Talk:Kim Il Sung University

message: The info box says that there are currently 16,000 students, but the text says that in the 1970s the university was graduating 50,000 students annually. Mathematically, unless there has been a massive student reduction since the '70s, at least one of these numbers has to be wrong. However, I don't know enough about the university to know which one it is in order to correct it. Metheglyn (talk) 23:56, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Richard Parry (musician)

message: I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the vote for deletion, but the article was a stub for quite some time... so I would think the problem was either that no one noticed it before, or the content itself is lacking.  If so, what kind of changes would you like to see?  I think it could be argued that Arcade Fire is slightly more than non-notable, and this is merely a bit more information about one of the key band members... so I'd rather improve the entry than delete it, if I could.

thread_title: WP:MilHist Assessment

message: Re this: "The 21:00 firing was later established as a time signal for the general population and to allow the chronometers of ships in port to be accurately set" - the ship-chronometer thing was the WHOLE reason the gun was emplaced...the Nine O'Clock Gun was the equivalent of Greenwich as far as time in the Pacific goes, and was part of the new system of time zones established by the CPR's Van Horne (I think it was him, or one of the board guys) to coordinate global shipping.  The general populatoin didn't really need a nine-oclock gun, its purpose (and cost) was entirely about shipping and vessels....I think that's in Morley's book, also most likely in Mathews' too.Skookum1 (talk)
:Sounds good since you have the RS. I have emailed both Chevron and Esso to source the rock shot material. There is a Chevron station there now but the material says Esso. I was at HMCS Discovery at Deadman's Island when I first heard about it. I was told the cadet unit loaded the gun each day. It may be parks Van now but that needs sourcing to add as well. Heritage Horns has some gaps. I don't know when they got that name and emailed the relatives of Les Southwell to get a better source for his input. No response in months.

Talk:Quantum sort

message: Speedy deletion reason by :User:WAS_4.250:
:No source listed. No source found when I searched. This is a dictionary definition with an unprovable assertion as the Quantum computer does not exist and the Quantum algoritm does not exist.
I removed this deletion tag because I don't think an article that has already been AfD'd twice can be subjected to a speedy delete.
Unprovable or not, remember that our criterion is verifiability, not truth.  It looks like there is sufficient source material to build a decent article on this concept, regardless of whether such a thing will ever actually be constructed. ~ Booya Bazooka 14:40, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Non-existence 

message: I can't believe I'm the only person to have thought of this, but every time I explain it physicists start edging away from me.  Quantum sorting is in fact very swift and very simple.  All one has to do is randomly rearrange your items to be sorted using some kind of seed derived from an interaction in quantum dynamics (like radioactive decay noise).  If the randomly rearranged items are not in order, destroy the universe*.  Due to the branching of universes, at least one universe will now exist in which the items are in order.  Naturally, as this constitutes original research, for which I undoubtedly deserve some sort of prize, I shall not be adding it to the article.

Talk:Isotropy

message: I don't thing it is appropriate. The concepts are distinct and the names are distinct. Isotropic is a global property of a tensor field, saying that it is everywhere a scalar. For one thing, rotational invariance is more vague, e.g. one can say that f(x,y) is rotationally invariant if f(x,y) = g(x^2 + y^2) for some g. I don't think people would use "isotropic" for this.

message: There needs to be somewhere in Wikipedia that cubic crystals are optically (and electrically) isotropic.  Since the polarizabililty tensor is diagonal with all elements equal, so will any rotation of it. In common usage, this is the reason to use cubic zirconia (instead of hexagonal, optically anisotropic and so birefringent zirconia) in jewelry. Also, a solid cube has the same moment of inertial around any axis through the center, for the same reason. Gah4 (talk) 00:46, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Searches for Noah's Ark

message: I think that the 20thC section of the article would benefit from a reference to British archaeologist David Rohl's view on where Noah's ark, whether real or mythical, might have landed.  He devotes 7 pages of his book 'Legend (The Genesis of Civilisation)' to the issue (pages 146 to 152).  I consider it important to record his view that Mount Ararat is a relatively 'modern' misidentification.  In addition, Rohl is a professional archaeologist - in contrast to many others whose views are reported in the article.  The final sentence of his conclusion on page 152 of his book is: "The peak of Judi Dagh, bordering upon the Mesopotamian lowlands in the region later known as Assyria is, in fact the original traditional site of the ark's landing as stated by numerous early authorities."  This seems to me to be an entirely unobjectionable statement.  (P.S. I am not an American evangelistic fundamentalist!) Abutlwer (talk) 21:01, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello. In its current form, the view cannot remain in the article. The wording lacks NPOV. What evidence was presented and according to whom his argument is "convincing"? As another editor pointed out, you need a reliable and independent secondary source so that there can be an objective analysis of this view, if there are any out there. StephenMacky1 (talk) 21:27, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: So what do you suggest?  Rohl's book is not a 'popular' work.  If I send you a PDF of the pages, will you be able to read them and suggest a suitable draft?  Many thanks.  Note that I have omitted 'convincing' from the talk above! Abutlwer (talk) 22:03, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: We need sources discussing his work,  not his own statements. If there aren't any then we don't mention Rohl. See WP:Fringe Doug Weller talk 09:45, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

text: @Abutlwer He is not a professional archaeologist at all, he only has a  BA in Ancient History and Egyptology. And as I said in my edit summary, he is fringe. Noah is a myth, there was no Ark. Doug Weller talk 21:55, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: You really should be using your account you know. It's cowardly to logout to comment. Or are you blocked? Rohl's claim to have the BA is probably correct, lying about it wouldn't work.

Talk:Battle of Angamos

message: The article originally stated than the Huascar's crew surrender to the Chilean boarding party, an this is incorrect, the remaining officers launch their weapons and the war flag of the ship into the sea tied with a cannon ball precisely to prevent being used by the Chilean boarding party as a proof of the surrender of the ship. The execution of the scuttling order was also an indicator of the crew's intention of never surrender the vessel. Greetings --Cloudaoc (talk) 23:56, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: About the capture of the Huascar

message: the Huascar had to be eliminated along with Admiral Grau. Where does the belief that admiral Grau had to be eliminated comes from? I doubt it is based in any Historic records or texts... (IP User)
*The Primary Goal of the Chilean Navy during the war of the Pacific was to achieve supremacy in the sea. The ironclad Huascar along with Admiral Grau was a terrible obstacle to those plans. Revolledo was removed from his post as commander of the Chilean Navy because he had failed to terminate that peruvian threat. Sotomayor, the next offices, was the mastermind behind the ambush in Angamos. You can look on chilean records, and you will find that that was the main idea. Messhermit 14:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Both Huascar and his admiral were a menace to the chilean war effort. Messhermit 20:41, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, if the objective was to achieve naval supremacy, the Chilean Navy has to eliminate the threat that the Huascar and Grau represented. This doesn't necessary means to kill Grau (capturing him and capture or sink the Huascar could be reasonable alternatives). Chilean history books have a great opinion about Grau: not only his tactical genius and sagacity is recognised but also his high moral stature when he helped the survivors of the Esmeralda in Iquique and due the fact he personally wrote Prat's widow and arranged to send Prat's personal things to her. baloo_rch 03:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

JesseG 03:59, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
:As such, I question whether including such a large section (relativevto the article length) about Cedar Rapids is really neccessary. They weren't the first to adopt it, nor were they the largest city to have the form when it was dropped. It really seems extraneous, and more appropriate for the Cedar Rapids article. It'd be more useful to mention when Gavelston dropped it, I believe. I'll wait to delete the section for comment, though.oknazevad (talk) 02:29, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

::The Japanese wiki article doesn't identify Jaken as anything, which it probably would if he was as popular a creature as a kappa is. He also seems to lack a kappa's distinctive head-plate and affinity for the water. If you wanted to guess at what popular beastie he is, he could just as easily be a ko-tengu, despite the lack of wings. I think he's just something Takahashi made up.
