message: Cirt stopped editing in April 2016, about 8 months ago.  That leaves  as sole FPo director, although as there has been no promotion or archiving of WP:FPOC nominations since March, nor any activity at WP:FPR either (there's one nomination there open for 20 months with no activity since June 2015!), there seems to be no need for any FPo directors since the featured portals process is dead. The portal peer review system is also dead. Shall we just tag the process as , like the featured sounds project, and move on? BencherliteTalk 00:55, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name change May 7, 2017 

message: There is two bus connections that makes me think if they should be there
329 Dufferin
384 Sheppard West
For me a connection from a subway station to a bus, streetcar, LRT, horses, etc...I translate it as either the bus bay in the station, which Sheppard West station has and I used that bus bay to switch buses to go to college, the Blue night network (300-396 routes) are active when the subway is not. So technically speaking there is NO connection between 329 & 384 and Sheppard West station. Same applies to all other BNN buses/streetcars, they might pass nearby subway stations but the BNN buses/streetcars are never active at the same time as the subway system. So in a way...the is no connection. What do people think? I don't want to erase the two numbers, and in other stations without talk to others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MiroslavGlavic (talk • contribs) 16:40, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: I see your point, too, but I think it's useful in terms of if people are used to taking the subway/streetcars/etc, then knowing what BNN service gets them to (or from) the same place is probably quite useful.

Talk:Dedekind eta function

message: The general modular transformation gives the eta function an argument z on the r.h.s., \tau would be more readable. (anon poster Dec 2005)
:Yes that's a typo, now fixed linas 23:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but that's the standard notation. Besides, ad-bc=1 so the four args aren't independent anyway. linas 23:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Typo/question

message: I think the definition of eta shown here was wrong and instead of q^(1/24) it should be exp(i pi tau / 12) as I've made it. If the latter expression was implied in the first place, then that should be mentioned since the two expressions are ordinarily different.
The former expression, q^(1/24) led to some problems:
1. Take tau=1/2 + i * sqrt(3)/2. Then -1/tau = -1/2 + i * sqrt(3/2) = tau - 1.
Note that q corresponding to that tau is -exp(-pi*sqrt(3)), while the q corresponding to -1/tau = tau - 1 is the exact same value.
Thus the Dedekind eta function has the same value at both tau and -1/tau.
But then the functional equation says that eta(-1/tau) = sqrt(-i*tau) * eta(tau), i.e. 1 = sqrt(-i*tau). This is incorrect.
1 is not the square root of (-i/2 + sqrt(3)/2).
2.
Another problem is when tau = -1/2 + 0.01i, then eta(tau+1) = eta(tau) and the exp(i pi/12) factor couldn't be correct.
Doubledork (talk) 23:02, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Strictly speaking, if the Dedekind eta function is seen as the 24th root of \tfrac{\Delta}{(2\pi)^{12}}, the numerator being the  modular discriminant, then the old definition was still correct. One can validly affix the appropriate 24th root of unity to \eta({\tau}) so it can distinguish \tau=\tfrac{1 + \sqrt{-3}}{2} from \tau = \tfrac{-1 + \sqrt{-3}}{2}. However, for the sake of clarity, it does seem reasonable to use e^{\frac{\pi i \tau}{12}} instead of q^{1/24}, and I have made the necessary changes.Titus III (talk) 16:01, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: 96X

message: I've removed the section "Past and present personalities" from the article because there were no sources providing in support and thus no way to verify that any of those listed were connected to the station or in what capacity they were connected. There's nothing wrong with re-adding a version of the section, but some sort of common selection criteria should be established for inclusion. Simply adding the name of anyone who once was a DJ at the station is not really the way to go. Only those who are notable enough for their own Wikipedia article, or perhaps received coverage in secondary reliable sources probably are worth mentioning. Also, the list should be used to publicize/promote the station's current line-up per :WP:NOTPROMOTION. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:38, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Microtechnology

message: What exactly is the difference between Microtech and Nanotech?  Is Nanotech really 1000x smaller, and better than Microtech?
nano tech is more about producing object at a molecular level which take advantages of molecular effects, this can be used to generate selfcleaning coatings, or molecule sized machines
micro technology is more about the miniturisation of machines which use more conventional mechanincal effects.
:From reading this article it is just a question of size, whereas the correct definition is present in the unsigned comment above (nanotech= molecular technology where quantum effects start to give strange proprierties, a microchip or microarray with 100nm resolution are still microtech). This article may be of interest to a viewer to get the definitions right, so having a bad definition is not a good idea --Squidonius (talk) 13:39, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are superficial and physical definitions for technology at both scales. A physical definition for the micro scale is often where the relative strength of forces or phenomena changes due to confinement or due to scale. One example is a relative dominance of surface tension in two-phase fluid microdevices where momentum would dominate at the macro scale. The superficial definition, 1-1000 um holds where no physical scale presents itself. Tjcognata (talk) 04:52, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Dosing

message: I think this should be merged with the disambiguation page for Dose--CDN99 14:05, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I believe that the usage of these two words is widely different and hence, they require different disambiguation pages. Also, dose is not a candidate for wiktionary as an album, a magazine and a food item are named thus; Dosing in its current form deserves an article and is not a wiktionary candidate. However, it would also be a disambiguation page in its current form. We have several instances of having two disambig pages for similar words e.g. Time (disambiguation) and The Time are both disambiguation pages. A See also from each page linking to the other page makes it easy if at all someone were looking for the other page. Hence I am converting Dosing into a disambig page instead of the re-direct it is currently. --Gurubrahma 16:24, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Just putting a reminder note here, because somebody recently moved this article incorrectly despite the disambiguatory hatnote that was already on the article: CHOQ hyphen FM is a licensed FM radio station in Toronto, Ontario, while CHOQ dot FM is an unlicensed closed circuit/Internet radio station in Montreal, Quebec. They're not to be confused with each other, because they aren't the same thing. (For that matter, as an unlicensed radio station, the one in Montreal also isn't entitled to an automatic presumption of notability — while it certainly might be a valid topic for an article if real reliable sources can be added, it doesn't get to claim an automatic "because it exists" entitlement to have an article the way a conventional broadcast station does.)

message: There appear to be at least 2 errors in this section (which I do not have information to correct as yet)
One would expect the BBC radio play entries to be listed chronologically, but the first two are not. The first is dated 1998, but the BBC Light Programme was only in existence from 1945 to 1967 - so this must be a typo for a different, earlier year (a correction which I suspect would also correctly place it chronologically as the first entry).  One of the actors listed for the production died in 1966 so this also points to the error. I haven't found any details of a correct date for this production unfortunately.
The second entry is 1962 and the third 1961 - so either the second entry needs to be swapped with the third or it is also a wrong date. Or possibly the date of the third entry is also wrong. Again, I have not been able to find any data to correct these.
