Talk:Nemesis

message: The passage "She is the implacable executrix of justice—that of Zeus in the Olympian scheme of things—but it was clear she existed before him, for her images associate her with several goddesses who are manifestations of the former Great Goddess: Cybele, Rhea, Demeter and Artemis" lacks a cite and seems to refer directly to the Murray Thesis of a prehistoric monotheistic goddess cult that has been thoroughy discredited over the years as false. It should probably be removed, or explained further and cited. Dinoguy2 10:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Changed. Disinclination 03:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Sophmores quickly learn to dismiss all pre-Olympian cult and myth in just such terms. Margaret Murray's discussion of Nemesis, if there is one, well might be addressed in this article, even if to dismiss it out of hand: that would be a good task for Dinoguy2, it would seem.  Some citation of Lewis R. Farnell, The Cults of the Greek Sates vol. II, chapter xiv (Nemesis), on the other hand, might improve this article. I don't have it. --!Wetman 08:26, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Former Great Goddess" 

message: The reference linked to for equating Nemesis with Invidia is a review; it would be better if the source itself were used. More generally (and I think into Christian usage), Phthonos = Invidia, as in allegorical depictions of self-gnawing. The article may imply too strongly that Invidia was the standard Latin translation of Nemesis, when it seems to be more complex matter, judging from the review cited.

Talk:Least squares

message: I think the notation Y here is a little confusing, because Y makes it seem like it could be a matrix, when in fact it has to be a vector:
: L(D, \vec{\beta})= ||X\vec{\beta} - Y||^2 = (X\vec{\beta} - Y)^T (X\vec{\beta} - Y) = Y^{T}Y- Y^{T}X\vec{\beta}- \vec{\beta}^{T}X^TY+\vec{\beta}^{T}X^TX\vec{\beta}

Talk:Joey Potter

message: I've seen every episode of Dawson's Creek and I know that you can see Joey's birthdate in her passport in one episode, set as May 13, 1983. But, how come her birthday is just after the summer vacation, when she and Dawson get together in the season 6 premiere episode? Cause they keep saying how they "didn't talk at all this summer". It doesn't make any sense. Logic then makes Joey born either in September or early October depending on their summer vacation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.112.53.185 (talk) 20:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The birthday's have always been somewhat sporadic and changable to suit the storyline. The season one and two time screw-up was responsible for some confusion over Pacey's birthday once as well. His was alleged to be right at the start of the academic year (since it was shown at the start of season two), but then changed in season four to part way through the academic year. This can be explained away by noting that season two didn't begin at the start of the year, it continued the moment season one signed off (instead of after the summer holidays as all the other seasons did). Joey's birthday can't be accounted for that way, but there was never much concern about continuity in this respect. Take a look at the Andie and Jack confusion, they're brother and sister and the age gap was never even determined, let alone birthdates for the two! DC manipulated character ages and birthdays to fit in with storylines they wanted to run, I think that's all there is to it. Sky83 (talk) 14:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Although I found text to support dismantling USS Sam Rayburn by name [], "The United States had long planned to retire and dismantle two of the oldest Poseidon submarines when their reactor cores were exhausted. Had I been persuaded that refueling and retaining these two Poseidon submarines would have contributed significantly and cost-effectively to the national security, I would have directed that these two Poseidon submarines not be dismantled but be overhauled and retained. However, in view of present circumstances, including current military and economic realities, I have directed their retirement and dismantlement as planned."

Talk:Major Owens

message: Contesting the neutrality of this page for removing this bit:
"One of the more infamous moments of Major Owens' career came in 1995, when he announced that 200 million slaves were thrown overboard and into the Atlantic Ocean during the years of the slave trade. Even more laughable was the notion that this wound up altering the ecology of the ocean, as sharks began following the slave ships. Rep. Owens later apologized for citing phony numbers."
I object to the movement of the Owens article from "Major Owens" to "Robert Odell Owens".
Major is his first name, not a title.
