Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, is the day of Mexican FORTHEWIN over teh Frenchies, tho the general who was the hero of the day's last name is Zaragoza (Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín tho the Seguín is a way of naming that uses his mom's middle name... the family name is Zaragoza).

It has a set of beliefs concerting the nature of the world and a set of ideals and guidelines to 'moral' conduct. In essence, it takes all the trappings of religion and applies them to state ideology. If religion is the opiate of the masses, then juche is the methedone.

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

message: Regardless of what Stephen I's ethnicity was (and bearing in mind that ethnicity then is really not the same concept as it is now), would it be fair to say that his actions affected both Serb and Bosniak regions?
And thus, we can include this article in both "Bosniak history" and "Serb history". And the only reason "Bosniak" comes before "Serb" is because of alphabetical order.

Talk:Massage

message: Korean massage is a type of therapeutic massage that incorporates various techniques such as acupressure, deep tissue massage, and stretching. It focuses on increasing circulation, releasing tension in muscles and joints, and promoting overall relaxation and well-being. Korean massage may also incorporate the use of hot stones, herbal remedies, and other traditional Korean healing techniques. It is often performed on a mat on the floor and may involve the therapist using their feet, knees, and elbows in addition to their hands. Overall, Korean massage can be a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience for both the body and mind.

thread_title:  Question regarding "specific area of massage" subsection. 

message: The format of the history section stands out as non-Wikipedia-like to me; it should either be turned into a timeline or rewritten as prose. There are also some weird choices for events to highlight -- why is the birth of Pehr Henrik Ling mentioned? Why is there a tangent about the translation of Galen's manuscripts and Avicenna (described beyond their relationship to massage therapy)? The entire "Modern times" subsection does not describe any modern history of massage, instead describing its contemporary use (as opposed to its development). In addition, many of the citations are incorrect, not actually supporting the associated claims. ARoseThorn (talk) 03:02, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Data General Business Basic

message: Although I know the B32 story well, I'm relying on memory for many details of the DG Business Basic. There was an article written for the magazine Focus in the late 1980s by George Henne on the history of Business Basic; I'll try to find it, but if anyone from Data General, Transoft or Bluebird sees this, please add material.--Gadfium 06:21, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

message: It might be true, but I do wonder if "most" is backed up by any data. I think many Fortran applications would have been run on Novas, but possibly ported from other systems rather than developed on Novas. Assembly Language and Algol programs on Novas would have been unique to Novas and so presumably a high percentage of them would have been developed on Novas, but that would probably be a high percentage of a small number. I certainly would believe most business apps on Novas would have been in BBASIC.  And I wrote a h-u-g-e number of apps in BBASIC (that ran on a Nova and microNovas, and eventually an MV). 
I was very impressed with Business Basic, and it was very easy to write code that worked first time; we comfortably ran 9 terminals of various brands (DG, TVI, ADM, Qume, even a Compucolor) off a Nova 3/D. We hired university students during break time, and they all picked it up and could do good things with it very quickly, and when coupled with the concept of "program skeletons" (thanks Ron!), which BBasic programs encouraged, it was easy for me to read and understand all their programs long afterwards because they all conformed to the same pattern (most programming languages before and since do not encourage program skeletons; having too much flexibility is often a bad thing IMHO). The only real inelegance was the quirkiness of the STMA/B/C subroutines (obviously produced by mucking around with the DG Multiuser BASIC "ucall" source code). I have an early BBASICD manual and some older ones, but don't know the full story of how it developed - it would be nice to see a table or something like that showing how it developed over time (e.g. when was optimisation to RPN internally added?)

replies: text: I've looked through my file of clippings about BB and cannot find a source for the statement "Most applications...".

Talk:Deryck Cooke

message: Thanks for your Mahler article! Deryck Cooke produced two performance versions of the 10th. The first version had its world premier at the Proms in 1964 and was recorded by Eugene Ormandy and the Philidelphia Orchestra (on Columbia, I believe, though it could have been RCA - I don't have this recording) in the late sixties. He then revised this version with the help of a young Mahler scholar and this version was recorded by Wynn Morris and the Philharmonia Orchestra on Philips in the early seventies. It is this beautifully recorded version that introduced me to the work and it is still my sentimental favorite. I do greatly admire Rattle as well and heard him perform the complete 10th in 1979 or 1980 in San Francisco and own the recording you mention as well as the later Berlin redo. He is my favorite Mahlerian (live and in person) going now. I've heard hin conduct both a second and fourth over the years. Unfortunatley, the sound quality that EMI produces is very disappointing. I still love that old Phillips analog recording. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.206.89.237 (talk • contribs).

Talk:Sousa

message: I am a wee bit skeptical about this claim that having the surname D'souza in India means that there is a good chance of Portuguese descent being involved.

thread_title:  List of countries 

message: It seems to me the current formula in the article might be slightly incorrect. Here is the current formula:
:G = \frac{\displaystyle{\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \left| x_i - x_j \right|}}{\displaystyle{2 \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n x_j}} = \frac{\displaystyle{\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \left| x_i - x_j \right|}}{\displaystyle{2n\sum_{j=1}^n x_j}} = \frac{\displaystyle{\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n \left| x_i - x_j \right|}}{\displaystyle{2 n^2 \bar{x}}} 
Specifically, the current numerator suggests it would include each person's difference from themself, i.e., x_i-x_j, where i=j. However, if j is defined as the set of all other persons who aren't i, then the upper limit of j's index ought to be n-1. Thus, I believe the numerator ought to be:
::\displaystyle{\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^{n-1} \left| x_i - x_j \right|}
Moreover, I propose that the article be updated to explicitly define j.
Lastly, I'm not sure whether the denominator needs any updating. MosesRivera100 (talk) 19:07, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
