Talk:Wallingford, Connecticut

message: What is the difference between Wallingford and Wallingford Center, Connecticut?  I see Wallingford Center on maps, yet I've never heard of it until recently.  The article says that it's a census designated place.  Why is it called Wallingford Center and not just Wallingford?  Does it cover a different area?  Is it a completely different place?
 
Wallingford Center is the downtown area, although the exact boundaries I'm not sure of. Does anyone know if Wallingford is officially a city or a town. Wiki titles it a city, but many other references label it as a town.
Perhaps it's a consolidated city-town?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.13.69.86 (talk) 23:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's correct when I update it, but tomorrow it will be wrong again. For articles that have a bigger following, this wouldn't be a problem. However, since this page is undoubtedly not updated very often by people besides myself, it might be better to just get rid of it.

Talk:Italo Svevo

message: Second change.
I deleted mention of Svevo's religiosity, which is irrelevant for his literary production (and inappropriate for the shortness of this voice).
Sara again. Ciao.

Attention!
Svevo did write in an excellent Italian! 
Any Italian still considers it such, today that Italians do have Italian as their mother-tongue. 
Anyhow, Italy was largely progressing towards the unification of its language by Svevo's time, so you cannot talk of Svevo's Triestino as you had to talk of any other writer, up to Manzoni, needing to borrow another language, i.e. Tuscanian (Manzoni said he had to "sciacquare in Arno" his literary language, i.e., wash one's originary Italian dialect in the river crossing Florence). 
On the topic, which is indeed very interesting, you can read more if you search for "questione della lingua", which has been lasting since Dante's first use of "volgare", till Italian re-unification in 1861 and further.

message: Why does category of graded vector spaces redirect here? I thought gr.VS's were usually Z- or N-graded, e.g. in de Rham or rational singular cohomology. Are we being perhaps too hasty in trying to make all things "super"? —vivacissamamente (talk) 08:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the article just has a convoluted history. Initially, category of graded vector spaces was a proper article and not a redirect. Although, it was primary about the category of super vector spaces and not graded vector spaces in general. Perhaps the author named it with the intention of expanding it later, or perhaps they were unaware that there were, in fact, more general entities called graded vector spaces. Eventually, someone merged the content here (which was probably best) and provided a redirect. But, as you point out, this is an odd place to redirect such an article to. I've changed it to point to graded vector space until such time as someone wants to write a proper article on the subject. -- Fropuff (talk) 04:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

There is a widespread tendency among many social movements to regard opposite views as merely controversial, without taking the time to debate or examine them, and in fact this is at the very heart of political correctness.

Talk:Milutin Milanković

message: This great man's name is presented in Latin characters with apparently random spelling throughout: 
Milanković, Milankovitch, Milankovich, Milankovic
In at least one paragraph, three of these are used. I believe the last two of those listed above are just typographical errors. Although the current transliteration of Slavonic ć/ћ would probably be 'ch', 'tch' was preferred in his lifetime. 
Plainly, in quotations and authorial references the spelling used by that work can be used.
In the top paragraph, all the accepted forms of the name are correctly presented.
In the general running text one variant ought to be used, either Milanković or Milankovitch. As this is en.wikipedia.org and not, for instance, hr.wikipedia.org, a variant that doesn't require a non-English character should be used: Milankovitch.
