Talk:Hilbert's seventh problem

message: The 7th problem of Hilbert was solved completely and independently by Gelfond and Schneider. They used slitely different methods. While Schneider only used the addition theorem of the exp-function exp(x+y)=exp(x)exp(y), Gelfond used also the differential equation e'=e.
Later Schneider used Gelfond's Methode to prove other results, e.g. an analogue to the Gelfond-Schneider Theorem (Hilbert's 7th problem) for elliptic function.
----
The translation at http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/hilbert/problems.html#prob7 gives the statement in the form to which I've corrected it (i.e. b irrational algebraic). So I believe Gel'fond/Schneider solved the problem as stated (end of para 7 of the reference).
Charles Matthews 12:08, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: As of 9/14/2013 the last sentence of the article states:
"The first question is a consequence of the second question."
A question being a consequence of another question is an opinion and needs a reference.
I THINK (but am not sure) that the writer MEANS that the ANSWER to the 1st question directly follows from the answer to the second. Could someone edit to correct this?  As it stands it makes no sense, and in addition the implication that the 1st part of Hilbert's 7th Problem IS answered/solved is not otherwise made explicit here (and if true, it obviously should be explicitly said).72.172.1.28 (talk) 15:11, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

There is an error in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_Cars The Cobras mentioned were not AC cars.  The Shelby Cobra used an AC Body and chassis and Ford engine and running gear.  The car was produced and sold by the company Shelby-American.
Cobras sold in Britain and overseas (apart from the US) were built at Thames Ditton in complete form and sold under the 'AC' brand. Those built for Shelby were built by AC at Thames Ditton, minus engines. These were installed by Shelby in the US.92.8.118.22 (talk) 18:57, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

I just want to let you know that I removed much subtitles, because I thought they were too confusing about the topic, and I have moved the content about the four trains and the railbuses to a new section after the model boards. (I had removed the big sections a little older as an IP user.) There is a chance that now much blank space is there, so there's maybe a need of someone to clean this up.

Talk:André Bachand (Progressive Conservative MP)

message: There are intentionally insulting references in this article to the reasons of why Bachand was elected, saying that he was first elected on the "coattails" of Jean Charest, implying that he was a sycophant to Charest, explaining that this is why he was elected. That is a highly controversial statement and the way it is worded is intentionally insulting.--R-41 (talk) 17:02, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The statement is obviously the point-of-view of the editor who added the info. We can't provide reasons why we think something happened, so the statement should probably be edited. A neutral sentence could read "Bachand was first elected as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party in 1997, one of five PC MPs elected that year in Quebec." If you believe something in a WP:BLP article to be highly controversial, than remove it and explain why in the edit summary, but I wouldn't go as far as stating what the editor was "implying", as that would also be point-of-view.

thread_title: Janacek

message: This idea is in my head for some time: the real problem is the title shown in the article, not in the URL. The title is automatically set from the article name in the URL and the first letter is capitalized. While this is normally perfect and should not be changed due to incompatibilities, dangling links a.s.o, it could help if the title can be set or suppressed in the article contents. My proposal would be to be able to set the title in an article, so one could create an article named C plus plus and show a title C++. One could create a tag <tilte>C++</title> which suppresses the normal title generated and replaces this with the contents of the title tag. Or one could create a __NOTITLE__ magic (like __NOTOC__) and use =....= (first entry inside toc) as title. This would lead to
*free setting of title inside article including small letter at the beginning, all characters
*No change in links, since the URL, Linkrefs is unchanged. One links to C++ (C++) as usual an gets an article with C++ as title
*All articles can show the correct title, if it is expressible in wikipedia syntax, even in foreign languages
*only addition of NOTITLE and and correct heading in article required 
The C++ article would start like this
 __NOTITLE__
 =C++=

thread_title: Other holocausts

message: I made some changes. Corrected the misleading impression that his parents were combatants in WW2. This is worth remarking on since Finkelstein has come under attack for bringing the subject up and relates details of his parents experience in the book. 
Inserted a key theme of the book that wasnt really touched on- the claim that the Holocaust is used as a 'shield or 'alibi' for activity by Israel/Zionist. Tidied up some references and quoted from Omer Bartov in context- the 'Protocols' point is one that was repeated elsewhere by other critics if memory serves. A more substantial rebuttal from Finkelstein might also be worth including but I think the collection of articles on his site that is linked to works just as well.

Talk:Linear algebraic group

message: Thanks for the clarification wrt the Lie groups...I wasn't clear on that. Revolver
What I'm not quite clear on, myself, is the status of the unitary group. The 'unitarian trick' of Weyl is to say that it is Zariski-dense in GL(n,C) - I guess. But in what sense is the unitary group _not_ a real algebraic group?
Charles Matthews 20:32, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: The unitary group U(n) of matrices in GL(n,C) such that UU^*=I is an algebraic group over the real numbers, as opposed to over the complex numbers. Its complex points are all of GL(n,C). Weyl's unitarian trick uses this fact in that the complexification of the real Lie algebra of U(n) is the complex Lie algebra gl(n), thus showing that GL(n,C) is semisimple (since U(n) is compact). It seems you asked this question a while ago... RobHar 02:06, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Usually "Personal Life" of a person famous for something like acting comes later in the page than the story of their career.

Which isn't "Personal Life" at all, even though it started with marrying the CEO of Pepsi.
