Talk:RAPID

message: The 31 May 2006 version of the article suggests the acronym has been superceeded and is no longer in use for Rural Property Addressing. However, the property numbers that result are called RAPID numbers in both New Zealand and Australia, according to a recent google search. Also this article suggests there is a difference between RAPID numbers and Rural Addressing. It suggests the numbers are complimentary rather than mutually exclusive, and that the RAPID system has not been replaced. The article needs expanding to explain these inconsistency, and that the term is Australasian, not New Zealand specific. It should also explain how RAPID numbers are calculated. -- Cameron Dewe 23:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I think this article takes too long to actually define the significance of the topic.  It should be spelled out in the first sentence or first few sentences, at least in brief; and then expanded upon later in the article.

Talk:Asian handicap

message: There is an error in the sentence:
  similar to the odds for a basketball or baseball game where a tie is impossible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.193.211.103 (talk) 10:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "Explained: This handicap states that half of your bet goes on Newcastle winning by 1 goal, and half on Newcastle winning by 1.5 goals."
in the section entitled "Quarter Goal or Two Way Handicaps" is utterly misleading, if not formally wrong. I would rephrase it something like:
"This handicap states that half of your bet goes on Newcastle winning or losing by less than 1 goal, and half on Newcastle winning or losing by less than 1.5 goals"
What do you people think? 88.6.113.137 (talk) 13:37, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tie in basketball is '''possible'''! 

message: The odds for a quarter handicap are different from splitting half the stake on each.
Let's say you bet $100 on Home -1.75 at odds 2.29. If they win by exactly two goals, then the outcome will be:
* $50 is refunded (H -2.0)
* $50 wins at 2.29 (H -1.5)
For a total return of $164.50, or a $64.50 profit.
However, the payout will be different. Obviously, H -1.5 would not "by itself" have odds of 2.25 - they would be lower. In order to achieve the goal of "half win and half push", the stakes (risked amount) can't be what's equal, it has to be the potential profit for each leg - half of the profit has to go on either side. So if we're visualizing it as "splitting up the stakes", here's what we get:
* $35.71 on H -2.0 @ 2.80
* $64.29 on H -1.5 @ 2.00
If we get a half-win-half-push situation, then we get 1.00 * 35.71 + 2.00 * 64.29 = $164.29, which is exactly equivalent to the above. It's trivially obvious that it's identical in case of a full win (2.8 * 35.71 + 2.00 * 64.29 = $228.57), as well as in the case of a full loss.
The above explanation is true for those cases where the potential outcome is a half-loss (half push), since in those cases we would set the staked amount to be equal.

thread_title:  Request 

message: I am planning on making some changes to this article over the next few weeks. First, I plan on expanding the currently underdeveloped themes section. I want to rename the section "Analysis" and add two subsections for “Themes” and “Pedagogy,” to highlight the main takeaways of this book and its implementation in school curricula. I also plan on adding new information to the reception page, including reviews with negative perspectives to balance the current content, which focuses more on the positive reception. I also found a few grammatical errors within the article that I plan to correct. My goal is to align this article more closely to Wikipedia's recommendations for articles about books.

Talk:Las Animas, Colorado

message: Who is Nicolas Lee Martinez?  Does he share a significant part of Las Animas history?
In the article, "Old Columbian school falls to wrecker's ball", Anthony A. Mestas clearly states that the building fell on Tuesday, February 21, 2006 not on the 14th of February.
The article on Las Animas, Colorado should be free of people's opinions and rather give information to the general public as to what Las Animas, CO has to offer.  Instead of posting opinions in the article itself, these talk pages are a great resource to contribute feelings and thoughts.  Also, it is hard to move away from the past when a small community, such as Las Animas, depends so much on the past as a source of economy.
There has been some doubt to the Las Animas, Colorado page in whether the information on the Columbian School is fact or opinion.  Fact is something that is readily evident and can be proven with documentation from a viable source.  The Columbian Elementary school is designated to the mentioned historical preservation committees.  Though the school was torn down, it is still listed and will forever be listed.  So, it is fact and will be mentioned in the part of the article designated for Columbian School.  The sources are also available through the links provided.
The directions north, south, east, and west should not be capitalized.
The name of the new elementary school is the "Las Animas Elementary School.
Wiley Coyote does not come from Las Animas, as far as I know. He has no geographical origin, coming from the mind of the cartoon artist.  Mary Anne Urry  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.152.233.45 (talk) 14:32, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:List of textbooks in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics

message: What would people think of reorganizing not by date but by approximate reading level? This would make the list more useful. Brief annotations on some of the items would be nice too. I suggest creating a separate category for 'non-equilibrium statistical mechanics', which would include kinetic theory. I know of several important books that could fill this out. 
As for objective criteria in deciding which books to include, how about taking into consideration google scholar citation count? MaxwellMolecule (talk) 22:09, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: At some point I would like to rearrange into approximate reading level, but we should have third-party sources to tell us what's what. As for google citation count: I do not understand why people keep proposing that, it is both original research and an unreliable source. It is unacceptable to include here.

thread_title:  Reorganization suggestion 

message: Hi all, so check it out, WP notability criteria for books is really low-offensively low in comparison to the high bar for academics, but that's beside the point. Two points
* Books have to have ISBN (if published after 1975) and must be officially cataloged in its country of origin (like library of congress).
* Other than that, it can meet any of these and be wiki-notable WP:BKCRIT
::Has been the subject of two or more reviews
::the book has been "the subject of instruction at two or more schools, colleges, universities or post-graduate programs in any particular country"
::The author "is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable."
