Talk:Dual basis

message: As said in Requested articles/Linear algebra:
"Searching for "dual basis" directs to the article Dual basis in a field extension which is not helpful for someone who is trying to grasp the idea of a dual basis."
So I've stopped it from redirecting...I can't write the article tho; someone else who knows about it will have to...Scholarus 00:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: To quote the main aritcle:
In linear algebra, a dual basis is a set of orthogonal vectors that span (i.e., they form a basis for) the dual space of a vector space.
Is the condition of orthogonality unecessary? Frigoris 20:36, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Needs expansion 

message: I removed the extrapolation of the transpose of a coordinate vector to coordinate-free vectors from the article.  It was even presented as a primary motivation for the dual space, but since this extrapolation only works for a strictly orthonormal basis (implying in turn the structure of a positive-definite quadratic form) and is thus not basis-free (coordinate-free) and is most certainly not natural, this is fundamentally misguided.  A dual basis, on the other hand, finds application in vector spaces without a defined quadratic form or indeed with any quadratic form, and we must conclude that its motivation came from something other than the transpose of vectors.  — Quondum 02:10, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Rest of Virginia

message: We have some *really* big problems with maintaing NPOV in this article.  For example:
"In NoVA it is due to current General Assembly's denial of financial aid to Northern Virginia and general disregard for the needs of NoVA (especially transportation concerns). While this may be a hallmark of fiscal conservatism, NoVA's standing as the economic engine of the state and the greatest source of tax dollars leads many observers and residents of Northern Virginia alike to criticize RoVA politicians who currently control the General Assembly."
Would anyone else happen to have thoughts on this? --Takeel 00:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:History of cricket in Zimbabwe to 1992

message: There seems to be no article dealing with the developments in cricket in Zimbabwe after 1992. That being the case, wouldnt it be better if someone could expand the timespan of this article to cover the more recent events (after 1992) ? Lot of interesting things have happened such as Henry Olonga's comments about Robert Mugabe and subsequent arrest warrant, Andy Flower quitting, radical changes in the team, removal of Heath Streak as captain, the appoinment and axing of Tatenda Taibu, and slump in team performance, etc  ...

Talk:Isuzu Fargo

message: I don't know about other markets but in Ireland later examples of these were branded "General Motors Midi", using the same Microgramma-like text for "General Motors" as what was used for the Bedford equivalents on post-facelift versions (the ones that used decals on the front instead of plastic lettering on the grille). Of course these vans are quite rare now so there is no proof on the internet of this iteration. I see mainland European versions have this "GME" branding (looks like the same typeface used by GMC) which is different again. 
Also, to add further confusion:
* "Bedford Seta": http://images02.olx.pt/ui/1/97/17/6559017_1.jpg

Aaah, virtually all decent electric bass players use this method.

Since we don't have any Rocco Prestia' picture on Commons, I've contacted with Prestia's manager, wich is the method I ussually use in order to incorporate some new material on Commons. He has asked me a translation of the spanish text, wich I've roughly done. I've substituted the original english text just because I think the spanish version (wich in any case integrates some elements of the english version) is a little more comprehensive and because the most of the work was already done. It would be great if some editor coould correct the obvious gramathical and ortographical mistakes on the text, but if you think it's too much work, just revert my edition.

There are only 21 people listed at :Category:People from Atherton, Greater Manchester and it's very unclear to me what objective criteria are being used to include and exclude each of these. Removing people who seem perfectly notable, and are supported by relevant external source, comes across as WP:OWN.
