Talk:Fritz Pollard

message: From the front page (April 17, 2019): "... that Fritz Pollard (pictured) became the NFL's first black quarterback in 1923, but it was not until 2017 that all 32 modern NFL teams had started at least one black quarterback?" This page never mentions him playing quarterback, only halfback in college and running back professionally. Does anyone have a source on when and for which team he played quarterback, please? 8.19.241.10 (talk) 15:27, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Biography for expansion 

message: We need a reference for this:
"Pollard, along with all nine of the black players in the NFL at the time, were removed from the league at the end of the 1926 season, never to return again."
First, the number nine is not consistent with the NFL 1927 season article (which claims five).
Second, its not clear that the NFL "removed" the black players. (Actually, it is fairly unlikely considering how independent the franchises were at the time.) If that occurred, a reference is desperately needed. The collapse of roughly 60% of the NFL and AFL franchises from 1926 provides a plausible alternative to a deliberate purge. The return of black players in 1928 also suggests this.
I am making no edits at this time. It would be nice if whoever wrote this originally could simply add a reference. 50.14.78.218 (talk) 19:06, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Fritz von Opel

message: In this article, there is a section that talks about Wernher von Braun's enthusiasm about the Opel-RAK demonstrations, stating that von Braun was 16 when these were taking place, and nearly blowing himself up with a rocket car. This comes right after the section on 1929 and rocket-powered flight, even though the article which is the source for the story of von Braun and the rocket car places the event in 1928. Could this be moved upwards to be in the area for Opel-RAK rocket cars and have added text to clarify that von Braun's event takes place in 1928? Fungustober (talk) 18:40, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ichikawa Fusae

message: I created the article at Fusaye Ichikawa in response to a redlink on a list of encyclopedic topics (I'll have to find it), not realizing that an article already existed at an alternate spelling of her name. I think there's complementary information in both articles, and that they should be merged. If there's no objection, I'll go ahead and merge the two - but we will need to determine which name is more prevalent. "Fusaye" was the name used on her citation for the Magsaysay award, but google does have Fusae used elsewhere. Thoughts? UltraExactZZ  Claims ~ Evidence  13:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Per WP:BOLD, I've merged content into this article. I'll now redirect the Fusaye Ichikawa article, and thus keep the history. If this needs to be moved to the other name, then we can do that - but I'm finding roughly equal references to the two names, so this one works.

thread_title:  biographical discrepancies with other langage versions 

message: As stated here, Mead continued in his periodical fervor for as long as he could, almost to his death in 1933, under the title, 'The Quest Quarterly,' sans Mrs. Besant.  On the other hand, the TS still needed a house organ, so Mrs. Besant encouraged the remaining Theosophists to "transfer" their subscriptions to 'The Theosophist,' eventually 'The American Theosophist,' which was published under those names for nine decades, and is now known as the 'Quest Quarterly,' still published as of this writing.  The TS has gone through various splits and schisms over its history, but all of the various organizations and factions seem to be on friendly terms these days, the more pugnacious elements having passed on from this realm. rags (talk) 04:59, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mistake 

message: "If H is normal, then H \ G is a group, and the right action of K on this group factors through the right action of H \ HK. It follows that H \ G / K = HK \ G. "
If H is the trivial group you get  G / K = K \ G, which is not true if K is not normal. I think something is wrong here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.231.159.63 (talk) 08:49, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks to me like left versus right got mixed up; we should have H \ G / K = G / HK if H is normal.  I've changed the article.  Ozob (talk) 03:55, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

text: Well, I think it's a matter of phrasing.  The article is observing that H \ G / K can be computed as (H \ G) / K, and that this is also (H \ G) / (H \ HK) = G / HK.  You are observing that the set of double cosets HgK is the same as the set of cosets gHK.  These probably amount to the same thing if you fill in every little detail.  If you think you can clarify the article, please go ahead!  Ozob (talk) 17:38, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:List of sovereign states in 1914

message: Hey, just made a big change and added appropriate flags and country names for 1914. The goal was to emulate List of Countries. Some things to note:
* The flags of Siam and Venezuela are wrong because the correct ones weren't available on Wikipedia. Siam should be a white elephant on a red field and Venezuela should have its stars in a circle.
* Liechtenstein's flag for this period was also not on Wikipedia, so I had to use the conveniently identical flag of Prague.
* The Persian flag may not be accurate.

message: Unless I am very much mistaken, self-dual codes of arbitrary characteristic exist (take any symmetric matrix, and prepend an identity matrix).

thread_title: Types of self-dual codes

message: I am rather unhappy with the definition on this page.
There are two notions of duality for codes over finite fields
(i) duality with respect to the standard symmetric dot product
x_1 y_1 + ... + x_n y_n
(ii) duality with respect to the standard sesquilinear 
dot product
x_1 y_1^* + ... + x_n y_n^*
where y |-> y^* represents the order two automorphism of
the finite field.
Type (ii) is only relevant when the order of the field
is a square.
The proposed definition reduces to (i) when q = p
and to (ii) when q = p^2. Otherwise the dual proposed here
isn't of a standard type and moreover the double dual
of a code won't in general be equal to the original code.
I may try to clarify this on the page itself.
RJChapman (talk) 15:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
