Talk:Negligible set

message: It doesn't appear that there is an actual mathematical definition of "negligible" on this page, just examples of its usage in the literature and definitions in those specific cases. If there isn't a common definition, it might be more clear to change the wording to say that sets are defined to be negligible iff such-and-such condition holds in that setting.

replies: text: Let X be a measurable space equipped with a measure m, and let a subset of X be negligible if it is m-null. Then the negligible sets form a sigma-ideal. The preceding example is a special case of this using counting measure.
With the counting measure, only the empty set is m-null (i.e. with measure zero). Moreover, a countable subset has the same counting measure as the full set, namely infinity.
-- 134.95.128.246
You're right!
The correct measure to use assigns 0 to any countable set but infinity to any uncountable set.
I don't know a name for this measure, so I'll replace "counting measure" with "a suitable measure".
(But if anybody else does know a name for this measure, then please add it in, with a link! ^_^)

message: "Let X be measurable space equipped with a measure m, and let a subset of X be negligible if it is m-null. Then the negligible sets form a sigma-ideal." This is OK with me. "Every sigma-ideal on X can be recovered in this way by placing a suitable measure on X." Well, this is right, as far as rather pathologic measures are allowed. But if only finite (or equivalently, sigma-finite) measures are allowed, then the sigma-ideal of all sets of first category, say, on [0,1] is not like that.

Talk:RAW image file

message: Although manufacturers write "RAW" in all caps, there's no particular justification. Unlike JPEG, GIF and other image file types, raw isn't an acronym. It's the usual English word "raw" and it indicates unprocessed image data. "Unprocessed" means, as the article explains, that settings like color balance, contrast and sharpness have been ignored (although they've typically been recorded, so that software can later recreate the effects).
----
This article contains some factual errors at this point. For example, each "pixel" in a raw image does not take 1 byte. Typically, each component of each pixel takes 8 bits (1 byte), and 3 components is normal (RGB). Some cameras use 16 bits (2 bytes) per component.
To avoid editing conflicts, I'll wait an hour or two to correct this info. I also saw some other minor errors in the article. - David Remahl 12:25, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Good question! Briefly put, Shunzhi's grand-father Nurhaci founded a dynastic state he called the "Later Jin" and ruled as that dynasty's "great khan." Shunzhi's father Hong Taiji then renamed that dynasty "Qing" and reigned as its "emperor." So technically speaking, Hong Taiji was the first Qing emperor, but historians (and all Qing emperors starting with Hong Taiji) have universally considered Nurhaci as the founder of the polity that became the Qing, and therefore as its first emperor. I just added a clarification to the lede of the Hong Taiji page. Thanks for noticing this! Madalibi (talk) 11:08, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quay vs wharf 

message: I recently took a trip to Ireland with friends.  They kept pronouncing the word "Key".  It is used all over Ireland.  I came from Florida and had only heard the word pronounced "Kway".  Interesting since there are so many "Keys" down there!  I checked here to see the correct way of pronounciation and was glad the word was on Wikipedia.
:But, then again, those are Cayes.
Quay, is pronounced "Key" here in the Port industry and it is very much in use.  The Quay tray is a recessed tray in the deck that houses the electrical wire the powers the large gantry cranes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.71.11.70 (talk) 12:52, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

It has nothing to do with the English word 'quay' or the Dutch equivalent 'kade'. ChimpanseeWithTypewriter 21:51, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Jan de Quay

message: There is an outstanding merge proposal added anonymously a few months ago. This needs to be resolved. I second the merge proposal. Though one can argue that wharf and quay may at times be used in slightly varying ways, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Ultimately whatever difference there is between the two words is less than the differences among different wharfs around the world. And I think it is safe to say that, given that there are already separate articles for pier, harbor, and port, all of which can be used as synonyms for quay in some contexts, it is safe to say that two articles for quay and wharf are unnecessary.
Any objections?
--Mcorazao (talk) 19:05, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: *Comment - Thanks, but I'm not sure I understand the argument. By policy "deleting articles based on differences in terminology" is one of the best arguments for merging. If no evidence is offered that there are unique topics implied by each term then these fall into the "distinction without a difference" category. Why even create a separate section if no appreciable difference has been established (with the caveat that if there is something significant and interesting that can be said about how and when each term is used then perhaps that might merit a subsection; it doesn't appear to me that this is the case though)? --Mcorazao (talk) 17:24, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Interview with Vonnegut

message: There seems to be a few people determined to rewrite this section as "poor Ben got attacked". Case in point: The suggestion that the first female "threw a beer at Foster". Video evidence, blog reports, and eyewitness accounts suggest the woman spat beer at Foster, so that's what should be reported. "Threw a beer" has connotations of Foster being hit by a beer container, which is not the case. Secondly, he did not "heckle" the woman, he made a prolonged speech about the woman performing a sex act on him which for many was the point things turned ugly, which is why it should be included. Finally, Foster did not stop hitting the club owner when he noticed it was a woman - if you watch the video, he does notice it's a woman while trying to turn around. Following this, he punches her in the neck and stomach before being pulled off her by a bouncer.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.169.89.235 (talk) 09:44, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello all, in the Unique and specialty hotels section may I suggest adding a paragraph for castle hotels?
Castle hotels:
Any castle or castle folly that offers overnight accommodation can be termed a castle hotel. The U.K. can be seen as the most popular place for a castle hotel stay, with Scotland having the majority at over 30. These properties will generally have historic interest and many offer historical lectures, guided tours etc. https://manorcastles.com/about-manor-castles/
Notable castle hotels include Amberley Castle in West Sussex, England, Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur, India https://www.businessinsider.com/best-castle-hotels-in-the-world-2012-6?r=US&IR=T, Scone Palace in Perthshire, Scotland, home of the Stone of Scone, and Ashford Castle, County Mayo, Ireland. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-7735711/Ten-stunning-castles-British-Isles-stay-Scone-Palace-Ashford-Castle.html

message: At the time of this writing, the shield graphic being used is this one:   
This graphic is riddled with errors, not of least of which is that it says "Sarda Síochána" instead of "Garda".

Category talk:Fraternal service organizations

message: After a lot of work I created this category as a sub-category of "Human societies" where it would best fit in the categorization project.  The effort stemmed from a lack of sleep and being pretty upset when I saw Freemasonry and the Ku Klux Klan on the same list.
Most of the organizations had something written on them, stubs at least.  I wrote stubs for Moose International and Fraternal Order of Eagles and am hopeful members from those organizations will pick up the ball from there.
Being a Senior DeMolay my focus was on the Masonic Organizations and getting them organized.  I know there is another Masonic Youth Group called "Boy Builders" that existed at one time but have found nothing on it thus far, it will require more research.
I am not a Master Mason (although this work has gotten me thinking about joining lodge again) nor a member of the other rites so please, if you note any mistakes feel free to step up and correct them.  I tried to write it from an unbiased point of view.
Hope all approve of the work (it took a while!).
