Remember, Germany still has many regional slangs, for example, in the region of the Mercedes auto plants, they speak "Schwebisch", which is a regional language that is still widely spoken nowadays (my ex-brother-in law came from that region and speaks Schwebisch). 67.71.40.230 (talk) 18:51, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

message: The following part of the article is not written in an encyclopedic tone and probably should be removed:
"That statement that John Lennon doesn't play on the recordings with Sheridan is not proven. It is not possible that he did not play on the Beatles first record. The reason is that John Lennon was the leader of the group and had an angry mind. He was also envious and jealous. If he wasn't allowed to play on his own group's first record he would surely had left the recording session in anger."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimindc (talk • contribs) 17:48, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi, unless that name is also used in some official English-language rulebook, I would like to suggest that the term "Override Button" or "Override Order Button" is used instead. While "Befehl" is German for "command", it is also the word for an order given (think military orders), and the function of that button is that of an override, which the operator is only to push after having received an order to do so by the signalman. -- 109.193.81.164 (talk) 22:01, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

I cleaned up the article so it would be easier to understand.

Talk:Functor

message: I'm having trouble with the paragraph beginning "There is a convention which refers to "vectors"...
I think it's easily shown to be wrong with a scalar example. Suppose the change of basis is x'=\lambda x. Then the dual transformation is \omega'=\lambda^{-1}\omega. And in higher dimensions, a change of basis \mathbf x' = \boldsymbol\Lambda \mathbf x induces the dual transformation \boldsymbol\omega'=\boldsymbol\omega\boldsymbol\Lambda^{-1}. (Note: this verifies the invariance of the contraction \boldsymbol\omega'\mathbf x'=\boldsymbol\omega\mathbf x under a change of basis) This correction can remediate the third sentence of the paragraph, as well.
The fourth/final sentence is correct, although the terminological confusion might be explained by the fact that, while the pull-back of the cobasis (\mathbf{e}^j) transforms contravariantly, the components of a covector (with respect to its cobasis) transform covariantly, and vice versa for the basis and components of a vector.--ScriboErgoSum (talk) 08:17, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Shouldn’t the introductory paragraph be the summary? The first section should be a history, and there should be an entry specifically on the 5th edition giving the statistics.
