However you can observe an interesting trend when discussing product prices: in order to emphasize the good deal he's made, the biased shopper will use both currencies, like: "This was 1.200.000 lei, just got it at a great discount with 80 lei". 2A02:A58:820F:9200:2CCB:4E9F:FD2A:7C9 (talk) 09:51, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:List of micronations/Archive 1

message: This is a list of micronations that have an historic verifiable existence documented in both online and offline sources that includes interaction with established real world governments or organisations, and which have articles on Wikipedia.
This definition is utterly useless.  Nearly any organization can be shown to have a verifiable existence documented in both online and offline sources that includes interaction with established real world governments or organisations.  So any "micronation", which we describe as "entities that resemble independent states, but for the most part exist only on paper, on the internet, or in the minds of their creators" with an article on Wikipedia would qualify. In fact, by that silly definition of micronation, something like Sealand, which is one of the few places I would expect to be on this list, wouldn't qualify (as it clearly exists right here in the real world). anthony (see warning) 14:22, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:1999 Honolulu shootings

message: Maybe this article shouldn't be named for Uyesugi, but instead called something like "1999 Xerox massacre": that's really the subject, not the (otherwise unencyclopedic) Uyesugi. Other than a move, the opening paragraph would need to be tweaked to reflect the "new" subject.

Talk:Recall bias

message: I didn't give any real-life examples, because the example from the ABC hypothesis page seemed difficult and unworthwhile to explain simply, and I couldn't find any other good examples. (Google pulled up various pages that discussed it, but none seemed to give a good, illustrative connection to a specific study; the pages all either spoke in generalities, or stated that the results of the studies they described were not skewed by recall bias. This, incidentally, is probably a result of publication bias; scientists are less likely to publish a study whose results they think might be skewed by recall bias.) At any rate, I decided hypothetical examples would illustrate the point better; but I'm definitely open to better examples, especially illustrative real-life examples, if anyone has them. Ruakh 07:47, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Choice of examples 

message: One study that I wanted to include, but didn't remember enough details of, is one I read about once in U.S. News (I think), that actually measured the latter type of recall bias. The researchers took three groups of women and surveyed them about their sexual desires, or something to that effect (maybe it asked whether they ever masturbated?). The difference in the three groups was in how guaranteed the anonymity of their answers seemed; I don't remember exactly how they all were, but it was something like:
#(least anonymous-seeming) gave survey directly to researcher, with guarantee of confidentiality (so the researcher would know who it was).
#folded their surveys and gave them to the researcher (so the researcher might know who it was).
#(most anonymous-seeming) folded their surveys and put them in a slot in a locked box, with all the other women's survey results (so the researcher could not know who it was).
What they found was the percentage of women in group #3 who admitted to certain kinds of sexual desires was greater than that in group #2, which was greater than that in group #1. I think the overall point was that the percentage of women in group #3 who admitted to these things was about the same as the percentage of men who admitted to these things, even though prior surveys had seemed to show that fewer women than men had these desires. So the survey demonstrated the effect of recall/response bias. Ruakh 07:47, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Batya Gur

message: Hoziron, forgive me for playing the teacher, for the most part you did a good job, but some idioms you should learn for future reference:
*ספר עיון means, simply, "non-fiction", not "theoretical"
* הוציא/ הוציאה is usually short for הוציא לאור/הוציאה לאור, i.e., "published", not "put out".
* in modern usage, השכלה often means "education" as opposed to "enlightenment", and משכיל is usually used to mean "educated". If you want to described a person as enlightened, the word is נאור.
* נוגה (noogeh) when applied to a person more often means "wistful" than anything to do with light, though the noun נוגה (noga) does mean "glow" ("bright" was a good guess).
Good luck with your studies. --Woggly 08:02, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Triplet

message: I want to get this right.  I'll mostly ignore the unproductive inflamatory comments (Confused?  How about Insulting!).
As is, the description of a triplet in quantum mechanics is not general enough.  A triplet state doesn't have to be derived from two fermions.  In the oxygen molecule, for example, there are 16 electrons making up the triplet ground state.  Many other atoms or molecules have spin triplets, and only a few (hydrogen molecule and helium-like atoms) have exactly two electrons.  Also, the W and Z bosons have spin 1 and exist in spin triplets by themselves.
So I suggest, the following wording as an evolution of the current description:
*in quantum mechanics, a spin triplet is a set of three quantum states of a system, each with total spin S=1.  
It still doesn't mention the difference between the three states of a triplet, only the similarities.

I am considering noting how this "explanation" is given after he describes of reading about ongoing local political/legal issues of teaching evolution in Tennessee schools, and how the area is site of the historic "Scopes Monkey Trial." The "powerful urge..." is sort of the punchline of a joke associating the American south with creationism and cultural backwardness.
