message: Wasn't there a Canadian named Joseph Sheppard?  This is the only Joseph Sheppard page I can find on Wikipedia, but we've got a government building here in Toronto named the Joseph Sheppard building, and it's located very close to Sheppard Ave., which was named such long before this actor was ever well known (or so I believe), so I'm guessing (especially since this is an American actor and we don't tend to name our government buildings or streets after Americans) that there is another Joseph Sheppard that there is no article about.

Talk:Irving Biederman

message: This article is surprisingly tiny. Irving Biederman is a major neuroscientist who's Recognition by Components Theory which proposes geons as primary components of vision, is still regarded as an important and elemental theory of human vision. This article should be developed to incorporate that extent into the Wikipedia encyclopedia. I know little about this scientist's personal history, but for those with an interest in personal biography, this would be an important inclusion. Biederman's work rests on the earlier work of David Marr who died prematurely at around 40 years old. But Biederman's theoretical proposal is a major part of human vision science, which is still in early stages of scientific explanation... Stevenmitchell (talk) 20:33, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Request for Comment: Curves Move

message: What is this strange idea of talking about "curve, the mathematics definition" as opposed to some other notion? Mathematics simply provides one way to make precise the intuitive notion of a curve. But so what? Everyone knows what a curve is, and "curves" is the plural. The use of the term "curves" for body shape or any similar usage is directly derived from this common meaning. There should therefore be a common disambiguation. And why are search engines relevant? This is an encyclopedia, not a list of the "top 10 meanings for the word curves"! I agree that there is no particular reason for the disambiguation page to lead with the mathematical point of view, but this is far preferable to a dab that leads with an advertisement for a fitness program: we might as well lead with the use of the word in baseball! I'm completely baffled as to why time is being spent on this issue. Geometry guy 00:34, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:James Allen Graff

message: Unsourced article about a a thoroughly unnotable professor.  I found no newspaper obituaries.  Here is hte obit in the department newspaper (scroll to p. 6 of the pdf)    It does not mention a single book, theory, or idea for which he is known.  It does describe his late-life pro-Palestinian activism.   But I cannot find that he was notable as a political activist.  The WP article, as created and as it still stands, is a close copy of the very brief death notice in the department newsletter.  It is a highly unusual faculty newsletter obituary; the done thing is to write glowingly of a colleague's contributions of the field - however minor they were in reality. I find the lack of a mention of, well, any scholarly accomplishment at all very telling.  He may well have been a good person, teacher, colleague - just not a notable one.

Talk:James Bright

message: This entry is confusing because a James Bright was also a Missouri rancher who co-developed the town of Hialeah, FL and Hialeah Park Race Track in 1921 together with aviation pioneer Glenn Curtiss.  Moreover, the entry for Hialeah Park Race Track erroneously links to this page.  The James Bright on this page was a scholar and philologist, NOT a real estate developer, and was better known as James Wilson Bright anyway.  Either the title for this page must be changed, or else the wrong link in the Hialeah Park entry must be changed.  However, it makes more sense to change this page. 64.134.167.50 (talk) 23:22, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

message: No, the term has nothing to do with any longer Arabic phrase than emir. Yes, it's common and has even been referenced by US generals and flag officers but see the corrected entry on Admiral and the OED entry on the word. [Hypertechnically, it could be said to come from amir al-umaracommander of the commanders or commander-in-chiefthat was held by some cool guys in medieval Sicily and spread from there. The term itself though was just from the first bit of their title being badly latinized, -atus shifting to -alis.
