Talk:Propylaea

message: The recent anonymous editor is correct that Προπυλαία is the plural of Προπυλαίov. It therefore means "the gates." Perhaps we ought to have a generic article Propylaeum (although I would prefer Propylaion) and a specific article The Propylaea, Athens, explaining the specific use of the plural name for the gates to the Athens Acropolis. Adam 03:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This article is not about "any monumental gateway", that is, about the concept of a propylaea, but about the famous one in Athens. I don't mind that, but either that text needs to be changed, or the article updated with additional information. I think the former is easier and if someone wants to write about the general concept, they can do another article. A quick look suggests that most of the articles that link to this one are referring to the one at Athens already. Thoughts? - Eponymous-Archon (talk) 21:28, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fiddled with the text a bit. I agree with the point. We could move this to Propylaea (Athenian acropolis) or something, but until there's a general article I don't think there's much point. Johnbod (talk) 12:28, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: I was prompted to look up the meaning of self-advocacy from a self-improvement article in Wikihow. I was surprised to find the words had been hijacked by the professional mental health bunch. Self-advocacy means just that, and to reference it primarily as a tool for impaired, disabled or similarly mentally challenged people could be seen as insulting to them.
May I suggest the article broadly outlines the meaning of self-advocacy and the benefits it may bestow and as an adjunct, describes the special meaning it has to the professional psychology community

Talk:Swordsage

message: I changed the previous edit about the extra skill point multiplier because I felt it made reference to a trivial typo in the source material. According the Player's Handbook, 1st level characters receive 4x their normal per level skill points at first level. The Swordsage indicates that this is 6x but this appears to be a clear typo based on the following
*The change (which would be substantial) is mentioned nowhere in the class entry.
*The change is in direct contradiction to the normal rule (of 4x at 1st lvl)
*There is no precedent for the shift as the 4x rule is universal
*The information in the chart is clearly meant to be for reference (rather then a definitive rule)
*The discussion on the WotC website forums indicate that several people have inquired about the typo with customer service and have all been informed that it is indeed a typo.

Talk:Exchangeable random variables

message: In statistics, an exchangeable sequence of random variables (also sometimes interchangeable)[1] is a sequence such that future observations behave like earlier observations, meaning formally that any order (of a finite number of observations) is equally likely. This formalizes the notion of "the future being predictable on the basis of past experience."
I disagree. This is a mischaracterization. Exchangeability is a kind of homogeneity or symmetry, sure, but to tie it specifically to the notion of predicting the future from the past is to read too much into it. Then any kind of similarity of anything to anything is tied to predicting the future from the past. For example, the concept of i.i.d. would be tied to it.
