Talk:Philosophy of probability

message: After the afd was prematurely closed, I replaced the original research with the temp article that was waiting. 2005 09:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sole intent, here, is to preserve the original edit log for this page (/temp's History). jmswtlk 14:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Your comment may be true, in a sense; that the page is here at all is the result of the edits/efforts that culminated in the current page which was acceptable sufficient to overcome a 'delete' motion and which was never seen as complete. So, how do we change the page to both improve it and, at the same time, keep it within the scope/limits of the wiki? jmswtlk 15:30, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I will make this page into a redirect to Probability interpretations a week from now if no one strongly objects. Wikipedia should only have one article covering this topic. I will rescue the references here not found in the other article before I do the redirect. iNic 20:04, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Replacing article

message: I still can't see the reason for having two articles covering the same subject. The philosophy of probability is exactly the same as the study of probability interpretations. What we call the merged article doesn't really matter. We can vote on that. Anyone against a merge? iNic (talk) 23:23, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they should be merged. The "Philosophy of probability" title would probably be favored by philosophers though. Tijfo098 (talk) 12:03, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

The biggest thing needed now is a Facilities section, if it were earlier in the night I'd add one but it should contain education (including my alma mater - heh), shopping, health and elderly services, something about events at McCallum Park, etc, anything else that counts as a facility. I'd be happy to do it on Saturday but if anyone wants a shot, go for your life. Same goes for the history section, I literally did a run and dump off DLI. Orderinchaos78  15:51, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Constitution of Hesse

message: Found that having alternating German and English paragraphs (German in light-colored text, English in regular black) makes it easier to see what's going on, also, those who come later won't have to go bouncing around all over the place.  When the consensus is that it's done, it'll be a simple matter to delete all the German.
The first paragraph had already been translated when I got here, so I pulled it out of the history for the gray version.  But the text looks kind of weird, like a section of one sentence got jammed into another--not sure what to make of it.  Is this the real original of this? Mathglot 07:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Origins

message: In the first paragraph, Beratenden Landesausschuss has been translated as advisory national committee but this doesn't seem right to me. This is Land as in Länder, after all, we're talking about Hesse state, not the country, so shouldn't this be advisory state committee (assuming we want to take it fairly literally)?  
Now, for verfassungsberatenden Landesversammlung in the next paragraph, though this may translate literally as something like advisory constitutional state committee, we have a well-defined phrase for that (in AE at least), and if we forget the 'Land' part of it for the moment, the phrase is Constitutional Convention which is nothing other than a constitutional advisory committee.  Since this is a Land one, I make that a state constitutional convention. 
If one accepts that as accurate, then applying that lesson to Beratenden Landesausschuss (currently advisory national committee) we ought to make this state convention by parallelism, unless an established term in English already exists for this Hesse committee.

thread_title: ''Beratenden Landesausschuss'' and ''verfassungsberatenden Landesversammlung''

message: Is the old term Hessian still correct as an adjective?  I used 'Hesse' as the adj. form because Hessian sounds antiquated to me.  Leo gives Hessian, but they're bi-directional so can't tell "which way" they mean that. Mathglot 07:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Is the information correct?
I looked this bill up in an American history book (The American Pagent) and found this description;

----
Under the list of people who voted against the bill, it lists "Davis (UU)" If this is in fact Henry Winter Davis it makes no sense and should be mentioned, but most likely, if it is in fact "Garret Davis," Senator from Kentucky (which would make more sense as Henry Winter Davis was only a Representative) then he should be listed as a Unionist (U) according to the page on the 38th United States Congress.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by We4get1918 (talk • contribs) 03:08, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Geography of New Brunswick

message: I've started a tables section for the provincial parks in NB. I've listed 4 of the 11 parks. I'll probably need some help.
::I see that someone else has helped out here. Good stuff. I've added a number of other tables. I've changed the colour-scheme, gold background, brown lettering for 3 of the tables (what exactly are NB's colours?). The national heritage sites, I made red with white. Maybe it looks lame. Need other opinions. After about finishing all of them, I wondered if I should have added a contact email address column. Maybe it should be done.
Also, the template:newbrunswick, I've added that hide function. Wondering if we should change the colour to match the tables on the page. Again, what are NB colours?
Also, as you can see, there's much to do. Lot's of local stuff: communities, parks, hsitorical sites, etc. I didn't bother linking the historic sites, I figure that would be just too many dead read links on the page.
One more thing, maybe it's time a portal NB or working group NB was formed to prioritise things to do. (Obviously, much on the French wiki needs to be done, for example.)

message: In an effort to remove reduntant/duplicate information, I suggest we merge the articles containing Parks to list of protected areas in New Brunswick and the others mentioned on the page.  Most of these lists can be found in the corresponding sections.

I am going to begin removing data and linking and merging lists to other pages.  Hogie75 14:40, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:List of Java virtual machines

message: Although the Microsoft JVM is discontinued, only supported 1.1, and had proprietary extensions, it was still notable because it was for many PC users the only VM present on their computer (although Dell and HP started shipping VMs around 2003 with their computers.)

thread_title:  Missing VMs? 

message: Dalvik isn't a JVM, and is certainly not licensed. Dalvik uses its own byte code that is incompatible with Java byte code. Cross-compilation support shouldn't be enough to make a virtual machine pass as a JVM. No one would argue that V8 is a JVM just because we can use GWT to get Java->Javascript. Please remove it from the list (although it is a technical achievement on its own, it's simply not a JVM).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.113.183.85 (talk) 20:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Benewah Milk Bottle

message: I grew up in Spokane, and I saw more than two of these bottles. Contrary to the main article, what I saw had cream-colored paint near the top. Remember these were the days of non-homogenized milk, delivered to your door in bottles (although I never saw Benewah deliver on a route). All milk had cream on the top. Yum!
I saw the one near the freeway west of downtown in the summer of 2010, and it was indeed white all the way up, but I doubt it was always this way. There was another one on Northwest Boulevard, and I believe made a purchase there in about 1960.

message: Second most photographed statue in the US after Mount Rushmore....
I'm only a humble Australian, but surely the Satue of Liberty would rate in the top two most photographed statues in the United States. 
This claim seems a little flimsy to me, i would like to see some further evidence to support this.
I have to agree.  I checked out the link and found it to be an internet news site that just referred to Kodak.  So I did a quick google search and found many sites making similar claims, but none with any real reference.  Then I searched Kodak's website, and they don't have anything devoted to ranking "most-photographed" nor a single page that contains the name of the town.  I think this may be an urban legend.--Scottieb 14:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have just recieved this message from Microsoft and it has been confirmed by AOL and Verizon, it is the most ... oh wait a minute. I do not think it is a well sourced information.

While mainly pictured on Bemidji's welcome sign throughout the season, the statues make their physical debut in the episode "A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage". In the episode, the statues, while accurate in design, are depicted as smaller, life-size statues standing upon tall pedestals and located next to some railroad tracks instead of on the lake shore."
Last item "Stylized smaller replicas are frequently seen in the TV series FARGO (Season 1), which was shot in Canada"

Was it 24 March 1924 or a few days earlier?  Also, on what grounds can somebody conclude that this was the "most radical document"?

Talk:Boeing Pelican

message: It's been a bit over a decade since Boeing released details of the Pelican ULTRA. It's not a surprise to ponder the possibility that the Pelican has gone the way of other giant ekranoplan projects in being rejected for full-scale development because the cost of one company (or even two or more companies) building a prototype ekranoplan on the scale of the Pelican is generally considered staggering (in other words, it's the equivalent of the cost of hauling the hulk of a rusting shipwreck and selling it to a scrap dealer). If the US Army decides against commissioning full-scale development of the Pelican, it may be intuitive to offer the Pelican to freight companies o that they can find a low-cost means of hauling huge loads of freight over sea. Boeing may also consider developing a passenger variant of the Pelican that could carry 5,000-6,000 passengers and 564 crewmembers and accomodate a ballroom, sleeping berths, 56 lavatories, a parlor, and a galley.68.4.28.33 (talk) 19:38, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
