message: My added links are being deleted as against policies.  I feel that the links I added are totally within the policies. I am not trying to spam, and if you just look at the links, you will understand that they are directly on point of the article -- they are about coins... ancient coins from this specific region of Anatolia, the history of which is described in the article... I am just trying to better your site with relevant information about these ancient regions and their history (of which coins are an essential part).

Talk:Lorenz curve

message: I agree, I had trouble learning about the Lorenz curve from this page because the cdf is different.  The cdf plots the cumulative % of the variable against the category.  The Lorenz plots the cumulative % of the variable against the cumulative % of population (calculated from the categories).

message: In the case of perfectly equal wealth distribution, why is the lorenz curve considered to be a straight line?  For example, in that case, how would you decided which 10% of the population is the "bottom" 10% ?  As a mathematical technicality, don't we have to assume that individuals with equal wealth will be ranked in some arbitrary order?

replies: text: Good point. I created this article originally, with Tidworth defined specifically as a 'garrison town' (since reduced to just 'town'). Is there another level of settlement size/status between town and village?

Talk:Marianne Faithfull

message: Surprised that is nowhere to be found on this page yet. The history goes from 'she broke up with Jagger and ended up losing custody of her daughter then became homeless.' I think she started sleeping with the heroin dealer Pam Courson had been banging, then that guy killed Morrison, and then killed himself less than a year later (also a wanderer who had a title). Apparently, Marianne's account of not really knowing what happened, just having heard it all second hand and refusing to answer any questions about details has made her less than credible.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Codeslubber (talk • contribs) 23:31, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Taotao Mona

message: This article comes pretty much from memory after visting Guam 5-6 years ago. If any Guamanians can throw more light on the Taotao Mona, this article would be enriched by that.
Note - created by user Firstfox. I just created myself an account after doing this :-D
:: What kind of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes to properly guide the topic of this article?
The lead section provides a brief summary that highlights the article's main points.
The structure is easy to comprehend but could provide more subheadings, details of Taotao Mo'na, and images or illustrations.
The descriptions written under academic accounts and behavior of Taotao mo'na's are very broad which makes the topic unbalanced between facts and stories.
The coverage of the article is neutral but requires more information. However, the information already listed on the Wikipedia article art relevant conversation starters.
This article requires more references since it only includes three citations with one link that is marked as missing. Is it possible to re-cite this?

message: Knaggs was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was CONSENSUS NOT REACHED
Article created by User:Knaggs, and there's nothing particularly wrong with it, I just feel it's not notable enough for an encyclopedia and if it belongs anywhere it really belongs in the wiktionary surnames list rather than here. -- Graham  ☺ | Talk 13:28, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: *Are surname etymology/origin and geneology entirely inseparable?  I mean, I understand the objection that geneology has no place in wikipedia, but this article discusses the origins of the name, rather than creating a family tree of those who have it.  I think its fine for us to have articles about surnames as long as those articles don't become family trees. Posiduck 20:08, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I know, and I'm not as comfortable with the delete or keep as I would like.  Etymology is a dictionary endeavor, so surname etymologies would go to Wiktionary.  If, on the other hand, an article can be made on a family's fortunes (the Percy's, for example, or the Churchills) that consistently inherit a place in the world and position in society, I'd say keep, but those would be articles, again, about people and not words.

Talk:Exploration logging

message: This article is history of Baker Hughes Inteq company, not 'Exploration Logging'. Exploration Logging was name of a company (EXLOG). 
FYI- Different kinds of Logging for Oil & Gas exploration are: Mud Logging, Wireline Logging a.k.a 'Well Logging'
Wireline logging is essentially geophysical logging; exploration logging is pretty ambiguous. Mud logging is essentially geological logging...of rock chips...in drilling mud So it should be separated too. Exploration logging viz 'use of logging in mineral exploration' isn't a technique or technology; its an objective use of many different skills and techniques.
Wireline logging and geophysical logging can exist under geophysical logging. So I've moved it there. Rolinator 08:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Chinese art

replies: text: Thanks.

text: I think the reason some recent authors have changed the name to "on marketing strategy" is the problem of proving causation. The original researchers developed correlations between variables and then made the not unreasonable assumption that it was the strategic variables that caused profitability rather than the other way around. However, as mentioned in the article, some recent researchers question this assumption. mydogategodshat 19:06, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
