Before intervention, the system of specialized resources in which larger duikers exploit a particular type of food and smaller duikers on another, is functional as modeled in the diurnal and nocturnal nature of the duikers;

Talk:Erie Water Works

message: There are many details on EWW's current water supply in the first paragraph of the Water Quality Report for 2006. This report confirms that the water for Sommerheim Reservoir indeed comes from Lake Erie. But I'm wondering if it is the older sources cited in the article that say Presque Isle Bay and a spring are the sources of water for Sommerheim Reservoir? (The notations aren't clear) The older sources might have been correct in their day and we simply have to sort out historic infrastructure from current infrastructure in the article. I suspect a careful editing of this article might be required to preserve that history and avoid losing some of the info as the article is fixed to properly reflect the EWW's current infrastructure. --Pat (talk) 02:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I have always seen it written this way.  I'm not sure where the half matrices come in since we need symmetry for that anyway (this article is really showing a block Cholesky factorization, it never has a general LU decomposition).  Also decomposing as a sum doesn't help if we are interested in the inverse.  I think this LDU form is the most useful, both for analysis and numerically.
JedKBrown (talk) 13:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  LDU decomposition clearer? 

message: I second what JedKBrown says, the article isn't correct, it only works for positive matrices where it amounts to a block Cholesky. The general case is indeed very similar, just replace cholesky by LU... still that needs to be mentioned.

I have tried to add a (non-Cholesky) LU decomposition to the page. Alas my edit was reverted. I don't know why. I also added sample code for how to make use of this. Maybe the bot did not like my code? Thethirdrock (talk) 05:49, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

message: The text wrongly states that horseshoe bats are the "natural zoonotic reservoir" for SARS. While horseshoe bats are one of two bat groups in which asymptomatic infection with SARS-like coronavirus has been shown, they may not be the primary reservoir, and as yet (November 2009) transmission of SARS from bats to humans (i.e. zoonotic transmission) has not been proven. This statement should be corrected.

Among many other questionable practices. Many of the files concerning his activities are still sealed as a "security risk" (or perhaps an embarrassment) to Britain.

I don't recall it ever being described as a plantation! And if you were to ask me about the Arawa plantation I wouldn't know what you were talking about. Yes, there were plantations on Bougainville, but the Arawa expatriate plantation sounds a bit odd (speaking as someone who lived there).

message: Since the article already states the general groups case, I suggest content be reordered by covering the general case first (some details should be fleshed out here), then the case for Z and R (the proof for the real line in current version will be subsumed by the general discussion and can be removed), then the theorem in the context of stochastic processes with the Z case corresponding to discrete time and R case continuous time.

message: I think you did a great job providing content and information about Laudatio Turiae.  My biggest suggestion would be to tweak the style of the article, i.e. make it more "encyclopaedia sounding."  For the most part, the article does this, but there are some areas throughout that could be edited, such as the first part of the first sentence.  Also, providing a brief introduction at the beginning of the article will go a long way in achieving that certain style.  Once again, good job with the content. Cfrontz 19:05, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: discussion for Laudatio Turiae

message: Don’t forget to link key dates or people to other Wikipedia articles. Is there a reason it is in pieces all over Rome? Reconsider the punctuation before and after 180 lines. Perhaps parenthesis or hyphens would be more appropriate.  “The currently pieces” I think is just a typo.  Would “primary and first-hand” make more sense than “primary yet first-hand”? You might be able to clarify the sentence about what the wife does for her husband by changing “it ranged” to “ranging”. Semicolons introduce a list as you correctly identify, but they usually don’t have a verb, rather just the list, following them.  Maybe elaborate saying that the marriage is unusual because the men usually die first because they died in war. Should there be a period at the end of the third reference? I think it’s Wikistyle to include ISBN numbers with books.
Restated: Another example as has been mentioned about the style might be that as this is an encyclopedia, stay objective.  You may want to think about changing “lovely yet heart-pounding” to something like affectionate.
Food for thought: Is towards really a word???????
