Talk:HMS Australia (1886)

message: I've been poking around - there's plenty of references to HMAS Australia (1911) as HMS Australia, and one note saying it was taken into RN service and would actually have been HMS for a while - was this the case, does anyone know?
Named after the nation Australia????! None existed in 1888!
:Moved the page, Colledge lists her as being launched in 1886.  Also only one HMS Australia listed, this one, and I'd say that was pretty definitive.  No Australia in 1888?  What's that about? Benea 15:53, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cosina

message: A very rough start. I know that there are much fewer links than are normal in a Wikipedia article, but it seemed a waste of time to insert these before the article stabilizes a little.
Incidentally, I think any info about the "Voigtländer"-branded products designed, created and (in Japan) marketed by Cosina should go in this article rather than the one on Voigtländer.

message: "ZF is a new range of interchangeable lenses for Nikon SLR cameras, both analog and digital. ZF lenses bring the highly acclaimed Carl Zeiss image quality to the Nikon SLR camera system, which has been the preferred equipment of millions of professional and ambitious amateur photographers for decades." were cut'n'paste from the zeiss zf marketing web page.
The "jump into notoriety" is inappropriate in the context of CZ ZF lenses. Notorious implies something negative while these lenses are extremely highly regarded.

message: You write: 
"During the late 1970s, Cosina made a name for itself in 35 mm rangefinder cameras with a well-built, high quality fixed-lens camera using an aluminum body and a simple shutter-priority autoexposure system. This rangefinder camera was adopted as the basic chassis for several excellent camera models, including the Konica Auto S3, Minolta 7sII, Revue 400se, Prinz 35ER, and Vivitar 35ES."
Most of the cameras cited in the last sentence of the above quote came out in the early 1970s. And the chassis mentioned actually came from the late 1960 (the 1968 Konica C35, for example). Given this, they could hardly be based on a Cosina camera of the LATE 1970s.

Talk:Gaussian integral

message: I see many useful results and formulae in the multivariate case, but there are no references to textbooks or other published material where to find the proofs! Can someone add references?
Someone in the talk above says that some results are "standard textbook material". Well, then provide a reference to a standard textbook. Someone else says "you can easily derive such and such by...": again, give references to literature!
Remember that this is a Wikipedia article: a starting point, not a self-contained book or paper.

message: Whereas it says under the heading Proof by complex integral that ″A proof also exists using Cauchy's integral theorem″, I haven't seen one and have read the contrary: ″On the other hand, quite simple definite integrals exist whch cannot be evaluated by Cauchy's method, \int_0^\infty \mathrm e^{-x^2}\;\mathrm d x being a case in point.″ E.

Talk:Return to Paradise (Styx album)

message: I've included this album (along with Caught in the Act) in the main Styx chronology even though WP:ALBUM#Chronology suggests that live albums not be included in the main chronology for a group.  I'd argue that these two albums in particular belong in the main chronology because they have significant studio cuts / singles on them and they are historically important to the band's main album releases.  The significant amount of subsequent live albums (some of which are compilations of each other) seem less significant and I've included those in the Styx Compilation albums chronology.

Talk:Chorale prelude

message: It is curious that the function of chorale preludes is not fully and definitively known.  Certainly Sweelinck was required to write such in order to familiarise the congregation with hymn melodies.  This much is known, but how exactly the chorale prelude was used in the liturgy seems far less certain.  If it was used to introduce the hymn to be sung, then some congregations on certain days would be waiting a very long time - such as O Mensch bewein by JS Bach (Good Friday).  Certainly if you go to major parish churches in Germany today, the organist will begin with a flourish, sometimes perceptibly based on the upcoming hymn to be sung, at the end  of which the congregation automatically starts to sing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.59.159 (talk) 15:52, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Androcracy

message: Article should mention that the term was coined by Riane Eisler in The Chalice & The Blade, 1987, HarperCollins, p105
I'm not aware of any controversy about "gynocracy". I imagine there are a few well-documented cases of Amazons and such.
There is a controversy is about whether perhaps neither gender dominated the social organization of ancient cultures.
If we had a partnership model we wouldn't need the social programs cited by the article. IMO to cite "defunding" misses the point.

message: The definition, as given, seems to be exactly the same as the definition of patriarchy. Basically, both seem to be "rule by men", when in fact, Patriarchy should probably be "rule by fathers" & androcracy would seem to be rule by men. In fact, a true androcracy would seem to be rule by men FOR men, it not being merely enough that those who wield power are men, but that they rule for the benefit of the other men, possibly at the expense of females. I doubt a true androcracy has ever existed. Even in ancient societies women often had control over male slaves and male children, and it's almost laughable to posit that many male rulers cared more for the opinions or needs of the lowest born/poorest males of their societies rather than the ladies of their courts.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.200.70 (talk) 05:04, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
