message: The census data shows a huge 45.8% population decline from 1850 - 1860.  Even by 1960, the population hadn't recovered to 1850's level.  What could have caused this?

Talk:Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania

message: I've been assessing a number of Pennsylvania articles and, as far as geographical areas go, I'm typically handing out lower classes to areas with little historical information. Considering the plethora of history to be found in this county (and I say this as some on the east side of the Susquehanna!), I am extremely surprised that there is not even a section for it here. If I get a chance, I'll try and get some information on the mine riots up; but I welcome anyone else to beat me to it (since I suspect I'll procrastinate on this for a long time). --Thisisbossi 09:31, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

You have amended the text to the following, but these new numbers are not from Barbero:

I was under the impression that a disambiguation page was supposed to differentiate between Wikipedia articles, not provide a text list of absolutely everything a word could refer to.  I think that if any of the non-wikilinked entries are subjects that should be covered by Wikipedia, they should be converted to red links.

It has melodic vocals, angsty lyrics, a dj and funk influence but that's where the nu metal comparisons stop. There's no extremely downtuned guitars (only moderately heavy guitars), no pantera/thrash metal influence, no rapping, and growled/shouted vocals. Alt rock, alt metal and funk rock are much more accurate genres, now please stop adding this genre, unless reliable sources start showing up. I call the big one bitey 06:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight

message: The list of causes is exhaustive but missing a key cause that has been validated by Benny Morris, a historian cited multiple times in this article. 
Benny Morris states, "Birth Revisited describes many more atrocities and expulsions than were recorded in the original version of the book. But, at the same time, a far greater proportion of the 700,000 Arab refugees were ordered or advised by their fellow Arabs to abandon their homes than I had previously registered. It is clear from the new documentation that the Palestinian leadership in principle opposed the Arab flight from December 1947 to April 1948, while at the same time encouraging or ordering a great many villages to send away their women, children and old folk, to be out of harm's way. Whole villages, especially in the Jewish- dominated coastal plain, were also ordered to evacuate. There is no doubt that, throughout, the departure of dependents lowered the morale of the remaining males and paved the way for their eventual departure as well" here. 
Given that it is imperative we also add that Arabs also left because of the encouragement of their fellow Arabs. While the amount can be debated, leaving this out is missing an important element of historical accuracy. If Benny Morris can be cited for Israeli atrocities, he should also be cited for this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lionbear10 (talk • contribs)

Talk:Fuzzy logic

message: Might a worked example of fuzzy logic in action help illustrate it better? It could cover the three stated steps of a fuzzy-logic decision process:
* Fuzzify all input values into fuzzy membership functions.
* Execute all applicable rules in the rulebase to compute the fuzzy output functions.
* De-fuzzify the fuzzy output functions to get "crisp" output values.
I suggest this since I found this article helpful for establishing the concepts but it felt hard to see how they are applied without seeing a concrete example. This external article I found on Google gives a concrete example. Jtaylor100 (talk) 15:16, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Announcement to remove a reference 

message: In the section bibliography, there are four sources which are not fitting very well to an overview article. They are:
* Lohani, A. K.(2011). "Comparative study of neural network, fuzzy logic and linear transfer function techniques in daily rainfall”
* Masmoudi, Malek (July 2012). Project scheduling under uncertainty using fuzzy modeling"
* Moghaddam, M. J. (2013). "Sequence planning for stamping operations”
* Zemankova-Leech, M. (1983). "Fuzzy Relational Data Bases"
The first three items are academic papers which are published in a specialized journal about Fuzzy logic. Even if the articles are written very well they are hard to understand for non-experts in this field. The last reference is a dissertation which is an example for a primary source too. Similar to a journal article, a dissertation was addressed only to a small audience. If no counter arguments are provided, i will delete these four references in the near future which helps to reduce the article size.--ManuelRodriguez (talk) 17:30, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Mayonnaise

message: Most of the History section is suitably tentative about the many theories about the origin of the name of the sauce. But as of this writing, the opening paragraph comes down squarely on the claim that it originated in Mahon - which is far from certain and in fact is treated far more tentatively in the same section. Yes, this paragraph is cited to some published sources which make the same claim, but this is a subject for which one can find all manner of different positions in modern printed sources. No source from the period or just after (late 18th into 19th) supports the "Mahon" version. Ideally, the whole paragraph should be removed; the "Mahon" theory still has its place later in the section.

In order to clear up any confusion and prevent further confusion, I strongly suggest that we either cut the 1806 reference altogether or elaborate more on the reason 1806 should be regarded as the birthday of mayo. 2603:6010:E700:1434:2905:C396:42BC:89BF (talk) 18:36, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
