message: I've reviewed this article as part of the Composers project review of its B-class articles.  This article is arguably A class; a formal review would require inline citations.

"The name of the piece itself is based on pi, as "Cadaeic" is the first 7 digits of pi, when rounded."

Talk:Carbene

message: Is it me, or are the labels for singlet and triplet reversed in the carbene addition to the alkene reaction?  The singlet should be the top, concerted, stereospecific reaction, correct?  That's what the text implies...  Ed Sanville 07:12, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. DMacks 02:30, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  singlet/triplet labels in carbene addition reaction 

message: I was informed that 'persistent carbenes' (a section in the main article) was a candidate for a seperate article later on (that is, when it was big enough).
Somehow I feel that it might be a good plan to split of a part, but I would then like to suggest to make a seperate article about the N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (and the like).  To me the subject/term 'persistent carbene' belongs in this article (because, persistent is a relative measure, for someone studying a compound by NMR, persistent is several minutes, for a laser-spectroscopist, femtoseconds are already long enough).  The NHC's, on the other hand, grow into a seperate group of organic molecules (and there are even organometallic analogues, the silylenes and germylenes), with their own chemistry, and they get extensively used nowadays in organometallic chemistry as ligands.  I'd like to hear some pro's and con's before starting to move things around.
By the way, I noticed that there is already an article Transition metal carbene complex (I don't know if I would search it there ..). This one might also be taken into consideration in this discussion (I'll make a link from the talk-page of that page). Dirk Beetstra 21:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Alt.* hierarchy

message: The page currently says "The language of preference in the "original" Usenet hierarchies, including alt.*, is English, which implies that the preferred character set encoding for these newsgroups is ASCII. Other language hierarchies have later been created in parallel to the existing English ones, for example de.* for German, fr.* for French, etc."
It is my understanding that de. and fr. etc are country top-levels and not language top-levels (even though many de. groups would use German as the language of communication).  For example, za. mean "South Africa", not "Afrikaans". -- leuce (talk) 07:57, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Pacific Telesis

message: Pacific Telephone was not a wholly-owned subsidiary of AT&T. Minority shareholders were first bought out in order to divest it. I am not sure of the exact details, which is why I didn't edit this into the article. Jim 23:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Pre-divestiture share ownership of Pacific Telephone

message: This pages really should be split into either 3 (Pacific Telesis, Pacific Bell, and Nevada Bell), or 2 (Pacific Telesis and Pacific Bell/Nevada Bell as Nevada Bell is a subsidiary of Pacific Bell). Pacific Bell redirects to this page, which then shows in the info box as being 'defunct' while Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell are still very much alive as subsidiaries of AT&T.  X570 04:50, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Split this article?...

message: On January 1, 1984 AT&T transferred its 100% interest in the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company to Pacific Telesis Group.  On January 2, 1984 the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company Transferred its 100% ownership of the Bell Telephone Company of Nevada to Pacific Telesis Group.  On that same date Pacific Telesis renamed Pacific Telephone the Pacific Bell Telephone Company and renamed Bell of Nevada the Bell Telephone Company of Nevada.  Thus Nevada Bell was no longer a subsidiary of Pacific Bell as it had been under the Bell System days.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.93.180 (talk) 01:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:List of Russian rail accidents

message: The main file list of rail accidents is starting to suffer from bloat.  It seems like a good idea to spin of some of the detail into separated files, such as a file for each country with a significant rail system.  It would also be desirable to leave the main file for accidents that have a significant lesson to be learned.

Talk:Toll Rail

message: I've just noticed that the table says the track gauge Toll operates on is 4 feet 8.5 inches.  This isn't correct - New Zealand's gauge is 3 feet 6 inches (1,067 mm) narrow gauge.  I'd correct this myself, but when I go to the edit page, I don't see where to make the appropriate modification to the table.  If someone more skilled with Wikipedia could fix that, that'd be great. - Axver 07:55, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Regarding the table, I've tried changing this and it doesent work. I might make up a new template so we can change it.
Regarding merging this page into Toll NZ, I think Toll Rail is the largest operation of Toll NZ and alot of information can be put into it. It would be good to have articles for all of the divisions as Toll NZ is just a holding company.--Matt von Furrie 22:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Gabrieliad

message: I noticed that the main article is placed at "Gavriliada", with a redirect at "Gavriiliada". Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Talk:Theaetetus (mathematician)

message: The now traditional date of Theaetetus' death, 369 BCE, has been recently questioned by Debra Nails in her The People of Plato (2002), pp. 276-277.  Nails argues convincingly that the evidence suggests an earlier date, 391 BCE.  The later date has been preferred mostly because it was not thought likely that Theaetetus' mathematical achievements could have been accomplished in such little time, had he died in 391.  But, in addition to the points Nails raises, we must remember that well-to-do Athenian youths of this time were precocious and Plato makes makes a great deal of the lad's extraordinary acumen.  Isokrates 12:46, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of Death

message: As written, the article currently states that "He evidently resembled Socrates in the snubness of his nose and bulging of his eyes."  But in my copy of plato's theaetetus, Socrates remarks that Theaetetus is remarkably beautiful for a young man, and Socrates was always described as quite ugly.  That makes it seem quite strange to read that he resembled Socrates in any way.
Also, Suidas wrote the following of Theaetetus: "An athenian, astronomer, philosopher, a pupil of socrates, taught in heraclea.  He was the first to describe the five solids so-called.  He lived afterthe peloponnesian wars."  Granted, that's not much of an entry, but the fact that Suidas mentions that he was a pupil of Socrates seems to be missing in the article as written.   By suidas, I meanthe suda lexicon, of course.  My copy was printed as Suidae Lexicon, edited by Ada Adler, Leipzig, 1928.  I'd add this info in myself, but I'm in a bit of a hurry.  So instead I leave it here for the next kind hearted wikipedian to notice and faithfully integrate into the article.  — Eric Herboso 07:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Decision analysis

message: we need the definiton  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.25.102.240 (talk) 08:37, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The POV here is horrid. Decision analysis is not a "practice necessary to address important decisions in a formal manner." This passage is argumentative and not a fair representation of the science:
"Some authors[2] point out that people don't make decisions this way and that the intuitive style of decision making needs to replace the disaggregated approaches commonly used by most decision analysts. Decision analysts[3] in turn point out that their approach is prescriptive, providing a prescription of what actions to take based on sound logic, rather than a descriptive approach, describing the flaws in the way people do make decisions. Overall a good decision maker should understand both approaches, understanding how people go wrong in making decisions and providing a sound basis for them to make better decisions. Furthermore, several studies conclusively show how even the simplest decision analysis methods are superior to "unaided intuition"."
The links cite are to 50-year-old summaries of decision research. 
The reality of this field is that decision analysis has been used to create decision tools -- like clinical risk scores used in medicine -- which have been found to be useful in many contexts. There is no evidence that decision analysis can be used "on the fly" to make decisions regarding questions outside the narrow circumstances addressed by the algorithm. Hence, naturalistic decision making and decision analysis are not really in competition outside of a few narrow circumstances. It is not possible to state, based on the evidence, that "the simplest decision analysis methods are superior to 'unaided intuition.'" As a sweeping statement, it's sweepingly wrong.
I'm hesitant to edit the page because I'm not an expert in this area. The tone of the page right now is similar to that of an undergrad in his first psych course merrily diagnosing his friends: over-enthused and dogmatic. Perhaps somebody with a broad view could lend a hand?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.230.158 (talk) 11:39, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
