Talk:Walter Chrysler

message: Regarding the sentence about "Johann Philipp Kreissler, born in 1672, who left Germany for America in 1709", I never had a problem with the info, just with the extremely lazy way that it was inserted. It was an entirely out-of-place non sequitur in the lede when an anon fobbed it off without any source, and it was an entirely out-of-place non sequitur in the #Childhood section when it was reinjected without a source. I moved it to the #Ancestry section, which is obviously the appropriate section for it, and I was adding a  tag when I decided to check into the "other researchers" refs and see if I could quickly cite it. It took a little legwork to put together a complete-ish  in the #Bibliography, but I ended up volunteering the time to do it. Even as an inclusionist and (more or less) eventualist, I recognize the need for a certain minimum level of sourcing and quality in the meantime. The immediatists do have a point—below a certain threshold, the encyclopedia is crappy if people insert stuff but can't be bothered with the quality level at all. I took a crack at leading by example in this case. Happy editing. — ¾-10 16:35, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: At least a certain bare minimum of effort

message: Part of the estate went to the United States Merchant Marine Academy, and the other part is now Stepping Stone Park. I know because I worked there. I do not have an online source, but the Merchant Marine Academy source listed is not inconsistent with this, so it would be nice if the passage could at least be rewritten to reflect that the Merchant Marine Academy is only on part of the land.
It was also my understanding that the land was donated... But that could be wrong. Or it could be that only the park portion was donated, and the academy portion purchased. I don't know. Daniel J. Hakimi (talk) 02:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I haven't been able to find much on wikipedia, but through archive.org, I can see there was once a stub and the beginnings of an article on the IOI. It seems strange to me that what an increasingly prominent think tank with frequent debates and events is represented on wikipedia by an almost-irrelevant article on a ~20-year defunct magazine.
If there is no reason why there is not a more expansive article on the institute of ideas, I might begin one in the future.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.154.197.10 (talk) 10:23, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:California Games II

message: On the 8th of July, the following was added, below the templates, and the category information:
:note that there was never a genesis release for california games 2 and yet it was released on the master system, a very strange desision by sega.
I removed it, due to feeling that it wasn't relevant, and also that it was badly worded and out of place. The following day, the same user added the following, again at the very bottom of the article:
:no megadrive version of california games in existance unless this assertion can later be actually shown to be incorrect
This was edited, the next minute, just to correct the title of the game (mentioning it was the sequel, rather than the original), and to surround the title with quotation marks.
Not immediately realising it was by the same user (I realised this after I removed the sentence though), I removed it, and added a note of "Not only was this added in the wrong place, but it was inappropriate, and there is no statement of a MD version anyway." in the edit summary.
And then, earlier today, the 18th of July, the same user added the following:
:the fact that california games 2 was never released on the megadrive is an important fact if it is true and should only be removed if there is a replacement statement to the contrary
I then removed the sentence again, and in the edit summary referred to this page. I write this immediately after making the most recent edit. Here is my opinion on the matter:
The fact that the game was not released on the Mega drive/Genesis is not relevant to the article, in my opinion. Do we add on the Halo 2 article that it was not released on the Xbox 360? Do we add that there are many ryth games that came out only for the PlayStation, and not for the PlayStation 2?
Not only that, but these contributions are badly worded, the last entry especially, which is self-referential. You say "should only be removed if there is a replacement statement to the contrary", but noone is arguing that it did come out on the Mega Drive. There is no need to mention that a particular game didn't come out on a particular system. If you feel that I am wrong about this, please feel free to state your reasons below, without forgetting to sign your post. --Dreaded Walrus 16:59, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

message: After looking through many railway maps globally (e.g. Google, open street) I would say that the number of horseshoe curves is almost endless, much contrary to spirals which I would estimate have reached here on Wikipedia far beyond half of all existing. ziczac is also quite uncommon but far more common then spirals, especially when including single reversals.
Maybe one shpould mnake that clear in the artyicle by stating something like: Horseshoe curves are uncommon on single track mainlines and very uncommon on double track mainlines. On sidelines and especially narrow gauge lines are horseshoe curves common in hilly terrain all over the world.

Category talk:Mathematics user templates

message: I feel that the mathematical expressions used in  and  should be exchanged. While complex number are often taught at school level, only a few people know how to use zeta functions. I came upon this idea, while thinking about the solution to a question posed at Template talk:User mathematician-3. I was about to write: "If you know the answer to the template expression, you can use the userbox", when I realized that the next level had an easier expression to evaluate. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 17:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But the expression on  is not really about zeta functions; it's about an infinite series which is very common in first-year calculus.  And likewise, the expression on  is not really about complex numbers, but about complex analysis, which is far less common to take.  I think they're in the right order.  Perhaps the right heuristic is that if you can rigorously evaluate the expression, then you can use the userbox. Ryan Reich 17:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The rigorous evaluation of the expression in  is taught in higher secondary schools. The rigorous evaluation of expression in  would (AFAIK) require use of zeta functions, taught only at college level. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Am I reading the expression \sum_{i = 1}^\infty \frac{1}{i} incorrectly?  It is a harmonic series, which is divergent, which I can prove five ways from Sunday is divergent using nothing more than calculus I learned in my third year of high school.  On the other hand, e^{i\pi} = -1 can not even be made sense of until you define the complex exponential function, which means you must define analysis in the complex plane, and this is not done until the second year of college at the earliest. Ryan Reich 18:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the evaluation e^{i\pi} = -1 requires complex expotential functions, something I was taught in 12th standard. In India we have 10+2 system of education, so making clear that 12th is still considered school level. The harmonic series is a very special series that can be evaluated using zeta functions, and equalls "−½". This is not taught until one takes higher studies in mathematics. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:30, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is certainly possible to define enough of complex analysis to get to e^{i\pi} in high school, but the equation is properly part of more advanced mathematics.  As for the harmonic series, you are clearly mistaking it for \zeta(0), and you should read Zeta constant and harmonic series to refresh your memory. Ryan Reich 19:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah yes...that may be possible. I will look it up. Probably I was thinking about \zeta(0) itself. Sorry for the botherations. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 19:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Grantsburg, Wisconsin

message: The longitude given in Geography is not the same as in the infobox. The difference isn't huge ... but why is there a difference at all?
Geography has 92°41′4″W, and gives the decimal form as -92.684718 - but the decimal form works out to be 92°41′4.9848″W; i.e. it should be 92°41′5″W.
The infobox has 92°44′2″W - a difference of just under 3′, which equates to about 3¾ km west, well outside Grantsburg's boundary.
The longitude in Geography is very close to the centre of Grantsburg - so it should be used in the infobox.

message: Khunrath is supposed to have visited Dee while the latter was in Bremen on the way back to England from his time in Bohemia.

See James Orchard Halliwell, (ed.), The Private Diary of Dr. John Dee, London: Camden Society, 1842, p.31 ‘June 6th, Dr. Kenrich Khanradt of Hamburgh visitted me’. The meeting, albeit on a different date, is reported by Elias Ashmole in Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum, London, 1652, p.483 ‘Here that famous Hermetique Philosopher, [Doctor Henric Kunrath of Hamburgh] came to visit him.’ Ashmole gives the date as 27 June 1589, possibly due to calendar changes.

replies: text: I disagree.  The monorail information should be left in the article, but indented one level in the header hierarchy, under the general heading "Monorails".  Headings should be added to describe other areas of company expertise and thereby expand the article.  The large percentage of material on the monorail is most likely due to the fact that it was the project that brought the company to world attention, especially after the Fahrenheit 451 film of 1996 used it for location scenes.

Talk:DXing

message: I strongly believe to leave this alone, and discuss in this section theory and concepts of DX communication, rather than the history and or description. Algorithms and/or methods should be post it here as well.
----
::When you say leave this alone, what are you referring to, the article or this talk page?
As far as methods, there is a number of ways I for one DX. I live in an apartment so I have to deal with a ton of EMI and RFI from numerous sources. Given that there are so many computers, televisions, microwaves, and other devices within short distances of my radio, I have to keep it near a window to get decent reception. Lately I've been noticing that I can only get stations from either the north or south, which is the direction my radio faces. If I turn it to east or west (the radio itself) all I hear is interference.
Putting a radio close to a window or even DXing outside allows you to hear everything relatively interference clear, on all bands.
Different antennas I use include the radio's built in AM antenna (I primarily DX on Mediumwave) I also have used a number of loops custom designed for the AM band. Any antenna, even if its just a piece of wire, helps.
I also collaborate with other DXers and we are always sharing finds and even triangulating stations at the same time. What I mean by that is that we are on the phone with each other, and are listening to the same frequency to see if we can get the same thing. The other DXers I collaborate with are not in my state and are often long distances away. Some are relatives :D.
If you'd like any other information, specifically related to mediumwave, post it on my talk page. Thanks! Milonica (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
