replies: text: I think you mean the third sentence ("As well as unpopular and lesser-known descendant of Huang Di (Yellow Emperor) according genealogy.").  Second one (" It is the sixth most common surname in Mainland China.") looks okay.  I'll look through the history and see if I can tell what munched the third.  TJRC (talk) 20:00, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

text: It looks like it was added in a different but similarly unintelligible form, in this edit.  I agree with the editor that it is not possible to understand what the sentence means, either in it's original ("Also, unpopular and lesser known by people, posterior of Huang Di (Yellow Emperor) during genealogy.") or present("As well as unpopular and lesser-known descendant of Huang Di (Yellow Emperor) according genealogy."),  I gather he means something like the name was used by those descending from Huang Di, but 1) I'm not certain enough of that to impose that meaning on the sentence and 2) even if so, that doesn't seem applicable to the lede per WP:LEDE.  So I am deleting it. TJRC (talk) 20:07, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

This article needs some clean-up. In the introduction, it talks about 殷 (Yīn) only, but in the origin section, it talks only about 尹 (Yǐn). These two surnames, though the same in English, are not the same surnames. Either this article should have information about both surnames, or it should focus on one of them, meaning that another page should be made for the other. ~ Last edited by Justinrleung (talk) 04:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Due to the phonetic similarity, and the varieties of Chinese dialects and vernacular spellings, Chang and Zhang are interchangeable in many cases, especially for oversea Chinese and historical Chinese names. Though Chang and Zhang could be in very different Chinese characters, it is better to categorize them together here (in Wikipedia English version) for comparison and study.

It was constructed from those pieces for those reasons, but modern Chinese uses different words for "archer" and "bowyer".

Talk:Planck's law

message: In the fractional bandwidth form for Planck's function, the numerator of the second factor is x4. I think it ought to be x3. The integral of Planck's function w.r.t. ν is the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and the coefficient of T4 after integration is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant σ. With the numerator being x4, the constant is wrong, and contains a factor of ζ(5). With the numerator being x3 the constant after integration is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Van.snyder (talk • contribs) 04:02, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Statements like "Walter Burkert (born Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, February 2, 1931), the most eminent living scholar of Greek religion and cults..." are a bit excessive. It's also debatable; what about Fritz Graf? I'd have to agree that the reservations of Septentrionalis apply here. There are many statements out there that Greek Religion is an impressive work; quoting one of them would be a good way of establishing how influential Burkert's scholarship is. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:06, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "The best history of Greek religion for this generation"—New York Review of Books. "...the standing of a classic...a marvel of professional scholarship." London Review of Books.

message: Should this article be limited to polygamous clans of Utah?  Short Creek is on the Utah-Arizona border.  There are groups in Canada and Mexico.

thread_title: Rename article to ''Polygamist branches of Mormonism''

message: Shouldn't this article really be merged with Mormon fundamentalism, at least until such time as there's enough material as to suggest a pressing need for separate articles?  The naming conventions seem to indicate that -ism titles are more standard than -ist ones, and it seems that the polywhatsit groups are the large part of the fundamentalist groups, so it's going to be very difficult to write the 'parent' article separately from this one.  On another matter, can someone clarify the role of polyandry within either the movement historically, or within the modern groups?  Alai 02:13, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Heart of Darkness (literary device)

message: Obviously the struggle of moral forces, light and dark etc is widespread in all the arts, before and after Conrad, so that if this is the subject per se, it should be dealt with separately to Conrad. However, if one is using the term 'Heart of Darkness' in connection with it, that term is so strongly linked with Conrad, it makes sense to merge it with the Conrad article. There are two separate issues here, which need two separate articles  1)moral struggle in general in literature/arts(which might mention or link to Conrad and 'Heart of Darkness', but should not be called 'Heart of Darkness' as that is only Conrad's name for it, and not a name in more widespread use  2)Heart of Darkness, which is a Conrad item.
--Tyrenius
This has no need to be merged. Perhaps if it was a device only used in Conrad's novel, but in reality all Conrad did was use it prominently. In literature, whether authors call it Heart of Darkness or not, there has always been the concept of the struggle between good versus evil. Machinima is a filmmaking concept made popular by the internet web series Red Versus Blue, however, the Wikipedia article on Machinima is not merged with Red Versus Blue, or vice versa. --Tykell 19:32, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Computer telephony integration

message: I've heard Genesys has the largest amount of market in CTI and Cisco is second. Cisco has books available at reasonable prices (under $100) for people to train themselves with. Whereas Genesys and Nortel both require you to pay the same amount as their training courses just to get a book (upwards of $1000). I think with regard to the availability of training, Cisco will have a lower TCO and become a more popular solution for businesses.
