Talk:Lambda function

message: "The Lambda Function is an Artificial Function, it has little use in the natural world, however it proves interesting to study, as the curve of this function approaches a right-angle as x→∞"

message: using wikipedia, it seems to me that Landser is a colloquial term for Landsknecht, or land, servant
going along with their politcal beliefs, most notably nationalism - I would assume the actual meaning behind the name is "servant of our land" or something like that
maybe someone with more authority could research it and figure it out for certain, but it seems to name their band after a low-ranking foot soldier wouldn't have as much meaning to them as the folk term "land servant"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.116.132.101 (talk) 20:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Caprellidira

message: I don't think this article can be kept as it is at all. 'Skeleton shrimps' refer to only those shrimps which actually do have the stick insect body form referred to in the article's first paragraph. The infraorder is actually considerably more morphologically diverse than that. The term 'skeleton shrimp' should more properly be confined to the family Caprellidae. I can change it, of course but perhaps one of the wiki arthropod specialists would be better at it?

Wikipedia talk:Citing sources/Archive 4

message: I haven't been following discussion, my apologies, but I posted some random musings about citing sources on the mailing list and got a couple of flatteringly positive responses. Steven L. Rubenstein called it... well, I don't want to blush... and said "I think incorporating into the policy at least some of what he wrote would be an important improvement." Since what I wrote was long and might be a bit tangential, and I'm don't want to spend time right now figuring out how it bears on our policy, I've put it up on my user page here.

message: It is a common practice to abbreviate journal titles in references.  Although these abbreviations are clear to people familiar with the field, they are often hard to decypher for general readers.  For example, Math. Scand. means Mathematica Scandinavica.

thread_title:  Abbreviating journal titles 

message: Is there a proper method for citing something that is cited in another work?  For example, I have a source that says Charlie Gillett has said (the first rock and roll record) was Bill Haley's "Crazy Man" in 1963.  Nick Tosches has argued for "Sixty Minute Man", which was recorded by the Dominoes in 1951.  (there are citations for Gillett and Tosches).  Tuf-Kat 19:08, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
:In academic journals and books I have seen two different practices: 
:* one is simply to lift the quote and provide its original citation. 
:* The other is to say "blah blah blah," quoted by x (x 2005: 87).  
:I think people favor the first approach when the original source is easily available.  Sometimes, though, this source is from an out of print book or a magazine or journal so minor that most university libraries don't have it -- in that case, people favor the second approach.  Another consideration is the context in which you are using the original quote.  If you are doing it in the context of a discussion of the secondary source, you should follow the second approach.

Talk:Darlington, New South Wales

message: This article contains factual errors.
The "landmarks" paragraph is erroneous. The Eveleigh Railway Yards are located in the adjoining suburb of Eveleigh. The area known as "The Block" is in Redfern.
The suburb is bounded to the east not by the railway, but by Abercrombie Street. (refer Sydway 2005).
Australian plural of bus is "buses", not "busses". (unsigned comment by User:Neil lefevre)
:Your supposition is inaccurate as is Sydway.  The Block is an integral part of Darlington, the Railway Yards abutt Darlington, and are disconnected from the rest of Eveleigh (the "Technology Park"), such that the Railway yards can only be accessed from any other point in Eveleigh by transiting through Darlington.  Sydway doesn't reflect lived experience, and a map maker, or a government department, doesn't determine the extent of a living suburb.  In future, you might consider signing your comments.

Talk:Timeline of Singaporean history

message: Hey people! After having done Current events in Malaysia and Singapore, and doing up the related pages for annual news, I noted the possibility of adopting the example in Timeline of Irish history, and break this page up into years. I have already done this for the last 6 years, as can be seen in :Category:Years in Singapore. This, however, means lots of clicking for those who just want a quick historical overview. What do you folks think? How about we continue to do up the annual historical pages, but also maintain a relatively brief timeline in this page, moving less major details to the annual pages (and day to day events, of coz, shall be kept in the monthly pages)?
Awaiting the inputs from the rest of you. ;)--Huaiwei 13:12, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Haynes Manual

message: The article is way better now than it was yesterday.  I'm not sure about the point of listing every car for which a manual is available though.  Would it suffice to say (and be more maintainable) that many of the more common cars are covered?  Friday 13:17, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for your input.  I guess I'd been assuming people wanting to know if their car is covered would use the Haynes website, maybe using a page like this .  If we're just cutting and pasting from a website, I don't see the value.  But then again I suppose I don't see the harm either.  BTW I completely agree that in some topic areas, the number/length of articles is completely out of control.  In this case, between the 40+ makes, the sometimes large number of models per make, and the number of years, I thought it was too much.
