solution.  Namely, the primary difference between inexact liine searches and exact ones is that the former attempts to lower the objective function (by some amount: i.e. Armijo or Wolfe conditions) while the latter tries to find a value such that the gradient with respect to the function in the direction of the move becomes zero (i.e. if f(x+alpha*p) = g(alpha), then g'(alpha) = del*f(x+alpha*p)^T*p ---> 0 -- therefore the gradient at the position and the step vector,p, are orthogonal to one another.
I believe that something like this needs to presented in the main article; unfortunately, I'm too busy at the moment to sort this out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.222.44.210 (talk) 01:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Category talk:Cricket grounds in the United Kingdom

message: This category was cleared of its three entries about ten days ago during general housekeeping of the WikiProject Cricket categories.  The category is erroneous and misleading because cricket in the British Isles, like soccer and rugby, is controlled by home boards or associations: in cricket terms this means the England & Wales Cricket Board, the Scottish Board and the Irish Cricket Union.  There is no concept of a UK or British organisation or team in cricket.  
The articles about English, Welsh and Scottish grounds are already correctly in their own categories and these in turn are sub-categories of :category:cricket grounds so a UK category is not only erroneous and misleading, it is also superfluous.
Confusion has arisen in the deletion process because I inadvertently used the wrong cfd tag but this has now been corrected.  The proposal was to delete because the category had been empty for over four days as per Categories for Delete/Merge/Rename, Special Case 4.3 and I think I have now corrected this.  
Apologies for not fully understanding the deletion procedures but I spend my time on here creating articles for the benefit of the readers.  --BlackJack | talk page 09:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ecosystem engineer

message: The lede states that ecosystem engineers are animals. However, the autogenic ecosystem engineers type section gives the example of trees. It seems we should make the article more consistent. Also, it currently seems that literally all plants would fall into the category of autogenic ecosystem engineers—is this the widely accepted definition? It almost seems too overly broad to be meaningful Pythagimedes (talk) 23:54, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Animals and plants? 

message: The lead is a bit contradictory or misleading because the first sentence states, "An ecosystem engineer is any animal that creates, significantly modifies, maintains or destroys a habitat," which is a clear definition. However, the sentence after the next states, "As a result, ecosystem engineers are important for maintaining the health and stability of the environment they are living in." An ecosystem engineer is first introduced as an animal that can destroy a habitat, but is that destruction truly destruction if it's beneficial and necessary for maintaining the health and stability of the environment? There is also no intimation of different types of ecosystem engineers, it gives a definition and no transition. This, however, is not necessarily a flaw and does not impede the understanding of an ecosystem engineer.
As for organization, I do feel like importance should either be immediately after the lead or it should be the very last segment. Preferably right after the lead because it discusses the types of ecosystem engineers, then to the importance, then introduced species that are ecosystem engineers. If I were to reorganize it, it would be 1. lead 2. importance 3. types of ecosystem engineers 4. examples 5. introduced species 6. humans as ecosystem engineers. There is a lack of flow and in order to find examples, which I believe quickly and better familiarize the audience with the definition, you have to read till the end of the article.
