Category talk:American people of Canadian descent

message: This catagory should become a super-cat under which would be two seperate cats:
* :Category:Canadian immigrants to America for people who have moved to the US more or less for good (have US citizenship, etc.) and
* :Category:Canadian expatriates in the United States for people who live in the US temporarily.
Either way, the articles in this category (but not in any sub-cats) should be for people of Canadian ancestry only. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kevlar67 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I am Canadian and this category seriously annoys me. It seems to imply that, to be Canadian you have to be American, too. Like we are the same country/nationality. I am Canadian. That's it.

thread_title:  annoying 

message: Aside from the fact that "Americans of Canadian descent" uses a lot more language, it completely misses the point. When someone is born in Canada and moves to the U.S., they are Canadian-American. John Babcock had dual citizenship, for example. He was both Canadian and American, not one or the other.Ryoung122 06:06, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: We've never really categorized people by dual citizenship. I don't think this category was meant for that, but if it was, it was a bit of a one-of-a-kind. As stated in the applicable naming conventions: "Concurrent citizenship may be reflected by duplicating the occupation (for example, :Category:Canadian actors and :Category:American actors for a dual American–Canadian citizen. Generally, categories that combine two nationalities and an occupation are not created)." You could propose creating a category for dual citizens at WP:CFD that didn't also have an occupation, but I kind of doubt it would get support. You never know, though.

thread_title: Untitled

message: This article is closely related to the (similarly empty) Irish Army enlisted rank insignia. Any information that might be added to one seems likely to be relevant to both, and at this juncture nothing is gained by having separate articles. Darker Dreams (talk) 05:26, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I went one extra step and merged this to Irish Army.  There was already a list of ranks on Irish Army and it seemed a bit silly to have two lists -- one with the insignia and one without.  Therefore, I moved the rank insignia onto the Irish Army page and redirected this page and the previous pages to there.   There's quite a bit of precedent to this as well.   Portugal, Austria, Denmark, Iceland, Spain, Turkey, and a few others do it the same way.  Niamh (talk) 19:57, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge_discussion 

message: I seen that there was a dedicated IAC rank insignia page but none for Irish Naval Service and Irish Army. There had been one for Irish Army but it was redirected and merged three years ago. Now I had planned on creating three distinct rank insignia articles for all three DF branches (and had gone ahead and created one for the Irish Naval Service) but it didn't really make much sense when the content wasn't any different. Creating three separate rank insignia article pages that duplicated existing content on the main article pages simply wasn't justified. But I still felt a separate article for Irish military rank insignia should exist, especially if only to include in the 'Military ranks and insignia by country' template. So therefore I created a new article page Irish Defence Forces rank insignia that the existing three rank insignia template data can be placed into and linked in relevant articles (Irish Army, Irish Air Corps, Irish Naval Service). 
PLEASE READ this talk page and justify your reasoning why this shouldn't be the case instead of unilateral changes and undoes. But remember it doesn't make any sense to have one article for Irish Naval Service rank insignia, one redirect/merge for Irish Army rank insignia (now merged into the main Irish Army article page) and one not existing entirely for the Naval Service (well, until I created it recently). Let's have some consistency for all three service branches folks. DojoIrl (talk) 03:08, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:D'Agapeyeff cipher

message: "Some" is undoubtedly a weasel phrase; I've therefore edited it out. Nevertheless, I believe reversion of the deletion is justified as there are indeed "some" who have not only made the stated claim, but are also in the process of applying GAs, notably Dr Gordon Rugg of University of Keele (whose work on potential decryptions of the Voynich MS was featured in Sci Am last year). 
As the author of one of the first papers in the refereed cryptologic literature showing how to use GAs for decryption, I'd also count myself among that weasely "some". I'd also argue that the inclusion of the statement could also help stimulate further progress using this particular approach. Robma 14:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tau Epsilon Phi

message: Friends, adding a name to the notable alumni section without references isn't encyclopedic. Please include references of some sort - preferably a link to a wikipedia page, if not, an external website that allows you to document the notability of the brother. Even if you cite an external website, editors of wikipedia will generally form a consensus as to whether the notability is enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia - so it still might get removed even after leaving references. So please think twice before adding your roommates name to wikipeda so they can google themselves... it's probably going to get reverted. 
Please discuss here. And remember to sign your posts please. (Bump from archive.  Some threads need to remain permanently on the talk page) Timmccloud (talk) 20:44, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Optimal Data Structures Algorithms 

message: Could someone give an example of a function to relate fitness to probability of selection? Seems like a simple concept, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
Article claims that: Selecting N chromosomes from the population is equivalent to playing N games on the roulette wheel, as each candidate is drawn independently.
What if multiple outcomes are the same ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.167.10.135 (talk) 21:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll bite - it's rather simple, because I've done it.  Suppose we're evolving a program to compute square root from a population of random programs.  We evaluate fitness of each individual as the root mean square error with respect to ten test values of square root.  That is, we run the program with each of ten input values, and record the error of the program's output (the putative square root of the input).  The root mean square error over the ten sample points is the fitness of that individual.  And we repeat that for each individual.  Since we want to select individuals with lower error, we invert the RMS error, i.e., normalize the fitness as 1/RMS, so that more fit individuals have larger values and less fit individuals have smaller values of fitness.  Now we sum the fitness values over the population.  Let's say that value is 52.  The fitness value of the most fit individual is let's say, 7.  The probability of selecting that individual is some function f(7,52).  The simplest (and maybe not the best, but commonly used), is f ~ 7/52 or 14%.  That mean's that there's an 86% probability that the most fit individual will NOT be selected, when aspirationally, we should like that one to be in the next generation. And analogously, unfit individuals may get lucky and be selected.  This phenomenon is called stochastic noise: since there was no direct competition between any of the candidates selected among each other, or between those selected and those not, we don't actually know if the fitness spectrum  is the correct ranking. As a side note, if all fitness values are all zero (or some other value), the genetic paradigm will not produce any useful evolution.  An initial population with variable fitness is required, or the fitness function needs to be adjusted to discriminate marginal differences in fitness among a population with very low or almost uniform fitness.

Talk:Star Trek Roleplaying Game (Last Unicorn Games)

message: User:Genesis asked the following in a comment in the mainpage source: "This article appears to be about two Star Trek games by Last Unicorn Games, Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. This should be clarified by someone who knows the relations between the games."
I can clarify, but I don't really know enough to put it in the main article.  LUG was granted rights to all four (at the time) television series and the characters therein -- but some weird provision of the contract required them to be treated as separate licenses.  So, the plan was to release four main RPG books, all using the same system, but each with a different title and no references to the other three.  It's seemed pretty silly to those of us playing it at the time.
Since they all used the same system, it's really more like four different campaign settings -- but you needed at least one to even create a character; there was no universal player's handbook or anything like that.
LUG lost the license(s) to Decipher before the Voyager and TOS books could be released, which is why only TNG and DS9 appear in the article.
Now, whether we should have separate articles on the two "games" (TNG and DS9), with the indication that they both used the LUG "Icon" system, I don't know.
