message: There seem to be no references to this as a phrase, unless it was used ironically. Jenner apparently took infectious material from a cowpox lesion on a milkmaid's hand which implies they suffered from pockmarks.

thread_title: Please do not add it again

message: I have a serious problem with the fact that this article makes claims based on completely nonscientific schools of thought, such as holistic medicine and Tantra, and appears to have been written for the purposes of advertising a specific site. Although the link to this site has been removed, the fact remains that the article seems to take its information from advertisements, rather than from any sort of independent or even remotely scientific studies. I think a major rewrite might be in order. 
Edit: After rereading the criteria for speedy deletion, it seems pretty clear that this article is spam. I'm nominating this for speedy deletion. Ketsuekigata 15:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Facts please? 

message: My reason nominating this article for speedy deletion was not that it's unsourced, it's that it's spam. Although the link to minkglove.com, the commercial site that the article was originally written to advertise for, was removed, the fact remains that the article was written by a promoter for that site, is somewhat lacking in encyclopedic merit or notability, and exists solely to promote a service. The criteria for speedy deletion specifically list "pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group, service, or person and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic," and I think that pretty clearly applies to this article.

thread_title:  Defining Terms 

message: The article should note that winning scores attempt to document how close a winning team would have been to not winning had they: 
* in the case of the team batting last losing, scored x fewer runs
* in the case of the team batting last winning, had x more batsmen out and faced x more deliveries/balls, supposing they had not scored any runs off the final delivery they faced in the match. 
When a team completes a win by n innings and x runs, it's because they wouldn't have won had they completed n more innings and scored x fewer runs. GreekApple123 (talk) 06:12, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  C20 usage, 

message: The entire paragraph: 
 However, the derogatory abuse of the word does not negate its original meaning or spiritual implications. Linguistically, the word Abid (Abed) is from the Semitic languages. In Hebrew, the name Obed means "servant" or "worshiper," and the Arabic word abd, abid, or abīd (often written without a vowel in translation) means "slave" and has been applied to a Muslim as a "slave or worshiper of God (Allah)." The implication that a Muslim should strive to be a "completely devout servant of God" is based upon Quranic verses that state that Muhammad, even as God's messenger, was simply a Abid (i.e. a slave or servant) of God. This usage of the term was implied from Islam's inception in 600 AD and precedes the derogatory use of the term in the Sudanese conflict of the 20th century.
Is rather entertaining given the lack of any reference and the preceding text: 
 Meyer dismisses this as "efforts by propagandists [to] explain the term away [that are] at the least, disingenuous"

CHANGE-X
A centrally important aspect of Matityahu is that it is a Litvish community with one rabbi and one synagogue. It is required that every family accepts Rabbi Zev Leff's (the community rabbi) da'at torah and halakhic rulings for all matters that may impact on others and respect the "united community" aspect of life in the community. Therefore, all residents are expected to be religiously observant and strict religious standards are demanded including a ban on television and videos. All homes are required to follow the kashrut standards set by Leff and women must dress with complete adherence to the specific tzniut standards.

Talk:Pass the Pigs

message: The pigs in Pass the Pigs are asymmetric; consequently the probabilities of the six outcomes from a toss of a single pig cannot be derived from symmetry arguments as they could with normal dice. Consequently, the probabilities of the outcomes are estimated from experiment, and, importantly, depend on the conditions under which the experiment was carried out, such as the manner in which the pig(s) are thrown and the surface onto which they are thrown. The dependence on conditions of asymmetric dice is discussed, for example, in Ed Pegg Jr.'s article at MAA Online .
As can be seen from the bottom of the page, many such experimental estimates exist; more can be found via a suitable search engine.
If the Pass the Pigs entry is to present one such estimated distribution of probabilities, it should firstly note clearly that it is an estimate of the probabilities, not known fact; secondly it should identify the source of the estimate, as well as information about the experimental conditions and the sample size upon which the estimates are based; and thirdly it should make it clear that other experiments will produce different results. If possible, some estimate of the associated uncertainties in the probabilities (such as those derived from a Multinomial distribution model) would be a useful addition.
It seems as if the presented probabilities may have been derived from the ones presented at  but with the extraneous category discarded and all the rounding errors accumulated into the final (least frequent) category, which may be inadvisable. The sample size used in that experiment was relatively small compared to some of the experiments linked to at the bottom of the page. Further, the fact that one of the pigs used in the experiment is even able to generate a seventh outcome suggests that the results of that experiment should be viewed with caution; certainly the results of the extra category shouldn't be combined into the final (leaning jowler) category without comment, if that was in fact what happened.
