Talk:Public Interest Watch

message: Levin flagged the move by the U.S. Department of Justice to sue Greenpeace for the April 2002 boarding of a cargo ship approaching Miami that was laden with timber from the Brazilian rainforests. Without skipping a beat, Levin conflated Greenpeace’s peaceful protest with ecoterrorism which, he argued, justified an IRS crackdown. "Prosecuting ecoterrorists has proved difficult; they have a "cell" structure and lack centralized leaderships or membership rosters. But this is precisely why it is critically important that the IRS does its part to immobilize ecoterror groups by investigating how moneys flow through tax-exempt organizations to affiliates," he wrote. - one full paragraph of whining about Levin remains in the article, this second one removed, again let's stick to PIW 
Bandow also complained that PIW's claims only prompted a dozen stories but found some soalce in the conservative media. "The only thorough rendering was written by tireless columnist Deroy Murdock at National Review Online," he wrote. As with most of the other media coverage, Murdock's column largely rehashed PIW's claims, took PIW's claim to be a legitimate non-profit group at face value and relegated Greenpeace's comments to the bottom of the story.  - whining and counter whining, let's stick to PIW 
It seems that this page existed, but it disappeared (?).
PIW is a hot subject now, see articles in Washingtonpost and elsewhere about PIW's revelations.  - search for "public interest watch" including the quotes. --Lumidek 12:23, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Talk:Accumulation by dispossession

message: The header of this article says that accumulation by dispossession is a phenomenon that Harvey (or someone, but Harvey is referenced) identified as occurring beginning in the 1970s to the present. Harvey's use of accumulation by dispossession is simply a re-framing of Marx's primitive accumulation. Harvey prefers this term because he argues that so-called primitive accumulation is not some pre-modern thing that happened and is in the past. Accumulation by dispossession took place well before the 20th century but it continues to this day and should be understood as an incomplete and ongoing process rather than one that has passed.

thread_title: Comment

message: Currently there are three lists here on Wikipedia listing the named features on Io: List of geological features on Io, List of paterae on Io, and List of mountains on Io.  I propose a reorganization of these lists as well as an expansion of the information they hold in order to make these a bit more useful.  As of now they seem to just contain a list of red links.  I propose reorganizing them into the following lists: List of volcanic features on Io, List of mountains on Io, List of Regions on Io.  The list of volcanic features on Io would contain the features in List of paterae on Io as well as the valles, Tholi, eruption centers, and flucti from the geologic features list.  Because these represent different types of volcanic features, these lists would be kept separate.  The List of mountains on Io would include the montes currently in there, plus the mensae, plana, and tholi (sense they are both mountains and volcanoes) from the geologic features list.  Finally, regions on Io, listed as regiones in the geologic features list, would get their own separate list article.
In addition to reorganizing these lists, I also suggest adding in more information to these lists to make them more useful for the average reader.  As you can see in this article where I have already made these changes, I have added coordinates and size information for each feature.  I propose the same for volcanic features and regions, plus maybe some indication of whether they are active or not.  Finally, each list would include some introductory information, particularly to make it clear that these are lists of NAMED features, and don't contain every mouutain, lava flow, patera, etc. on Io.  Additional information could include thumbnail images, morphologic type (for mountains), times seen active (for volcanoes), and plume height.
I'm looking for other editors who might be interested in helping on this project.  My ultimate goal is to make a dent in the article to-do list above as well as get these lists to be an example for similar lists for other worlds.  I will be copying this notice on the talk pages for the lists involved as well as the Io article.  --Volcanopele (talk) 11:07, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Filter design

message: "Filter" itself is of course a large disambiguation page with many many many links.  Where the word "filter" appears in the first sentence, one would like to say filter, but there's really no suitable value of "this other article".  Electronic filter?  No—that's only a special case.  The filters used in, for example, statistical analysis of time series and some other areas of applied math are mathematical abstractions implemented in computer programs or sometimes only in abstract discussions in scholarly papers—they're not electronic filters, but clearly they SHOULD be included in the topic of "this other article" to which one would link. Michael Hardy 20:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You have pointed out a relevant issue, and I agree that there should be an article on filters which describes and exemplifies different ways of thinking about filters in the sense that they are used here.  About the title, I suggest "Filter (signal processing)" which could be based a lot on LTI system theory but also give a example of non-linear filters (Volterra stuff) and shift-variant filters.  The term signal processing does not have to be interpreted in the narrow sense of electronics and digital devices.  A signal is the same as a function but with the additional assumption that it carries some specific information.  --KYN 07:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: There's no suitable "filter" article on Wikipedia

message: > "For example, the order of a filter is more or less proportional to the number of operations. This means that by choosing a low order filter, the computation time can be reduced."
That's not really true and there's no source for it in the article. A comb filter, for example, may only require a single operation but have a very high order (in the thousands). This is because all the other coefficients are zero. This is the sort of thing that keeps making people believe that the number of coefficients is the order of the filter, but then people don't count the zero coefficients because they're not typically written down.

message: Just read the entry about Arsenal FC. and want to ask if 
we could use British English sports terminology when referring to British football teams instead of U.S. sports terminology? 
E.g. "Arsenal have won..." (UK), and not "Arsenal has won ..." (USA). 
I'm not sure why but I think it's because in common parlance, its the team of players (ie players being plural) that's being referred to, and not the club or team (both singular). PhilH22 (talk) 23:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

message: Section headed "Components" says "Its oil contains aldehydes such as decanal (28%) and dodecanol (44%), as well as the alcohol decanol (11%)."
Assuming there is substance to this information, was "dodecanol" intended to read "dodecanal", or should "alcohol" read "alcohols" and " and dodecanol (44%)" be moved to after "decanol (11%)"?
Apart from that, as an afterthought I'm wondering about the meaning of "Its oil". Is it oil from the leaves, the seeds, the whole plant, or what?

Talk:Olympic flag

message: This is a huge misconception, and is cleared up on the Olympic Committee's web site:
What is the meaning of the Olympic Rings?
On the Olympic flag, the rings appear on a white background.
This flag translates the idea of the universality of the Olympic Movement. At least one of the colours of the rings, including the white background, can be found on the flag of every nation in the world.
But watch out! It is wrong, therefore, to believe that each of the colours corresponds to a certain continent!
http://www.olympic.org/uk/utilities/faq_detail_uk.asp?rdo_cat=10_39_0&faq=81
* You need to pay more attention to the article before you go hacking on it.  You edited a quote from Coubertin.  It's what he said, and you cannot simply change his words to suit your needs.  To address your complaints, the rings do not represent certain continents. i.e. Colors are not assigned to specific continents.  However, the five rings do most certainly represent five regions of the world.  The line you removed about the modern interpretation is entirely true.  The olympic committee now considers the rings to represent "the five continents".  You should read the link you posted, and then open the PDF it links to, and read it as well.  Straight from the PDF: "The five rings represent the five continents." -- Dpark 00:25, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

message: There appears to be a proliferation of pages about essentially the same thing: Olympic symbols (to which Olympic rings redirects), Olympic flag, Olympic Rings (capital 'R') - maybe more. I think these need merging, or at least reorganising such that they don't duplicate information.

message: Per my posting at Louis88's talk page, I feel that a discussion of categorization is in order. Several of the pretenders could appropriately put in refined categories. For instance, rival pretenders (Pretenders to the Italian throne, Pretenders to the Sicilian throne, Pretenders to the French throne, etc). Others may possibly warrant such categorization based on the sheer number of them. Further pretenders are categorized because their line was disinherited (Jacobites). Others should not be categorized under a certain throne because there are only one or two of them. Such pretenders are generally linked by a succession box on the given pages.
