Talk:P-adic division algorithm

message: I have found sources describing division algorithms for p-adic numbers (e.g. http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hehner/ratno.pdf) but could not find any source for the algorithm described here.

Talk:Canada–Ukraine relations

message: This page should use the WP standard.  Until the main article moves from Kiev to Kyiv, that means using Kiev allthough many Ukrainian-Canadian (including myself) may not like it.  I will revert the recent change back to Kiev. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 03:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kyiv / Kiev 

message: This article needs a fair bit of cleanup. Stylistically, it's all over the place, and doesn't feel like it comes from a single voice, much less an encyclopedic one. In several places it emphasizes critiques of particular prime ministerial tenures in a way that puts too much emphasis on domestic politics. I could see a version of this article that used the tenures of various governments as section headers, if they would be useful dividing points for Canada-Ukraine relations, but as it is there are too many asides about which party did what.
On that note, the article also needs to be reorganized and restructured. Right now it reads like several lists of events divided into rough topic areas, which have a lot of overlap. A more narrative structure would probably be helpful. My instinct is to, as I suggested above, divide it into eras, with the seperating points either being the starts of new Ukrainian or Canadian governments, or shifts around .
There should probably be at least some discussion of the development of Ukrainian culture and nationalism within Canada from the era before Ukraine's independance, which contributed both to Ukraine's current national identity as well as Canada's current close relationship with Ukraine.

thread_title:  Pronunciation? 

message: I have repeated my edits regarding the disbandment of this force and the abolition of its financial underpinnings in 1050-1, which is clearly reported in the principal contemporary source for English history in this period. If there is evidence of the subsequent re-establishment of these institutions, please provide references to primary sources or to secondary works on this specific subject, or at least on the history of England in this particular period - not a book on the Rus and a book on runes, neither of which can be considered to carry much weight as sources on Anglo-Danish history.
I suspect that the problem here may be a confusion between huscarls - merely the Scandinavian term, also used in England after the Danish conquest, for the household warriors of a king or other great lord, which was a ubiquitous feature of Germanic and semi-Germanic societies from prehistory through to the late Middle Ages - and the very specific, and for the early medieval West highly unusual, institution of a small standing army/fleet based on national direct taxation, which was established by Cnut on the basis of precedents and systems developed in Aethelred's reign and eventually abolished by Edward. References to the presence of the former in no way imply the existence of the latter.

Talk:Battle of Antioch on the Meander

message: As the "First Battle Of Meander Valley" has had its name changed, this battle should be changed to the "Battle of The Meander Valley" as there is no longer a first for it to be second to.
Urselius (talk) 11:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name change 

message: There is an error in the geography of this article. Antioch of Psidia is at present Yalvaç in Ιsparta province of Turkey. Meander is at present Büyük Menderes River. The Valley of Büyük Menderes River never gets near Yalvaç which is much more miles and miles easterly than the source of Büyük Menderes River. There is whole series of mountains and a big lake, Lake Eğirdir, between Yalvaç (Antioch of Psidia) and Büyük Menderes valley. Anybody with knowledge of geography or history should not make this material error. What worries me is that if the writer gets the basic material fact (the location of a supposed battle), wrong, what else has he got right!!!! This article definitely requires an expert opinion at least by a person who has knowledge of terrain of and real history (not a made-up one) of Turkey. 88.106.218.10 (talk) 22:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is some confusion with the geography, but everything else in this article is not in such heavy detail that it casts doubt; so calm yourself. Tourskin (talk) 01:48, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  What you have to ask yourself is were there any sizeable settlements between Antioch and the site of the battle?  If not then the description 'in the Meander Valley near Antioch' is valid. The major Ancient and Medieval settlement in the Meander valley was Laodicea (actually on the Lycus river where it entered the Meander valley) if the site of the battle was nearer Antioch than Laodicea then, despite Antioch not being actually in the valley, it would be the nearest major town and a useful point of reference.  In "Ramsay, W. M., Antiquities of Southern Phrygia and the Border Lands (I) The American Journal of Archaeology and of the History of the Fine Arts, Vol. 3, No. 3/4 (Dec., 1887), p. 346" the author talks of a bridge over the Meander River in Roman times as being near Antioch. Mark C. Bartusis in his book "The Late Byzantine Army" also places Theodore's victory at Antioch and the Meander Valley (p. 22). Urselius (talk) 12:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Just worked it out there was another Antioch, smaller than Antioch in Pisidia, called Antioch-on-the-Meander (famous as the birthplace of the sculptor of the Venus de Milo) near a place called 'Yeni Shehr' at some time. Urselius (talk) 14:13, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The Battle of the Books

message: The article initially said that the library was St. James Library, but not which Library it was.

replies: text: That's great.  I confess that I had never investigated.  Swift himself said that it was "St. James Library," and I never even considered tracking the reference.  It's always good to have this kind of information.  What would also be good is to find out if Le Lutrin had a similar "location" for its battle.  If it does (my French is weak, but Swift was excellent at French), then the 'translation' would be a critical comment from Swift.  Geogre 14:11, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't the Comparison Section read:
Flash is based on the floating gate concept, essentially a modified transistor. Conventional MOS transistors have three connections, the source, drain and gate. The gate is the essential component of the transistor, controlling the resistance between the source and drain, and thereby acting as a switch. In the floating gate transistor, the gate is isolated and embedded in an insulating layer base that allows it to trap electrons, leaving the transistor switched on (or off) for extended periods of time. The floating gate can be re-written by imposing a relatively high voltage across it from the source-drain circuit and a second gate electrode.
