Talk:Roy Zimmerman (satirist)

replies: text: He mentions at the beginning of Vergangenheitsbewaeltigung that he is half-German, half-Swedish. Tromboneguy0186 12:06, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

text: The paragraph is indeed not right. It was messed up (I am sure not deliberately -- I think the person who did it was trying to improve the style and misunderstood what was already there) in 2020-10. The songs he performed at "Rock Beyond Belief" included "I want a marriage like they had in the Bible", "Defenders of Marriage", "Creation Science 101", and "Jerry Falwell's God", but can't possibly have included "The Liar Tweets Tonight". I'm not sure there's really any reason to include view counts for one particular song he wrote and performed, and I suggest that the bit about "The Liar Tweets Tonight" just be removed. (Counterargument: "The Liar Tweets Tonight" is by a large margin his most popular work, at least as measured by YouTube views. Counter-counter-argument #1: so what? Counter-counter-argument #2: this just indicates that anti-Trump things were super-popular during Trump's presidency, and doesn't really tell us anything interesting about Zimmerman's work in particular. I'm more persuaded by the countercounterarguments than by the counterargument, and in fact I shall just remove the TLTW bit. If someone else feels strongly that it ought to be there, I don't feel strongly enough to get into an edit war about it :-).) Gareth McCaughan (talk) 21:48, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Circle bundle

message: Seems to me like we should move this page to principal circle bundle. Shouldn't circle bundle just refer to a fiber bundle where the fibers are circles (a special case of a sphere bundle). In that case, not every circle bundle is principal. For example the Klein bottle can be viewed as a (nontrivial) circle bundle over the circle but the structure group is only Z/2Z. -- Fropuff 03:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you know if each circle bundle is principal apart from that example? --kiddo 00:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Principal

message: This article is somewhat incorrect.  Circle bundles are not classified by the Euler class.  Circle bundles are classified by the homotopy-class of the map M \to BO_2.  Since there is the extension SO_2 \to O_2 \to \mathbb Z_2, if the composite M \to BO_2 \to B\mathbb Z_2 is null, *then* the map is classified by the associated map to BSO_2 = BU_1.  Basically the article skips the possibility that the fibers may not have a coherent orientation -- for example the unit tangent bundle of the projective plane is a circle bundle that the article ignores.

thread_title:  Error in classification 

message: It is stated that "the Aharonov–Bohm effect is not a quantum-mechanical effect (contrary to popular belief), as no quantization is involved or required in the construction of the fiber bundles or connections." It is my understanding that wave-particle duality (i.e. that the electron is described by a wave-function, and can exhibit wave-interference) is inherent in the analysis of this effect, wave-particle duality being quintessentially quantum. If there really is a way to show how the AB effect is purely classical, it would benefit this article greatly to make references to the appropriate literature.

Talk:Hawk and dove (game theory)

message: Some time ago the article Hawk-Dove game was merged and re-directed into Chicken (game) following the logic that since they were fundamentally the same game, that one article would cover the topic better.  Hawk-Dove game is now redirected to Hawk and dove (game theory), which is a really non-standard name for the Hawk-Dove game.  I suggest merging Hawk and dove (game theory) incorporating any material unique to that article not already covered by the relevant section in Chicken (game) into that article.

Talk:Johnny Quick (Johnny Chambers)

message: I find the Publication History for this character to be sketchy and does not answer questions I came looking for, here are some suggestions for further content
what writers and artists worked on the Johnny Quick stories during his initial run? this information could be found (and cited) in the Grand Comics Database. Some good artists worked on this and should be given credit, for example Mort Meskin
I see in the side panel it was Mort Weisenger who came up with the idea, but this key fact should also be added to, and expanded, in the publication history section. why did Weisenger come up with such a character when DC already had The Flash? this bit would require research and citations, maybe check backissues of the  Alter Ego fanzine which covers Golden Age minutiae. I do know a couple issues later More Fun also added Aquaman and Green Arrow, also both derivative characters, so some decision had been made at an editorial level to quickly change the content of More Fun.
one thing that could be added is that Johnny Quick actually outlasted the other Golden Age characters, specifically the Flash, because like Green Arrow and Aquaman his series was a backup in Adventure Comics and not cancelled til the pagecount was reduced and something had to go. Last appearance Dec 1954, meaning he almost survived to the time of The Flash's revival two years later (whereas the Golden Age Flash was last seen in All Star 57, 1951). The publication dates are factual and could easily be cited from the GCD or Mike's Newsstand
another, subjective aspect: the Johnny Quick stories are considered to have better art, and make more creative use of the superspeed concept, than did Golden Age Flash stories. Such a claim obviously needs a citation, and I believe it was DC's book The Greatest Golden Age Stories Ever Told where I first saw this argued in one of the essays. The argument may have been made, and published, elsewhere.  J Edward Malone (talk) 13:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

message: The biography section is rather incomplete, and doesn't take Robotman up to his current incarnation. Most of the detail is on the Doom Patrol article as a whole, true, but the majority of the details for Cliff could do with filling in. It's mostly everything after (and possibly including) this section.

IchiGhost (talk) 19:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Skyman 

message: I think there needs to be a Publication History type section before the Fictional Character Biography. As it is, the article is intermingling the original stories of RobotMan published in actual 1940s comic books with retcons introduced mostly by Roy Thomas in the 1980s. 
I suggest we want to specify the original Golden Age comics were Star Spangled Comics #7 though Star Spangled Comics #82 (April 1942-July 1948) then Detective Comics #138 though Detective Comics #202 (August 1948-December 1953). I think the first paragraph is mostly covering events from those actual comics. Decades later he is reintroduced in All-Star Squadron #1 (September 1981) which is retroactive adventures of 1940s characters. All the content in the article about Dr MidNite, StarMan, and the All-Star Squadron must be retcons from the 1980s series.

message: Fiberglass-based asphalt shingles! This is exactly what I was looking for! A word for what I want to get, when I can afford it.
Plus, that's a super picture of the largest wood-shingled home in Europe!!!
However, ideally the article would have a link to a definition, for the word, "composite", especially since all the other words around it have link definitions.
But maybe the word, "composite", is no longer in very much usage, replaced by more specific terms such as "fiberglass-based asphalt".
If so, maybe we should say that.

thread_title:  Fiberglass-based asphalt shingles 

message: The English 'shingle' and German 'Schindel' are probably from the same source, ultimately Greek 'schidax', the Proto-Indo-European (known to the modest Germans as Indo-Germanic) root meaning 'to cut'. There is no question of corruption (Pamour (talk) 07:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  corruption 

message: If most of the English Speaking world doesn't define all slates and tiles as "shingles", only the US, as the article itself states, is this really the right way to express the word, or should the article be adjusted?  I'm not arguing; I don't know anything about what words other countries use, I'm just going by what the article itself says. Certainly as a British person I can assure you nobody uses the word shingle for anything but wooden shingles over here (which we hardly ever use)- slates are "slates" and tiles are "tiles" and "shingles" are seen as an old US fire-hazard! ;)

message: I think this article is a bit confusing at the moment.

thread_title: Topological manifold?

message: Either the notation in section 2 is very misleading, or many of the statements are completely wrong.  A Hermitian n-by-n matrix h can indeed be decomposed into two parts 
 h=a+ib where a=(h+\bar h)/2  is a real,  symetric  n-by-n matrix and b=(h-\bar h)/2i  is a real skew-symmetric  n-by-n matrix.  The article imples that the metric g is to be identified with a, and 
\omega with  b.  It then states that one can be obtained from the other by means of the complex structure J. This cannot be true. Hermiticity  requires no relation between   a and b.  
What is actually true is that there is a Riemann metric g on the underlying 2n-dimensional real smooth manifold, where  
:
g=\left(\begin{matrix} a & b \\-b & a\end{matrix}\right)
is a real symmetric  2n-by-2n matrix, while 
:
\omega =\left(\begin{matrix} b & -a \\a & b\end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix} 0 & -I_n \\I_n & 0\end{matrix}\right) \left(\begin{matrix} a & b \\-b & a \end{matrix}\right)=\left(\begin{matrix} a & b \\-b & a\end{matrix}\right)\left(\begin{matrix} 0 & -I_n \\I_n & 0\end{matrix}\right)
is a skew-symmetric 2n-by-2n matrix.   Here
:
J=\left(\begin{matrix} 0 & -I_n \\I_n & 0\end{matrix}\right)
is the 2n-by-2n matrix representing the complex structure in the underlying real vector space. J  commutes with g because it is simply multiplication by \sqrt{-1} in the original complex basis. Mike Stone (talk) 19:01, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

movie presentation, it is not true that this is what the movie is
about. 
  Black Moon, each Character, Animal, Vegitation, and Thing is a
Symbol and Image representing FRANCE.  The Sister is the Classic
Spirit, goddess, of FRANCE (sustenance).  The Brother is the
Republic of FRANCE, who maintains a dying garden (economics) and
kills The Eagle (EMPIRE).  The Sister and Brother have Naked
Children (the Poor of FRANCE) and they fight each other over The
Eagle.  The Sister nurses and Old Woman (Old France).  But, "by
accident", a Young Girl arrives (New Spirit; New France), who will
nurse the Old Woman, turning her into a Child, and eventually
replacing her entirely.  The Pigs are Collaborators; The Rats are
Profiteers; The Sheep are Followers; The Turkeys are the Silly; the
Flowers are the Opposition; The Unicorn is Idealogy, which the New
Girl shall nurse. Then, this movie is about pseudo-civil-war between the Old, or
Classic, type of Nation being replaced by a New type, which was not
planned by the Top Down Power, but which happen "by accident" and
leads to a Fertile Garden.
  Yet, Black Moon ends by asking the question:  Will the New Girl
(Modern FRANCE) turn into the Old Woman (Empire FRANCE)?
  This is a Totally UnderRated Movie, because even the French and
Intellectuals could not figure out what it was about!
