Talk:Igneous differentiation

message: This term is used in several places in this article, but is no where defined.  I've found a couple definitions on the web.  It would be nice if some knowledgeable editor would add a definition to the article, as it seems a fundamental concept.
:Liquid line of descent: relates series of liquids derived from single parent magma
:Liquid line of descent: The chemical trend (or gradation in composition) exhibited by an igneous rock series if and when such a trend is interpreted to represent a change in the chemical composition of the parental magma of this series due to the process of fractional crystallization. A liquid line of descent is therefore equivalent to "the crystallization path" of the parental magma, and is best shown by plotting the chemical compositions of either aphyric (phenocryst free) or glassy volcanic rocks on variation diagrams. 
:Figure 12.17 illustrates a magma's chemical evolution, called the liquid line-of-descent, as it undergoes fraction crystallization.
:It is often thought, in fact assumed, that variation diagrams represent the liquid line-of-descent, the path of magmatic evolution followed by an evolving liquid. Volcanic rocks, or fine-grained rocks in general, are often considered to represent liquid compositions.

Talk:Phenocryst

message: Is there any difference between a megacryst and a phenocryst? If not, then that stub ought to be a redirect here.  —SMALLJIM  13:41, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: A good question. This paper does distinguish between xenocrysts, megacrysts and phenocrysts, but after reading it I'm no clearer on the distinction. Mikenorton (talk) 12:56, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I see what you mean. Xenocryst is a redirect to, and is defined in xenolith as "an individual foreign crystal included within an igneous body". And I've just found https://www.accessscience.com/content/506500 which explains the difference between pheno- and mega- crysts (and porphyroblasts (which article also introduces the porphyroclast)) – simple! Anyway, the questions now are: 1. Can that Access Science definition be trusted? If so, phenocryst needs a bit of a rewrite; and 2. Do we need Megacryst as a separate article, or would it be best explained in Phenocryst?  —SMALLJIM  16:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the reference is fine. It seems reasonable to keep Megacryst separate, almost like a disambiguation page for phenocryst, porphyroblast and xenocryst. I've added the above reference to the megacryst article as a start to this structure. Klbrain (talk) 07:27, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Multistage sampling

message: Probability-proportional-to-size sampling is a type of multistage cluster sampling. In this method, the probability of selecting an element in any given cluster varies inversely with the size of the cluster.
I removed this bit because (a) PPS is not necessarily a multistage technique (it's used as a single-stage technique in e.g. samples of businesses), and (b) selection probability in PPS varies proportionally to size, not inversely.
I suspect this might come from some confusion about multi-stage designs where the ultimate object is to give all bottom-level elements the same selection probability. One way to do this is by selecting clusters PPS in the first stage (bigger clusters have a higher probability of selection) and then applying inverse of cluster size in the second stage, when we're sub-selecting within clusters. But in this case, the 'PPS' bit is the first stage, and the 'varies inversely with size' bit is the second stage - they're not the same thing. --144.53.226.17 (talk) 03:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This article is as bad as cluster sampling (which mixes up stratified sampling with cluster sampling). Multistage sampling should be renamed Complex sampling cf. current literature, most of the contents should be moved to cluster sampling (which should briefly cover both two-stage and one-stage cluster sampling, and briefly with and without replacement). Complex sampling should then cover multistage, weighting, stratification and post-stratification all at once (but each of them can have their own pages). That would be very clear and good for those wanting to learn. I don't mind doing it with enough votes. Sda030 (talk) 05:23, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Bulgaria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007

message: Stop vandalizing this page you moron! Who gives you the right to decide what a page can contain?
I am just making sure it is consistant with all of the other pages about the countries. This page isn't about the national final and it  doesnt need 5 pictures that arent related to the topic. If you want to talk about who came in first, second, and third, then I suggest you click here Pesen Na Evrovizija 2007 and write an article about the competition. This page is only related to the participation of Bulgaria at Eurovision, not that Karizma came in second place and everything else. The song information you constantly post here can be already found on another page called Voda. Evilperson 20 15:57, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is focused mainly on the participation of Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 and not the national final. The article Pesen Na Evrovizija 2007 needs a complete rewrite as it duplicates the information found on this page. That information does not focus on the national final. The other editor here does not understand this and a conflict now exists. Evilperson 20 00:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a reason why this article should focus on BG's participation in ESC 2007 and not contain information on all the stages of selection of Bulgaria's ESC entry? Is there a Wikipedia or ESC Project policy on this that I'm not aware of? Is this article getting so long that information on the selection procedure should be split off into its own article? Preslav 07:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article focuses on Bulgaria's participation at Eurovision and not on the individual national selection. The information from the national selection has already been covered in this article and also the final scoreboard is also present. The article on Pesen Na Evrovizija should go more in depth on the semi-final and others news surrounding the event rather than copying the information from this article. If you view the other pages of the other countries, you will see that this format is carried through. Example, Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 and Melodi Grand Prix 2007.

text: This is definitely a real case, and I can confirm that it's in both the Westlaw and Lexis Advance Quicklaw databases. It's cited approvingly in this 2013 Alberta Court of Queen's Bench case (Para. 61) by the learned judge. Justice Epstein isn't on that page because she is still an active supernumerary judge on the Ontario Court of Appeal. Online decisions of cases are generally notoriously incomplete, especially for old cases and for cases dealt with at the level of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The .pdf is unofficial, but it does seem to be prima facie, a faithful reproduction. You're correct to say that Carswell is a legal reference publisher, because that's what CarswellOntario is referring to: presumably the Carswell publication that publishes Ontario decisions. This is analogous to how "Ontario Reports" is a publication and not a place called Ontario Reports, Ontario with a court. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Trachyte

message: User:Nwbeeson changed the Introduction/Lead paragraph to 
"Trachyte is an igneous volcanic rock composed of two distinctly different sized crystals most of which are too small to be seen. It is the volcanic equivalent of syenite. The mineral assemblage consists mostly of tiny crystals of essential alkali feldspar, with a relatively minor amount of large plagioclase and quartz crystals. The large crystals are sometimes a feldspathoid such as nepheline. (See the QAPF diagram). Biotite, clinopyroxene and olivine are common accessory minerals."
I think this is less accurate than the previous (imperfect) version, which I have restored. Most, but not all, trachytes are porphyritic (two distinctly different sized crystals). The section does need to be improved but I think it needs to be reworded in such a way that it avoids giving the incorrect impression that trachyte is always porphyritic.

Talk:Michael Fedele

message: Mike Fedele's biography on the state's lieutenant governor website states that he is the "107th" lieutenant governor of Connecticut. This figure is mentioned in this article's first paragraph. However, this article's infobox lists Fedele as just the "87th." The difference in numbers here is severe –  a gap of 20.
The infobox for Jodi Rell lists her as having been the 85th lieutenant governor, and the one on Kevin B. Sullivan says that he was the 86th. This seems to logically suggest that Fedele is therefore the 87th, but then why does the state list it differently? Are they, perhaps, counting lieutenant governors form Connecticut's colonial period in their count?
Regardless of why, this article cannot claim that Fedele is both the 107th and 87th lieutenant governor. We need to pick a standard – a reliable and accurate one – and go with it. Please help me figure out which figure should be used to refer to Michael Fedele's order. Thank you! --Sgt. R.K. Blue (talk) 06:32, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Fedele is the 107th LT Governor. The number is higher because: 1) several LT's were elevated to Governor, 2) serveral Governors had multiple LTs (heck, John N. Dempsey had 4! Cross had 3, etc...). The list :List of lieutenant governors of Connecticut bears it out 87+33 = 120. Remove the ones that held it multiple times and it comes out to 107. This is a bit of accounting trickery on the part of the State, as if you consider :List of colonial governors of Connecticut, they don't count all the Governors either (IE: they count each one once, not how many times a Governor served ala Grover Cleaveland with the US Presidency!!) yet start the modern governor list at #16.Markvs88 (talk) 14:16, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
