message: I have heard a story that the hole in the dome had to be moved when it was discovered that the ray would miss the cenotaph at noon on 16 December; original calulations had forgotten either that the longitude of the monument was not exactly 30°E or the equation of time, and so the sun would not be due south at 12:00 (GMT+2).

message: A few days ago, an IP added the following opinion to the History section of the article:
:"It was described, by the English playwright, novelist and screen-writer Keith Waterhouse, as “surely the most vulgar memorial ever constructed by man”, in his memoir Streets Ahead (Hodder and Stoughton, 1995)."
I've removed it and placed it here because it doesn't fit in anywhere in the article right now (least of all the History section). I was hoping there could be a section created for such opinions (positive or negative). Also, it appears on many websites already verbatim, and I think it's a copyright violation in how it is now. --BurritoBazooka Talk Contribs 13:47, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

message: In this article, ONS VIR JOU is translated in three ways:
(1) We're for you, South Africa
(2) US FOR YOU SOUTH AFRICA
(3)  We for thee South Africa
(1) is too colloquial for an inscription on a solemn monument (“We’re” instead of “We are”).
(2) Afrikaans ons means both ‘we’ (subject case’ and ‘us’ (object case). In this inscription, it is in subject case and therefore ‘we’ is needed.
(3) is best. Since this is a solemn monument, “thee” is best.
All things told, (3) is the only proper translation.S. Valkemirer (talk) 00:16, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

It would be nice to have the names of #12 and #14 in the sentence, as otherwise one has to count down the list. Also the "#" does not mean number in Commonwealth English. --Philip Baird Shearer 08:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Since I worked on the article, I cannot vote on its importance.  I think, however, wikipedia tends to rate all superhero articles as of higher importance than any non-superhero article.  My favorite example is that Henry Pym is rated high importance, Tarzan (comics) low importance.  This article I would like to see rated medium importance.  The strip was a full page in the New York Herald Tribune, and was probably read by more people than read The Avengers today.  On the other hand, it did have a relatively short run.

message: "She won narrowly in her re-election bid in 1996, defeating Democrat Charlotte Koskoff 50%–49%, her only close race for re-election.[3] She attributed her decreased percentage to the time she had spent on the House ethics panel, dealing with ethics allegations against Speaker Newt Gingrich, which prevented her from getting around in her district."
Or so she says.  It could be because she largely destroyed her reputation by protecting Gingrich, refusing to disclose documents, and shutting down the investigation early when the panel's special counsel (and two fellow Republican members) said more time was needed to finish.  68.196.10.68 (talk) 01:15, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

I mean, this is the closest I've got, and that's obviously some sort of stupid joke.

message: What's the problem with NPOV? This guy was no superman, just a pilot who had "arse made of wood" so he could sit in an open cockpit plane for entire days dead calm.

He also had a very good eyesight, which was much required in the pre-WWII era when IFR was unheard of.

replies: text: I have fixed Multivariate Analysis to redirect here for now, which is at least logical. Notionally the difference between "Multivariate analysis" and  "Multivariate statistics" is much the same as that between "Data analysis" and "Statistics". However this may not be well-reflected in the two articles. Certainly "Multivariate statistics" should include things like the theoretical properties of multivariate distributions and theoretical questions abour making statistical inference either from multivarite data, or about multivariate parameters. As for your last question, one can ponder the difference between "data analysis" and "statistical data analysis". Melcombe (talk) 11:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

The only couple of articles that have properly-maintained lists are ones where there are fans of the club who are also long-term editors.

Talk:Instability

message: I am not sure that this article meets the fundamental requirement of informing the uninformed.  Lists of instability names might be useful for teaching a parrot a semblance of erudition, but taken out of their original contexts, add little to explaining the idea of instability. Rather than jumping straight into eigenvalues, which immediately gives the impression of Emperor's New Clothes, we should start with static stability, which could be extended to catastrophe theory.  Dynamic instability may be explained with diagrams of divergent oscillations, followed by eigenvalues, followed perhaps by chaos.  Gordon Vigurs 10:08, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added most of the listed instabilities on the grounds that someone searching for one of them, will at least find a short desciption on what an instability is.

replies: text: Hi IZAK, thanks for that neat move of Nachlas Tzvi. Only two issues - one fairly significant.
1.If you want to be pedantic, he actually went by the English name of Herman Gross. Meshulam Tzvi was his Hebrew name and used in his Seforim.
2.Technically speaking and according to the information availible to me, he was NOT a Rabbi. Apparently (or so I've been told), he was offered Semicha many times and was certainly able, but never accepted it.
Therefore, I deliberately refrained from placing him in any Rabbi category, let alone the Haredi category. Off the point since he wasnt a Rabbi, I object to terming him "Haredi" as the boundaries in his age were fluid and the word wasnt even used. Indeed, by todays standards he may not have been "Haredi" (whatever that irksome term means). Many thanks, Nesher 15:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
