Talk:Uqbar

message: Mustafaa, I see you added into the article the quoted phrase "the lowlands of Tsai Khaldun and the Axa Delta marked the southern frontier". Yes, it's a phrase from the story, but I'm not sure of the relevance to this article, and just quoting it doesn't make the relevance clear. Would you agree with me that this is merely a fictional embellishment to the geography of the fictional Uqbar? We do discuss both of these names in the Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius article. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:07, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
:I'm not totally clear what the subject of this article should be, though; is it about the fictional Uqbar and its origins, or the real (?) Uqbar in Algeria? If 1, the quote is relevant; if 2, then the article might need some trimming... - Mustafaa 01:24, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Tsai Khaldun and the Axa Delta

message: The typical clever humour of Borges could be mentioned here - the idea he was trying to engender was that, similar to a double negative being a positive, so that a double fiction could be non-fiction.  Surprising that this 'joke' of Borges is missing from the current article. (20040302)
: Do you have anything citable for this interpretation? It is "left out" (here and at Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius) for the simple reason that we do not report opinions of random Wikipedians: this is part of what WP:NOR and WP:NPOV are about. - Jmabel | Talk 06:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  double negative as a positive 

message: Ubar is mentioned in "One Thousand and One Nights" and also in Lovecraft's tales. Since those works were well-known by Borges I think it is not unlikely it could be a source of inspiration for him.

thread_title:  The tables make the article hard to read. 

message: Currently In Astronaut Fatalities During Spaceflight, the number of people that have been to space (and thus the fatality rate) is using the USAF's definition of space instead of the Kármán Line, which is what most countries use to define the boundary of space. I suggest we change the number to fit what most countries would recognize as the definition of space. However, if we do this we would need to reconsider if the X-15's and Virgin Galactic's failures were still "spaceflight", as they never intended to cross the Kármán Line.

message: May 5, 2010, these two men were killed when working on a process to extract ammonium perchlorate from decommissioned military ordnance, for recycling into other military ordnance.  Aside from the fact that ammonium perchlorate has a function in the performance of a rocket engine, and a similar tragedy had taken place some twenty-two years previously which DID connect to the space program, their tragic deaths had nothing to do with spaceflight, and I'm not sure they should be listed here. 2001:1970:49A7:3000:41:B1D8:7439:C40A (talk) 03:35, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Comment 

message: The quality of the article does not seem to have improved since the comment above. A central point which is missing is the concept of duty as the action required by law. Also, there should be a general discussion of the necessary correspondence between rights and duties. Relevant here is the distinction between duty as recognized by law and duty as a moral obligation following the dictates of conscience or a higher law. This could be a potentially very rich and substantive article. However, much work needs to be done.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.66.226.95 (talk) 14:58, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Bobby Hatfield

message: Hatfield's deterioration.
I can't put this into the article because it is an undocumented personal impression.  Nevertheless, I saw the Righteous Brothers on TV on a golden oldie review in the late 1990's and thought that Bill Medley was still in fine voice.  Bobby Hatfield, however, was not in such good shape.  His eyes had the paranoid, antsy look of a chronic cocaine user and his voice was no longer the glorious instrument of the past, but a somewhat nervous and forced sounding imitation of himself.  I felt very bad for Bobby and for Bill.  A few years later Bobby was dead.

message: Anyone have a suggestion for what to put in place of my somewhat nonsensical translation "although the complementary or secondary component of agriculture is evident"? The original Spanish of the article was "aunque el componente complementario o de segunda actividad de la agricultura es evidente." To me, this original passage makes little sense, so I resorted to word-for-word translation. It's possible that this phrase was nonsensical from the start and should be removed, or it's possible that I simply missed the author's point here. Magnificat 02:02, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)

thread_title: Preserved counties

message: The article currently states that only three pieces of legislation had provisions which relate to preserved counties on 16 February 2011, with a reference to an archive.org link. The list seems surprising to me, as it omits the Lieutenancies Act 1997. If I follow the link, I get a page which only contains the text "This site doesn't exist, please check that you have typped correct address!" (sic).
archive.org has a 2012 copy of that page here, but this has a much longer list, and the list is dated 15/11/02. Some of the legislation on that list have no remaining provisions which refer to preserved counties, including the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986. Other acts on the list, such as the Representation of the People Act 1983, do.
I don't think there would be much value in adding the 2002 list to the article, as it's out of date, but I don't know if the list quoted in the article is any better, and I don't know of a more recent source for this topic.
I've added a tag to the article, but I don't know if there's anything else I should do. Aoeuidhtns (talk) 14:20, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Phase detector

message: phase difference only makes sense when comparing two signals with the same frequency. When you have the phase detector working in say the PLL, it manages to find the "phase difference" between two signals of unequal frequency.

thread_title: 4046

message: Instead of using two multipliers, a more common phase detector uses a single multiplier and a different trigonometric identity:
:\sin \alpha \cos \beta = {\sin(\alpha - \beta) \over 2} + {\sin(\alpha + \beta) \over 2} \approx {\alpha - \beta \over 2} + {\sin(\alpha + \beta) \over 2} 
The first term provides the desired phase difference.  The second term is a sinusoid at twice the reference frequency, so it can be filtered out. In the case of general waveforms the phase detector output is described with the phase detector characteristic.
In the above section, where I have put bold and underlined of the statement "The second term is a sinusoid at twice the reference frequency", I believe this is not the case unless alpha = beta which is not stated. It is indeed generally larger and able to be filtered, however I am not sure that we can say it is at twice the frequency?  Midoriimo (talk) 00:23, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Marcel Proust

message: The nytimes book review says "In England not long ago a survey of writers and critics revealed that the twentieth-century novelist they most admired--and who they thought would have the most enduring influence on the next century--was Marcel Proust." Maybe someone who has Harold Bloom's Genius can enlighten us to what it says. I feel that someone added the "French" qualifier and rather vague "of his time" on a whim.

Talk:Trishul

message: Can't see why there ought to be an entry devoted to a mythological Indian trident. Questionable topic at the very least, unless one wishes to cover the philosophy and spirituality behind the Trishul.
If that is so, the references to Vishwa Hindu Parishad or VHP are entirely superflous and irrelevant. The distribution of symbolic tridents was one of thousands of political gimmicks that occur in a country such as India. It most certainly doesn't warrant an entry in an encyclopedia. One strongly suspects the contributor either has a political agenda, or lacks a basic familiarity with the country in question. In this respect, the outlandish comparison of the VHP to a "paramilitary security force" is particularly hilarious and lacking in perspective.
The neutrality of this entry is highly suspect as not a single incident of violence has been attributed to the use of a symbolic "trishul".— Preceding unsigned comment added by Conradx (talk • contribs) 01:06, 8 November 2003 (UTC)

The difference is remarkable, since the former is an antonomasia. “Il Buono” should go along with the name (e.g. Amedeo III il Crociato), “il Re Buono” should not. Now, how does this translate into English? “Buono” is just “good”, “buon re” would be “good King”, but “re buono” is not the same as “buon re”!
