replies: text: Battle of Brices Cross Roads →  – This page was moved from Brice's to Brices after a requested move discussion initiated by me in which there were no other participants. At the time I believed the name of the battle and the preserved battlefield should be the same and defer to the National Park Service. However, I now see that the Park Service is simply following the designation of Congress (without the apostrophe) and most scholarly sources use the apostrophe . This is analogous to the case of Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge and Moores Creek National Battlefield. I think moving back to the form with the apostrophe is pretty clearly appropriate, but given the previous uncertainty about the name I am erring on the side of an RM discussion.

Talk:Schtonk!

message: "Subtitled Der Film zum Buch vom Führer ("The film about the Führer's book"), "
I think there is a problem with the english translation of the film title. The german version is intentionally gramatically bad german, but the english translation is in standard english, thereby not representing it accuratly. More literally it could be: "The film to/about the book from/of/about the leader" 
195.93.66.10 09:56, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The real pun is the term "Buch vom Führer", which can be translated to "Book from (better: written by) the Führer or "Book about the Führer". Actually everybody thought the fake diaries to be covered with the first meaning and it later turned out to be the second. BTW, Millard73 is right, the term "Buch zum Film" is very colloquial in german and "Film zum Buch" parodizes that term.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.22.184.237 (talk) 01:05, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Zero (complex analysis)

message: What is said about entire functions isn't right; no zeroes is equivalent to having a well-defined logarithm without branch points, but any function exp(f(z)) with f entire will do.
This article should surely mention the contour integral way to count zeroes (integrate the logarithmic derivative); Rouché's theorem; and perhaps the construction of functions with given zeroes (infinite products, Blaschke products).

thread_title: Suggestion

message: I think it would be helpful, to -at least- add the notion of "root" instead of "zero". 
The "zero" of a function should simply be its value. 
In other articles in wikipedia, the value of x, where a function f(x) of x has its value f(x)=0, is called a "root" of the function.
It would be helpful, to -at least- introduce the crossreference (term "root") here.

thread_title:  naming convention 

message: I added "in one variable" to the sentence "An important property of the set of zeros of a holomorphic function (that is not identically zero) is that the zeros are isolated" because, for example, the two-variable holomorphic function
:f(x,y)=xy-1 
is zero in the circle a^2 + b^2 = 1, where x=a+ib and y=a-ib. —GraemeMcRaetalk 16:00, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification: Isolated zeros only if single variable 

message: The "Properties" section of the article as of now states "An important property [...] is that the zeros are isolated" without providing any justifications. No matter how trivial, wouldn't it be fair to include a proof of this statement?
(Sketch of a proof: non isolated zeroes => exists sequence of zeroes with adherent point => exists converging subsequence => recursively all nth derivatives of f are null at point of convergence of the subsequence => f = sum nth derivative / n! etc. = 0 on the connected domain containing the point of convergence on which f is holomorphic i.e. coincides with its series)

Talk:Battle of Point Pleasant

message: Forgive me for my ignorance, but how can this possibly be claimed as the first battle of the Revolution? The battle was fought between American Indians and Virginia militia, and later on, a joint militia-British Regular task force. I really don't think that the claim can be justified by any standards. --Grahamdubya (talk) 04:07, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The sentence you removed about this being the first battle of the Revolution was added recently by a vandal. The claim dates from a strange, old conspiracy theory that Dunmore was actually working in collusion with the Indians against the Virginians, which seemed plausible to contemporary Virginians because Dunmore became public enemy #1 very soon after this battle. —Kevin Myers 04:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Gotcha. I found something alluding to this in a footnote on the Battles of Lexington and Concord article, but it basically says the same thing (i.e., that it's a myth), though it does say that the 1908 Senate Resolution declared it the first battle. Curious. --Grahamdubya (talk) 04:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed with Grahamdubya. This battle cannot possibly be declared the first of the American Revolution. It was one of many brushfires between colonists in America and the Natives. By that reasoning, we could say any previous encounter between colonists and Indians was the first of the Revolution. The colonies were fighting for the crown in this engagement by protecting the land against the Natives. How can it be the first battle against British forces (thus the first of the Revolution), if it was fought for the Crown? (82.28.237.200 (talk) 15:06, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:William Manchester

message: The entry states this: "Manchester uses some personal anecdotes from his service on Okinawa in his descriptions of battles on Guadalcanal and Saipan...However, without this additional reading at the end of his memoir, to honor those he loved, many would mistakenly believe that Manchester served in three different campaigns."
While I don't have a copy of Goodbye Darkness in front of me, I'm fairly certain that Manchester did serve on Guadalcanal. He states this explicitly in the book, I believe, saying that he served toward the tail end of the campaign.

thread_title:  Pronunciation? 

message: I have removed from the lede the claim that thiomersal is/was used in hearing-aid batteries, as it unsupported by the reference that followed it. I have been unable to find any reliable sources that would substantiate the claim.
Mercury and mercury-containing compounds have definitely found uses in a number of battery technologies over the years. Up until thirty years ago, mercury battery button cells (using mercuric oxide cathodes) were common in hearing aids and a number of other applications.  More recently, it was common for a small amount of mercury (as the pure metal) to be alloyed with the zinc in zinc-air button cells to improve their performance. But while those batteries did contain mercury, none of them contained mercury in the form of thiomersal, the compound discussed in this article. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:34, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
