Talk:Proto-Esperanto

message: Moved page to the English name "Proto-Esperanto". Will incorporate material from Vikipedio when I have the chance. kwami 02:42, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
I would guess that plekulpa = plen-kulpa / kulp(o)-plena (full of guilt) or even plej kulpa (most guilty), either of which fits better in my humble opinion: my guilty pen becomes a tyrant...  Anton 00:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Grönwall's inequality

message: I think that User:Schmock has added too much detail in his proofs. Wikipedia is not a textbook; it is an encyclopedia, and detailed proofs don't belong, in my opinion. Proof outlines, as they existed before, are a different matter: Particularly in this case, where many textbook proofs are too involved and insufficiently general. In particular, I think that including the standard proof that having a non-positive derivative implies the function being non-increasing is going completely overboard. Well that's my opinion anyway. What do other people think? Hanche (talk) 17:53, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, I agree. I suggest that the verbose proofs be cut out. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:56, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

text: Of course, I like the current version, but I am biased here. Grönwall's inequality is a technical topic, so I think the page is allowed to be technical. The proof for the differential form is so detailed because I wanted to make clear that continuity of the derivative is not needed. While outlines are good, I also like to find complete proofs, because not everyone has the knowledge, training or time to come up with these given the outline. As long as proofs are clearly marked, everyone who wants can easily  skip them. When I am in doubt, I prefer to include more details and links than less, because I have no information about the knowledge of the reader. A complete, easy to understand proof also makes it easier to check and verify, that a given statement is correct (important for Wikipedia). Also we can search for and communicate the "best"  (whatever this means in a particular case) proof in this way, which is something of value beyond the correct mathematical statement. References to good textbook proofs (of Grönwall's inequality for this article) are welcome and faster to include in Wikipedia than full proofs. However, not everyone has easy access to a mathematical library. How about adding applications of Grönwall's inequality to this article?  Schmock (talk) 00:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think applications are very important indeed. Perhaps the detailed proofs could be relegated to the end of the article, in a sort-of-appendix, and put the applications before that. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Too much detail in the proofs 

message: I believe that the additional assumption of continuity on the measure  \mu 
is needed. That seems to be implicit in the proof provided as can be seen in the zero contribution of the integral along diagonals.

message: Removed:
He is one of the mathematicians who completed the proof of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture. 
Redundant since that was the same act as completing the proof of the FLT.  Granted, T-S is more general, but that should be covered in the FLT article. Mark Foskey 02:44, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Glaze

message: These topics on glazes should be separated into three different articles -- and have a disambiguation page to go to each. As it is, you can't travel to other languages (unless for some reason, it's a language that uses the same word for all three of these techniques, as in English).
:Agreed.  I've long since prepared to do this for the pottery section.  However, without expansion of the cooking definition, I'm afraid that stub page would end up deleted.  It would be good to add more substance to all three topics before dividing them up.  WBardwin 22:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Bridewell Palace

message: Bridewell Palace is shown on a map of London in 1300 which I am going to add to the History of London article, so Henry VIII presumably rebuilt an earlier palace (most of his palaces were rebuilds), but I can't readily find details on the net. CalJW 03:38, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wikiproject Prisons 

message: Whilst not denying that the building was originally a palace, would not the much more widespread term Bridewell be more appropriate for this article? It is the term more commonly used both in the history of prisons and of mental institutions and can more easily stretch to all of its different incarnations. Chris55 (talk) 17:18, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The picture included of the Prospect of Bridewell is also used on the Clerkenwell Bridewell page, which is a different prison than this original Bridewell Palace prison.

Talk:Cleansing (album)

message: Cleansing should be a disambiguation page (ethnic cleansing, cleanliness, and the Prong album) but it is only an article on the Prong album.  Cleansing (album) is a redirect to Prong.  This article needs to be moved to Cleansing (album) so it is no longer a redirect and so Cleansing can be made a disambiguation page. KleenupKrew 00:33, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Biography/Assessment#Class_parameter|Biography assessment rating]] comment 

message: Wiki entry doesn't match the MWwG source. According to the Macho Women page, Richard Tucholka is listed under the women characters, even though they say he is indeed not a woman.
Under Macho Women, their page says: " Richard Tucholka (U/u): Obscure game designer Richard Tucholka is not a woman, but he's so incredibly macho he belonged here, among a gaggle of babes that are, collectively, barely enough to satisfy his manly appetites. "

message: The following was pulled from this article:
::Tucholka has been called "one of the unsung heroes of Role Playing"; he was also voted "One of the Good Guys" by Knights of the Dinner Table and called "Michigan's Gaming Guru".
This was pulled because the person wanted a citation. O-Kay, one of the cites, the one by the Knights of the Dinner Table, should be findable, but the others are probably from conventions where Richard was a guest of honor or in the con program book. Because of that, it's next to impossible to find a citation for them. I know this stuff is supposed to be verifiable, but how do you do that for a introduction speech at a con or testimonial dinner?Kedamono 02:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

That's crazy. That means you're going to miss half of the history of anyone because no one wrote down a quote that was said about them or by them.

message: May I suggest merging National Wildlife Magazine to this article?  It doesn't appear to be notable enough for its own article, though it does seem worth mentioning here.  Thanks, MuffledThud (talk) 14:08, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  National Wildlife Magazine 

message: This article reads like a promotional piece that is handed out to prospective members and donors or included in the NWF's annual report.  It's excellent as far as it goes, very informative and well written, but article should have neutral information about any criticisms,  controversies and problems the organization has faced over its long history.  There is too much detail here that may need regular updating to be kept current and accurate -- the NWF's website is a vastly superior source for this information.

Talk:Dollar sign

message: Per this merge discussion,  is to be merged into this article. The discusion has a "Merge done" note by  . But I don't think the merge is "complete". First of all, cifrão is defined diferent from (more specific than) the dollar sign. This distinction should be explicit, and more prominent: in the lede (bolded name added), present in the TOC, and throughout in the prose. However, current text repeatedly states that they are the same. DePiep (talk) 14:57, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: My reading of the discussion at Talk:Cifrão#Merge with dollar sign any difference of the terms was contentious. Certainly there are two glyphs, but what to call them in English is discussed in Dollar sign#One stroke vs. two strokes. If you think that the lede is inconsistent with the body, then please do change it in the usual way. That is, the merge is complete, but improving the article never ends! Klbrain (talk) 04:54, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes that's what the talkpage discussion says—for being mergeable. But the cifrão article, and real life sources, say that cifrão is defined distinctly. So that should be incorporated into this article, from top to bottom (eg, dedicated section for starters). So not just lede inconsistent, I say that current body is inconsistent with cifrão article content. DePiep (talk) 06:10, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: FYI, the cifrão (=double barred) is defined to be the currency sign in places, explicitly not the single-barred one. I propose you revisit the merged page, and incorporate those texts into this article. Or others can do that. (Unless you oppose this notion altogether, in that case I'd ask you to explain why it's irrelevant). -DePiep (talk) 08:01, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge incomplete 

message: From the current version of the article: "It is still uncertain, however, how the dollar sign came to represent the Spanish American peso. There are currently several competing hypotheses:" Having looked at the citations, the "peso abbreviation" theory seems to be the most properly cited, and the only one with RSes that have actual evidence.

Talk:Central Directorate of Public Security

message: The article referred to the Directorate as the "uniformed branch" of the French National Police, but then went on to say that it includes plainclothes officers. I resolved this contradiction by changing "uniformed" to "patrol and response", which is how the directorate is described in the main FNP article. ---Isaac R 05:50, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough, although I should point out that this is not always appropriate. In the British police, for instance, the Uniformed Branch does include plainclothes officers (such as the Royalty Protection officers), in contrast to the Criminal Investigation Department, who are specialist detectives. It may sound like a contradiction, but it's the case. I don't know whether this also holds true in the French police. -- Necrothesp 14:02, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting example. Question is, "Uniformed Branch" an official title, or law enforcement professional jargon? The article you point to doesn't answer that question, but I seem to recall that it's an official title. If that's true, then your example isn't applicable since "Uniformed" is not part of the official title of the DCSP. On the other hand, if law enforcement officials conventionally refer to this kind of organization as a "uniformed branch" even when it has non-uniformed personnel, I should maybe change the reference back. ---Isaac R 16:21, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
