Talk:Peter French

message: There was all kinds of chicanery involved in the acquisitions of so-called swamp land from the state. My grandparents lived all their lives in Burns, I grew up in that country, and traveled a number of summers throughout Harney County with my grandfather, who was the County Surveyor and the Watermaster for that area. I heard many stories from the oldtimers about those events, but the one about Pete French damming areas, claiming them as swamp and then tearing down the dams is a new one to me. I'd like to see a citation for that. In Harney County, Oregon, and Its Range Land (Binfords and Mort, Portland, Oregon, 1951), George F. Brimlow quotes one of the early settlers of Harney County, Alphena Venator, on one incident: I well remember when Jake Ish and Henry Owens were filing claims on the Island Ranch and adjacent country. Later on when the settlers were contesting the swamp lands[,] in their proof Ish and H. Owens had sworn they rode from Camp Harney to the Venator Ranch in a boat. They did, but it was on a wagon. (p. 60f) That story I heard often.

The article was written in such a way that it seemed like a copyright violation, but running random samples of the text through google doesn't turn up anything. I'd love to see some sources for this info too. French was a colorful guy, I bet there's a good bio or two on him. Looks like an excuse for another trip to the library.

Talk:Stable manifold

message: This article on the Stable manifold
appears to me as a discrete time version of this notion.
Of course, on can formulate also a continous time variant.
Although, these two might be intimely related (time-one-map ?),
it might be nice to discuss the continous time case,
as most readers will probably come from dynamical systems,
where this seems more important.

message: The article is rather blank in it's current state. I suggest putting something about different techniques of fading.

It is easy to dislike the Daily Sport, and a genuinely "POV" article would be much less flattering. My article was there for long enough for the Sport publisher to raise legal issues if they felt it necessary; such publishers review the internet closely (as well as print and other media), and react to what they find, either by issuing writs or by partisan editing of articles.  I think that the absence of any such response warrants the removal of the "POV" tag from the article.  Guy (talk) 16:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

At the same time the article states that the sales order should record the customer's originating purchase order which is an external document.
To me it seems that it is the purchase order that is received by a business from a customer, and that the sales order is an internal document created by the business. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.84.201.2 (talk • contribs).
