message: The 6th Canadian Infantry Division (and for shorter periods, the 7th and 8th Divisions as well) actually did exist, but it was a home defence organisation only and was staffed by NMRA conscripts.  In contrast, the CAPF was supposed to be used exclusively in the Pacific theatre and would be staffed only by European theatre veterans who volunteered for service.

Talk:Lafayette, Ohio (Allen County)

message: For those who advocate "LaFayette" instead of "Lafayette": I ran a Google search for "lafayette, Ohio", checking the first fifty results.  Twenty of these I saw directly spoke of Lafayette/LaFayette; discounting the Scout troop from Lafayette Township in Medina County, sixteen referred to Lafayette, one to LaFayette, and two were Wikipedia (English and Volapük).  Furthermore, the Census Factfinder result is for Lafayette, and the GNIS supports Lafayette: , the "civil" entry, has no variant names of any type, while , the "populated place" entry, has only Lafayette Center, Laffayette, and Whittlesey, plus an official Board on Geographic Names decision for Lafayette in 1963.  Moreover, by checking the entry for  (article), you can see that GNIS gives multiple listings when the only difference is capitalisation, whether DeGraff or Degraff, so that it's obvious that the GNIS listings are case-sensitive.  I can see no basis for the claim that the article should be entitled LaFayette.  Nyttend (talk) 03:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A quick scan of the State's own website confuses the matter further, as the frequent appearance of Lafayette is varied by occasional appearances of LaFayette.

Talk:Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, A. D. 1803

message: Although admirably neutral and adequately referenced, this article needs better organization.  I suggest opening it with an introduction and dividing the subject into sections.  One curious fact emerges at the close: that although this is considered the author's masterpiece and sold well upon publication, this travel memoir was published over 70 years after the journey took place.  Why was it delayed so long and what accounts for this unusual success?  Also, specifically what parts of Scotland did the tour encompass and what elements of the author's style set this apart from other more forgettable travelogues?  To the editor or editors who brought the article this far: please take these comments in an encouraging light: I think this could become a GA with a bit more work.

replies: text: Well, quite possibly you're allowed to kill someone who's about to murder someone else (I'm pretty sure that's true in many countries), but I don't think this is an area where religious law has much influenced Israeli law.  The din rodef was unknown to most without heavy Talmudic education until it acquired this political edge; it's a fairly minor law because, of course, it's rarely applicable unless you extend it to stuff like giving away land.  I'm about 99.9997% sure that it can't be used to justify political assassinations under Israeli law, given that Amir is in prison. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 04:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Honestly it's typical in religious law, any feature that can allow for summary killing will eventually find itself being abused for political purposes by religious judges. This happens all the time in Islam, the judges abuse takfir and blasphemy laws to give fanatical followers divine blessing to murder assassinate political opponents. Rabin is the elected sovereign and had the right to do what was best for his nation, however reactionaries had a different set of political opinions and issued false rulings because they want to be kings. 2601:140:8900:61D0:C47A:7ACF:7475:35F (talk) 15:07, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Suspension of Disbelief (album)

message: I'm not generally a fan of deleting articles, but this is the most prime candidate I've ever seen.  First off, Suspension of Disbelief is a standard psychology and literature phrase, used for when you invoke cognitive dissonance to help you enjoy a movie after having caught a hole in the plot, or when it requires effort to believe the special effects or the cosmic luck of the protagonist.  Second, this band is not "a subset of Christianity," but I can fix that one.  The first requires a redirect.  If you mute the band enough, and set the prime redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief, you'll get away with not having this article deleted...  --Mrcolj (talk) 14:31, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:LADSPA

message: The original LADSPA email said "lowest common denominator" but intended "greatest common divisor" (via Greatest Common Denominator, don't ask). "Greatest common divisor" is in the header so should probably stand ;-)
--Richard
:The article presently (March 2013) reads:
LADSPA is unusual in that it attempts to provide only the "Greatest Common Divisor" of other standards.
:– which is bizarre, given that the correct English idiom to describe something which aims for maximum compatibility by implementing only common features is – you guessed it! – "lowest common denominator".
:Those allergic to maths can skip the following background! 
:#The history of this term comes from arithmetic procedures for handling vulgar (or common) fractions, which can be explained best with an example.
:#Suppose one were adding 2/15 + 7/10 + 1/6; the procedure requires that one only add equivalent parts of unity, so it's necessary to convert each vulgar fraction to the same denominator.
:#A brute force technique would be to simply multiply the three denominators together (15*10*6=900), then multiply each numerator by all the denominators other than its own (2*10*6 = 120, 7*15*6=630, 1*15*10=150) and sum the results to get the new numerator (120+630+150=900), whence the sum of the three fractions is 900/900, which, on dividing both numerator and denominator by their GCD = greatest common divisor (alias HCF = highest common factor), "cancels out to" = 1.
:#Yet much labour could be avoided - especially in more realistic examples - by the simple expedient of choosing the smallest possible denominator that would do the trick: the "lowest common denominator" (commonly abbreviated LCD).
:#That LCD represents the smallest number of equal parts (or "aliquot parts") into which unity can be divided so that each of the original fractions is just a whole number of those (aliquot) parts.
:#It's found easily enough as the smallest number which contains all the factors of the original denominators (15=3*5, 10=2*5, 6=2*3, so LCD(15,10,6)=2*3*5=30); in this case, 30.
:#Having found the LCD, each of the original fractions is then expressed as a whole number of (1/LCD) pieces: in this case 2*2=4, 7*3=21 and 1*5=5, then added, giving 4+21+5=30 pieces each of 1/30, which is 30/30 or 1.
:I leave it to you to judge whether the "greatest common divisor" or the "lowest common denominator" provides a better metaphor for "(things) having the most in common"; but standard English usage – internationally – uses the phrase "lowest common denominator", not - as this article does - "greatest common divisor".
:However, the article is not idiomatic at present, and the appropriate change should be made.
:If I hear no countervailing arguments, I'll make the change.
