Talk:Source (UNSW)

message: Regarding this quote from the text:
The Source is best known for it's Orientation Week Yellow Shirts volunteering program, 
which is widely regarded as the best and most extensive Orientation Week program of any University in Australia.
I have anecdotal evidence that UNSW's O-week is not only the largest in Australia but also in the South Pacific and South-East Asia. UNSW's O-week is the longest in Australia with other universities offering a maximum of 4 days (as far as I am aware). UNSW's is 5 days long. Apart from the length, by what other criteria can "largeness of O-Week" be measured and how would this information be collected? Witty lama
:I dunno. But a non-Source newspaper article or web source would satisify me. It's just that it's a faily bold statement to make without citing a source. CHANLORD [T]/[C]  00:55, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:National Enquirer

message: Whoever posted that Chatham Asset Management is retaking control of AMI, the subsidiary owner of the National Enquirer, "pending bankruptcy," took some editorial liberties with the article cited. The bankruptcy being discussed is that of McClatchy Newspapers, and not of AMI. Furthermore, there's no mention in the article of how CAM retook control of AMI, after its previous sale to the Hudson Group. So that question actually remains unanswered. But very clearly, this last sentence of this paragraph misstates what is said in the referenced article, and needs to be removed or modified, with an accompanying clarification of how the Chatham Asset Management hedge fund regained control or ownership of AMI and the National Enquirer.

thread_title:  ML estimate of ν/2 

message: The parametrisation given here matches that in Gelman et al (1996/2003), and perhaps also elsewhere.
But surely more natural would be for the distribution to be that of x = 1/s2, where s2 was the sample variance of ν samples from N(0, σN) ?  The scaling parameter σ2 used here is the exact reciprocal of that variance, σ2 = 1 / σN2.
I must work through more closely exactly what Gelman et al are doing with this distribution, but on the face of it, it seems to me that it would be much more intuitive to present the mean, mode etc of (1/s2) as scaling as
:{\mathrm{Mean}}({1/s^2}) = \frac{1}{\sigma_N^2}\frac{\nu}{\nu-2} \qquad \mathrm{and} \qquad
{\mathrm{Mode}}({1/s^2}) = \frac{1}{\sigma_N^2}\frac{\nu}{\nu+2},
rather than with σ2 as presented.  Jheald (talk) 12:34, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Update.  I think what I wasn't appreciating is that what this is a distribution for in the Bayesian context (namely σ2) is rather different that what it is a distribution for (namely 1/s2) when it is the distribution of an inverse chi-squared variable. Since the article is called "inverse chi-squared distribution", I have made a stab at re-writing the lead from that perspective, then mentioning the Bayesian context is a bit different.  I've also changed the letter used for the scaling parameter from σ2 to τ2, since in the context of the inverse chi-squared variable it is τ2 that makes rather more sense; and this should avoid confusion like mine about σ2 in this context that led to my comments above.  I've mentioned that σ2 is used for this parameter in the Bayesian context, and I intend to add a rather more detailed section about how the distribution occurs in Bayesian estimation of an unknown variable, perhaps using some of the material now at Normal distribution.  Hope that that is all right with everybody.  Jheald (talk) 21:52, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Page–Ladson site

message: The reference to elephant dung when explaining the implications of these "straw mats" needs to be explained to the non-expert reader (myself included). Pstanley (talk) 21:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this site, "[t]he elephant's digestion system is quite inefficient and only around 50% of the fodder eaten is utilised." That means that elephant dung is full of undigested plant fibers. (A number of people make paper from the fiber recovered from elephant dung.) When the dung is trampled by elephants walking over it, the fibers are pushed down into horizontal randomly oriented layers. If the digested portion of the dung was dissolved or washed away by water, you would have layers of fibers, the "straw mats". All of this, of course, is my own analysis, and I can't add it to the article without a reliable source to cite. -- Donald Albury 01:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Key Marco

message: Smithsonian records list Wells Sawyer or Wells M. Sawyer as the artist with Cushing's expeditions. There are many Google hits for Wells Moses Sawyer, American artist (1863–1960 or 1961), but nothing for Moses Wells Sawyer. In a quick search on the Internet I have not found any reliable sources that could be used to create a WP article for Sawyer, so I think it is premature to link his name. - Donald Albury 13:00, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

I really would like to find at least one more reliable source with useful information about Sawyer before creating an article for him.

*Counter-proposal to move to Davie Village (Vancouver). I think including the city name really helps with clarity, it would be consistent with the other city neighbourhoods, and the parentheses are easily removed with a pipe: Davie Village (You don't even have to retype the short form - just include the pipe symbol "|" like so: ). Perhaps more importantly, even if there is no other "Davie Village" article, naming it as such gives too much presence to a neighbourhood. Just as many cities are tagged with their province/state, neighbourhoods should be tagged with their city, unless it's something really, really well known. Ckatzchatspy 06:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Nahum Tate

message: The day Tate died is not clear. Various sources give differing dates. 
This needs to be explained. (And don't forget the Julian calendar.) Also a list of dates from credible sources would be good.

- https://www.libraryireland.com/biography/NahumTate.php
- https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900/Tate,_Nahum
9 August or 16 August
Publication from his time (in Google search results page): "August 6, 1715: Nahum Tate, departed this Life on Saturday last." Converting 6 August to gregorian (17 August) and going to the Saturday before results in either 9 August or 16 August, but for the latter I'd expect to read "departed yesterday" -- unlikely if the publication was not geographically near to the event; the news travelled slowly at that time.
July 30, 1715
- https://www.britannica.com/biography/Nahum-Tate
This is not simply a matter of converting julian to gregorian calendar (https://stevemorse.org/jcal/julian.html), for example:
12 August(gregorian) 
converted to julian calender: 1 August
julian to gregorian: 23 August
