Talk:Polydrafter

message: When this page was created, it listed the enumeration of n-dudes for values of n from 1 to 6.  But what is a polydude?  The Mathpuzzle page by Ed Pegg Jr. says it is a polydrafter that does not "have any 30 degree vertices, or weakly hanging triangles." This is not two different ways of saying the same thing.  Some polydrafters have 30° corners and no weakly hanging triangles.
What does "weakly hanging" mean?  It could mean attached only by the short leg.  It could also apply to a cell attached only by half its hypotenuse, to the short leg of another cell.  And extended polydrafters have other possibilities, though Pegg does not consider extended polydrafters.
Pegg enumerates polydudes up thru 12 cells.  I suspect that it was Miroslav Vicher who enumerated them.  One of Vicher's pages  shows constructions with what Pegg calls "the 15 pentadudes" and "the 59 hexadudes." After looking at Vicher's set of pentadudes, I see no simple rule for characterizing them.
Entry A056843 in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences includes a note by David R. Wasserman.
Wasserman says in effect that the precise definition of polydude is not known, and offers an ingenious conjecture that he says does not quite fit Vicher's enumeration. Sicherman (talk) 01:43, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Sources for the term polydude seem very sparse. Maybe we should just remove it? Alternatively, if we could find published sources for the ambiguity of definition, we could say that it's ambiguous. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:37, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: So long as some combinatorial geometers are using the term polydude, I think that Wikipedia should go on mentioning it.  Later the geometers may clear up the uncertainty.  Then we can clear up the definition on this page. Sicherman (talk) 22:53, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Creation

message: Am I alone in thinking that the related games section devotes too much space to listing every variant of cricket? The games are only distantly related, and most of the variants were developed long after Baseball and cricket diverged almost 200 years ago, so really aren't part of the history of baseball. It seems to me that the chances of someone wanting to go directly to any particular cricket variant from a baseball-related article are pretty slim, and that all it does is bloat the template, reducing its usability for navigation, it's actual purpose. I'm going to trim that list down. oknazevad (talk) 05:18, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much cricket? 

message: User:Oknazevad, why not place cricket higher in the Related Sports section? It's bigger than all the other related sports combined, and it seems to me readers will get a lot of value out of knowing that a major world sport exists that is similar to baseball (especially since many in the baseball world, such as Americans, aren't aware of cricket). Elevating cricket wouldn't significantly diminish readers' abilities to find sports more related to baseball on that list either, since it need only take up the third spot. GreekApple123 (talk) 21:36, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's not that closely related. Games like softball, tee ball, wiffle ball, and the various simplified playground games are directly derived from it, while founders (both British and Irish versions) and British baseball are direct sibling games, being other regional takes on the more primitive sport, much as also existed in regions of the US before they were unified into standardized baseball. Cricket is more a distant cousin. And Americans are aware of cricket, even if they don't follow it. But what they're most aware about it is that it's not really that similar. :Plus, it's really also not as widespread in popularity as some think. Its popularity is mostly limited to former British colonies, though notably many of those are some very heavily populated countries and cricket is very popular in those countries: there is a reason the Indian Premier League is a top-ten league worldwide in annual attendance across all sports. But it has almost no presence outside the countries where it's popular. So it gives it undue weight for it to pe at the top of the list when there's more closely related games that actually tie into the history of baseball, the topic of the navbox. oknazevad (talk) 22:28, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Short Beach (Oregon)

message: I'm not 100% happy with the article as I posted it, mostly because it lacks references.  I know it's on maps, and I've seen tourist information about Short Beach, but don't have my hands on any of it at the moment.  I'm also frustrated with the origin of the name -- even though some locals who have lived near the beach for eighty years say it was named for a "Mr. Short", I haven't found anyone who can verify that.
My big reason for writing the article was confusion by people looking for Short Beach who weren't able to find it on Wiki!  Short Sands Beach, farther north, and Short Beach on the east coast of the U.S. are easily found, but I've been amazed at just how many people have expected it to be on Wikipedia if it's worth visiting.

Talk:Nectar (drink)

message: I don't like this definition of Nectar(drink). Clearly nectar is what bees feast on from a flower, a syrupy sugary substance - so the context of nectar as a drink must refer back to this. The connection to ancient Greek gods and ambrosia is very fitting. Nectar is surely the drink of the gods. The difference between a nectar and a juice must be more than that a juice is 100% fruit juice and a nectar is not. Something to do with sugar content or viscosity of the liquid would sit better. Nectar, like a peach nectar is thick and sickly sweet. A juice seems to have a higher water content, even as squeezed from its fruit, not necessarily reconstituted with water. Some fruits would not produce a nectar. Orange, Apple, Watermelon, tomato etc are so high in water content that they can only produce a juice. Concentrating these products would produce a syrup or a concentrate, not a nectar. Other fruits would not produce a juice. Strawberry, Peach, Guava, Apricot, are low in water content and  their drink forms so potent and thick they could only be called nectar.

3)  "abundance" is misspelled.
4)  Try to space out the images more evenly, or at least try to make it so that both pictures don't appear for the same section.

Yes, it is legally disputed, but I think Wikipedia should simply state the facts on the ground, and right now Gbagbo is the one who controls the capital and the largest city.
