Talk:WPGU

message: I deleted the following from the article: 
*"PGU" stands for (I believe) "Permanent Ground Unit" which was a wartime barracks building.
My recollection (from where, I cannot say, though I was an ex-officio member of the Illini Publishing Company board of directors in the 1970s) is that the initials stood for "Parade Ground Unit".  Nothing should be added to the article until there is some verification, however.

Talk:Battle of Papudo

message: Why does it say 'Peruvian-Chilean fleet', if only a Chilean ship fought the battle?
As far as I can understand, Peru declared war to Spain on Jan 14, 1866, way after the battle. So, there cannot be "Peruvian fleet". Besides, how can combined fleet consist of a single ship? Verdi1 20:22, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Prince Geoffie

message: I walked out, you left me... sorry just having an Exponents moment there. Um, there was a stub page for Bonnie Prince Geoffie. An Aussie deleted it and put a redirect to McGSP. Good idea or nooo? Should he stay or should he go?
Note you deleted contents of this page and redirected to McGillicuddy Serious Party. While the two pages had broadly similar material about his history, the Prince Geoffie page was a stub to be elaborated on, which I see several people made contributions to in the space of a few months, so there is every reason to believe it would continue to develop new material. Those hunting only him are directed to a page which is mostly not relevant, where as my understanding of the redirect function is that it is to prevent duplicate articles where terms are synonyms, not to prevent repition of material in different pages. Repitition is logically necessary with every biography and history article. I am inclined to resurrect the Prince Geoffie stub, but wished to hear your views first.

Talk:Minimal polynomial

message: The description 
"The multiplicity of a root λ of p(x) is the geometric multiplicity of λ"
is wrong.
For example, take the same example in the desription:
Consider the matrix 4In, which has characteristic polynomial (x − 4)n. However, the minimal polynomial is x − 4, since 4I − 4I = 0 as desired. Multiplicity of 4 in the minimum polynomial p(x) is 1, which is different from the geometric multiplicity which we know is 4.

Category talk:Figurate numbers

message: It seems entirely unnecessary to me to have both a category for figurate numbers, and a ton of articles on them.
It is as silly as having a category: :Category:Univariate polynomials with consitutent articles Quadratic polynomial, Cubic polynomial, ..., Quintic polynomial, Septic polynomial, octic polynomial, nonic polynomial, decic polynomial, ..., etc., etc.
I'm not sure I feel proactive enough to nominate everything for deletion, but I do think everything in this category should be in one article.
Thoughts? --Saforrest 19:50, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be a big chore to merge all of these into one big article; it might make that one big article mind-numbing to read through.  These numbers have distinct histories, and properties, and the current structure allows for expansion. Comparing to polynomials is not fair: quadratic, cubic and quartic really do have thier own distinct articles, and are not merged into one. There are no articles on septic, octic, etc because there is nothing to say about those that isn't generic. A better comparison might be :Category:Polyhedra; one would not want to merge all of those articles.  I see no harm leaving things as they are. But I have no particularly strong opinion. linas 00:58, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:American racehorses

message: The merger of "Category:Racehorses bred in the United States" with the ambiguously titled category "American racehorses" was completely WRONG and seems to have been carried out by people with no knowledge of horseracing.
We are now back to the old unsatisfactory mixture of horses bred or trained in the USA with no distinction between the two.
A horse such as Miesque, trained in France by François Boutin, should not be described as an "American racehorse", nor should Sadler's Wells, trained in Ireland by Vincent O'Brien. Both horses were born in the USA, but to attribute a nationality to these horses on this basis is misleading.
It is important that "Category:Racehorses bred in the United States" is reinstated and that "Category:American racehorses" is deleted - and I shall do the deed myself if necessary!

replies: text: And one other minor tidbit: Cole Porter was both composer and lyricist for Kiss Me, Kate, so that's why only one name is listed.

It's some kind of essay on Clan Fraser and Clan Fraser of Lovat, with very little of anything about their Scoto-Norman nature, even in that context.  And it reads like it's been lifted without attribution straight out of somebody else's previous work, or original research.
But (at least for the moment), I'm not suggesting an AFD, because I think there is an interesting article which could be written on the clan structures that grew out of the Scoto-Normans planted by e.g. David I, and whether that background makes for any kind of useful or distinctive thread in understanding Scottish history.  -- Jheald 21:05, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
