thread_title:  Addition 

message: Why do we need an article listing American Jewish mathematicians? There is no such 'list' for American Christians, Muslims or even atheists or for American Germans - ironically the linguistic grouping that most of these jews came from. So what is the point, other than to assert how intellectually superior both Americans and in particular American Jews are?

thread_title:  Why do we need this article? 

message: In a few of the entries I have added to this list, I have used jinfo.org as a source due to its use of a source for some entries on the list of Jewish mathematicians. However, I have seen that a previous edit to this page, by user:Coffee, removed many of the previously existent entries that were exclusively sourced by jinfo.org, considering it an unreliable source. Should the entries that have been exclusively sourced by jinfo.org be removed on this page and on the list of Jewish mathematicians? Thanks, --H*10^8.5 (talk) 17:40, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

message: To the anonymous editor who reverted my changes:
1. Welcome to Wikipedia. Your contributions have helped make this a better article. 
2. There are formatting standards that apply to all Wikipedia articles. They can be found in Wikipedia:Manual of Style and related articles. 
For example, it says:
:"2:34 p.m. NOT 2.34 PM" (see here)
Also, numbers less than ten are to be spelled out. (See here.)
And, 
:"So unless there is a special relevance of the date link, there's no need to link it. This is an important point: simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there's a strong reason for doing so." (See here)
Finally, the article on Toronto is at Toronto. Toronto, Ontario is a redirect to Toronto. Please don't create this redirect again. Let's stick with the correct link.
If you have any questions, please post them here. Also, I would encourage you to register as a user. There are many benefits to doing so. Ground Zero | t 18:44, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Tsal’álh

message: As far as I can see they should be merged; the only reason there's a page at all is someone had listed Tsal'álh already on the subdivisions of the St'at'imc page (originally the Lillooet page);  Tsal'álh is the proper St'at'imcets orthography for Shalalth, as it's usually spelled in English; ergo it's not an English word, and there's no essential difference.  The word means both the lake and the community on its shores, but in English it's spelled Shalalth; Tsal'álh can just be a redirect, as should be the case with strictly-native spellings of other Lillooet placenames and other placenames in the same boat in other areas.Skookum1 18:57, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Sorry if I am not following correct procedure on this, but I was very surprised to see the banner on this article, questioning the notability of this person.  One of the major Data Warehousing methodologies is actually named after him.
I can absolutely provide some independent articles:

His guidelines to design a data warehouse, often referred as Kimball methodology, has become one of the most followed methods by technical experts in building a decision support system across the organization." 
* "He is a renowned author on the subject of DWH. His DWH approach is called as Dimension modeling or Kimball methodology – bottom up approach."

message: In 1997/98 I had the pleasure to be one of his students, Quantum Field Theory IIRC, he seemed to have a fixation on the word "recapitulation". His appearance was that of a schoolchild drawing god, indeed amongst the undergraduates at the time he was known as "god". It wasn't until preparing a talk on modelling the early universe using superfluids that I came across his work and still a little while later that I learnt that this was the great man ...

replies: text: I seem to recall it being painted sometime in the last decade making it a lighter shade of green. In digging up that old photo from VPL's collection, they had a photo there from 1981 and it wasn't green at all. It's not a great photo; the colour is a little washed out, but it looks to have been more of a reddish colour. Still looks like copper though, and I can't imagine what else it would be made of if not copper. bobanny 16:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Cool (Gwen Stefani song)

message: So-called "speedy keep" here is higly inappropriate due to the ongoing debate about such article obtaining FA status & appearing on the fan page.  Consensus of that discussion is that those who strongly feel that an article should appear on the front page should seriously consider voting to delete it.  At minimum, recently obtaining FA status does not consitute a reason for keeping.  Anyway, it would have been a good VfD, which would probably have resulted in keep, but it would clearly have been worth doing.  JeffBurdges 19:23, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

message: It seems that there are users who don't agree with this article and try to unilaterally convert the article into a redirect. If you believe so strongly about the redirection, please mark it as an article for deletion and vote for a redirect. Doing so ensures a public discussion about the article and a public consensus can be achieved. If certain users try to unilaterally eliminate this article then other users have the exact same merit at eliminating the redirect and reintroducing the article. --Mecanismo | Talk 01:36, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Wikipedia:Deletion policy#What to do with a problem page/image/category if something is "Such a minor branch of a subject that it doesn't deserve an article" then we should "Merge the useful content into a more comprehensive article and redirect" instead of going through the AFD process, which is designed for deletion.  If you really think this is a big deal, you can request more eyes at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Maths, science, and technology.  But I don't think its that big of a deal.

message: I cite the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_approximation_theorem
The article reads "If it has one hidden layer, then it can learn problems with convex decision boundaries (and some concave decision boundaries). The network can learn more complex problems if it has two or more hidden layers." This is not true. A feedforward neural network with one hidden layer and one output layer can approximate anything. More layers may be more efficient, more elegant, or otherwise desirable, but not strictly needed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.162.89.24 (talk) 23:02, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

:"This may be representative of a common mistake or lax practice in Western films which substitute a generalized Chinese language for an entirely inappropriate geographical area."
I find it somewhat ironic that the complaint is being made about a geographical error, when the usage of the word "Western" itself is relative, and a common geographic misnomer in that manner. Zchris87v 09:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
