thread_title: Blanc de blancs: Error

message: When de-labeling beer bottles for re use in homebrewing, I have found that a percabonate based cleanser such as B-Brite dissolves the glue on most bottles and lets the label slide off. A soak process like this may be undesirable for collectors, but it may also work if the solution is sponged on with a swab.
While I know this will take labels off, I don't recall or never noticed how well they were preserved or if they could be dried flat without any damage or disfigurement, so I hesitate to put this out on the article. -MalkavianX 18:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following text from the article:Robert Bianco of USA Today appears to confirm this by noting "[Raines] was nice while it lasted" and that "It wasn't a perfect show, but it was an interesting one, even if it never seemed to stir up much interest within its own network.":: Bianco, Robert. "What to watch this weekend", USA Today, April 27, 2007. Retrieved on April 27, 2007. Robert Bianco is a journalist, not a studio executive, so he is in no position to "confirm" anything. The statement is sourced, but since USA Today has nothing to do with whether a TV show will be cancelled or not, it's not a reliable source for this purpose, and the quote is irrelevant.

message: C=1010_2 in the example does not give rise to a finite field, because x^4+x^3+x is not irreducible modulo 2. As a consequence the low-order bit of k_1 and k_2 will always be 0.

Talk:Yazid ibn Abi Sufyan

message: I am utterly confused by the passage "The result was an utter debacle for the Romans at the Battle of Tabuk." Waqidi mentions Tabouk as where Yazid's ambush took place. It could be that this is the Battle of Tabouk, which also turned out into a loss for the Byzantines. However, then we've got Holland saying that the ambush took place "12 miles east of Gaza", which is not even near Tabouk. What is also odd, is Waqidi describing Abu Bakr as "Khalifah of Rasulullah" (p. 12), so the ambush should have taken place after Muhammad, while we know that the Battle of Tabouk took place during Muhammad's lifetime. Were there two Battles of Tabouk? - HyperGaruda (talk) 10:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
