Talk:The Nature of Things

message: I have created an episode list for The Nature of Things, and now it needs reliable-source references added to establish notability.  The draft copy, which can be edited, is here.  I would happy to do all of the referencing by myself, but my time is limited so I am calling for help from anyone who is interested in helping to get this article added to Wikipedia, and who knows how to edit to Wikipedia's standards (or is willing to learn).  Finding references for The Nature of Things is not difficult - they are available in abundance, and can be easily found using a search engine.  Just select episodes in the list that don't already have references, and search for them by name with the search engine.  Ideally, the references you select should come from independent reliable sources; they should include info about the episode; they should mention that the episode is part of The Nature of Things series, and if we are lucky, the reference will include the broadcast date.  A reference generator tool is available here.  See the raw text (in editor mode) near the bottom of the article for examples of how to add references to this list.

Talk:SmartLink (smart card)

message: Does anyone know if the SmartLink card will also be used on the NYC transit system, or is the MTA pursuing their own smart card?  Right now, MTA is testing smart card system with a 6 month trial with Mastercard's Paypass. If both transit systems use the same card, it would be a lot more convenient as well as cost-efficient for riders to have only one unified card to be used in the NY-NJ metropolitan area.

message: At a meeting on February 7, 2007 of the PATH riders council, it was announced that the distribution of the Senior SmartLink card previously slated for August 2006 and the October 2006 has commenced in February 2007.  This is due to ongoing problems with the software 
package they purchased.
If all goes well then the full-roll out may happen sometime around June 2007.

thread_title: SmartLink program delayed

message: I sent an email to PATH with a couple of questions:
1)  What is the maximum amount of value/trips that can be put on the card?
The response:  "The maximum amount you can reload to a SmartLink Card is 140 Trips. You can load two 40 trips, two 20 trips, and two 10 trips. Which provide 140 Trips."
This equals $182 @ 1.30 per trip.
2)  If someone has a card with trips on it, do they have to get a new card if they want to take advantage of the unlimited trip options?
The response:  "When you add the unlimited pass the unlimited pass will take over. The trips do not expire so  if your unlimited pass expires the trips will be available for use."

Talk:National Book Critics Circle

message: As of 1/25, the only listed award winners of the National Book Critics Circle Award are those who won for Poetry. This seems highly negligent, seeing as how there are eight categories in all: Fiction, General Nonfiction, Biography, Autobiography, Criticism, Poetry, the Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award and the Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing. I suggest listing the past winners in a similar manner as the website lists them, namely by year.  I aim to also add additional history about the organization and how the books are nominated. It may also be necessary to split the articles in the future, but that will be a while yet. Any opinions/additions would be highly welcome. María: (habla ~ cosas)  17:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Infusion (roller coaster)

message: It has come to my attention that the statistics posted on www.rideinfusion.com appear to contradict the statistics provided by RCDB. I believe that the stats at www.rideinfusion.com appear to be hyped in the same way that the stats for the PMBO were back when it was first built. PMBO was marketed at being 235 feet tall (measured from water level), while it is in reality only 213 feet tall (from ground level), making a difference of 22 feet. BPB's marketing site says that Infusion is 40m tall (131.2ft). The height of a standard SLC is 109 feet, which is also a 22ft difference. In conclusion, Infusion is 131.2 feet above water level, but not ground level. The speed measurement is just a mis-calculation--WillMcC 22:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, Blackpool has a rather annoying way of measuring things.  (I don't mean the metric system.)  Height is measured from sea level, and speed is measured by the theoretical speed of a mass falling from the maximum height of the ride (again from sea level).  Both measurements exaggerate.

Talk:Dominic Barberi

message: This is a good start article.  It is divided into well-usable sections, and is wiki-linked.  However, most of the article content is cut and pasted from Catholic Encylcopedia, and should be re-written in the editors own words.  A picture in the info box would also be helpful.  There is one in-text citation, which is a move in the right direction; continue looking for other sources, add more citations, and re-write the Cath. Enc. material in your own words. Be aware when using Cath Enc material directly without editing or re-writing, that there have been problems with POV in the past with such material.  -- Pastordavid 17:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Operational calculus

message: This article is very incomplete. You should have a lager article that shows a fuller scope of operational calculus
I have added a very rough sketch of what Heaviside's operators are, and mentioned briefly some of
the rules to compute the action of operators on functions. I have also mentioned connections
to Laplace transformation and fractional calculus and the applications of the method in electrical
engineering. I have added a list of references, most of them available on the Internet that may 
help to flesh out this article.

thread_title: Sources contribution

message: I have removed the example of functional calculus, despite the fact that it was present from the very start of this article. The reason is that the example is, unfortunately, incomprehensible in its present form. Here is the example in question:
(start of example) 
An example of this calculus is given below:
Problem: 
 L(2n) = L^2(n) + 2\times(-1)^{n+1}
Solution:
\left(e^D+e^{-D}\right)F(n)=e^{nD}-(-1)^ne^{-nD}
For function F(a) we have:
\left[F(a+1)+F(a-1)\right]F(n)=F(a+n)-(-1)^nF(a-n)
or
L(a) F(a)=F(a+n)-(-1)^nF(a-n)
for a=2n and F(3n)=\left[L^2(n)+(-1)^{n+1}\right]F(n)
L(2n)=L^2(n)+2\times(-1)^{n+1}
(end of example)
What is the statement of the problem? Is it to solve the functional equation for L(x)? If so, what is the solution of the problem? The solution should ideally be written as “L(x)= an explicit expression involving only known quantities”; no such statement appears in the write-up. What is the nature of the function F(x)? Is it an operator? What does it have to do with L(x)?
If anyone understands what this example is supposed to be saying, please rewrite it, with explanations. Reuqr (talk) 03:07, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

message: In fact, per the latest Carniege Ratings,  LTU holds a rating of "R3," which is defined as a "Doctoral University with moderate research activity." So, Allison Foley, kindly provide valid evidence to support this claim that you are making to the contrary.  If no evidence is forthcoming than the article needs to be modified to more accurately reflect the true ranking of the university. Thanks!
:::Update:  as of this date LTU is a "Tier 2" university per the USNWR study.  This, along with having the lowest Carneige research ranking possible ("R3") confirms that in no way can LTU be considered either a "top tier research" univeristy, or even just a "top tier university.'  It is, however, a 'national university" as per both by the La BOR, as well as Carniege & USNWR.  
:::In conclusion the evidence is overwhelming that the article's original assessement classifying it is as a "Top Tier" university is in fact biased and needs to be corrected to more accuratly reflect the reality of the university's standing.https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/louisiana-tech-university-2008  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pncomeaux (talk • contribs) 16:41, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

message: I read the entire article today. I think it is superb. Kudos to whoever did the rewriting and editing. It's a factually accurate, objectively cold account of the 1980 to 1985 military operations in and around the Panjshir. The piece is very well written; the sentences are concise without being vague or over-general. The paragraphs provide just enough substantiation to the main points without being overwritten or overparticular (as many Wiki articles, lamentably). The 3D map is very helpful too.
