thread_title: Who lives here

message: Repairing incoming links to this page requires more research in reliable sources than usual.  While repairing the majority of 90 recent incoming links, I find a timeline is helpful.  Most incoming links to Tonawanda intend either the Town of Tonawanda (est. 1836) or the City of Tonawanda (est. 1904).  References to "Tonawanda" prior to 1904 usually intend the Town, but references concerning lumber, shipping, etc. in the period 1854 to 1904 may intend the Village of Tonawanda (1854-1904).  From its incorporated area on the south side of the Erie Canal, the Village expanded north into unincorporated Niagara County.  In 1897 the north side broke away from the Village and incorporated as the City of North Tonawanda.  In 1904 the Village was (re)incorporated as the City.  --Una Smith (talk) 00:36, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Leninism

message: The following sentence in the introduction occurs with any antecedent explanation of the term "Bolshevik": "As the vanguard party, the Bolsheviks viewed history through the theoretical framework of dialectical materialism, which sanctioned political commitment to the successful overthrow of capitalism, and then to instituting socialism; and, as the revolutionary national government, to realize the socio-economic transition by all means."  This is a non sequitur since the relationship between Leninism and the Bolsheviks has so far not been established. Jojalozzo (talk) 21:04, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

message: The second sentence is wrong:
"A topology on a set may be defined as the collection of subsets which are considered to be "open". An alternative definition is that it is the collection of subsets which are considered "closed"."
The collection of closed sets of a topological space X is certainly an *equivalent* way to define the topology on X.  But it is not an alternative definition.
The word "topology" always means the collection of open sets. Then if you want to define the topology on a set by means of the closed sets, that works fine.
But do not redefine the word "topology".2600:1700:E1C0:F340:C6E:324D:7979:1739 (talk) 23:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

message: Hmm, I'm confused by CopyrightedFreeUse, which seems to be yours. The URL doesn't have any info about licensing, either way. Is CopyrightedFairUse just the same as a dedication to the public domain? Or is it something else? Have you already answered this? :) Martin 17:50, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Martin - tbh I have no ideas what license they have released them under, and I don't think they have either. All I have is what they said to me on the email. I don't think they care who uses them. I don't know how we deal with organisations that don't know or care about the detail of licensing. Secretlondon 17:54, Feb 22, 2004 (UTC)
Yes, that is a puzzler. Hassle them is one option, but the problem is always that the person being hassled might not be the person who has the authorisation to grant licenses. Perhaps have a seperate MediaWiki message for this photo library (linking to this email exchange) until someone can get clarification. "CopyrightedFreeUse" is a really bad tag in my opinion, because it's not really clear what it might mean. Better to let people know about the uncertainty? Martin 18:34, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: Yes - fair enough. I didn't know what to call it. I'm worried about hassling them as I'm not sure anyone knows, they would probably have to ask the legal department which would cost them and it would be easier and cheaper to say no.

message: I suggested the merge. 
The main concept behing wqo and wpo are the same even though the technicalities may differ slightly.

The resulting article can list other variants like better-quasi-orderings etc. Btw, comparing the variants is more natural inside a single article.

thread_title: Merge with [[Well-quasi-ordering]]?

message: In Bourbaki-speak, a "partial well-order" is a what Wiki calls a well partial order, and a "Noetherian order" is the opposite of a partial well-order. (In a Noetherian ring, the inclusion relation between ideals is a Noetherian order, whence the jargon.) There are 8 or 9 different known characterizations of these types of orders; e.g. they support an (ordinal-valued) Grundy function, or, they admit a strictly increasing mapping onto a well-ordered set. I can knock up an article with the whole story, if there is any interest.
LDH (talk) 09:09, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
