Talk:Cleopatra V

message: A succession of anonymous editors over the course of several months has been attempting to push the view that Cleopatra V was definitely the legitimate daughter of Ptolemy X, rather than the illegitimate daughter of Ptolemy IX. The current article explains that there's controversy over that. It's possible we should discuss the controversy differently, give different weight to different viewpoints, etc. In that case, proposals on the talk page are welcome. But just removing it and replacing it with a different assertion doesn't make any sense.
It's particularly strange because this is the kind of thing I usually expect on biographies of modern people where political issues are involved. Is there some sort of modern political issue implied by Cleopatra V's parentage? I'm at a loss to explain why an article like this would attract this kind of editing. --Delirium (talk) 08:24, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem is, that there only survive very few sources about the late Ptolemaic period. Many scholars, especially leading German scholars like Werner Huss, assume that Cleopatra V was a sister or half sister of Ptolemy XII and therefore daughter of Ptolemy IX. (I have given a reference in the article), but Christopher Bennett assumes instead that she was a daughter of Ptolemy X. Because his website is serious and written in English it is of course frequently used. But he also points out that most other scholars do not agree with his opinion (see note 3 on his home page). In the ancient sources there is no definitve information to solve this question. Not even the mother of the famous Cleopatra VII is known. Oskar71 (talk) 17:37, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I am unable to find any confirmation of the background section, and I am unable to determine what the supposed reference to "Fischer-Elfert (2003)" is actually referring to. Is there evidence that the Ahmes of the Saqqara graffito is the same as the author of the Rhind papyrus, given that it was a common name of the time? Is there anything reliable to say about Ahmes other than that he wrote the Rhind papyrus? If not, I think WP:BIO1E applies and we should just redirect this to the article on the Rhind papyrus. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:29, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Brans-Dicke Theory? 

message: I agree with the previous comment that the decomposition of the metric tensor is based on the ADM formalism.  Why not mention it?  In particular, you mention particular total derivatives being
eliminated.  I gather that these correspond to surface terms but it would be nice to have a few
words explaining the justification for their elimination.  Are these derivatives, the ones shown in the re-formulated Lagrangian (density) from ADM?  Is it that you expect flat-space in the far field?  Or is it
simply that you are happy with the Euler-Lagrange equations as they are?  TonyMath (talk) 21:45, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Total derivatives?

message: Point 1: The first sentence reads "In physics, canonical quantum gravity is an attempt to quantize the canonical formulation of general relativity (or canonical gravity)."
But I would like to suggest that canonical quantum gravity is an attempt using some canonical formulation of general relativity. For example, we have the ADM formalism but we also have Ashtekar variables.
Point 2: The second sentence reads "It is a Hamiltonian formulation of Einstein's general theory of relativity."
This is not quite accurate! Classical canonical gravity indeed is some Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity...but canonical quantum gravity takes one particular Hamiltonian formulation, then quantizes it canonically.
Point 3: The commutation relations are missing!
There is no discussion of the surface deformation algebra, the commutation algebra of the (smeared) constraints, the relation to the Diffeomorphism group, etc. This is bad! The Bergmann-Komar group should be discussed somewhere!
Maybe these are trivialities, but I think perhaps a more historical approach should be taken as Rovelli's "Notes for a brief history of quantum gravity" (arXiv:gr-qc/0006061) does... --Pqnelson (talk) 16:03, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

We've had a suribachi in my family kitchen since I was in high school or college (in the '60s and 70s), and we aren't Asian, so it wasn't sent to us by relatives.  I did grow up in San Francisco, though, but this is still wrong for the U.S.  Also, if the writer was referring to another country, or any country, I guess, they really should say which one.  Thanks.

message: once there was "bocho" then "hocho", but the correct pronunciation of the kanji according to http://www.j-talk.com/nihongo/ is actually houchou (often in english"hōchō") which i believe should be perceived upon as the uttermost correct one.

replies: text: I think the question is not how it is pronounced, but how it is written. I would have to check, but I believe we're using the hepburn system.

Talk:Tetsubin

message: Everything I have read on iron tea pots (tetsubins) is that they're used primarily in the West as a teapot. However, their actual use is as a kettle as the iron content reacts badly with the flavor of the tea. No one in Asia, Japanese of otherwise, would use Tetsubins to brew tea. Heat water use, not brew. Below is a section on proper iron teapot usage by teh website In Pursuit of Tea:
:"Iron is a bad material for infusing fine teas. The iron reacts with the tannin in the tea, discoloring and flavoring it. Even when enameled, the tea comes in contact with un-enamelled parts of the spout, rim, and lid of the teapot, and as the enamel deteriorates, iron seeps into the body of the pot as well...In Japan, small cast iron teapots are NEVER used in Japan for infusing fine tea. They are sold mainly as souvenirs by makers of cast iron tea KETTLES. American restauranteurs and tea shops have misunderstood the use of these tiny kettles in Japan. When challenged, the explanation is always, “they don’t break.”...The Uji tea merchant and promoter whom In Pursuit of Tea works with to ship much of its fine Japanese teas has never seen anyone EVER use a small cast-iron teapot to infuse tea. In fact, he was puzzled by my question when I asked if he had ever used one. Patricia J. Graham, author of Tea of the Sages: The Art of Sencha, has never heard of such a thing."
Anywho, I just feel like there is compelling evidence that this entire article is wrong. Zidel333 (talk) 19:57, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The Ultimate Fighter 4

message: I think putting brackets on already will be premature. Because the brackets are not set at the beginning of the tournament and matchups are made only after a round is over, the brackets as-is implies future matchups (ie, Carter vs. Lytle as was shown before) which may not be accurate. I don't think brackets can be made until the semi-final matches are set, when its clear what all the matchups will be. hateless 21:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  G-Force 

message: Ultimate starts off exiting the station using 2 drive chains underneath the train, it then turns a corner just outside of the station to reach the first lift hill. The first lift leads to the first big drop of the ride. When the train has got to the bottom of the drop it then bounces over two large bunny hills before travelling at speed along the track towards the second lift. On approach to the second lift, the train goes over several small bunny hills and then climbs onto the lift. At the top of the lift, the train goes round a left hand corner pointing it in the direction of the woods. The train then drops into a heavily wooded section and rattles it's way through the woods. After at least 5 banked turns, the train travels down an offroad track and through a double helix tunnel. The last section of the ride can often stall the train on cold days and most mornings. The train often has to get pulled along with a JCB digger to make it onto the return lift hill and back into the station.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightwater Valley Theme Park (talk • contribs) 12:14, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Preparation method depends on what you hope to get from a cupping - professional coffee buyers will generally prepare with at least two methods to see how the coffee tastes when prepared differently. If you're cupping to try and find a coffee you'd want to drink, you generally prepare it the way you would normally prepare it at home.
Personally when I'm cupping I prepare with french press because it keeps taste for a reasonable amount of time and tends to hold more flavours than drip brew. Espresso isn't a good idea for cupping because the shots lose flavour so quickly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.45.208.186 (talk) 23:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
