Talk:Professional American football championship games

message: Uh, what about the Canadian Football League? Shouldn't this be at American professional football etc, then? Adam Bishop 23:42, 4 Jan 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: The article currently states: Since there were only four seasons (1966 - 1969) which ended with games between the champions of two different leagues, there have been only four true world championships of professional football. Claims by the NFL or other leagues that their champions were world champions in other years are spurious.
But since all the AFL teams were taken into the NFL beginning with the 1970 season, all of the teams which had previously been competing for the world championship during 1966-69 continued to compete for the Super Bowl in later years. In other words, if the winner of Super Bowl IV was a true world champion having been the champion of the NFL and AFL combined, then the winner of Super Bowl V was also, since the exact same pool of teams competed for the Super Bowl championship in both years. The exact structure of the league should not matter. --Metropolitan90 17:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Classical test theory

message: I tried to clean up the article.  The description of the basic definition is correct and no longer redundant.  However, it may leave too much unsaid (e.g., nothing is said about expectation or covariance of the error scores).  The material objected to by Chris53516 is now completely gone.  I tried to clarify that this entire article is described in the works cited at the end; I think this should be sufficient (rather than citing these works repeatedly for each individual assertion within the body of the article).
A question is how much to write about reliability?  On the one hand, CTT is basically a theory about how to compute reliability; on the other hand, there exists an article on reliability.  I think the amount here is probably good.  Other results, like Spearman's  disattenuation formula or the S-B Prophesy Formula are not mentioned.  I favor reporting all the results, similar to the presentation in Chapter 3 of Allen & Yen.

Talk:Seminole (tribe)

message: Prior to 8/30/2005, this article stated that 4,000 Seminole warriors fought against as many as 200,000 U.S. soldiers during the Second Seminole War (SSW). A review of John Mahon's definitive history The Second Seminole War, or other sound sources, shows that the total population of the Seminole Indians in Florida was estimated at 4,000—this was the population of men, women, and children, not the total of the warriors. From the total population, Mahon and others have estimated a range of 900 to 1,400 Seminole allies who fought during the SSW. Of these allies, about 250 of them were estimated to be Black Seminoles.
These numbers, incidentally, do not include the 385-plus plantation slaves who joined the Black Seminoles during the war in 1836. Of those slave recruits, however, there are no firm ratios of warriors-to-non-combatants, so it is safer to stick to the known facts.
Changes were made 9/30/2005 to reflect these numbers.

thread_title: Move

message: I have heard that RPGs are a specific family of weapons, in the same way the AR-15, M16 and M4 are. Ergo, calling an RPG a specific type of weapon is like saying the AR-15 family aren't assault rifles (Shoulder-launched missile weapon in the RPGs' case)) but their own specific form of firearm. So, is this true? There seems to be some confusion in the wikipedia articles about rocket launchers. --Philip Laurence 06:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  RPGs a family of weapons? 

message: The AT-4 which is shown in the side picture is actually not a rocket launcher but a recoilless rifle. That is, the projectile is launched from the weapon and then flies unpropelled. Strangely, the US army manual refers to the weapon as a rocket launcher, possibly due to internal nomenclature, and this has led to some confusion among the aremd forces of that nation. Adding to this is the fact that the AT-4 fires a HEATFS-T where the T stands for tracer, so the shooter will see a glowing dot at the rear of the projectile. this is sometimes believed to be a rocket exhaust.
A better picture might be of an RPG-7 or a m72 LAW firing.

Talk:Persia/Archive 2

message: What was once written many decades ago (c. 100 years ago), that the Persians in Iran comprise 51% of the population is an outdated data. That estimation was made when the Metropolitan Tehran had 1 million inhabitants. Right now it has 15 million. A great majority of these inhabitants are Persianised Azaris, Kurds, Gilaks etc. during the recent history. The latest official statistical data of Iran based on a population concensus states that 86.4% of the people in the metropolitan Tehran speaks Persian as his/her mother tongue and considers himself/herself of Persian ethnicity. This process is not confined to Tehran and has been in progress in whole of Iran in the last century.
Recent university theses which deal with these changes estimate the Persians of Iran to be around 70% of the population now.
:A few questions:
:*Why do you think the 51% population estimate is outdated and belongs to 100 years ago? It is based on the CIA statistics from http://cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ir.html#People.
:*How does a 70% of Persians of Iran get deduced from a 86.4% of them in Tehran?
:*Do you know and could you cite any official statistics from Iranian sources about the matter?
:*Would you please cite a few of those university theses?
:roozbeh 13:19, Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)
::I am not the person who wrote the above note but I would like to add to this discussion if I may.  Firstly, I tend to agree with the statements made above and to my mind they are reasonable and even conservative figures.  I myself have many relatives both in Tehran and other cities, of Gilaki, Kurdish and Azeri origin who have been "Persianized", to borrow the term used here, for several generations now and my own mother is one such example.  Regarding CIA World Fact Book, I must say it is not a bad reference, but it is far from accurate, particularly about Iran where they do not have direct contact.  Many of its figures about Iran have remained unchanged for the past serveral years.  Regarding "How does a 70% of Persians of Iran get deduced from a 86.4% of them in Tehran?" I must say that if you read the sentence immediately before the "70%" sentence, it indicates that "This process is not confined to Tehran and has been in progress in whole of Iran in the last century".  Personally, I find that statement to be reasonable and credible.
I cited the CIA Factbook in the article and put up a Disputed notice on the main Demographics of Iran article.  Fishal 06:40, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Soy sauce

message: The sections need to be split so it's not Japanese-heavy.
(Southern) Chinese do it differently: https://www.epicurious.com/ingredients/how-to-buy-soy-sauce-like-a-pro-article
https://www.saveur.com/chinese-soy-sauce-history
Traditionally, Chinese Southern Soy sauce does not have wheat. Instead, the soy beans are boiled and then fermented in the sun separately, as supposed to the Korean method of making a paste and drying that in the sun. Also the Chinese version used to take a year and a half to make compared to the Korean version which is roughly 6 months from dried bean boiling to completion, though it can ferment for longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8KROYYHvRU <-- says year and a half from China Daily
The second article also details the history of soy sauce a lot more than the wikiepdia article. It might be worth adding.  
(I can't find Northern versions of soy sauce.)
The Korean method has air and sun, but added wheat, I'm suspecting as binder for the blocks.
The Japanese method doesn't use sun or air.
There is a video, though I can't back it up with a reliable source where it shows that a even more southern version makes a slurry of sorts, adds candlenut, and other spices to make a sweet soy sauce.
Meaning that the ways that soy sauce initially start vary greatly and the article should not make Japan as the "true" version, but note the regional differences and climate differences in a historical and chronological fashion so it doesn't favor one nationality of region of soy sauce over another.--KimYunmi (talk) 19:19, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

message: A common criticism of denominationalism is that it tends to create a Protestant primacy in Christianity, leaving the large and historic Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox institutions as mere sects among a vast college of fairly recent Protestant denominations. In fact, the Roman Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox have countered this by enhancing ecumenical efforts in a way that leaves Protestants out in the cold. The recent clarification on subsistit in and the declaration of Ravenna assert that the two Churches are in fact one Church in Christ with the bishop of Rome as its visible leader, while Reformation Churches are mere ecclesial communities which do not have a valid priesthood and an acceptable apostolic succession.
