Talk:Sugar addiction

message: Contrary to the impression left by this article, the concept of "sugar addiction" is not a part of mainstream medicine. For example, it's absent from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. I've offered a couple of sources that reflect the "fringe" nature of the concept, but really the article should be entirely recast. 
As it stands, it's quite a disservice to anyone seeking information about eating disorders and merely plays into a popular tendency to overuse the term "addiction."

Talk:Adjoint representation of a Lie algebra

message: The relationship between ad and Ad should really be its own article, and 
that article should develop the vector fields as well. Unfortunately, the articles on differential forms and manifolds need to be brought up to snuff as well. 
:I don't agree that the relationship between Ad and ad should have separate articles.  I think the adjoint rep of a group and the adjoint rep of an algebra should be in the same article, along with the relationship between the two. Lethe | Talk 03:05, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
::Err, maybe .. as long as the article stays short, they can stay together.  But I think one can say a lot more about Ad, and that would end up making the article long .. too long.  Also, what we really really need is a good article on exp and Exp and all of that tangled relationship. Ten years ago, I ditched my book on Lie algebras, now I am sorry I did... linas 20:53, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: No, actually, I take that back. This article is about algebras, and that article is about groups.  I am somwhat concerned that by trying to talk about algebras and groups at the same time, the article will get unweildy, and too long ... the algebra and the group really do behave differently.  However, this article should be renamed adjoint representation of a Lie algebra or something like that. linas 20:44, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Are leg-byes debited from the bowler's total? Tabletop 02:07, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Leg-byes are not counted to the bowler's conceded runs. They are just like byes in this way. DarthVader 01:24, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The article mentions Steve Waugh's call for them to be abolished because "I don't think you should get runs when you miss the ball". The Extra (cricket) article says "...leg byes are not scored against the bowler or the wicket keeper, because they are not their fault and occur at random." 
So why on earth do they exist at all? 
Since it mentions Waugh's view, a perfectly sensible one to me, a balancing comment in the article justifying their existence might be of value. Maybe there is something in the long history of cricket that could help explain it. HiLo48 (talk) 02:48, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why do leg byes exist? 

message: The Leg Before Wicket article states that the batsman is out by LBW if the ball hits any part of his body.  This article says that the batsman can score runs as Leg Byes if the ball deflects off his body.  Perhaps somebody who knows something about cricket could explain LBW vs Leg Bye?  Edmund Blackadder (talk) 06:30, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In really simple terms, you can only be out LBW if the umpire deems that the ball would have hit the stumps if you hadn't been in the way. If the ball wasn't going to hit the stumps, you can score leg byes. (The rule is actually a lot more complicated than that, but what I've given you is the spirit of the rule. Other editors may come here now and want to try to explain the actual, full LBW rule in all it's horrible glory, but since we're explaining this to a novice, I actually hope they don't.)

If it were up to me, I'd schedule elections every three months for two years, every six months for five years more after that, and every year for the following decade. Because of Sunni boycotts of Dec, 2005 elections, there is a major imbalance of political power between sects, and this may (crazily possibly) be part of the source of the sectarian death squads and counter-offensives.

Talk:List of California locations by income

message: I've removed the italicised portion of the following sentence from the article:
:California is the thirteenth-richest state in the United States of America, with a per capita income of $22,711 (2000) and a personal per capita income of $33,749 (2003).
The "personal per capita income" wikilink redirects to the "per capita income" page, and I see no explanation on that page of the difference between the two figures. All the other figures in the lists (so far as I've checked them) are from the 2000 census, so I'm not sure why the 2003 figure was even there, but, in any case, if "personal per capita income" is to be included then there needs to be an explanation (or a link to an explanation) of how it differs from ordinary per capita income.

Talk:National Freeway 3

message: Maybe due to a incorrect understanding between the words "Highway" and "Freeway" during the early years, Freeways in Taiwan got a strange (but official) English translation called "National Highway" by the authorities. Hence, if we follow the naming of the government, this freeway should be called "National Highway No.3"(國道三號) instead of "Freeway No.3"(三號高速公路) (i.e. National Highway Network Map). However, National Highway No.3 also got an official alias called "Formosa Freeway"(福爾摩沙高速公路), although its early alias "Second Freeway"(第二高速公路) is more popular still.--SElefant 03:05, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the effort. I agree that, even the bureau itself got a conflict name compare to the term they use when mentioning those ????ways. So, maybe they treat the term "National Highway" equal to the term "Freeway", but I'm not 100% sure, either. In my opinion, I think local government didn't pay enough attention on internationalization of the transportation systems here. My boss is a British guy who stayed in Taiwan for 20 more years, but he still continues complaining that he can't figure out the exact meaning on those road signs, milage infos, since there are too many kinds of translation of a same place. For example, the bureau called 汐止交流道 as "Sijhih SIC" on their road map, but if you pass by Neihu SIC recently, you will see a sign "Northbound to XiZhi" by the entrance of the freeway. Can anyone imagine that "Sijhih" and "Xizhi" are different translations of a same place without understanding Chinese Characters first??? Due to these kinds of stupid things, no wonder we have to struggle here while trying to find a correct name of a specific road.--SElefant 08:50, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

:The book ANZACS, The Media and The Great War by John F Williams (UNSW Press, 1999) shows Australia's per capita war-time losses and mobilisation as less than those of France, Germany, the UK and NZ but ahead of Canada (graph p 27).  On page 28 Williams points out that this "popular truism" has been stated in relatively recent times by prime ministers Fraser and Keating who he excuses as being poorly advised.  He has little time for the historian Laffin though who wrote of the soldierly reputation of the 1st AIF rivalling "that of any army in the entire 3500 year recorded history of warfare" but failed to provide sources for  the concensus or name the authoratative "military historians and generals".
:Australia did have the highest proportion of deaths to mobilisations at 14.19% compared with NZ of 12.92% and Great Britain of 12.8%.  Germany lost 19.48% and France lost 20.24%. (Williams page 270)
