Talk:Centrosymmetric matrix

message: What is the impact of this? Why is this important? —Ben FrantzDale 00:17, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You could have answered your question if you had taken a few seconds to google "centrosymmetric matrix". In any case, lighten up. This article was just created a few hours ago, so it will take a while for the connections with other areas to be added, preferably by experts. It is not reasonable to expect that the first incarnation of an article will explain the larger significance of its subject. Centrosymmetric matrices are primarily of interest in numerical analysis, and also because they occur naturally as the transition matrices of certain types of Markov processes. The reference to Weaver's paper I added a few minutes ago might help you. Michael Kinyon 01:27, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I didn't mean to be curt. I just wanted to encourage someone to add more information. —Ben FrantzDale 02:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You could have said it that way instead of heading the section with "So?". It's better to encourage than provoke. Anyway, I will assume good faith and accept your explanation. And thank you for reminding me that x should be × in the dimensions for matrices. Michael Kinyon 02:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Lost World (1925 film)

message: None of these animals were seen, mentioned, or implied in the film. Please address this. The "Tyrannosaurus" has some validity as we see a large predator (larger than the allosaurus) killing the Aguthamas. These other animals, however, are not in the film

thread_title:  Oviraptor, Elasmosaurus, and Kronosaurus 

message: I was wondering how useful it would be to mention that the dinosaur scenes from this film are frequently used as stock footage in museums, television and film documentaries when the subject is about now-outdated perceptions of dinosaurs' appearance and/or the evolution of such perceptions through time on the basis of better paleobiology. It would be hard to cite and it may be a bit of a stretch.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.160.176.190 (talk) 18:32, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use as Stock Footage 

message: Looking over this article and taking into account the level of significance and how influential the film has been, it's rather sad to see the article in the poor state of underdevelopment. Not only is the article severely underdeveloped, but it is also missing almost all the information about the film including its production (given the rather detailed information that exists on it), theatrical/home media releases, reception, legacy, influences, and rediscovery. The information that IS present in the article is unsourced and poorly written and essentially needs to be rewritten entirely. The problem here is that the sheer volume of information missing from this article would make this a monumental task for just a single person to accomplish (although some editors have been known to accomplish the impossible). What we need here is a group effort to bring this article up to standards and, considering the amount of information that is out there on this film, it could EASILY be placed in FA status if done with all the love and care that it deserves. I would do it myself, but I have neither the skill nor the time to do so. Hopefully the right people come along and give this article the attention it so desperately needs.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:15, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Birmingham and District Premier League

message: This list is far too long. Over 140 names is ridiculous: could someone with knowledge of which of these people played the most significant roles for League clubs please cut it down to a sensible size? I'd have thought 50 should be the absolute maximum, and even then a two-column format would be better. Loganberry (Talk) 00:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The split into England and overseas is some help, but the problem remains. As things stand there's no way to tell who played two games and who played 20 seasons. Really only players with substantial BL careers should be included, and maybe Test players who appeared. :Who is Gus McKay, for example? A Cricinfo search shows nobody called Gus or Angus McKay (unless it was the "A McKay" who played precisely one first-class game over 100 years ago!) People like that should be deleted from the list in any case; I will do so myself very soon unless some evidence of notability is provided. Loganberry (Talk) 06:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, the list is certainly improved now it's been split up into each country's cricketers, so I'll withdraw my opinion that it should be cut down significantly. And I'd fallen into the trap of forgetting Mackay wasn't MacKay, so that explains that. The list still looks terribly unwieldy though, and would benefit greatly from a better layout - and especially from naming which club(s) each man played for. Otherwise it could be seen as unreferenced information and deleted on those grounds: I won't do that, but I suspect someone else would do so eventually. I'm not sure about keeping the three "unofficial" South African men though: they're undeniably not Test or ODI players, so shouldn't really be under a list containing such.

message: This article is POV. Who are you or the BRITISH animal welfare orgs. to judge another culture like that???212.62.51.85 (talk) 17:56, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This article describes a tradition and details some recent reactions to the tradition in a factual manner. It would be great to add more about the ethnographic significance and history of the tradition, and more about how it has evolved in the past two years, if reputable sources can be found to provide that extra information. Wikipedia, and its talk pages, is probably not the most appropriate or effective place to make suggestions to animal welfare organisations nor to protest about their actions. mooncow 21:04, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recent edits 

message: Regarding edits restored via these reverts:
First, I consolidated redundant references. This is a routine, minor formatting issue, but if a single primary source is being used for lengthy promotional details, that's almost always a sign of undue weight, so I also trimmed some of these details to more succinctly summarize this source. If this level of detail belongs, it should be obvious why it matters, and also it should be supported by reliable, independent sources without the use of promotional language such as "leading" and "cutting edge". Using Wikipedia for promotion is not acceptable, obviously.
Right now the article has a significant lack of independent sources. The paper itself should not be used to demonstrate notability, per WP:GNG. Armstrong's blog posts are fine with attribution, but they also do a poor job of explaining why this paper is encyclopedically significant. That means that the SPLC hate group listing is currently the only reliable, independently sourced fact about the newspaper which clearly demonstrates encyclopedic significance. Therefore, this should be presented in both the body, and the lede. Presenting this in a "Criticism" section is reasonable, and unfortunatly common on Wikipedia, but this is not ideal for many, many reasons. WP:CSECTION is a good start, but another way of looking at is this: being a hate group is not incidental to this topics significance, it's currently the most significant thing about it by Wikipedia's flawed standards. Removing this from the lede and placing it in its own subsection at the bottom is downplaying this, which isn't appropriate. Grayfell (talk) 21:14, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Broadway is one of the few streets that does not have a suffix.  It is called BROADWAY, not BROADWAY STREET or BROADWAY AVENUE.  This is probably do to the fact that WAY was the "original" suffix, i.e. NORTH BROAD WAY.  The city (or its contractors) has apparently even made this common mistake, as you can find on some street signs the suffix covered over with green paint.

message: * This article needs refs and proper perspective. Doing a search of the term and "new york times" I did find it used a lot, though with slightly different meanings, especially regarding the scope of ownership. Searches with other WP:RS would surely bring up other uses. So whoever wrote this should source it. Also, you shouldn't list names with out WP:RS per WP:BLP so I've removed that whole section.

message: At the top of the article is a template stating that there are no source citations. The tag was added four and a half years ago and no one has added a citation. The article itself is two brief paragraphs, then a list of names, but there is no actual reason for the article to exist, beyond the fact that it exists. The term "media mogul" on other articles - e.g. Ted Turner - can simply be replaced by the term "business person." On it's own, this article adds nothing and amounts to nothing. Thus, the article itself should be deleted.Catherinejarvis (talk) 16:05, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Much of this article is sheer invention.  Vidugavia called himself the "King of Rhovanion", and Tolkien does use the phrase "Kings of Rhovanion", but there is no evidence that there was a long-lived political entity such as described in this article.  Certainly any independent realm would have been destroyed by the Wainriders, and there is no evidence that it resurfaced. And the term "Rhovanion" never had the restricted meaning implied in this article -- Tolkien used it consistently to refer to the entire area between the Misty Mountains and the Sea of Rhûn.
