Talk:Q-statistic

message: I'm not that into statistics, but I think this should be fused with Dixon's Q test. Bastion Monk (talk) 15:38, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

message: I've converted this article to a disambiguation page that points to the respective statistical tests, to resolve the problem that normally the same article should not describe two different topics, in this case Q-statistic (uppercase) and q-statistic (lowercase). However, there are technical limitations in the software that prevent the creation of independent articles (Wikipedia article titles are case-insensitive for the first letter). Another option could be to use titles with parenthetical disambiguation, but I think this is more straightforward since the article is so short (and it also allows removal of the cleanup template). Perhaps that solution could be used in the future if the topics grow enough to require their own articles. Sunrise (talk) 07:22, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tyrone Kennedy 

message: hey, these things are  wire fibula pins. The fibula  didnt neccessarily have spring loading, but often they did, but with poor non-spiral bend, they were rather complicate.. still the spiral spring is hardly the Hunt invention. Its just an engineering development to add it to the fibula. Some fibula are not spring.. rather more of a broach or belt buckle, or belt buckle style clasp... Well a belt buckle is nothing more than a penanulla  .. a circle or semi circle with a pin a cross it .. the pin far longer than the diameter though.. that was because there was no clasp to hold the pin tight, so the pin had to be long and held clear of the cloth... So a fibula has the pin just long enough to go across the semi-circle ..circle,semi circle, who cares.. its a fibula because it has a clasp to hold the pin.  Broad.. the arm that holds the clasp is decorative. A broach could be used to pin cloth together, or used purely as decoration.  Anyway...  so we could call it a spring fibula, or spring pin.. which ? Ill call it spring fibula.

Talk:Torrance Unified School District

message: TUSD also has an adult school (located on 182nd Street) that lost it's accredition by the Western Association of Schools several years ago and has not been able to earn it back.
What this means in practical terms is any TUSD high schooler who takes classes via the adult school can apply the credits toward graduation, but the coursework is NOT recognized by the the UC and CSU systems.  In addition, student athletes who have taken courses at the adult school will not have their coursework recognized by the NCAA, making them ineligible to participate in NCAA sports.
Many TUSD students attend the George Kiriyama Community Adult School (with campuses in Gardena and Carson), part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, in lieu of the TUSD adult school as the LAUSD schools are recognized by the UC and CSU systems as well as the NCAA.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.87.203 (talk) 17:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor

message: After adding a brief introduction and the link to the offical website, I saw a notice on top of the page saying that this page might be deleted soon because it does not concern any significant people or groups.
I was quite shocked to see this because I thought that Wikipedia would allow every single new title to exist as soon as it has contents that have NPOV. But obviously I was wrong.
Also, I don't know how they evaluate the value of a page. How do they know that a person or an organization or a topic is significant or not?
Anyway, I am sure that this page cannot be deleted because it is my mid-term project and it carries marks. :P
I wonder how I can stop Wikipedia from deleting this page and I also wonder whether other pages have the same situation...

The part for "Current and Future Activities" is also not very appropriate because it looks as if we are promoting their future events.
For the "Human Rights Day", can it be moved under "Their Work"?
For "Funding", I think it should be about who have donated to HKHRM or how did HKHRM get their donations instead of saying things like "Donations are appreciated and are non-refundable".
For "Criticism", it would be great if we can find some comments from the government or other organizations.

Talk:Karambit

message: I edited Korambit to redirect here. This is the text I removed from that page:
:Korambit is a curved dagger pointed at the tip. The Korambit was born in the Indonesian archipelago around the 13th century with roots in the Philippines and Malaysia. A Korambit is much like the sickle, albeit small in scale and more curved inwards like a hook.
If the 13th century comment could be verified it'd be useful info. to add. JJL 14:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Korambit page 

message: I'm curious about the opening claim "As proven by its etymological roots". The prevalence of the name "kerambit" or "karambit" is simply an artifact of linguistic borrowing, and does not in any way prove original geographic origin. 
It would be like claiming that the proa originated from Malaysia simply because the word the Europeans brought back with them was Malay (perahu). We all know, however, that proas are omnipresent and is an integral part of the Austronesian cultural identity. It's what enabled our ancestors to colonize the islands of the Indian and Pacific oceans after all.  Proas exist from Polynesia to Madagascar, just under different names. Names that ultimately didn't make it to English.
I argue that the same is true with karambit. In the Philippines for example, this farm implement (used somewhat like a sickle) is known more commonly as kalambit (karambit being a rhotic variant). As a verb, kalambit in Visayan means to scratch with your nails, to snatch at, to hang on. 
A closely related word is kabit, which means to hang on [with your nails/fingertips]. The archaic form of the word, kalabit, also means to gain someone's attention by lightly flicking your finger on their back. The action is similar to scratching someone lightly with just the pads of your index finger. It serves in the same way as the western shoulder pat or elbow nudge.
As a noun, kalambit is also an archaic word for bats, since they hang down with their claws. Modern Cebuano has evolved it to kalapanit and kwaknit however.
These words and variants of it are present in all Austronesian languages in the Philippines indicating native origin. Having preexisting cognates and native spellings makes no sense if this farm implement was truly introduced and foreign.
And lastly. It's a FARMING tool primarily. Not a weapon. And it's a very basic tool at that. And all Southeast Asian Austronesians have another thing in common besides proas. They cultivated rice extensively. It's far more likely that this tool was a pan-Austronesian thing. Rather than a [relatively] recent invention from Sumatra. Though it may be true that they were the first to weaponize it.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 15:06, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
