Talk:Discrepancy of hypergraphs

message: This page cites Helm's result.  Has anyone (including the person who added the reference) been able to follow the proof in that paper?  If there is such a person, please drop me an e-mail. Boris Bukh (talk) 20:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Results of the form the discrepancy of a random t-regular hypergraph is bounded by function f(n,m,t) almost surely as n [or t] grows are notably absent in the Theorems section. On top of my head, I can think of work by Ezra & Lovett (2015), Bansal & Meka (2019) and the most recently the ICALP 2020 Best Student Paper by Potukchi. I just wondered whether the article deliberately focuses on deterministic results or whether randomness would be welcome as well.
Thanks for any feedback.
Off topic: It is kinda funny to see a 2007 (ancient) comment by Boris Bukh on this talk page right after entering his 2016 result on Beck–Fiala.^^

Talk:Metropol (Berlin)

message: I have to do some more research, but I think that the Metropol Theater (and thus Neues Schauspielhaus) actually fell into in East Berlin, not West as currently stated. The name Theater im Admiralspalast might also be needed in the historical discussion. Note that the site of the building now know as the Komische Oper originally held an earlier Metropol Theater.Stagehand (talk) 20:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Those were two different establishments. The “Metropol-Theater” in East-Berlin (1898-1998) (Metropol-Theater in de-WP) was the more famous one, but the “Neues Schauspielhaus” in West-Berlin was also called “Metropol” from 1951 on for a few years (being a movie theater back then). --Diggindeeper (talk) 12:00, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Madison Group

message: Why is it called "Madison"? Is there a particular town/county/region it is named after? -- 19:56, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was named for occurrences along the Madison River, Montana, but it will take some work to verify that. Thanks for the question. Cheers Geologyguy (talk) 21:29, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

text: I've added what I could find. Apparently when the name was first used in 1893, there was no specific indication of the basis for the name, but Peale was working in the Three Forks area then, so I think the apocryphal suggestion that it is based on the Madison River is pretty reasonable.

Talk:The Fixx

message: This article claims the band is "one of the few bands to have enjoyed significant success outside their country of origin, notably in the United States and Canada, yet remain almost unknown in their home land." It is patently untrue that few bands enjoy significant success outside their country of origin, as hundreds of examples of US or British bands attest. If the intended meaning is that the Fixx is rare in being popular outside their country while remaining relatively unknown within their country, a consistent form must be maintained to indicate that, such as "...while remaining almost unknown..." or "...but to remain almost unknown..." In its current form, the "yet" clause modifies the first claim rather than elaborating and continuing it. Furthermore, such a claim needs sourcing.

Talk:1960 Writers Guild of America strike

message: Hi, I came across this article in Recent Changes, where an IP editor had completely reversed the meaning of the text. On looking further, I realised that the previous editor had also changed the meaning drastically, so in three successive versions we had three wildly different sets of facts. The article also had no sources whatsoever, and on Google, the majority of hits about the subject were this article or mirrors of it, raising the risk of circular-referencing supporting contradictory accounts. It had been templated as lacking citations.
I have therefore reduced it to a one-sentence stub, adding one source (which isn't great because it's not really independent of the subject, though I have no reason to doubt its accuracy). I would invite other editors to enlarge the text to make this article what it should be, but please don't just revert/add unsubstantiated facts. Facts must be supported in some way.

Talk:Fluhrer, Mantin and Shamir attack

message: The article is not clear.
What are a and b?
Where does IVs enter the picture? They are not mentioned in the algorithm description.
Moreover, the article discusses only WEP. Does this attack apply only to WEP (in which case I think it should be renamed) or does it apply to RC4 in general?
Agreed. The pseudo code presented is only for RC4. Though RC4 is considered cryptographically broken - as the wiki page will attest - the vulnerability described in the article pertains to a particular implementation. It is really unclear how WEP uses IVs in conjunction with RC4. Moreover, what makes these IVs weak? How does it relate to RC4? I'm not an expert on the subject, so it would be nice for someone more knowledgeable than I to come clear this up. 76.165.248.106 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 05:41, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Bellerophon5685 has decided to redirect from the CORRECTLY-titled "Visaria" (as featured on signposts within Universal's 1940s horror movies) to "Vasaria" because he/she 'thinks' that the latter is the correct spelling. How about finding out first, rather than just guessing?!  Wholly Minty (talk) 18:48, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Pointless insults aside, the problem is that the signposts are the only place that “Visaria” seems to be used - from the way that the cast pronounce it in film after film, it seems that “Vasaria” was what was intended. Does anyone have access to a script, which might provide confirmation? Until then, it may be best to adopt the course taken by this web-page, and have it as “‘Vasaria (sometimes Visaria)”.

 Also the Europa set sail to Melbourne, Australia and Arrived in September 1852.
Either 1911 for year of the the initial launch, or the year of the arrival in Melbourne 1852 is wrong. 
By  Sail-World: Enterprize at Melbourne Tall Ship Festival in September, dated August 2013 mentioning expected presence of three Netherlands tall ships, I suppose the year could be 2013. SeapixOnline confirms Europa was at that festival, and the sentence should be:  
 Also the Europa set sail to Melbourne, Australia and Arrived in September 2013.
Tall Ships Au confirms Europa was there recently, but probably several times (and is expected again), so I cant be completely certain about the year originally meant.
