Talk:Accounting standard

message: Removed some of the American triumphantlism.  Also the link between accounting practice and the Asia financial crisis is not that clear.  Hong Kong and Singapore were hit hard despite have good accounting standards, while Mainland China was relatively immune despite have a mess in accounting.
Accounting standard is a science coming from business practice and its main purpose is to provide internal business information. If business or marketing economic is same around the world, then the accounting methods will go to consistency whatever its in US or in China. Profit and international development of a business will lead to accounting to be more helpful and useful to shareholder and relevent interest entities, as well as its standard evolvement.
The chapter "limitations" needs a re-draft. The sentence "Accounting standards were largely written in the early 21st century" seems wrong in this generality. The word "despite" in the next sentence relates to the first sentence in an unclear way.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.92.76.69 (talk) 09:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

message: Request to change British to British and Irish.
Peter O'Toole was a man who was immensely proud of his Irish heritage as demonstrated when he  told American chat show host Charlie Rose that his Irish identity was "almost the center of my being" in a touching interview that highlighted how important his Irish identity was to him.
I believe it is doing a disservice to Peter O'toole to ignore his claim to being irish. Ignoring this is ignoring what he referred to as the "Centre of my being". Please conscider this edit.

message: MOS Technology Inc published a Datasheet for their 650X processors in 1975. Wilson did not create the ISA for the BBC Micro.

Do not edit war over this.
Wilson was very important within Acorn Computers Ltd. Other people who were in Acorn have differing recollections about Roger Wilson being the only person doing the work. They remember the development of the BBC micro involving a diverse group of people. There is a list of people involved within the ROM chip in the BBC micro. Roger Wilson is one of those named.
It is rare for a computer processor to be designed by one person alone. This is not one of those cases.

Talk:Containerization

message: I've added a citation for "Ever since American President Lines initiated in 1984 a dedicated double-stack container train service between Los Angeles and Chicago, transport volumes increased rapidly." The citation is a military thesis paper, which itself references an issue of Railway Age ("Malone. F.. "Double-Stacks: What's Next?" Railway Age, v. 186. pp. 36-39, Mav 1986.") as the relevant source. On checking WP:SAYWHEREYOUREADIT, I assumed I'd need to include both in the citation. However, I could not find a way to do so using the citation wizard, and while looking up the proper way to format such a thing, I found further discussion about such things that said one should put only the part of the citation directly viewed. (Alas, I've since lost the link to that page.) In the event that said discussion was out of date or otherwise incorrect - well, above is the information as to how it can be fixed, for the future reference of myself or others.
I did go hunting for that particular issue of Railway Age online, but couldn't find a digital copy of it that I could access, nor did I see a copy in any of the several collections I couldn't access (based on their listing of available works). I believe there would be a copy available to anyone subscribed to Railway Age with access to their full online archive. Cdrch (talk) 14:56, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Considering that the eagle-owl, formally Eurasian eagle-owl, is the type species, and that all but two or three species of the traditional genus Bubo are called eagle-owls, I'm wondering why the article has the name "horned owl".

replies: text: The name "eagle-owl" isn't exclusive to countries outside North America. I'm American and my National Geographic book on birds (which is written in American English) calls them eagle-owls instead of horned owls, likely because of how awkward it is to call the genus horned owls when the Snowy Owl lacks "horns." But to avoid any arguments between the two terms, I think calling this article Bubo or Bubo (genus) would be better. --Evice (talk) 17:09, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Emphasis mine. Kylesenior (talk) 04:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As a former gun crew member with 3rd Armored Division, I would point out that the warhead had a "fail-safe" mechanism. - a 7 digit combination lock, middle digit "0" over the arming mechanism. We were split into 2 teams, and each team having access to only half the combination. The combination would only be available once the president released the weapons and we would receive a message to decode for the combination. We only had one warhead and it was stored in separate ammo dump from non-nuclear munitions. Additionally, attempting to remove the combination lock by force would have seriously damaged the fiberglass outer shell of the warhead. We were told that the reason the weapon was being phased out was because of disarmament talks. As for accuracy, we were always able to get direct hits on the target during annual test firings. Besides, as we used to say, "almost only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and atom bombs." 2600:1702:4A40:870:97:7CB:F347:D05E (talk) 18:26, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Existential quantification

message: Someone may just want to find a simple description of existential quantifier.  It may be a overkill to direct the reader to the article "existential quantification". -- User:Wshun
How do you learn about a symbol without knowing what it means?
The existential quantifier (what you call the symbol) is not a mathematical concept; existential quantification is.
This isn't MathWorld, thank goodness; we're not writing a dictionary, and we don't have a separate article on every variation in terminology.
OTOH, you've started material related to uniqueness quantification, so I'd better start that article!
-- Toby Bartels 02:52 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Feel free to redirect it to existential quantification, but please explain what an existential quantifier is in that article in a way that the explanation is easy to locate.
I did not start uniqueness quantification.  You can read the history of this article. wshun 03:18 25 Jul 2003 (UTC)
You're right, I have Poor Yorick to thank for stimulating me into action.
Looking over the quantification articles just now, I think that they're too unwieldy, and in even worse ways than not being able to find these variant terms easily.
I need to go to bed now and will be gone for a couple of days, but Sunday I plan to rearrange all of these articles to make everything easier to find.

thread_title:  overkill 

message: In the "Basics" sections, it is stated that
"For some odd number n, n·n = 25"
is logically equivalent to
"For some natural number n, n is odd and n·n = 25".
But isn't that false, because the second statement introduces an unnecessary restriction on n, namely that it be positive?  An "odd number" can be negative, but a "natural number" which is also odd cannot.
I'm going to change the first statement to specify that the n in question should be positive.  I would change the second, but it'd be best to leave the language of that one just as it is, as it's used later in the article (or something very close to it is, rather).

... Paul Reichler, a partner at the law firm Foley Hoag, a pre-eminent international-law firm. ...Mr Reichler is well placed to weigh in, as he also served as counsel for Nicaragua in a famous case against America in the mid-1980s when the superpower simply waved off an ICJ decision. 
"Decisions, judgments and awards by international courts and tribunals are complied with in more than 95% of the cases, including by big powers such as the United States," Mr Reichler wrote back. In Nicaragua the US, he noted, had in fact complied with the court's order to stop mining Nicaragua's harbours, and while it had not officially complied with the order on reparations, the judgment helped prod Congress to cut off funding for the Contras. Furthermore, "the US has appeared in more ICJ cases than any other state. In all but two, it has fully complied with the ICJ's rulings, even when it has lost." (The other case in which America failed to comply was an ICJ ruling blocking the execution of a Mexican national in Texas; America's federal government accepted the ruling, but the state government of Texas ignored it.)
