message: Although I myself have criticized the sources the article contained, I am not sure one should delete all of them, as user:Kwamikagami just did. I there are no better sources, one thould in my opinion maintain those which were there, specifying the corrections they call for. As I did for "Mbalundu": This is, in umbundu, the name of the people living in the Bailundo region of the Huambo province, who formerly constituted a "kingdom", and who use umbundu in such a specific way that one can speak of a dialect. -- Aflis (talk) 22:44, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sources 

message: To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever called "Umbundu" simply "Mbundu". Certainly nobody in Angola. Besides, if the article itself is named "Umbundu", that is the name to be maintained throughout the article. NB: In some older and/or less scholarly texts, you can find "Mbundu" as a name for the Akwambundu (= the Kimbundu speaking)  people. On the other hand, the terminology "Northern Mbundu" vs. "Southern Mbundu" is used, exclusively, by a number of English speaking authors.  -- Aflis (talk) 10:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: And ours is an English-speaking audience.  Mbundu is the root, the basis of the name.  The main reason people specify Umbundu is to dab it from Kimbundu.  We certainly don't need to say Umbundu, also known as Umbundu.  — kwami (talk) 19:37, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Mathematical constants by continued fraction representation

message: Hi
Is it possible to get a square root of 3 function to insert in the list? 
Regards
adamlewis1960@yahoo.com.au
: As a first step, one could simply evaluate sqrt(3) on any calculator to give approx. 1.732050808... Then go to an online tool such as this Online Solver for Continued Fractions and enter the approx. decimal value. For the given accuracy, you would obtain [1; 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 8, 1, ...]. However, the final few entries are due to the fact, that the decimal value is approx and not exact. For sqrt(3), the apparent pattern strongly suggests, that the sequence [1, 2] is repeated infinitely. Gulliveig (talk) 06:00, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: Why is there an entry [0;1,1] for the number 1/2? [0;1,1] = 0+1/(1+1/1), but it is clear that this resolves to [0;2] = 0+1/2, which has an entry as well. 
The final 1/1 introduces an absolutely unneeded fraction, which makes the whole entry unneeded. 
However, if there is a reason which escapes me so far, please enlighten me. Gulliveig (talk) 05:38, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Any finite continued fraction ending in a 1: \left[ a_0 ; a_1 , \ldots , a_{n-1} , 1 \right] is equivalent to a continued fraction one element shorter: \left[ a_0 ; a_1 , \ldots , a_{n-1}+1 \right].

Talk:Multiplicity function for N noninteracting spins

message: I changed the σ to an S, which is traditional for entropy. σ is generally reserved for the peak of a statistical plot (such as gaussian) or it can be used to represent standard deviation, but not entropy. Also, in most textbooks, in fact, in all that I've seen for thermodynamics, the equation includes the Boltzmann constant. It is also the multiplicity of a macrostate, which I think needs to be clarified. Multiplicity can refer to other things.
