Talk:Fibonacci

message: The beginning of the Bibliography section of this article states that Fibonacci was born around 1170, and that his father, Guglielmo, directed a trading post in Bugia.  Bugia is indicated in this section to be “the capital of the Hammadid empire.”  However, the linked wiki article about the Hammadid dynasty states its period of influence being between 1014-1152.  So by the time Fibonacci was supposed to have been born, the Hammadid empire had already been conquered.
I realize this may be nit-picky, and I suppose one could read that sentence in the Bibliography section as pertaining more to Fibonacci’s *father* than to Fibonacci himself.  However, I still think this bit warrants some clarification.  If we mention Bugia as being the capital of the Hammadid empire, then I think we should indicate that this predated Fibonacci’s birth.  Otherwise, I think the information should be updated to indicate Bugia’s status as it was during Fibonacci’s lifetime.
Again, I realize this is super nit-picky, I just don’t like to see inconsistencies between related wiki articles. 73.170.6.73 (talk) 03:05, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Bejaia at that time was Almohad not Hammadid (And the Hammadid kingdom was never an empire).TybenFree (talk) 23:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I'm almost certain that it was spelled with two b's, which would distinguish it from the abacus. This is important because one of the main things the book accomplished was to eliminate need for the abacus, therefore it seems a little misleading to include this translation and not to include the second "b", as was indicated in The Man of Numbers, one of the books in the "further reading" list. 2601:644:9182:E590:9ECB:89BB:807A:8EF2 (talk) 06:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Peter_Newman may mean:
* Peter Charles Newman, Canadian journalist
* Peter William Geoffrey Newman. Australian Environmental Scientist

Then as I understand it, I would then have to "move" the orignal Peter_Newman entry to Peter_Charles_Newman - and ditto for PWGN?

Since I only came to Wikipedia to share my expertise in this topic, this "sentence enforcement" amounts to a "death penalty" for my only "crime" of being a topical expert trying to help the encyclopedia.  It also creates an unfortunately big vaccuum for the articles to be corrupted by anti-polygamy POV.  I genuinely do hope that this can be re-considered after reading all the Evidence.

message: I hesitate to suggest this, but I wonder whether Researcher99 is a candidate for Wikipedia:Mentorship. He may not accept the mentorship, of course. I don't know whether he realizes how strong his POV is when he edits, or how difficult he is to work with.  If a strong editor were able to direct him, he might be able to add useful, NPOV text to the polygamy article.
I'm of two minds on this issue. Part of me would be glad to have him gone, but I do have hopes of directing him towards constructive editing. Perhaps the threat of a ban will help redirect his energy. Nereocystis 23:58, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Category talk:Fjords

message: I've recently created a page for the coastline of British Columbia, aka British Columbia Coast, which attempts to list all the major fjords hierarchically (they come in "family trees" is why) plus an exposition of the history and other relevant info about that coast.  I've been putting the "Fjords" category on the bottom of each of them; but now I see there's e.g. Fjords of Norway, so I'm wondering if a new category for the PacNW/BC should be started.
I see Hood Canal and Portland Canal were already created before I got going on Bute, Knight, Gardner, and the other BC inlets; my BC Coast page ends at the Alaska Panhandle and the 49th Parallel, but I refer from those points to the pages on those areas; which I suppose should have their own fjords listing too.  
The idea with the separate BC Coast page is the much higher profile the BC Coast plays in the consciousness/identity of British Columbia, relative to the role the geographic extension of it plays in AK, WA or in the larger US.  I could have titled it Pacific Northwest Coast, and maybe that's still the way to go, but given there's already a Pacific Northwest page (which excludes BC, or rather mentions it as a "some people consider" addition, which in BC we don't consider, we know).  Input sought. Skookum1 21:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

message: WikiProject Music Theory is spearheading a proposal to unify the layout of the scale-degree pages. The discussion can be found here. Since these pages not only include discussion of the scale-degrees, but also occasionally discuss triads and seventh chords built on these scale-degrees, it is important to systemize these pages. This will also curtail the creation of pages for each individual triad and seventh chord, some which may not necessarily contain enough content to be expanded beyond a stub. I invite you to comment on the proposal with thoughts, criticisms, or suggestions. Thanks! — Devin.chaloux (chat) 19:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Semantic link

message: I came here by accident more then on purpose, so forgive me if I don't fully grasp the text of the article. 
What I do understand (in my own words) is that a semantic link is more of less a labeled link connecting nodes in a web.
When these labels are predefined as (a hierarchy of) categories these labels could be seen as types. This would make automated semantic interpretation relative easy to do by software. Adding new relationships could proof to be more difficult however.
When labels are not predefined, their meaning (semantics) is defined by their usage. New relations can be created whenever needed. Just by labeling a link with a new label. Automated semantic interpretation however will be much more complicated. Because any new label will most likely require additional logic to process correctly. Someone will have to add this to the system. Being able to define the meaning of sets of labels and being able to define equivalent classes between sets could be helpful as well. 
Is this a correct interpretation and line of reasoning? -- Madiuq 22:20, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

(While at the same time preserving the form for any municipality that already has it, unless and until they decide to adopt a Faulkner Act form of government.)  I believe the same is true of the 1923 Municipal Manager statute, which is especially superfluous given the Faulkner Act.  Does anyone know?  Neutron 22:41, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure myself. I've done tons of research on the New Jersey forms of government, but I'm not sure if a municipality can adopt either a Walsh Act or 1923 Municipal Manager form. I'm pretty certain that you can no longer switch to any of the traditional forms (e.g., Village, Borough, Town, Township or City). I will continue to check this out. It would seem logical that only Faulkner Act forms would be permitted, and furthermore, the features of the two intermediate forms are largely available in the various Faulkner forms.
