Talk:Harry M. Miller

message: I have edited the following copy: "In 1970, Miller joined the council of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and was elected chairman of the gallery's society after his opponent for the position, art patron Mervyn Horton was filmed by the ABC commenting on Miller's Jewish background. As chairman, Miller was instrumental in revitalising the gallery from an austere, staid Sydney institution to a modern, welcoming venue."
I have left this statement as it appears to be factual and without bias. "In 1970, Miller joined the council of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and was elected chairman of the gallery's society.Meacham, Steve: Hang the expense, The Sydney Morning Herald, 24 May 2003.
The newspaper  article used as a reference is only quoting Miller and there is no neutral pov thus slandering Mervyn Horton. A search shows the same comments are made in Miller's ghost written biography by Peter Holder but without an independent  version of these events Wikipedia should not repeat them. Miller's view that he  "was instrumental in revitalising the gallery from an austere, staid Sydney institution to a modern, welcoming venue" is also questionable unless stated by an appropriate third person. This statement needs to be viewed in conjunction with any accounts of the directorships of Hal Missingham and Edmund Capon. When did the AGNSW in fact become a "modern, welcoming venue". Who makes this change happen ... a single council member, the leader of a support group or an art gallery director?

Talk:Pâté de Foie Gras (short story)

message: Having just read the aforementioned story,  I must admit I am stumped.  In the introduction Asimov says that his story  "was carefully designed to allow one rational answer to the question that was asked at the end."  He goes on later to say that the advance of science allowed for another "answer that was better than any I had imaginined."  
    
I am asking,  please,  what are the two answers Asimov spoke of?  Perhaps the "new" one might be cloning.  But what was the original answer?  Someone out there must know it.

Talk:Tecun Uman

message: It is clear that there was never a person who went by "Tecun Uman"; thus there is debate as to whether this name refers to a single figure, a composite, or a primarily legendary figure. This article makes no mention of this (and, surprisingly, there is no article on es.wikipedia.org). I don't have the sources to hand, but this is a serious problem. Nonetheless, I'm adding him to the Pre-columbian template. --200.6.247.17 19:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed about the semi-legendary nature of this figure, who like other central american folk heroes of indigenous resistance against the conquistadores -Kayb'il B'alam, Lempira, Nicarao, etc- owes more to modern retelling and hagiography than actual historical documentation. While it is important to clearly delineate the fact from the myth (which the present article is yet to do), as a concept Tecun Uman and the others are important enough in contemporary Cent.Am. society and should be documented here.--cjllw | TALK 01:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Did he exist? 

message: A lot of what is discussed in this article has to do with the "legend" of Tecun Uman rather than the person himself. Resources (even secondary) need to be added to complete the link between Tecun Uman, the culture of the Maya, and the origins of where and why the conquistadors came to complete a more full picture of Tecun Uman "The Legend". As far as I'm concerned this article should be classified under folklore and not be taken as a realistic historical event that occurred in the past solely due to the lack of sources and documentation on Tecun Uman "The Man" himself.

message: How does AER relate to APY?  Are they different or the same?  If the same, why do the different terms exist? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.33.225.222 (talk • contribs).
:I believe that AER is a strictly UK construction and factors in interest distribution. APY implicitly assumes that interest will not be distributed and will compound for the life of the product. For this reason, I don't believe that a formulaic approach to AER exists. Consider that a CD that pays out all interest monthly will have varying compounding periods (i.e. January gets 31 days of compounding, February 28 days, etc.). This requires a very tedious calculation to determine actual AER. --Laxrulz777 21:40, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
