message: I've got some sources. The standard way to add info might be to gather facts from many sources on one section or subtopic, and add a summary of those, then move to a new subtopic. However, to me  that seems to be more work. I think I'll just grab a source, add as much as seems useful from that source, then move to another. That may temporarily make it seem like the whole article is too heavily written from one source... Moreover, some sources I get around to using later may modify info from ones used earlier. That's OK too, in the long run. ♦ Lingzhi2 (talk) 08:44, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

:Good question. Why on earth is this here? We already have Un Ballo in Maschera. I've never heard it called Amelia before. Looks like a merge is in order. --Camembert
:OK, I've removed the stuff on the opera, which hasn't left much here. If Ballo is ever called Amelia (I don't think it is), then we can point to the article on it from here, but otherwise, I think that's it. --Camembert
Emilia is not "spanish for Amelia" is spanish for Emily. Emilia and Amelia are two distinct names in Spanish. I am from Spain and in my family we have several Emilias and at least one Amelia. Plus the latin "ae" converts in spanish as "e" so Aemilia in spanish is Emilia, and since in the article says  Aemilia translates into english as Emily, I think the consequence is obvius.

thread_title:  Example in article 

message: Regarding the discussion from 2006 above: I wasn't a participant but I think the article is still in need of a rewrite.  I'll see if I can come up with proposals, but I'd hope for it to discuss statistical randomness, pseudo-randomness in terms of computational complexity, computational randomness, arithmetic randomness, set-theoretic randomness, and maybe more.  In particular I saw a set theoretic definition that I had hoped to find out more about (I don't know much set theory).  It said something like (my maybe screwed up paraphrase): let M be an inner model of an ambient universe V.  Let x be a real in V's real unit interval (0,1).  We say x is random with regard to M if x is not in any measure-zero subset of M's real unit interval.  I may have that wrong, but it went something like that, and I hoped to understand it better from here.  Won't V normally have reals that are not in M at all?

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Postal stationery

message: Postal card needs its own stub.  It is frequently confused with the term postcard, but they are quite different.  The word postcard has its own link now and a goodly amount of material.  The term postal card does not have its own listing and when you type it in, you get redirected to postcard.  The difference is that a postal card is a piece of postal stationery with an indicia or indication of pre-paid postage and is generally available from postal authorities.  A postcard is available at commercial outfits and you have to separately apply a postage stamp to mail it.  I'm new to this editing.  How does one break a redirect link and start a new stub?  Bobdatty 17:20, Nov 25, 2010 (MDT)
:Bobdatty it may not be quite as easy as you suggest because, as you see, the first image in postcard is a postal stationery item called "Post Card" which I think undermines your idea. It might be better to keep one article, leave the redirect and distinguish them clearly rather than have separate articles. You don't blank a redirect and leave it that way; you remove the redirect code and immediately add the prose you want for the article you are starting. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 03:20, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
