message: This article has no references and seems very POV. simonthebold 09:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: I don't think we do the reader any favours by having such a brief article as the lead article for a series.  It needs to mention all the major participants, and have some reason from the economics or finance literature for categories.  As a layman, it seems to me that whole categories of participants are missing from the article.  Without borrowers, there would be no investors.  And where are the treasury departments who buy and sell currency and commodities in order to conduct trade, that give the currency and commodity markets their reason for being?  I am afraid I don't have the expertise or the time to expand this.  But I may well pitch in and propose dismantling the series until its headline article is more compelling.  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Comprehensiveness

message: Income and Expenditure may be dealt with differently for Tax purposes for a "Share Trader" than a "Investor" or "Share Holder".
Being "deemed" an Investor or a Trader can make significant changes to calculations for tax, profit or loss. 
Example re Australia. 
:Investors have a Capital Gains discount benefit which Traders do not have.
:For an Investor  "the net loss from the sale of shares may not be offset against income from other sources, but may be carried forward to offset against future capital gains made from the sale of shares" 
:Trading as a business results in many "business expenses"  incurred in buying or selling "trading stock" becoming allowable deductions each financial year they are incurred, which they do not for an "Investor". 
Find NOT so clear is whether a Trader with "net loss" may offset against other income.

thread_title:  Investor / Trader 

message: I intend to rewrite this article, making it an index to the many other articles already available and related to the subject. I plan to have two major categories: 1. Financial Markets; and 2. Participants. For example, there are robust articles on the Bond, Commodity, Capital, Foreign Exchange, Interbank Lending, and Stock markets. This should guide a reader from a very broad overview to the many types of financial markets and their participants to specific articles on each subject. Any with objections, please let me know.

message: Re:
Berlin's lyrical acquisition is classed by critics as an art form – disparate from the poetry of ‘speculating philosophically,’ and rather broadly, exploring the conflict between poetry and lyrics.
What does this actually mean? Who said it? What might they have been smoking at the time? I can't make head nor tail of it. There may well be a serious point here, but it raises more questions than it answers. What is the supposed conflict between poetry and lyrics? Berlin was a fine lyricist, unquestionably, but this sentence doesn't explain anything, nor is it clear why such a statement would be relevant in this article.

message: “ Coastal Aboriginal people who lived around Sydney lived off the rich plant, bird, animal and marine life surrounding the harbour for tens of thousands of years. Within the City of Sydney local government area, the traditional owners are the Cadigal and Wangal bands of the Eora. Their ancient lifestyle was catastrophically upturned when the site was chosen by Governor Phillip for an English penal settlement in 1788.”

Talk:Marcus Caeionius Silvanus

message: A now-banned editor had the distressing practice of creating articles comprised of genealogical statements that he attributed to the research of Christian Settipani, citing the entire book not specific pages. Since not everyone can read French, & fewer have access to any of Settipani's books, these statements had been allowed to stand on en.wikipedia for a few years. Then I came along & tried to confirm these statements in one or two ways: either there is evidence that someone might argue these genealogical relationships are possible; or that Settipani had actually made them, & provided a page &/or footnote where he had written the words. Every time this now-banned editor cited Settipani for some assertion, it turns out that either no one ever proposed such a relationship, or that the evidence prevents the proposed reconstruction. The phrase "he made shit up" comes to mind concerning this situation.
As a result, I have removed all of the content previously sourced to Settipani in this characteristic vague style that could not be verified by other reliable sources, such as Ronald Syme & Werner Eck. From examining the fr.wikipedia article on Silvanus, it appears that Settipani actually made one assertion about him, which I kept in this article out of an attempt to be fair. Further, some related articles, such as Marcus Caeionius Proculus, should be carefully examined, &, if no reliable information can be found in them, deleted. -- llywrch (talk) 07:11, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Prolate spheroidal wave function

message: Contrary to what the first paragraph claims, the PSWFs are not time-limited. If \psi_n were in fact time-limited, the second Q_T in the expression Q_T P_W Q_T \psi_n = \lambda_n \psi_n would be redundant anyway. Based on the original paper by Slepian and Pollack, and using the notation established in this article, the correct expression seems to be
: P_W Q_T \psi_n = \lambda_n \psi_n 
where \psi_n are bandlimited. Perhaps somebody with more background in this matter can confirm this. Qopzm (talk) 00:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Revision required

message: List of changes:
* Headings inserted, paragraphs re-ordered in more natural way
* Application on band-limited functions shifted to the middle
* In that section, time interval set to -T \ldots T, as in NIST's Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) §30.15 (reference added)
* The explicit form of the band-limited eigenfunctions given in terms of angular PSWF
* Correction: the PSWF are not time-limited, but band-limited
* The convention for prolate coordinates modified as in the corresponding wiki page
* Dead links to Slepian & el papers replaced by DOI
* The eigenvalue \lambda_{mn}(c) is fixed by the boundary values of the angular function at \eta = \pm1, and not by the behaviour of the radial function (see DLMF §30.13)
* References tidied up: include page numbers, bibliographic information: journal_name vol (year) page.
Further improvements:
* Wouldn't it be useful to visualise the prolate functions? The DLMF gives simple cross sections in the coordinates \xi and \eta, but it would be great to show a true spheroid. Needs some 3D plotting.

message: I've removed the 'blurbs' section, which shouldn't be controversial, as it was composed of promotional descriptions of the books, and may have constituted copyright violations. Also removed are the character descriptions, which were unsourced and read like original research--if there's a Wikipedia guideline supporting the inclusion of such a section, as for brief plot descriptions, please restore it.

Talk:Global brain

message: Dear all,
I just rewrote the Global Brain article that was recently deleted. This is just a new start, and here is a provisional to do list:
* Check the wiki syntax. I'm still not very familiar with it. 
* Correct the english; I'm not an english native speaker.
* I suggested that the main article for the "Organiscism aspect" was superorganism. However I did not edit or tried to make a conceptually coherent synthesis of the two articles. 
* Maybe it would be nice to add a "Global brain in science fiction" section, with books like Neuromancer, etc...
