Talk:Britannia Superior

message: This looks pretty good so far. I know this is just a rough draft right now, but there are a few little typos/grammatical errors that you'll want to fix. I like the structure of the article, but I have a couple suggestions for you. First of all, could you maybe give a brief description of what the civil war was about? Also, you mentioned that there is information in the form of inscriptions left by soldiers. If you could maybe find an example or two of the actual inscriptions (or at least give a brief description of them) that would be really cool. And lastly, I know you said that the list of governors was sort of incomplete, but maybe you could try to find approximate dates for when those men held the office. I feel like if you do those things it will help flesh out the article a little bit. Good work though! --megan gier 02:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hey all, I'm going to be doing loads of work on this page for my uni history course in the coming weeks. This is reading like a great article so far. Good sources, relevant facts about state leaders ect... I look forward to expanding on info regarding the civil war and digging deep into Britannia Superior's history. I particularly enjoy fun facts and perspectives that aren't necessarily part of our standard colonial Roman-Provincial narrative. Feel free to hop onto this page and collab. Party on.

thread_title:  Personal style 

message: This article is in need of a major rewrite. Caustics are critical value sets of Lagrangian mappings. This follows from the work of V. I. Arnold and his school. We are able to classify the generic local structure of caustics and the generic bifurcations of families of caustics because of his work and the work that followed. A caustic as the envelope of light rays is a very, very special example of a caustic. I'm going to rewrite this article in the next week. But before I start I would like some input. Indeed: I would like come collaborators. Take a look at this section and this section that I've just written. They give the very general definition for a caustic. ~~ Dr Dec (Talk) ~~  16:18, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The current version of the lead paragraph is much too technical for someone who might be expected to read this article. Not every knows what a symplectic manifold or a Lagrangian fibration is and they should not be expected to look up these terms to learn what a caustic is. It's good to include this theoretical viewpoint in the article, but please put it at the end.--RDBury (talk) 18:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Rollup

message: Elsewhere somebody suggested that "roll-up" might be a non-notable neologism. I'd disagree with that strongly. It's business jargon, but popular jargon. I first heard the term from an M&A expert a decade ago, and a quick search in Google News finds 5 recent uses of it:     . Google books also shows a ton of usages. Search for "rollup aquisition" or "roll-up acquisition" to separate out this sense from the other usages. Hope that helps, William Pietri 02:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Usage examples 

message: After Levselector's edit, I changed the entry so that the investment sense is back as primary.

message: I don't know what constitutes a "rollup" as far as print/marketing material, else I wouldn't have been trying to look it up on Wikipedia.com.

The name rollup I believe is from the fact that these materials usually rollup.

message: No-one seems to have mentioned that one benefit of rollup might be that it removes competition. When all competitors have been rolled up whats left might possibly be a monoply. surely this must make it more profitable regardless of any economies of scale?

Maximus (means=the oldest among the sons) -> Maximianus. 
Also "Diocles" (Greek name) got Diocletianus
Maximianus emperor in Milan was a colleague of Diocletianus, begun emperor (and dismissed the "purpura") on the same day, Dioctetian in Nicomedia ad Maximianus in Milan
But  Maximianus came back on the scene with is son Massentius

Talk:Msiri

message: In this article I've tried to place the negative views of Msiri which come chiefly from European sources in context, mindful that there are African views which are more positive. I think that if Msiri had signed the treaty with the CFS, he would have been rehabilitated in Belgian eyes at least, and they would have supported him militarily and shored up his kingship because of the legitimacy it would have conferred on their colonial rule. The Yeke/Garanganze would have been numerically greater and Msiri's successors would have been much more powerful in colonial Katanga. Such hindsight doesn't have a place in an encyclopedic article though. 
The article could do with these additions which I haven't been able to track down:
*An illustration of Msiri. The one on the Kingmsiri website is, I think, a modern painting (the clothing looks modern), but perhaps the missionaries or members of other expeditions made sketches which have been published. 
*What happened to Msiri's head? Was it taken back to Europe as some in Katanga think?
*More detail of Msiri's exploits, character and rule, particularly before the colonial expeditions started arriving.

And ZG(c-1Sc) = (c-1)b(c) for b in ZG(S).

Talk:Suburban Baths (Pompeii)

message: Good job so far. You said you were still working on getting your sources and pictures up, so I'm assuming that you're probably already planning on putting up some pictures of the art in the baths. Or if you aren't, that would be a good idea. Also, maybe you could include some information about baths in general, such as maybe the type of people who used them, how the different facilities in the baths worked, and the general process of going to the baths (ie what order people went to the different rooms in, etc). I know that information maybe isn't specifically only about the Pompeian baths, but I feel like it would still help give a good context for the article. I really enjoyed the part about the erotic art where you mentioned how the people used the art to identify their lockers. This article is looking good so far, and I know it will be even better once you get some pictures in there! Good job! --megan gier 02:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:House of the Tragic Poet

message: Good job. I like how you used all the Latin names for the rooms. You have a few small typos, so just make sure you go back and read it closely before you submit the final version. I like the pictures; they really add a lot to the article. My main suggestion is that you might want to give a couple more explanations about the rooms. If you do this, you might want to break the article up into more sections, just so it doesn't look so dense and is easier to read. Also, did you find any information about the owner of the house? It would be kind of cool to know a little something about who lived there, if you can find it anywhere. Other than that, I can't really think of much else that you should change.
