Talk:Segre embedding

message: FWIW, Joe Harris (in the cited ref) claims that the Segre embedding is the categorical product for projective varieties; the book however, brushes only very lightly on category theory. linas 14:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The categorical product of Pm and Pn is Pm×Pn (defined as a fiber product if you want) in any reasonable category of algebraic varieties over a fixed field. The categorical point about Segre is that it gives the easy proof that the subcategory of projective varieties contains Pm×Pn. If you like, the issue is not what the product is, but where it is. The Segre embedding is strictly a morphism, not an object. Charles Matthews 16:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Categorical product

message: The title of this article is Segre embedding.  This name is nowhere to be found in the Definition section.  Apparently a Segre Mapping is identical to an Segre Embedding, but this is not self-evident and, like ANY terminology, should be made explicit. I would add an "also known as" sentence to the lede, if I were doing more than speculating on this identity.  
Also, would it be too much to ask that one of the "examples" be reduced to an actual numerical case? I have no idea what is meant by "zero locus", nor why the |2x2 complex| determinant defines the 1x1 example: 2*2-1 = 3, so how does a determinant, dependent on 4 scalars, apply? (As far as I can see, the four scalars are all members of C¹ (or R²) (by definition if you use them to compute the determinant, right?). I also am not familiar with the X1:X2:X3 notation; how does that differ from the common X1,X2,X3 notation?  
This seems to be one of the all too common instances of articles which if you can understand them, then you don't need them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.189.77.242 (talk) 10:06, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Kwinana Power Station

message: My comments below are still valid. Whilst this page has been updated since, this page is hopelessly incorrect. I should know. I worked there in the early 1980's as a mechanical engineer. However I left the industry back in 2001 so I am not aware of this station's more recent history. I believe that all the units have now been retired (October 2015 - See the Western Australian State Government's media release of Thursday, 27 June 2013). When I worked there, the station consisted of 4 by 120MW steam turbines (Stages A and B), 2 by 200MW steam turbines (Stage C) and a 21MW distillate fired GE gas turbine. It was the Stage C units that won the Institution of Engineers Australia for conversion to coal firing (It was a world first at the time)although the Stage B units were sometime later also converted to coal firing.

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: According to the Wikipedia page for Cockburn Power Station this info about Cockburn is incorrect. To quote the other wikipedia page: "It has a 160 MW natural gas powered Alstom GT13E2 gas turbine which provides steam to an 80 MW steam turbine that together generate a total 240 MW of electricity." Other sources like OpenNEM suggest Cockburn is 240-250 MW OCGT and the electricity generated logged with the CER under the Safeguard Mechanism would suggest it is 240 MW or higher not 2x 100 MW = 200 MWW.

thread_title:  

message: And some of it is wrong.
Let's start with the wrong.
* The text is from the Vulgate psalter, which is Jerome's Gallican Psalter, a revision of his first psalter. The article states that the 2nd psalter is irrelevant to this article. In fact, it is the 1st and 3rd psalters that are irrelevant.
* The text states that the numbering is different in each of Jerome's psalters. This is incorrect; all three psalters use the same numbering.
* The eight century form is not final. A new form was released in 1970.
Now for the irrelevant:
* A discussion of Jerome's 3 psalters is off-topic. Only one psalter matters here.
* Only a simple note needs to be made that the Vulgate psalter's numbering is different from that of most English versions. A long winded discussion of LXX and massoretic numbering schemes contributes nothing to the subject.
* The Latin and Greek texts of psalters other than the Vulgate psalter are off topic and not needed.
* On a related note, much of the discussion of the LXX is off topic and better covered elsewhere. I concede that some mention must be made though, as it is needed to link the quote from Chrysostom. Making such a link does not require the inclusion of discussions of Greek verbs, though.
Thank you for your attention.

message: According to the Ignatius Boyle article, Boyle succeeded Harry Griffiths in this seat. But Griffiths isn't included in the list. I don't have a list of the members; I simply reformatted the existing list. The former members list at the WA parliament site is a bit thin on this detail.  It only records when each member entered parliament and the first seat they held. Griffiths is listed as 21/10/1914 York*. The asterisk indicates it wasn't the only seat he held, so he must've held Avon at some point.

message: I wonder if this is appropriate for addition into the main article (Views on 'mir' as commune):
Russia is the sole European country where the “agricultural commune” has kept going on a nationwide scale up to the present day. It is not the prey of a foreign conqueror, as the East Indies, and neither does it lead a life cut off from the modern world. On the one hand, the common ownership of land allows it to transform individualist farming in parcels directly and gradually into collective farming, and the Russian peasants are already practising it in the undivided grasslands; the physical lie of the land invites mechanical cultivation on a large scale; the peasant’s familiarity with the contract of artel facilitates the transition from parcel labour to cooperative labour; and, finally, Russian society, which has so long lived at his expense, owes him the necessary advances for such a transition. On the other hand, the contemporaneity of western production, which dominates the world market, allows Russia to incorporate in the commune all the positive acquisitions devised by the capitalist system without passing through its Caudine Forks [i.e., undergo humiliation in defeat].

message: This article has been tagged with a Prose tag since 2011 ("This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. You can help by converting this article to prose, if appropriate. Editing help is available"). The date on the tag was changed in 2018, but the fact remains that this tag has been ignored by editors and contributors – in the Wikipedia equivalent of a pocket veto – for eight years. In addition, during that time the article's format has been changed significantly, so some conditions that originally contributed to the tagging no longer exist. Overall, eight years is sufficient time for somebody to say "nobody agrees with what is left of this tag" and remove it. I elect myself as that person.
I believe that the lists in this article should remain as lists. There are two types of lists here: those that can only be lists (like schools) and those that could be converted to prose with an immense amount of research (like the history of superintendents). As the article stands now, the lists adequately serve their purpose.
If you have a strong argument for why the remaining lists should be changed to prose, speak now and volunteer to do the work. Otherwise, I will remove this tag in 2019.
