Talk:West Bend School District

message: My birthday falls on the 24th and I went to West Bend West. A Friend of mine, who was born on the same day and same year, went to West Bend East. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.139.193.12 (talk) 
I don't think the birthday thing is correct.  When I attended WBE, I believe the assignment was determined by your home address.  Odd addresses went to East, even addresses went to West. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.210.184.68 (talk)

Well, then it's been changed.  They've always held on to the "family loyalty" thing.  Originally it was random, then birthdate (dumb), then modified birthdate (really dumb), after that, I left the WB.  I don't know what it is now.

replies: text: I have been bold and done the merger. My reasons are: the merge tags have been there for a long time and no objections were raised on a merge, the West schools article state made it eligible for speedy deletion, and as it was a merge with no loss of information it did not need to go through AFD.

message: I am assessing this article for WikiProject Schools as Stub / Low. A potentially interesting article about two double schools. References are needed to verify content and more information is needed on the schools - such as history (why are they divided?), curriculum and facilities. Some pictures and an info-box would also be good. I am giving this article "Mid" importance due to the unique setup and school selection system of the schools.

Talk:Rout

message: I think that the examples section should be removed. Many many battles have ended in a rout -- it is probably the most common outcome of a pitched battle -- So giving just a few examples is bound to be a POV list, or a very big list, neither of which add to a readers understanding of the term and IMHO is determental to the quality of the article. If an example of two is needed to elucidate how routs have varied over time then interlace them into the text. Two examples which spring to mind are cavalry attacks by Seventh Coalition forces on the French after the Battle of Waterloo and Colition aircraft attacks on the Highway of Death in 1991--Philip Baird Shearer 12:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Frobenius normal form

message: Why does the first example of a matrix in Frobenius normal form 
consist of three identical 2x2 blocks?  This is unrepresentative
and thus misleading.  We should have one with a few blocks of
different sizes.

replies: text: Much worse than the sizes, the minimal polynomial being square-free is extremely unrepresentative for the case where the characteristic polynomial is not.

replies: text: I apologize for the edit summary suggesting that the rational normal form in the example was not the one over C, since I imagined that when the minimal/characteristic polynomial does factor over the base field, then the rational normal form would reflect this, which is apparently not the case. Apparently what I was thinking of is called the primary rational canonical form, at least that is what modules over a principal ideal domain says. It would be useful to make this distinction clear, by saying for instance that if the characteristic polynomial is split with simple roots, then the rational normal form is just the companion matrix for the characteristic polynomial, and not the diagonal form. Also the primary rational canonical form should be mentioned in this article, so that the redlink in the modules.. article can be resolved. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 09:05, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  awful article 

message: I've seen quite a bit of literature on this subject, but never seen the (unexplained) term "Turner binormal projective form" used anywhere that is not obviously copied from Wikipedia (and also "rational canonical form" is both more frequent and more informative than "Frobenius normal form", but I'll leave that for the moment). Since the use is unsourced (as are the others, but these at least are easy to back up by independent sources on the internet) it is not the task of WP to push new terminology, I'll boldly remove the term for now. If any authoritative source of the use of this term can be found, please feel free to put it back, with a source reference. Marc van Leeuwen (talk) 11:28, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

To my ears, it sounds nothing like "uh-uh".  Nor "eh-uh", though that doesn't feel way off in the same way.

message: Reading it through, this article it seems to have  missed the point. 
I notice the main source, as it stands, seems to be a book by AC Grayling, who AFAIK is a polemicist, not a military historian. So I’m guessing whatever he wrote was to make some kind of point, rather than to explain what was actually happening.

Mattl the server technician told me that all i had to do was try room1 and listen for 6 hours. However as I understood (as did the 100's of other people on freenode#libreplant #chl) was that the people only received the transmission after 1.25 hours if they were actually at the event (using Wifi).  It seems infuriating to me that the server page (on live.fsf.org ) doesn't distinguish between 'local' receivers and 'overseas' receivers. I have to say the webpage that IceCAT proports is pretty basic , but It's not even HTML 5 ! Of the 53 people that responded to me or were available to respond to me only 'aureaalien' actually put me in the picture to tell me that there was nothing you can do with exclusive streams except play with the Transcoding (i.e.turn it off !!) and try to analyse whether there is an echo like on Mumble_(software).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.16.7.141 (talk) 17:50, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
