Talk:Asymptotic freedom

message: It is within the realm of possibility that asymptotic freedom is an ad hoc theory. It may have been created purposefully in order to explain experimental findings.Lestrade 16:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, QCD certainly was, but asymptotic freedom flows naturally from the theory of renormalization groups (pun intendend), which are well understood and not ad-hoc at all. Perhaps read some papers by Wilson of Wilson loop fame.--Lionelbrits 14:30, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: For this (purpose)

message: There is a chapter in Frank Close's book, based on interviews with all three of Gross, Politzer, and Wilczek, that gives a lively history of the development of this theory. 
In the summer of 1973, after the initial papers all had been published, Sidney Coleman (thesis advisor to David Politzer) lectured as usual at the Erice Summer School. Frank Wilczek, who had turned 22 in May 1973, and who had married  me on July 3, 1973, left for Erice on July 4, 1973, where he served as the "secretary" for Sidney's lectures. Frank won the prize that summer as "best student," so his airfare and all fees were paid for. When I learned this, I said, "If we had known this would happen, we could have afforded for me to got to Erice with you." Frank said, "Betsy, if you had been there, I would never have won that prize." He is probably right! I imagine the lecture notes from that particular summer school would also be a useful resource on the history of this topic.
"Asymptotic freedom," as a description of quark interactions, is a term coined by Sidney Coleman. Sidney had a bigger vocabulary than any 5 normal people of your common acquaintance, but in later years he jokingly said to Frank, "I did you a bad turn when I suggested that name." What would have been better, I wonder, in an era of god particles and theories of everything? Left as an exercise to the reader.  betsythedevine (talk) 02:12, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hot Stuff (I Want You Back) 

message: As the article "The Pussycat Dolls" has been renamed to "Pussycat Dolls", would it be worth moving this template to a new name or not? Acalamari 20:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To clarify, I think we should move this template to "Template: Pussycat Dolls" for consistency, as I believe all other articles relating to the Pussycat Dolls have been moved to drop the "The". I can perform the move and clear up, I just want to know if it's a good idea or not. Acalamari 16:48, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia:Naming conventions says nothing about including or excluding the word The when it is at the start of group names, so I see no problem with the move if it's to establish consistency with the titles of the other Dolls-related pages. It appears that The is used in the group's promotional materials and on their record covers (e.g. :Image:PCDalbum.jpg), so maybe we should ask at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions if the relevant pages should be moved back from "Pussycat Dolls" to "The Pussycat Dolls". Extraordinary Machine 17:49, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the response; I'm not very experienced with the naming conventions, and therefore, try to keep out of moves. I just looked the log for Pussycat Dolls, and it seems it was originally Journalist who renamed the page. Maybe it'll be worth asking him to join this discussion before posting at Wikipedia talk: Naming conventions? Acalamari 17:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a case of avoiding the definite article ("the") at the beginning of the page name, as per WP Naming conventions. "The" wouldn't be in running text in any article about the Pussycat Dolls (see? :-)), and even their later material has now abandoned it's use: :Image:PCD - Wait A Minute single cover.jpg, :Image:When I Grow Up.jpg, :Image:I Don't Need A Man single cover.jpg. However, it's not something I have a huge issue with, so I won't have a problem if it's changed back. But we should be consistent with the template as well. Orane (talk) 18:38, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the response, and your move makes sense: I think this should be moved to "Template:Pussycat Dolls" to be consistent with everything else. Regarding the "The" however, I have noticed that PCD have dropped the "The" several times, such as on their covers, and even my 2007 PCD calendar just said "Pussycat Dolls" rather than "The Pussycat Dolls".

Talk:Role of women in religion

message: I believe that there should be a main page (women in religion) in witch there is an overview of at least the main religions and the rights, and obligations of the woman according to these religions. From here a link may depart to "women in muslim societies" for the muslim religion.
In the Bible there are many (woman-unfriendly) passages about women, yet these are not yet discribed in wikipedia. (an example is exodus: in here it is stated that the woman is created out of the rib of a man.) It would be sad if this is not mentioned in wikipedia and if all attention is set on the muslim religion's role of the female.

Talk:Takenaka Corporation

message: I suggest to revert the name of this article to Takenaka Corporation, or rename to Takenaka Corp. because;
#"Takenaka" is one of common Japanese surnames such as Heizo Takenaka, Masahisa Takenaka, Naoto Takenaka. That's why I think the word "Corporation" or "Corp." is essential to clarify that this article describes the company of "Takenaka Corporation" (Takenaka Komuten; 竹中工務店). The same can be said for;
#*Hazama, which refers to Hazama Corporation (Hazama Gumi; 間組)
#*Obayashi, which refers to Obayashi Corporation (Obayashi Gumi; 大林組), ref. Talk:Obayashi
#*Shimadzu, which refers to Shimadzu Corporation (Shimadzu Seisakusho; 島津製作所), ref. Talk:Shimadzu See also;
#*Kubota Corporation (Kubota; クボタ, originally in Kanji 久保田)
#*Mizuno Corp. (Mizuno; ミズノ, originally in Kanji 水野)
#*Sumitomo Corp. (Sumitomo Shoji; 住友商事)
#*Kajima Corporation (Kajima Kensetsu; 鹿島建設)
#*Shimizu Corporation (Shimizu Kensetsu; 清水建設)
#In addition in this case, the word "Corporation" does not exactly indicate the official legal status of the company, because almost all companies of Japan are classified into Kabushiki kaisha irrespective of the company's name in English (e.g. "Corporation", "Inc.", "Co., Ltd." and "Limited"). --J o 17:35, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: If you have a C*-algebra, you have a complex vector space, so what does one mean by a nonnegative complex number? Given the ordering of the C*-algebra described in C*-algebras#Properties of C*-algebras, is there reason to think all linear functionals on a C*-algebra send all self-adjoint elements of the algebra to real numbers? Whatever's going on, it's not explicit, but it's relied upon in the terminology of State (functional analysis), which uses the term positive linear functional without seeming to use that as a synonym for what it calls a self-adjoint linear functional. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 11:53, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: From the fact that in these course notes, pg 15, preservation of adjoints is considered a lemma and not an axiom, I gather that what is assumed for complex algebras is either that all elements in an ordered subspace go to real numbers or all positive elements of the ordered subspace go to nonnegative real numbers. ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 08:57, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

message: This template does not handle the '12 hour gap' on Julian dates. It treats 00:00:01 through 11:59:59 of Thursday as still being Wednesday.
It is currently Julian date 2453866.91806... 10:03 UTC Thursday, May 11 2006. However, this template evaluates  to  (2 at time of writing)... which is Wednesday. Julian days roll over at noon, but weekday names roll over at midnight. Thus, to calculate the weekday name (or number) from a Julian date you need to add 0.5 (12 hours) to the Julian date value. Currently everything from 2453866.5 to 2453866.999999 is incorrectly treated as being Wednesday rather than Thursday. Presumably the +/- 6.5 logic in the template is somehow meant to deal with this in conjunction with the possibility of negative values... but it isn't working. --CBDunkerson 10:10, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
