Talk:Michal

message: Many English bibles changed the text because of this confusion. But this is the correct translation to this phrase. (from the Hebrew bible.) Shmuel 2:8
 "The king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite."
Because Michal couldn't have been both the childless wife of David and the wife of Adriel and a mother of 5 sons, some English bibles changed her name to Merav. Or they wrote that she took care of the 5 boys. But the correct translation (from the Hebrew bible) is that she bore (gave birth) to these boys.
There are many contradictions in the biblical narrative of book Samuel 1 vs Samuel 2. I think that we should include here both narratives.--Jane955 (talk) 14:54, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

text: Hi Adam.  I thought that would work as disambiguation and would be consistent with the practice for other rulers (e.g., Harald III of Norway).  Do you think "Alexander (emperor)" would work better (unless it's already linked to Severus Alexander)?  I would be happy to move the page to another title, but let's agree on a satisfactory option.  I cannot imagine how one can define this Alexander as the third.  Second, maybe, as Severus Alexander was a legitimate emperor, but he is usually "Severus Alexander" even when his name is simplified (omitting other names).  Imladjov 17:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

text: I just checked. "Alexander (emperor)", "Alexander (Byzantine)", and "Alexander (Byzantine emperor)" are all free.  Any ideas or other suggestions?  The Empress Theodora shows up as "Theodora (11th century)".  Actually any such usage would require a disambiguation page. Imladjov 17:16, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Prototile

message: for congruent you need more than a top. space. --MarSch 15:50, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: In the first sentence it says:
"..a prototile is one of the shapes of a tile in a tessellation."
This is not so clear as there are several words that the reader don't even know are defined or not. The word "prototile" as one of the "shapes" indicates that prototiles are made of shapes. I doubt this is the case, and regardless, the word "shape" needs to be explained too.
The sentence continues by saying that the shape is part of a "tile", which makes me confused. Here the opposite is claimed - that prototiles are part of "tiles", that is if prototiles and tiles are the same thing. This needs to be sorted out, and if they aren't the same, the situation needs to be explained further too.
When I searched for some information about this I came across this excerpt by Judith Cederberg in the publication "A Course in Modern Geometries" (https://books.google.com/books?id=Fo9tqL99jdMC&pg=PA174#v=onepage&q&f=false):
"A tiling, or tessellation, of the plane is a covering of the plane with congruent copies of one or more prototiles so there are no gaps or overlaps (except at edges). Copies of the prototiles are called tiles and a point at which three or more tiles meet is called a vertex of the tiling." 
Besides the word "congruent" this phrasing is much more easy to understand.

thread_title: Untitled

message: I know, I should do something about it then.  I'm not exactly sure what.  It combines deamination of bases in DNA with more or less completely unrelated material about deamination of metabolites in the liver.

thread_title:  This page is a mess 

message: The first sentence defines deamination as "the removal of an amine group from a molecule", whereas Merriam-Webster and others define it as "to remove an amino group from (a compound)". Not the same thing, people!  Morenus (talk) 20:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Amine? You mean, amino. 

message: I think there's a mistake in the consequence of deamination of a Guanine into Xanthine. I read in different references that Xanthine pairs with Cytosine and that therefore deamination of guanine has no mutational consequences. 
Sources : Biochemistry 5th ed - Jeremy M. Berg, John L. Tymoczko, Lubert Stryer
Other mutagens act by chemically modifying the bases of DNA. For example, nitrous acid (HNO2) reacts with bases that
contain amino groups. Adenine is oxidatively deaminated to hypoxanthine, cytosine to uracil, and guanine to xanthine.
Hypoxanthine pairs with cytosine rather than with thymine (Figure 27.43). Uracil pairs with adenine rather than with
guanine. Xanthine, like guanine, pairs with cytosine. Consequently, nitrous acid causes A-T G-C transitions.

WHAT????  Sorry, no... 
They tend towards ANYTHING with two wheels (they practically invented FTW) and have NO loyalty to H-D whatsoever.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Not necessarily true... The first so-called "outlaw" motorcycle clubs were established by returning WWII veterans that had ridden HD's in the war. Indians were the only serious competitor at the time, and HD's were preferred. Even with the eventual influx of 
Japanese motorcycle, I'm sure that even the dimmest wit could see the incongruity of a WWII vet riding a Japanese motorcycle. While British bikes were certainly tolerated, American iron was still preferred and that tradition has carried on to this day by majority of MC's (not to be confused with Riding Clubs,) but most especially outlaw clubs. In 30 years of riding I have NEVER witnessed a member of ANY outlaw club riding ANYTHING other than a Harley-Davidson.Norton72 13:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

As for your "yawn", for the most part I see no need to write up Tony Bennett album articles.  None of them are as famous as the Sinatra 1950s proto-concept albums or the Ella songbook albums.

The paragraph "Examples of g(n)" refers to a "first definition" and a "second definition". It is not clear what these two definitions are, they were not mentioned as such in the previous part of the article. The equation at the end of the line "Using the first definition" obviously contradicts the equation in the first line of the paragraph "Examples of g(2)" for n = 2. The equation at the end of the line "Using the second definition" produces no contradiction.
