Talk:Badeschiff

message: I saw a picture of Badeschiff when reading about things to do in Germany while at the World Cup.  I wanted to know more about this public park, but Wikipedia (my usual source for finding out about these things) had no information.  I found a couple good articles about it and I have linked to them.  It is a pretty major attraction and quite an interesting one, therefore I believe it is worthy of a Wikipedia page.

message: The following long sentence is unclear: "Producer Redford however chose to have Turturro's portrayal to be considerably at odds with Stempel's actual demeanor: that of a somewhat soft spoken person - one even a bit shy, rather than someone "socially challenged" and too often abrasive, even sometimes negatively presented as an ethnic stereotype."

Talk:JDOM

message: I'm a maintainer of the JDOM project.
I have (now) read the wiki guidelines, and realized that my editing of this page will likely be considered a conflict-of-interest. On the other hand, this page is 'stale' and no longer represents the state of the JDOM project (I recently updated the latest release details, for example).
My intentions will be only to update the information on this page with respect to the state of the JDOM project, keep the facts accurate, to monitor this page, and to fix it's current 'howto' nature. After a long period of 'stability' the JDOM project is soon to be significantly updated, and I am just trying to get all the JDOM related information consistent and 'clean'. I don't anticipate any major changes until JDOM 2 is released at which point a lot of the information will be outdated.
This is not exactly a 'controversial', or even a high-traffic page, so I don't anticipate a huge flock of impartial editors are going to suddenly swoop in and apply changes that are Talk'ed about as described in the 'WP:COI' page, but, if that does happen (great) then I will be happy to just discuss changes and let impartial editors apply them as appropriate.
In the interim I will make every effort to be as neutral as possible, but will defer to any criticisms or comments about any changes, and would be happy to 'back off' if there's an issue.

Talk:Mercury-Atlas 9

message: I have proposed that all Mercury missions are re-named. This will affect this page. So they can be discussed together on one page, I've set up a subpage of my user talk page for discussion of the moves. --GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 20:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Move

message: The page on astronaut Cooper makes his reentry sound a lot more dramatic: "Cooper fell back on his understanding of star patterns, took manual control of the tiny capsule and successfully estimated the correct pitch for re-entry into the atmosphere. Some precision was needed in the calculation since if the capsule came in too deep g-forces would be too large and if its trajectory was too shallow it would absorb too much heat and burn up. Cooper drew lines on the capsule window to help him check his orientation before firing the re-entry rockets. "So I used my wrist watch for time," he later recalled, "my eyeballs out the window for attitude. Then I fired my retrorockets at the right time and landed right by the carrier."

thread_title:  Incorrect mission insignia 

message: Stuff that might be worth mentioning in the article, mostly if someone comes up with a quotable confirmation:
* Carpenter was obviously the second American in orbit.
* As far as I heard, this was the first mission where the astronaut actually had controls to fly the spacecraft, after the experienced Air Force pilots complained about just being payload, as a "man in a can on an ICBM".
::You heard incorrectly. That capability was built in from the beginning; Shepard demonstrated attitude control of his capsule. Carpenter's flight might have been highlighted as the first case where he actually had to use it because of failure of the automatic system. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:09, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Saco Rienk de Boer

message: The problem is that the people who posted this are a part of a company(that creates "historical documents")that then use it as a source in a document.  They are in the process of trying to steal property from my family and are using this as a source on the document they submitted to the city for historical designation.  The article is WORD FOR WORD what they used in their document and took from another source.  The stuff they say and use is either copywrited, romanticized and total bs.  Because this author has not cited his sources, it needs to be noted to be responsible.  After all... that's what's required of students in highschool when THEY write a paper.
Thank you.
I've edited the article, adding an intro and a source.  From my web research, it appears that Mr. DeBoer was indeed a well-known landscape architect and deserves an article.

Talk:International Society for Krishna Consciousness/Off topic messages

message: Hare Krishna!
The Guru article features a large section criticising Gurus of all religions and faiths. It seems intent on criticising any religions based in or based upon South-Asian religions, and implies that any person called a Guru is likely to be a fraud. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is featured in the article.
It has been proposed that the article be either:
* Separated, the criticisms directed at each Guru be placed under the article on that particular teacher
* Merged into a new article such as 'Criticisms on religious teachers' or similar which would show less bias on South Asian religions.
However, concensus needs to be reached for any action to be made, so I encourage you to discuss the options on the Talkpage of the article. Talk:Guru

message: The "Other Variants" sections says:

thread_title:  Incorrect claim? 

message: :Therefore you can think of Brussel Sprouts as the same game as Sprouts but with points "dead" after there are 4 lines on them.
I removed this because Sprouts-with-valency-4 is plainly not equivalent.  Brussels Sprouts enforces which component of the playing surface (i.e. which side of the existing lines) each free end is in, and this appears to be crucial in the proof that the game is trivial (and quite possibly in the proof that the game ends after finitely many moves).  —Blotwell 20:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely correct. Sprouts-with-valency-4 is clearly infinite, since after any move there is at least one more: loop from the new point to itself. --Henrygb 23:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The second rule explains why.  You can only have three lines coming into a spot.  To exist at all, a spot has to be a point of a line - ie, two lines into it already.  If you loop, it creates two more, for four, larger than the allowed 3.--WPaulB (talk) 17:02, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The planet-math article implies that
:The upper-case \Xi function is defined as
:"
\Xi(s) = \pi^{-\frac{s}{2}} \Gamma\left(\frac{s}{2}\right) \zeta(s)
:although Riemann himself used the notation of a lower case xi (\xi) for this expression. The famous Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion that all the zeros of \Xi are real, in fact Riemann himself presented his original hypothesis in terms of that function.
However, this is in direct conflict with mathworld, amnd mathworld appears to be more correct, in saying Xi(t)=\xi(1/2+it) or something like that.  This text should be fixed at mathworld, and fixe here. linas 20:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

message: This article defines:
:\xi(s) = \tfrac{1}{2} s(s-1) \pi^{-s/2} \Gamma\left(\tfrac{1}{2} s\right) \zeta(s)
However, you can also see another definition:
:\xi(s) = \pi^{-s/2} \Gamma\left(\tfrac{1}{2} s\right) \zeta(s)
The formula given for the value at the positive even integers:
:\xi(2n) = (-1)^{n+1}\frac{n!}{(2n)!}B_{2n}2^{2n-1}\pi^{n}(2n-1)
appears to confuse these two definitions for n>1. For example, is \xi(4)=\frac{\pi^2}{15} or \xi(4)=\frac{\pi^2}{90}?

message: 65.168.72.82, your recent edit to Spathiphyllum appears to be unconstructive and so I'm undoing the edit. The edit was unconstructive for the following reasons. You stated that Spathiphyllum are also known as "death lillies". I've heard many different synonyms, but never this one before. Many other species in Araceae however do go by this name and so I really think a really good source stating this is essential if this is to be an article. The other change you made seems to be more closely associated with vandalism. You wrote "Although spath may flower, it is incorrect to refer to spath as flowers. It is, first and foremost, a plant.". It is not neccessary to tell the readers in an article associated with a specific genus how a spathe is to be referred to. If the reader doesn't know what a spathe is they can simply look it up. Its also completely unneccessary to tell the readers that its a plant twice in the article. You also placed a reference that has nothing to do with what you were attempting to claim.Chhe (talk) 20:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
