Talk:Listowel mutiny

message: Why is it likely?
“.. the exact words in all probability being the ones that Smyth was relaying....”
How would you know this?
Less sanitized version here.....
http://www.policehistory.utvinternet.com/listowel.html
To call this article a "sanitized version" is completely unfair and, I think, reflects the anonymous commentator's own POV.
There are two different versions of what was said at Listowel that day: Mee's, and Smyth's.  The article's author seems to consider Smyth's version more reliable, and is not alone in this judgment: IIRC, Charles Townshend also came down on the side of Smyth in one of the standard workd on the War of Independence, The British Campaign in Ireland.
Nonetheless, other historians have concluded that Mee was the more reliable witness.  The article should be revised to reflect the fact that there is disagreement over whose version of events was authoritative.  Moreover, it should be stressed that, regardless of what actually happened, many people at the time believed Mee's account.
Historical judgments hardly count as "sanitization," except in the minds of the ideologically committed.--Cliodule (talk) 04:09, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Markov partition

message: The idea of a Markov partition is, conceptually, quite simple. Consider an iterated linear map of the unit square into itself. (This can be represented by a 2x2 matrix, with translation of a transformed point back into the unit square – think of co-ordinates computed modulo 1.) In general, such a map will have eigenvectors, which represent two lines that get translated into themselves by the iterated mapping. Shifted back inside the unit square, these lines produce the "Markov partition" – the lines divide the square into regions which "mix" with themselves as the mapping is iterated, but points in one region cannot migrate across the boundary lines defined by the eigenvectors to "mix" with another region.
I found a fairly good description of this phenomenon at this web site.
I'll try to write a more elementary description for the article. A picture could be very helpful here. Unfortunately, I don't have much facility with drawing pictures. Can someone else help?  DavidCBryant 15:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:William Cameron Forbes

message: He seems to have had an active part in building in the Philippines. See this contemporary reference:
THE BAGUIO SKIN, being a VERY SIMPLE yet VERY UNUSUAL EXOTIC from OUR BEAUTIFUL HILL STATION away up in the IGOROTE COUNTRY among the HIGH MOUNTAINS of LUZON
Baguio happens to be the world’s first and only planned hill station, beautifully laid out by Cameron Forbes. Beside it the Topsy-like British India hill stations at Mussoorie, Gulmarg, and Simla—that “jest growed”—are straggling, casual affairs with no organization or scenic plan other than that endowed by an ever-generous Almighty. Baguio is the summer, rainy season retreat of civil and military Manila. We found this drink there, 7000 feet up, sitting before an open fire at the Country Club, looking out through the windows while the cloud slowly came down and tucked the 18th fairway under its wing.
 In a tall-stemmed wineglass put 1 tsp of sugar dissolved in a trifle of water; then 1 dash or so of orange bitters. On top of this place 2 thin slices of green lime—or lemon—3 ice cubes, and then add 2 ponies of Carta de Oro Bacardi. Stir briskly with a bar spoon and serve as-is, with a final dusting of grated nutmeg on top. We consider this one of the finest possible, and find that 1 pair of orange or jasmine blossoms starred in each glass lends the true tropical, the fragrant, touch that guests like.
-“The Gentleman’s Companion”, by Charles Henry Baker (1937 cocktail book)
I have seen other reports that the drink described above was influenced by him. Anyway, more research needed. 87.224.28.50 (talk) 15:15, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Luis de Carvajal y de la Cueva

message: The article currently says, "He threw himself out of a window to escape further torture." But there's a whole book, The Martyr: Luis de Caravajal, a Secret Jew in Sixteenth-Century Mexico, about him that says he was burned at the stake in 1596. It also says he was 30 at the time. The summary on the back of the book definitely identifies him as "Luis de Carvajal the Younger," so if any source is thinking of someone else, I think it's the article. Looking at Luis de Carabajal y Cueva, it looks like there might have been a third Luis in the family, who perhaps threw himself from a window. It looks like the Jewish Encyclopedia is definitely talking about this guy, though. I'm not completely sure what to think. --BDD (talk) 20:18, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Disputed

message: This article contains a number of mostly unreferenced and non-neutral comments, such as "no believable evidence", "without any evidence" etc.  Moreover, previous edits citing the view of reputable historians that Carvajal supported himself and his colleagues by enslaving and selling Indians have been nearly all deleted, or watered down to say only that he was accused of "harming Indians." In other words, the article is a whitewash of what competent authorities believe to be true about Carvajal's activities and character. I plan to reinsert some of the former, referenced material into the article, but it needs a complete re-write to measure up to POV standards.Smallchief (talk  12:20, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I came across somebody observing that there were no good free images of E. purpureum and that images IDed as E. purpureum were really E. fistulosum. Indeed, almost all of the images on Wikimedia commons (Eupatorium purpureum and Eutrochium purpureum) have uniformly purple stems, which is not consistent (FNA key) with E. purpureum, though I think some of the commons have inflorescences consistent with E. maculatum. There's one photo that might be E. purpureum, but it's poorly focused.

He spent his retirement time, collecting?  Or he spent his retirement money on manuscripts?

replies: text: The faceless sketch could depict any one of the queens portrayed in that church. It is contemporary but useless.Regarding Gertrude of Bavaria, this is a modern reproduction of a Renaissance depiction of a medieval woman. We cannot so casually list the woman as having died in 1276 while depicting her in what are obviously 16th century clothes. That looks amateurish and, what's worse, may be very misleading.I am sure Professor Hansen did his best in 1914, but that's still just a skull with a single line representing the nose and the lips.

Talk:Water supply and sanitation in Honduras

message: Some of the data found in IDRC (2006) on Puerto Cortes seem contradictory. The paper says that total water production increased, while other data indicate that it must have decreased. Data indicating increase in water production: daily water production in the same period increased from 14,500 m3 to 35,000 m3 (+142%).
Data indicating decrease in water production: Final water consumption per connection decreased from 53 m3 per month in 1995 to 34 m3 per month in 2004 (+36%). Furthermore, non-revenue water decreased from 40% to 25%, meaning that less water needs to be pumped into the system to supply a given quantity of water to consumers. In the same period water coverage increased from 82% to 98% (+20%), a much smaller increase than the decrease in final water consumption per connection. Even if an population growth is taken into account (+42% over 9 years if the annual growth rate was 4%), it seems that water production should only have increased slightly, but the massive increase in water production seems to be in contradiction with the above data.--Mschiffler (talk) 15:21, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
