What does the Katyn Massacre have to do with the Volyn region? — Alex756  talk 16:43, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Don't know what AndriyK has been going on about but there was four administartions for partisan movement of the Volyn oblast (and seven for the neighbouring Rovno) Having lived in the latter for over five years I have met with some many former partisan members. Very nice old people BTW, and I have not seen a single former UPA. However I did see that when a statue to them was erected it stood for two days before it was destroyed by hooligans. Yet the Red Army statues statnd in full pride and honour and every time an anniversary of 9th May or the city/towns liberation comes they got a massive cleanup, as do the cemetaries of the fallen soldiers. Also the amount of veterans that gather for these occasions is beyond countable, as are the impressive fireworks.Kuban kazak 16:13, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  That the case was accepted for arbitration only means that it is not resolvable by other means.  It is neither a positive nor negative statement about any of the parties involved, and the results of the arbitration are yet to be determined.  Please consider arguments in discussions on their own merits, and don't use the pending arbitration as support for unrelated arguments.  —Michael Z. 2005-11-27 21:51 Z
Y'all know everything that I have to say about AndriyK, but still let's use more neutral phrasing in edit summaries.

What is the basis of this assertion?  He was a Christian as well as a capitalist, so concievably he could have been genuinely concerned.  It's not the place of wikipedia to say which.
because he saw pubs as a breeding ground for dissent and the formation of trade unions.
This is contentious. It's not the reason he gave AIUI, though it may be the one reported in local (left-wing) papers.  He provided alternative facilities; a library, etc, as listed. It was, I think, intended to improve the residents' ability to function as good Christians (e.g. by not getting into brawls or by drinking to excess). Mr. Jones 07:53, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:List of archaeological sites by continent and age

message: This article seems flawed and is misleading. The "ages" that are categorised in this article are not really compatible with each other. Specifically speaking, in the case of Oceania, ages for two completely different culture chronologies are being used. "Palaeolithic" in Australia is different from that in New Zealand, and Australia doesn't even have a "Classical Period". Aggelophoros 11:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Snafu

message: In my personal experience the current usage of SNAFU is, as the original usage was, one which includes the implication that the _general_ situation (e.g. the 'situation normal') is in some way seriously messed up not just the _particular_ incident which is being pointed out.
In other words just as the acronym states.
Most dictionary entries seem to be too sketchy to be of much use and, of course, people can be found arguing both ways.  I suggest that unless a more authorative source is found / investigation made that the main article should (at the least) be less definite than is implied by the sentence "In modern parlance it refers to a normal situation that suddenly went awry."
*The article now reflects that --Tomheaton 10:11, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modern usage of SNAFU 

message: Hi everybody!  The Snafu page (as it currently stands) is need of cleanup to meet Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages).  A disambiguation page ("dab page") like this gets created to guide readers to disambiguated pages.  For example, there is a a Roman god Mercury, a planet Mercury, and an element Mercury.  So we disambiguate their pages to Mercury (mythology), Mercury (planet), and Mercury (element).  At Mercury we place a disambiguation page ("dab page"), which functions as a signpost to the "real" articles.
Per the MOS, dab pages should not have article content on them, nor should they contain external links.  Dab pages are internal Wikipedia signposts.  They are not a place to list every possible use of a term or title.  Citations are irrelevant unless there is (or is expected to be) an actual article.  Wikipedia is not a directory.
This page is a mess in that regard.  Unless someone steps forward in the next week or two, I'm going to go through and clean-out the external links and other clutter, leaving just the signposts to articles, making this back into a proper dab page.

thread_title:  Disambiguation cleanup 

message: While SNAFU is sometimes defined as it is here, in actual and original usage, SNAFU certainly meant "Situation Normal: All Fucked Up." The bowdlerization of acronyms like SNAFU and FUBAR is understandable, but not exactly encyclopedic. "Fouled up" is not only an awkward, rarely used expression in English, but clearly a deliberate alteration of "fucked up." Does anybody have a citation to the contrary? 184.56.218.26 (talk) 04:42, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bowdlerized acronym 

message: It is weird to only have a disambig page for SNAFU, with no real article for the main meaning.

Talk:Margin

message: Can someone make "election margin" and "voting margin" redirect to the appropriate articles? Or new articles, if necessary. Thanks. --Eleassar777 10:23, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Voting margin

message: I cut the following:
*Generally it means "edge" or "border" or "perimeter".  For example a leaf margin may be smooth or serrated.
*In telecommunications, margin has the following meanings: 
**In communications systems, the maximum degree of signal distortion that can be tolerated without affecting the restitution, i.e., without its being interpreted incorrectly by the decision circuit. 
**The allowable error rate, deviation from normal, or degradation of the performance of, a system or device.
:::Source: Federal Standard 1037C
*In Medicine, the tissue margins are the edges of an excision (or resection) surgical specimen. The margins are examined by a pathologist to evaluate the likelihood that the disease (for example, a cancer) has been completely removed. "Clear margins," or "negative margins", means that the surgeon's cut was in healthy tissue, while "positive margins" means that the surgeon has cut through diseased tissue. This increases the likelihood that some disease was left inside the patient and, therefore, that the disease will recur. 
*In machine learning, margin refers to the minimal distance of a sample to the hyperplane dividing positive and negative examples. Some machine learning methods, such as Support vector machine or Boosting, work by searching for a hyperplane that maximizes the margin.
* In execution of activity, "margin" of error means the 'edge' or 'point' at which one measures acceptable or unacceptable amounts or numbers of errors; the "cut-off" point.
* In mortgage lending, "margin" is the lender’s spread over the interest rate index, often 2.5% to 3%, but it can vary widely. For example, if the index rate is 5% and the margin is 3%, then the mortgagor's interest rate on the mortgage would be 8%.
* In economics one distinguishes between the extensive margin and the intensive margin.  See also Margin (economics)
* Margin is also the name of the established upscale streetwear and directional tailoring exhibition established in 2002 that takes place twice a year in London for industry only.''
The reason is, a disambiguation page is not the place to list dictionary definitions or explain term usage that are not covered in other wikipedia articles. A disambiguation page is intended to direct someone who searches for an ambiguous term to the correct article on that term. If we don't have an article on that term, then we probably shouldn't included it on the disambig page. Also, wikilinking text and external links are not recommended in the MoS. If this was too big of a cut, feel free to restore content, but please keep it concise, and in accordance with the MoS. Thanks.-Andrew c 23:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "effectively computable" should be defined somehow ;-) --FvdP
While I revised the french translation of this article, I stumbled on a few sentences I could hardly understand:
* These included lower bounds for class numbers (ideal class groups for some families of number fields grow);: I understood & translated as : "lower bounds on how grows the ideal class group of some families of fields". I'll put that back in this article, but can someone confirm it's true ?
* Ineffective results are still being proved in the shape A or B, where we have no way of telling which.  That's not clear (to me). Does this mean: no effective way to tell which of A or B, but an effective way to determine "A or B" ?
Also, about: taking much more care about proofs by contradiction: what kind of care ? Care of making them effective ?
