Talk:Kill Rock Stars

message: Is it possible to quantify the loss or gain of "indie cred?" Maybe I just object to the wording, or maybe I'm just being overly critical. Thoughts? --djrobgordon 23:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Indie cred 

message: I don't agree that the Decembrists are the most popular product of KRS.  I've never even heard of them.  This Decembrists band might be the most popular *now* but certainly not in the history of the label.  I changed the sentence so it is now 97% opinion-free. Monkeyfacebag 03:38, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Decembrists 

message: Although it might be legitimate to believe that Kill Rock Stars has become more commercial, the examples cited are poor.  When Kill Rock Stars signed the Decemberists they had sold 800 records of their debut album.  Signing the Decemberists was well withint KRS's pattern of signing unestablished artists and trying to help them grow.  I don't understand why the Decemberists' success is indicative of a move toward being "more commercial" if similar successes years earlier with Sleater-Kinney and Elliott Smith were not considered "more commercial."  Kill Rock Stars licensed Linda Perry's album directly from her and the only way it could be construed as a "major label affiliation" is that the album originally appeared on a major label ten years earlier, but after 7 years the rights reverted to the artist, who licensed the album to Kill Rock Stars.  Although Linda Perry has enjoyed success as a band member of 4 Non Blondes, and as a songwriter, she has never enjoyed commercial success as a solo artist, and the reissue of her solo album on Kill Rock Stars only sold a few thousand units, which can hardly be considered "commercial."

Talk:L'Hôpital's rule

message: The example below the infobox shows \lim_{x\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sin{x}}{-0.5x} = -\frac{1}{2}\lim_{x\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sin{x}}{x}. However, L'Hopital's rule cannot be applied to this limit, as the proof of the derivative of \sin{x} depends on knowing precisely this limit.
Proof:
\frac{d}{dx}\sin{x}=\lim_{h\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sin{(x+h)}-\sin{x}}{h}=\lim_{h\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sin{x}\cos{h}+\cos{x}\sin{h}-\sin{x}}{h}=\cos{x}\lim_{h\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sin{h}}{h}+\sin{x}\lim_{h\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\cos{x}-1}{h},
\lim_{h\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\sin{h}}{h}=1, \lim_{h\rightarrow{0}}\frac{\cos{x}-1}{h}=0
\therefore\frac{d}{dx}\sin{x}=\cos{x}
I think this should be changed to a different example.

I wrote the original article to list the benefit of music lessons, I expected someone would refine the writing but preserve the points in the article.  I was really disappointed when someone changed the title of the article to change the subject totally.  Then someone else followed by rewriting to the new subject line.

Talk:Democratic socialism

message: The first paragraph of the Europe section seems to conflate democratic socialism with social democracy, for the most part, only talking about social democratic parties and countries that follow the Nordic model. Should this paragraph be moved to the social democracy article or perhaps removed in its entirety assuming that the aforementioned article already states this information? digiulio8 (talk) 22:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The entire article is largely nonsense. It's an attempt to cobble together a grandiose history for a new-ish political grouping that is, in terms of what its (mostly American) adherents believe, indistinguishable from social democracy. The reality is that the term 'Democratic socialism' really emerged in the early 90s as a way to differentiate existing Western social-democratic parties from the old Eastern bloc communist parties. It then evolved to describe the "really social-democratic" groups in opposition to the old parties that had slid to the political center. This page really should be dedicated to illustrating that semantic shift and nothing else. 82.12.128.242 (talk) 11:25, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

text: It seems a couple people decided to dramatically change the articles on social democracy and democratic socialism with cherry picked sources to portray them as the same (despite adherents to each regularly distinguishing the two). They used to be pretty accurate articles a couple years ago, so perhaps it would be beneficial to look at previous versions and revive that essence, with additional sources.

Talk:Calmodulin

message: Hello, I am looking to make some edits to this Wikipedia page and would love any feedback or suggestions that you think might be helpful. 
First, I want to add information to the general section, giving a bit better introduction to what Calmodulin is and why it is important, why it is a good secondary messenger etc. (without creating redundancies between the introduction and the rest of the article).
I would also like to use Pymol or another structure generating program to create images that depict the overall globular structure of calmodulin and indicate where the N-terminus, C-terminus and 4 calcium binding sites are located as well as where it would bind to other larger molecules etc. I would also like to create two images side to side as a visual representation of the conformational changes in the alpha helices EF hand motif, and how that effects the binding of target proteins. And I would like to add some discussion on how exposing hydrophobic regions plays a role in its binding of target proteins. 
Another important change that I would like to make is to add sections about the importance of calmodulin in specific physiological systems such as muscle contraction, long-term synaptic potentiation (short-term/long-term memory), metabolism, inflammation, apoptosis, intracellular movements, and immune response. These sections will have details about the way the calmodulin plays a role in specific bodily functions and what other molecules it interacts with during these processes.
Thank you!
