Talk:Fort Wood (New York and New Jersey)

message: The following info is lifted from the New York State Military Museum website:
http://dmna.ny.gov/forts/fortsT_Z/woodFort.htm
"Fort Wood: 1811, Statue of Liberty, Bedloe's Island. In 1811 an 11 pointed star-shaped battery with 30 guns was completed. Named Ft Wood (for Lt. Col Elenzer Wood battle of Lake Erie) in 1814. 1861 used for 100 sick Confederate POWs from Castle Williams, later moved to Fort Warren in Boston harbor. By 1877 the island was under consideration for the Statue of Liberty and a garrison post had been built around the original fort. The island was selected and the pedestal completed within the fort by April 1886 and the statue installed thereafter. Taken over for maintenance by the War Department in 1902. The National Park Service was formed in 1916 and took over operations in 1933 of two acres while the Army kept 10 acres. The NPS took total control in 1937 and the Army began to close the fort through December 1944. The garrison post buildings of Fort Wood were torn down from 1948 to 1950."
This needs to be suitably worked into the article, along with a picture of it as a fort as the dominant pic, not just the base of the Statue of Liberty.

Talk:Lenox Hill Hospital

message: I have raised a citation need against Nelson Rockefeller being listed as having died at the hospital, because circumstances of his death have been disputed. Reports of his death indicate he died of a heart attack at his townhouse (his Rockefeller Center office by another account), and his Wikipedia biography does not indicate he was taken to any hospital, reporting of his attack being delayed on part of those who could have reported it.

Talk:Batesian mimicry

message: I've no idea which acknowledged scholar made the point, so that I can't add this the paragraph, but an observation is obviously missing on imperfect protective mimicry. Predators recognizing an aposematic coloration from a distance lose predatory incentive to take a closer look, so the critical ecological interaction of a predator renouncing to prey on the mimic, operates on average in viewing conditions that are below the optimum for discriminating between model and mimic. This situation differs from other forms of mimicry meant to lure the dupe into proximity to the mimic.2A02:1205:34FD:EE0:20AB:9974:1A6A:2D42 (talk) 08:29, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Imperfect Batesian Mimicry 

message: "Experiments have shown that squirrels that are sympatric (live together) with such owls are more cautious than other populations.[8]"
Does not make sense. Why would the squirrels become more cautious in an environment that contains a batesian mimic of its predator? They would become less cautious since chances are the hissing sound is not from a snake.—Preceding unsigned comment added by User:128.189.229.166 (talk • contribs) on 01:08, 21 April 2008
:You're almost certainly right here, thanks for pointing this out. The only other possibility is that the mimicry evolved because they are so cautious. I still haven't got round to reading the whole paper (and thus the slow progress of this article of late), but I'll have to check up on this. Richard001 (talk) 01:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible Error? 

message: This section in the article seems a little out of place and a little too specific for an article about all of Batesian mimicry. If there is enough information about flowers mimicking ants wouldn't it be best to create a new article about it and only mention it briefly in the Batesian mimicry article? Clean Demeanor (talk) 17:25, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, that is always an option, but at the moment that article would be hard to source so it's probably some years of research away yet. A section with a "main" link to the subsidiary article and a brief summary of that article would not be shorter than the current section, by the way. As a subtopic it certainly belongs here, isn't unduly long, and illustrates nicely that Batesian doesn't just mean butterflies. It may be worth observing that ants are extremely numerous and widespread, both geographically and taxonomically (22,000 species), and that they are key elements of many ecosystems, so interactions with them are significant.

Talk:Elizabeth Jane Caulfeild, Countess of Charlemont

message: This article says her father was William Meredyth, first Lord Athlumney, but the article Baron Athlumney suggests that 
he might perhaps have been William Meredyth Somerville, 5th Baronet Somerville and later 1st Baron Athlumney.
This article also refers to her husband James Molyneux, third earl of Charlemont while the article on Moy, County Tyrone refers to James Caulfield, 1st Earl of Charlemont (1728-1799). While the dates are clearly different, I assume there is some connection between the 1st and 3rd Earls.... Was Caulfield her married name, and if so does this mean her husband was James Molyneux Caulfield?
Or maybe I'm just making too many assumptions! I guess we need some references to clarify this?

replies: text: Actually, I think eager deletion involves with filling the hole with a value previously gotten, that matches the chain sequence.

replies: text:  Fresheneesz, with linear probing, eager deletion is pretty quick. It involves scanning all the values from the deleted value to the end of the cluster: O(cluster_length), which is exactly the same values scanned for lookups. The  describes the exact algorithm. Many implementations of linear-probe hash tables, in order to keep lookups fast (which also makes deletes relatively fast), automatically grow the hash table or switch to a different hash function whenever clusters get too long. --DavidCary (talk) 22:25, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
