Talk:Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Tallinn

message: I found the rather POV sentence about ANC in the article on Toompea: "Though the cathedral is cordially disliked by many Estonians as a reminder of Russian hegemony, it has been meticulously restored since Estonian independence." Instead of deleting it outright without any traces (IMHO right thing to do there), I moved it from the Toompea article into the current one, which at least is a somewhat more relevant place for an arguably rather POV text. Next version will have the more POV words rephrased. Cheers, --3 Löwi 13:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have rephrased this section slightly and hope it meeets with everyones approval. Every guidebook I have seen has mentioned that local estonians dislike the cathedral and its constant use as a symbol of Tallinn in foreign publications. They consider its placement provocative. I added the section about the lack of funds preventing demolition as I remember it from a historical plaque near the cathedral. It also something about the inability of demolishing the cathedral without damaging other buildings due to the use of reinforced concrete and the fact that explosives would have been necessary in the 1920'sBenvenuto (talk) 07:32, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Deletion 

message: Just wondering, having stumbled upon this article: am I quite unjustified in suspecting that the name of "Professor Niemand" is in part a play on Bernhard Riemann's name? Riemann, after all, was the founder of Riemannian geometry, and what's more, he states in his seminal "On the Hypotheses which lie at the Bases of Geometry", in the introductory passage, that the Elements of Euclid are not, in fact, the proper elements of geometry, and that at the foundations of geometry there are things which Euclid simply takes for granted and does not examine at all. This would not be to suggest that Carroll was somehow opposed to Riemann but rather that, whatever his acquaintance with non-Euclidean geometry, he might have had some notion that there was a professor Riemann saying such things and thought the pun apposite.--Rallette (talk) 09:51, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

message: Literally never heard of Luk Chin for half-Thai half-Chinese?
According to the linked Thai Chinese page, it was used for the cases of early Chinese immigration.
If so, it feels like its fallen out of modern usage, having since been eclipsed by the wider ไทยเชื้อสายจีน.
Should be contextualized as a historic term, or provide additional context if its still in use in certain circles (that I'm unaware of), or removed entirely I think.

message: When was Jean Ribault born?
Note on my revision. Matanzas means massacres, not slaughters. "Slaughter," while fairly descriptive of what happened is too similar to the German word Schlacht which means "battle." This was not a battle. It was a massacre of unarmed and bound prisoners of war. Even so, whoever did the 1-14-08 update did a good job of filling in a lot of details. I just added more detail.

:"Two versions charted in the US that year. There was the reissue of the 1965 original Righteous Brothers single which received a lot of airplay, but sales were minimal since it was only available as a 45 RPM single."
I find it incredibly hard to believe in 1990, the record company worked to capitolize on "Ghost" by reissuing the 1965 original and when they cut it, it was only released on a 45. Can any of you confirm/deny this? Seems highly dubious to me as in 1990 I still walked into music stores multiple times a week and not once did I see a single 45 for sale (these were only for sale at flea markets or Goodwill).

Talk:Beyond the Sun

message: I put notes at the top of the two pages concerned (Beyond the Sun (Bernice Summerfield), Inside the Spaceship) rather than creating a disambiguation page like this one based on advice at Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation_links. Bondegezou 14:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Right, but in this case, a person wouldn't be typing "Beyond the Sun (Bernice Summerfield)". They'd be typing "Beyond the Sun", period, so the disambig link on the Benny book isn't particularly necessary. And yet, a person could type in "Beyond the Sun" expecting the Benny book and get Inside the Spaceship instead. There are two ways to go here: one, place the disambig link on Inside the Spaceship only, or create the disambig page so that people who are looking either for the Benny book or the Doctor Who serial are made aware of both in one go. That was the rationale behind my choice to create the disambig page instead. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 14:35, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Notes

message: Obviously any sort rules are fine as long as they're consistent. So, for the sake of consistency, I'll described the sort rules I just applied (I largely inferred them from past sorting):
* Ignore index of, outline of, and list of. I moved them to the end (e.g. "medications, list of") but removing them would have the same effect. Keep timeline of.
* Remove adjectives like important.
* In most cases, remove adjectival forms of psychology (e.g. psychology disciplines becomes disciplines); psychology is implied by this being the psychology list category.
**RARE: Where adjectival forms of psychiatry are entirely interchangeable with adjectival forms of psychology, remove it. The only instances of this currently are psychiatric medications which became medications. All psychiatric medications could also be described as psychological medications.
*Remove any irrelevant nouns - some lists will actually cover multiple topics, some of which are irrelevant to psychology.
The only one that I couldn't figure out the approach to was List of Russian physicians and psychologists. I decided to sort it under Russian psychologists, but I was equally as happy with it sorting to Psychologists, Russian under the concept that if we had a list like this for each country, you'd want them all to be together. But with just one, I can also see that people may look under Russia for Russia-related lists. If someone else commits to one, or decides to change the "rules" in some other way, then please comment and describe  them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xurizuri (talk • contribs) 23:48, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

I think the phrase, "Goldsborough's characters are very similar, with one extremely important exception: they live in modern times, not the Great Depression" should instead be something like this:
"Goldsborough's characters are very similar, and Goldsborough has them never age, just as did Stout, even though all the Nero Wolfe books take place at the time they are written.  So, Nero Wolfe is about 50 in every story and Archie Goodwin is about 30 in every story, even though the earlier written stories took place in the Depression, the later written stories occurred during WWII, still later written stories occurred during the immediate post WW II time frame, and so on."

replies: text: This is just a technicality, but since we're talking about math, you're absolutely right and it should be fixed.  When people refer to the majorization partial order (in my limited experience), they treat the objects as sets rather than vectors...which is pretty much what the definition does anyway since the ordering of elements in the vector is irrelevant.  So {0, 1} majorizes {1, 0} but these are equal so that doesn't violate antisymmetry. --Nethgirb 08:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
