Talk:Erdős–Ko–Rado theorem

message: I believe that the first part of the theorem is true in the case n=2r.  The proof given appears to only assume n\geq2r.  But the second part is not true in that case!  Consider n=6, r=3, and the sets 123, 124, 134, 145, 146, 234, 245, 246, 345, 346.  Every set but the first has a 4.  (5 choose 2 is 10.)  --Dbenbenn 05:26, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weaker condition doesn't work for second part of theorem 

message: Since this page was created, it has referred to "Gyula Katona's proof", with no citation.  I suspect Gyula Katona is Gyula O. H. Katona, a mathematician at the Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics in Hungary.  He published "A simple proof of the Erdős-Chao Ko-Rado theorem" in J. Combin. Theory Ser B 13 (1972), pages 183--184.  I'll try to check this reference, and add it to the article.  --Dbenbenn 06:45, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for adding the references.  Do you have access to these journals?  If so, does Katona's paper prove part 2 of the theorem?  Cheers.  Molinari 21:21, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Statement of the theorem 

message: In the lead section had this:
: According to Erdős (1987) the theorem was proved in 1938, but was not published until 1961 in an apparently more general form. The subsets in question were only required to be size at most r, and with the additional requirement that no subset be contained in any other. This statement is not actually more general: any subset that has size less than r can be increased to size exactly r to make the above statement apply.
The first two sentences are correct, with a proviso: I don't know if the condition n≥2r is sufficient for this generalization; it isn't in the 1961 paper.  I'll add a citation-needed to this.The third sentence is not cited and not obvious.  The problem is that it requires the sets to be increased to size r in such a way that the increased sets are all different.  It is not obvious how to do this and it seems difficult. This issue does not appear to be mentioned in the 1961 paper or in the 1987 survey. Therefore, I'm taking it out. McKay (talk) 08:08, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure why this line is placed right in the beginning of the article - wavelet transforms are not inherently lossy - that comes purely from their finite precision implementation. Furthermore, you do have integer wavelet transforms that are prefectly lossless.

Talk:The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

message: The article incorrectly implies the LOTR film trilogy was the first attempt at simultaneous film shoot productions for a film series. This isn't the case. The first attempt by a film studio to shoot a movie and it's sequel at the exact same time was the 1978 Superman film and Superman 2. The shooting of the second film as originally planned was halted deep in filming due to the studio being concerned about the potential Box Office of the first film, and Richard Donner was later fired. Superman 2 was 80%-90% completed at the time production was halted to "focus on getting the first film right". Ultimately Donner's own version of the movie, as mostly simultaneously filmed, was released in 2006 as "Superman 2: The Richard Donner Cut" and was better received than the 1980 Richard Lester release was. This should be in a brief notation next to the statement about this being the "First Simultaneous Film Production in a movie series". It's technically actually the Superman 1 & 2: Donner Cut, although the latter 2006 film was released after LOTR. Colliric (talk) 12:41, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

This article has such a generally negative focus, it makes me wonder if it was written by someone who prefers structure and predictability over spontaneity. As an editor, I've known many such people, and that's fine. However, I don't think it's equitable having them write critically on this kind of social phenomenon, simply because it creates a theatrical illusion of spontaneity.

Talk:Les Misérables (1935 film)

message: Jean Valjean gives himself away to save another convict.  That convict who was on trial has the "looks" of Red Skelton.  Could it be him, in a role which is not documented ?  He is buried under so much beard and such that he is hard to recognize, but looking at his eyes, and the shape of his face when he smiles, seems to be a dead giveaway for me that he is in fact Red Skelton.
Anyone else have information to identify the actor ?
----
Actually, I think Frederic March played the mistaken identity convict (his name in the book is Champmathieu) as well as playing Jean Valjean, of course.  Looks like they did the same logical double-casting (after all, his fellow convicts of many years mistakenly identified him as Valjean, so the resemblance must be striking) in the 1934 version.  Red Skelton hadn't made it to Broadway yet in 1935, let alone Hollywood.
