thread_title: Major rewrite

message: The current status of the article looks good to me.  Looks like an objective look at virtually all of the several POVs on this topic.Altruistguy (talk) 23:02, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Looks Good 

message: The current version only speaks to cost differential vs. Index Funds and vs. Active Mamagement:
"The success of enhanced indexing is likely correlated to the degree of extra cost running an enhanced index fund. Tax-managed strategies are not expensive to implement, while the active management strategies would incur a higher cost structure."
While this may be true, the 'enhancement' from the Index is at least intended to deliver excess return. So it seems there are really three determinants of excess return: 
1. Effectiveness of the index construction to accurately replicate the underlying index
2. Cost of the strategy
3. Excess return generated by the actively 'enhanced' portion of the portfolio.

Talk:Karloff–Zwick algorithm

message: i would love to either stub this or categorise this to give it some more exposure but what is this about? *puzzled* Tyhopho 22:09, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does this page say nothing about the well-known "trivial" algorithm which independently assigns each variable to true or false (with probability 1/2), and therefore satisfies 7/8 fraction of the clauses in expectation on any instance? That algorithm can also be easily derandomized by the textbook method of conditional expectations. Am I missing something here? Piyush (talk) 03:08, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Karloff and Zwick allow some of the clauses to have fewer than three variables; the trivial algorithm doesn't work in that case. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:16, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that's a fair point.  Though given that Hastad's reduction (as far as I know) only needs clauses with three variables, I think we should still add what the actual motivation for this algorithm is in the article.  Should I go ahead and do that? Piyush (talk) 02:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, I think that makes sense. It would probably also be a good idea to clarify the difference in assumptions between the trivial algorithm and the Karloff–Zwick one, since currently we just say "3SAT" without explanation and different authors use that to mean different things. Usually it doesn't make much difference but here I guess it does. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:44, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I made some changes: it'd be great if you could have a look.  Also, I think there is still a slight inaccuracy in the way Hastad's result is stated (the Karloff-Zwick algorithm is optimal only if we assume RP \neq NP, since it is a randomized algorithm).  But I am not sure if spelling this out in full detail is the right way to fix this for an encyclopedia article.  Piyush (talk) 02:39, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Paloalto (band)

message: I feel that a link to Paloalto's MySpace would be relevant here.  Wikipedia has taken the time to create a MySpace template, which implies that external links to MySpace are some of the most useful and most frequently used external links.  As MySpace pages consist almost entirely of personal userpages and pages for small bands, and I don't think there are many good reasons to link to personal MySpace pages, it seems that Wikipedia is implicitly endorsing links to small bands' MySpace pages.  Unless I hear an opposing viewpoint, I am going to re-establish the MySpace link deleted by CoastToCoast.  Following that, if the link is deleted without some justification on this talk page, it will be considered an act of vandalism.Dave Runger 22:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mikołaj Krzysztof Sapieha

message: Two notes: 1) it is possible there were 2 Mikołaj Krzysztof Sapieha's living more or less at the same time - one voivode, and one the recorder married to Zuzanna (two sources give two different offices, and it would be strange for him to become a voivode at the age of 5). Second - it is possible Wilkie is a mispelling or Wilki.

Talk:Le Mans 24h races

message: The 905 were qualified first because the firsty position on the grid were reserved to the 3.5 L cars... Ericd 22:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: 905 Qualifying

message: With the existance of individual race pages, it seems that this page is no longer really necessary.  The brief reviews listed on this page should, theoretically, be placed on the individual race page.  So first off, it'd be good to move all the reviews on this paage to the individual race pages (after some clean up), and as well to write brief reviews for races that are not mentioned yet here.
Once moved, this article will no longer be necessary and I'd say we can have it deleted.  A more brief history about major events or streaks can then be placed on the main 24 Hours of Le Mans article, so we can cover all our bases.
Any other ideas? The359 03:23, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  There's no reason to have this page as well as the individual race pages. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 05:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I disagree.  Or only partly agree.  This page is a useful means to find the other pages.  Move the reviews, and make this purely an index page.  This page is referred to by the main article(24 Hours of Le Mans#Races), and that seems convenient. Or would a Category be appropriate?--SportWagon 06:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A category might be more appropriate, since I don't know what else would go in this besides a list.  We could link to the category from the main page. --Spyder_Monkey (Talk) 07:16, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ronald Reagan Trail

message: It's not exactly a historical trail, in the sense that it was frequently used, except by Ronald Reagan himself. It is a little bit more like the Lewis and Clark National Historical Trail and a lot more like the Great River Road, which is in :Category:Mississippi River. It may be best like the Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive in Wisconsin, an article which does not exist.
That's why I didn't categorize it to begin with, and why I hesitate to put it in :Category:Historic trails and roads in the United States now. =) —Rob (talk) 14:57, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Orr (surname)

message: Please transfer the listing of individual Orrs to Orr (disambiguation), a page specially created to list all such people.

replies: text: Thanks for your suggestion. I had actually considered removing the individuals from the disambig page, in contrast to what you've suggested. The reason I added the names was because I modelled the article, in part, on the article for McCarthy. Please advise further. --Mal 22:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, looking that the McCarthy page, it lists places and people. Perhaps a different suggestion would be to rename the Orr (surname) to Orr after that article has been renamed (as was your proposal), and the article reworded afterwards to reflect this, and a disambig tag added. In that way, the Orr page would become very much like the McCarthy page. The McCarthy page does have a history, albeit a short one. I'd be willing to keep an eye out and make the appropriate changes when they need made. Your thoughts? --Mal 23:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The towns named Orrville, as far as I understand, were named after people called Orr. In that sense they surely belong very much in the article I created? --Mal 23:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No the disambiguation page is only for things known as "Orr" which might therefore be confused. It is not for listing everyone with a particular last name. Rmhermen 23:21, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cleft sentence

message: What's the difference between a cleft and a pseudo-cleft sentence?
:An example of a cleft would be:
::It was the cheese that the mouse ate.
:A pseudo-cleft expressing the same thing, and with the same focus, would be:
::What the mouse ate was the cheese.
:This is also known as a 'specificational pseudo-cleft' (since Higgins 1973), not to be confused with the predicational pseudo-cleft (if it even is a pseudo-cleft; perhaps it should be a pseudo-pseudo-cleft!), an example of which is:
::What the mouse ate was covered with mould.

message: Fictional event, mostly PRIMARY sources, pure PLOT, fails GNG/NFICTION. While the article cites some non-PRIMARY sources, they do not provide in-depth analysis of this. For example, the lead mentions an article in The New Yorker (), but it mentions this event only in passing in a single sentence.

Yet, without any explanation, the article turns around in the next sentences and says that Goody's Family Clothing (NOT "Stage Stores") reopened stores in the southeast!
