Talk:Balfour Declaration

message: I recently edited this phrase "the founding document of Mandatory Palestine, which later became Israel and the Palestinian territories" , as I believe it is misleading. Mandatory Palestine did not 'become' anything; the word 'become' suggests a seamless transition, and that one or other of the polities was the natural successor. It was reverted with the edit summary "Not an improvement, "became divided between" (ugh) and there was no "division" anyway".
I have raised this with the responder, who wants the discussion to be here.
So, why is it essential to preserve this form of words, why can we not mention the division of the territory, as we do on other, similar, pages. and in what sense was there 'no division anyway'? Moonraker12 (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Castor

message: Are you sure there is place in Norfolk called Castor? I know there is one called Caister, just north of Great Yarmouth, but not heard of castor... still, I may be wrong. User:203.134.93.132
: From "Norfolk: Caistor St Edmund", an article from William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk (1845), as transcribed by Claire Reeve: "Caistor, though now an inconsiderable village, was at an early period the most flourishing city of the Britons, if not the residence of the Icenian kings. It was an important Roman Station, called Venta Icenorum, afterwards (for the sake of brevity) called Castrum, which the Saxons again altered to Castor." So it looks like just a variant name of Caistor St Edmund to me.

Talk:Finnish Civil War

message: I think it's problematic that there is no discussion in the article about the name of the war, or more broadly: the discoursical side of the war.
From the perspective of the winners, the war was "vapaussota" ("war of liberation"). This discourse was the official narrative in the Finnish Republic after 1918. "Vapaussota" was the origin myth of the Finnish independence and the very Finnish state.
From the losers' pespective it was a civil war ("kansalaissota"), or even better, a class war ("luokkasota"). It was also a failed revolution, a failed rebellion. The class nature of the war was very clear and strongly emphasized by the socialists.
The antagonism between the two narratives, the "white truth" and the "red truth" was a defining feature in the Finnish society and politics for generations.
The consensus of a "civil war" (kansalaissota, nowadays "sisällissota"), presented like here as if it was how contemporary people saw the things, is a much later thing that only started to form in the 1960s. 2001:14BB:670:5912:0:0:2046:B901 (talk) 05:42, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Separable space

message: Hi Fropuff,
I do not think your condensing made the article clearer. You removed my introduction sentence where I tried to give an intuitive explanation for the laymen (or not topologist) in terms of approximation. Furthermore although the ==Definition== section was quite short it was nonetheless useful for the reader as he could immediatly jump the the definition of the concept without scanning the whole article.

thread_title:  Name 

message: These two properties are a bit unclear:
* Every second-countable space is separable.
* A metric space is separable if and only if it is second-countable and if and only if it is Lindelöf.
Clearly a MS is a space so if separable iff second countable; so should the second one not be 
In a Metric space the following are equivalent:
 -- space 2nd countable
 -- space separable
 -- space Lindelof

thread_title:  "non-separable Hilbert spaces in theoretical physics" - TWO COMMENTS. 

message: According to Willard, the property "having a dense subset of cardinality {\aleph}" is a topological property. Thus separability is only a special case of this more general topological property.
I don't know if "having a dense subset of cardinality {\aleph}" for any {\aleph} other than {\aleph_0} is "interesting", but perhaps the more general notion could be mentioned. I would personally be happy to see a non-trivial example that is {\aleph_1}-separable but not {\aleph_0}-separable (= separable). Come to think of it, the Stone-Chech compactification should be able to provide a few examples of {\aleph}-separable spaces.

Talk:Arista Records

message: Removed the description of Milli Vanilli as having been based in "West Germany".  The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG), it's proper name, absorbed the German Democratic Republic ("GDR") in 1989, the year the Wall came down.
And to many people who are too young to remember the fulfilment of Reynaldus Magnus's demand to Mikhail Gorbachev ("Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"), "West" Germany isn't going to mean anything except the geographical.
I also corrected a mistake regarding Whitney Houston's album sales total.  It's nowhere near 200 million copies; the total is actually 54,000,000.  The Beatles have sold more three times as many albums.  The facts can be seen for one's self by checking the RIAA artist sales tally included in the in-text citation.
As for "world-wide" sales this is essentially impossible to tally.  As Rush discovered with the quintuple platinum concert video Rush in Rio, for every album sold in Brazil, at least eight copies were made by the buyer and given to friends, relatives, etc.  Not piracy, per se, but simply because of the poverty down there.  One person can't afford to buy a CD, so he/she and several friends will get together buy it and then make the copies.  Even an ancient PC can make perfect copies of CDs.

message: With all due respects, I certainly think that the article is not neutral and unbiased.  The very characterization of Galizan as a "language" pre-frames the topic.

It was me who introduced earlier changes and some links (I don't know how to sign up, so I just made the changes and left it at that -- the concept of this "wiki" is fascinating but I still don't know exactly how it works).

message: I would remove the sentence "The German population was expelled according to the Benes Decrees in 1945". Before 1945 the German population in Pardubice was quite negligible. Pardubice was neither part of Sudetenland, nor any German linguistic island. Yes, there were some Germans as they were in every Bohemian or Moravian town (similarly, there were some Czechs in every town of Sudetenland). So we would either write that "The German population was expelled after 1945" in every article about Bohemian or Moravian town or we should write it only in article about town which at least possess significant German minority (if not German majority). Pardubice was definitely not a town with significant German minority.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:1028:96CA:4526:56A:7EEB:1EDD:A93 (talk) 20:54, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
