Talk:Rijndael

message: Probably shouldn't go in the article, but I've heard from a reliable source that it was going to be called Rijndaem but was changed to Rijndael as the first name was used by a mental institution (googling about I presume this was  Rijndam Rehabilitation in Rotterdam). --Imran 13:18, 16 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Rijndael redirects to AES. AES is a special case of Rijndael, and I don't believe the redirect should blindly occur. For example Rijndael can use a 32-byte block size while AES is fixed at 16-bytes. From cs.ucsb.edu/~koc/cs178/docs/rijndael.pdf: "Rijndael is an iterated block cipher with a variable block length and a variable key length. The block length and the key length can be independently specified to 128, 192 or 256 bits." I believe PHP Mcrypt has a 32-byte block size implementation of Rijndael.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article Politics of Newfoundland and Labrador refers to the political parties of NL as largely populist as opposed to ideological. Under Danny Williams, ideology was largely abandonded as government grew, new government programs were created, and all actions were justified with a regional form of nationalism. The PC Party has also positioned itself to the left of the federal Conservatives. For these reasons, the party's ideologies should be populist and nationalist.

text: That's a common misconception, which is actively spread by a few fallacious self-styled Tolkien 'scholars'. No version of the term "Age of the Sun" appears anywhere in Tolkien's writings. There were "Years of the Sun", starting with the first sunrise towards the end of the First Age... but the 'Ages' themselves were consistently referred to as "Ages of the Children of Iluvatar" (starting with the Awakening of the Elves) other than a handful of earlier forms/variations (e.g. 'Ages of the Stars'... because when Varda caused the stars to appear that was what triggered the Awakening of the Elves). Similarly, the First Age is repeatedly stated to be the longest of the three in Tolkien's stories... because, despite containing far fewer 'Years of the Sun', it had begun long before the Sun ever rose. --CBD 11:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Glossary of Riemannian and metric geometry

message: This glossary is almost entirely useless to an untrained reader (like myself).  Perhaps a glossary isn't the place to explain to a novice what, say, conjugate points are, but insofar as Wikipedia is a general—rather than discipline-specific—encyclopedia, there needs to be some way to present these concepts and actually explain them in terms other than their purely mathematical qualities.

message: Do not link indirectly to this glossary as in Jacobi field. Rather, link verbatim to where you want to go. In this case to Jacobi field. Then create a redirect from the Jacobi field page to this glossary. This has two principal advantages:
# There may be a large number of broken links to Jacobi field elsewhere in Wikipedia. By creating a redirect page, you fix them all at once.
# If someone comes along later wants to write a real article about Jacobi fields they can just replace the redirect and there are no links to fix.

Done. Feel like writing the article on Petrus Severinus? <G> - Nunh-huh 03:54, 14 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Here's one reason we need to use in-line citations more: there is a disagreement in the sources about the sequence of events, & the motivations, concerning the Ecthesis, Severinus, & the Exarch Isaac.
The story according to the Liber Pontificalis was that Maurice & Isaac were tasked with getting Severinus to sign the Ecthesis, & while doing so they looted the Lateran. (BTW, this is an unusual strategy to convince anyone to endorse a controversial document -- "Let's rob the Pope. That'll convince him to obey the Emperor & sign this document!") However, the LP is a biassed source who authors not infrequently get details, motivations, & the chronology of the papal reigns wrong. Although its version of the story should be mentioned, we need a reliable secondary source to help interpret it. Turning to Jeffrey Richards, the papal envoys were the only ones who dealt with the matter of papal approval of the Ecthesis: Maurice & Isaac plundered the Lateran out of simple greed (or because the central government was not providing sufficient funds to work with, which I gather was not unusual for the Exarchate), & Severinus made no decision on the document before his death. 
Now we come to what the article says, & I was unable to identify its sources for the following. Before I made changes, not only did the article follow the account of the LP, it adds a synod where the Ecthesis was rejected. Richards dates this synod to the tenure of Severinus' successor, John IV. As for the sources used, the Catholic Encyclopedia article is only a short paragraph, & states Severinus professed "as in Christ there were two natures so also were there in Him two wills and two natural operations" -- on one hand implying that he rejected the Ecthesis, but on the other not saying that Severinus actually sent a response to Constantinople. (The Catholic Encyclopedia frequently fudges on facts to preserve the impression that its leaders were infallible, & above human imperfections -- & needs to be used with that POV in mind.) Maybe the article's version came from Maxwell-Stewart's book, but the reference points only to one page in that book. And perhaps that source was used in the same manner as Horace Mann's book below it -- to support statements unrelated to the central story -- so there is no way to know for certain where the account in this article came from. Which is why I may end up removing this version of events, & replacing it with an account based on what the LP states & Richard's interpretation. -- llywrch (talk) 19:59, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

message: All of the above are deserving of their own respective articles, explaining in depth what each term means depending on the tradition. The redirect of roshi and Zen master to this article "Zen teacher" is rather inexcusable in my opinion, and lacking in scholarly analysis at that. In fact, the term Zen teacher doesn't mean much of anything. With all of the masters and others we have linked to this article, these terms should be number one in priority (imo). I will contemplate creating a Zen task force at WikiProject Buddhism, and will try to discuss a way we may collaborate on this effort and get it right. I'm thinking if we assign volunteers to work on particular denominations and the meaning of terms in each article body that the result will be very good.
