Talk:Écarté

message: The rules in the article look to have been paraphrased from another source, and possibly translated from another language (small gramatical things out of place, etc.), though the precursor text suggests that they are taken directly from a standardized document.  I'd suggest either finding a source document and matching our text to it, or altering the precursor text and cleaning up the rules for grammar.
There were no grammatical mistakes, excepting the usage of 'less' instead of 'fewer', and the text is almost certainly not a translation, and I have put most of the 'corrections' back to the elegant form in which they were written.  Although the text is old-fashioned in its generous use of the subjunctive, it is quite mistaken to assume that this part of the English language is dead.  Even when the subjunctive mood takes the same form as the indicative, it does not mean to say that it is not being used.  And in fact, it is still in general use in the vernacular, and widely by people who are not consciously aware of its existence, even in the U.S.A. CAW 00:49, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Knightsbridge Security Deposit robbery

message: I've removed the editorial comment asserting that Viccei's post-incarceration friendship with Leach is ironic. It might be classified "interesting", or "coincidental" (which again is meaningless editorializing) but it's about as ironic as rain on your wedding day or ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.
Anyone disagree? If you disagree you're obviously free to revert, but I'd like to hear your reasons. Thanks! Dubious Irony (talk) 09:26, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Misuse of 'Irony'

message: There is probably a standard for this sort of thing, but it seems appropriate to quote the value of the robbery using the exchange rate that applied at the time. Unfortunately, Table of historical exchange rates isn't very complete right now. Using the historical data from forecasts.org it looks like the US-UK exchange rate varied strongly throughout 1987.
The mean exchange rate for 1987 would be UK£1 = US$1.639, giving a value of $66m. An alternative would be to use the exchange rate in July 1987 which would be UK£1 = US$1.609, giving a value of $64m.
It probably doesn't matter much, so I will go with the mean for the year. -- Solipsist 16:20, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I think more important is to state the numbers in an inflation adjusted form. This way exchange rate will not be as important (as it depends from inflation)

Talk:Reflection group

message: I could find no group-theory article in Wikipedia that gave detailed  background information for my kaleidoscope puzzle.  An article on reflection groups that included such groups defined in spaces over finite fields might have suited my purely egocentic purpose, but there was no such article, so I wrote a stub, including a lengthy quotation from the home page of Anne V. Shepler, a mathematician who specializes in this area.  I wrote Shepler about the article, and she replied with an expanded and simplified version of the quote I had taken from her home page.  The new version is now the main (first) section of the article on  reflection groups. Cullinane 22:35, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Cook's Bay (Ontario)

message: There are some who contend that the correct name is Cook Bay without the apostrophe s. There are good arguments for both sides and that should probably be part of this article but I will contend that the correct title for this article is Cook's Bay. Firstly, it is the most commonly used name for the bay and it is Wikipedia convention to use the most commonly used name for titles. Secondly, there are very reputable sources that say "Cook's Bay" is the correct name. See  Natural Resources Canada's entry for Cook's Bay vs Cook Bay for instance.

Talk:Kinsman

message: If this surmise were to be correct, then the spread of this name should be fairly uniform across the country.  If every village had such a festival then every village should have had a Kingsman or Kinsman.  Instead, the variant name KINSMAN is almost unique in being in Devon and Cornwall - at least from an analysis of the 19th century censii.  Research into this name and it's variants leads me to believe that it is derived from a single family originally named Kynnesman who were landowners directly from the Crown in Northamptonshire in the 13th to 16th centuries.  Some of this family had lands also in the West Country and moved there.  This family name may have derived from William Keynes (Keynesman) who was listed as being Sheriff of Northampton in the Domesday book.Docwatto 21:14, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This page needs to include something on Bousfield localization from homotopy theory. - Gauge 18:33, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Bousfield

message: Bousfield seems to special to me to include it in the text; Verdier localization sounds about right.
BTW, for the calculus of fractions there are quite some restrictions on the set of morphisms to be inverted; in particular, it is not generally applicable to construct the derived category directly from chain complexes (see Gelfand/Manin, Methods of Homological Algebra).
So I'm wondering: does the name "Localization" just refer to the categories of fractions as stated in the article, or is the general concept of adjoining inverses of arbitrary sets of morphisms? - 80.143.125.195 15:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Categories of Fractions 

message: Based on the heading, localization should be the process of formally adjoining inverses to a specified set of morphisms in a category.  The given definition though (coaugmented functor that is idempotent) has nothing to do with this, and doesn't even yield a new category, or at least not the localization that we want.  What is going on?  If you work through the idempotent coaugmented functor definition in a few simple cases (monoids as 1-element categories, and posets), then you get that in the monoid case, a 'localization' is equivalent to an invertible element of the monoid, and in the poset case, a 'localization' is an order-preserving map f which satisfies x ≤ f(x) for every x.  Neither of these have anything to do with what localization ought to be, which in these cases would be the processes of formally adding inverses to a set of elements in a monoid, and collapsing intervals in a poset.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.217.2.181 (talk) 23:54, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
