Talk:List of ETH Zurich people

thread_title:  List of ETH Zurich people 

message: Question: why is she in the list? It appears she didn't do any significant work in mathematics and the only reason she was notable at all was because she was married to Einstein. Maybe imputable to the ETh, but still :)
:Albert Einstein was the greatest person of the 20th century. His name is so big that anyone who is somehow related to him will also be notable. Take the case of Marcel Grossmann. He has made contributions to physics. However, he is still know mainly because he was a friend and a classmate of Albert Einstein and he emphasized the importance of Non-Euclidean geometry to Einstein. In case of Marić, she was the wife of Einstin. Thus, she is notable. And, she must be included in the list. RS1900 09:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't even think about taking her out, the whole point of Wikipedia is that people like learning trivia like that. I came to this page to show my friend some of the famous people that went to ETH to help him decide which grad school to go to, and seeing names he recognized helped (whether or not they made contributions).

Talk:Homeopathic techniques

message: Hello Filll, you have undone my change. Could you please review? I believe the current sentence has it backwards.

Talk:List of accidents and incidents involving general aviation

message: I am afraid that this list has started to wander away from its subject, namely "general aviation" accidents. 
Examples: 
- January 29, 2013 – SCAT Airlines Bombardier CRJ200 airliner 
- April 13, 2013 - Lion Air Boeing 737-800; both are definitely not GA accidents.  
- February 13, 2013 – Ukrainian Antonov An-24 plane 
- March 4, 2013 – Fokker 50 cargo airplane; those two most probably are no GA accidents. 
The definition in para 1 may be misleading potential contributors: "... i.e. not military or scheduled airline flights." 
In order to clarify this my suggestion is to replace it by the definition in the article General aviation, namely: "all civil aviation operations other than scheduled air services and non-scheduled air transport operations for remuneration or hire." --Uli Elch (talk) 10:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: the Stearns writing in Jazz dance

message: For reference, there is a discussion relevant to this article at User talk:Steve Pastor. 
I am concerned that this article not become a platform for cooking up speculative theories about the African origins of the ring shout. Citations should be to work that deals specifically with the ring shout, not with any dance that happens to involve black people moving in a circle. 
Wikipedia has standards. If you haven't already, see the Five Pillars of Wikipedia. It may sound boring, but we're here to summarize what is known, not to come up with original ideas. Is everyone OK with that? If so, I suggest we stop capitalizing "African Circle Dance," leave the Maasai and Shona dances alone, and get back to the main topic. -- ℜob ℂ. alias ⒶⓁⒶⓇⓄⒷ 16:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I am curious where your understanding of Gallina migration came from Desertphile. The only connection from the Gallina region to the Mississipian region that has ever been presented was by Frank Hibben when he stated that the Gallina's pointed bottomed pots were reminiscent of Mississipian ceramics. So it is interesting that you would deny the only eastern link. Secondly, the pointed bottom ollas, excavated from Gallina sites have been found nestled within small floor pits. Thirdly, there is indeed a Rosa Phase. http://www.jstor.org/pss/275677  See the link and search for Rosa. Whether Rosa was the predecessor to the Gallina, is an entirely different question, though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lsborck (talk • contribs) 07:38, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I only read C. W. Ceram's account of Hibben's report in "The First American" (1972) so far, but there it's said that Hibben not only pointed out similarities of the ceramics with those of the Mississippi area, but ALSO that the sort of corn and squash the Gallina people planted came from the Iowa/Missouri vincinity. Now, judging from what I found with googling ("Rio Del Norte: People of Upper Rio Grande from Earliest Times to Pueblo Revolt" by Carroll L. Riley), the "Rosa phase" stuff seems to be based on the occurence of pithouses during early Gallina, which is rather weak, since that building style can be found at many places, and isn't typical for a single culture. Also, the gap between the end of Rosa and the start of Gallina isn't explained at all, and there's no explanation for the other differences and the Missippi/Missouri connection Hibben's found. Imho, regarding the obviously ongoing discussion, it's simply wrong to only bring up the "Rosa phase" as the sole explanation for where the Gallina people came from. But most importantly, that stuff should be sourced! Really, where's the effing problem in adding the references to the statements? Gray62 (talk) 08:16, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

There is no way to depict this compound in a two-dimensional line drawing without having awkward overlaps (such as the image in the reaction scheme) or distorted perspective (as in the infobox image).  But these images are useful ways to illustrate the connectivity.  To get an appropriate depiction of 3-dimensional geometry, a 3D model is needed - and, of course, the space-filling model in the infobox provides just that.  So what we have are multiple different depictions to appropriately convey different types of needed information.  Nothing is lacking, as far as I am concerned.
