Talk:Historical Japanese name

message: The Ryukyans, being vassals of the Chinese empires and was influenced more by the Chinese high culture rather than that of Japanese Shintoism, have names similar in form to those of the Chinese.
In feudal Japan, names reflected a person's social status.
They also reflect a person's affiliation to Buddhist, Shinto, feudatory-military, Confucian-scholarly, mercantile, peasant, slave and imperial orders.
Before feudal times, markers of clans, tribes were obvious features.
Historically, a Japanese person could maintain several names to use in different occasions.

message: It is incorrect to say that the French "forte" and the Italian "forte" are false cognates, as they both derive from the Latin "fortis", meaning strong (as is actually explained in the Wiktionary entry).

:Did Niven actually title one of his stories "Flash Crowd"?
His collection titled A Hole In Space (copyright 1974) contains two stories
on this topic, but neither is titled "Flash Crowd" in the collection.
They are:
	1. "The Alibi Machine", published in Vertex, 1973.

thread_title: Untitled

message: People keep adding content to the flash mob and flash crowd entries stating that the concept of "flash crowds" created by Larry Niven is equivalent to the concept of "flash mobs." 
These concepts are very different: news events draw people to flash crowds, messages passed around for the sole sake of starting flash mobs draw people to flash mobs.  Flash crowds are enabled and encouraged by teleportation, this is obviously not the case with flash mobs. Flash crowds are spontaneous and aren't sparked by an organizer; flash mobs (or at least, their initiation) are planned ahead. The "flash" in flash mobs indicates quick gathering, short duration, quick dispersal; the "flash" in flash crowds indicates instantaneous speed of travel to a place.  Flash crowds in the story lasted a long time, flash mobs by definition are very short, usually less than 20 minutes long.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheesebikini (talk • contribs) 
Yes, both terms contain the word "flash" and both involve groups of people, but they're very different concepts and claims that they're equivalent are factual errors.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheesebikini (talk • contribs) 
If someone can provide a notable third party document, study, or analytical comparison that links flash mobs to flash crowds, then please do so, otherwise it should be dismissed as original research. Frankly they have very little in common aside from the fact that people assemble rapidly -- but then again, so do lots of other words share that similarity: stampede, swarm, etc. etc. Mkdwtalk 07:25, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

I am about to do a total rewrite of this page using the info previously provided, plus anything that comes to mind. It's currently all over the place and many things could be restated more cleanly.
And I'm afraid this requires taking a hatchet to the strangling vine that is Frank Grimes. I understand that his entry was moved here because a one-episode character didn't require his own page and I agree with that. But he also doesn't require the massive entry that remains on this page.
Thoughts are welcome, and the Page History can be checked if anything is accidentally omitted.

I have my questions about the correctness\\\hi hey hola of one of statements in the article. it is said, that in France the government is chosen by the President instead of Parliament. However, France also is subject to possible Cohabitation, if the President is of another party than the Prime Minister (such as in Chirac's last term). How is this possible if the President choses the government?
wlievens 22:03 Dec 4, 2003 (CET)
:I would presume that the President needs to pick someone who is acceptable to Parliament, regardless of their own personal wishes. So sometimes they need to pick a political opponent. Timrollpickering 13:27, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed.  And there have frequently been coalition governments in France both on the left and the right, in the sense of ministers coming from different parties, so as to ensure majority support. Meanwhile in Malta, which has one of the most PR electoral systems possible, coalition goverment is unknown in recent years even though the government frequently changes hands.

thread_title:  Algorithms 

message: One argument in favor of coalition governments is that they can think on the long term. They will take longer to reach a decision but once it is taken, it is no going to be reversed by the next government, thus allowing long term planning.

D.Lazard (talk) 11:07, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Layout 

message: There is an additional issue in the taxonomy diagram, which is closely related to the one already posted above. Basically, complex skew symmetric matrices also need not be normal. For example, consider the following matrix 
C = ((0, -i, -1-i),(i, 0 ,0), (1+i, 0, 0)) 
It is skew symmetric since C^T = -C (where ^T denotes the transpose). However, it is not normal, since C(C^H) does not give the same as (C^H)C (where ^H denotes the conjugate transpose).
Therefore, I think the arrow from skew symmetric to normal should be erased. Eseabrook (talk) 22:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

message: It's highly questionable, I think, whether it is true to say that RDF "... makes a particularly good navigation system for ships, small boats, and aircraft that might be some distance from their destination." Certainly, in the context of small boat navigation, it was never more than a short-medium range navigation aid, whose range was limited to (usually) less than 100 miles and whose accuracy was such that even at ranges of a few tens of miles, its practical value was extremely limited. It was cheap and reasonably easy to integrate with traditional navigation techniques, so until the late 70's/early 80's, many/most seagoing small craft carried an RDF receiver. But it was largely a device of last resort, and was quickly rendered obsolete by hyperbolic systems such as Decca and Loran and (later) by GPS.
