His statement was correct, however the source I had used was a news and blog site, meaning, that the editors/journalists publish news as well as blogs on the site, just like several sites publish stuff on their opinion page. I am requesting the moderators/admins to kindly reconsider this revert, and kindly communicate with me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parlebourbon3 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Edward Kasner

message: I was reading this article about 'googol' and I found some confusing data about Milton Sirotta. In this article his birth is dated to 1911; however, on the other page of wiki the following text was found:
"The term was coined in 1938[1] by 9-year-old Milton Sirotta (1929–1981), nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. Kasner popularized the concept in his book Mathematics and the Imagination (1940)."
I think 1929 is the correct one and I suggest you to fix the text.

message: I have the feeling this article doesn't quite match the standards of other wikipedia articles. I would love to clean up this article myself, but I have no knowledge of mathematical history, let alone on Edward Kasner!

replies: text: Your highly pedantic comments fail to improve the article.

message: Danny, When the Talmud states explicitly that something is a tradition, it usually does not mean that the tradition derived from logical deduction.

thread_title:  Pilots 

message: From the article:
"Hula Hoops are either known as crisps, potato snacks, or simply "those little round things that you can eat". Interesting to note that due to a legal battle with the makers of crisps, KP are no longer allowed to call their potato-based snack 'crisps', this led to the removal of KP's website whilst they make the necessary changes. So just to confirm, they aren't crisps, at all."
This is written in a rather unencyclopedic manner, and also seems unverifiable, as I don't think you can sue for the use of a slang term in your advertising. Perhaps someone could fix this up?

Talk:Castor Oyl

message: From recent edits, there seems to be a difference of opinion as to if the article should be redirected. Please note that at present, the information here is NOT all duplicated at the "Popeye" article. Personally I'd tend to leave the article here; some people may think that newspaper cartoon characters are quite trival, but I don't see that the article does any harm. Alternatively, if it decided to redirect, I'd rather have a Thimble Theater article created first (Thimble Theater currently redirects to "Popeye". Thimble Theater starting the Oyl siblings was certainly one of the best comic strips of the 1920s from what I've seen of it. The TT article could deal with the dozen years before it was renamed "Popeye" after the late appearing character. Castor Oyl became a much less important character after the strip became "Popeye". Alternatively, this could be redirected to E.C. Segar, which could be expanded to list his character creations other than Popeye. However I think leaving the article is, at present, a simple and appropriate option. -- Infrogmation 18:44, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Amen. With one suggestion: If one really hates small articles, IMO the best redirect would be to Olive Oyl, which can collect the whole Oyl family. But hey, before redirecting, make sure to move information. mikka (t) 18:57, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Kagome lattice

message: This was the original content:
"The Japanese word kagome has become popular with the magnetism community in discussing the lattice structure of geometrical spin frustration. One might guess that this word is the name of some Japanese scientist. But kagome means a bamboo-basket (kago) woven pattern (me) that is composed of interlaced triangles whose lattice points each have four neighboring points".

thread_title: Cleaning up Guernica

message: I'd like to humbly find a channel to introduce the arguable danger that Quino's Mafalda strips represent to young naive people who may be atracted by the innocent childish appearance of the strip in contrast with the political seriousness and danger of the messages, as a temptation to a subversive attitude in societies controlled by brutal authoritarian regimes which use torture, assassination and other damages against these young people, justified by labelling them as subversives, communists, leftists, public enemies etc and even using them as the regime legitimation and propaganda?
I'd propose a comparison of Mafalda strips to a subtle version of recruitment and exposure of youth by regimes such as Nazism, Stalinism and Jihadist terrorism, which convince young people to fight for a cause and use them as 'cannon fodder'. Isn't it perhaps convenient, simplistic and irresponsible?
I'd propose the question, isn't it easy to convey simplistic ideological messages and meanings to these young people, instead of conveying constructive messages of human spiritual beauty and thus instead of creating conflict, contributing to a more humane social environment? Like for example maybe Peanuts strips? HM7Me (talk) 01:32, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

message: The second paragraph is almost entirely opinion and speculation.  I think it either needs to be recast more objectively or deleted.  While happen to agree with a few of those opinions, that's just my opinion.  While I don't want to be overly critical of the work that's been put into the article, I think the entire section and the article itself contains too much conjecture presented as fact.

Template talk:Detroit TV

message: I live right on the Detroit River, and I am able to get WEWS and WKYC from Cleveland, even though I cannot get local channel WDIV.  Prior to digital, the furthest station I could watch was in Toledo.  I recommend adding Cleveland to the "Distant Stations" that can be viewed in this area. 24.57.210.141 (talk) 09:56, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahhh... the Cleveland stations... You and I are only recieving WKYC and WEWS due to lake enhancement from the warm weather, and partly from tropospheric skip (bouncing off the atmosphere).  The signals are bouncing off the lake and atmosphere, travelling the 93 miles from Parma, Ohio to Windsor, Ontario.  However, These stations are not year-round (or even all-day) stations, and will probably disappear in the winter, and even during the midday hours during the summer, thanks to solar radiation.  The only Cleveland station still listed in the Windsor-area TV Guide is WUAB 43.1, and that is only for Leamington (it broadcasts on UHF 28, and WCMZ from Flint is on that frequency, and reaches Windsor).  I would only add stations that are available on cable television... but even then, WUAB isn't available on cable anymore outside of London, Ontario.  Think of the cleveland stations as "summer visitors", but never as "permanent residents", like Detroit and some of the Toledo stations.  WKYC-TV 3.1/3.2 has a strong directional null towards Windsor/Detroit, but is at 868 kW on UHF 17.  WEWS-TV is omnidirectional, and broadcasts on UHF 15 at 1000 kW.  The only other cleveland stations I've ever seen are WVPX-TV 23.1/23.2/23.3 (identical to WPXD-TV), and WDLI-TV (17.1/17.2/17.3/17.4/17.5).  I don't even think that Leamington-area viewers retain the cleveland stations during the winter. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 02:30, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Slide calculator

message: Does anyone know how one of these works?  If so, would that be something worthwhile to add to the article?  JYolkowski // talk 02:16, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, I have one.  It's hard to describe, so I hope I'm clear; it may help to look at the photo of the Addiator while you read this.  To add a given number, you go to the column representing each digit's place value, and put the stylus in the hole corresponding to that digit.  Then you pull downward, and the hole (along with the metal strip containing it) slides downward until you hit a barrier at zero, by which time you have slid the strip by the appropriate amount.  If you cannot get all the way down, it's because the digit in the current place value has exceeded 9; in that case you do a "carry maneuver", which involves pushing the stylus in the hole all the way upward until it reaches a half-circular groove that literally carries the stylus into the next-higher place value, where you can move the latter downward one digit.  So, suppose you want to add 8 when the machine is already showing a value of 5.  You pull downward, but you find that you can't get to the bottom, so you have to do a carry.  You push all the way up to the top (which would involve going only two digits upward because you started at 8 out of 10), then follow the half-circle groove to the 10s position and push it down one slot.  The effect is to subtract 2 and add 10, which is the same as adding 8.  Multi-digit numbers are added simply by repeating this procedure for each digit.  --Doradus 05:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
