Talk:East Kent

message: Surely the whole thing is now a somewhat fanciful idea, kept alive by the Association of Men of Kent and Kentish Men!!!!! I have rewritten the article in line with the West Kent one to make this less like saying that it exists: beyond the Association, and local newspapers, who cares?

thread_title: Fanciful idea!

message: Noticed you've put East Kent and West Kent in :Category:Former administrative counties. I'm not sure what formerly constitutes a "former administrative county" but I'm pretty certain that there never was a East or West Kent in the administrative sense (as there was with East and West Suffolk for example) since the distinction between East and West Kent in an administrative sense had disappeared by the time the KCC was set up (late Victorian era sometime).

Talk:Visqueen (band)

replies: text: "Visquine" is a misspelling of "Visqueen". This article needs to be moved to Visqueen (band).  Then, Visqueen needs to be deleted, following by moving Visquine to Visqueen.  Doing it that way will preserve editing histories and talk pages and will leave a redirect from "Visquine" to "Visqueen".  However, before doing this, a snapshot of the "What links here" page needs to be taken, to update all the current relevant links to "Visqueen", as they would point to the plastic film, instead of the band as intended. At the moment, the "What links here" list consists of the following. —QuicksilverT @ 20:44, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Primitive semiperfect number

message: The article defines primitive semiperfect numbers as natural numbers with no semiperfect proper divisors. It seems to me that this implies that 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14 (but not 12) are all primitive semiperfect numbers. What is wrong? -- Jitse Niesen 14:56, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Tower City Center

message: I'm having a bit of difficulty with the wording of this entry.  While I understand how Tower City Center is a name that can be applied to the entire redevlopment, Terminal Tower is still Terminal Tower - one piece of the whole.
Wouldn't it more sense to introduce section headers that break out Terminal Tower (skyscraper) and then Tower City (entire complex)? user: stude62 talk:stude62 16:53, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  It seems to me that in regular usage, when people say "Terminal Tower" they mean something different than Tower City Center, and in fact vice versa.  People who work in the office tower rarely say they work at "Tower City" and those that work in the mall aren't likely to say they work at "Terminal Tower."  I guess my feeling is that the two names aren't interchangrable and therefore it may be misleading to say that "Tower City Center is also known as Terminal Tower" or to even say that "Tower City Center...is a landmark skyscraper," when most consider the tower to be the skyscraper and Tower City Center to be a shopping center and transit hub. 69.171.46.152 05:24, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Obviously, the Terminal Tower is a part of Tower City Center/Cleveland Union Terminal. If you want to add more details about the tower, why not put include them in this article, instead of creating more confusion by splitting it up across multiple pages?

Talk:Volkswagen

message: Take this passage from the post-war paragraph.
 In 1949, Major Hirst left the company—now re-formed as a trust controlled by the West German government and government of the State of Lower Saxony. The "Beetle" sedan or "peoples' car" Volkswagen is the Type 1.
The transition between the first sentence and the second about the Beetle is terribly abrupt. The verb tense inexplicably changes from past to present, it's not explained where the Beetle came from, or why it's called Type 1. And who ever called the Beetle "peoples' car Volkswagen"? Is that supposed to be "people's car", and not "peoples' car"? That's the translation of the Volkswagen name. Was it also a nickname of the Type 1? Kumagoro-42 (talk) 05:46, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  New logo for VW 

message: I was born a German and had a look here as to how much we owe the existence of VW to government involvement in this car business. I remember when VW was privatised, in the 1960s, so I figured it must have been in public ownership before. 
It comes up often these days that there is a project which is not just nice but kind of necessary but does not get off the ground because the private sector will not do it or demands so much in grants that it gets canned. This paralyses progress so I found it interesting to read about the various government involvements. Government involvement and taxpayer funds are necessary to move things forward. If you wait for the private sector to get their act together, the bridges crumble - or the car factory never gets off the ground. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:B4C6:5D47:A9B0:AB45 (talk) 06:48, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Histogram

message: The article would benefit from mentioning the many valid points of criticism of the histograms. Also there lacks some information on the uncertainty of the histogram. It would be fair to mention some alternatives to histograms (e.g. empirical cdfs, kernel density estimates) Troelspedersen80 (talk) 14:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of histograms 

message: One of the figure shows the effect of choosing different bin counts for the same data, and the labels say "Bin width = 3", "Bin width = 8" and "Bin width = 29". First, it is not 8 but 6. Second, it is not the width of the bins which are set to 3, 8 and 29 but their number. So they should say "Bins = 3", etc. Andras Vanyolos (talk) 18:16, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong figure caption 

message: The reference to Excel using the square root rule is quite old. Recent versions of Excel, since 2016, use Scott's rule https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/create-a-histogram-85680173-064b-4024-b39d-80f17ff2f4e8#bkmk_scottrefrule. Furthermore, the reference currently provided is not to official documentation, just to some notes by an economist which says "The general rule Excel uses is equal-width intervals with the number of intervals approximately equal to the square root of the number of data points." but there is no reference given to any Excel documentation here either, nor demonstration that Excel did use this rule in 2007. The documentation to legacy versions which would be relevant does not mention what rule is used to select the number of bins https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/create-a-histogram-85680173-064b-4024-b39d-80f17ff2f4e8. I propose simply deleting this section, since using the square root of the number of datapoints is unmotivated by any theoretical consideration and doesn't seem to have actually been used as claimed.

Talk:Natural justice

message: It refers to the two fundamental requirements for a fair trial: nemo iudex in causa sua (noone may be a judge in his own cause) and audi alteram partem (you must hear both sides of the case).  Being part of English common law developed before 1776, these two principles are also part of U.S. law.
I added a sentence near the front to this effect with a link to a new articles principles of natural justice.
This is a temporary fix.  The two articles should be merged, with the material in this article reorganised to show how the various points made fall under one or the other of the two principles of natural justice.WurzelT (talk) 23:45, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge discussion 

message: I keep an eye out for Anglo-Saxon equivalents to the French/Continental concept of principes généraux du droit and I recently spotted this:
ECJ, Case 17/74, Transocean Marine Paint Association v. Commission
[1974] ECR 1063; [1974] 2 CMLR 459
At the start of the second paragraph of the Opinion of the Advocate General:
It is considered to be a 'rule of natural justice', a somewhat flamboyant and sometimes criticized phrase embodying a concept akin to what is, in French-speaking, countries, more soberly and, I think, more accurately, referred to as 'les principes généraux du droit'.
After reading the intro to this article, I'm not so sure if the two concepts are really akin, but I wanted to note it here anyway.  Maybe someone else knows more. Gronky (talk) 15:10, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

message: A chronically deficient concept, from my perspective. I think persons have a right to know the identity of their accuser. A right to know the evidence 
 [the principal evidence at least] being brought against one, in advance of hearing. A right to know the charges to be answered. A right to not be arraigned, tried, sentenced or imprisoned in secrecy. None of these things is protected necessarily, as I understand it, under English Common Law. They ought to be.
