Talk:Ordinal number

message: There is an image with the caption "A graphical "matchstick" representation of the ordinal ω². Each stick corresponds to an ordinal of the form ω·m+n where m and n are natural numbers."
It's probably my own confusion, but the caption makes little sense to me. Assuming a "matchstick" is a single vertical line, shouldn't the caption read "... ω^3 [not ^2]. Each stick corresponds to ... ω."  ?  In any event, isn't the "+n" in the quoted caption useless? Jamesdowallen (talk) 00:23, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think, each stick denotes one number, so the sticks at the left end denote the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... . The leftmost "completely black triangle" (appearance to the human eye) then has ω at its tip. The next sticks right to it denote ω+1, ω+2, ω+3, ω+4, ... . The rightmost end of the picture then denotes ω^2. Maybe, the phrase "matchstick representation" should be explained in a footnote (along the above lines). - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 20:41, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

 Hello! 
 A short question; Is it "Sierpinsky" or "Sierpinski"? Does anyone have the
 correct name?  I have seen more variations but those are the common ones. 
 This is why I'm asking : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierpinski as far as I
 know it's "Sierpinsky" and the wikipedia is not correct. 
 SunCode.
 reply 1:
 Interesting, I always thought it was "i". I grabbed "Science of fractal
 images off the shelf" and in the index it is "y" but in lots of the text
 it is "i".....very conffusing.
 I know it's hardly definitive but a google search for the "y" version
 gives about 1,700 entries while the "i" version gives 49,000.
 This looks reliable

 reply 2:
 I would say Sierpinski if it is from Polish (as it is), Sierpinsky if
 it is from Russian (it is not).
 Perhaps the erronesous "Sierpinsky" spelling is what comes out when you
 transliterate to Cyrillic and then back again.
 reply 3:
 To be perfectly true his surname should be written with
 polish dialectal chars: "Sierpiñski"

Also, I'm a bit confused at the article's seemingly anti-Polish slant (at least in my eyes), particularly since he's often considered a Polish rather than Russian mathematician.  How can he have refused to have his work published in Polish until 1907 if he first worked at the University of Warsaw sometime around 1904?

message: I noticed that the numbers in the section "Dependency ratio" seemed unreasonable, so I followed the references and confirmed that they should be percentages.

It gives a link to an XL spreadsheet with populations in different categories, which can be combined to calculate the ratios. Is this OK?
Note, too, that the cited page and data have been updated for 2022, so its values are no longer exactly the same as those in the Wikipedia page.

3 Nephi 11:11 reads, in part, "...and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father..."
"In the which" is the question here.  This is a verse said to be from Jesus, speaking of his travails on Earth. Yet, this is very grammatically incorrect.  Here, if He was speaking of his plight, He would have said "in that which I have suffered..."  Yet, according to the Book of Mormon both in print and on the Web [], this is not His wording.
Without going into Mormon criticism or Apologists, I understand there are (or were) numerous typographical errors or unwanted colloquialisms in the original Book of Mormon.  But this is one attributed to Jesus, not some rural preacher or "prophet," and now not only remains in the modern Book but is actually on the Web.  It has never been edited out.  It is possible of a Son of God or a prophet (whichever view of Jesus is taken here, the traditional Christian sense or the Mormon's) could have spoken gibberish at times?  Did He say this in reality, or was there problems with the printer when the Book reached the press?

thread_title: [[recursively enumerable set]]

message: I did a rewrite of the page. I based the definition on recursively enumerable set and made it consistent with recursive language. 
I deleted the following proof
:The equivalence of these two definitions can be seen as follows:
:1 -> 2 Given an algorithm A according to the first definition for language L (assumed to be non-empty), the following algorithm will enumerate L according to the second definition: Let E be an algorithm which enumerates all strings, and so that every string appears infinitely often in the enumeration. We write E(n) to denote the string produced by algorithm E on input n. Pick a fixed string t in L (possible since L is non-empty). The following algorithm enumerates L: 
:Given integer n, run algorithm A on input E(n) for n steps. If the answer is YES, output the string E(n). Otherwise, output string t.
:This algorithm will only output strings from L, and it will output all of them, since for every string s in L we can find an integer n which is greater than the number of steps that A needs to accept s and such that E(n) = s.
:2 -> 1 Given an algorithm A according to the second definition for language L, the following algorithm will answer the question whether a given string s belongs to L in the sense of the first definition: 
:For all numbers n, starting with 1, and continuing in sequence, test whether the string produced by algorithm A on input n is equal to s. When the first such n is found, output YES. (Otherwise, continue the LOOP) 
I do not think it adds value to the article. Perhaps it should be integrated into the more general recursively enumerable set.MathMartin 15:33, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Religious persecution

message: I made a numebr of edits to improve the (terrible) prose throughout this article, as well as to eliminate some stuff that was clearly OR and/or POV.  Much can be done to continue to improve this article:
* More examples of modern persecution. An obviously POV blurb about the Ba'hai is the only example given post-18th Century? That is absurd.
* Antisemitism ought to be mentioned somewhere. I get the argument that the holocaust was constructed as a racial persecution and not a religious one, but this is fundamentally BS... so much so that is tilts toward a denier/Nazi-apologist standpoint by accepting the Nazi's "racialization" of an ethnically diverse Jewish population living in Germany and occupied countries as biological or ethnographic fact, rather than as an invention of antisemitic/Nazi ideology and propaganda (e.g., many Jews who were killed were, for example, ethnic Germans; characterizing Jews as a homogeneous 'race' is an invention of antisemitic rhetoric).
* What about the suppression of African religion during the slave trade? There are numerous RSs that describe forcible conversion and persecution of traditional African religion on plantations and in the colonies.
*What about the active persecution of Native American religion at the hands of the US Government (e.g. as manifest through the boarding school system)? This is also well-documented, and RSs should be available in tons.
