thread_title: Challenged and deleted

message: The final sentence in the introductory paragraph, "representations of him, even into Roman times, show him always on horseback, as a nomadic horseman god, wielding his characteristic staff of power." is directly contradicted by the reference: Eugene N. Lane, "Towards a definition of the iconography of Sabazius", Numen 27 (1980:9-33) in which the author takes inventory of depictions of Sabazius and accompanying iconography. While both characteristics (horseback and wielding a staff) are found in some depictions (individually or together), they appear, based on the Lane article, far from universal, perhaps even quite rare. I don't want to start an edit war, as I'm far from an expert on the subject, but perhaps this line should be removed, or at least re-worded? Placenta Juan (talk) 16:35, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm guessing that this has to do with how Sabazius was understood in the syncretized religious environment of the High Roman Empire.

message: "..comprising Constantinois and Aurès (what is today eastern Algeria), Tunis (currently Tunisia) and Tripolitania (now western Libya).." 
The referred "Tunis" here is merely a link to the modern city of Tunis. Back then, there was no such region called "Tunis", Ifriqiya encompassed all including Constantinois, Aures, Zibans, Jerid, Tripolitania, Ghadames, Kairouan, Monastir and all surrounding cities.
Therefore i think its historically wrong to describe it with such wording, unless one is referring to the Turkish Regency of Tunis which then would be completely irrelevant given the fact that it represents only a small portion of the geographical and demographic composition of Ifriqiya, commonly known today as historical Tunisia.

thread_title:  Example 

message: The article says:
In terms of computational complexity, the problem is an NP-hard problem reducible to the knapsack problem.
Technically, you can certainly perform such a reduction, which is hardly surprising. However, if the aim is to say something about how the problem is shown to be NP-hard, the important point is that you can reduce *from* an NP-complete problem such as the knapsack problem (which, in turn, means you can reduce from all problems in NP, including all NP-complete ones, so there is nothing special about the knapsack problem here). I'd suggest something along the following lines:
In terms of computational complexity, the problem is NP-hard, with a straightforward reduction from the knapsack problem, for example.

Talk:Sadaharu Inui

message: I'd say this article isn't really a "stub" anymore, can we remove the stub template and just say that this article needs a bit more expanding and maybe some clean up?
Which leads to the Fandom removal from the article. It's not NPOV, and it's about the fandom, which shouldn't be here:
"The trickiest part of writing Inui is that several of his fanon traits aren't that far from his canon ones, therefore the characterization line is much blurrier than in other characters.  Some of those fanon traits that arise more often are:
* Overanalyzing *everything*;
* Talking in numbers every time;
* Stalking a possible love intrest;
* Being obsessed with such person to the point of raping him/her;
* Becoming a sex god thanks to intensive research;
* his Inui Juice having REAL weird consequences on those who drink it (making them horny, converting boys into girls, etc.);
* either completely forgetting, hating or being obsessed to a mad point with Yanagi.
The most popular fanon love intrest for Inui is his protegé and doubles partner Kaoru Kaidoh. Another is Renji Yanagi (though he's most often paired with Akaya Kirihara, his own protegé, and his best friends Gennichirou Sanada and/or Seiichi Yukimura), and Kunimitsu Tezuka is expected to also enter the "line-up" due to their recent doubles partnership in the manga."
