Category talk:Harry Potter

message: In accordance to the discussion at Category talk:Fictional I tried to cleanup this :Category:Harry Potter to only include Fictional characters, places, etc. All "real life" articles and subcategories (Rowling, books, movies) I've taken out of this category and instead inserted bidirectional "See also" links.

thread_title: Fictional categorization

message: It seems to me that we are in desperate need of a template for Harry Potter-related articles.  In particular, the synopses are getting out of control, with a chapter-by-chapter retelling of the story at Half Blood Prince, but since there are so many articles and so many things to write about, it seems that it's time to start figuring this out. Exploding Boy 23:28, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
: Seven years later, perhaps for a long time, there is a navigation box (one type of template), namely Template:Harry Potter. Several days ago I put it in this category to be sorted above the alphabet (*) --where the portal should also be sorted. It does need to be prominent here, perhaps only here. 
: Should the Category preface be expanded to explain and link the Portal and Template (and explain what Harry Potter is)? The navigational sense of Portal may be understood by most visitors, but we can do better(?). The navigational or directory sense of Template must be unknown to many. --P64 (talk) 17:05, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Global warming survey

message: Don't these two statements contradict each other?
# climate science has provided enough knowledge so that the initiation of abatement measures is warranted. 
# However, consensus also existed regarding the current inability to explicitly specify detrimental effects that might result from climate change.
Am I reading this right? Or, is this summarizing the source materials correctly? It sounds like #2 says there is NO CONSENSUS on ANY specific detrimental effects, while #1 says we MUST initiate measures to abate them.
Huh? The world's leading scientists say we have to take action to stop something bad that they can't even identify, let alone detect? --Uncle Ed 15:46, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Representation theory of finite groups

message: This page could do with an introduction. -- Fropuff 16:07, 2004 Aug 9 (UTC)
Well, it could do with taking in hand.
(Actually ANY finite dimensional rep of a finite group can be turned into a unitary rep. To see this, note that any finite dimensional space can be turned into a Hilbert space with a positive definite sesquilinear form <.,.>. The same thing too with the rep, but then it needn't necessarily be unitary. But we can construct a new positive definite sesquilinear form <x,y>'=\sum_{g\in G}<g[x],g[y]> which makes it unitary). 
I've just written this in different words at unitary representation. It's an argument only available over the complex numbers, so probably belongs there.

thread_title:  Existence 

message: This section requires cleanup:
* Needs an introduction
* Incredibly informal language
* Contradictory use of notation on at least two occasions
* The final theorem is false for every finite nontrivial group when the tensor product is taken to mean the standard tensor product of G-modules, so the original poster probably intends some other tensor product and that should be mentioned.

Excerpt:
"Coupled with newly detailed information about the ice composition of interstellar clouds from JWST, scientists may finally be able to determine for sure whether amino acids formed in our solar system or in interstellar space. 
If the former, then it is possible that life could be unique to our solar system. If the latter, then amino acids should be spread far and wide across the Milky Way galaxy, raising the potential for life on planets around other stars."

thread_title: Images of Mount Bierstadt

message: From its initial completion, this page has shown Albert Bierstadt as the first ascender of Mount Bierstadt. This claim needs support. I've found no evidence for it, so I put a citation needed flag. There is ample evidence that Bierstadt came via the Chicago Lakes and Summit Lake in 1863 and ascended either Mount Evans or possibly Mount Spalding. I added a paragraph on that because the fact the Bierstadt came close to his eponymous mountain is relevant. I've seen no evidence that he climbed it. Roof of the Rockies: a history of Colorado mountaineering by William M. Bueler says the first ascent was by prospectors, as judged by prospect holes. So, I put citation needed on the attribution of the first ascender. If no documentation can be found for Bierstadt having climbed Bierstadt, this claim should be struck. Douglas W.

message: What is the source for "The minimum of 10 Jews needed for a meeting has its origin in Abraham's prayer to God in Genesis 18:20"?
