Talk:Gundappa Viswanath

message: Some of the material recently added to this article by Retroauro is very similar to Gundappa Viswanath's profile on Cricinfo, which makes me suspicious it's been lifted from an edition of Wisden or something similar. Any thoughts? --Ngb 00:25, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:The band's first record was released in 1971, which means that they'd not even have been eligible for an award that spring.  However, they *were* nominated for Best New Artist for the 1972 awards -- losing to Carly Simon.

Talk:Constitutional Convention (Australia)

message: The 1999 model was complex. Kerry Jones for the "no" case:
If you vote yes to this question, you are really supporting complex constitutional change. Our 'no' case is supported by eminent constitutional lawyers from across Australia who consistently have stated and written that not only is it complex constitutional change, it is change that would weaken the working democracy here in Australia as we know it. Clearly this is a fundamentally flawed republic on offer, it is half-baked, it was hobbled and nobbled and cobbled together at the Constitutional Convention through the wheels and deals of the politicians. 
Judging by the results, the people agreed with Kerry Jones.
In point of fact, the referendum included far more amendments than any other proposed alteration. The complicated nomination and appointment process attracted particular criticism. Skyring 01:05, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: There were several conventions which are completely absent from this record - most notably the 1976-1978 and 1983-1986 ones (the latter of which I understand may have been two separate ones), as well as others - I see evidence of one in 1962 also.

Talk:Yagan

message: I am concerned that this article—although well maintained—may not meet the WP:WIAFA comprehensive criterion, and in a POV way.  This biography, listed in External links and citing many of the same sources used here, seems to have considerably more content about Yagan himself, while Wikipedia seems to focus on Yagan almost exclusively in terms of his relationship with settlers and the relocation of his head.  It seems there is more material about Yagan himself which should be included, so as not to tell his story only from the POV of settlers.  Can this be addressed or should the article be submitted to WP:FAR? The WP:LEAD should also be expanded to be a broader summary of the article, and some of the See also should be either worked in to the article, their relationship explained, or removed. The lead tells us almost nothing about Yagan himself, which is a very POV way to present the man's life. SandyGeorgia (Talk)  19:49, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Featured article review needed 

message: The Australian Dictionary of Biography disagrees:
Yagan cannot properly be described as a ‘resistance leader’ when the Noongars offered no organised and sustained opposition to the settlers. He was more of a maverick, a bold and courageous warrior whose actions on behalf of his people and their rights made him notorious. He was not the brutal, indiscriminate killer most settlers thought him to be. His duty was to enforce the Noongar system of retributive justice on them as the only basis for a resolution of conflict between Noongars and colonists.

thread_title:  suggestions for additions 

message: Alanine is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids sounds misleading to me.  
I'm assuming the intended meaning is "Alanine is one of the most common natural amino acids, of which there are 20" (biochem textbook states 7.8% occurence, ranked #2 behind Leucine at 9.1%).  The way it is worded though, it seems to mean "Alanine is one of a group of 20 natural amino  acids, of which there are many more but this group of 20 is collectively the most common."  Though this statement is probably correct (assuming natural a.a.s are more common than synthetic ones), it does not convey the meaning that among natural amino acids, it is one of the most common.
-- Bubbachuck 16:13, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what you're saying it means or should mean.  There are more than 20 amino acids that qualify as "natural".  In any case, I've changed the first sentence in a way that makes this irrelevant. Josh Cherry 16:29, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Partial isometry

message: I reverted the edits; the characterization given was incorrect:
Suppose W is a partial isometry. Then W W* is a self-adjoint projection, so that in particular

Also assume as was claimed in the previous edit,  that any partial isometry satisfies:
: W = W^* W W^* \quad 
Then multiply both sides by W:
: W^2 = W W^* W W^* = e^2 = e \quad 
The square of a partial isometry is a projection only for very special partial isometries (it fails for instance for the unilateral shift). CSTAR 05:14, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, Motswana would be the correct Botswana English demonym, with Batswana for the plural. Tswana might also have been an option at one time. For titles, you would use the adjective "Botswana", as in "Botswana President Sir Seretse Khama was a Motswana." So to answer your question, I think we could say either "Motswana politician" or "Botswana politician", depending on whether we were emphasising the person's ethnicity or their nationality.
