I fixed the HTML so that it appears correctly on non-IE browsers like Mozilla Firefox (using min-height: 60px; in the CSS).  I also reworded the text to get rid of ugly whitespace (and I think the new text is better anyway; it wasn't that clear what the "that page" in the old text referred to). --Redquark 20:58, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  FAC2 

message: I'm a bit concerned with the following phrase: "After the FAC director or one of his two delegates promotes the article..." Linking "two" to Karanacs and "delegates" to SandyGeorgia is cute and clever and all that, but they're somewhat misleading. The fact that the entire phrase "two delegates promotes" is blue would probably lead newer users to believe that clicking anywhere in that phrase will navigate to some page explaining who the delegates are and how they determine when to promote articles. WP:EGG explains that links should be intuitive. This is not the case for this template. --Cryptic C62 · Talk 14:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

It sits awkwardly between

Talk:Pylons of Messina

message: * Was the powerline on the pylons until its disassembly run with 220 kV? Or was it already before 1994 run with 380 kV?
:* I believe that the pylons were abandoned because further upgrading the overhead power line to 380 kV was not feasible; I can't find any document about them operating at a voltage other than 220 kV. Peppepz (talk) 17:17, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: * No, the current 380 kV submarine cable that replaced the pylons connects the substations of Paradiso and Bolano. I believe that the sea entry points currently described in the article are accurate enough, and that the line is made up of two different cables in its submarine portion. The submarine cables of the new 380 kV Sorgente-Rizziconi line, which is currently at an advanced stage of completion, follow a completely different path, bypassing the Straits of Messina altogether. Peppepz (talk) 17:17, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

text: * I can't find any, especially with a free license, but if you're curious, there's this YouTube video where you can catch some glimpses of the insulators used when the line was being doubled (e.g. at 2:18).

Talk:Cult figure

message: Hi there, i removed [Plank], since it leads to a disambiguation page, that contains no topic on a cult figure known as "Plank".  If you wrote in "Plank", provide a link to an article, either here or on the disambiguation page.
The names on this page should be alphabatized.
:It looks like the number of names on this page has more than doubled recently.  Whether someone qualifies as a cult figure is a matter of opinion to some extent, but perhaps there should be a policy that each person who gets listed should have a sentence or so on the main page explaining what makes that person a cult figure.  Something like:
:"Norman Wisdom -- British actor who became a superstar in Albania because his films were the only films from Western countries shown there in the Communist era." --Metropolitan90 03:17, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
* I have alphabetized and removed a bunch of entries.  If someone clearly had a cult following (ie I knew them and considered they probably had that) or they actually reasonably asserted it in the description, they were kept.  This undoubtably yields an American bias which should be corrected, but I can't do it.  I think to be included here, the article for the person should indicate their cult status.  If it's not notable enough for the article, it shouldn't be here.  (Oh, and I suspect Grateful Dead and Phish should probably be added  :) Wikibofh 14:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:First-degree atrioventricular block

message: If the impulse is not "blocked" then why are you refering to this as first degree AV block, instead of only "prolonged PR interval" The name first degree AV block is misleading. With this reasoning then there's no trifascicular block. It is reasonable to assume that block of all three fascicles would lead to total AV block
:Well, while it might not seem logical, nonetheless, that's what it's called. We're referring to it that way because that's what everybody else refers to it as.  It may help you to think of "prolongation" and "blocking" as synonyms in this instance, but even if it doesn't you'll have to get used to the idea that "prolonged PR interval" = "first degree heart block", because we're not just making it up. As an overview, it would be fair to say "1°": every atrial beat triggers a ventricular beat; "2°": some atrial beats trigger ventricular beats; and "3°" no atrial beats trigger ventricular beats. - Nunh-huh 23:59, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: You can also think of a 1st degree block as impeding the conduction of electrical impulses through the AV node, blocking in a temporary, imperfect way. You may decide to block a Walmart entry door on "black friday", but all those determined shoppers will push past you anyway. They all get through, but slower than they'd wanted to. Wordreader (talk) 18:49, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, the apparent purpose of the AV node is to delay, or temporarily block, electrical conductions between the artia and the ventricles, a normal function.

Talk:Scalar multiplication

message: Scalar multiplication can apply to a matrix as well as a vector.  It can probably apply to other mathematical structures but I can't think of any off hand.  RJFJR 00:20, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)
(Matrices are regarded as vectors, in abstract linear algebra.) JoergenB 13:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Scalar-matrix multiplication

message: The last sentences, about scalar multiplication over a non-commutative ring, are somewhat obscure.  A module over such a ring is either one-sided or two-sided; and in the one-sided case, scalar multiplication appears either on the left or on the right side, noth both.  In the commutative case, normally the modules (or vector spaces) are implicitly considered as equipped with two-sided scalar multiplication.  Text book authors sometimes may forget to mention it, but it is employed e.g. in taking tensor products. Perhaps adding a link or two about modules would suffice? JoergenB 13:59, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Scalar multiplication of Functions 

message: The field of scalars of a vector space has a multiplication which is not the topic of this article. The proper title is Scalar-vector multiplication. Of course in the context of linear algebra, a coordinate space is dependent on the field K supplying the n-tuples of the space. The scalar-vector product will be defined for any sub-field k ⊆ K. For an encyclopedia entry, the title should distinguish its contents from other interpretations, such as the multiplication in the field suggested by the current title. — Rgdboer (talk) 01:58, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

message: A dozen books were pulled off the shelf to see whether this misuse of the term binary operation was perceived by textbook authors writing linear algebra.

It is POV to say that the Federal Republic was the legitimate successor of the German Reich of 1871-1945, because, from 1949 until 1990, there were two German states which both claimed to be the legitimate successor of the German Reich (and which, after 1971, both admitted that they were both legitimate successors to the German Reich).  To say that the Federal Republic's Ministers of Foreign Affairs were the "main line", and separate out the DDR's, is to enshrine the Federal Republic's official position of 1949-1971 as the objective truth, which is POV. john 20:06, 20 May 2004 (UTC)
