Talk:Continuation War

message: The infobox currently reads  as one of the territorial changes. While this is how long the lease ended up being in practice, it risks leaving the reader with an understanding that 12 years was the full term of the agreed-upon lease. I think it'd be better to list the original lease term (50 years) in text, with perhaps an  adding the additional information about the lease being broken early. Any thoughts? Ljleppan (talk) 05:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in favor of just having 'Porkkala Peninsula leased to the USSR for 50 years'; then we can just include the note to describe how the Soviets only held it for 12 and returned it in 1956 to the Finns. Also I don't think there is any mention of the Porkkala Peninsula being returned anywhere in the article so it definitely should be added. JumbledPasta (talk) 17:42, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Length of Porkkala lease in infobox 

message: In the infobox, it states 'Soviet victory' which is a completely reasonable and evident claim. However, are 3 citations really necessary? I don't think that this needs any specific references, much less three, given it's not controversial. JumbledPasta (talk) 21:12, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Infobox Results 

message: I've looked throughout the article and it is repeated stated that the U.K. declared war on Finland on 6 December 1941. However, on page 54 in the second volume of the 'British Foreign Policy in the Second World War' (available through archive.org) section of the History of the Second World War, which is the official history of British involvement throughout the war and was published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office, it states that Britain declared war on Finland on 5 December 1941. Why is there a discrepancy between these two dates? And why is the date of 6 December frequented restated not just on this article but even in the Finland in World War II article and various other periodical online sources? Which one should be used in this article as the official date of the declaration? JumbledPasta (talk) 02:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Zoom (restaurant)

message: As a visitor, I am wondering, WHY SHOULD THIS PAGE BE DELETED? It is perfectly informative, a bit like a stub article, but still... I don't see the point. User:203.109.249.138
As someone who has been here for more than nine months, I'm wondering the same thing! Someone called it an "advertisement". Well, it did give the restaurant's phone number (435-649-9108, if you're interested), which did look like someone was trying to drum up business, but then again, that's just information, too. It's not as if anyone had written anything in praise of the restaurant, which presumably they would have done if it were an advert. So I don't see the point, either... -- Oliver P. 15:45, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Talk:Orient House

message: The referenced article explicitly says:
Investigators found documents showing that the PA had transferred funds to Fatah, the Tanzim, and its affiliated fighters. Other sources expand the information, and give exact amounts of money and accurate identities of the receivers.
So please don't say that "Israeli authorities claim to have found evidence..." they just found evidence for tight connections and financial support between the PLO and Fatah, Tanzim, et al. --Gabi S. 13:36, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Evidence that the PLO supported Fatah 

message: The dispute is not wherever the PLO supports the political Fatah organisation but if it dose actually support the military wing of Fatah to help them execute attacks on Israeli targets (civilian or otherwise). No such evidence is in the public domain and so, I would only speculate to its validity. 
The same can be said in the case of the IRA and Real IRA and other loyalist militia, some are political and others aren’t despite them having the same goals (more or less).--Palestine48 13:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, there is evidence that the PLO helped execute attacks on Israeli targets. And it's in the public domain. Here is one example: An invoice from the Al-Aksa Martyrs asking for reimbursement for, among other things, explosives used in bombings in Israeli cities. This was found in Orient house, with other documents described here. Most of the documents were handed over to the United States, so they are considered secret intelligence documents, not to be put on public domain. However, sample documents are accurately described here. Thus, this issue is now concluded, not disputed. --Gabi S. 15:13, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

text: The receipts (for explosives used in bombings against Israel) were written by the Brigades, addressed to the PLO and found in the Orient House. For most people, this is proof enough that the PLO financed terrorist attacks. Of course, Londoners are free to believe that Martians reproduced receipts written by anonymous Saudis. --Gabi S. 20:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bosnia and Herzegovina

message: In Bosnia and Herzegovina there are three official languages but in your starting sentence there is no "bosnian/serbian/croatian" only serbo-croatian so I think you should correct this because it is disrespectful. 109.175.39.230 (talk) 08:58, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Rate–distortion theory

message: I'm not sure the equations for H(Y) and H(Y|X) are correct. I don't understand information theory well enough to correct it, but I'd appreciate it if someone could verify. In particular, from what I can understand H(Y)=\int^{-\infty}_{\infty}p(y)\log\frac{1}{p(y)}dy, taking the integrand evaluated at 0 to be 0. Those are base 2 logs, naturally. This misunderstanding is making doing my homework difficult:-)
--Calmofthestorm7 (talk) 17:19, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe your formula is correct, and that there's a minus sign missing in the article (it's usually written with the -log(p) instead of log(1/p), which is the same thing).  The log base determines the units; 2 for bits, e for nats.  But why not just look in the sources and correct the article, instead of trying to rely on wikipedia, which is never a good idea? Dicklyon (talk) 00:03, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  principles of economics and basic definitions in economics. 

message: Shouldn't the Principles of Economics link go to the disambiguation page rather than to the Menger text, with the Menger text being moved to Principles of Economics (Menger) for consistency with the others?
There's little reason to argue that Menger's work is more notable than Marshall's even if it was published earlier. Both books were influential on modern economics, but Marshall's  arguably even more so (undergrads will generally learn about marginal utility by drawing Marshallian diagrams and rather than reading Menger and eschewing mathematics) Dtellett (talk) 17:46, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

:By most accounts, it was written by Jon Thorharson in 1387, almost four centuries after the events in it, which were almost certainly handed down by oral tradition.

message: It is misleading to say that Ericson discovered Vinland by accident (i.e., because his longship "was blown off course").  He sailed in search of the "southerly" lands following the stories told him by Bjarni Herjolfson.  Here is a quotation from the Sagas, describing Leif's discovery of the place he would call "Vinland": "They went aboard their ship again and sailed into a certain sound, which lay between the island and a cape, which jutted out from the land on the north, and they stood in westering past the cape. At ebb-tide, there were broad reaches of shallow water there, and they ran their ship aground there, and it was a long distance from the ship to the ocean; yet were they so anxious to go ashore that they could not wait until the tide should rise under their ship, but hastened to the land, where a certain river flows out from a lake. As soon as the tide rose beneath their ship, however, they took the boat and rowed to the ship, which they conveyed up the river, and so into the lake, where they cast anchor and carried their hammocks ashore from the ship, and built themselves booths there. They afterward determined to establish themselves there for the winter, and they accordingly built a big 
house." -- delavagus
