Talk:Mount Caubvick

message: Why, again, is this at Caubvick? Googling English sites, one get 979 hits for "Mount Caubvick", 785 for "Mt Caubvick", whereas an English-language search for "Mont d'Iberville" turns out 18 100 results, which is something like a 10:1 ratio. Given that both names have official recognition (eg, they both come up in the geographic database of the federal government), and that both names are official, I fail to see why the far less commonly used name is the one that Wikipedia uses for its article title. Either way, the statement that the name "Mont d'Iberville" is an alternate name specific to Quebec is highly dubious (particularly as its the older name)--Guillaume Hébert-Jodoin (talk) 19:12, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is probably called Mount Caubvick because the summit of the mountain is located in Labrador, where Caubvick is the official name. Maybe you just haven't traveled to the right locations in Canada to hear anyone call it Mount Caubvick. Also, Google search results aren't the best ways to back up information on Wikipedia. —Reelcheeper (talk) 03:51, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The Guardian has an article (22-June_2023) which mentions an ecological collapse of the Lake as an established fact (and important sudden event).

It's possible, perhaps, tht what our article records is the same event? - but if so, and the Guardian article is from any sort of true-&-fair stance, our article is severely deemphasising it and needs a very different POV.

Talk:Professional baseball in Taiwan

message: Folks, IIRC there have been two professional baseball leagues. At least it was so in 2001. Regretfully I don't know the current situation. But until 2001
-First a professional league was settled.
-Because of the reason I forget another league was settled. Then there were two leagues and 10 teams. Those two league had no relationship, nor game between themselves.
-Then a nationwide financial problem occured and both leagues faced a financial problem.
-In a bigger league a scandal occured like Blacksox case. At last two teams disappeared.

Talk:Edgeworth series

message: In this article as it originally appeared, the statement of the central limit theorem was wrong.  The error was copied from the cited 1958 paper.  Here is a simple counterexample:  Suppose X1 = 0 or 1, each with probability 1/2, and Xi = 0 with probability 1.  Then the expression that was asserted to approach the normal c.d.f. does not.  I have inserted the additional hypothesis that the sum of the variances diverges to infinity. Michael Hardy 02:34, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

message: I think the definition of n in Edgeworth (after Gram-Charlier) is confusing. It says that the two are the same thing except that Edgeworth is grouped by powers of n, but GC has no n at all.  What would it even mean to follow the GC derivation and then group it by n part way through when there is no n.  After many reads, my best understanding is that n is the number of these iid variables summed together that we are trying to estimate the cdf and pdf of.  So, n would usually be set to 1 I would think??????  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.182.7.143 (talk) 22:24, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Spy: The Funny Years, p. 9:
That voice, improvised as we went along, was a hash of H.L. Mencken and A.J Liebling and Wolcott Gibbs from the ’20s, ’30s, and ’40s; parody-Time-ese of the ’40s and ’50s; New Journalism of the ’60s and ’70s; Private Eye, the scabrous (and much jokier) British fortnightly; and the ways we just happened to write.
A Washington Post article of 1986.02.13 is quoted (p. 23) as saying “E. Graydon Carter and... Kurt Anderson have been among the ranks of those yearning for an irreverent publication on the order of Britain’s naughty Private Eye.” 
P. 37: “Spy’s tone was in place from the start, a little bit of Americanized Private Eye, some updated 1930s New Yorker, a lot Graydon, and a lot Kurt.”
I don’t feel like looking up any more references in this, a firsthand account of Spy’s formation. It was never a copy of Private Eye. Influenced by, sure. But not a copy.

Talk:Allegations against Sathya Sai Baba

message: I like the way you have handled this and taken care of those references by putting them over here where they belong and not cluttering the main SS Baba page with them.
I suggest you transfer the paragraph beginning "The Dutch scholar Alexander Nagel" to the main Sathya Sai Baba article, because the content of this para seems to belong with SS Baba's claims about himself. I would put it after the "He can be seen in person" paragraph of "Practices".
I would be interested to know why you think readers need a long discussion of the allegations against SS Baba, as I would have thought most people simply want to know who he is, what he does, what he teaches etc rather than the opinions of a handful of disaffected ex-devotees. For comparison, Wikipedia discusses Jesus Christ but doesn't give 1/3 of the words to those who say the Crucifixion never happened.
