Talk:Yang Chengfu

message: I question the assertion that Cheng Man-ch'ing was the first t'ai chi instructor in the West. I don't have the sources at hand, but I believe Sophia Delza was teaching in New York before Professor Cheng, and I would certainly want to research the existence of t'ai chi teachers active in San Francisco before the Professor's arrival here. No slights intended towards Professor Cheng, there's no doubt he was one of the great practitioners.

replies: text: The main article for t'ai chi ch'uan says Choy Hok Pang was the first person known to teach in the US. I couldn't find the references given in that article, but the Nov 1976 issue of Black Belt magazine (page 56, previewable on Google Books) says he taught in San Francisco from the late 30s through the 40s, which supports the content of the wiki article. I also recently created an article for Sophia Delza that makes it clear she taught starting from 1954, which would have been earlier than Professor Cheng. Her book was out in 1961, before he came to America. I'll adjust the phrasing on this article to say he was "one of the first" rather than "the first".

Talk:Prosopography of Anglo-Saxon England

message: On the PASE website under "goodies" there are a list of posters, carrier bags, mousemats and chocolates bearing their logo. However only the chocolate coins are seen as being especially notable enough to warrant a rather fetching photograph of the said coins. And if that is good enough for PASE its good enough for me.The  question is are there any othe racademic bodies that issue chocolate coinage? I once bought a chocolate triceratops from the London Natural History Museum.

thread_title: Chocolate coins

message: I have created a new template, Template:PASE, for making links to the PASE website.
The basic syntax is, for example:
* 
which generates
* 
Other options include cw=1, which gives output formatted via , as
:
which may fit better into some reference lists; or bare=1, which just generates the bare link [], which can then be marked up as desired.
The option accessdate= can also be used to add an access date, eg
:
I think it's probably a good thing to use the template as far as possible, rather then direct links, so that if the preferred URL format ever changes again it is then very straightforward to update all the links in one simple step.  Jheald (talk) 10:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Stalker (Gundam)

message: I think I'm gonna remove this. As I recall, he never is shown to actually interact with him. Domon alone spins around and says something like "Hey, you! Have you seen this man?!" before the picture floats out of his hand. It then cuts back to Stalker, alone again, picking it up and commenting on it. My interpretation was it's highlighting the fact Domon is going around asking everyone if they've seen Kyoji. Hence, he isn't speaking to Stalker but a generic whoever he is asking at the time. Stalker picking up the photo is because his narration then directly addresses it.--HellCat86 (talk) 18:48, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Poncelet's closure theorem

message: The previous version implied that that the elliptic curve could either be viewed as a branched cover of C or of D, with branching over the intersection points in either case. I corrected this, and also added a useful link at MathWorld. Hopefully, I didn't make the article too wordy.
I have also written a blog post on this subject http://sbseminar.wordpress.com/2007/07/16/poncelets-porism/ which I think could be useful, but I'll leave it to more experienced Wikipedians to decide whether this is worth linking to.

Talk:Phosphatidylinositol phosphate

message: I've reverted the re-addition of parent categories since, as described at the bottom of the paragraph at WP:CAT#How to categorize an article, it's usually best to categorise articles in the most specific category available, which in this case is :Category:Phospholipids.  
If you have a look at :Category:Chemistry, for example, you'll notice there are no other articles on specific chemicals at that level: this is because the category would be too enormous to browse if all the chemical were listed that high up.  Hence sub-categories are used instead.  Thanks, Clicketyclack 20:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Millerville, Minnesota

message: Hello,
According to a book written by C M Klein and restated by Helen Joos Cichy:
Millervill was first settled by John Miller in the fall of 1866 and then followed by Johann Lorsung and Constant Cichy also in the fall of 1866.  In 1868 Thomas Dobmeyer came from Barvaria and in 1880 purchased land from John Miller.  In 1873 hs son moved to Millerville and started a mill in 1873-1874.  In 1885 Ferdinand Dobmeyer took control of the mill. Millerville Townshio was orgainzed 11/23/1867.
The Township was named for John A Miller as a name sake----not Dobmeyer who came later.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.20.163.38 (talk) 21:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I replaced the sentence "This rule was originally created by the Federal Communications Commission in 1927, in the Radio Act." with "This rule originated in § 18 of the Radio Act of 1927."
I'm not a communications law expert, but I do know enough to see that this sentence can't be correct.  First, the FCC did not exist in 1927; it was created by the Communications Act of 1934.  The Federal Radio Commission was the closest thing to the FCC in 1927.  Second, the FCC (and the FRC before it) does not enact statutes, and the Radio Act of 1927 is a statute.  Congress enacts statutes.  It could not be that the FCC (or FRC) created anything in the Radio Act.  It could propose modifications to Congress, and may create regulations as empowered by the Act, but is not empowered to modify the Act itself, which only Congress can change.
