We trying to writte serious encyclopaedia and we should not play such games with non-English names. Even in the cases of bilingualism, English language pick one of those names as most common and another one only as alternative. But, what ever, if you so much want bolded Serbian name in the first sentence of this article, you can have it, but I will anyway change the sentence to be more in accordance with aesthetics and Wikipedia naming conventions. And by the way, if you do not agree to usage of the name, why you reverted my other edits here including percentual participation of ethnic groups that I added. PANONIAN 16:56, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Erdős–Rényi model

message: According to:
They do not account for the formation of hubs. Formally, the degree distribution of ER graphs converges to a Poisson distribution, rather than a power law observed in most real-world, scale-free networks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_and_Strogatz_model#Rationale_for_the_model
And in the main article it says:
"Properties of G(n, p)
As mentioned above, a graph in G(n, p) has on average \tbinom{n}{2} p edges. The distribution of the degree of any particular vertex is binomial:"
Am I right to assume that it is the G(n, M) model which has a poisson distribution or did I miss something or is there a mistake. As a general comment the main article seems to focus mainly on the G(n, M) model with little discussion on the G(n, p) model.
S243a (talk) 21:45, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: After some thought it seems to be the case that if there are at least 10 times as many nodes as the average order then the Poisson distribution is a suitable approximation even though the underlying statistics are binomial. Given that in most areas of social science the number of nodes is large in comparison to the order then Poisson statistics usually are appropriate.

Talk:Low Prussian dialect

message: Maiden from germanic writing in latvian pronounciation and writing can be written as meiten. Meitene is loanword from germans and meiča (meitsha - c pronounces as very short ts, č pronounces as short tš or tsh) is just shortened variation maid with added ending.
Shorter version of maiden, meita(maid) is used for daughter, where lithuanians and even nearby slavic people uses much older version of daughter - dukte in Lithuanian. Even germans use similarly sounding word: tochter(d and t pronounciation is exactly same - only changes tongue tip: in case of d it is higher and t - lower, In english case it did not went far to daughter). This word has jumped meaning from girl to daughter(because to germanic speaking invaders somebody's daughter was maid) and subjugation also influenced local peoples language, where some of local people went germanization to keep their social position.

thread_title:  Ambiguity! 

message: The result of Van der Zypen on the conjecture for infinite graphs shouldn't really be mentioned here for a number of reasons. The first point is the result was already known. For example, Diestel (in the paper "Simplicial decompositions of graphs") cites the result as being in Halin's book "Graphentheorie II", I think even as an exercise, although I can't find a copy.
The second point is that the content of the paper, which is an unpublished preprint, is a very obvious counterexample. Take the disjoint union of a clique of size n for each natural number n, this graph clearly doesn't have finite chromatic number, but also has no infinite component and so no infinite clique minor. 
(Technically, Van der Zypen shows a little more, that you can take the graph to be connected, but that is just achieved by joining the cliques together along a ray)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.100.221.55 (talk) 07:56, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Tantra

message: Early on there is criticism about the Western perception of tantra and even the claim that it is an invention of orientalist views. It then becomes unclear whether the following sections are building off the Western definition or the critical definition- assuming there is one. What I'm getting at is that the defining of terms is unclear and confuses just what the individual sections, especially the history, are supporting. If that makes sense. I had a vague idea of what tantra means, and I clicked on the link from the article on Yamantaka, described as a "tantric" deity. I can't say I understand exactly what defines a "tantric deity" after reading this article that  to say "'tantra' isn't a valid category at all, but here are a chronology of things wrongly associated with this erroneous category."

message: Hello everybody,
I have just removed the note about tickets no longer being sold on board DB trains. That is true, but it is not true, that the München-Nürnberg-Express is the only operator to continue to sell their tickets on board trains. The 'Allgäu Express' also still sell tickets on board their trains (I happen to know because I live there :-) ) and I'd imagine that there are a few more independent operators that still make the lives of 'black drivers' (german Schwarzfahrer == fare dodger) simple.
Kind regards... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.156.116.107 (talk • contribs)

Talk:Interval exchange transformation

message: The section Odometers defines the odometer mapping on the Cantor space viewed as {0,1}ℕ. It also defines a mapping between this Cantor space and the unit interval [0,1]. And finally, the "visualization of the odometer" depicts a mapping from the unit interval to itself.
But this section never actually states how these three things are connected with each other. Although I have a guess, it would be good if someone knowledgeable on this subject filled in this missing information. 
Also, the illustrations visualizing the odometer have a problem: Because they are all drawn so as to have a continuous graph, they make it appear that the odometer is a continuous map on the unit interval.  As such, it is very far from being a bijection.
But it is in fact a bijection (actually a homeomorphism) of the Cantor set to itself.
So it would be much better if the illustrations depicted the odometer mapping as a bijection. In other words, without connecting parts of the graph that should not be connected to each other. 2601:200:C000:1A0:EC27:E3E5:4AD9:D440 (talk) 23:54, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Party size 

message: Although military clashes occured between 5-6 July 1997 and some news articles listed him as "ousted" in the first few days after the clashes, such as this article , it is not right to list Ung Huot as having succeeded Ranariddh as First PM right away. Neither 16 July 1997 is a right date when FUNCINPEC agreed to nominate him as PM . The  date of replacement should be marked on the day when there is some form of official ceremony, or signing of decree by an authorised person. In this case, the date of the assembly sitting is considered to be the date when Ranariddh was officially replaced.

thread_title:  Questionable ''See also'' section

message: The section currently portrays the strip as a "morality play" that shows a negative consequence of overindulgence, however there is no source for that claim and in some cases, the dreamer is obviously not overindulgent, such as the strips from Dec 6, 1904, in which the dreamer is a homeless man, and Jan 7, 1905, in which the dreamer is a prisoner in jail.
What I believe is more significant is that often the dream will reveal something about the character of the dreamer, but after he or she awakens, they invariably blame their agitation on something they ate rather than learning a lesson from the dream. For instance, in the strip from Feb 8, 1905, the man dreams of having an affair with a wooden Cigar Store Indian, which ends with him being divorced and forced to pay a $5,000 a minute alimony. At the end of it, rather than vowing himself against adultery, he is more concerned that Welsh Rarebit causes so much apparent night-time stress.
This theme is not absolutely consistent, though I believe there are more examples of it than support the "morality play" theory. I think mostly the strip was an examination of the surreal nature of dreams. It may also be significant that both this and Little Nemo were both set entirely in dreams, however I don't have any sources on the matter.
