Talk:Leica Camera

message: Leica built its early business on the outstanding quality of its design and especially its lens design....but there is no mention of this or how the lenses were designed and the glass used. At the time when Leica was growing Zeiss was doing its utmost to better Leitz quality using innovative designs and new glass formulations - what was Leitz doing to stay ahead?

Talk:Christiane Amanpour

message: Outside of her Polk and Peabody awards, there is little mention of others she has garnered throughout her career.   However, is the purpose of Wikipedia to glorify Left-leaning "journalists" such as Amanpour, who is only ever fair to one ideology (her own)?
From her CNN profile:
"Amanpour was given her first major assignment covering the Gulf War[dubious – discuss], which led to her being transferred in 1986 to Eastern Europe to report on the fall of European communism."

Talk:Poor metal/Poor metal old talk page

message: The list of elements that are poor metals doesn't include Aluminum, but it's referenced as such in the picture and in the page for Aluminum.  Stifynsemons 02:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the colors so that there are only 3 instead of about 17 (some were only slightly different than others, so you could only identify about 8 different ones), and they are grouped according to what the article claims are the poor metals. One is for the poor metals, one is for the elements sometimes considered poor metals and the last is for all of the other elements. Also, the "other elements" are faded. -- Kjkolb 03:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I reverted the reversion of my change to the article and requested that the editor, 69.238.129.55, explain his or her reasoning for such coloring on this talk page. The coloring I came up with identifies the elements that are usually thought to be poor metals as green, those that are not as light blue and those that are sometimes considered poor metals as light green. The other coloring, appeared to be colored according to relative electronegativity. It was rather confusing since this coloring was not acknowledged and it is difficult to identify the precise color of the elements in the "faded" section. Also, I think that a clear presentation of what is and is not a poor metal and what is sometimes considered a poor metal is more important than identifying electronegativity. Finally, using the "faded" look alone with the electronegativity coloring does not allow the elements that are sometimes considered to be poor metals to be put in their own group. -- Kjkolb 21:14, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Yates's correction for continuity

message: "Using the chi-squared distribution to interpret Pearson's chi-squared statistic requires one to assume that the discrete probability of observed binomial frequencies in the table can be approximated by the continuous chi-squared distribution. This assumption is not quite correct, and introduces some error." This is false. The chi-square distribution is an approximate distribution for the statistic, not the data (frequencies). For the statistic to be approx. *chi-square*, Poisson counts within cells should have a distribution well aproximated by a *gaussian* distribution.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gklimmt (talk • contribs) 09:10, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

The reasoning given here seems incorrect. Snow of course does pile up on sea ice and tundra. The ringed seal e.g. builds caves in snow on top of sea ice in order to reproduce and is threatened by the loss of this habitat due to human cause climate change, mainly due to the continued burning of fossil fuels. 118.148.101.216 (talk) 02:47, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Sakarat means in Finnish: the sharp tips of a star or another structure, for example of a pyramid.

Talk:Color vision

message: 1. No photographic image, whether printed, projected, or displayed on a monitor perfectly reproduces what your eye sees. (for sufficiently 'colorful' real world scenes.) This should be noted, imho, up front. That is the pictures shown in an article about color should explicitly acknowledge that they probably don't show what you or I would see if looking at the same scene (under the same illumination). 2. I think it's also notable that the "color name" to wavelength/frequency map is notably different with different languages. That is, although roja, rouge, and rot are all translated to red in English (from Spanish, French, and German, resp.) it is not true that all languages views the cut off between red and orange to be at 625 nm. (nor between Orange and Yellow, Yellow and Green, Green and Blue, etc.).
