Talk:Celebrían

message: This might be a little bit of nit-picking, but two (that I've seen) of the articles have conflicting information as to Celebrian's birthplace and history. The biographical article says she was born in Ost-en-Hidl, the capital of Eregion and that she fled through the mines of Moria with her mother when Sauron invaded, but then in the article on Galadriel, it states that she was born in Lorien after Eregion fell. I know this is a silly thing to complain about, seeing as she's a relatively unimportant character, but you all strive for perfection here, so I thought I'd let you know.

message: I am not sure why certain names without articles are being treated differently to others. Is there a guideline I've missed? Just because there is no article for them, does that mean the names can't be used until articles are created? If so, fine. dougweller (talk) 10:18, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know if there's an actual guideline, but the convention for potentially long and/or incomplete lists is to only include its notable members (generally but not exclusively taken as those with wikipedia articles). This convention is to some extent supported by :Template:Cleanup-laundry which lists "not notable" as a reason for removing list items. There's little point in adding further names when the reader is unable to find out more information about them to provide those names with context. Doing so only clutters the article.

Talk:VIN etching

message: Removed the following from the article because of POV:
Vin Etching stickers get the vin on top of the glass and not into the glass as a regular engraving or etching machine would achieve.  These cheap stickers cannot be applied in the rain and are seen by professional car thieves as useless because the sticker and the vin can easily be removed by the use of a razor blade.  Remember, these Vin etching sticker machines only produce stickers that place the vin 'ON' the glass and not 'INTO' the glass like an engraver would engrave the back of a watch or a trophy nameplate.  Also, there is a Large Auto Dealer Group with over 50 dealers in the Greater Chicago area who pay pennies for these stickers yet they automatically add them to the totals column of each automobile contract at a cost to the customer of $229.00.  Making hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars for the Dealer Group yet not adding any level of security for the customer's $80,000 new or $25,000 pre-driven car.

Talk:Night of the Big Wind

message: Came here to read more because Wiki's mainpage On this day says the storm "swept across Ireland ... damaging or destroying more than 20% of the houses in Dublin", which is a HUGE toll. But then found an inconsistency here. The article's "Meteorological situation" section says similarly that "Between a fifth and a quarter of all houses in Dublin suffered damage ranging from broken windows to complete destruction", but the article Intro says something quite different - it says "20% to 25% of houses in north Dublin were damaged or destroyed". NORTH Dublin is (geographically) only one quarter of the city, so "20% damaged" in the north quarter equates to only "5% damaged" in terms of the whole city. I hate to sound picky, but either the Intro fact-description is incorrect, or else the Meteo-section (and Wiki's On-This-Day") fact-description is incorrect. I suspect it's the latter, with someone dropping the word "north" for greater space or greater effect, without realising the consequences. Hopefully someone with specific knowledge can clarify the area and/or degree of damage accordingly?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete Hobbs (talk • contribs) 06:57, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Deleted: 
* "According to Emilie Townes, womanist theology must also take seriously the intersection of class, as well as race and gender."
* "The goals of womanist theology include interrogating the social construction of black womanhood in relation to the black community and to assume a liberatory perspective so African American women can live emboldened lives within the African American community and within the larger society. Some of its tasks are excavating the life stories of poor women of African descent in the church and to understanding the "languages" of black women."
Added sentences with citation: 
*"Womanist theology" was first used in an article in 1987 by Dr. Delores Williams. 
*"Scholars who espouse womanist theology are not monolithic nor do they adopt each aspect of Walker's definition. Yet, these scholars often find kinship in their anti-sexist, antiracist and anti-classist commitments to feminist and liberation theologies."

Talk:30-day yield

message: Can anyone explain the financial sense behind the 30 day yield calculation.  Specifically, why the one part of the formula is raised to the 6th power and also why we are multiplying by 2 at the end.
:The formula is an estimate of an annual yield, based on the earnings of the last 30 day period.  The part of the formula in parentheses (the part that's raised to the 6th power) is the calculation of the 30 day earnings.  By raising the 30-day earnings to the 6th power the rate is compounded for 6 months.  This assumes that the investment will yield the same earnings each of the next 6 months as it did in the base period.  Multiplying the result by 2 at the end provides an annual (12 month) estimate of the earnings.  Since the rate is not compounded for 12 months, the estimate is conservative and assumes that the investment will not continue to earn at the same rate for the entire year.  For example, an investment that earned 1% in the 30 day base period, using the formula, would have a 30-day yield of 2*[(1.01^6)-1] or 12.304%.  On the other hand, if the same investment earned the same rate every month for a year the annual earnings would be (1.01^12)-1 or 12.682%.
