Talk:Sewanee: The University of the South

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: no consensus.
We have 3 editors (including the proposer) supporting a move per WP:COMMONNAME and 3 editors opposing per WP:NATURAL, so there is no consensus for the proposed move.  There are also 3 editors supporting an alternative move  →  with  → .  That move would be procedurally incorrect per WP:RMCI: A move request about moving X to Y should never be closed in such a way as to require page Z to move if Z wasn't listed in the original move request.  In any case, it isn't clear whether there's a consensus for that move.  As this RM has closed with no consensus, a fresh RM may be presented for the alternative proposal, including both pages, if editors consider this would be a desirable move.

replies: text: Sewanee: The University of the South →  – WP:COMMONNAME. The current name is redundant and stilted (and probably fails WP:THE). Except for very few formal contexts, the university is typically referred to by one name or the other, not both at the same time. All three people who commented on the previous RM two and a half years ago said that the common name is simply "Sewanee". As commented in 2010, "Sewanee" even appears on the university's diplomas. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:20, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

message: Is the Sewanee News alumni magazine still around?  I'm reading a copy of it on Internet Archive from 1978 and it's quite good.  It's amazing what a difference it can make when a school has a literary tradition to uphold.  Most old magazines from 1978 are barely readable today, but this stands out and passes the test of time. If it is still around, maybe mention it in the article in the alumni section? Other university articles, such as Stanford, mention the alumni magazines. Viriditas (talk) 22:33, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hot Topic

message: Hello everyone, I will be editing the article this week to include some information about the Hot Topic Foundation. Just wanted to let you all know! Kylee Truoccolo (talk) 23:25, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello. Thanks for starting a discussion on the talk page. I'm sorry I didn't notice this sooner. Because Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion, we need to make sure any such information is explained appropriately. The best way to do that is by citing reliable sources. These sources will almost certainly also be independent sources. Press releases and Hot Topic's own website are only of limited use for this. Corporate donations are not likely to be significant without a good reason. This reason would have to be supported by a reliable source. That context could, potentially, be included in the article. Without such a source, it is too routine to be worth mentioning. Grayfell (talk) 04:07, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:List of United States Presidents by height order

message: Aren't centimeters (or centimetres as i would more naturally call them) deprecated in SI? Shouldn't SI normally use meters or millimeters? --rossb 00:07, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, yes, we 'murricans deprecate them metric numbers all the time. Wha-haha. :P Um, anyway, if you say so, absolutely, but I think they teach us in school that centimeters are closest to inches, and that's what's marked out on the opposite sides of our rulers (inch markings on side [divided by 8 or 16], centimeters on the other [divided by 10]), so I think that's what 'murricans gravitate to when converting to metric. Anyway, forgive my total stupidity on this, but would Lincoln's 192 cm be 1.92 meters? If so, shouldn't be to hard to swap over. jengod 01:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Centimeters are most definitely not deprecated in SI - any prefixed value of meters is perfectly acceptable. In common usage, of course, some are less used than others (dekameters  or hectometers, for example), but they are still allowed. Centimeters is very commonly used for measuring people's height - and, as jengod points out, converting between cm and m is trivial... So, IMO, quoting their heights in m or cm is both equally good. — QuantumEleven | (talk) 09:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Centimeters or millimeters?

message: The accompanying chart  has a couple of issues. First, it seems inappropriate to list only metric units, when the US clearly does not widely use them in this context (don't worry, I'm pro-metric, but I'm also pro-context on Wikipedia). Listing by centimeters also seems a bit dodgy if we don't have top-notch sources for historical metric heights, whereas using inches at least conforms us in WP:V. Second, the chart does not conform with the official presidential numbering, where Grover Cleveland is both 22nd and 24th. It's widely known that Bush is "43" to his dad's "41", so having them as 42 and 40 is potentially confusing. (Wikipedia conforms with the official numbering, although some reference works do not.) Finally, the chart can't be right if the numbers in the article are correct, as the chart shows an upward progression from Reagan to Bush to Clinton, but Clinton was between his two predecessors' heights. --Dhartung | Talk 02:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

message: This list is weird. Why do we need to sort presidents by height? How useful is this information? Should we sort them by weight too?

Talk:Edwin Booth

message: Is there any truth in the story that he saved Robert Licoln from getting ron over by a train? I've heard this story on a few websites, as well as on the TV show "Beyond Belief". --SMWhat 08:28, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The photo at the top of this page of Edwin Booth is most assuredly not that of Edwin Booth, but that of his elder brother, Junius Brutus Booth, Junior.  I have notified the Library of Congress, which is the source of this mistake, where the photo in question is indeed labled "Edwin Booth," and leave it to them to make the correction.  One bit of supporting proof is that, if you go to their catalogue which this photo will lead you to, an adjacent photo that is unquestionalbly that of Edwin Booth is labled "Edwin Booth?" - which suggests that the librarian saw these two photos adjacent and, realizing they're not the same person, questioned the true photo of Edwin Booth, leaving the wrong photo wrongly labled.  I admit its confusing: both gentlemen have the "Booth nose" of their father (accounting for the fact that the father's nose was broken!), but a careful comparison of the eyelids, and especially the ears, shows the distinction. 
I'm leaving this photo on the Booth page so that others of you, familiar with the Booth family photos, can assist in this sleuthing.

message: I was looking at the Pa'ao legends and they say that Pa'ao's brother killed Pa'ao's son, and that Pa'ao then retaliated. I think that you could call this a feud, rather than murder. So I dropped the reference to murder and also the name of the brother, which seems an unnecessary detail.

message: Much of the discussion under Historicity is entirely unsourced.  In particular - and most egregiously - the statement " Academic historians and archaeologists have now abandoned the two migrations theory." was unsupported when written and remains unsourced a full six years later.

Either source it or in 30 days I will remove it and the entire preceding paragraph.  CTLandman (talk) 05:11, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:False negative

message: I dont mind the term condition, but there are situations where that phrase would not be as apporpriate as singal.  Condition also sounds like a disease or state of body instead of a state of reality.  If there are better terms then signal or condition let me know, im checking some dictionary definitions of false negative/positive to find the best word. --ShaunMacPherson 10:56, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  "condition"

message: There has been a simple error of juxtaposition here which I have corrected. False negative (the error of rejecting something that should have been accepted) is a type I error. False positive (the error of accepting something that should have been rejected) is a type II error. See, for example, Moulton, R.T., "Network Security", Datamation, Vol.29, No.7, (July 1983), pp.121-127:
:The appropriate access control device may be difficult for the user to define. It must be capable of rejecting imposters while having a minimal rate of rejecting authorized users (Type I error). It must also have a high rate of accepting authorized users and a low rate of accepting imposters (Type II error).
I have also adjusted the redirections so that now has type I error to False negative; and Type II error to false positive. Once my piece on Four types of error is finished, and it will be finished very soon, the entire issue will be very plainLindsay658 08:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
