Talk:Viking Quest

message: When will Viking Quest be released on DVD???

thread_title:  DVD 

message: A question about this page, since it's not clear what "fictional" means in context.
Was this show ever produced?  Or was this show an example a "show within a show" - a show that never existed, except within another story's continuity?
( Standard rant about the abuse of the adjective 'fictional' on Wikipedia leading to confusing pages like this one... )

Talk:Ānanda

message: This article quotes MN 90 without identifying the source. What is MN? Does it stand for Majjhima Nikaya? If so, it should be linked there. I'd do it myself, but I'll leave it for someone actually familiar with the subject, so as to avoid making a false assumption, a mistake. Thanks. LordAmeth (talk) 16:28, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is the Majjhima Nikaya.  I've changed how the sutta is referenced, and linked the others mentioned in the article.  It's a fairly common reference format in books about Buddhism- DN for Digha Nikaya, MN, AN for the Anguttara, SN for the Samyutta.  There are also abbreviations for the books of the Khuddaka Nikaya- Snp for Sutta Nipata, Thag for Theragatha, Thig for Therigatha, etc.  Not sure if all of them are collected anywhere; I think it's a Pali Text Society convention.  --Clay Collier (talk) 23:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for taking the time to fix this. I know every discipline has its standard abbreviations... but they're just not known or easily understandable to those outside the loop, so a link at the very least is a wonderful thing. Thanks again. LordAmeth (talk) 11:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

message: regarding this revert, the article does not mention that Ānanda is specifically a patriarch of Zen Buddhism so the article does not belong in :Category:Zen patriarchs.

Talk:Tunney's Pasture

message: Overall, this article has a lot of excellent information.  I have made a few enhancements to improve the quality:
:*added new photos of various buildings around Tunney's Pasture
:*moved the photos to a gallery at the bottom of the page
:*added headings with links to the government departments
In the future, I plan to edit the addresses of each building.  About two years ago, the civic addresses were changed to facilitate contacting 911 emergency services and directing them to the appropriate location.  So, instead of "Building 1", Holland Avenue, the address of the RH Coats is 100 Tunney's Pasture Driveway.Demetri1968 (talk) 04:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Diogenes of Babylon

message: Diogenes is famous for having walked the streets of Athens in broad daylight carrying a lighted lantern while claiming "I am looking for a man".
The same is said about Diogenes of Sinope. Quote:
He used to stroll through the Agora at full daylight with a torch (or, as legend sometimes has it, a lantern). When asked about it, he would answer, "I am just looking for an honest man".  This is referenced in the play Cyrano de Bergerac, but here Diogenes asks the question, "Art thou an honest man?"

Talk:Romain Gary

message: He was born in a place that was still using the Julian calendar. Is 8 May from that calendar (which equates to 21 May 1914 in the Gregorian), or has it been already adjusted from 25 April 1914?  --  Jack of Oz  ... speak! ...  04:25, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately as everyone seems to quote May 8, 1914 I can only guess that it has already been corrected. But as many sources quote other sources (often without referencing them) it is very difficult to say what is really true. You raise a valid point. I will refer this question to David Bellos. --JHvW (talk) 00:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The link for the character Artemis Entreri gets redirected to Forgotten Realms, but that page doesn't mention the character. Furthermore _that_ page has a link to Forgotten Realms characters, but _that's_ redirected too. So the information seems to not be on this wiki and the links are somewhat misleading.

Talk:Charles Macklin

message: The article, before its redactive edit, contained quotations and abounded in factual information.  Despite material having been taken direct from sources, there was not a single in-line citation in the article.  It is therefore a complete and clear PLAGIARISM, by any standard. Such an egregious misuse of privileged material cannot remain as a wikipedia article. 
This matter was attended to cursory fashion in July 2012, and so it is clear that the elements of the problem have been known for some time. However, the peppering of the article with flags that citations are needed, while nobel for its effort in this case, is an example of placing plasters on a gaping tumorous growth, and is insufficient.  
Please do not reverse this redaction, without discussion at high level. It is a continuing embarrassment to wikipedia (and detrimental to its impact) that such practices are not dealt with firmly and consistently.

Talk:Lallemant

message: * The way in which someone spells their own name is never a misspelling. It's a variation. Prior to a century and a half ago, the idea of standardized spelling barely existed in regards to common nouns, verbs, etc. -- and it applied even less so to the rendering of proper nouns as written words.  Would you really tell somebody "you and your parents don't spell your name correctly?
* It's not relevant to describe this as an "old name." How many "new names" are there? How long must a name be used before it becomes "old?" 
*All surnames are occasionally hyphenated (at least in French, German, English, Spanish and other European languages with which I am familiar) so it makes no sense to mention it without giving examples.

message: Well I have more free time for at least the next month so I can figure this out. I will be taking another crack at the photo montage. I will use images taken from wikipedia articles that are either public domain or "fair use". I figure it is fair use to use a picture here under the fair use rule because I looked up the issue on the website of the US copyright office. US copy right office:Fair use. The first use it describes as fair use is "the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes," This sounds to me like it is taylor made for a situation like this. I will use images from many of the same wikipedia articles I got pictures from before except ones that have been explicitly objected to already. Since these pictures have been found to be of the community standard of wikipedia I really can see no valid reason to object to them now.--Hfarmer 18:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Composition operator

message: I'm not sure if it is justified to call "composition operator" the operator C_g rather than the operator "o" itself. To be not too invasive, I just added a kind of "otheruse" preamble, but maybe one should go a bit further (I think more people would think of "o" rather than of Cg when they hear "composition operator" in a general context.) — MFH:Talk 18:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, this confused me.  If I have a function g o f then I guess g and f are operands of the operator "o".  I guess just f is an operand of the operation C_g(f)?  If so (and this is what I really want to know) what do we call g?  Perhaps a parameterized operand of the operator C?220.253.85.77 03:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, no. C_g is a linear operator, it is the thing that is studied. The fact that is linear is what allows it to be studied as such, in operator theory. By contrast, composition 'o' is not linear, and is thus strictly speaking not an "operator", at least, not the kind studied in operator theory. Err. well, I guess you could call 'o' 'nonlinear' or something like that, but that misses the point. linas (talk) 04:22, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
