message: There is hardly enough here to warrant a page, thus I  moved it to the category, much like I did with :Category:Non-parametric statistics. I do not think this page is worth keeping separate. It provides scant information. This page will always be a stub here. — Chris53516 (Talk) 14:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Praise 

message: As far as I can see, Fisher (in the 1925 book referenced) uses the word "parametric" twice, both in the phrase "parametric function". He neither coined the term "parametric statistics" (that's Wolfowitz in the 40s in his PhD thesis, where nonparametric statistics is first defined), nor was he the first to consider parametric statistical models (not by a long way). He did some important work on both parametrics and nonparametrics but a bare reference to Fisher alone as if he somehow invented the concept is worse than not saying anything. At the very least offer an exact reference (preferably with a quote) so we understand exactly what is being claimed here. I don't think the text supports the current implication, and fixing it would make it not noteworthy enough to include.

thread_title:  Playmakers 

message: The most important job of a playmaker is to always be in the best position possible to receive a pass. He obviously has to be an exceptional reader of the game and a good passer.
Ronaldo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Gerrard, Totti, Figo and Iniesta are not playmakers. Some of them might be in time but they're certainly not at the moment.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eirebhoy (talk • contribs) 20:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  True playmakers 

message: Playmaking is also associated with ice hockey skaters and the capability of a skater (especially a forward) to make plays is vital to one's skill as a hockey player. They have to be creative both with the possession of the puck and without. Tomas Plekanec, Adam Oates, among other players, is considered a good playmaker by today's standards, capable to be creative in both offensive and defensive situations. Some of the best hockey playmakers are either defensive forwards or offensive defensemen. Also, playmakers usually score more assists than they do goals. --Xiaoshan Math (talk) 16:54, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, I came here looking for the association football term 'regista', but basketball uses 'playmaker' as well for the main player who creates for his team-mates, usually the point guard.

Also, I seem to faintly remember Becker talking rather feminist-like about a number of issues. I that really is a proper memory, then of *course* it has to be him hurting her, just to pay adage. Plus of course it's pretty difficult to go gender neutral to begin with, in English, even if in my native tongue everything could just be "it, it, it and btw it again".

But there are still no proper inline cites, and I can't give them since I don't have the original text at hand; I write from memory here. Also, I know my style is rather stuffy, long-winded and frankly boring to anybody who's not an encyclopaedist/autist, so do take the edges off, soonest, at least there. :) Decoy (talk) 00:16, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

message: I've decided against doing a speedy fail but currently the article would not pass Criteria 2 of WP:WIAGA.

thread_title: Passing GA

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. Whilst the GA criteria have changed since this article was originally passed, I believe it still meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.
For further improvement, we recommend that editors use the templates on WP:CITET to format references; as well as encouraging a uniform style of reference, it allows them to be parsed by bots for automated tasks like tracking down dead web-page links or ISBN conversion.

Talk:Mesoamerican world tree

message: I've moved and rewritten appropriately this article from its former title Wacah Chan to Mesoamerican world tree, for the following reasons:
*World trees are a pan-Mesoamerican concept, not just that of the Maya
*Accordingly the treatment needs to cover the inter-related depictions among Mesoamerican cultures, and as such a Mayan-originated designation is not used for non-Maya cultures
*wacah chan is, in any case,  but one Mayan language name variant for the concept (in this instance deriving from a phonetic reading of glyphs in Classic Maya appearing on the Temple of the Foliated Cross in Palenque, I believe), there are quite a few more (eg yax imix che in the Chilam B'alam of Chumayel).

thread_title:  spoilers 

message: I do not believe the movie mentions the fuel he first intends to use, but he ultimately decides to use a mixture of hydrazine and kerosene not liquid H2.  Kerosene is obviously easily obtainable, hydrazine is not so easy to purchase however it is not too difficult to synthasize from urea with proper knowledge of chemistry.  I don't feel like getting into an editing war with Jim, if you are reading this Jim please make note, anyone else please fix this.  Further the movie doesn't necessarily say the fuel is denied, they begin to investigate him as a result of his attempting to purchase it however so one would assume they stopped the sale.  Are there plot wholes? Yes, but no more than many other movies. 65.2.78.99 (talk) 02:23, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm inclined to believe the latter account, because (1) they replaced her with an actress who was 15 years younger, and (2) she won $10 million in her lawsuit, and somehow I doubt she could have persuaded the court to give her that much if she'd been fired for good cause.
