Talk:Sylver coinage

message: I know that _Winning Ways_ attributes the finiteness theorem to Sylvester.  But Conway invented Sylver Coinage long after Sylvester was dead.  How could Sylvester have proved a theorem about it?
Does anyone have a reference for this?  I don't think it's in the article of Sylvester's that the book references, but I don't have a copy of the article at hand. Sicherman (talk) 02:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Plan of the castle

message: It would be helpful to put the country where this is located in the first or second sentence. Currently it reads, "Fotheringhay Castle (also Fotheringay Castle)[1] was in the village of Fotheringhay 3 1⁄2 miles (5.6 km) to the north of the market town of Oundle, Northamptonshire (grid reference TL061930)" Since I am not British I have no idea where the village of Fotheringhay 3 ½ miles north of Oundle is located. Even reading further on there are so many references to English royalty and Scottish royalty I could tell if it was in England or Scotland. I was guessing it was in Scotland until I confirmed it was in England.Tomandzeke (talk) 22:38, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:WWRF

message: Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the radio station call letters are the primary identification and the acronym for a global organization in telecommunications is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the organization. - Dravecky (talk) 23:53, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Perepiteia

message: * http://tyler.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2008/2/4/3505063.html  -- Thane responding (twice) to a blog post about his device and providing additional explanation/thoughts.  TheodoreTest (talk) 04:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: New Links to Incorporate

message: Some of the article is informative. 
But some of it is irrelevant.  
The question of whether it "violates" a law of physics is silly, silly in that if the device does something, it is not violating real laws.  The relevant question is whether it can help produce energy at a lower cost.  The former question of theory is for kids and adults who like nothing more than to argue.  The latter practical question, of whether it saves money or reduces resources, is the important one.  Finally, what editor thinks he was qualified to add the word definitive in this sentence: 
:Natan Weissman wrote a definitive explanation of the Perepeteia machine?

message: OK I'm not a physicist or mechanical engineer or anything. But shouldn't the lead, which states:
:"Due to the long history of hoaxes and failures of perpetual motion machines, Heins' claims about Perepiteia have been treated with considerable skepticism."
Something more like:
:"Due to the long history of hoaxes and failures of perpetual motion machines and the incompatibility of such a device with accepted principles of physics, Heins' claims about Perepiteia have been treated with considerable skepticism."
I mean... the first version could apply to the Wright Brothers or whomever. The second couldn't. There's a considerable difference, I would say. Is there any reason why I shouldn't add this clause? I don't want to get into a situation of contention, but this just seems incontraveritble to me. (None of this is to say that "accepted principles of physics" are necessarily correct. But they are accepted principles.) Herostratus (talk) 15:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Lead par?

message: The lede currently incorrectly defines it as prison, which is more correctly translated as prisión or cárcel. The word comes from the same Latin root word that preside comes from, a praesidum in Roman archaeological sites is usually always called a fort. These were usually the foundations of townsites, not prisons. The reason prison is shown in the RAE definition, is in reference to act of presiding, which in Spanish is presidiar, presidio or presidia, in that context, is a task not a place. In the context of places it always references a fort, not the task. 73.98.120.89 (talk) 04:34, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

message: This article has recently been edited by students as part of their course work for a university course.  As part of the quality metrics for the education program, we would like to determine what level of burden is placed on Wikipedia's editors by student coursework.
If you are an editor of this article who spent time correcting edits to it made by the students, please tell us how much time you spent on cleaning up the article.  Please note that we are asking you to estimate only the negative effects of the students' work.  If the students added good material but you spent time formatting it or making it conform to the manual of style, or copyediting it, then the material added was still a net benefit, and the work you did improved it further.  If on the other hand the students added material that had to be removed, or removed good material which you had to replace, please let us know how much time you had to spend making those corrections. This includes time you may have spent posting to the students' talk pages, or to Wikipedia noticeboards, or working with them on IRC, or any other time you spent which was required to fix problems created by the students' edits. Any work you did as a Wikipedia Ambassador for that student's class should not be counted.
Please rate the amount of time spent as follows:
* 0 -No unproductive work to clean up
* 1 - A few minutes of work needed
* 2 - Between a few minutes and half an hour of work needed
* 3 - Half an hour to an hour of work needed
* 4 - More than an hour of work needed
