Talk:Resettlement Administration

message: Under the "See Also" heading, there is this sentence:  "The Resettlement Administration was produced in 1819. It helped people in the civil war."  What, exactly, is this supposed to mean, and why is it there?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.177.204.52 (talk • contribs).

message: Sorry about this one, but here goes.
The entry talks about the Photography and Film "Projects".  Sidney Baldwin in Poverty and Politics: The Rise and Decline of the Farm Security Administration refers to them as "Sections" on p. 118.  Does anyone know the proper name for these units/divisions?  Although Baldwin's text is several decades old by now, he nonetheless used LOTS of primary sources (govt. documents, letters, etc.) - so he just might be using names lifted directly from legislation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.128.27.121 (talk) 18:19, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Essays of Elia

message: I added a link to the first of the essays, from "The South-Sea House" to South Sea Bubble. This was removed, with the edit summary that it does not link to the essay. I think it is unlikely that Wikipedia will soon support an article on each individual essay, nor do I see that level of detail as a priority. On the other hand, I believe it provides a service to our readers to show them what the essays refer to. I could understand if the objection was to the link itself, preferring South Sea Company to South Sea Bubble, but how does it improve the article to have neither? I will be bold, and re-add, and will link another essay to the eponymous Christ's Hospital. (Could the reader be expected to guess that this is not a hospital, but the famous and influential Bluecoat School?) Perhaps many more such links would be possible; I haven't examined all of the essays. I think links such as these help build the encyclopedia. If anyone wishes to remove these links, please explain how you think their omission improves the article. BrainyBabe (talk) 19:35, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for explaining your reasoning here. I agree that those links might help clarify some of the words/phrases. I had just seen others before take those type edits out elsewhere since it wasn't a link to the work itself. Might be related to link clarity or specificity perhaps. You are right that, especially since they don't have articles of their own, linking some of the words for clarity could help readers, possibly.

Talk:2007 Chinese Professional Baseball League season

Talk:Instrument rating in the United States

message: I changed it back to what it was before, as it is quite legal to operate an aircraft in class G airspace in weather below VFR minimums without an IFR clearance. An instrument rating (and a complete lack of sense) is required for such operation, though whether you could actually call that "operating under instrument flight rules" (which to me implies an IFR clearance) is debatable.
On a related note, this article needs some serious cleanup, and when someone (probably me) gets around to it, I don't think this paragraph will be an issue any longer.--chris.lawson 04:43, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think your assumption that 'IFR' implies an IFR clearance is correct - specifically in Class G operations under IMC, IFR flight is legal (though not very sensible), but will receive no ATC clearance. Thus the wording should be: "A pilot must have an instrument rating in order to act as Pilot in Command of a flight under IFR. The rating is also required:...". The part before the 'also' specifically includes Class G IMC operations. Crum375 05:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Pharmacodynamics

message: I think this pharmacodynamics page needs a major overhaul. It is currently a mix of ligand binding theory very loosely connected to real pharmacodynamics i.e. the relationship between concentration and response. 
The ligand binding figure is mis-labelled 'dose response' (dose and concentration are NOT the same). It also uses 'efficacy' inappropriately. Efficacy in a pharmacodynamic context refers to the maximum possible effect of a drug (Emax). 
Would whoever provided the 'dose-response' figure please consider producing a more accurately labelled replacement? NHGH 11:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The subsection Noncentral t-distribution#Mode currently says
:Moreover, the negative of the mode is exactly the mode for a noncentral t-distribution with the same number of degrees of freedom ν but noncentrality parameter −μ.
:The mode is strictly increasing with μ when μ > 0 and strictly decreasing with μ when μ < 0.
These are mutually contradictory when μ < 0. The last part of the last sentence says that when μ is negative and increases toward 0, the mode goes in the opposite direction (away from 0). That conflicts with the first quoted sentence, which implies that the μ > 0 and μ < 0 cases both have the mode going in the same direction as μ.
Unless I hear an objection, I’ll change the last sentence to The mode is strictly increasing with μ. Loraof (talk) 20:07, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mode as a function of noncentrality parameter 

message: The subsection Noncentral t-distribution#Mode gives a lower and an upper bound to the mode:
: \sqrt{\frac{\nu}{\nu+(5/2)}} < \frac{\mathrm{mode}}{\mu} < \sqrt{\frac{\nu}{\nu+1}}.
Then it says:
"In the limit, when μ → 0, the mode is approximated by"
:\sqrt{\frac{\nu}{2}}\frac{\Gamma\left(\frac{\nu+2}{2}\right)}{\Gamma\left(\frac{\nu+3}{2}\right)}\mu;\,
However this aproximation is worse (by worse I mean lower) than the lower bound: \sqrt{\frac{\nu}{\nu+5/2}}\mu\,.
The article from where this was taken doesn't compare the result it obtained for the μ → 0 approximation with the bounds it provided. Does anyone know why the lower bound would not be a better approximation than the currently one?

Talk:Bane (Forgotten Realms)

message: The images of Bane in 3rd edition D&D differ considerably from those where he appeared in 1st edition. Several D&D PC games of the late '80s and early '90s made from the 1st edition D&D storyline had graphics of Bane with a bluish white, wide monsterous face, a row of sharp teeth and prominent horns that looked like the horns of an Impala (or similar Bovidae-like horns). This was a consistant image of Bane until there weren't any used throughout most, if not all, of the 2nd edition. Then when he returns in the 3rd  edition he just looks like a dark skinned bald humanoid. Maybe someone with access to the image could take a screenshot of the older Bane visage. 67.5.157.186 06:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
