Talk:Yukon

message: User  seems to think Yukon has an alternate name, , yet provides no sourcing to back this up. According to https://yukon.ca/fr/votre-gouvernement, the official web page for the Yukon government, the territory is called simply  in French.

thread_title:  repeated disruptive editing 

message: The opening paragraph states that Yukon has the smallest population of the three territories, citing the 2016 population of 35,874, however, the estimated population of YT for 2019/2020 is 41,022, which puts it ahead of Nunavut's estimated 38,873. While both estimates could be inaccurate, it suggests that YT has had greater population growth than NU in the past four years, regardless of the exact numbers.
Is it better to adopt a wait and see approach, change the statment to compare YT's place as 2nd most populated territory/2nd least populated in Canada with Whitehorse being the largest city in the territories, or would dropping any mention of YT's population from the opening paragraph would be a better option.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.238.82.195 (talk) 23:09, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Population Statistics 

message: The Yukon government has officially changed their position and now calls it The Yukon (as has most of the population done all along), using the definitive article THE. However, to save money, existing texts (including websites) and signs will NOT be replaced/changed to reflect that, until these texts/signs have to be changed/replaced for some other reason.
I changed the entire lemma to reflect not only the local use of the article, which is prevalent, but also the official change in the Territorial government's use. That was a lot of work. Of course I included the link to the official government announcment as a reference.
Then someone anonymous changed it all back without taking into account the NEW development. That sucks.Ds77 (talk) 10:43, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Tomaž Pisanski

message: Hi all, I have nominated this article for deletion on grounds of non-notable biography.  If you disagree, please see the talk page for the vfd.  The best counterargument would be writing a good article on a clearly interesting/important theorem proven by Pisanski, or at least naming such a theorem.  E.g. I just cated into this category the biography of Bill Tutte, about whom there is no argument over notability, but if there were, I could point to existing articles on some of his theorems.  BTW, someone needs to write the most important one, on Tutte polynomial.  I could write it, but lack time right now.---CH  (talk) 23:32, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Additive synthesis

message: I just deleted the section suggesting that wavetable synthesis was a poor man's additive synthesis.  It is nothing of the sort.  The awful paper it cites as an authority is saying nothing more than if you take multiple oscillators and sum them, perhaps with separate envelopes, that's "additive synthesis": it simply does so in a wavetable context, and furthermore makes the claim that wavetables may be viewed as "preprocessed" sums of sine waves. This is trivialization of additive synthesis to the point where it loses all meaning.  Under this definition, any analog subtractive synthesizer with two oscillators is "additive" -- indeed, any polyphonic synthesizer is "additive".
Additive synthesis needs a more specific definition than this: otherwise everything is additive if it involves producing N>2 voices.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.35.82.126 (talk) 09:08, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Uhm, sorry but you're wrong. If all of the overtones are strictly harmonic, wavetable can do anything additive can do. But wavetable fails if there are overtones of significant amplitude that are also sufficiently detuned from their harmonic value (like bells and such).  I have reverted the deletion and added another cite to an AES paper from Andrew Horner that says essentially the same thing.  Also, Group Additive Synthesis uses wavetable synthesis for each harmonic group.  Group additive doesn't really have any point to it without wavetable being the basic engine.  That's why group additive should be a subsection under wavetable. 173.48.64.110 (talk) 00:19, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Hunting

message: The very first paragraph says "Hunting is most commonly done by humans to harvest useful animal products (meat, fur/hide, bone/tusks, horn/antler, etc), for recreation/taxidermy (see trophy hunting), to remove predators dangerous to humans or domestic animals (e.g. wolf hunting), to eliminate pests and nuisance animals that damage crops/livestock/poultry or spread diseases (see varminting), for trade/tourism (see safari), or for ecological conservation against overpopulation and invasive species (see culling)." and I mean, yeah, sure, if you say all of that you could even say it's exclusive to humans because, well, we're the only ones who do/care about any of that. However, it was written as "hunting is most commonly done by /humans/" which implies it's comparing how common it is for other species to hunt compared to humans, in which case the statement becomes almost comically false.
Unless I'm misreading it and it's saying "it's most common for humans to hunt for these reasons"... in which case, ignore me. Kurokubi (talk) 13:39, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Marxist-Leninist government

message: /archive 1
This is a meaningless article that should be done away with and redirected to Communist state. The "Communist state" is an official, formal framwork of government. Other government-types include monarchy, constitutional monarchy, federal republic, republic, confederation, etc..
All forms of government have a theoretical basis for sovereignty. Sovereignty can be vested in the state, monarch, "the people" through their representatives, the whole body of citizens, and so on.
A "Communist state" is a republic officially structured in a certain way. According to the principles of Marxism-Leninism, soveriegnty rests in "the people" through a people's assembly constituted by members of a single Communist Party. In contrast, Chile under Allende, was not a Communist state. Even if a Marxist-Leninist Party dominates the country, it is not a "Communist state" until you have a new constitution set up according to Leninist principles. Some Communist parties operate within the framework of existing government structures. This is a strategic decision on their part depending on the context in which they are operating. If the Communist Party USA, for example, won every local, state, and national election in 2004, the United States would not officially be a "Communist state." It would be the same "federal republic" that it has been since 1789.
Yes, at times this can be meaningless in reality. But in an article on the "Communist state," we are not writing about the histories of all Communist states. The same goes for "monarchy." In the article on "monarchy," we are not writing the histories of all monarchial regimes. 
Did they stop teaching all this at the high school level these days? So many readers see an article on government types and want and confuse it with the histories of the Soviet Union and Chile, for crying out loud.
I'll list this article on VFD shortly. 172 23:20, 6 Feb 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes there is, but it depends on several things. If it is a free-use image, it can be placed on Wikimedia Commons, and is then useable in the other Wikipedias. On the image page in qestion, you will see that there is a box with the Commons symbol, and several links in the box. Although this one is in Japanese (which I don't read!), one of the links is bolded. Click on that, and it will take you to the Commons page for that pic. Use the filename from the Commons page, and place it in the article as you would any other image. Asd long as there is not another image on English Wiki with that exact filename, the commons file will be automatically copied over to English Wiki, and placed in the article. One thing: if the image is not already on Commons, you'd have to either upload the image to Commons or Englsih Wikipedia. Commons can only be used for free images, so you have to be what license the image is under (which can be difficult if it's in another language). Hope that helps, and if you have any questions about the process, just ask. - BillCJ 06:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
