Talk:Animal Boy

message: Someone threatened to block my IP from editing because I felt the citations needed for Love Kills and My Brain is Hanging Upside Down were not necessary. Since it is clear in the lyrics that Love Kills is about what the Wikipedia article says it is about, I took out requests to cite references. My Brain is Hanging Upside Down is very commonly known to be about Ronald Reagan going to Germany. 
I'm not sure why this person threatened my IP with action, as I have never had trouble on this site before. I also don't know how valid the threat to block me was since I went to the user's page, and this user was on a list of blocked or suspended users.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.65.103 (talk) 00:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Columbia Encyclopedia

message: I am the managing editor for reference and electronic publishing at Columbia University Press.  I removed reference in this article to "religious bias" in the encyclopedia, as only the McCabe essay was cited.  McCabe, a Catholic priest turned atheist, was a somewhat virulent anti-Catholic and objected to what he viewed as "pro-Catholic" bias in the Columbia Encyclopedia as well as the Brittanica.  However, his objection wasn't so much to the information contained in those works as it was to standard scholarship on the Catholic Church.  Further, the removed sentence also said that "some" see such religious bias in current editions, but without citing any reference or source.  The removed sentences read: " On the negative side, this encyclopedia has sometimes been accused of having a religious or ethnic bias. While this view has been mainly prevalent with regard to past editions (see below), some people still perceive a certain bias in the present." While I have no objection to criticism of the Columbia Encyclopedia, and indeed welcome it, misleading references to 50-year-old complaints about editions long out of print and further unsourced criticism would seem out of place in a reference work.  I look forward to futher discussion on this.  Ssterns 19:46, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Religious Bias 

message: I think this article is missing a couple key pieces of information.
* The proper name, at least last I saw one, is "Columbia Concise Encyclopedia".
* AFAIK, each article in the CCE is written by an expert in the subject, mostly Profs at Columbia University.  The articles are short, hence "concise", but very good.  Extremely high quality.

Template talk:Districts of Vienna

message: I'm tempted to change this template so that it uses arabic numerals (16) instead of Roman numerals (XVI). The Roman numbers seem difficult to read to me... What do you all think? I'm guessing no one reads this page much, so I'm gonna change it, and that will make you all notice it :). If there are objections, let's talk about them here. - grubber 17:24, 2005 July 10 (UTC)
*I made this template, and I like my original version better. Roman numerals seem natural for this purpose to me. I guess they remind me of those made-to-look-old street signs with Fraktur writing they sometimes put up on historic houses in Vienna. Martg76 18:53, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number Format 

message: 20-Dec-2008: I have added a numbered map of Vienna into the navbox, showing the district numbers in Arabic numerals (which are shorter to fit a small map). Anyone who can read Roman numerals will understand the connection. To balance the visual layout of the box, I added "Districts by Number" at the left edge. All this balancing required use of Template:nowrap, to ensure the district numbers/names were not split between lines, which might split as awkward groups. I personally needed the numbered map as I re-translated all 23 district articles from the German Wikipedia, and I think the small numbered map will help general readers to better visualize each of the districts within Vienna. The map is a very quick GIF image. -Wikid77 (talk) 14:34, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Added map and districts by number

message: 20-Dec-2008: The Template:nowrap is used to keep words on the same line, where non-breaking " " would, otherwise, split and wrap in some cases. The template is used as:

Talk:List of Yuuzhan Vong

message: Unfortunately I'm not in the same city as my collection of NJO books, but I think the following people need to be added for sure:
-Tsavong Lah

-I can't remember his name - but the priest that went with Nom Anor et all to Zonoma Sekot
Other notables:
-Nas Choka
-Elan
-The World Mind
(and now names are failing me)
-The shaper that modified Tahiri
-The one with a vendetta against Corran Horn (domain Shai?)
-Nom Anor's right-hand man in his rebellion (Kunra?)
-Tsavong's father (Starts with a C)
:The only one that's not on the list as of now is Kunra. I don't think the world mind needs to be listed here, as it's not exactly a Yuuzhan Vong. There should be another page that it can go on.Dr. B 16:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone agree with me that Nom Anor should get a separate page where more about him can be put down? He's the only Yuuzhan Vong charachter to appear in every one of the NJO books, or if he doesn't appear in every book, there's only one or two that he's not in. Being as developed and complex as he is, I don't think a small entry on a list page is enough.

It would also be good to verify his birth date and death date.  His birth year shows up as 1887 and the year of his death as 1943 on the page November 23.  We need to reconcile this.

Overall, this article needs extensive rewriting.

message: Marwari traders also came to Astrakhan. The Muslim Agryzhan (pronounced: Agrizhan also Agrijan) descend from about 52 Indian merchants, 1 of whom was a Muslim, the rest was Hindu. The Indian merchants married Muslim Tatar women, also Buddhist Kalmyks (Turk people) and Russian women. The families lived in suburb Agryzhan, the descendants were named after the suburb. This resulted in the people of the Agrizhan Tatars, who were later assimilated into the Astrakhan Tatars. 
Unfortunately, the entire article about the Agrizhan is false.
This is the reason why Agrizhan are Muslims today, but they didnt forget there Indian-Hindu roots. Agrizhan are only culturell Muslims. Tatarsko (talk) 11:02, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

message: See WP:TITLE.
"Film at 11" out-Googles "Film at eleven" easily.  In fact, so does "Film at 11:00"!  Both "11" and "eleven" are normally acceptable textual representations of the spoken idiom, so you did not have a valid reason in the first place.  Of the choices, "11", "11:00", "eleven" or even "XI", "Film at 11" is the most common written form, so it takes priority.
TV stations don't list "eleven" on their webpages either for a time, so you really didn't have a point.  For what it's worth, "Film @ 11" out-Googles all the choices except "Film at 11".  Choor monster (talk) 14:27, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

message: A quick Google reveals the phrase is an entry at urbandictionary.com (pretty much meaningless), and it is used by TV stations on their websites for the name of their 11 o'clock broadcast (which is just a statement of fact).
Note that the "Film at 11" etymology is explained regarding the days when actual "film" was used, and it took time to develop.  "News at 11" is self-explanatory, so it doesn't really fit in here.

The equation in the article is Td = c*γ/(b-γ), but I believe that is only valid for the three constant version. In the 1981 Buck paper he gives the equation for calculating dew point with the additional d constant as: Td = (d/2) * [b - γ - ((b - γ)2 - 4*c*γ/d)1/2]. I stumbled across this because I wrote some code to convert back and forth between RH and dew point, and I found I was getting different answers depending on which direction the calculation went.
