Talk:Quadratic field

message: The equation 
  d\in \mathbb{Q}^*/\mathbb{Q}^2
and the statement 
  That is, we may take d to be a square free integer
don't match up; the equation makes d a non-zero square free rational, that is a rational which is not the square of another rational.
Which one is correct? For example, is \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2/3}) a quadratic field, and is it expressible as \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}) for d a square-free integer?

Basically, I'm pursuing a relationship analoguous to \exp(\pi\sqrt{163}) but in my case, I clearly have a square-root of pi sitting next to an integer.  linas 18:27, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hm. Well, yes, some transcendentals are at least a little bit special. For t=sqrt(pi), one does have the 4=t^4 -t^8/12+t^12/360 - ... so that's a monic polynomial, albeit an infinite one, with rational coefficients, that evaluates to an integer. What is the set of all such polynomials?  What's the properties of this set? How do the properties of this set depend on the transcendental t?  My apologies, I'm thinking aloud, rather than trying to present a coherent train of thought, excuse me if the quesitons just sound weird/wrong. linas 22:25, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Politics of (country)

message: Hi.
I created this page because I noticed that each country tends to have a "Politics of X" article.  I created this page by copying the code from List of countries and using a macro (in MS word) to change the links from Country Name to Country Name, then adding "the"s and removing disambiguities manually.

message: In a reverted change performed yesterday by Arthur Rubin motivating it with:
:"related, I suppose, but there has no evicence presented that the Age of consent is ever 21)"
I would like to point out that in the picture shown in the Age of consent article (Law section) the maximum age shown is "21+". I don't think is a matter of "evidence" but a matter of roughly considering globally 21 years of age as a maximum age for the so called "age of consent". I am not seeing any "violet" (21+) countries or areas but only "purple" (only married) ones. Anyway I am inviting to discuss this change. Thanks.

message: Per WP:PRESERVE, here is the list of retired #21 jersey numbers and racecars that were mentioned in the article:
* The jersey number 21 has been retired by several North American sports teams in honor of past playing greats or other key figures:
** In Major League Baseball:
*** The Cleveland Indians, for Hall of Famer Bob Lemon.
*** The Milwaukee Braves, for Hall of Famer Warren Spahn; the number continues to be honored by the team in its current home of Atlanta.
*** The Pittsburgh Pirates, for Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente, following his death in a plane crash while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to victims of an earthquake in Nicaragua.
** In the NBA:
*** The Atlanta Hawks, for Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins.
*** The Boston Celtics, for Hall of Famer Bill Sharman.
*** The Detroit Pistons, for Hall of Famer Dave Bing.
*** The Sacramento Kings, for Vlade Divac.
*** The San Antonio Spurs, for Tim Duncan.
*** The Minnesota Timberwolves have not retired the number, but it has not been issued since Kevin Garnett's retirement in 2016. It had previously gone unissued from Garnett's trade from the team in 2007 to his return in 2015.
** In the NHL:
*** The Chicago Blackhawks, for Hall of Famer Stan Mikita.
*** The Colorado Avalanche, for Peter Forsberg.
*** The Pittsburgh Penguins, for Michel Brière.
** In the NFL:
*** The San Diego Chargers for LaDainian Tomlinson.
* In the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, 21 has long been the number of the car for Wood Brothers Racing.
* In Formula One, 21 is used by Mexican driver, Esteban Gutiérrez.

Talk:List of North American birds: passerines

message: As currently constituted, the List of North American birds is not really a list of North American birds at all, but is more properly a list of the birds of the continental United States and Canada.  As ecognized by geographers, the North American continent also includes Central America from Mexico through Panama, plus the Caribbean Islands.  A comprehensive list of the birds of North America is readily available in the AOU’s Check-list of North American birds; one only has to delete those species recorded only in the Hawaiian Islands.  Instead, the current list is arbitrarily confined to that portion of North America covered by the ABA Checklist (i.e., the continental United States and Canada), thereby creating an incomplete and anglo-centric view of the continents birdlife.  The reasons given for doing so--(1) a comprehensive list would be too long, and (2) most North American bird field guides restrict themselves to the U.S. and Canada--ring hollow.  I see two possible solutions: (1) use the AOU
Check-list of North American birds to create a truly comprehensive List of the birds of North America, or (2) rename this list the List of birds of the continental United States and Canada.  John Trapp 14:13, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The people who have actually written the species accounts for this article (notably Big iron are happy with the title as defined, and the availability of dependable (ie printed) sources is important. Of course, if you are intending to write species accounts for those Mexican and central America species which are not on the ABA list, that might be a different matter.

Talk:Short Sunderland

message: It says in several places in the article that the Sunderland carried "16 guns", yet nowhere does it list more than 14 of them. It lists 4 fixed in the nose (mot mentioning that most Sunderlands didn't have this, meaning 12 guns was more typical), 2 in nose turret (often 1), two in dorsal turret (when fitted), and four in the tail. It also mentions replacing two beam guns with .50s, so we can take beam guns as implied as well. That equals 14 guns at the most. Wouldnt one expect the average reader to be curious where they managed to fit 2 more .303s? Anyway, I know everyone loves to talk about the myth about how the Sudnerland was called "the Flying Purcupine" because of all its bristling armament, and love to quote the 16 gun figure as proof of its awesome defensive firepower, but until later in the war it wasn't that heavily armed. No fixed guns, a single nose turret gun, sometimes no dorsal turret (I hear that wasnt added until later). Even if you assume the unspecified pair of mystery guns was actually there at this period (which seems unlikely, more likely they were added on in an attempt to protect the lumbering beast), that comes to 9 .303s, assuming beam guns are fitted as well. Without the additional guns (IIRC the two firing from behind the wing roots were in additional to more conventional beam guns, for a total of 4 per side, but I dont swear on it.) Without the extra pair of guns, that is 7 MGs total, not something to inspire fear in then hearts of Luftwaffe pilots. Personally I think the theory that the Sunderland got its nickname from the numerous "stickleback" ASV radar antennae sticking out from the top and sides of the rear fuselage makes a lot more sense, especially when coupled with the roly poly looks and slow speed. I think some author, during or after the war, heard the nickname and came up with the wrong explanation, and everyone has repeated it for fact since then. Or it was deliberate wartime propaganda to improve the morale of the Sunderland crewmen. No one will ever know for sure unless they can find the exact luftwaffe membe who coined the phrase.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.212.140 (talk) 08:26, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
