Talk:Left Behind: The Kids

message: Hello. I added an in-universe tag since the article is written from that perspective and would therefore make no sense to anyone not invested in the series. It is also problematic because it does not present events of the books in an unbiased fashion. "Everyone was first irritated, and then quiet as he told all present the truth—that Jesus had loved them enough to die for them and He wanted everyone to accept His gift of grace and eternal life." "Spreading the message?" Ugh. Edited, but there are tons more like this. I eliminated a few other choice bits and added spaces after commas but honestly editing this would take forever and I don't want to invest in this train wreck of an article. It also needs to be wikified (I didn't tag because there are too many that could apply to this page already) including some SERIOUS copyediting from a basic standpoint and to avoid bias. For example, capitalizing He and Him at every turn is grammatically wrong and is religious bias. I also tagged because it has naught but primary sources. You can find tons of glowing reviews on Christian sites and interviews with the writers about the series. Go toss those in here to make it more than just a list of books and plot/character descriptions that reek of Christian bias and mean nothing to those not invested in the books. In other words, an encyclopedia article rather than a fan page. Teddywithfangs  —Preceding undated comment added 16:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Thomas Watson (poet)

message: A theory held by some is that Shake-Speare's sonnets were dedicated to Thomas Watson. This rests on the idea that they originally, before being 'bundled up' by Thomas Thorp, comprised 150 sonnets in two volumes.(nos. 153, 154 being about Cupid, and scanning differently; 138 and 144 are taken from "The Passionate Pilgrim" and so published as part of this in 1599 by Jaggard).
Evidence for this lies in the acrostic embedded in sonnet 76, the first of volume two, published (in manuscript) long after the first.
This acrostic is in bracket form to indicate that the initial letters of only lines 4 to 9 are employed.The acrostic is imperfect in that the initial ' T ' is duplicated when reading down, and that the silent 'k' in 'known'is omitted: "To T WATSO[k]n".
However, there is no known connection between Wiliam Shakespeare and Thomas Watson, except that both were famous for sonnets, and the acrostic is thought to be a mere coincidence by most.An intriguing additional fact is that Shakespeare's sonnet no. 150 was included in Thomas Watson's "The Teares of Fancie" 1593, published posthumously the year after Watson's death.Colcestrian 22:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wilhelm Jordan (geodesist)

message: I think the list of Dr. Jordan's achievements are likely incorrect.  The concept of stability of a numerical procedure did not exist during his life, so it could not be the reason for the invention of the Gauss-Jordan method.  Gaussian elimination had long been used to solve the normal equations without difficulty, so it is wrong to say his work enabled the use of least squares to solve the geodetic angle adjustment problem.  For example, least squares was used before 1858 on the Ordnance Survey of the British Isles.  Finally, I have paged through volume 1 of the 1895 edition of his book and I do not see Gauss-Jordan elimination there, so it is not clear to me that he was the originator.  By the way, Gauss certainly was not. Jfgrcar (talk) 05:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
