Talk:David Klein (mathematician)

message: This article appears to contain opinions on Standards-based_mathematics and, indirectly on the NCTM:
1. Labeling "traditional mathematics" as "rigorous" is a biased statement that is not accepted by the majority of the mathematics education community.
2. It is not clear what "conservative" and "concrete" mean when referring to "traditional mathematics"; it looks like they are being used as positive adjectives to contrast with the authors' view of "NCTM standards"
3. NCTM standards do not refer to any mathematics curricula, while "traditional mathematics" typically does
4. Phrases like "tangents" and "irrelevant subjects" are clearly biased; authors of the NCTM standards and authors of curricula that are standards-
based would obviously disagree with these labels
5. It is not true that the NCTM standards devalue arithmetic
6. The president of the NCTM has publically stated that the organization does not promote calculator use in place of doing arithmetic
7. The NCTM does not advocate "minimal teacher instruction"
8. The NCTM does not advocate "multiple correct answers" to a traditional math problem. Instead, they advocate multiple (correct) solution strategies. This is in contrast to only using a single standard algorithm for arriving at an answer.

Talk:Danforth Avenue

message: :The road was named for contractor Asa Danforth Jr., who built Queen Street and Kingston Road, and started work in 1799.
That looks like an anachronism; isn't Kingston Road the 1817 road which replaced Danforth's Road? Asa Danforth Jr.'s article indicates he left Canada for good in 1802 after having problems getting paid by colonial authorities of the day, so he wouldn't have still been around to construct 2, 401 or other roads built after that era. 66.102.83.61 (talk) 02:43, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as  can tell from a combination of maps and the stories in various books, the Kingston Road bypassed Danforth's road through Scarborough, West Hill, and up to about Duffins Creek in Pickering. It would make more sense if worded as "portions of the Kingston Road,..." - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 04:10, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: According to research I've done in other articles, Asa Danforth Jr. built the original Kingston Road, which diverged north from the modern Kingston Road along a route which is now Clonmore Drive, Danforth Road, Painted Post Drive and Military Trail. The newer Kingston Road was built later to bypass Danforth's original route. East of Scarborough the Kingston Road/Highway 2 is supposedly mostly Danforth's original alignment, as far as Trenton, except it's obviously not around Cobourg.

Talk:Lilian date

message: I am the original author of this page.  I added it because I could not find a suitable algorithm for converting dates to/from their lilian values.  
After considerable effort, I devised an alogorithm on my own and added it to Wikipedia so that others may benefit from it.
Please DO NOT delete the algorithm

replies: text: Your algorithm is an example of how to calculate the Lilian date from the Gregorian date and vice versa. But Wikipedia is not a how-to manual, saying so in WP:NOT#HOWTO. Thus your algorithm is not allowed on Wikipedia. — Joe Kress 19:08, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

text: It does not matter whether the Lilian date cannot be calculated from the Julian day number or not, a how-to section is still not allowed on Wikipedia. Two compromises are possible, an external link to your site containing the algorithm, or you may place the algorithm on Wikibooks, possibly with a cross-link here (I'm not sure whether this would be prohibited by the Wikipedia non-self reference guideline). — Joe Kress 21:15, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The subject of "human-rated" is of growing importance because of the emergence of commercial spaceflight operations.

thread_title:  Major revision needed 

message: The article mentions that the Space Shuttle predates existing NASA criteria.

message: This makes no sense:
: The NASA CCP human-rating standards require that the probability of a loss on ascent is no more than 1 in 500, and that the probability of a loss on descent is no more than 1 in 500. The overall mission loss risk, which includes vehicle risk from micrometeorites and orbital debris while in orbit for up to 210 days, is required to be no more than 1 in 270
If the chance of fail is 1/500 on the way up, and 1/500 on the way down, then the chance of fail on up or down is ~1/250, and certainly greater than 1/270 William M. Connolley (talk) 22:19, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Sensitivity training is not T-group, though the two are linked. A t-group is a group, sensitivity training is a procedure important enough to warrant a page in its own right. It was originated by Kurt Lewin in response to a state request, and has been associated with political correctness.

message: I tagged the article as not neutral since most of it is about criticism of the topic. It is also not at all clear what sensitivity training really is.

I also updated broken citations, such as links to the Sault Museum archives.

Talk:Harry Highet

message: I noticed this "Harry's father was an ironmonger and worked at the Evans Bay Patent slip". An ironmonger sells goods made of iron. Perhaps he did that in a different period not when he was working at the patent slip? Eddaido (talk) 09:52, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, yes, that's why it says "was" as in past-tense. We know from census forms (and it's recorded in the Sailing article on the Highets) that Thomas Morton was an ironmonger, which is most likely why he was then employed by the patent slip --LJ Holden 22:04, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: "which is most likely why he was then employed by the patent slip" That, it seems to me, is the misapprehension I am pointing out. An ironmonger sells goods made of iron, like a fishmonger sells fish. The sentence as it is at the moment says he worked at the Patent Slip as if ironmongering had given him some special ability making him useful there and I very much doubt selling ironmongery would have done that. Perhaps a better result could be achieved by stating just what research has shown. I don't know that, do you have access? (you mention census forms). Eddaido (talk) 23:16, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's speculation either way, so the way the Wiki article as written is fine. The sailing article doesn't make the link between being an ironmonger and working at the patent slip. --LJ Holden 23:30, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Your last comment "It's speculation either way" does not make sense. Do you know what an ironmonger is? I have made the link in Harry's article so you can re-consider your somewhat daft comment. At least anyone who takes up the new link can see your mistake. Eddaido (talk) 01:07, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I know what an ironmonger is. My statement was speculation, as was yours... we don't actually know what he did at the patent slip. He could've been their cleaner for all we know, or maybe he procured items made of iron, or or or... either way what we think is irrelevant because Wikipedia is about verifiable information, and all we know is that he was an ironmonger, and then he worked at the Evan's Bay patent slip... --LJ Holden 02:20, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  You sound a bit lost. "all we know is that he was an ironmonger, and then he worked at the Evan's Bay patent slip". For me that is just fine (if you believe that's what your source meant).

He married a railroad engineer's daughter, Bessie (Jan. 25, 1899- Dec. 16, 1980); they had a daughter and settled in San Francisco.

According to the 1920 census, his daughter was four years old, making the date the McClintocks established a permanent residence in San Francisco around 1915-16. He worked for the" Railroads" doesn't mean that he worked for the Southern Pacific Transportation Company. It's too vague. Southern Pacific railroad. San Francisco Belt Railroad. San Francisco-Sacramento Railroad. Just to name a few. Bibliography: The mention of the Railroad Magazine needs to be checked out. The magazine was bought out by Carstens Publications, now White River Productions. WRP, should have a copy of each magazine to clear up the information of which he worked for.
