message: This section, which focuses on the interpretation of two art objects from Benin, should be deleted. An "interpretation" by nature is in contrast with Wikipedia's policy of NPOV.

Talk:Littlewood–Offord problem

message: I have added the 'expert' tag, since
1) the theorems are incorrectly attributed (e.g. the Littlewood -- Offord lemma as formulated is not due to Littlewood and Offord, and surely can not be strengthened: it is sharp for equal numbers);
2) there are no references,
3) probably one should define the Levy concentration f-n, and mention more advanced results (such as the Halasz lemma).

Talk:Cyclotomic field

message: That is not always a normal basis. Any linear dependence among them would kill their ability to form a normal basis. Linear dependences of the form a+b=0 occur whenever n is a multiple of 4, since then 1 + n/2 is relatively prime to n and the 1 + n/2 power of any primitive nth root of unity is just its additive inverse.
(This example can be generalized to n whenever n is not squarefree; then one gets products of a primitive nth root of unity with all pth roots of unity adding up to 0, whenever p is prime and p^2 | n.)

thread_title:  Fermat's last theorem 

message: The article Gaussian rational states nothing unique for Q(ζ4) among others Q(ζn). Any cyclotomic field is "neither ordered nor topologically complete", is "an example of an algebraic number field" and "a Galois extension of the field of rational numbers". Q(ζ4) is a quadratic field, but Q(ζ3) also is Q(√−3). Surely, its ring of integers has an independent notability, but Q(ζ3) has a notable ring of integers too.

message: Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

message: That's a nice-looking graphic for the light cone, but the caption beneath it doesn't sound right. It says:
"The lower quarter of the diagram shows the events that are visible to the observer, and the upper quarter shows the light cone- those that will be able to see the observer."
The light cone consists of both the lower and upper quarters, no? Also, visibility to an observer is along the past light cone's surface. Visibility of an observer is along the future light cone's surface. So, shouldn't the passage say something like this?:
"The lower quarter of the diagram shows the observer's past light cone -- events that can affect the observer -- and the upper quarter shows the observer's future light cone -- events that the observer can affect."

Talk:Ford Falcon (Argentina)

message: Does anyone else think it might be necessary to get pictures of the Ford Falcon models that were used they the death squads, so we can see just how different they are from models produced in other countries. The disambiguation page lists: Argentina, Australia, and North America as the different version. So as to reassure us that the Ford Falcon (Argentina) page was not produced by Ford people so its nasty bit of history, however connected or not to the Ford company, would blemish the image of Ford less by not having it on the Falcon's main page.  Does that make sense, is it necessary, and would the pics in general add to an encyclopedia entry?

Talk:P. A. Payutto

message: Its is uncommon in Wikipedia articles to use the first name of the subject of the article. It would be better if the monastic name "Payutto" was used, under which Ven. Payutto is known in the English-speaking world. See also MOS:SURNAME.
S Khemadhammo (talk) 18:05, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: MOS:SURNAME doesn't apply to Thai people; see the subsequent subsection in the same page. However, using the first name might not be appropriate for monks as a specific group. I'm not familiar enough with the subject to recommend either way. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:42, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: In accordance with wp:COMMONNAME, he should be called 'Luang Phor Payutto', or if you want to drop the honorific, 'Phra Payutto'. Though it is common to refer to monks by their first name, in Thai culture scholar monks are often an exception to this. Even if you would just refer to him the first name, you would still have to add 'Phra', because 'Prayudh' is a very common name in Thailand, almost like 'Jack' or 'John', and monks are just simply never addressed without at least the word 'phra'.
