text: In Germany it is used also in public media and in academic articles. If you see the literature it's written there in german, as a title for  an article which uses in a political science journal. So in german academic area it is really used. --Japan01 02:51, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map 

message: Is this map accurate?  the image goes through just part of Iran, which I understand is almost entirely shia, then through northern/kurdish iraq, which is mostly sunni while southern iraq is the predominately shia area.  Then it hits syria, which i understand is only like ~1/5 shia and lebanon which is 1/4-1/3 or so both with populations of shias more heavily concentrated in the south.  Seems a bit misleading to me but I am certainly no expert on the topic. -- InspectorTiger (talk) 14:38, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Accuracy?

message: I'd added "Shiite Crescent" as an alternative spelling to the lead because it has a significantly larger net presence than "Shia Crescent".  Anyone searching for further info via Google will have a lot more luck using Shiite; specifically 499 News hits vs. 67 for Shia.  Not so impressive searching on Web, with 48k vs.33k, but still it's ahead.

Talk:Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout

message: Created a page for Snake River Fine-Spotted Cutthroat Trout, reference was requested, I supplied, but the unreferenced entry is still on with the notation of no reference.  Que pasa?
I removed a sentence saying they are the only cutthroat trout with a vertebrate diet and therefore their territorial waters are almost of whitefish. No citation was given. However, for example the Grey's River (a tributary of the Snake in WY) has healthy populations of both occurring together, and whitefish widely occur along with piscivorous trout.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:600:9A7F:C820:D933:84F5:CCE2:9B58 (talk) 19:02, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Corrado Bafile

message: Hi there.  I was looking at pictures of Coats of Arms, and I saw this picture of Cardinal Bafile's http://www.araldicavaticana.com/bafile_corrado.htm.  It looks weird; the hat isn't suspended over the Archiepiscopal Cross, but it's hanging off one of the transepts.  The shield is crooked, and the galero's fiocchi aren't even.  Anyone know why it's weird like that?
I wondered if it was due to irregularities with his Cardinalate, but apparently there isn't anything unusual.  He wasn't a Cardinal in Pectore or anything else out of the ordinary.  So does anyone know why it's like that?

Talk:D. Allan Bromley

message: I've deleted this from the lead. Although this is probably literally true, depending on the meaning of "had" and "publications," it is POV, and gives the article the character of a PR bio or the dust jacket blurb on a book. Bromley's scientific career was from 1952 to 1989. (After 1989 he was in politics and then scientific administration, but was not actively doing research.) During this period of 37 years, to publish 500 papers he would have had to publish more than one paper a month. This is obviously impossible. In fact his name was on the vast majority of these papers because, as director of WNSL at Yale, he used his political power to get his name put on every paper that came out of the lab, whether he contributed to the science or not.--75.83.69.196 (talk) 03:40, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Bitruncation

message: The first paragraph says:
:In solid geometry, a bitruncation is an operation on regular polytopes. It represents a truncation beyond rectification. The original edges are lost completely and the original faces remain as smaller copies of themselves. (emphasis mine)
This last sentence is wrong: the original facets of the bitruncated n-polytope become their respective duals. Of course, in polyhedra, dual faces happen to be the same as the faces themselves, but this is not true in general. Now I realize that this paragraph is talking about solid geometry, i.e., 3D geometry; that's why I'm putting off correcting it. But I do think we should make the change, since this page is linked to from the polychora pages.—Tetracube 15:26, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the look! I believe what I wrote is correct for n-polytope faces, although not facets. Consider boh polyhedron table bitruncation=truncated dual Uniform_polyhedron#Convex_forms_and_fundamental_vertex_arrangements, and polychoron/honeycombs like Bitruncated_cubic_honeycomb - the original faces exist as smaller copies in both dimensions. Tom Ruen 19:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Here's a quick test sequence of truncations from a cube to a birectified cube (octahedron). :Image:Birectified_cube_sequence.png. Rectifying reduces edges to points. Birectifying reduces faces to points. (Trirectifying reduces cells to points, etc). Truncation is "half rectified". Bitruncation is between rectified and birecified. Tritruncated is between birectified and trirectified. Do you disagree with this? Tom Ruen 19:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ack. Not another instance of confusion between face and facet. Makes me want to avoid using face at all, for being overloaded with incompatible meanings. Anyways... for polyhedra, it happens to be true that the original faces become smaller versions of themselves—but actually, if you look at the way they're being truncated, they're actually becoming their duals, except that the dual of a polygon is itself, therefore it's equivalent to a smaller version of themselves. In higher dimensions, the dual of a facet is in general not the same as itself. But if you're talking about 2-faces, then I suppose the statement is correct, but I still think that it's more accurate to express it in terms of duals, because orientation-wise that's more accurate. (Look at the orientation of the squares in your diagram: they are actually dual to the faces of the original cube. Ditto with the triangular faces of the octahedron.)—Tetracube 17:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

text: You're right about about polygon faces becoming their own duals. I figured best to keep it simple and neglect that technical difference, although there is a re-orientation. I'm happy if you want to edit any of these operation articles for clarity and correctness. Much improvement possible I'm SURE. I added now mainly because cool to show self-duals bitruncated {p,q,p} form cell-uniform polytopes/honeycombs, and a first step into "hyperbolic honeycombs". Tom Ruen 23:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: D. Pingree is known for propounding his theory of "unoriginality" of the Indian science of astronomy (jyotiṣa), the majority of this science rests, according to his preference, solely on foreign concepts. He claimed that all in early Indian astronomy came from Babylonia even in the absence of any evidence for this thesis. This theory of unoriginality is highly debated amongst scholars and many of his arguments have been dismissed. K. S. Shukla for example, points out Pingree’s free and incorrect amendations to the manuscript of the Yavanajātaka, which Pingree believed to be highly corrupted.Bill Mak (Kyoto University), The transmission of Greek astral science to India reconsidered - Critical remarks on the contents and the newly discovered manuscript of the Yavanajātaka.
