Talk:Federal states of Austria

message: To declare the state of Salzburg as Salzburger Land in native German is complete nonsense. The official name of the Bundesland is Salzburg, and that is the way it should be written in an encyclopedia like wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.47.168.50 (talk) 18:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While the official name (given by the law) of both the city and the state are Salzburg as you state, it is not "complete nonsense" to use Salzburger Land. This term is often used to distinguish the the state from the region. Check salzburgerland.com for example or do a simple search on google for the term. --Wirthi 19:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't think the map that was added fits the format of the current article. At the moment, it's under the heading of geography, and I don't think it belongs there. Either a text section on provincial (state) politics is added to the current article, or the map should be taken down. As far as I can see, the map was created for a different article (Distribution of seats in the Austrian Landtage) and then just added to this one for good measure. In addition, I don't think the map is aesthetically pleasing with all those hatched areas...
so if no objections are posted over the next couple of days, I will take it down and maybe just add a link to the other article instead.

message: We need to talk about the accuracy and sourcing (where it even exists) for most of the constitutional explanations here.
Some information is plainly wrong. It's simply untrue that the Federal Constitution originally (= in 1920) granted all legislative authority to the states. It has gotten less over the years, but the Constitution of 1920 already gave broad legislative powers to the federal level (e.g. civil law, criminal law, civil procedure and ordinary courts, foreign relations, etc).

Talk:Eigenvector

message: It was wrong to redirect eigenvalue to eigenvector. Vectors aren't the only things that can have the, as it were, "eigen-" idea applied to them. For instance, eigenfunctions have eigenvalues. PML.
:I agree that it is wrong to redirect eigenvalue to eigenvector and I have corrected this.  But your reason is incorrect.  Eigenfunctions are vectors in the linear space of functions. wshun
:I cannot but quote :o) salvatore.federico
Vectors and values are closely related. The complete basis, or superposition principle is ubiquitous in linear algebra. Each vector (or function in the broadest sense) of a normal complete set has an associated value. The best practical applications have +ve definite values. These could be electron energy levels, or frequencies of a vibrating plate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.244.72.18 (talk) 06:12, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Brown v. Board of Education

message: The 00:55 12 January 2006 edit adds a claim that the plaintiffs asserted that the "separate but equal" system "perpetuated inferior accommodations, services, and treatment" for black Americans.
This claim is not consistent with the statements made at trial by the plaintiffs' attorneys, and Huxman confirmed the position of the plaintiffs in the "Findings of Fact" section of the District Court ruling.  Specifically, Finding Number 4 stated:
It is well-recognized that Huxman was extremely sympathetic to the plaintiffs, but he understood he had no authority to simply overrule Plessy and doing so would be unlikely to have the desired outcome. Fabrickator (talk) 19:49, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Many major SCOTUS decision articles use "was", such as Marbury v. Madison, Loving v. Virginia, McCulloch v. Maryland, Miranda v. Arizona, and others.  I go back and forth on which is better. "Was" is useful because it emphasizes that the decisions really are "decisions" which took place on certain dates. "Is" is useful because they have continuing applicability until they are overruled, but "is" also introduces the problem of requiring editors to decide when a decision has been overruled, which in my opinion would be a bad idea for many reasons.  White Whirlwind  05:49, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Some credit for bringing environmental concerns into the mainstream should be given to the 21 March 1970 (one month before Earth Day) broadcast of A Clear and Present Danger, the pilot episode of NBC's The Bold Ones series. 
"The son of a U.S. Senator takes on the cause of clean air when a friend dies of emphysema." 
I have no idea how many viewers the show had, but it must have been substantial and relatively upscale. 
NBC had promoted it heavily, and it had a prestigious cast including Hal Holbrook, E.G. Marshall, Joseph Campanella, Jack Albertson, Pat Hingle, and Jeff Corey.

Talk:Brewster F2A Buffalo

message: This section is misleading. Not only does it make an uncited and rather vague claim that the Buffalo may well have the highest ratio of aces to aircraft of any type but it gives a rather false impression of the aircraft. Flown by highly competent Finnish pilots and pitted against early Soviet types with no radios, the Buffalo might have looked good, especially since it was mainly engaged at relatively low altitudes. Against a well flown Zero with a highly experienced pilot at the controls, it was a sitting duck, as the pilots based on Midway found out during the battle of the same name. Captain Herbert Merrill was the only survivor of his flight. Severely burnt on the face, neck and hands, he had this to say:
: "The F2A-3 is not a combat aeroplane," he reported. "The Japanese Zero Fighter can run circles around the F2A-3. It is my belief that any commander that orders pilots out for combat in a F2A-3 should consider the pilot as lost before leaving the ground..." "Miracle at Midway", Gordon W.Prange, Donald M. Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon, Penguin Books, New York, 1982, p. 195
Second Lt Charles M. Kunz was also scathing:
: "As for the F2A-3...it should be in Miami as a training plane, rather than be used as a first line fighter." Ibid, p.197
The Brewster Buffalo was designed and ultimately selected as a first line fighter and it is in that capacity that it needs to be judged. Ironically, it was superseded by the type descended from the one it beat in the US Navy fighter competition, the F4F Wildcat. As a first line fighter it was undoubtedly a failure. In other senarios, like the Finnish Air Force, it was up against less formidable opposition and did rather better. But any inference that the type was underrated or secretly somehow good should not be made. Not if you take the words of the men who flew them against the Japanese at Midway, anyway.
