More Dartmouth College insignificance. Dunc_Harris|☺ 19:04, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment Guess what? We don't seem to have any article about ski patrols. Unless that's the same thing as Mountain rescue??? Take a look at Skiing and its subtopics. If the developers of this article would like to help Wikipedia, in my opinion the best thing they could do would be to draw on whatever knowledge they have of ski patrolling, and/or the knowledge of any people they may know in the Dartmouth Ski Patrol, and quickly rework this article into a an article about Ski patrols. A decent paragraph stub would do. Hey, there's The Professional Ski Patrol association, the National Ski Patrol, whatever. Hey, there's even a 1990 movie entitled Ski Patrol. And... there's a 1940 movie entitled Ski Patrol. So... ski patrols must have at least a half century of history, lore, legend, craft, cruft, etc. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:17, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Talk:John Ondrasik

message: Should John Ondrasik and Five for Fighting be merged? Currently Five For Fighting (capital "F" on "For") redirects to John Ondrasik which is a separate article from Five for Fighting (small "f" on "for"). The Five for Fighting article says that is a "screen name" of Ondrasik, while the John Ondrasik article says he is the "chief member" of the band. We probably need to get our stories straight.

Talk:Dartmouth Beer Pong

message: From VfD:
No, this type of beer pong really is specific to Dartmouth.  They have an entire drinking subculture there that surrounds the game.  Maybe they're not the only place that uses paddles, but they are the only place where /this specific game/ is the emphasis, with very specific and school-wide rules.  I would link you to a Wikipedia article on Paddle Tennis, but apparently it wasn't covered properly so I've inserted some temporary BS.  Paddle tennis is a game similar to tennis that only really exists in parts of Hawaii and California (and cruise ships).  It's not surprising that Wikipedia doesn't cover it.  My point is that "Dartmouth Beer Pong" is a pop culture term worth covering; just because you weren't previously aware of its existence doesnt mean that it's any less important to its participants.  Anyone who is familiar with the actual sport would consider the article informative and belonging in the Wikipedia.
I'm a student at Rice University, Texas, and the information contained in the previous article matches exactly with the environment when I visited.  It was very informative to learn of the specific rules (presumably written by someone more familiar with Dartmouth life than I).  No one is going to be searching for this?  I was very happy to find out that the Wikipedia covered it, and immediately sent the link to friends at Dartmouth who were amused as well.  The original article should stay.  Contact someone at Dartmouth if you think it doesn't belong or is inaccurate.  Nowhere else in the country will you find an entire culture based around this specific game.  
As a person familiar with this actual game and the culture involved, I determine that it should stay.  Unless you have specific experience relating to Dartmouth Beer Pong and its manifestation in the drinking culture there, you have no business editing this article!  This is no less important than the particular rituals of a Native American tribe, and I'm sure you and historians would be happy covering that.  This article is important not only for covering the specifics of the game, but should be expanded upon to include wider aspects of influence on college life.
I reverted the article to a non-redirect.  Anonymous Coward, 2004-09-06 02:52 (GMT-8)

Comment
The 'diamond' aspects of this page should be merged with the diamond cut article, but the wider techniques of facet cutting are applicable to most transparent lapidary materials and need to have a separate article (which I am working on now.)
Clive Washington
As per Clive - this article can and should stand on its own.  I've removed the merge tag and added a link across to diamon cut.  Hopefully someone will add good information to this article to complement the others in the series. Kcordina  Talk  14:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

message: It would be nice to have more information comparing previous techniques with modern ones. There's an existing sentence
:"Even with modern techniques, the cutting and polishing of a diamond crystal always results in a dramatic loss of weight; rarely is it less than 50%." 
which is tagged for a citation. The citation would be useful, but even more useful would be a description of how older techniques differed. What the weight loss was. Maybe even...what if scenarios.

message: It seems to me that the term "cutting" when applied to diamonds is not the same as its use in everyday language.  I may cut a loaf of bread and this is very different to cutting a diamond.

It would be helpful if you could point out some sources for your entry. Online sources are good, but a book or magazine would also work. 
Thanks again, and welcome to Wikipedia.

replies: text: Yes, Amiga memory was split into Chip RAM (accessible by the custom chips) and Fast RAM (faster, but only accessible by the processor).

Talk:Trigonometric polynomial

message: It seems to me there's something wrong with this line for the real trig polynomial:
:T_N(x) = \sum_{n=0}^N a_n \cos (nx) + \sum_{n=0}^N a_n \sin(nx) \qquad (x \in \mathbf{R})
Shouldn't the coefficients for cos and sin be different, like a_n \cos (nx) and b_n \sin (nx)?  Because, otherwise wouldn't this just be  a single sum like this:
:T_N(x) = \sum_{n=0}^N {a_n (\cos (nx) + \sin(nx))}
Something is definitely wrong here...

thread_title:  Notational inconsistency 

message: I am confused what the following two lines are trying to say:
Using the relation 
:T(x) = \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}Nx} t(x) \,\!
we can construct a bijective mapping between the complex trigonometric polynomials and the real trigonometric polynomials. Thus a trigonometric polynomial can be considered a periodic function on the real line, with period some multiple of 2π, or as a function on the unit circle.
First the relation above, while certainly bijective, does not directly give a bijection between real and complex trigonometric polynomails.  Also, the second sentence doesn't need the first, so it shouldn't start with "Thus".
