Talk:Ugly duckling theorem

message: Yes, this is pretty much a copy of the page on Everything2 with the same name.  I can do that: I wrote that one. Probably needs some formalizing and formatting. Clsn 18:15, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Please add some print references to this article, not just a link to another page you have written.
:Link added to Watanabe's book, or at least a scan of the relevant part of it, which is what I could find.  Maybe my statement of it is original, but the research isn't.
The sentence you added again is clearly wrong; there must be additional assumptions on the theorem that says that the set of attributes representing each object has a 50/50 chance of containing any particular attribute.  CMummert 03:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 

message: This statement is blatantly false and ruins the entire purpose of the ugly duckling theorem. It stands to reason, I believe, that this should be changed to "if each can be distinguished by a unique name" or something similar. Regardless of how many extra distinguishing features there are, the total number of possible classes will not change if the names are unique, which is the entire point, if I understand this theorem correctly.
I will let someone with a better understanding of the theorem rephrase that statement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.125.208.5 (talk) 12:48, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Sheffield Rules

message: I think this page should mention Sheffield's role in the early passing game.  See Combination Game  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Footballwecan80 (talk • contribs) 12:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: early passing game

message: I can see that the A-rating  pre-dates the A-class review system , and I agree that the absence of a review is no reason to re-grade the article. However, if the article does not meet the criteria, then there is no reason for it to retain A-class status either since ratings can change at any time, depending on the shifting quality of the article and changes in the grading schemes.
I don't believe this article does meet the current standard, specifically because it contains claims which may be disputed. The sentence claiming that the first inter-club game was played with these rules lacks a citation. As the date of foundation of the oldest football club is contested, the date of the first game may also be contested. Further confusion is introduced because of the different forms of football. Presumably, university college "football" clubs were playing each other before these rules were drawn up.
Potentially contentious statements without cites include "disliked due to the lack of goal scoring opportunities"; "to prevent the Sheffield game looking boring"; "The FA accepted the Sheffield rule...[and]...in return the FA's use of a three man offside was adopted" (implies a quid pro quo, but was it just accepting the best each had to offer without any deal being done?); "in financial trouble"; "set up to test the use of the lights" or to launch the ground as a marketing ploy?; "credited with creating the original rules".

Talk:PADRES

message: I know that acronyms are generally not preferred for article titles, but I titled the article so for a reason. For one, there is the English title convention. Secondly, there is a common names convention (taking note that PADRES is easily differentiated from Padres)--PADRES is the name used in the literature about the group. Thirdly, PADRES is actually more of an apronym than an acronym, and thus is descriptive of the organization itself. If anyone wishes to discuss the titling issue, please do so before moving.--Rockero 18:21, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Why do you jerks keep on deleting Sunny Leone, and Angela Devi? Because they do porn? They are "Indian Americans", they DO live here in the US.
: Note for the record, I haven't been deleting Angela Devi or Sunny Leone references. Infact I think they should be in there if they are reasonably famous and fit the other criteria. The edit comment by "20:45, 12 April 2006 150.135.161.32 (Added Sunny Leone & Angela Devi AGAIN!!

Talk:FictionJunction Yuuka

message: The article says that their first recording is Akatsuki no kuruma, however, that was released after the two singles from MADLAX. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean anything, since a song could be recorded way before it is actually released, but does anyone have any source for citation purposes?

replies: text: Akatsuki no Kuruma indeed is the group’s first recorded song, but it was their third single.  I can’t remember which episode of Gundam SEED it first appeared in.  However, the song originally appeared on the series’ fourth image album (Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Suit CD, Volume 4: Miguel Ayman × Nicol Amarfi), which was released in 2003.

Talk:Genie (Aladdin)

message: Somebody has moved this page from "Genie (Disney)" to "Genie (Aladdin)", undoing a move I made in the opposite direction some time ago. That's fine, if somebody thinks it would be better served there, but I'm going to explain why I made the move in the first place. The story of Aladdin *always* has a genie in it (sometime two, in fact). Thus "Genie (Aladdin)" could really refer to any genie from any version of the Aladdin story. "Genie (Disney)" specifically would refer to the big blue genie voiced by Robin Williams, being the only genie that has appeared in a Disney production. -- Supermorff 18:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Strength Through Joy

message: The eventual collapse of the programme is covered in a single short sentence; presumably it was obliterated by WW2, but what happened up until that point? Was it an unsustainable, uneconomical pyramid scheme, or was it wound up in favour of e.g. wartime production (as seems to have been the case for the VW Beetle). There is a persistent urban legend that the entire programme was a sneaky means of increasing taxation, and that most of the money went towards Panzer production, but was this the case? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:00, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

**The history only talks about the bouts and matches at the event but nothing about the event's history in general, like it's name or things in that nature, it needs less about the matches and more about it's own history.

I also could not find any support for the fact that there actually was a second part of the gold transport that was deposited in Romania, but this fact does not seem as unlikely.
