Talk:David Anders

message: Any David fans here?
This article is a mess. It's redundant and needs work. It's also too breathy and fan-zine-ish, talking about David this and David that. It needs more work to be encyclopedic. I quickly copyedited the first few paras but someone needs to invest more time in this. 4.232.201.137 05:55, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Template talk:User sgn-4

message: This template was created by User:Mysekurity, but had several errors and broke the established template (see :Category:User sgn and the associated talk page). I am not a fan of the "user xx-4" templates myself, and especially so for sign languages. It is widely believed by sign language linguists and the signing community that adult learners never achieve "near-native" proficiency in a sign language unless they are already native signers in another sign language; perhaps because of the very different spatial organisation of sign languages to the linear structure of spoken languages. Anyway I wouldn't oppose this template if properly constructed but as it is it is just likely to create problems, so I blanked it for now. User:Ulayiti reverted to the broken template for some reason without correcting it. I would be happy for an administrator to delete the page (no one is currently using this template); however, if a number of other users feel strongly about the need for it, then please correct the errors. ntennis 01:33, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Blanking is not the solution for 'broken' templates, TFD is. What comes to the template having errors, . I've unblanked the template again, since as I said blanking is never the solution, and it doesn't matter anyhow if nobody's linking to the template. If you want this template deleted, you should follow correct procedure and take it to TFD, not unilaterally blank it. - ulayiti (talk) 10:08, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: TfD debate

message: Sign languages are different to spoken languages when it comes to nativeness. Most people for whom a sign language is their main or preferred language are not "native" signers; i.e. only about 1 in 20 Deaf people have Deaf parents (according to recent research in both Australia and the U.S). Are we to relegate 95% of the signing community to sgn-4 rather than sgn-N?
At the same time, many more hearing people than deaf have Deaf parents, and even though a sign language is their native language, it is not their main or preferred language. Additionally, many deaf people first encountered a sign language as adults, after incompletely learning a spoken language, but the sign langugage is still their main language more than the spoken one. So if we follow the strict logic of the "near native" User sgn-4 category, it would be populated by deaf people who have a sign language as their main or preferred language, and the category of usr sgn-N would be populated by hearing people who have a spoken language as their main or preferred language. It's a slightly sensitive issue, and I can't help but feel the concept of sgn-4 goes against the culture of the signing community (at least where I'm from). ntennis 11:03, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ranks of the Imperial Japanese Navy

message: All the officer comparisons seem to be one too high.  The pic for Ensign is actually that for Lieutenant Junior Grade and so on up the chain.  I think the problem lies that Japan did not really have a "one star" flag or admiral rank.

thread_title: Comparisons

message: Isn't it a bit too much to refer to the ranks only in Japanese?  Most Japanese naval officers and ratings did call themselves "admiral" or "commander" or "lieutenant," when they had to refer to their ranks in English, after all.  The only place where the titles can get confusing, I think, would be with the Rikusentai, the Japanese Navy Marines, whose counterparts, the US Marines, had army-style ranks, but even then, I think most went with the English translations of their ranks historically.71.226.57.75 (talk) 21:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Going overboard?

message: Regarding Japanese navy officer ranks, I'm mystified as to why primary translations are provided in the form "'Navy'+ (equivalent army rank)"; ie, 'Navy General', Navy Major', etc. This form is a literal translation. It is accurate, but it is not good English. What you include in parentheses is good English language naval terminology. If you are going to embrace literal translations, then you should not use 'naval' because 'kaigun' means literally 'sea army'. So you should be showing 'Sea Army General', not 'Navy General', which is of course absurd; but then the use of 'Navy General' for 'Admiral' is equally absurd. Per that observation, I have deleted the "'Navy'+ (equivalent army rank)" forms and generally taken the English terminology out of the parentheses, ie, 'Admiral', 'Captain', 'Lieutenant Commander', etc, to show as (American) English translations. I concede that these are US Navy rank titles; I am not clear on Royal Navy equivalents.PhuDoi1 (talk) 11:23, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Cost-push inflation

message: Monetarist economists, 2nd paragraph -
From the article, "increases in the cost of a good or service will decrease the money available for other goods and services, and therefore the price of some those goods will fall and offset the rise in price of those goods whose prices have increased."
This is industry sector against sector competition imposed by another industry sector and is generally done through market power. Phrased as it is, it implies an 'unnecessary' industry sector. Oil is an energy supply required by most industrial sectors for transportation if nothing else.
The ability of essential sectors to provide transportation for necessities are impeded by driving up costs, sapping of marginal profits. Taken to the extreme, this statement says that all man's essentials are provided by food, shelter and clothing. Societal structures are long in building and short in tearing down. Unintended consequences arise through quick reach to cliches from unexamined and unproven monetary theory. Not the ideal espoused by our democratic Republican form of government. The oil industry had oil production available but had shut in producing wells due to the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act - 1973 to 1981 which allowed only a capped profit on wells drilled prior to the oil embargo. The Windfall Profits Tax of 1980 and the repeal of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act reduced incentives of the oil industry to act non-competitively. By 1983, oil prices were down to $28 per barrel and getting softer. 
From the article, "They argue that although the price of oil went back down in the 1980s, there was no corresponding deflation."
Oil prices, being one of the primary causes at that time of inflation, having gone back down, resulted only in a return to normal demand-pull inflation, which was low due to the high prices soaking up capital, with demand for borrowing low, due to bankruptcy. It would have been better to have higher progressive taxes to repay government debt, thereby reducing competition for capital.
One of the causes for the 1970's price spiral was heavy government borrowing required to finance WWII (competition low/repressed public demand), Korean War, Vietnam War and government entitlements with an accomodating Federal Reserve. These costs are generally believed to be inflexible. This put the government in competition for capital, driving up the costs of borrowing and also driving competition for commodities. This is happening again today because government, politically, is uncomfortable in raising taxes to pay for massive spending programs, resulting in the 'hidden' tax of inflation. Higher taxes on those benefitting from the US war-footing should have no problem paying higher taxes resulting from their "rent-seeking". If they do, it would be a disincentive for them to promote unpopular causes. See Secrets of the Temple by William Greider.

Talk:Kuramoto model

message: This stochastic variation is also soluble:
Where the equilibrium state is described by energy function
H\left(\boldsymbol{\phi}\right) = -\frac{J}{N}\sum_{i<j}^N\cos\left(\phi_j-\phi_i+\alpha\right)
Free energy in the thermodynamic limit
f_\infty = -\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{1}{\beta N}\log\int d\boldsymbol{\phi}\; e^{-\beta H\left(\boldsymbol{\phi}\right)}
may be written
f_\infty = -\frac{1}{\beta}\log 2\pi + \frac{1}{\beta}\min_q\left\{\frac{1}{2}\beta J
\left(\frac{\sin{\alpha}}{\alpha}\right)q^2-\log I_0\left(\beta J\left(\frac{\sin{\alpha}}{\alpha}\right)q\right)\right\}
Other variables of interest follow as corollaries.
Obviously I could be more explicit if I were to add this to the main article...
