Talk:Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board

message: "Premier" implies that there are others to which it has been favorably compared; nothing in the article supports either. I'm also wondering if the article should be renamed "Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board" (rather long, but technically correct) or if the abbreviation is one of their official designations. 24.6.65.83 20:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said when you brought this to my talk page: Also, premier is a synonym for prime in a governmental sense, ie, "the position of the cabinet minister who is in charge of government affairs," (see ) and thus by default in British countries, the gov't agencies themselves. It is a dangerous thing to rely on a limited dictionary for a world language. Such dictionaries don't include regional (if you can consider the former British Empire "regional") and cultural variations of usage.  It doesn't always mean that it's being compared with something else. As for the name, you have a good point, and the article has been moved. AKRadeckiSpeaketh 01:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  I'm confused the part about Aelia Eudocia and Monophysitism? 

message: I question the claim that Pulcheria honored her vow of virginity in spite of contracting "a legitimate marriage". The implication is that the marriage was not consummated. My understanding is that in the Roman Catholic Church a marriage that is not consummated is not a valid marriage. Indeed, lack of consummation is grounds for annulment. This could use clarification.Bill (talk) 19:51, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I just checked canon law. At least at present, in the Roman Catholic Church,  a marriage that has not been consummated is valid but dissoluble. A marriage that has not been consummated is indissoluble. A marriage that could not be consummated, due to the physical inability of one or both parties, is invalid. So if the law was the same then as now, Pulcheria's vow of virginity would not invalidate the marriage.Bill (talk) 01:43, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  What kind of closure? 

message: I am a matroid theorist.  As far as I know, the term "pregeometry" has no meaning except as a shorthand for "combinatorial pregeometry".  The term "combinatorial pregeometry" is identical to "matroid".  I never heard of using this term for a special kind of infinite matroid.  I hope it isn't true, since there is no reason to use such a vague term for any kind of matroid.
As for the physics, unless someone knows that Wheeler intended to refer to matroids, AND that it led to something in physics, I think the connection of matroids with physics is spurious.
Thus, there is no reason for this article, and it should be merged into Matroid. 
I may have my facts wrong, but since I studied with Rota, I'm sure I'm not entirely wrong!  Any comments?  Factual, please. Zaslav (talk) 01:31, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Update:  Pregeometry has an entirely different usage in physics.  Thus, a disambiguation page was needed.
