Category talk:Unassessed Montana articles

message: So I made a rather grueling pass through all the articles in :Category:Montana and placed  on nearly all the articles I found without them.  Some 1,300+ articles I guess.  I shall not be doing that again anytime soon.  I'm sure there are articles about people and railway related things that I didn't get to or didn't feel that including them in the project was worthwhile.  But that's only one view.

Talk:List of infantry battalions in the Canadian Expeditionary Force

message: Might it make sense to annotate the list with those regiments that perpetuate battalions of the C.E.F.?
: Yes, I thought of doing that a while back and then totally forgot about that little project. Now that you have brought it up here, I think I will start on that in the next few days. I will make the list into a table and include columns for authorization and disbanding dates, as well as current perpetuation.  Indefatigable (talk) 22:33, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Sources

message: I am new to Wikipedia and trying to understand both how to use it and how to contribute.  Could you please help me understand the criteria for separate pages?  A list of wikipedia articles for people from enfield is easy to get by typing "Category:People from Enfield."  Surprisingly, there's not much overlap between the lists.   Of course, this list would logically restrict that one by requiring that they be "notable"; on the other hand, perhaps "associated with" is more general than "from."  I investigated some examples:
*Benjamin Disraeli is on this list but not in the category "People from Enfield"; moreover, his article doesn't mention Enfield.  Is the wikipedia biography missing some information about his association with Enfield?
*Charles Lamb is on this list but not in the category "People from Enfield."  His wikipedia bio doesn't mention Enfield but says he was born in Crown  Office Row, Inner Temple, London.  
*Charles Cowden Clarke is in the category but not on this list.  I confess I've never heard of him, but it seems that he's notable enough to have an Encyclopedia Brittanica article.  Wouldn't that make him a good candidate for this list?
Can you clarify what's going on for me?  Thanks very much Ngriffeth 12:51, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The choice of romanization system is not dependent on the number of google hits.  "Shatoy", "Shatoi", "Shatoj", "Šatoj", and many more are all valid spellings, as they are romanizations of the same Russian name "Шатой".  As it is impractical to list all possible romanizations in every article, and it is only possible to have one title for any given article, only one romanization system is selected as primary.  In case of Wikipedia, it is WP:RUS, which is a slightly modified version of BGN/PCGN romanization of Russian, which, in turn, is the main system used for romanization of Russian geographic names in English.  Use of a single primary romanization system allows for standardization and consistency and romanization via that selected system should be used at all times unless major English dictionaries recommend using a different spelling (e.g., "Moscow" instead of "Moskva" or "Saint Petersburg" instead of "Sankt-Peterburg").  Of course, all other spelling variations can (and should) serve as redirects.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Hamurabi (video game)

message: On the lines of its influence, I think it may be worth mentioning the genre of educational sustainable environment games that have evolved from this. I know I've played 2 of them but I unfortunately can't remember the names for them. One was for the Acorn platform and one was a game made by the German government IIRC. Both have you as a supervisor for some island and you're in charge of choosing how much land you use for development (and whether the level is sustainable or not). Your decisions would affect how well the island does from year to year and you receive reports on its progress. --Rambutaan 03:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The thing about eight-character limit seems to have been in the article from the beginning (in 2006), but is there any real evidence it just wasn't a mispelling [sic]? In Ahl's book, the spelling "Hamurabi" is also included in the game texts, which are not limited by any file system limitations. And in any case, a written book does not have a file system.

Talk:Vector space model

message: In this article, there is a strong tendency to highlight very specific models which perform "better than the standard vector space model". 
For example, I removed link to "topic based" vector space model which appears to be self promotion, plagarism, or both. When you follow the links cited here, some of those articles are not strongly referenced in other literature. For whatever reason, this is happening in this article than in most other articles on Machine Learning.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.93.61 (talk) 21:52, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Overcoming challenge of self promotion

message: This article talks about the limitations of the vector space model but doesn't discuss alternative approaches that might fare better on these aspects. I think the article would be much improved if someone with relevant expertise added an "Alternative Approaches" section or at least a list of links to articles about other ways of tackling the text indexing problem. I take it that an Inverted Index (already linked in the See Also section) is one such alternative but it would still be informative to know how those two compare (and what other approaches there are). Brianwc (talk) 19:41, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the limitations section could use some work - in addition to there being alternative approaches, there are also many ways to work around these limitations while still taking advantage of a vector space model. The S-Space Package, for example, makes heavy use of vector space models but its algorithms variously manage to overcome some of these limitations (all of them, I believe, except for the loss of the order in which terms appear) using clever mathematical and linguistic tricks. I don't have time to work on it now (because I'm too busy with a thesis heavily employing vector space models!) but for the time being have put a little note clarifying that these are not impossible limitations to overcome.

message: There is no mention of the loss of his first wife in London under German bombing during WWII.  I would have thought this rather relevant, esp. as he did predictions for bomb damage for the Manhattan project   Perhaps not as assumed  - have recently found this in an Obit written by the Royal society  for WP
 In 1935 Bill married Adele Minnie Elms, a very pretty and charming university student
from Kent. They had two sons, but sadly she never recovered from post-natal depression
after the birth of the second son, and she died in April 1945, while Bill was in Los Alamos.
He returned only briefly and arranged for Joan Quennell, who had nursed the younger son,
to look after the two boys. She took them  to Wales, and on his return in September 1945,
Bill married her.

In Gibraltar Bus Company website I found a route desription, which says: "Both Worlds (Turnaround) – Both Worlds – Blackstrap Cove – Caleta Hotel – Catalan Bay – ..." that means for me the Turnaround must be between Both Way village and the tunnel.
