message: One sentence under Generalizations reads as follows:
"In algebraic topology, the cup product is a far-reaching algebraic generalization of the linking number, with the Massey products being the algebraic analogs for the Milnor invariants."
To the best of my knowledge, cup products (of cohomology classes) in manifolds are not directly relevant to any linking numbers. Rather, they are dual to the intersection pairing on homology.
(It is true that the intersection of homology classes can be used in the definition of linking number. But the intersection of homology classes is definitely not the same as linking number per se.
So, this sentence needs to be radically altered.Daqu (talk) 04:32, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Hello there, my name is Martin Lubell, and I'm starting with my Masters program in Bioinformatics at Johns Hopkins University. In our Molecular Biology of the Gene class, we are also beginning to learn how to edit Wikipedia articles. I was wondering if you would allow me to add a section on how the Linking Number relates to DNA. Thank you, m a r t i n MartinLubell (talk) 06:08, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Martin. You are welcome to add a section on anything that is relevant to the page. Moreover, you don't need to ask permission - Wikipedia encourages new editors to be bold!

message: As it stands at this moment the linking number in the integral form does not coincide with the original definition by Gauss.
Indeed the natural orientation of the unit sphere is given by the outwards normal vector, while the orientation of the torus is given by the order of circles in the product of two circles. In such settings the Gauss linking integral will be negative to the one written in the article. 
All the best,
Oleg Karpenkov
Original Gauss definition is from (p.605):

On Ankara, IMO the correct way would be to compare  with , i.e. post-1900 results. And if one discounts the dozens of reprints of Gibbon, the number for "Angora" is even lower. Similarly, if in 400 years the Siege of Scutari is more commonly referred to in literature as "Siege of X", then I'd support that one. Constantine   ✍  19:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Polyandry in Tibet

message: This article is pretty bad in my estimation.  Admittedly, I didn't read the whole thing (I couldn't bear it) but here are two quick observations:
The opening paragraph doesn't do a sufficient job distinguishing polyandry from polygamy.
The "Goldstein" in the article is obviously Melvin Goldstein, not Marcus Goldstein. 
I could go on with many more simple errors.

replies: text: I fixed the worst things, incl. the Marcus misidentification dating from 2005! But polyandry is a type of polygamy.  Here, following the anthropological literature for the region, we also want to add discussion of polygynandry, the multi/multi variant, as well as treat polygyny and polyandry as manifestations of the same thing, translated for gender. The causes in Tibet of the two are alike.  --Mareklug talk 08:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Portapak

message: Every biography on Nam June Paik I read - including the one on wikipedia - states that he recorded his first video with a Portapak as soon as they were available, in 1965, in New York. So either the Sony Portapak was introduced in 1965 (and not 1967 as this article says), or all the biographies are wrong and he used another device? The 1965 date comes from Mark Shapiro's article - the link went dead, but the article is available on the internet archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20061129205222/http://www.internetvideomag.com/articles2002/HistoryofCamcorders.htm . Although Shapiro is a specialist on the matter, the article being an online publication, with maybe little editorial review, i guess it could be a simple mistake.
 
The 1965 date can be found in many published sources, among others Johanna Branson Gill: VIDEO: STATE OF THE ART, 1976 (Included in the 1992 Eigenwelt der Apparatewelt Ars Electronica Catalogue) and Callie Angell: Doubling the Screen: Andy Warhol's Outer and Inner Space, who writes: 
::"The summer of 1965 was the time when portable, affordable video equipment designed for the home market first became available to the general public; a number of different companies, including Sony and Matsushida, were developing their own home video recording systems and beginning to market them at prices ranging from $500 to $1000 each. (...) Affordable video equipment became available only in the summer of 1965, and Andy Warhol actually used it before Paik did. Nam June Paik’s first videotape was shot with portable Sony equipment on October 4, 1965 and exhibited the same day at the Café-au-Go-Go, in an exhibition called “Electronic Video Recorder.” 
I notice this question is also discussed on the Video_art page, without a satisfying answer. --H9x (talk) 23:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't think it's correct to descibe the recorder as a "VCR unit." I worked with PortaPaks in the mid-70's, and they used open-reel tapes, not cassettes. When VCRs became popular in the 80's, I would sometimes hear people call the Portapak a VCR, I think in part because they confused "VHS" with "VCR."  Fuflans (talk) 02:45, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

message: I don't see how the formula proper is self-referential; it is effectively a bitmap image renderer and the value of n given happens to be the bitmap for the equation, but n could just as easily be given a value for a picture of a rectangle, or 1+1=2, or the name of each person viewing it. The interesting information is in the value of n, not within the formula, making the formula nearly uninteresting except as just one example of an infinite number of formulas capable of generating similar images.
If this is not the case, I'd like to see a cite that explains why this particular formula should be labeled "self-referential" in the absence of this particular value of n. The cites I read don't seem to discuss this in any detail. —Chris Page 10:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
