Talk:Blueberry muffin

message: I wrote this as a response to a thread on TAUniverse (11-3-2004).  http://www.tauniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28676
Someone took it and posted it here.  I was amused.  It is not a very good encyclopedia article, but it probably can work fine with revisions.

Talk:Social networking

message: I arrived at Social networking from a link in the article Karrimor, in which the context was the discussion of the practice of social networking as a business technique during the mid to late 20th century. I did not expect to be linked to an article describing online social media platforms.
It seems that the Social networking article was originally about the concept of social networking as a social phenomenon, distinct from but facilitated by online platforms. Then, it gradually became more of a discussion about online social networking platforms before being redirected; first to the Social and Behavioural Science concept of a Social network and then to the article about social networking services. There was also at one time a sort of disambiguation that referred to Workplace networking.
I would change the link in the Karrimor article to point to the most appropriate article, but none of the existing articles seem to fit. None of them is discussing social networking as a human behaviour that is exploited for business purposes, in a way that acknowledges that it is not purely a phenomenon of the Internet age. Digital marketing, Social media marketing and Enterprise social networking are perhaps closer to the mark, but again they do not really acknowledge any pre-Internet practices.

Talk:Governor-General of South Africa

message: With the way the "Monarch" and "Prime Minister" columns are set up, they are misleading, because they make it look as if the Monarchs and Prime Ministers changed at the same time as Governors-General. For example, the Earl of Clarendon was viceroy under George V, Edward VIII and George VI, but there is no way of telling that from the table. Similarly, Smuts's first term started during the office of Viscount Buxton, not during that of Prince Arthur as the table would seem to imply. - htonl (talk) 00:15, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem with Monarch and Prime Minister columns 

message: It is true that the Governor-General was formally the representative of the monarch and not himself the head of state. However, under the Union various powers were directly vested in the Governor-General and not in the monarch: for example the appointment of cabinet members; the summoning, prorogation and dissolution of Parliament; and the appointment of delimitation commissions. When South Africa became a republic, the powers of the monarch and the powers of the Governor-General were both merged in the State President. Section 3 of the Republic of South Africa Constitution Act provided:
In other words, the State President was the legal successor of the monarch and also the legal successor of the Governor-General. - htonl (talk) 06:27, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

message: A correct translation for wai is 'fresh water', not 'water'. Paradoxaly, because tears are somewhat salted, wai CAN be used for tears cf. marquesan : vaimata but the common word is roimata (also in tahitian, cook island maori). In one of the explanation, it is implied that 'mata' means face, which is true, but more frequently 'eye(s)'. Conclusion, if it were about the tears, it would be roimata, or waimata. Wainuiomata is more probably about the river OF someone called Mata or about eyes in the river, gasp. stefjourdan  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.47.106.146 (talk) 01:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: Off the cuff, I couldn't find any source explicitly saying that there infinitely many factorial primes. But my feeling is, that is the case. Primorial primes figure in Euclid's proof of the infinity of primes, and perhaps this could be extended to cover factorial primes as well. PrimeFan 21:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: As far as I know, all we have in this matter are heuristic arguments, which strongly favor an infinitude of factorial primes.

thread_title: Prime deserts

message: Does it make sense to have an "argument" that 1 is not a prime?  Whether or not 1 is prime is more a question of the definition of a prime, i.e. whether or not a unit is admissible as a prime or not.  We normally exclude units from the set of primes, because to do otherwise would unnecessarily complicate the statements of a large number of theorems, including the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.  The fact that "n!+p is composite when p is prime and <=n" is just one more example of a statement that is more simply stated when units are excluded from the set of primes -- but I would not say this is part of an "argument" that 1 is not prime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.212.175.30 (talk) 19:42, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lou Reed

message: Removal of the outside reference # 58 and the line from that reference which is here included in quotation marks: 
Reed married Bettye Kronstad in 1973. "She later said he had been a violent drunk when on tour.[58]"
I seriously doubt the only thing to say about Bettye Kronstad other than that Reed married her is this very negative comment that has been chosen to represent his first wife, which is patently offensive. The woman supported him emotionally, personally and professionally as his confident, muse and best friend, as well as the first love he married. There are several songs Reed wrote where she is mentioned or referred to including, most obviously "Perfect Day," which he wrote for her after they spent a day together, about which Reed specifically commented in an interview when asked who/what the song was about. His reply was that the song was about a guy and the girl and a day they spent together in so many words. Obviously, Reed loved and cared about her a great deal, and considering how long she stayed with him and through one of the most turbulent periods of his life, it is offensive that this should be her only mention -- that she called him a violent drunk when on tour. Even if she did say that, it was in response to a question, and the quote is being cherry picked. Kronstad wrote a memoir entitled PERFECT DAY about their five year relationship and there's plenty of quotes where she says incredibly beautiful, sensitive and moving things about him as a person, a writer and a musician/performer, let alone the newspaper articles she has written and is quoted saying very beautiful things about her first husband as an artist and a person. 
Please remove this offensive inclusion, and if you'd like me to make a suggestion as to what you could replace it with, you can contact me at my email address, which you have with my registration.
Thank you!
