Talk:Guy Fawkes

message: Sorry, I’m new to this.
The assertion that Guy Fawkes is viewed as a martyr etc “especially amongst a minority of Catholics in the United Kingdom” is absurd and unsupported by the source linked to. Some Catholics may feel a discomfort about the history of it all, but there is no difference in attitude towards him by Catholics or others. All that V for Vendetta mask stuff has nothing but nothing to do with Catholicism, and suggesting otherwise is divisive. Jimquk (talk) 07:50, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Catholic Martyr? 

message: When Guy Fawkes died, it 2 centuries before London started growing; there were no police districts nor postal districts to refer Westminster as London that time. Westminster was a parish in 1605, so it is more like Guy Fawkes being dead at Westminster, Middlesex. LDas12345 (talk) 19:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Neolithic architecture

message: Regarding this statement: "The people of the Americas and the Pacific remained at the Neolithic level of technology up until the time of European contact, including very small exceptions (a few copper hatchets and spear heads in the Great Lakes region).[citation needed]"
I might be misunderstanding it, my English is pretty basic. But I think is not right, according to this:

Indigenous South Americans had full metallurgy with smelting and various metals being purposely alloyed. Some of them might be considered Bronze age technologies.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.28.245.98 (talk) 17:27, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

message: In "Computation" section, the following text...
"Furthermore, (x+c)^2 \approx x^2 + 2xc when  is close to 0, because the tangent line to the graph of x^2 + 2xc + c^2 at c = 0, as a function of  alone, is y = 2xc + x^2. Thus, small adjustments to  can be planned out by setting 2xc to , or c = \frac{a}{2x}."
Should be replaced with...
"Furthermore, (x+c)^2 \approx x^2 + 2xc when  is close to 0, because the tangent line to the graph of x^2 + 2xc + c^2 as a function of  alone, evaluated at c = 0,  is y = 2x. Thus, small adjustments to  can be planned out by setting 2xc to a - x^2, or c = \frac{a - x^2}{2x}."
...and this because the partial derivative of f(x,c) = x^2 + 2xc + c^2 w.r.t.  is \frac{df(x,c)}{dc} = 2x + 2c, and \frac{df(x,c)}{dc} = 2x at c = 0. And that is why we can do the first order approximation (x+c)^2 \approx x^2 + 2xc when  is close to 0. Then, considering that  is the estimation at step , we choose  such that the estimation  at step n+1 is (x_n+c)^2 \approx a, which leads to c = \frac{a - x_n^2}{2x_n}.

Talk:Schleitheim Confession

message: "The Schleitheim Confession was endorsed unanimously by a meeting of Swiss Amabaptists in 1527 in Schleitheim, Switzerland. "
:This doesn't answer the most basic question of all: What was it? --mav
I've added in the 7 articles of the confession. Perhaps a short description of each could be added too... --Colemanyee 03:03, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: The Confession itself does not make any use of the term regeneration and so it should not be used in this article on it. The focus is on discipleship "Baptism shall be given to all those who have been taught repentance", outward demonstration of following Christ "the amendment of life" and profession of faith "and [who] believe truly that their sins are taken away through Christ" or to those who profess that they want to be disciple, "to all those who desire to walk in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and be buried with Him in death". While today there is a requirement for a profession of faith, which would be closer to regeneration, but still not quite that term. This understanding does not fall into any traditional Western faith tradition instead focusing on Harold Bender would call  and most closely called discipleship in English.

According to NASA's website, which has the tape available for viewing, the actual break-up did not begin until about 4 minutes after the tape ended; the "flames" were in fact plasma flashes and other artifacts caused by normal reentry.

Talk:Lake St. Clair, North America

message: True or false: There is a reason not to consider this lake one of the Great Lakes BESIDES being small in size.
:True. First of all, part of what makes the 5 Great Lakes "great" is their size -- they are all among the largest lakes in the world -- they aren't "great" because of any other quality. But to go to your guestion, the Great Lakes are as well-defined in common parlance as is New England. Few would argue that New York (especially Long Island) or New Jersey should also be part of New England because they were primarily settled by English Congregationalists in the mid 1600s. Growing up in Michigan (the Great Lake State) we were taught about the five Great Lakes, that you could use the word "HOMES" to remember their names, etc. Lake St. Clair is a much smaller lake, and is never thought of as a "great lake."
Somehow in all the recent moves the actual article went missing.
I restored the article to Lake Saint Clair, North America. I don't really have any strong opinion about what the title should be -- but please make sure that the article is actually there after you're done moving and "fixing" redirects. Bkonrad | Talk 22:26, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Tuen Mun District

message: Except entirely unsourced (which can be fixed, the history book 屯門風物志 should have this section), the section in this wiki article at Tuen Mun District#Places of worship is a good potential candidate to split. The current size of the article is 34,766 bytes, which is in the category "Length alone does not justify division" under WP:split information page. However, the whole section was missing the catholic church as well as protestant church, which can easily pump up the section alone to have disproportionately larger than other section. It can be also acted a pilot article to tessellation of Hong Kong articles which the new target article is the sub-article of Places of worship in Hong Kong instead.

Talk:Moby

message: The most recent category in his Career section is "2016-present: Recent albums and documentary". I think that this is too broad, and would propose to split this up into two parts:
# 2016-2020: Unknown category
# 2020-present: Ambient albums, documentary and revisiting old songs
Where 2016-2020 covers These Systems Are Failing (2016), More Fast Songs About the Apocalypse (2017), Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt (2018), Long Ambients 2 (2019) and All Visible Objects (2020). This is quite a list of albums, and I'm not sure how to group this.
The second category contains Live Ambients - Improvised Recordings Vol. 1 (2020), the documentary Moby Doc (2021), Reprise (2021), Ambient 23 (2023) and Resound NYC (2023). I thought that these could be grouped quite well thematically: there are 2 ambient albums, a documentary and 2 albums that revisit old songs, Reprise and Resound NYC.

Talk:Waiting for the Sun

message: :"Waiting for the sun" deceived many people when it was released in 1968. Why? The doors seemed to have lost a lot of their strengh and imaginativity. Effectively, easy-listening ballads had replaced the epic songs ("The End", "When the Music's Over", "Light my Fire") that made the Doors so original. Nevertheless, the album is filled with very nice tracks such as "Spanish Caravan", "Five to One", "Love Street".

I own all thier albums and this one has always been my favroit.  It seems strange to me that it gets such a bad rep--I mean it is their only album to go #1.  Also, I've never heard that the name was inspired by the Beatles and I'm pretty sure the line is just "sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun" (no "to come").--NewChampion (talk) 09:46, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
