Talk:Equatoria

message: 205.150.76.247 01:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that's an interesting part of the story that I'll be able to fill in better when I finish the book (Iain Smith's on the relief expedition). Equatoria was formally under the Khedive's rule - it was not British, and not an independent country. Stan 15:28, 11 Nov 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Because Sudan itself was a province of Egypt in those days, Equatoria was just its southernmost province.  Gordon was governor of Equatoria before he became governor of Sudan, when the Mahdi revolt siezed Sudan, Equatoria was cut off from Egypt, and Egypt formally abandoned the province shortly thereafter (Stanley even delivered a letter to that effect on his doomed relief expedition).  Equatoria was a formal province, they had a number of stations and outposts on the Nile, and it was governed by Charles Gordon and then Emin Pasha for a good number of years.  They had a couple thousand Egyptian troops at their disposal, steamboats, and even received a formal salary.  However, due to the distance from Khartoum, and the difficulty of travel through the Sudd, they were largely left to their own devices beyond that, years could go by without any communications.

It does look like people in the picture taken in Melbourne Australia are in fact from the Sudan, so I am leaving the image but I do not see any reason why there are a dozen or so Sudanese in one place in Australia... ie is there an emigré community there? Are they on some sort of tour? Playing a sports match? Just wondering as I do not know twelve people of my nationality in the place I live. Meanwhile, I left the link going to the disambiguation page because I believe both possibilities may be true, but I don't know one way or the other; requires either research or topic knowledge.

Talk:Fathers' rights movement

message: Does the current ordering of sections adhere to a guideline or is it preferable in some understanding of topic representation?
I ask because I'm new to more intensive edits, but it strikes me that "demographics" of adherents, in the order of importance for understanding the topic, is below the goals advocated for ("movement") and the main issues ("main issues") discussed.
I propose a simple re-ordering of "demographics" to follow "main issues".

message: The first journal is paywalled, but the second book definitely never says "fathers' rights movement" is in the manosphere.

Talk:Representation of a Lie group

message: I don't think this article should be merged with the representation of Lie algebras article. It would be better to have parallel articles for Lie groups and Lie algebras. For one thing, there is a purely algebraic theory of Lie algebras over every field; and even with real or complex coefficients it's quite a deep result that a Lie algebra comes from a Lie group.
I propose moving this article to 'Representations of Lie groups', therefore.

Talk:Navier–Stokes equations

message: Reasons to use or avoid upper case:
1. Many of the pages about pressure use P.  Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law
There's a disclaimer that different fields use lower case p and others use upper case P.  I think MOST audiences are like college students.  Most of them will be using P.  In some grad school classes they use p, but it cannot be stressed enough by me that those audiences are smaller.
2.  Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive_and_extensive_properties , there intensive things tend to be lower case.    This would be why to stick with lower case for pressure.
3. Momentum has the same letter and is lower case.  Momentum and pressure having the same variable is confusing.
2/3 reasons say raise case.  Please, let's vote and pick the case most people are really using in real situations for the pressure. If I lose the vote so be it, then let's change all the uppercases to lower cases. To be using both cases is blatant tyranny. Jason Arthur Taylor Jasontaylor7 (talk) 20:28, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
