Talk:Thomas Romney Robinson

message: I have been researching the history of anemometers and have found a page which should be visited... http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blweather.htm
On this web page it is claimed that Robinson only invented the hemispherical cup anemometer, but the instrument was actually invented by Leon Battista Alberti in 1450!
Thought this might be helpful in trying to maintain accuracy!

Talk:Congressional system

message: I question why Switzerland is in this list.  True, Switzerland has no Prime Minister.  But the President and the Cabinet are elected by, and are responsible to, the legislature.  That seems to me to be more like a parliamentary system than a congressional one. David Cannon 11:36, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The difference lies in the focus, beside that it's purely sophistry. I was about to correct and expand this article, when I figured that it's rather stupid to have two different articles for what virtually is synonymous concepts.
Thus I've made this article into a redirect. /Tuomas 08:40, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Recognizing that I'm resurrecting a discussion from over a year ago, let me add that it might be prudent to wait a little after an article is created before removing its record here. In converting some of this page to a table style format, I've come across "created" pages that are currently undergoing discussion for deletion - sometimes for a second or third time. Since these are likely to get added back to this list if deleted, I wouldn't be too quick to remove them just because the link turned blue here temporarily. In particular, if these pages are frequently deleted and also have a large number of red links pointing to them it suggests we may need to address the links themselves rather than the absence of a proper article under that title. --N8wilson 🔔 14:57, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Brahmagupta

message: User:Infrogmation changed the reference to the independent Mayan innovation of zero from Mayan civilization to Maya numerals, I suppose on the theory that the latter is a more specific reference -- except that zero is only mentioned under Maya numerals as a digit, whereas it is made clear in the "Mathematics" section of Mayan civilization that they knew zero as a number in its own right.
Also, the change makes the parenthetical clause read "...outside the Maya numerals mathematical tradition" which is awkward.
It might be good to discuss Mayan mathematics more thoroughly under Maya numerals or perhaps give Maya mathematics its own article.  Until then, though, I think it would be best to change the link back.

Among the sources, earliest available one is Al Beruni, who lived nearly half a millennium after Brahmgupta. Al Beruni's work are mostly in translation. He also doesn't quote the exact word.

Talk:Whisky

message: "Whiskies and cognacs typically contain more of this than vodkas, but significantly less than rums or brandies."
Cognac is a brandy, therefore it is a contradiction to state that cognac, a brandy, contains less than brandy.
Is there's no one amongst Wikipedia's editors capable of intercepting this trivially self-contradictory statement? It would seem not. 81.156.104.123 (talk) 23:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's what the source says, sorta. Frankly, I think our phrasing here poorly summarizes the source and loses all nuance. That said, if the source doesn't correctly recognize the simple fact that cognac is a category of brandy, one must question the competence of the source.

Talk:Guilder

message: "...featuring a different bird for each denomination"
It's been only a few years ago now, but I recall that the old banknotes didn't feature birds, but people instead!
ƒ 5 = poet Joost van den Vondel (until it was replaced by a ƒ 5 coin)
ƒ 10 = painter Frans Hals
ƒ 25 = composer Jan Petersz. Sweelinck
ƒ 100 = admiral Michiel de Ruyter (until replaced by a bird, then an abstract)
ƒ 1000 = philosopher Baruch d'Spinoza
These 1950's "face"-notes and the 80's ƒ 50 (sunflower) and ƒ 250 (lighthouse) were designed by R.D.E. Oxenaar.
Eventually all faces were replaced by abstracts, designed by Jaap Drupsteen.
Oops, according to http://aes.iupui.edu/rwise/countries/Europe/Netherlands/netherlands.htm it -did- feature birds. You know I never noticed them and I had been paying with these for years! Those faces were so imprinted in my mind :-)
Well, maybe someone can use this info for inclusion.  -Marc

message: Umbra (World of Darkness) redirects here (the article, not this talk page), but is not explained here.  I undid the redirect recently, only for my change to be reverted; the reason given for that being that the Umbra article had been supposedly “merged and redirected after community discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Umbra (World of Darkness)”.  If it had been actually “merged”, then Umbra would be explained in this (World of Darkness) article.  However, after performing “find on this page” on this article, the word “Umbra” does not even appear once; I don’t consider that properly merged.  Umbra is mentioned several times in the article Werewolf: The Apocalypse as an element in the plot, but is not explained (I going to fix that shortly).  I strongly think that if an in-universe concept is going to be mentioned in the plot summary, then that concept must be given an explanation; either as its own article if there is a lot that needs explaining, or as a concise explanation within the article that it is mentioned.

One soldier's story alone would be of dubious notability, but a mainstream journalist repeating it and backing it up with "a spokesman for the Special Forces acknowledged that the army did engage in top secret logistical support for the Hungarians against the Soviets" seems remarkable. Any subject-matter experts know of a better source for this "logistical support" than an endnote citing an unnamed spokesman?
