Talk:Osteopathic medicine in the United States

message: I have deleted the claim about full practice rights to perform medicine and surgery in 85 countries, as it is inaccurate and unsupported by an independent source. It is a substantial claim that MUST be supported by evidence.  In addition, I have removed the claim that osteopaths have the right to full practice in the UK, because it is also incorrect. In the UK, Osteopaths cannot prescribe or perform surgery as a medically qualified Dr would.Vectronn (talk) 10:51, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, "osteopaths cannot prescribe or perform surgery."  However, the article makes clear, repeatedly, that it is talking about US-trained Osteopathic physicians, and not Osteopaths (such as a UK-trained Osteopath).  The title of the article is "Osteopathic medicine in the United States."  It is rare, but US-educated and trained osteopathic physicians have moved to UK and been granted a license to practice medicine in UK. Bryan Hopping T  04:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Full practice rights. 

message: I keep getting confused by the varied definitions and terminologies we are all throwing around. Can we agree to only use the definitions found here?
Let's use these terms:
# A DO (short for Doctor of Osteopathy) is a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (only trained in the USA). In the USA, they are legally equal to Doctors of Medicine (MD).
# An Osteopath is a non-physician alternative medical practitioner trained elsewhere with educations that are less than a Doctorate level degree. Besides manual medical training, they include other woo woo ideas in their practice.

message: "[T]he standards of the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation. . .  do not mandate that an osteopathic college must bear the expense of maintaining a high full-time faculty : student ratio.."
Isn't there a problem underlying inclusion of this statement?  
Isn't a high (say 20:1) full-time faculty:student ratio undesirable?
Isn't a low (say 7-1) full-time faculty:student ratio desirable?
Then why would it be beneficial for the standards to require a college to bear the expense of maintaining a high full-time faculty:student ratio? BillTheGorilla (talk) 00:33, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Spectral leakage

message: > No, windowing is not the cause of leakage
This comment is correct.
DFT leakage is introduced when you have a sine of let's say 50 kHz, but decide to sample this signal at not 400 kHz, but 500 kHz (fsample is not a multiple of fsine).
Windowing is a technique which you can apply to your sample data (rectangular, hamming, hanning, sine / essentially multiply by another signal of lower frequency) to reduce the DFT leak drastically.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.118.94.49 (talk) 19:32, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Huh?  An article with this title should start by saying what spectral leakage is.  And it should follow Wikipedia's bolding convention.  And this link that superficially looks like a self-link should be put elsewhere and it should be clear what it is.  Michael Hardy 22:01, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Right.  That's why it's a stub and always has been.  But the stuff I replaced was worse, because it was misinformation.  As I say in an embedded comment:  "Can't redirect to a subtopic (Window_function#Spectral_analysis), or else I would be tempted."  --Bob K 23:10, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Ajgorton says:  "Windowing IS NOT the cause of leakge. When the signal is NOT PERIODIC within the time timeblock, leakage will occur. Windows attempt to resolve this issue."  
Then how do you explain that the continuous time Fourier transform of any windowed cosine function is no longer a dirac delta?  
--Bob K 08:35, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yes, windowing IS the cause of leakage 

message: In response to the comment above: If you choose the window to be identically equal to one, then the continuous-time windowed Fourier transform of a cosine remains a Dirac delta function.  
Having said that, the usefulness of windowing is not in situations like this, where the signal is known analytically "for all time", but in situations where the signal has been truncated to a finite length (as would be the case in any conceivable practical application).  In such cases, windowing is an effective technique to reduce broad-band spectral leakage.  This is covered in many undergraduate-level books on signal processing.
:An infinite-length window is no window at all.  Please don't waste our time with semantic games.

message: For the moment I don't want to add anything on advertising as the level of use for such is fairly unique, such as the above mentioned Mickey Mouse. However, multiple projects do use merchandising as part of their overall show for real-world impact and these elements routinely pass GAN and FAN proposals as indicating a level of real-world impact.

On the topic of majority decisions on interpeting reality it's worth thinking of something Asimov once said (allegedly):
"When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."

message: After seeing my additions of "Citation needed" templates reverted twice, I am seeking feedback from other editors; the editor who reverted and I obviously have differing viewpoints. The edit summary accompanying the second removal of the templates says, in part, "... If we add a reference for every easily verifiable fact the article will be cluttered."
In light of that edit summary, how many of the following items qualify as exceptions to Wikipedia:Verifiability? How many are "easily verifiable"?
*Poston's birth name
*Poston's date of birth
*Poston's winning an Emmy Award and being nominated for three more
*Poston's being cast in a film from which his scenes were deleted
*Poston's role in a play in St. Louis
*Poston's being a longtime friend of Bob Newhart
With regard to the Emmy items, the edit summary also said, in part, "An Emmy nod doesn't require a citation as it's already indexed here on Wiki." I have understood that content of each article needs its own sourcing, regardless of whether it is sourced elsewhere in Wikipedia.
I consider good sourcing to be a strength of a Wikipedia article, rather than seeing it as clutter. How are exceptions like those itemized above decided? Eddie Blick (talk) 03:04, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

Use of first person is odd, and I suggest moving the link to a Reference section, rather than saying: "I refer you to".  Certainly, discussion of the licensing of the photographs does not belong in the article itself! Also:
