Talk:Arthur F. Burns

message: A lot of references say Burns was Austrian, but this is not true. He was born in a town in Galicia, which is a region encompassing the Polish-Ukranian border (the town is now part of Ukraine). Galicia was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire at the time, but that doesn't make him Austrian. His ethnicity was Jewish and his nationality, for all but the first ten years of his life, was American. -- Chowbok 05:37, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

message: This article takes the monetarist line that expansive monetary policy was responsible for inflation, but Keynesians believe that they're not connected and the inflation was caused by wars and oil shocks. It should provide a more balanced perspective. AaronSw (talk) 15:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it doesn't take the monetarist line that monetary policy was responsible for inflation.  (If I'm missing something, please quote the passage from the article that suggests otherwise.)  The article conveys Burns' view that the Fed should not have tightened monetary policy to quell inflation if the result would have been high unemployment.  Like it or not, that was Burns' view, and the article should reflect it. Bond Head (talk) 18:33, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with Bond Head.  I don't see anything in this article that's really either monetarist or Keynesian.  Also, I don't think that's particularly correct that any credible "Keynesian" believes that expansive monetary policy is unconnected to the inflation, but this article makes no claim either way.  Unless there's some clarification of which sentence needs changed, I'll remove the POV dispute? --JayHenry (talk) 01:17, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Although this article currently reads like an advertisement, I think it is worth saving.  Baxter's activities may be interesting to scholars who study evangelical organisations or millenarianism in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.  There should be enough information here to help them decide if it's worth tracking down the books and other sources for themselves.

Talk:Tlingit alphabet

message: I would like to add some real examples of the Tlingit-Cyrillic alphabet, but this requires a bit of study. It's not very precise and thus anything written down in it needs to be puzzled out into a complete version. This requires a native speaker to judge the result, as well as a lot of time. So it'll have to wait until I have a native speaker and some extra time handy, neither of which will be happening soon.
As for discussion of the various orthographies and their histories, as well as running text examples in each, I'll add those in Real Soon NowTM, whenever I get tired of working on the grammar article. — Jéioosh 05:42, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Qualifing time - Johnny Claes 

message: Does anyone know what criteria was used to decide that Joe Kelly was not classified? The obvious answer is that he didn't complete 90% of the race but that rule was not in place at the time as far as I am aware. There are other examples of F1 GP finishers being classified with less than 90% race distance completed. There must be some other rule used at the time?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.195.109.225 (talk) 18:45, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If memory serves, it depended on the race organisers. Therefore there wasn't a consistent rule for non-classification, which is a bit of a pain. You are right though that the 90% rule didn't come in until much later. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:05, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Comparison of normal-order evaluation and applicative-order evaluation

message: Most of the resources I've seen seem to claim that normal-order and call-by-name are equivalent, and that call-by-value and applicative-order are equivalent; however, some have claimed (in particular Benjamin Pierce's "Types and Programming Languages") that call-by-name is slightly different in that it does not reduce redices inside a single lambda term.  In this case, it's not accurate to claim that Haskell implements normal-order evaluation.
I have yot to find a reliable enough formal definition for applicative-order evaluation to know whether it really is the same thing as either left-to-right call-by-value evaluation (as in Standard ML) or right-to-left call-by-value evaluation (as in OCaml).  Most of the sources I've seen suggest that it is the same as Scheme's call-by-value, which I believe is left-to-right; does the term "applicative order" also apply to OCaml?
Also, the article is fairly informal (not encyclopedic in tone) and has some minor NPOV issues (there really isn't consensus among the functional programming community as to what kind of evaluation is "intuitive") that really ought to be corrected.

Talk:Mark Leyner

message: Can someone provide a reference or title for the David Foster Wallace essay derid/championing Leyner?
Haven't found the DFW article for sure, but some references to it:
"He referred to me as the antichrist in the New York Times Magazine, and I think that after having been called the antichrist, everything else seems sort of mild."
http://www.salon.com/books/int/1997/12/cov_si_08leyner2.html
I have found an interview where DFW calls Rush Limbaugh the antichrist, and then lumps Leyner in with him:
"But you also see it in fucking Rush Limbaugh, who may well be the Antichrist. You see it in T. C. Boyle and Bill Vollmann and Lorrie Moore. It's pretty much all there is to see in your pal Mark Leyner. Leyner and Limbaugh are the nineties' twin towers of postmodern irony, hip cynicism, a hatred that winks and nudges you and pretends it's just kidding."
http://www.centerforbookculture.org/interviews/interview_wallace.html
It also appears that DFW devotes a lot of discussion to Leyner in the essay "E Unibas Pluram: Television and U.S. Fiction" which is collected in his book "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments".
He's also lambasted in B.R. Myer's "A Reader's Manifesto," although I don't have a copy to refer to offhand. 66.9.126.26 21:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tobique—Mactaquac

message: Question:  How should we best portray the "major" municipalities in electoral districts?  I was using what Elections Canada had listed as "major" municipalities, but it would appear that may not be adequate (I recall a comment about 'little-used parishes').  FUNgus guy 17:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think what EC did is look at the StatsCan census results and use the largest census subdivisions in the riding as the basis for that list - but in New Brunswick, parishes (which are used as CSDs in rural areas) aren't municipalities on their own, and are rarely used or referred to by the public. I'd suggest just leaving the parishes out and placing the most populated cities, towns and villages in the riding in the infobox. Kirjtc2 17:52, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

text: "New Columbia" does seem like an odd name, since there isn't any particular Columbia this is named after. Also, what would the two-letter postal abbreviation be? NC is already taken. I think if the citizens of DC want to have the same rights as the citizens of states, DC should just be absorbed into Maryland. Ottawa is in Ontario, after all. Angr/talk 14:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

text: The Maryland idea isn't a bad one. After all, the parts that originally came from Virginia have already gone back to Virginia, so why not send the parts that were originally in Maryland back to MD? However, I don't think Congress will go for it. In the event that they don't, DC's gonna have to settle for statehood or something like it. It's current status results in disenfranchisement for 600,000 people, so that has got to change. AS far as the postal code? Well, remember, there is no specific convention of what letters from the name should be used. After all, Missouri's postal code is not MI. That's Michigan. New Columbia I think was proposed as a means of sustaining the identity of the city (The Columbia part), but ditching the demeaning status (the District part), and avoiding confusion with a country in South America. Granted, the spelling is different, but you can see where confusion could occur, especially for kids taking social studies in school. Maybe we could use NA for the postal code. The similairity with the abbreviation for Not Applicable would be hilarious. Wandering Star 02:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because having two major things in this country named Washington isn't already confusing or anything... ;)   Also, DC merging into Maryland is unlikely, as it would require basically the same amount of constitutional amending, and would otherwise be quite messy.  I say just as Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachussetts, and Kentucky are Commonwealths, not states, (while another Commonwealth, Puerto Rico, doesn't even have statehood), let's just keep the current name, and try not to overcomplicate and overcorrect things.
