Talk:John Gurda

message: Re: Here, Socialism meant honest, frugal government.
I went to school with Clara Zeidler.  
Mayor Zeidler is also remembered for his socialist welfare program that made Milwaukee a MAGNET for parasites from the South.  When they arrived and got off the bus; the first thing they ask the police officer was "Where do I sign up for welfare?".  A better question would have been, "Where do I sign up for work"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.141.187 (talk) 16:26, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

message: An anonymous user just linked to genius loci instead of genius, which is definitely a step in the right direction (I see that the genius article deals with high-IQ people). However, the genius of a pagus will have dominion over an entire collectivity, rather than just a particular place. In terms of space, we're talking about a wider scope than a genius loci; the emphasis will also be over the organized political community, rather than the natural world. I've therefore linked to genius (mythology) instead. [Properly that article should be genius (divinity) since it's not about mythology but about cult, iconography and theology—but that's a fight to be had another day.] Q·L·1968 ☿ 18:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:John Lindsey

message: I wanted to discuss my reverting of Spanneraol's deletion of the Dodgers calling up Lindsey as part of its 40-man roster expansion. While the 40-man roster is usually associated with the playoff race, all teams can and do expand their rosters in September; as that article discusses, noncontenders do so to evaluate and reward top minor leaguers. (The roster doesn't have to hit 40 players, either; my understanding is that the Dodgers didn't bring up as many players as they could have, in order to save money.) In any case, the use of the "40-man roster" phrase is cited. YLee (talk) 23:10, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Your use of the term is incorrect.. Players arent brought up as "part of the 40 man roster".. they are brought up when rosters expand in september... but adding them to the 40 man is a different thing than september callups. The way you are using the term is incorrect. Spanneraol (talk) 01:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

On a related note, shouldn't the newer books - focusing on d'Medici, Antoinette, Scotts, and Victoria also have their own sections on this page?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by KatieTJF (talk • contribs) 04:39, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Funnel plot

message: It'd be nifty to have a real funnel plot. The current example isn't necessarily intuitive and obviously is just a mockup.
May I suggest http://www.genomesunzipped.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/NatGen_funnel-plot_cropped.gif ? http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2011/11/small-samples-mean-statistically-significant-results-should-usually-be-ignored.html says it's "adapted from Ioannidis 2001 et al., Nat Genet 29:306-309". --Gwern  (contribs) 17:42 30 November 2011 (GMT)
The caption under the current funnel plot needs to be changed.  It currently says the following:  "An example funnel plot showing no publication bias."
That statement is misleading at best and propagates misunderstandings about what asymmetry can be interpreted as.  Cf. for example 'Funnel plot asymmetry should not be equated with publication bias, because it has a number of other possible causes.

message: Looking up this topic, I was expecting to find the 'bugle' type of funnel plot shown in Figure 2 of http://medicine.cf.ac.uk/media/filer_public/2010/09/24/spiegelhalter_stats_in_med_funnel_plots.pdf - this plot is designed to indicate to the viewer the difference in precision of a set of samples due to differing sample sizes, to enable better identification of outliers where a ranking, even with confidence intervals displayed might be more open to misinterpretation. Should that kind of plot be included here, or does it belong elsewhere? Neilplatform1 (talk) 18:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The type of funnel plot to which you refer should not be included here.

message: Funnel plots are an excellent first-pass implementation of meta-analysis, exactly where the beginning meta-analyst should start.

message: Victuallers (talk) 21:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This article begins as follows:
:: John Clay was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1934. A 1957 graduate of Oxford University, Clay took first class honors in Sanskrit, Avestan and Old Persian. He went on to a long career in global investment banking with Clay Finlay, Inc, New York, and before that with Vickers da Costa, New York, and the London Stock Exchange.
:: 
:: In 1999 he decided that he wanted to give enduring patronage to his real passion: Sanskrit literature and his vision of a series that would make all the classics available to the general public for the first time. With his wife Jennifer, John founded the JJC Foundation and he shared his vision for the Clay Sanskrit Library with
It tell us about first class honors in several ancient languages, so maybe the guy is notable for his expertise in those.  Then it says he had a long career in global investment banking, so maybe he's notable for that.  Then it says he wanted to return to his real passion.  Maybe the first impression, not stated explicitly, was right.  Then it says he had this idea of the "Clay Sanskrit Library" so maybe what he's notable for is founding that.  Or maybe if I read further I'll find out it was something else that the article will tell me about later!!
: 
But after reading that far, I still don't know!!
: 
That is not how articles should be written.  If the reason for notability is that he founded a Sanskrit Library, it should say that in the first sentence: "John Clay is the founder of the Clay Sanskrit Library."---or something like that.  If it's something else, then that should similarly be stated at the beginning. Michael Hardy (talk) 15:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

message: # A minimal Dab entry consists of 
#:: _ a red-link, used by an existing article, to a potential article that would -- if it weren't for all those annoying topics that are also contending for the title, and actually have articles -- have the title that the Dab has, and  _ a blue lk to an article that has information on the topic the redlink refers to, sufficient to aid a user in researching the topic elsewhere. 
#: (The logic of this is that Dabs exist solely to disambiguate titles that 
#:: _ might be used for topics that we actually cover, or  _ are worthy of being covered by us -- so that the red/blue-combination lk can facilitate creation of such an article or addressable passage.)
#: Since Dab pages also may not include either refs or external links, the following former entry is a posterchild for non-compliance with Dab standards: 
#:: John Poe was a prospector, and in 1870' founded the mining town Poeville, Nevada   History Of Washoe County (1912) (lower half of page)  Peavine Peak - Geology, Plants, and Mining History Top page 3
#: named places in the U.S. probably run to around a 5 or 6 figures, and for each there may be a record of the last person to put up the only tent or clear the only field, then hang around until people who raised kids there arrived. Most of those people are non-notable.
# The ref provided for John Poe (musician) was 
#:: Gracenote: Artist > Guadalcanal Diary
#: While Gracenote, Inc. now is apparently a subsidiary of Sony, and strongly suggests that it does not currently accept new info from critics (even recognized, rather than self-declared ones, but rather only from labels), nothing in our article insinuates that it is a reliable source.  In any case, here is what the ref could contribute to a bio on Poe: 
#:: he was a drummer in Guadalcanal Diary 
#: A bio with that ref and that info would be speedy-deleted, or converted to a Rdr to the band.

thread_title: Related to peerage?

message: Is this biography's subject notable enough to have her own article? Wikipedia serves as a database to include people who are (as stated in Wikipedia:Notability) "worthy of notice" or "note" – that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. Objectively, I cannot see how this person falls under any of these categories. Being a professor of Cultural Studies, a school that does not, in fact, exist within Flinder University http://www.flinders.edu.au/about/org-struct/facs-and-schools/, and an author of insignificant publications, does not warrant having an entire article devoted to oneself.
