Talk:Chionophile

message: Can anyone confirm the origin of the term?  The statement "from the Russian chion meaning snow, and -phile meaning lover" doesn't seem right to me.  Although some research shows the word was coined by the Russian naturalist Alexander Formozov, it seems suspicious that this page was edited to say that chion, and subsequently -phile, is a Russian word.

Talk:Sunday Morning (No Doubt song)

message: This article states: "After rinsing her finger Stefani says 'now you're looking like I used to' while Tony Kanal is cleaning the tomato sauce off the floor. This is most likely a reference to one of Stefani's teenage job of scrubbing floors at Dairy Queen." Doubt(ful), the lyrics are about a woman who once was infatuated with a man who perhaps was not as infatuated with her, but while she has since gotten over him, he is not over her, so the table are turned and "now you're looking like I used to." The former boyfriend hanging around during the video, ignored by Stefani, would seem to bear this out. In any case, this and the article's interpretation are clearly original research, unless the article's writer has some reference to suggest the dairy queen interpretation was either the director's or band's intent.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.1.168.113 (talk) 15:48, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

message: @Carbrera: Is the release a commercial single or promo? I don't know why it's considered a CD single when a commercial single release does not exist. --George Ho (talk) 00:44, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, a commercial single release does exist under catalog ID# 6086. It seems that its release was quite limited and perhaps only in Japan. In my educated opinion, I don't think it would have charted on New Zealand's main chart had a commercial release not been made. Thanks for your concerns, Carbrera (talk) 03:23, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you mean this release, the webpage says that the front cover of the Japanese release uses "Sunday Morning", which is the second track of the release. In other words, "Excuse Me Mr." was never marketed as the main single. By the way, why removing the caption? The image says "Promotional use only. Not for sale."

thread_title: Working backwards

message: In the section The determinant formula the account of "the most obvious direct attack on the convergence problem" is misleading.  The terms of an infinite series are the differences between consecutive partial sums and for the series (or equivalently the sequence of partial sums) to converge it is not sufficient that the terms approach zero, e.g the harmonic series.  Unless anyone objects or pre-empts me I propose to recast this paragraph.  --Ian S (talk) 16:24, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Convergence Problem 

message: : Since all the partial numerators in this example are equal to one, the determinant formula assures us that the absolute value of the difference between successive convergents approaches zero quite rapidly.
The golden ratio has been called "the most irrational number" because its c.f. converges so slowly!  The "assurance" means nothing without some knowledge of the behavior of B_n B_{n-1}. —Tamfang (talk) 05:19, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
