Talk:4294967297 (number)

message: 4294967296 and 4294967297 are deemed important enough to merit their own articles. If anyone wants to create an article on 4294967295 or 4294967298 they should discuss it with the members of WikiProject Numbers. PrimeFan 21:14, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Any way to remove the ambiguous "billion" from the number name. Because this number is not a round number, I suggest the best way to read this number in practice to avoid ambiguity is simply to read the digits: "four two nine four nine six seven two nine seven". Any comments?? 66.245.118.214 22:33, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the "billion" is sufficiently ambiguous to be a problem, since the digit version is printed out right here: it's not like somebody is going to mistakely put an extra 000 into it because they're thinking of the long-form "billion" ... (for more on this issue, see billion.) Reading out the digits, however, is a solution worse than the problem: Nobody on Earth has ever pronounced a large number that way. - DavidWBrooks 01:46, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: That part has been taken out, but I'd suspect it meant Fahrenheit. Ten below zero in Celsius is just 14F, which is cold but not exactly "appalling," and not even all that unusual for the Łódź area in winter.

Talk:Jim Jeffords

message: A leadership vote is a vote on which the party leadership declares (through the Whip) that all members of the caucus must vote with the leadership unless excused.  Members are routinely excused if their constituency might vote them out of office over the issue.  It is rare that a particular vote is a leadership vote for one party but not the other.  When a vote splits closely along party lines, it is almost certainly a leadership vote, though that isn't normally public information per se.  Those who cross party lines almost always do so with permission from the Whip.  Those who flaunt the system are not ostracized (as you show with the Traficant example) because doing so would just cause the member to switch parties in most cases.  Rather, less drastic steps are taken like denying the chairmanship of a committee or subcommittee.  Jeffords left the Republicans because he wasn't excused from a leadership vote, voted against the leadership, and was punished.
Bernie Sanders is also an excellent example, though my understanding (2nd hand) is that Sanders' deal requires him to vote with the leadership on both procedural and substantive matters.  The Ron Paul case is interesting because he wasn't technically elected as an independent, but still has blanket freedom on substantive leadership votes.  To the best of my knowledge this is unique since parties formed in the US. - Mcarling 20:49, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

:Definition 2. A relation L over the sets X1, …, Xk is a (k + 1)-tuple L = (X1, …, Xk, G(L)), where G(L) is a subset of the Cartesian product X1 × … × Xk. G(L) is called the graph of L.

They write "We often call | f | the graph of f."

Talk:American literature

message: I guess this is just an aside, but is the fact that Walt Whitman "manages not to sound like a crass egotist" really NPOV?  That's how he always came off to me, to tell the truth.
Also, although I guess the "literary value" could be disputed, but I'm surprised not to see Stephen King listed among more recent American writers.  I've never personally read any of his books, but they've been undeniably popular.  Of course, as the previous writer(s) says, discussing current literature in this light is dangerous. :)  Seems like I should be able to think of more writers if I put my mind to it, too.

You have not given any reliable sources to support this claim and instead argue with divisive and unsupported claims of panphobia. Furthermore, what you suggest does not even seem to be correct. Pansexuals are most frequently included under the wider bisexual umbrella, a fact well referenced in the article. This is not erasure. Pansexuality is still its own distinct thing. We wouldn't have an article about it if it wasn't. The article correctly notes that not all pansexuals like being included under the wider bisexual umbrella and that this is debated. It is right there in the introduction. In short, the article does a good job of stating the situation and would not be improved by the suggested change. DanielRigal (talk) 13:50, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
