message: This page needs a major tidy: there are many entries in which which are not business schools, but university which teach business. A business school has to be a school, department or free-standing university. But, for example, Harvard University is not a business school, and is not only a business school: it is a university that contains a business school. The United States is not a lake, but it contains lakes. So, I will remove universities from the list with the exception of universities like WU Wien, which teaches only business. --Duncan (talk) 21:26, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Big Mouth Billy Bass

message: Added a sentence about Queen Elizabeth II of the U.K. owning a copy of the toy.  I know we can't list everyone who owns one, but it demonstrates the extent of the popularity the toy enjoyed.  Also, it goes well next to the Foxworthy quote.

Talk:Wine Country (disambiguation)

message: The idea that an area where XX is called "XX country" is a definition that can be found in any (larger) dictionary. Personally, I think at the point that something can be sourced to The New Zealand Oxford Dictionary, it's close enought to self evident.--Limegreen 10:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:José de Escandón, 1st Count of Sierra Gorda

message: The official name of Province of Santander is from 1833 after the Spanish provincial division of Javier Burgos to 1982 with the autonomy of Cantabria. Before and after the region had other names.
# 200aC-19 aC - Cantabria
# 19aC-???? ?????
# 714- Ducado de Cantabria
# 7??- Asturias de Santillana + Trasmiera + Liébana
# XII- Hermandad de las Cuatro Villas,Hermandad de las Marismas, + merindad de Asturias de santillana-Liebana + pernia-Castilla la vieja-Aguilar del Campoo
# XVI -popular y literary "La Montaña"
# XV  With Catholic Kings - Corregimiento de las Cuatro Villas
# XVIII - Cantabrian o Cantabria to institutions, organizations and jurisdictions.
# 1727 - "Provincia de Nueve Valles" + el Partido y Bastón de las Cuatro Villas de la Costa
# 1778 - Provincia de Cantabria
# 1821 - Provincia de Santander.
# 1982 - Autonomous Community of Cantabria
I don´t know if Escandón give the name to the village in honour to the city of Santander or in honour to the Province of Santander or to the diocese of Santander. I suppose the first option. But anyway the official name of the province in that moment was Cantabria, and that´s the name which should appear in the article.
The information of the origin of the name is important, but should be mentioned in another way.
--Uhanu 19:14, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good information — you did a lot of research. I'll make the change if you haven't already done it. I assumed he named Nuevo Santander after the province, because it is provincial size rather than city size. But it could have been the city. --Rbraunwa 22:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The official name of the province may have been one thing, but the region around the city of Santander was known as Santander in the larger region of Cantabria.  And, yes, Escandón named a bunch of places in honor of his home region (and people too).  See   He didn't name any places Cantabria, because he thought of himself as from Santander.

Talk:Grothendieck group

message: Is it really correct to call the simple construction (of the universal covering group of a monoid) the Grothendieck group? Every time I've seen it presented, it was done so without the Grothendieck name attached to it, whereas  the Grothendiek group is only discussed for Abelian categories, and not just on plain monoids (which is more simply the "universal abelian group" or something like that.  linas 19:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This came up in discussion on Talk:Semigroup. I would like to expand on the definition of the simpler thing, which I'm afraid might make the article very long, kind of drowning out the bit about the abelian category. Thus, perhaps, would it be agreeable to split this article into two, assuming that a name can be found for the "simpler thing"? (I don't know what it should be called, and notes that I have do not give it a name). linas 19:42, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  It's an old comment, but I agree with linas.  I think the simpler construction is due to Ore, well before Grothendieck, and is only attributed to Grothendieck by people who otherwise don't study semigroups. -- Walt Pohl (talk) 19:54, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Correct title?

message: The first sentence of the article is vague and not rigorous. It says: "the grothendieck construction...constructs an abelian group from a commutative monoid, in the best possible way".

thread_title:  "Best Possible Way"? 

message: There is a clarify-tag for "zero element", and perhaps it is time to clarify it.

thread_title:  British anti-communists? 

message: The statement early in the article that Sir Alexander Gray "was born at 1 Marshall Street in Lochee near Dundee" is slightly problematic to my mind. By the time Sir Alexander was born, Lochee was a part of what was then the burgh of Dundee, having been annexed some years earlier. Thus saying it was near Dundee in 1882, would be a bit like saying today Leith is near Edinburgh or Govan is near Glasgow. Also I note that the source which is cited next to Lochee is a Dundee Post Office Directory from the 1860s - 'Dundee Post Office Directory 1868–69 (Lochee). I am not sure why this citation is here. It cannot show anything about where Sir Alexander Gray was born as it was published over ten years before his birth. There is also no page number of further details, yet Dundee Post Office Directories for this period, including from the 1880s, are freely available online via the National Library of Scotland's website. It seems a really odd inclusion, but perhaps I am missing something. Dunarc (talk) 20:29, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
