Talk:North Atlantic Current

message: Someone please find or make a new map and replace at hogwarts hufflefuff won the one currently used in this article.  In the first place, the article is solely about the North Atlantic Current whereas the map is of all ocean currents.  In the second and more important place, even when the map is enlarged, it is impossible to read and make sense of it - it just can't be made big enough.

thread_title: New Map Needed

message: I've cut the following dispute:
:Climate change, especially global warming, has been claimed to have a significant effect on the current. A 2005 Nature study in December of 2005 found that the North Atlantic Current “has slowed by about 30 per cent between 1957 and 2004,”, a finding that was met with some skepticism at the time which later proved justified .
If it needs to be in the article, then rewrite for clarity and provide rationale for it's significance - or is it just a refuted claim. Vsmith (talk) 12:14, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Why not add a similar link re: Nobel Prize winners?
[2004.12.29 - JPiper]
Now I know relatively little about the politics of Canada, but surely being leader of the Liberal party for 12 years and prime minister for 5 isn't enough for the Nobel Committee.  Any hints for the casual reader about Mr. Pearson's merits? --MichaelTinkler

thread_title:  Nobel Link 

message: Yes, according to his Nobel biography, "From 1935 to 1941 he served in the office of the High Commissioner for Canada in London; in May, 1941, he was appointed assistant undersecretary of state for External Affairs at Ottawa; in June, 1942, named minister-counselor at the Canadian Legation in Washington; in July, 1944, promoted to the rank of minister plenipotentiary and in January, 1945, to the rank of ambassador." This does not mean he could not also be a courier. According to William Stevenson, "A future prime minister of Canada and secretary-general of the United Nations, Lester B. Pearson, was a humble diplomat when [William] Stephenson asked him to become 'a King's messenger,' conveying secret documents. Orders had to be conveyed between London, [British Security Coordination] in New York, and Camp X [in Canada]. Pearson had spent the hard winter of 1940 in London. Then he was asked to carry top-secret material across the Atlantic." In fact, I believe Pearson writes at length on the subject in his own autobiography, Mike. I really should have mentioned all this earlier. - Calmypal (T) 17:48, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
:As I explained the second time I removed your edit, my objection was the text said that Pearson was a courier, without putting this in context.  Pearson was not a courier.  He was a diplomat.  Your sources show that he transported some important documents one time.  This makes him a diplomat that transported some documents, not a courier.

Talk:Cramer–Shoup cryptosystem

message: The following is incorrect.  Elgamal is also a probabilistic cryptosystem.  The advantage of Cramer-Shoup is the verification stage in the decryption algorithm:
:In contrast to ElGamal, which is extremely malleable, Cramer-Shoup introduces a random element into the encryption process, such that a given plaintext will produce different ciphertexts on subsequent runs of the system. The consequence is that, unlike ElGamal and RSA (without padding), Cramer-Shoup is not susceptible to chosen ciphertext attack.

Talk:Valdés Peninsula

message: Should probably be Valdés Peninsula see :Category:Peninsulas. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tobias Conradi (talk • contribs) 14:54, 30 July 2005
: The article appears to be incorrectly titled. For one, although we keep the foreign spelling of the name part of place-names, we use the English word for the geographical feature, e.g. we have Somme River, not Rivière Somme. Also, we're supposed to use the most common form of the name in English (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English) for the policy on this). A Yahoo search shows that for web pages in English shows that the English spelling of "Peninsula" is far more common:
:* about 5,380 for "Península Valdés"
:* about 5,740 for "Península Valdes"
:* about 7,090 for "Peninsula Valdés"
:* about 41,600 for "Peninsula Valdes"
:* about 41 for "Valdés Península"
:* about 43 for "Valdes Península"
:* about 2,630 for "Valdés Peninsula"
:* about 34,600 for "Valdes Peninsula"
: So, it looks like it should be moved to either Peninsula Valdes or Valdes Peninsula. Given that the difference between the two is pretty small, I'm going to go with Valdes Peninsula, out of consistency with all the other "[Foo] Peninsula" articles on Wikipedia.

Talk:Min-max theorem

message: What happens if a positive eigenvalue occurs with multiplicity 2? Also, the statement as it stands precludes the possibility that there is no minimal strictly positive eigenvalue. I'm changing it accordingly... Lupin 15:49, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: [Untitled]

message: For infinitely dimensional spaces, there might well be only a finite 
number of positive eigenvalues or no eigenvalues at all, contrary to
what is stated in the demonstration in the section devoted to compact
operators. In this case, there is of course an infinite number of 
negative eigenvalues. The demonstration should be modified accordingly. 
For example when the number of positive eigenvalues is a finite n 
and S_k has  k>n, then it seems to me that
  \max_{S_k} \min_{x\in S_k,\|x\|=1}(Ax,x) = 0.
Similar considerations should apply also for negative eigenvalues.

thread_title:  compact operators 

message: I have found many other sources, which change the place of min and max in the equations, so It seems incorrect here.14.139.38.11 (talk) 05:10, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  min max principle for singular values 

message: In the article it is written: "But A is compact, therefore the function f(x) = (Ax, x) is weakly continuous.". I don't see how this follows. I can easily prove that f(x) is weakly sequentially continuous by using that a compact operator maps weakly convergent sequences into norm convergent sequences. However, it is well known that this is not true for nets. As far as I know, however, there is no guarantee that a functional attains its minimum if it is only sequentially (lower semi-)continuous. Maybe there is some theorem behind here that I don't know. If so, could someone please give a reference? I think it should be cited in the article then.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.246.2.201 (talk) 00:34, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  compact operators, question concerning the proof 

message: it seems to me the proof only argues for Inf-sup rather than Min-max (OK, the Min is quite obvious).
I'd say the fact that the min is achieved is through the specific subspace span(u1,…uk) and the sup is achieved because R_A is continuous and we can restrict it to a compact (the closed unit ball).
Doesn't that need to be mentionned?

Talk:Northeast Ohio

message: How is this a distinct article from either Greater Cleveland or Connecticut Western Reserve?  The former is a well-defined region (i.e. the Cleveland-Akron-Lorain CMSA as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) that encompasses much of what might be considered Northeast Ohio.  The latter is also a well-defined region (per township surveys) that likewise encompasses much of what might be considered Northeast Ohio.  While it's true that the two are not co-extensive (Canton is Greater Cleveland but not Western Reserve; Youngstown is Western Reserve but not Greater Cleveland), there's very little in Northeast Ohio that would not be in one or the other. -- SwissCelt 16:35, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

message: This is one of the worst sentences I have ever found on Wikipedia! 
:Meek describes the building, which the congregation itself describes as impressively combining Gothic Revival and Moorish Revival architecture, as "eclectic." but he continues, "Does no eclectic design survive that is neither bizarre nor eccentric, but gathers its elements from disparate sources and blends them into a harmonious unity? Yes, of course, there are many; but let one stand for them all. He who has not seen the interior of Princes Road synagogue in Liverpool has not beheld the glory of Israel." [2] 
*"Meek describes the building, which the congregation itself describes......."      .....aaaargh!  
*.......so which description do we get first?  .......  "as impressively combining Gothic Revival and Moorish Revival architecture, as "eclectic.""     First the congregation's description, then Meeks.
* followed by a fullstop.   The sentence is finished. But......
*......"but he continues" Meek that is, and "but" with a lower case "b". 
* but he continues into a really ghastly quote that would be better summarised, and clipped down to the last, meaningful sentence!  
How could such a dreadful bit of expression have remained in the article for about four years?
OK 
*The congregation's description cannot be bookended by Meek and his description. They are two separate descriptions. 
* They are not different.  What does "eclectic" mean?  It means "combining several styles".  Soooo, the congregation's description is compatible with Meek's description.   
* However, the unsourced description that is credited to "the congregation" (whoever they may be) is wrong.  The building doesn't combine "Gothic Revival" and "Moorish Revival".  The European style that is in evidence here is very much Romanesque, not Gothic.  Don't be fooled by the fact that some of the arches are pointed.  This is only one indicator of Gothic.  The Romanesque Monreale Cathedral in Sicily, and the nave of Autun Cathedral  in France have pointed arches.  The pointed arches are "Moorish" is style.
