Talk:Hyacinth (mythology)

message: Pederasty in ancient Greece a much more associated article than general History of homosexuality, so much so that I added it to see also as I didn't realize the nature of the love until I looked at the article's history. It'd be better defined as prose, but I can't think of how to forumlate it. I also think the two Homosexuality in Greek Myth books are modern sources worthy of inclusion, and that the category Pederastic heroes and deities is a lot more relevant than Sexual orientation and history.

thread_title: Homosexuality/Pederasty in ancient Greek myth

message: I copied this from my talk page and thought it would be discussed more appropriately here:
== Hyacinth ==
Dear Cynwolfe,
I have noticed that you have previously undone some of my changes to the Hyacinth page. Since I'm a quite passionate Hyacinth scholar, I would like to engage you on this subject:
1) I suggest that my new introductory paragraph is more suitable (and catchy!) for Wikipedia's (non-academic) general audience and accurately addresses the crux of the Hyacinth myth: a) Who the mythological character was; and b) the myth's cultural relevance to society.  
2) The Bosio statue adds a new medium to the paintings; also, I suggest that more images (within reason) can only add value to the page.
I trust that you will consider the above in a positive light!

replies: text: According to this diff,, you deleted material that was sourced to Walter Burkert. You added this, which had no citation and which expresses a POV. I don't know any classical scholars who use the locution "man-boy love," not even those who have been accused (fairly or not) of using their scholarship to further a pederastic agenda. Articles should not have too many images in proportion to the text, and they need to follow standard layout guidelines, such as not sandwiching text between left-right images. I'll copy this exchange to the article's talk page, where others can participate. Cynwolfe (talk) 12:34, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: What I would say further is that yes, the myth of Hyacinth has been interpreted often in light of Pederasty in ancient Greece, both in antiquity and in the classical tradition. But high-quality scholarly sources are required for presenting such a difficult subject. Cynwolfe (talk) 12:41, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  Yes, sorry--I agree they should be merged, but that the title should be sympodial, sympodial growth, or sympodial branching. I don't have a strong preference, so just "sympodial" seems fine to me. See also monopodial. –Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 14:43, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Gonolobus cundurango

message: If this article is about Cundurango, a name for a certain kind of bark, rather than Gonolobus condurango, the plant from which it is derived, maybe it doesn't need a taxobox.  Or maybe the article should be changed to the species name, instead of the common title. Suggestions? Mmcknight4 18:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Mmcknight4 Serious nomenclatural problems here. I checked with standard on-line databases listing plant names (Tropicos, The Plant List, IPNI). No such thing as Gonolobus condurango. Name is Gonolobus cundurango, with a u, not an o. This is listed as an unresolved name, meaning that they are not quite sure what plant this refers to. Marsdenia cundurango is not the same thing. This as applied to the Cundurango plant is an illegitimate name anyway. This is Marsdenia cundurango G. Nicholson 1885, not Marsdenia cundurango Rchb. f. 1872. Using the same name to refer to two different plants is not cool.Joseph Laferriere (talk) 13:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Raymond, 1st Baron Raymond

message: I have not investigated what Lord Raymond may have said, but my impression is that is was not law French so much as Latin that disappeared from the courts in 1733.  As the law French article makes clear, French terms have remained part of the English legal vocabulary until quite recent times.  I think it may only be from 1995, that their use began to be seriously discouraged.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I found this reference: "...Lord Raymond, Chief Justice of England (d. 1733), who in the House of Lords forcefully opposed the plans of the House of Commons to replace Law French with the obligatory use of English in the practice of law and in the courts. In his eyes, the abandonment of the traditional language of the law opened the way to the most capricious innovations; this policy might even lead to the Welsh demanding the power to proceed in Welsh. In spite of his speech, a statute of 1731, which came into force on 25 March 1733, permitted the anglicization of justice".—R. C.

Talk:Weierstrass M-test

message: I'm reading Complex Analysis by Freitag and Busam, and their version of the Weiestrass M-test say that every normally convergent series converges absolutely and locally uniformly. Their definition of normal convergence also differs with the definition found on Wikipedia. They say that normal convergence of fn: D -> C means that for every a in D, there exists a neighborhood of a, U, such that there exists a sequence (of real numbers) Mn such that for every z in intersection(D, U), abs(fn(z)) < Mn and SUM(Mn) converges.
One thing I'm wondering is, what do they mean by "absolutely convergent". One clue is that they say a consequence of the Weiestrass M-test is that normally convergent series can be arbitrarily reordered without disturbing the limit of the series... Danielx 06:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Centralized discussion on proofs 

message: We need to prove the "obvious" result that if a sequence is "uniformly" Cauchy, then it uniformly converges.  It pointwise converges by completeness, and then uniformly converges as (approximately)
If \lim_n f_n(x) = f(x), then \lim_m | f_n(x) - f_m(x) | = |f_n(x) - f(x)|, so
if \forall \varepsilon > 0 \exist N \forall x \forall m,n > N | f_n(x) - f_m(x) | < \varepsilon, then, using the same N,  \forall \varepsilon > 0 \exist N \forall x \forall n > N | f_n(x) - f(x) | \leq \varepsilon.  But we must say that somewhere, for the proof to be complete.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 15:33, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
