thread_title:  Projection in databases 

message: . Many place names in WikiPedia use an orthographic projection image of the earth to more usefully illustrate the position on the surface of the earth.  The advantage is that of the orthographic projection is that is gives more 'practical' position & directional information to near-by (same hemisphere) features (coasts, islands, continents, etc.) which are directly usable for aircraft flights, radio propagation, etc.
. It would be useful to indicate how new projections can be generated when someone puts in a new place name.
. Note that there are many types of (ie: there is no 'true') orthographic projection.

The word "projection" is directly reminiscent of projection (physics) (as far as I'm concerned), and a lot of pages currently listed on this page are derivatives of this primary concept. I propose making projection (physics) the primary topic, and disambiguating others on Projection (disambiguation). moving Projection to Projection (disambiguation), and making Projection a redirect to Reflection (physics) (Projection (physics) will be unnecessary).

message: , could you explain what value to readers is provided by the WP:EL to the novel, Kilroy's Conformity? There are no independent reviews of the book to rely upon, so all there is to go on is the publisher's provided description:

thread_title:  Second Largest Local Authority in Europe. 

message: I noticed that a contributor has changed the lead section of the Liverpool article just recently. The Liverpool lead section now only includes Liverpool's local authority population and the population of the official city region. Having looked at the Birmingham Leeds and Edinburgh articles, I notice that their lead sections make reference to the wider metropolitan area. 
To quote the Birmingham article lead section: "The wider metropolitan area has a population of 4.3 million, making it the largest outside of London." The citation is worldpopulationreview.com
To quote the Leeds article: "The city is part of the fourth-largest built-up area by population in the United Kingdom, West Yorkshire Built-up Area, with a 2011 census population of 1.7 million" The citation is ONS Census 2011. The WY Built-up Area is out of date and is not calculated any more. But I am wondering if this needs to be in the lead section as an editor has removed mention of Liverpool metropolitan area from its lead section. 
To quote the Edinburgh lead section, "The wider metropolitan area has a population of 912,490." The citation is OECD.
I am sure there are many many examples on wiki where city articles make reference to a wider 'urban region' or metropolitan area.
Should we be aiming for consistency in these articles? I have also started an RfC on the Leeds, Liverpool and Edinburgh articles. Liverpolitan1980 (talk) 10:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Deletion? 

message: The "prime example" of the prisoner's dilemma described seems more like an instance of chicken to me, because a mutual refusal to play failure cards results in a worse position for both refusing players (loss of the game) than playing one when the other person doesn't (you lose a resource in a move that also benefits the other player, but at least the game is still on so you have a shot at winning).  While these are similar game-theoretical scenarios, they are subtly different and it seems fairly clear which one applies here.  -- Milo

thread_title: Tuvaluan Scouting

message: Niko Besnier (2000. Tuvaluan: A Polynesian Language of the Central Pacific. London: Routledge, , p. 609) as well as Geoff and Jenny Jackson (1999. An introduction to Tuvaluan. Suva: Oceania Printers, pp.6-7, ) both state that the labial fricative phonemes of Tuvaluan are labio-dental, and not bilabial. Only the voiced labial fricative may "in casual speech, sometimes" be bilabial, according to Besnier (who uses the term labio-labial). This, however, is not the norm. Besnier's field research was mostly done on Nukulaelae. During my own almost twelve-year-long linguistic field research on Funafuti, I have never heard the labial fricatives being realised as [ɸ] and [β] but always as [f] and [v]. The phoneme /h/ is still in general, not limited, use in the Nanumea and Nanumaga dialects, especially in the speech of older speakers, including in some loanwords (Besnier, op. cit., pp. 609-610).

message: According to the article, Tuvaluan possesses three articles, not four. I don't know which theory of grammar the article follows, but "a zero article" is something that doesn't exists.

Talk:Organic reaction

message: Yikes, this page is insane.  This sort of material almost deserves its own wikipedia.
----
My proposal:
organic reaction: general description some history, mostly links no elaborations
links to
* organic reactions by type 20 max!
mirrors Inorganic chemical reaction currently holds 4 main types
for example March:
aliphatic nucleophilic substitution, aromatic electrophilic substitution, aliphatic electrophilic substtitution, aromatic nucleophilic substtitution, free radical substitution, addition to carbon-carbon multiple bons, addition to carbon - hetero multiple bonds, eliminations, rearrangements, oxidations, reductions
* organic reactions by type of compound synthesised
this will clean up a lot, cut everything up in more digestable pieces
----
My proposal:
There are only 5 types of reaktions!!!!!! (My Prof said once!)
Nucleophilic 
Electophilic
Radical
Reduction
Oxidation
All reactions fit in one of these Categories!

There reimains no document of the same age that explains the end of Lelang and Daifang commanderies in the peninsula.
Quote from 三國史記 卷第十七 高句麗本紀 第五 美川王
:十四年 冬十月 侵樂浪郡 虜獲男女二千餘口十五年 ... 秋九月 南侵帶方郡
Samguk Sagi merely says that Goguryeo invaded the Lelang commandery in 313 and the Daifang commandery in 314. It does NOT say Goguryeo conquered or annexed them.
Quote from 資治通鑑 卷第八十 孝懷皇帝下建興元年 (313)
:遼東張統據樂浪、帶方二郡，與高句麗王乙弗利相攻，連年不解。樂浪王遵說統帥其民千餘家歸廆，廆為之置樂浪郡，以統為太守，遵參軍事。
According to 資治通鑑, Zhang Tong (張統) and Wang Zun, the de fact rulers of Liaodong, Lelang and Daifang, went for help to Murong Hui, a Xianbei warlord, with his subjects in 313. Murong Hui put another small Lelang commandery in Liaodong.
Neither 三國史記 nor 資治通鑑 exmplain what happened to the former Lelang. Therefore, it is not clear whether Goguryeo wrested Lelang and Daifang or just filled political vacuum. And the accurate dates of there events.
The Daifang commandery was maintained in Southern Manchuria for a while although 資治通鑑 doesn't mention it. So I think "disappeared in the peninsula" is appropriate. --Nanshu 22:48, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)
