thread_title: Bottom Cymmer

message: Isn't it better for this article to be called "Cymmer, Afan Valley"?  This is because local authorities change at the whim of Government.  If Wikipedia was here before 1996 then the article would have been called "Cymmer, West Glamorgan". Indeed, if Wikipedia was here before 1974 (!) the article would have been called "Cymmer, Glamorgan" but since there's another Cymmer in the Rhondda that wouldn't have worked.  There is currently pressure to change county boundaries again in the near future.  "Cymmer, Afan Valley" would be appropriate and wouldn't change whatever boundary changes there were. --Huwbwici (talk) 08:31, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A fair point, but we might get (and indeed have in the past got) into all sorts of POV arguments about which 'region' or 'district' should be the appropriate disambiguator for particular places.

replies: text: Thanks for the naming convention reference.  The convention refers to 'Principal Area' and not to local government entities.  Also, if the government entities changed such that both Cymmers were in the same authority (as they were up to 1974) then a local authority based convention wouldn't work.  I should have made it clear that I am not asking for the article to be renamed now, only that if the local authorities change in the future then I thought it would be best to change both Cymmers to refer to their unchanging geographical location and not to their variable local authority.  But I'm not making an issue of it, especially if it's been heatedly discussed previously!--Huwbwici (talk) 17:14, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

message: We have four different disambiguation pages, one for cat, one for cats, one for the cat, and one for the cats.

My question to you is this, apart from instances when someone is directly speaking to him, is he pretty much always called "the"?  I don't know anything about the show. Chrisrus (talk) 04:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, he isn't. I've been binge watching the DVDs of the show and he is very seldom referred to as "The Cat". He is generally both addressed and referred to as Cat, as though it was a real name, like Holly or Kryten.

thread_title:  What is the need for something like a Linear combination 

message: Hi All,
This is a request for some direction, from a non-mathematician. I plan to introduce a proof from linear algebra into the arbitrage pricing theory article. Basically, this is how the derivation there usually goes (where the generic-vectors below have a financial meaning):
:If the fact that (1) a vector is orthogonal to n-1 vectors, implies that (2) it is also orthogonal to an nth vector, then (3) this nth vector can be formed as a linear combination of the other n-1 vectors.
Firstly, I would like to tighten up the wording such that it is acceptable; secondly, I would like to link the argument to the appropriate linear algebra theorem. Hope that's do-able.

Category talk:Nontheism

message: what is the point of this category? It seems to make about as much sense as a :Category:Non-zoology to include all articles that do not treat a zoological topic. We do have :Category:Atheism to include articles that are about the issue of not having gods. Why should articles that simply do not concern the notion of a deity at all be grouped more than articles that do not treat the notion of "battle tank", "bycicle", "deconsructivism" or "dwarf planet"? dab (ᛏ) 13:35, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, well, the question is, do we need this category, and how do we delineate its scope wrt "atheism" and "secularism". There will also be no end to the debate, should Buddhism be in it, etc. Having an article about a concept is not sufficient evidence that the concept is useful for the categorisation of articles. dab (ᛏ) 11:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with dab. This category is too vague, and nontheism is too much of a neologism for us to rely on over atheism at this point. It's perfectly fine to have an article for nontheism, as long as it's well-referenced, but having a category is a very, very different case, because the term nontheism has vastly less noteworthiness than the term Christianity. Moreover, there's too much overlap between this category and :Category:Atheism for this to be a very useful categorization scheme: it would cause fights over which of the two categories (or both) a certain article goes into, due to the variable definitions of each term. Overall, it simply benefits our readers more to have a simpler categorization, which means "nontheism" is superfluous here, at least for now. -Silence 11:47, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Strong operator topology

message: The article page says "... SOT, is the weakest topology on the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space (or, more generally, on a Banach space) such that the evaluation map sending an operator T to the real number \|Tx\|  is continuous  for each vector x in the Hilbert space."
So defined topology is not translation invariant, nor locally convex, nor even Hausdorff, nor satisfies most claims of the article. For example it is not Hausdorff since there is no open set distinguishing the right shift S and its power S^2. (The zero operator is the only one separated by its neighborhoods from the rest of the space.)
Please, correct the article (provisional correction done by adding 'locally convex' to include the translational invariance ad hock). Remember that no information is much better than wrong information.
Copy the definition correctly from the source, usually no word (such as 'locally convex' for example) can be ommited.
(Note that also the example turned affected by correcting the definition.)

- Chickencha (talk) 20:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Re-write

message: It should maybe be noted in the article that string length may have been significant in the instrument's history. Some thoughts worth researching:
First, 30.5" is significantly shorter than the "full scale" Fenders' 34". With the Precision released 1951, the EB-1 (1953) was playing catch-up from the beginning, likely hampered as well by a higher MSRP. The shorter scale was less suitable for double-bass players than for guitarists who wished to double. The EB-0 came out in 1959, only to be immediately (1960) countered by the Jazz, also 34". 
Back in that era, flatwound strings were much more common. Combined with the shorter Gibson scale, the sound was often "rubbery" and legato; placing the pickup so close to the neck added bass characteristics but at the cost of overall tonal richness. These factors could be exploited by some players such as Jack Bruce, but the cumulative drawbacks likely doomed the EB-0 commercially. Weeb Dingle (talk) 04:40, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
