Talk:Hummel (instrument)

message: Grove says this was sometimes bowed. Badagnani (talk) 20:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Bowed

message: I just read the article, and although there's a prominent notice about the need to edit into standard English, that appears to have been done. Please remove the notice, if that's appropriate.
I did one edit that seems to have been needed because of the too-common error of reading/typing "of" for "or" (and the converse).
(This error seems to occur because of teaching our written language as logographic instead of phonetic, which impairs accuracy in recognition.)
I was tempted to change "accompaniment", referring to strings, into "drone", but the description implying their easy access made me decide to leave the text as is.

thread_title: Women as qadis

message: Legal theory has for a long time used as a term of art the phrase 'kadi justice' to refer to informal decision-making by someone acting in a judicial role without reference to any legal principles, but just to his own intuition.  This usage is now becomeing less common as a result of concerns that it improperly denigrates an alternative justice system which was not in fact merely intuitive, but many people will still need to know what 'kadi justice' does mean in legal theory, especially in works they will encounter written prior to 1980.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.198.164.12 (talk) 01:08, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This article has seen a flurry of edits over the past week. Unfortunately, there are some problems with these edits:
* The lead now talks about Qadis as if they were only a historical phenomenon that no longer exist.
* Many of the references are lacking sufficient information for verification. For example "G.M Azad, “Islamic Studies”, p. 250". Islamic Studies is a journal. Where is the title of the article, the date of publication, etc.?
* There are numerous spelling and grammar errors that need to be fixed.

The office originated under the rule of the first Umayyad Caliphate (AH 40–85/661–705 CE), when the provincial governors of the newly created Islamic empire, unable to adjudicate the many disputes that arose among Muslims living within their territories, began to delegate this function to others."

Talk:Smoking cessation programs in Canada

message: Erm, this is a Government of Ontario initiative, so "Canadian Anti-Smoking Campaign" seems a trifle too general. --Saforrest 04:43, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The new title on this article is not appropriate.  The content refers to a provincial campaign, and calling it "Canadian" implies a national character.  Using title case suggests that this is an official name of the campaign, which it is not.  In the context of the page content, the title also implies that stupid.ca is the only anti-smoking campaign in Canada.  Given these problems, I think we have three options with this page:
*Move to something more specific, such as the title of the stupid.ca campaign as used by the provincial government.  I'm having a hard time tracking down this name:  This press release would seem to indicate that the original title of this page wasn't so bad after all.
*Move to something more general, such as "Anti-smoking campaigns in Canada" (or Ontario), and flesh out the page accordingly - recognizing that the present content of the article would be a very small part of the content over the long run.
*Delete it, which was unsuccessfully attempted before.  Personally, I don't think that the stupid.ca program deserves a Wikipedia entry.  The fact that this article remains in stub status - with only three small edits since April - would seem to suggest that it cannot be given serious treatment by Wikipedia.

message: Anyone care to cite the source for this? I haven't found any resource that directly states this as true.

thread_title:  "The largest purchasing demographic of the song was middle aged men." 

message: The article currently suggests that the French language version first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. But there's a CD single of the song released in France in the GameCube era. Though I can't tell if the version it contains is a French or Japanese version, at least that went as far as being released on CD that far from Japan should be notable enough for inclusion.
The French version has also been said to appear on the first Pikmin original soundtrack album, released  in 2002, long before Brawl. Probably some further investigation warranted before committing any of this to the article.

message: This seems to be the prevailing haughty wisdom on Wikipedia, but Groves (psaltery, section 3. Baroque, classical, and modern by Beryl Kenyon de Pascual) mentions a large body of baroque and classical works for "psaltery with bowed strings." Wiki also neglects to cite any sources for the claim other than discussing the 20th century patent for such things on Bowed Psaltery; keep in mind the patent system is a mess and rarely indicates innovation outside of pharmacology.

message: I would like the Infomation on this page to be kept accurate. 
I know this is going to be difficult though as the history of the Munro clan and other clans is often told differently by different people and sources.

Added by another reader: 
:"Tracing the Munro family before the early 1300's has not been possible, regardless of the desire of many writers to push this history back beyond all recorded time. The name Munro appears in no known contemporary documentation before a charter dated between 1333 and 1350 by William, Earl of Ross, granting a davach land to Robert de Munroo of Westerlogy. There are references to a couple of unverified earlier documents, one from the late 1200's and the other from 1307 that mention the name Munro, or variations on the name." 24.61.87.154 19:35, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Blum integer

message: It is imperative to add the remark "and coprime to n" in the section on the properties. The article on quadratic residues currently reads:For this reason some authors (e.g., Ireland & Rosen 1990, p. 50) add to the definition that a quadratic residue a must not only be a square but must also be relatively prime to the modulus n. (a is coprime to n if and only if a2 is coprime to n.)
Although it makes things tidier, this article does not insist that residues must be coprime to the modulus.
However, if this more general definition of quadratic residues is taken (ie. dropping the coprime requirement), then the statements in the properties section no longer hold. In particular: Consider the Blum number n=33. In the more general definition without coprimality, 9 is a quadratic residue but it only has two roots 3 and 30.
The history doesn't reference the original material to suggest when Blum integers should be used in RSA, then the paper to show that it no longer matters.  It only links to the seives that can supposedly factor Blum integers.  The seives mentioned came out a few years after RSA (RSA is 1977, the MPQS is 1981).  That gives only 4 years for the statement in the history section to be true based on the evidence provided.
