Talk:John W. Nystrom

message: "I am not afraid, or do not hesitate, to advocate a binary system of arithmetic and metrology. I know I have nature on my side; if I do not succeed to impress upon you its utility and great importance to mankind, it will reflect that much less credit upon our generation, upon scientific men and philosophers."
(Quotation: John W. Nystrom, ca. 1863)
Since there is no citation for this quote (even the year is given with uncertainty), I am removing it.  If anyone can verify a source, feel free to add it back to the article.

Talk:RAF Mildenhall

message: In the trivia section, it says Prior to the the 9/11 bombings when the base was open to the public, RAF Mildenhall's Galaxy Club was considered to be one of Britain's top night clubs.
I can attest to that, as I was stationed at RAF Alconbury (about an hour drive away) and we would go to Mildenhall to club once or twice a month - bwmoll3
No you can't attest to that, as going to one nightclub doesn't make an RAF base club the best "nightclub" in the whole of the UK. Which it obviously isn't.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.1.73.23 (talk) 13:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

message: RE:
The issue at hand appears to be whether Philip Agee counts as a 'reliable source' on this subject. Philip Agee does not appear to be an academic historian nor a scholar who's writings are peer-reviewed, and so his opinion fails the criteria set forward in Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Reliability_of_specific_source_types. If the position he is presenting is a widespread, mainstream (or even controversial) opinion, then an alternative, reliable source should be found to represent it - perhaps a secondary source which itself cites Agee and gives context to his opinion. If no other sources stating this position can be found it should be removed.  --Davémon 21:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Removed unsourced sentences

message: The "profits" were repatriated by private companies that invested capital into Latin America, presumably building up the local economy in the process. The "debts" had to be paid because that's what you usually do after borrowing, you pay back your debts. And the "aid" was given by the American government to local governments and other institutions to further whatever aims the donor officials wanted to achieve. So what does it matter what the "net capital flow" was if these things have little relationship one to the other? If there were no aid, would the net flow be better? Maybe yes, maybe no, but so far this reads like uninformed leftist propaganda, not meaningful economic reasoning. 76.24.104.52 (talk) 23:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

"It is the only place in the world where new steam locomotives are produced."
If locomotives intended for leisure railways count then there are at least two other manufacturers: Alan Keef (UK) and 16 Februarie (Romania).
If it refers to steam locomotives built for serious transport use, a Chinese manufacturer (I have no idea which one) very probably was the last, but such use in China ended a few years ago.
As far as I could tell from an Altavista Babelfish translation, the Chinese version doesn't have this statement and doesn't mention QJs, and does have more information.

Talk:Distributive lattice

message: :Finally distributivity entails several other pleasant properties. For example, an element of a distributive lattice is meet-prime if and only if it is meet-irreducible, though the latter is in general a weaker property.

thread_title: Confused by intro

message: In the representation theory section, it is stated that every distributive lattice is isomorphic to a lattice of sets, but the theorems cited for infinite lattices work for bounded lattices. It can be a little confusing; maybe we should add that every distributive lattice can be extended to a bounded one (by adding top and bottom if needed) without losing distributivity in the process.
Jose Brox (talk) 12:04, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Representation theory may need a remark

message: I wonder if omitting the 0 at the start of the second sequence of Dedekind numbers is fully justified. If we "disallow empty meets and joins", then the empty partial order is a valid option, which suggests its inclusion, but on the other hand lattices are required to have *some* top and bottom element, which makes the empty order not a (distributive) lattice. Since the sequence is preceded by a comment about there being two fewer elements, a comment should be made to justify the omission. M. Rogers, 29 March 2019
:I think the omission of 0 is a typo; OEIS includes it, and mentions the free distributive lattice count. I checked the lattice definition in Gratzer.2003, and don't see why the empty partial order shouldn't be a lattice, and vacuously a distributive one. Therefore, I'll add the 0. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 16:47, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:The Seasons (poem)

message: The article currently describes the hexameter as quantitative but I've found this description which says it is not:
"Donelaitis' hexameters are modern in the sense that grammatical stress has been substituted for syllable length, on the same principle as German and Russian verse. In spite of the fact that Lithuanian has quantity as well as stress, there are no lines in Metai in which syllable length, rather than word stress, constitutes the measure of the hexameter." (from page 264 of Šilbajoris, R. (1982). Kristijonas Donelaitis, A Lithuanian Classic. Slavic Review, 41(02), 251–265. doi:10.2307/2496342 ) 
Is there just an error in the article or is there something more to the story? Haukur (talk) 11:59, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: @Haukur: It looks like newest sources describe it as "metrotonic hexameter". Same is repeated in Visuotinė lietuvių enciklopedija . Found this: "Recent research has shown that the Lithuanian poet combined not only accented and unaccented, but also long and short syllables. Such a sequence should be called a metrotonic hexameter because it combines the meter (long and short syllables) and the tone (accented and unaccented syllables)." (translated from here). Also: "The poem has features of both didactic and heroic epic and is composed in metrotonic hexameter, well-suited for the Lithuanian language (the synthesis of metric and tonic hexameter is Donelaitis' discovery)." from here. It looks like this "recent research" is by Aleksas Girdenis (his article „Naujesnis žvilgsnis į K. Donelaičio hegzametrą“, in: Pergalė, Vilnius, 1989, Nr. 1, pp. 100–122 which was later expanded and republished elsewhere but I don't have access to either of these publications so can't verify).

Talk:Youth for Christ

message: I think the style of writing is not objective enough in this article. Here are my examples:
"This great movement also eventually gave birth or helped to birth several other ministries: World Vision, Gospel Films, and - of course - the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association." It may seem minor, but by what criteria is this a "great movement" and why the "of course"?
"Youth for Christ (YFC) follows the motto of "Geared to the times, anchored to the Rock" in an attempt to help equip young people to minister to each other." That that is the motto and that is a stated aim  may be a fact; that youth for Christ follows that motto or attempts these things is an opinion.
"YFC's Church Resource Department aims to serve the local church, right across the denominations, as it works with children and young people, providing all the necessary resources and support for effective Christian youth work, as well as supporting and nurturing local Youth Workers." This is attempting to portray it in a positive light eg. "right across" denominations has unnecessary stress, and there is the value judgement that it does indeed provide "all the necessary resources and support for effective Christian youth work, as well as supporting and nurturing local Youth Workers." and the implication that this is a laudable aim.
The article is riddled with this stye and in my opinion needs rewriting. Faulkling 14:27, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
