message: OK, he meets Benedict Arnold at what we call Treason House, at Haverstraw.  The "Vulture" is forced to retreat to where he can't reach it, so he's left with trying to get to British lines via land travel.  The article says he's stopped near Tarrytown; how did he get across the Hudson to get there?  Presumably he's riding the extra horse which Arnold had brought along; did he travel a little north and provide acceptable pass to get across via King’s Ferry at Stony Point?

thread_title:  André`s attempted land travel 

message: "At age 20, he entered the British Army and joined the 23rd of Foot (Royal Welsh Fusiliers) in British Canada in 1774 as a lieutenant."
Army Lists show that Andre was commissioned Lieutenant in the 7th Royal Fusiliers on 24th September 1771 and remained subaltern in that regiment until Jan 18, 1777 when he was promoted Captain in the 26th Regiment. He never served in the 23rd RWF [CORRECTION: see below] and is the only officer surnamed 'Andre' in the Army Lists until 1779.

message: I've just patched up the references in the recently-added "Technology" section.

Talk:Length contraction

message: The wheel picture should be a rather different (probably an egg-like) shape.  The centre of curvature of the (stationary) base should be at the height of the original centre (= half way to the top), and the wheel should be getting narrower with increaing height at this half way point. 
(Special relativity actually shows this to be an oversimplification, as the wheel would be bent out-of plane).
PhysicistQuery (talk) 17:48, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: In the rest frame of its center, the wheel is a circle. Since a Lorentz transformation changes a circle into an ellipse, the moving wheel appears like an ellipse. When the wheel spins, its circumference is contracted, but not its spokes (because they move perpendicularly to their length). Hence the wheel shall be bent out of plane. I supposed that the elasticity of the spokes is much greater than the elasticity of the circumference to avoid such a bending. TD (talk) 05:41, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Amphibolite (1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica)

message: This is based on the amphibolite entry from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica,
now a public domain work. There are some pros and cons to using a one-hundred year old reference.
An important aspect for non-professionals is, technical articles like this at the turn of the century were written to be meaningful without advanced equipment which the average person will not have.  The text for the original article was obtained from the Gutenberg Project file for Vol.I. The archaic abbreviation for et cetera - &c - was replaced with the current 'etc', Wikipedia terms were formatted, the leading word was made HTML-bold, and HTML quotes were attached. 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica Amphibolite entry follows

Talk:List of Palestinian militant groups

message: this article was expanded by me to include disparate information on different militant groups scattered across articles, then all the information was moved to Palestinian_terrorism#List_of_Militant_Palestinian_groups. The merge consolidates information that was partly duplicated across pages, and often unevenly augmented by wikipedians. The new page probably also gets more traffic; a better home for the comprehensive list we are creating for those interested in Palestinian groups.--81.154.236.221 19:50, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I once came across a book that contained some interesting information about Soviet farm
equipment. The info was from the mid-late '70s.  One thing it mentioned was that the 
Soviets were manufacturing 3-4 times as many tractors as the U.S. It also stated that the
average age of the Soviet tractor was about 3 years versus 20 years for the U.S. The problem
was that the Soviet tractors were of such poor quality, they didn't last very long and needed
to be replaced quite often. I'll have to see If I can locate that book again. 71.38.174.228 (talk) 03:57, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Mechanization of Soviet Agriculure

message: I've been doing research for one of my own papers, and used one of the sources cited in this article.
The source, "Soviet Agriculture: A Critique of the Myths Constructed by Western Critics," by Joseph E. Medley, Ph.D, was written with the intention of being published, however the link goes to a forum about the history of the Soviet Union rather than an academic article.
I recently got into contact with Medley, and found out that the paper was rejected for publication.
I understand that the article is cited as valid criticisms of the classical Western beliefs of communism and its effectiveness (which I disagree with myself, but that's besides the point).
I'm just wondering what the protocol for this might be.
For completeness, here's Medley's response to when I asked him for a more formal source:

Talk:Transduction (machine learning)

message: Hello. I've reverted "posterior predictive probability of new cases given previous, observed cases" to "posterior probability of new cases given previous, observed cases". A predictive probability is just the probability of something that someone wants to predict; given that the sentence already spells out that we're interested in "new cases given previous, observed cases", it doesn't add anything. I don't mean to be difficult, I just don't think it's an improvement. Happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 22:14, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: A "label" is just a value (such as a class ID) associated with a point (or feature vector). For example, suppose you would like to build a machine that can identify the gender of a person in a photograph. You could start by scraping a bunch of pictures of people from the web. In this case, the array of pixel-values in each image would be the "feature-vector". A human would then label a several of these feature-vectors with the class "male" or "female". Then, you could (theoretically) use transduction to predict labels for all of the other feature-vectors.--Headlessplatter (talk) 17:36, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Cadillac Mountain is not the highest point on the East Coast of the United States. Mount Mitchell, Mount Washington and Mount Rogers are all higher.
* It's a matter of what you consider the East Coast; for example, Mount Katahdin is higher (along with much of the Appalachian) if you want to stay in Maine alone.  Cadillac is the highest point on the actual coast, and I've reflected the page to say that. - NightThree 13:46, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
:::I agree with the original commentator. the wording is still confusing, so I've clarified it further. The actual coast is ambigous; how far do you go inland before you are no longer within the realm of the actual coast? Furthermore, unlike nearby Norembega Moutain, Cadillac (argueably) does not actually rest against the seashore; it is surrounded by other peaks, hills, rises, and floodplain. I went with actual mileage from the shore, in this case the highest point within 25 miles, a safe, round estimate, although Cadillac is probably the highest point up to 28 miles from the shore. After that, other peaks in Maine and southeast New Hampshire (ex. the Moose Mountains, Brookfield NH) begin to top it out.--Pgagnon999 (talk) 18:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
