Talk:Just So Stories

message: Are the just-so stories based on indian, Arab, Persian or other sories from other cultures?  The story about the whale has an American `feel' to it. Barney Bruchstein (talk) 19:02, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi at  It is an interesting question. There is a shift, I think, in the tone of the stories, sometimes musing and other times parodying. The tale you mention is discussed at one website, http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/rg_whale1.htm, the notes there are fairly conservative but extensive. An elaboration on this for each story or the whole work is worth adding to the article. cygnis insignis 16:02, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

text: At least the story 'The crab that played at the sea' is based on an older Malay story. which is also recorded in Walter W Skeat's 'Malay Magic' (Mcmillan and Co, London 1900). Sejtam (talk) 16:14, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:List of education ministries

message: This is a disambiguation page. Therefore only the departments/ministries that go by the name Ministry of Education or have Ministry and Education words in their name should be kept in this page. The first two ministries in the list doesn't look like they meet this requirement. DeliDumrul 04:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ministry of Education 

message: I propose the merge of this two articles for the following reasons:
1. Already Minister for Education redirects to Ministry of education ! (take care on "for" and "of")
2. Almost all the articles are about the Ministry giving information for the current minister as well or providing a list of ministers.

Talk:Analog signal processing

message: How is analog signal processing different from analog circuits?
What information could be presented in this article that wouldn't be covered in perfect versions of either Analog circ\\\\uit or Analog electronics?
Did anyone ever use the term analog signal processing before the invention of digital signal processing?
These questions are either an argument for removal or merging of this article, or else ideas for improving the article, but I'm not sure which. -- The Photon 04:41, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: What is ''analog signal processing''?

message: I believe there is an error when talking about the Fourier Transform.  When describing the inverse fourier transform, it should be 1/2pi.  Don't use the star because the star has been used when defining convolution.  Everywhere else in the article the terms are simply next to each other to represent multiplication.  I'm currently in a signal processing class taking studying for my final.  I'm using erhan kudeki's analog signals and systems ece 210 book as a reference.  EE undergrad @ uiuc.edu  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.160.118 (talk) 02:43, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fourier Transform 

message: The choice of one transform (Laplace) but not the other (z transform) I believe gives the reader a misleading idea of what analog really is.  This article is actually describing continuous-time analog signals.  But equipment has been manufactured that utilizes discrete-time analog signals, which this article fails to even mention.
Discrete time analog is created by sampling an analog signal at regular intervals.  Each sample however is never quantized in value, and so must be processed by analog cells.   For example, a capacitor can be used to memorize one analog sample.  (If each of the the analog values are then quantized, then the signal becomes digital.)
Conversion back and forth between discrete-time analog and continuous-time analog is mathematically lossless, where the losses occur only from the inevitable hardware imperfections, and so the information carried by both kinds of analog signals is identical.  Therefore, discrete-time analog is every bit as analog as continuous-time analog.
An example of a past commercial product using discrete-time analog signals internally is some models of video time base correctors for industrial grade analog video tape playback, where the output signal can be mixed with other video signals in electronic video effects.  The output also met FCC (federal communications commission) timing requirements for analog over-the-air TV broadcasting before the year 2009.  The internal signal was sampled for bucket brigade time base correction, but each value was never quantized.  The memory cells were analog cells.  
The 'Z' transform works much more conveniently for these kind of discrete-time analog signals in exactly the way it works for digital signals.
Therefore, the recommendation is to include both kinds of transforms, or remove both kinds. Ohgddfp (talk) 22:00, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Population transfer in the Soviet Union

message: I forgot to address this issue when my reversion was in turn reverted by Altenmann a few weeks ago, but one of the statistics cited in this article seems dubious. Many ethnic Japanese who had been living or were deployed militarily in Manchukuo, Chōsen, and the former Karafuto Prefecture and Chishima Islands ended up being detained by the USSR as POWs in 1945; some of whom never returned to Japan. However, it seems to me very unlikely that over 70,000 were living in the Soviet Far East before 1939. The size of this community would have been comparable to those established in the Americas during this same period.
Historically, there had been significant Korean populations in what became the Soviet Far East. Many Koreans also fled into the USSR after Japan annexed the Korean Peninsula. Having been born in a region then internationally recognized as an integral part of Japan, it is possible that these Koreans may have been referred to by the Soviets as "Japanese" on account of their citizenship status.
I'm unaware of any mentions of a mass Japanese migration to the USSR before 1939 as a documented phenomenon; nothing comes to my mind in Japanese or English. Are there sources in Russian that one may find on this subject? Thanks! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 01:29, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry I reverted you. The anon IP added Kola Norvegians and it was correct. I didnt notice the second addition: Japanese, which is obviously false: the authority in soviet population transfers, Pavel Polian writes that at that time in Russian Far East were at most 1,000 Japanese. Re:  --regarding them, Polian writes that Japanese and Koreans with Japanese citizenship were deported to Japan. Not to say that this was in 1937, not 1939. - Altenmann >talk 03:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: P.S. This IP's number of Norwegians was also wrong: there were about 1,000 Kola Norwegians. I Found some sources about what had happened there in 1940 and fixed the table. - Altenmann >talk 03:40, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Eschatology (religious movement)

message: * Where is Walter's grave?, in Florida?  This is important since eschatologists claim that, like Jesus’ purported resurrection, Walter passed to the next plane of existence without experiencing death!  This is not accurate. Eschatologists do not claim that Walter didn't die (or transitioned).
* What happened to his wife and their handicapped son?  Are descendants of the Walters alive?  
* What happened between Walter’s sudden death and Genevieve Rader’s revival of the cult in 1962?  Eschatology is not a cult.
* How many schisms have occurred after Rader took over the organization?  How many orthodox and schismatic eschatologists there are in the world? This has not been documented and it would be almost impossible to know.
Any info will be welcomed, preferably from published sources.  Of course, if the William Wilfred Walter article is created biographical info from Eschatology (cult) will have to be moved there. —Cesar Tort 05:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Imperial Household Agency

message: The suggestion that the agency controls "every aspect of the lives of the members of the Imperial Family, both public and private, and exerting near-total control over them" is tabloid journalism at its worst. Responsbility for appointments, wardrobe, etc is normal for a palace establishment.  The same is seen in Buckingham Palace or the White House. Positions in the Agency are not hereditary. What exactly is meant by "Nine out of ten requests from the imperial family, even the Emperor himself, are rejected"?. The claim that Princess Masako, "was denied browsing a bookstore, visiting her family, or calling her old college friends around the world or even going out for a cup of coffee." also sounds like unverified journalistic rumour.

Talk:List of escort carriers of the United States Navy

message: Somewhere the RN needs to be separated out from the USN. A basic function of an encyclopedia is to impart meaningful knowledge, not to make the reader click on every single entry to see how many USN ships got transferred to the RN. Exactly how many of these were transferred to the RN? How many served exclusively in the USN? How many were cancelled by the end of the war? How many were lost?
