Talk:El Yunque (Puerto Rico)

message: In the case of El Yunque near Baracoa it can hardly be a coincidence that the Spanish word for anvil is 'yunque' and it looks like an anvil. What does this thing look like? DirkvdM 19:45, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The Taino believed that the Mountain of El Yunque was where Yuquiyu, their protector god lived. The Spaniards heard them calling the mountain 'Yu-ke' and from there inferred the 'yunque' connection. For the record, though the whole mountain is somewhat broad, it is not at all flat and does not resemble an anvil at all. Another theory posits that it was so named by the Spaniards because of the way storms would be somewhat deflected by the mountain (I find this unlikely).

Talk:Hurricane Gordon

message: This article used to state that "Member nations of the World Meteorological Organization must send a delegate to the annual meeting to formally submit a request for tropical cyclone name retirement; for unknown reasons, Haiti did not send a delegate to the Spring 1995 meeting." Yesterday, I visited the MetOffice which had a copy of the minutes from the 1995 Hurricane Committee and as I flipped through I stumbled across a section that talked about Haiti's partcipation in the meeting. This stated that Haiti had sent a representive to the meeting and did not mention anything about any name retirements. As a result, I have removed the clearly false statment and would speculate that Gordons non retirement had more to do with the review into the retired names that took place inbetween the 1995 and 1996 sessions.Jason Rees (talk) 12:04, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

message: From the political institutional point of view, the North American colonists of the 1760's-1770's wanted either directly elected representatives from the North American colonies in the British parliament, or some kind of structurally-entrenched "constitutional" guarantee of certain privileges for the North American colonies (i.e. so that the privileges couldn't be revoked by a simple majority vote of parliament after the next revolving-door change of British ministries).  It was the refusal of politicians in London to seriously consider either of these demands which was one of the contributing causes of the American Revolutionary War.  I think that sometimes Americans in the 1760's and 1770's railed against parliamentary elective dictatorship (though they presumably didn't use that exact phrase).

Talk:Tripartite classification of authority

message: State sponsored and state encouraged or initiated personality cults are not a form of charismatic authority. For example.

message: :Not likely. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 14:18, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Maybe there is something in the article that is NOT [[NPOV]]: 

message: It is written in the article:
: (...)
:Weber also notes that legal domination is the most advanced, and that societies evolve from having mostly traditional and charismatic authorities to mostly rational and legal ones, because the instability of charismatic authority inevitably forces it to "routinize" into a more structured form of authority. (...) A classic example of these three types may be found in religion:
:* priests (traditional),
:* Jesus (charismatic), and the 
:* Roman Catholic Church (legal-rational). (...) 
I don't agree with the third example.
I would rather put United Nations and/or United Nations Security Council.
The "legality" and/or "rationality" of the Roman Catholic Church has been put into deep discussion and analysis by the italian mathematician Piergiorgio Odifreddi's essay "Why we cannot be Christians (much less catholics)" .<bR>
Let's NOT forget that "religion" is the first authority in this Max Webers tripartite classification.
The lowest one in importance.
So this "legal-rationality" is internal to a charismatic domination and not to a legal domination.  
Sorry!

thread_title:  The classification of authority in the context of history 

message: Contemplating the weirdness of the article, I imagine that it actually reflects Weber's thinking correctly. I cannot see any "hierarchy" between the three different forms of authority, so there must be some underlying notion of what is "primitive" vs. "civilized", which needs to be related in the intro. There is some underlying theory of incremental civilization or some such, that is missing in this text... Or? Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 14:23, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Scalar curvature

message: I originally switched from S to R because every other article on WP that talks about scalar curvature uses R not S (since S is already taken, used to  denote the "action").
Also: I have yet to see any book where the scalar curvature is denoted by S. Neither of the two  mathbooks I have on Riemannian geometry call it that. So in what sense is "S" the "usual" notation?  linas 22:18, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It is usual in Riemannian geometry, and this is an article in Riemanninan geometry. Almost any modern book use S or Sc. Ricci flow guys use and  inex oriented intos use R. See Curvature of Riemannian manifolds and Weyl curvature. Also if you do not use index notation it has no sense to use R. Tosha 22:50, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Notation -- R vs S 

message: It ought to be mentioned that scalar curvature is defined for pseudo-Riemannian metrics as well.  There is at least one sentence in the article which implies scalar curvature is specific to Riemannian metrics only. Jjauregui (talk) 20:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Pseudo-Riemannian case

message: The section titled "2 dimensions" starts as follows:
"In 2 dimensions, scalar curvature is exactly twice the Gauss curvature:
 S = 2/(ρ1 ρ2)
where  ρ1, ρ2 are principal radii of the surface."
This isn't quite describing the case of "2 dimensions" but rather the case where a 2-dimensional manifold is assumed to have an embedding in 3-space.  So -- either the equation should not assume the surface is embedded in 3-space, or the title of this section should be changed to reflect this assumption. (Or else both the embedded and intrinsic cases could be addressed.)Daqu (talk) 19:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section on 2-dimensional case needs fine tuning 

message: The first equation defines S = tr[g] Ric, but doesn't define Ric.
The second equation gives another expression for S, which doesn't use Ric, but where Ric is defined.
I'm sure the experts here understand what is going on, but to me, trying to figure out, it is confusing.
I also don't understand what it means to take the trace of the tensor with respect to the metric.
The reference to the trace article only refers to the trace with respect to a basis.
Is the metric a basis?  I thought it was a bilinear form.
Is their an obvious interpretation of a bilinear form as a set of basis vectors?  The columns of the matrix?
