Talk:Literary festival

message: I want to know if poetry festivals can be considered literary festivals as well, thank you very much.
:Poetry festivals should be considered literary festivals because they include the discussion and presentation of written literature along with spoken words. Furthermore, I think it would also depend on the activities at the festival.Jzapata95 (talk) 14:58, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  An addition to the list 

message: An anonymous editor with a changing IP address has removed "Lucknow Literature Carnival" from this list repeatedly (17 times to date, if I count correctly), without ever giving a satisfactory reason. We do not have an article on this festival, but the same is true of many other entries on the list, so to remove one selectively seems suspicious – is there a conflict of interest behind this? We need to agree whether red links should be included in this list, and if not (per WP:WTAF) then we need to remove them all. Until consensus can be reached here, this entry should remain on the list and any further attempts to remove it can be construed as vandalism. --Deskford (talk) 22:56, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

:It's a reggae version of Paul Desmond's Take Five.  This song was most famously performed by Dave Brubeck, but I don't know who does the version used by Hunkin here.  You can find something about the original song here .  Another strange thing to note is that the song is backwards - well, what I mean is that the intro music is the end of the song, and the music at the end of the programme is the start of the song.

message: I feel the way this was described as a "series" in three parts was misleading; they were three distinct series produced at different times. In American parlance, these would be "seasons" (U.S. usage is that "series" refers to all related programmes in all seasons).
Also, to me a "part" is more likely to refer to an individual programme.

replies: text: That's how it's done. In the U.S., TV series are tied to a network's broadcast season. In the U.K., each run is defined as a series number.

thread_title:  [[Betyl]] 

message: The article makes it sound as if being a meteorite is one of the prerequisites of being eligible to be called a baetyl. However, many objects referred to as baetyls (particularly many semitic baetyls) are just ordinary terrestrial stone (such as the ones found at Petra). A simple squat pillar of uncarved stone which has cultic veneration (an object of pillar worship) will often be labeled as a baetyl. — al-Shimoni (talk) 19:34, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Right. The Betyl (etymologically, House of God) is just an erected stone that "marks" the presence of the deity in that place. Gazilion (talk) 00:25, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fleshing out some social implications of reassortment 

message: I noticed a recent expansion of this article (diff here) and was interested to see it mentioned that chromosomal crossover contributes to reassortment.  To my understanding, chromosomal crossover occurs exclusively in genetic recombination; I haven't yet seen a discussion about crossover's role in reassortment in academic journals.  Searching for the term "reassortment" in the preview of Albert's Essential Cell Biology provided by Google (see here) shows that reassortment is used in the context of meiosis.  I find that a bit surprising, since academic articles I've read about reassortment and recombination note that the two processes are distinct.  In any event, it is recombination -- particiularly homologous recombination -- that happens in meiosis.  In a very colloquial sense the genetic material shuffling about during meiosis could be said to "reassorted", but I fear that using such language in this article would lead significant misunderstanding among readers.

Talk:Sharpe ratio

message: "Herein lies the weakness of the Sharpe Ratio. Not all asset returns are normally distributed"
"I think this would be better stated thus: Asset returns are not normally distributed."
Normal distributions require events to be independent of each other. Asset trading (the "events" in this case) are not independent of each other. Buy and sell decisions are driven by the market price, which is in turn driven by individual trading decisions. They look like they are normally distributed, but they are not.

On the subject of former members though, I would only mention those who are credited in liner notes, or give details as to each musician's tenure with the band, as is on the Nine Inch Nails article. I also lean towards a comparison between the two; Both bands have essentially been one member doing writing and studio recording duties with backup for tours, except recently having adopted drummers for studio sessions (Shannon Larkin and Dave Grohl respectively).
