message: The various computer scientist by nationality categories were listed for deletion at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion. The consensus was to keep the categories, by a narrow margin (5 delete votes, including one anonymous; 4 keep votes).

For one thing, it leaves direct inclusion in this category entirely male. For another, unless someone follows up systematically, it will probably decrease the chance of any of these women being also placed in other breakdowns from this category, such as their technical specialty. - Jmabel | Talk 06:44, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Trivia?
Happen to have an estimation of how many songs, or hours, have been on the air during terrestrial? or internet so far?
Any mention of the boards?
More WOXY unique commercials? What about better details for the features, events, & special broadcasts? (as I wrote those things about the 500 & battle of bands off the top of my fading memory & it could definitely use more bands that made it big/national after the competition)
Name of staff members through the years?
What about the correct spelling for the Baloughs & their 1st names? Perhaps a description of their intent to start up the station? or something a bit personal about them & what they wanted?
Specific broadcast range?
anything else. Don't worry, be aggressive in adding/editing, we can revert bad edits or fix up inaccuracies. Give this radiostation article a bit more character... please. --Duemellon 13:39, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Somehow I remember Sagan using the term "billions and billions" in the PBS TV series Cosmos.  Then again, this was back in 1980.  As far as parody uses, the comic strip Bloom County once featured a conversation between one of the main characters (Milo?) and Carl Sagan (overexaggerated by use of the term "billyons and billyons").  --66.210.33.200 06:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm familiar with the series, and I don't recal the phrase "billions and billions" coming up. Though, Sagan does seem quite fond of the term "billions" by itself as we know (and sometimes "billion trillion"). He did write a book named Billions and Billions in 1996, likely named after the phrase people had attributed to him. A quote from him about the phrase appears on WikiQuote : "I never said it. Honest." --Robomojo 07:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I've deleted the statement from the article that says it's necessary to use the short billion in order to derive a Sagan as four billion.

Talk:Drone music

message: Everything is already invented in music. Besides, machines will compose music from now on, providing enough variation in sound, time and notes.
Anyway, as long as people consume music, or whatever it’s called music, they’ll be music distribution companies and maybe authors and interpreters. In order to well sell music, music distribution companies must keep innovating at least labels. 
Again, all possible combinations of notes, attitudes, sounds, instruments are already invented. 
The only thing companies have to do to keep selling is:
1º Advertise same music styles with new labels to make it appear new.
2º Expect young people to be ignorant and in general society to forget where we come from and where we go.
We come from exactly here and we go nowhere else, since we have the same wars as we had in the past and we’ll have in the future.
I listen to the music and I play music to enjoy and that’s the point of it. I don’t need labels or companies to tell me what should I like or buy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.163.26.99 (talk) 15:18, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Fréchet filter

message: Regarding The Fréchet filter is included in every free filter and an ultrafilter is free if and only if it includes the Fréchet filter, there is a technical hiccup because ultrafilters are defined more generally on posets and Fréchet/cofinite filters more specifically for a power set lattice. Perhaps there is a representation theorem that can make this okay if isomorphism is swapped for equality. I am not very familiar with this stuff yet, so if anyone knows, a fix or comment would be appreciated. Also, "the" of "the cofinite filter" might lose its footing somewhat in that case.? Cheers, Honestrosewater (talk) 00:16, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Minimum-variance unbiased estimator

message: I started with this: 
While the particular specification of "optimal" here — requiring unbiasedness and measuring "goodness" using the variance — may not always be what is wanted for any given practical situation, it is one where useful and generally applicable results can be found.
which struck me as too hand-holdy for an encyclopedia.
Then, trying to maintain the original spirit, I wound up with this: 
While combining the constraint of unbiasedness with the desirability metric of least variance leads to good results in most practical settings—making MVUE a natural starting point for a broad range of analyses—a targeted specification may perform better for a given problem; thus, MVUE is not always the best stopping point.
I can't say I'm loving that, either, although it does conform to the standard template of advice I've received many times from various machine learning podcasts: do this simple, deeply-motivated thing first, and only then, if you're sure you need to, try the special blades.  
Perhaps the real solution here is simply better material. — MaxEnt 20:45, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Overly elaborate examples of PA problems 

message: I would like to ass a small section under the Subjective heading regarding one of the risks of using it to pay employees.
Employers may also have personal bias when subjectively analysing employee performance. Whether deliberate or not an employers relationship can alter their perception of how an employee is performing subjectively. An employee with a poor relationship with their supervisor may be continually under-rated by the supervisor in performance-reviews. This bias may also present itself in the form of discrimination of minority groups as supervisors may view their work as ‘lower quality’ because of who they are and not what they do.

Talk:Frank Hardy

message: In addition to the journalism already mentioned, he had a column for quite a few years, right up until his death, in what would now be called a "lad's mag" - I'm not sure if it was Pix or People or Post.  His column had the sub-title "Australia's most Australian Australian".
If someone could verify (or at least remember) this, then this should be added to the article, to indicate that he was "a man of the people", or at least "one of the boys".  As it is, the article makes him look more serious than he probably was.
Also, his famous animosity with Patrick White might be given some space.  The latter author was very different in personality, and probably (I never met either of them, so am just speculating from things I have read) did think that he (PW) was a superior sort.  FH liked to try and take him down a peg or two.
