Talk:Raquel Olmedo

message: The tone of this biography is not neutral and encyclopedic, see also WP:NPOV. Studerby 00:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Tone

message: I think the statement In the wake of the 1959 Cuban revolution, when millions of people fled Cuba is significantly exaggerated. The best estimate I've seen is that roughly 8% of Cuba's population fled between 1959 and 1980, which would be something a bit under 1 million total by 1980 (Cuba has a population of about 11.3 million now, as of 2007). That's consistent with the rough estimate of "more than a million" expatriates as of 2006. The phrasing "in the wake of the 1959..." also implies that all those people left shortly after the revolution, when the best estimates I've seen put the numbers in the range of a quarter million in the first few years. Perhaps the phrasing, In the mass exodus following the 1959 Cuban revolution would be better, or a specific citation may be needed. Studerby 00:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Van Wijngaarden transformation

message: I did a little digging around, and found this reference to the van Wijngaarden transform (defined on page 4 of the .pdf file). The transformation described in that paper is not applied to an alternating series, but is used to transform a monotone series into an alternating series. And the transformation formulae in that paper do not correspond with the formula presented in this article. So I'm a little bit confused.
Is the transformation defined in this article also described as a "van Wijngaarden transform" in the literature? Did van Wijngaarden invent several different series transformation formulas, any one of which may be called a "van Wijngaarden transform"? This article may need some help!

Talk:David Pinsent

message: The page describes Pinsent as a "lover" of Wittgenstein. So far as I can tell it's (at best) highly doubtful that this is a correct description. It certainly appears that Wittgenstein was in love with Pinsent, but is there any evidence that Pinsent saw Wittgenstein as more than a close friend or that they engaged in any sort of physical intimacy? It seems to me that at least one of those should have been true for "lover" not to be a misleading term. There may well be such evidence; my knowledge is confined to what I've read in Monk's biography. (And of course the thing might be true without having left evidence, for one reason or another, but to justify a statement here there'd better be actual evidence.)

Talk:History of the Scottish Episcopal Church

message: The "Origins" part deals with events at least half a millenium before the distinct origins of what would become the Scottish Episcopal Church. These events are common to the origins of the other major churches in Scotland - including the Roman Catholic, Church of Scotland, its offshoots etc. - and many of the minor ones. To apparently claim this history for the Scottish Episcopal Church alone, without either justification of this or at least to mention the commonality with other churches makes its inclusion inaccurate, probably redundant here (though the Christianity part of Religion in Scotland could benefit), maybe even disingenuous.

Maybe the area was used during construction of the surrounding areas, but platform added 1869 is stated on the ref.
Plus the station was built later still, not just a platform. And the current station built later still.
Example, Penrith wasn't built until 1863 and the river wasn't crossed, little zig zag not built, why is this earlier.
And the discussion in parliament was still in session July 1862

message: Hmm, I'm a bit worried about these figures here. Is it really so wise to quote so many sig figs? You have to bear in mind that these stats are affected not just by statistical errors (in the given +/-), but also by assumptional problems. For instance, being binary stars, there could be severe inaccuracies arising here. The use of four sig figs seems very misleading here, because we certainly do not know the mass and volume of these planets to four sig figs. Also, note that many wikipedia pages referring to this planet quote different values.
