Talk:Historic Scotland

message: I have removed this section, which followed the Castle Tioram info, as borderline POV:
:It has been implied that this dispute has led to a review of the operations of the organisation. Such disputes on the proper way to conserve a building are common, but are normally resolved within an academic context. Historic Scotland seems to have had trouble dealing with a dispute spilling over into a major public argument, and has been seen as autocratic and out of touch with the economic needs of rural Scotland (which are, after all, not within its remit).
Perhaps a more rounded look at disputes on the proper way to conserve a building would be appropriate. This seems unduly negative towards HS. ::Supergolden:: 11:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Intersting. When I added this text, it did have a source, which a later editor seems to have removed. What I will do is restore the text and the source to give a level playing field. In particular It has been implied that this dispute has led to a review of the operations of the organisation was a direct reflection of the source. With it all in place, people can decide whether it remains POV (from an editorial point of view, I was bending over backwards not to be negative in my presentation of the facts, but others may disagree). Notinasnaid 11:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Just to add a little more background: the Castle Tioram saga led to significant amounts of very public, very angry criticism, in the press and even in parliament. It's certainly open to debate how to present this, but I think failing to cover it shouldn't be an option. The new paragraph as it was edited didn't really say anything at all to suggest it was anything other than a minor planning dispute. I was unable to find any attempt from Historic Scotland to defend itself, or I should have quoted it. Notinasnaid 12:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, I'm happy with that. As long as it can be backed up I don't see it as unbalanced, it just seemed a bit off without any references. I notice you also reverted my other edits. Thanks, ::Supergolden:: 14:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Per Brinch Hansen

message: I'm not entirely sure about attributing the THE OS to him rather than Dijkstra; perhaps they were both involved.
I wasn't sure enough to include his authorship of a Communications of the ACM article in the late 1970s declaring the inadequacy of both test-at-head and test-at-end loops, and advocating syntaxes for expressing all loops as "n-and-a-half-times" loops, with the test just before a block of code that is executed just before "looping back" and skipped "the last time thru".
--Jerzy(t) 20:04, 2004 Jul 28 (UTC)
Note also that in Hansen's own papers he ascribes the idea of monitors to Dijkstra.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.229.50.10 (talk) 19:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Hawaii/Archive 2

message: Why is this article using the Hawaiian language name? Marshman pointed me to talk, but the earlier discussion does not explain this. On the contrary, Marshman himself said: "The fact is, that place names ARE in English up to a point for countries, states, large cities; but after that, local names prevail.  That seems like the only reasonable and intelligent treatment for English Wikipedia. I'm not interested in having Hawai'i treated any differently." Is Hawaii not a state then? Gzornenplatz 16:52, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)
:Hawai‘ is a very unique state, but you must have missed most of the discussion (easy to do, the page is getting rather long) - actually, looking up above, I see you did read it all ! - Marshman 20:18, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: You have stated the situation correctly, and I do see you have compromised from your previously stated position. Thank you. I would point out, that there is the potential problem that many, many place names in Hawai‘i have the ‘okina in them (O‘ahu the next, after Hawai‘i, in terms of mainland vs "local" practice).  In all cases of place names, I think the same arguments (from both sides) apply.  These are NOT just Hawaiian words, which should properly be put (in Wikipedia certainly) in italics with their correct spelling. But at some point, Jerzy's argument has to come down to this: it is the rule in Wikipedia to use only English words (no matter how old or anachronistic) throughout (British vs American variants excepted). If Hawai‘i is not the correct place name, then no local name is really correct.  Languages change; word usage changes. To sudenly come out of somewhere east of the Rockies and say: "You Hawaiians do not know proper English," is an insulting position to my mind. - Marshman 22:45, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

text: Now THAT was an example of a Troll; or maybe a "WikiShark" would be more appropriate! This project attracts ALL kinds, some, unfortunately, just looking for trouble. Probably exactly how they go through life. - Marshman 02:42, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Gilmore Girls

message: In episode 15 of season 3 of House MD there is a scene where Cameron wants to get some of his blood using her feminine charms. Cameron kisses House and while kissing she wants to draw some blood with a needle hidden in her pocket. Unfortunately House becomes aware of her plan before she can carry it out. In the discussion following her discovery he tells her to look up his patient files under some number and 'under the name of Luke and Lorelai' 
This is my first time trying to contribute and I have no idea how it works, so I had the idea to post this bit of information here to inspire someone to post it in the real article that just wouldn't be complete without this tremendously important information.

thread_title:  Gilmore Girls  

message: “Gilmore Girls” shows feminism and how it works and surrounds everyday lives, specifically of a single mother and her daughter. The show portrays a single mother, who is happy and more than capable of raising a daughter by herself, and her daughter who goes from private school into an ivy league institution. Both Lorelai and her daughter Rory are independent and although they date frequently through the show, their mother-daughter dynamic comes first. As opposed to having explicit statements of feminism throughout the show, it uses strong, independent, and supportive female characters to show how feminism impacts daily life.

Talk:Shojo-ai

message: A previous version of this page stated that the English term "GirlLove" had displaced 'shoujo-ai' in Japan. This is untrue; "girllove" is a euphemism (probably mostly English, although Google gives Polish the first hit) for what the Japanese would call rorikon.
:... then again, maybe it accurately has. But regardless, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jim Breen for his wonderful, wonderful tool that allowed me to obtain glosses of the text of webpages where 「少女愛」 was used without having to actually (ick) see the page itself.

message: Tapio
Often refered to as 'the forest friend' or 'the gracious god of the woodlands' Tapio is the god of forests and woodlands. He is described has having eyebrows of moss and a beard of lichen. He is also said to be made entirely of trees.
In the old times hunters would pray to him before going out to hunt. this might suggest that they thought he would protect them from predators.

message: Achinese is an alternate (perhaps former) spelling for Acehnese, which the article ought to somehow take into account.

When I wrote this potted history of WWII for that page, it was to replace the nonsense that had added before me which said: Hitler "reannexxed" Austria in ?1938? in a military action he called "Liberstruam"(Living Room in german).Although it was essentially without any fatalities, it was in clear violation of the Versialle Treaty and Austrian right to self determination. England and the U.S.A. decided to negotiate with and finally appease Hitler through a English diplomat named Neville Chamberland. (sic) I tried to write as consise a history of WWII as possible, but it ended up being bigger than hoped. It unbalanced the article but I hoped that that would be redressed.

thread_title:  Need a section on statistical software 

message: The current statistical discussion of analysis of contingency tables speaks with an ANOVA accent.
A simpler, but more powerful way of looking at the contingency tables is using a regression with a collection of zero-one (dummy) indicator variables to code levels. 
Y = b0 + b1*X1 + b2*X2 (NOTE: 0,1 & 2 SHOULD BE SUBSCRIPTS 
Y = variable to be explained or predicted in terms of the other variables = f(X1, X2...)
b0 = Y-Intercept (beta-zero)
b1 = estimated regression coefficient for first variable (beta-one) 
X1 = first variable (x-one) 
b2 = estimated regression coefficient for second variable (beta-two) 
X2 = second variable (x-two) 
a complete regression model would include an interaction term (X1*X2) and squared terms (X1*X1) and (X2*X2). 
X1*X2 = interaction term (the coefficient of this term measures interaction (twisted response surface) between X1 and X2) 
X1*X1 = squared term (for X1) measures curvature (fits a parabola) indicating a non-linear effect 
X2*X2 = squared term (for X2) measures curvature (fits a parabola) indicating a non-linear effect 
Again we need a software table.
