message: When Buffy visits the First Slayer in the desert, she says something like:
* "You are full of love"

* "Death is your gift"

Talk:Gershgorin circle theorem

message: shouldn't \lambda=0 also lie in one disc ?
: Not necessarily, because the discs are centered at the diagonal elements, not at zero.  So, the great implication of the theorem is that if the diagonal elements are large enough, i.e. the matrix is suitably diagonally dominant, then the discs do not contain zero, so there is no zero eigenvalue, i.e. the matrix is invertible.
: Also keep in mind that IF a number lambda is in a disc, it does not mean it's an eigenvalue; rather, if lambda is an eigenvalue, then it's in one of the discs. -- Lavaka (talk) 17:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Eigenvalue 0 

message: I think the theorem has a stronger statement, which is roughly like this:
Take the discs D_i and join all overlapping discs and call these E_j.  Then precisely as many eigenvalues lie inside E_j as the number of discs that compose E_j.
Note that this is a weaker claim than saying that each disc D_i contains one eigenvalue.  
I'll see if I can find the source of this stronger version. 
Also, it should be obvious, but it's probably worth pointing out on the main page, that the radii of the disc,
Ri = ∑j ≠ i |aij|, can easily be defined as 
Ri = ∑j ≠ i |aji| as well (i.e. either row or column sum works).

thread_title:  stronger statement of theorem 

message: In the example, can't you get a better estimate for the eigenvalues by taking the column sums in the last two cases? It would seem to decrease the radius, at least.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.120.14.104 (talk) 14:21, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Someone added "Note that we can improve the accuracy of the last two discs by applying the formula to the corresponding columns of the matrix, obtaining D(2,1.2) and D( − 11,2.2)." to the example.

Talk:Crush (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

message: The article is well written, however, the plot synopsis seems to be too long for just one episode of a show.

thread_title:  Plot Synopsis
Talk:I Was Made to Love You

message: Many of the other episodes I've read on Wikipedia note the significance to the overall plot arc.  This article doesn't seem to note very much, and yet, while the plot isn't that vital, it's an insightful commentary on surrounding episodes.  Obviously it hits on Buffy's "need" for boyfriends she's not right for or not ready for, but it also seems to hit on Spike's feelings for Buffy (e.g., the bit about the robot trying so hard to be perfect only to be rejected).  First, is there a good way to add this to the page?  Second, is there an external site that discusses it, to which we might add a link?  (I'm not familiar with the Buffy fandom sites/forums/etc., or I'd hunt one down myself.)  Thanks.  Kilyle 10:25, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hell's Bells (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

message: Under "Production Details" in the "Writing" section, there's a notation saying a citation is needed to corroborate Rebecca Rand Kirshner reveals in her DVD commentary of this episode that Anya's reference to herself as a "sex poodle" was a reference to colleague Jane Espenson who had been using the name herself. I got confirmation in Twitter via Jane Espenson that Rebecca Kirshner called her "sex poodle" during production of series. Jane Espenson said true. Rebecca did call me sex poodle. I took it to be ironic as I am not especially sexy nor poodled. However, I leave it to The Powers That Be who run Wikipedia as to whether or not this is sufficient for your rules.

Talk:Gibbs state

message: Actually what is given here is not the definition of a Gibbs state, even though stationary distributions of a Markov chain often turn out to be Gibbsian. A gibbs state is  particular type of random field with a kind of generalized Markovian structure. A definition of a Gibbs measure (in the case of lattice models) is given on the page on "Gibbs random fields".
I think that there should be a single page for "Gibbs state", "Gibbs measure", "Gibbs random field" (and others ?), as these terms are all used interchangeably.
