Talk:Lei Áurea

message: I'm certainly not stating this as fact, but a Brazilian person once told me that the law abolishing slavery in Brazil (she didn't mention Lei Aurea specifically) was only for the term of 100 years, meaning that theoretically, slavery could now be reinstituted in Brazil.  (Not that there is any serious move to do so.)  Maybe this isn't important, but it's sure interesting trivia.  Does anybody know more about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.252.235 (talk) 04:13, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Could be, but the Portuguese Site gives a copy of what looks like the heading of the law, and it says that it makes slavery extinct. It seems pretty definate, but this isn't exhaustive research or anything. Kyle543 20:09, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
The above-mentioned copy is the complete law (it is remarkably concise) and it declares slavery extinct "from the date of this law", with no mention of a 100-year term.  --- Mmcarvalho  18:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Knock, County Mayo

message: I have a question--shouldn't the bulk of this article be on another page like Knock (Apparition)?  --ℬastique▼talk 04:17, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: With a population of nearly 2,000 people in and around the city, as well as a regional airport to call its own, it must be of note.  Admittedly, it is the site of a major pilgrimage shrine, and likely would not exist in its form today, but the town of Knock has other resources, and as this is an article about a town, not an event, splitting off the event and referencing it from another article seems more reasonable than conglomerating the two.

Talk:Timeline of 20th-century Muslim history

message: This is a lot more like a timeline of Middle Eastern History.
Requires MAJOR overhaul.
*I agree, people seem to be infusing political bias and historical whitewashing in what should be a cut and dry religious (not political) history.
 
:** The events are not appreciably different from those in the 6th-19th century timelines. For instance, the Abbasid revolution that toppled the Umayyad dynasty has little religious significance, but it still is and should be included on the timeline. The wars, regime changes, etc. chronicled on this timeline are no different.
** This is in fact a political history of Islam, just like each of the previous centuries. In fact, essentially all references on the history of Islam are largely political (E.g., Oxford History of Islam, Islam in Modern History, A Modern History of the Islamic World). That is because, unlike, say, Christianity in general, Islam engages in social and political questions. If, however, you did a timeline of the history of the Catholic Church, that too would be largely political.AnthroMimus (talk) 03:45, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Incidental sources

message: The following run on sentence is of obscure meaning, at best: "He is the subject of the biography Urquhart of Arnhem () by John Baynes which was also the source of the film's title which Ryan says he found mentioned during the final conference at Montgomery's Headquarters on Operation Market-Garden, 10 September 1944, as recalled in Major General Roy E. Urquhart's memoirs who heard it said by Browning. However, in the script the phrase is uttered at the end of the film." The previously unmentioned Ryan is perhaps Cornelius Ryan; who the second 'he' is is unclear; and the latter part of the sentence, attributing the phrase 'a bridge too far' to Urquhart's memoirs, not Baynes' biography.  I've removed all but the declarative first clause, and leave the rest here for someone who has Baynes', Ryan's and Urquhart's books available to sort the issues out.

thread_title: Unclear sentence

message: Rated C-class because of missing citations. The introduction is supposed to summarize the article and may include from one to four paragraphs. Obviously, you don't want to rehash the entire article. However, in my opinion it would be a good idea to include more material in the introduction. The Arnhem section did not include the incident where Urquart was trapped behind German lines as related in Cornelius Ryan's A Bridge Too Far. It would be appropriate to provide more details of the battle, since this was the high point of Urquart's career. The dates when he was promoted to brigadier and major general would also be helpful, if available. Thanks. Djmaschek (talk) 03:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Box-Cox transformation

message: I have removed this material:
:In regression analysis, one sometimes carries out a series of Box-Cox transformations of the response variable with a range of values of λ and α, and one then compares the residual sum of squares at these values in order to choose the transformation which gives the best results. Because the residual sum of squares is proportional to the log-likelihood, this procedure amounts to approximate maximum likelihood estimation.
from the Background section.  Reducing RSS is not the goal—otherwise often using the stronger transformations without limit in either direction, depending whether the data are less than or greater than one, will yield better and better RSSs.  I think what is meant here is the shape of the residual distribution is observed, e.g., for symmetry, equal widths across data space, etc.  Baccyak4H (Yak!) 15:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: When I bought the red Days of the New album, it came with a second disk in a paper case.  This second disk is black with red text.  At the top of this disk, it says “Days of the New”, and at the bottom of the disk, it lists the two tracks, under which it says “Written and Composed by Travis Meeks”.  Below that, it has and Outpost Recordings symbol next to a Geffen symbol.  The two tracks on this disk are:
#Two Faces
#Champagne
I see no mention of this second disk in this article.  Perhaps not many know of it.
I searched for a picture of the disk.  The first page I found was this.  Although it lists both tracks in the correct order, this page depicts a cover I’ve never seen before.  Perhaps this cover was indeed released with this disk at some point, but if so, I don’t have it.
The only other picture I’ve been able to locate is this one.  This is exactly what the disk I own looks like.
Given that this disk was sold along with the red Days of the New, it perhaps merits mention in this article.

Therefore, the article title should have remained how it was originally created, in accordance with Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English.

I am sure that there are arguable cases for compliance, or failure of compliance, with the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees by Australia.  It's a debatable claim that detention constitutes persecution of a particular group (in fact, it's incredibly speculative).  I am not aware of any authoritative body that has held this to be the case.  Therefore, unless someone decides to contest this, I will delete the non-neutral section.
