message: I only have one album, so I'm not sure if it is indicitive of all their music. But they only have 2 or 3 really truly ska-punk songs on the album, and the rest have some minor ska influence. I'd actually say it leans closer to hardcore punk (listen to the drums most of all), with ska influence. What do ya'll think?

Talk:Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

message: It's not my piece (so not my place) to add or subtract, but Lennon is on record as hating this song, and being embarrassed by every facet of it, which he regarded as a classic example of McCartney's vapid pop-ism. Those involved might want to check this out. Nor was the song a joint venture, in any sense. I understand from various online sources that McCartney bulldozed it through against Lennon's wishes. Hanoi Road (talk) 20:12, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Well, it is your place (it's everyone's place) to edit the article, as long as any additions are supported by reliable sources. But to echo Sundayclose's point, Lennon's dislike is covered in the article. Not just the bald statement in the lead section, but with the recollections and description that appear under Recording. I think the bulldozing idea comes through also, especially through mentions of McCartney forcing the others to remake the track, twice. JG66 (talk) 03:20, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Quoting myself here. JG66 undid my edit, to which I replied:
"I'm not sure why you undid my change adding the tidbit that Marmalade changed the "bra" into a "woah". I could have simply added the sentence with no source, but I felt I should look for one because it would look better in the article. Ultimately it's one of those things that don't really need to be sourced. Do I need to come up with a reliable source for the sentence "the grass is green"? Anyone can listen to the Marmalade cover version and hear it for themselves, it's not exactly subtle."
I doubt anyone is going to care about this, but I felt it was worth noting. It is the kind of trivia I would be looking for if I didn't know about it. Jules TH 16 (talk) 16:02, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

message: Footnote "nb 2" at the end of the paragraph about Happy Mondays has this sentence plus footnotes: "Music fans and several critics and DJs said that "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" appeared to be the inspiration for the Offspring's 1999 single "Why Don't You Get a Job?", due to the similarity between the two songs." If the intent was to point out a similar case with the Happy Mondays song, I'm not sure this footnote makes it clear, as opposed to including the sentence about the Offspring's song directly in the paragraph.

"In the United Kingdom, if trading as a sole trader or partnership under a name other than that of the owner(s), the names of the owner(s) and an address for each must be displayed.

thread_title: Examples

message: What does "homomorphisms from the sheaf to itself" mean? Is this referring to sections? - Gauge 07:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, by definition a homomorphism of sheaves is a homomorphism of all groups of sections fitting together under restriction maps. In this case the homomorphisms constituting the partition of unity map a section s over some open U to f_i(x)·s, where the sum of the f_i is 1 at every point and f_i is zero outside some U_i. Jakob.scholbach 02:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: I had been under the impression that the reason flasque sheaves were called upon is because flasque resolutions are easier to compute than injective resolutions. Are flasque sheaves really useless? —vivacissamamente 14:07, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, not at all. Your impression is absolutely correct. For example cohomology (in the sheaf-theoretic sense) of a manifold with ℝ-coefficients is defined by injective resolutions, which are hard to get your hands on. But there is a fine resolution, consisting of smooth differential forms, so the cohomology can be computed using global sections of the smooth de Rham complex. Similar examples exist for flasque sheaves: skyscraper sheaves are flasque and come in quite handy, for example when proving the Riemann-Roch theorem. Jakob.scholbach 02:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cheapass Games

message: I took out this bit :
:Cheapass Games variously include also tend to have two of the following: integrated themes and mechanics, innovative game concepts, or a slightly off kilter humor. For example, Diceland is a dice game that involves physical coordination, strategy, and tactical skill with very little humor.  The Devil Bunny series on the other hand are not particularlly innovative, but have similiar mechanics and humorus sensibilities.

Talk:Riesz–Fischer theorem

message: In the interest of un-stubbing this article, I ask others to include in it any applications of the Riesz-Fischer theorem.  I will do the same. NatusRoma 21:16, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

message: In Kolmogorov and Fomin, Introductory Real Analysis, , page 153 says the following:
Given a Euclidean space R, let {φk} be an orthonormal (but not necessarily complete) system in R. It follows from Bessel's inequality that a necessary condition for the numbers c1,c2,…ck,… to be Fourier coefficients of an element f ∈ R is that the series
:\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k^2
converge. It turns out that this condition is also sufficient if R is complete, as shown by
:Theorem 9 (Riesz-Fischer). Given an orthonormal system {φk} in a complete Euclidean space R, let the numbers c1,c2,…ck,… be such that
::\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k^2
:converges. Then there exists an element f ∈ R with c1,c2,…ck,… as its Fourier coefficients, i.e., such that
::\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k^2 = \lVert f \rVert^2
:where
::c_k = (f,\phi_k) \quad\quad (k = 1,2,3,\ldots).
This suggests that the edit changing "converges uniformly" to merely "converges" is correct. --KSmrqT 07:02, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you very much. NatusRoma 08:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

text: You're right. Before, it said, "converges uniformly in the space L2". I suppose that I should have given more context to the change when quoting it. NatusRoma 21:57, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

text: \sum \|x_n\| < \infty

Talk:Ham and cheese sandwich

message: I did what I could with this page. Not sure what else to add... — RJH 21:47, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Oddly enough, I've been looking at some 1870s-1920s cookbooks at Project Gutenberg and can't find ham and cheese sandwiches. Ham sandwiches, cheese sandwiches, but no ham and cheese. Quite a few references to "nut sandwiches" and "salad-and-nut" sandwiches. One reference that says that peanut butter has a "peculiar" consistency and should be moistened for sandwiches by adding "salad dressing" to it... no ham and cheese.
A fairly typical reference:
:The luncheon put up for school-children may consist chiefly of sandwiches, preferably several small ones of different kinds, rather than one or two large ones. Biscuit sandwiches are generally more palatable to a child than plain bread ones. Besides those made of cold meat, there should be at least one cheese or one salad-and-nut sandwich, and one jelly sandwich. A hard-boiled egg, preferably one that has been cooked for some time in water kept under boiling point, will vary this diet. Of course fruit, such as an apple, an orange, or a banana, forms the best dessert. Occasionally cake, gingerbread, sweet biscuit, or a piece of milk chocolate may be put in the basket for a pleasant surprise.

Talk:Alive in Athens

message: One thing I've noticed is that on the Alive in Athens releases (Both CD and Vinyl, I'm excluding the Tape releases since I know nothing of them), a couple song titles are truncated or abridged, probably due to space constraints on the packaging. From what I've seen, it's only "The Path I Choose" turning into "Path I Choose" (CD & Vinyl) and "A Question of Heaven" turning into "Question" (Vinyl only). One interesting thing I did see was that on the Vinyl edition of Alive in Athens, Angels Holocaust is printed as "Angel's Holocaust", which seems to be the only place that the apostrophe is included. The apostrophe isn't included on the CD issue of Alive in Athens or any of the CD issues of Night of the Stormrider (Including the Dark Genesis box set).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xbskid (talk • contribs) 15:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
