Talk:Counting Crows

message: Is Adam Duritz's singing style really compared to Bob Dylan's?  I always get the sense that people assume that because of the Bob Dylan line in "Mr. Jones."  Olin

Talk:19 equal temperament

message: Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tunings, Temperaments, and Scales#External links to music. —Keenan Pepper 19:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links to music 

message: I get that this is not an easy topic even for smart people. I certaintly don't have it down yet, myself, and I'm not particularly stupid regarding music. I would urge those who do understand this 19 equal temperament thingy to continue seeking to make this article clearer. I'm not saying it's bad. But the "Scale Diagram" section is a good example, with this:
The 19-tone system can be represented with the traditional letter names and system of sharps and flats by treating flats and sharps as distinct notes, but identifying B♯ as enharmonic with C♭ and E♯ with F♭. 
See, when one (such as myself) does not yet understand this topic, one wonders if this is actually an error. He thinks, "In normal temperament, or whatever it's called, B is enharmonic with C, or just plain 'C', and E is enharmonic with F. Is that maybe what they really meant to say?" One doesn't know, because one is in a bit over his head!
Maybe (assuming the statement is not in error) some sort of comparison to, uh, ordinary temperament is appropriate at this point in the article, that section, near that statement, just to help drag some of us out of the deep waters of confusion.

Talk:Material dispersion coefficient

message: I think the article as it stands is more than a bit misleading.  In an optical fiber you cannot in general ignore the effects of the shape of the waveguide: the total dispersion is determined by the material dispersion (the dependence of index on frequency) and the waveguide dispersion (which comes from the geometry), and nor do the two effects simply add.  The total dispersion is characterized by a parameter D (the pulse spreading, usually in ps/nm km).  See also Dispersion (optics), although the discussion in that article is currently woefully narrow-focused to homogeneous media.  —Steven G. Johnson 06:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sectional curvature

message: Hi.  Sectional Curvature.  I can see that a number of people have edited this page over time.  All of them, I would assume, more knowledgeable in this area than myself.
Still.  I'm a programmer; am far from completely uneducated in mathematics; and consider myself, say, a technical layman.
My question.  The explanation of sectional curvature that appears currently is no doubt general (and hopefully correct).  I wouldn't however consider it particularly penetrable myself.
Would it be possible to add something to the effect of:
"positively curved space is such that if you were to 'lay' a triangle onto the surface, the sum of its angles would be greater than 180°.  Negatively curved space implies the opposite: triangles where the sum of the angles is less than 180°".
patrick flaherty 07:37, 7 January 2006
:The point is that sectional curvature is but one realisation of the concept of curvature in general, and hence this article should be seen as more specific to the topic - what you have suggested, though more than sensible, would be more appropriate in the general article on curvature (spec. Ricci) and the more lay introduction ot non-Euclidean geometry.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.145.109.129 (talk) 19:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Relation to Riemann  tensor

message: The first sentence of this article is:
In Riemannian geometry, the sectional curvature is one of the ways to describe the curvature of Riemannian manifolds with dimension greater than 2.
However, the section curvature also seems to make sense in 2 dimensions, see https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1832106/sectional-curvature-of-2-manifold. 
Shouldn't "greater than 2" be corrected to "greater than 1"?

Talk:Matilde Serao

message: I think we should be careful about loading in from the 1911 Brittanica such phrases as "Like Fogazzaro's, her speech is too often the popular speech of her particular province, in description as well as in dialogue." That is their point of view. Serao was a writer of realist prose and concentrated much of her energies on the problems of Naples, the language of which is quite distinct in Italy. It is NOT--in my view--a defect in her writing. If no one objects within the next week or so, I'll rewrite the last paragraph and "de-Brittanicize" it.  Jeffmatt 07:15, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:U Saw

message: I edited the article to make it more neutral (and corrected a few typos). To start at the end, there's no place in an encyclopedia for editorial comment on the trustworthiness or otherwise of references - if they're not trustworthy, don't cite them at all. IMO Kin Oung is trustworthy enough to stay in. The other edits are simply aimed at removing contentious material - the whole subject of Aung San's assassination is a happy hunting ground for conspiracy theorists, and in these circumstances it's best to say as little as possible. Nonetheles, I don't think there's any doubt of U Saw's guilt - he never denied it.  PiCo 07:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
