Talk:William Tebb

message: When was Tebb's last prosecution?
In 1898 the vaccination law was amended to allow exemption for parents, based on conscience, which introduced the concept of "conscientious objector" into English law
Was it substantially before 1898?
This article about a person gives only a single flavour of them - did he do anything else?  And, why?
Midgley 22:08, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

message: "His interest in vaccination was started when "
If he had made a reasoned decision to resist immunisation of his daughter, surely his interest would have started _before_ she was called forward for immunisation, not after.  If it were the other way around, then it would be a suggestion that he acted - for whatever reason - and only afterward beccame interested in the subject and constructed a framework of thought to account for his actions, and decided to present it to others.
(YOu could have been right, but I think one would have to have direct evidence that he had shown no interest, acquired no knowledge base for decision befor making a decision about his daughter's healthcare.Midgley 22:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jewish religious terrorism

message: Hi Urthogie, I'm wondering why you've restored and renamed this, as it'll become a magnet for POV and original research.

replies: text: I intend on holding this mainly as a disambiguation page, that explains that most terrorism inspired by Judaism by Jews has been done for radical zionist causes, and also to link to non-zionist cases of jewish terrorism.  So it will be more a disambig than anything else.--Urthogie 09:10, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that there's any ambiguity involved. It's just what it is. If you're not planning to add sourced examples of Jewish extremists who have committed "terrorism", then there's no real call for anything more than a redirect. Grace Note 11:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I think we desperately need a Cardiff Docks article, which deals with the development and industrial heritage of the docks and its workings. On that basis I would merge the existing separately named docks articles into it. There is also a need for a separate Tiger Bay article, which can reference to the Cardiff Docks article but deals with the people and culture of the area. At the moment it mentions little on where the area is or its culture, but mostly references the industrial development of the docks: why does it not mention for instance the Norwegian Church, Cardiff? I would also keep an article on Butetown, although accept they are all mixed up together. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 12:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

message: A better translation of the title is needed. There was none there at all, so I put in the (almost certainly deficient) Babelfish translation as a temporary measure. As Inglorious Bastards gets underway, this page will be more and more referenced, and the title translation, since it's allegedly where Tarantino got his film's title, is needed.

Talk:Rényi entropy

message: Renyi entropy was defined axiomatically in Renyi's Berkeley entropy paper.  In this, a weakening of one of the Shannon axioms results in Renyi entropy; that's why α=1 is special.  Also, some of Renyi entropy's applications - Statistical physics, General statistics, Machine learning, Signal processing, Cryptography (a measure of randomness, robustness), Shannon theory (generalizing, proving theorems), Source coding - should be added with context.  I don't have all this handy right now, but I'm sure each piece of this is familiar to at least one person reading this page.... Calbaer 05:59, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

LachlanA 23:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mathworld says they're non-decreasing. I think that's an error; it probably depends on whether you're using positive or negative entropies. I've fixed the inequalities, an obvious example of H_\infty = H_2 = 2H_\infty is n=1, p_i = 1. ⇌Elektron 18:58, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I would suggest removing the sentence
"In the Heisenberg XY spin chain model, the Rényi entropy as a function of α can be calculated explicitly by virtue of the fact that it is an automorphic function with respect to a particular subgroup of the modular group.[2][3]"
from the beginning of the article. This is quite technical, and in no way an important fact about Rényi entropy, but rather about the Heisenberg model. It could be moved elsewhere in the article if so desired, although I personally don't see this as necessary.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.190.84.1 (talk • contribs) 10:32, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  how to contribute to this page.... 

message: There is a book called something like 'Currency Reform in the Straits Settlements' by J O Antoniscz. It goes into great detail about the events surrounding the creation of the Straits dollar and the reasons for it. It hadn't been long since Hong Kong and the Straits had both jointly pressed the British government for a silver dollar coinage. In 1895, they were granted the British Trade Dollar which was minted in Bombay and Calcutta. But no sooner had the Straits Settlements got the British Trade Dollar when they wanted to go off silver and unto gold. When the Straits Dollar was introduced in 1903, it was a silver dollar in the likeness of the British trade dollar. The challenge was then to get its sterling exchange value raised in comparison to that of the British trade dollar. This was achieved by demonetizing all the other dollars.
