replies: text:  I (Holmes) suspect that Typographical Number Theory should be deleted:  it is a specific formal implementation of Peano arithmetic found in Hofstadter's book, and an article on it is redundant.    But while I am a mathematical logician of long standing, I am a Wikipedian of quite short standing and will defer to others on this kind of question. Randall Holmes 22:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I asked Charles Steward for his opinion, see User talk:Chalst#Typographical Number Theory. I'm afraid that the finer points of logic, like the differences between Peano arithmetic and a implementation of Peano arithmetic, are beyond my understanding. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 23:49, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Hi, thanks Jitse.  Why don't we just make it a redirect to Peano arithmetic, and put a brief note about Hofstadter's book somewhere?

replies: text: I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with having a page on Hofstadter's formulation, provided it's accurate and provided it doesn't characterize it as mathematically original. There could be lots of readers who have read GEB and would benefit from having an article that puts Hofstadter's version of PA into context and relates it to more standard treatments. --Trovatore 02:30, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  From Oleg Alexandrov's talk page 

message: Hello. I'm having difficulty with the more challenging translation exercises in Hofstadter's chapter on TNT, particularly 'b is a power of 2' and 'b is a power of 10'. I have been unsuccessful in looking for a reference with the solutions to these puzzles. Perhaps they could be provided here? Bchabala2 (talk) 14:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "b is a power of 2" is equivalent to "b has no prime factors other than 2", or "there is no a such that SSSa is prime and SSSa divides b". I'm sure you could complete the translation into TNT notation from there. "b is a power of 10" is much harder and I haven't solved it yet.... 91.105.3.82 (talk) 00:20, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Um... this all needs to be redone with last names first. 
"Last, First" + "First, Last" for languages like Chinese which natively use the opposite order from English.
Be careful with Spanish names where the "last name" often consists of two words (father's last name followed by mother's last name -- the father's last name is the main one if used alone in English).
:Stub categories are usually not sorted by last name.  Most often a template (with no arguments) is used to mark a page as a stub. 24.196.91.209 05:11, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ionic radius

message: It would nice if you put the Ionic Radius chart in atomic order.
Perhaps a reference for these data could be provided?
Some of the ionic radii are wrong! This table is worthless without reference!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.216.21 (talk) 22:23, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ionic Radius 

message: It makes no sense to list numbers without stating the charge of every ion listed. There is nothing like "ionic radius" of iron, osmium, etc. Who will guess it is Shannon radius calculated for six-coordinate high-spin Fe(3+) and e.g. not for Fe(2+)? The same for most elements. And one should not compare atomic radii obtained with different methods. If one list Shannon radius for iron, one should list Shannon radius for hydrogen(+), and it is negative. See e.g. http://abulafia.mt.ic.ac.uk/shannon/radius.php. Sincerely, Witold, Poland, 87.207.174.157 22:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: "To what is this feature due" is one of the most laughable examples of English hypercorrection I've seen, but you may wish to enlighten yourself with hydride. The main reason is that the single proton of H− cannot adequately control both electrons and hence the ion is rather diffuse, yet "squishy". Double sharp (talk) 07:32, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

*:In fact he didn't even know her call-girl name until Gotanda tells him.
*the Dolphin Hotel has been ... and converted into a slick, fashionable, Western-style hotel

thread_title: Title

message: I went to a reading about the book where the Dutch translator, who translated it from the original Japanese version, claims the English edition was cut extensively (about 50 pages - with Murakami's approval) and that there have been subtle changes that may even reek of censorship. For instance, in the English version when the narrator meets Yuki at the beach she is offered a soda, while in the original Japanese version she is said to be offered many alcoholic cocktails, hinting at an undercurrent of possible seduction of the underage girl. I have no online or offline written source to proves these except for the lecture itself. What's the stance on adding things like this unsourced? --Sciere (talk) 21:24, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi. I'm a mostly-inactive Wikipedian, but I noticed the :Template:Refimprove tag on this article. Hansford Rowe was my first cousin once removed, so I won't edit the article per WP:COI. To my eye, the references in this article seem adequate, but one additional source that might be useful is this profile from the Richmond Times–Dispatch. That, and this piece by his widow, could be used to note that he worked for several years as the "Legendary Santa" at Miller & Rhoads in Richmond (see Miller & Rhoads#Santaland and the "real" Santa Claus).

Talk:Pope Zosimus

message: It seems to me that this excerpt is not particularly NPOV:
"Thus, finally, the occupant of the Apostolic See at the right moment maintained with all authority the traditional dogma of the Church, and protected the truth of the Church against error."
Sounds like this comes from a book of Catholic "propaganda" (it's a direct quote from the old Catholic Encyclopedia article, in fact)
I've not changed it yet myself, but perhaps more experienced wikipedians might get involved? -- sk4p 23 jan 2006

replies: text: I changed the line to read "Thus the occupant of the Apostolic See protected the traditional dogma of the Church."  This seems better to me, so I removed the disclaimer. Niasain 22:31, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I just came across this, and it still feels NPOV to me. I think this sentence would be best left out completely; moreover, I don't think its accurate anyway as St Augustine was the first  Patrician to extensively write on grace. Carl.bunderson 23:04, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

text: It seems very non-NPOV, and such sentences as "The skillfully chosen expressions of Pelagius concealed the heretical contents", "it was proved that the pope had been deceived by the heretics", "Zosimus recognized the true character of the heretics", all unattributed, suggest polemic rather than neutrality. To me this makes the whole page unreliable. Skmacksler (talk) 00:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

text: r.e. NPOV - I agree -
This article is very roman-catholic centric -zosimus is venerated as a saint in the eastern and oriental orthodox churches as well (and probably via history, in the anglican and lutheran churches, etc) , and not mentioned as such here - similarly the use of an unqualified 'pope' title (e.g. do you mean 'patriarch of rome' or 'leader of the entire church') is contentious given the continued great schism and its relation to roman catholic claims of papal supremacy. I'd expect something more like Saint_Peter with church-neutral historical content, and a separate by-church tradition sections for this to be a 'proper' article.

Talk:Candice Bergen

message: I propose to delete the sentences within quote marks from this article as they are sordid and inappropriate to a biography. These lines also have nothing to do with Candice Bergen. A prior home address does not belong in a bio.

Tate and four others were murdered in the house on August 9, 1969, by members of the Manson Family.[41] Some speculated initially that Melcher was the intended victim,[42] but Melcher, Melcher's former roommate Mark Lindsay, and Vincent Bugliosi have all indicated that Manson knew Melcher didn't live there at the time of the murders.[43][44]"

How about "California Speed, also known as Super-Speed, Rush, and who-knows what else..."? Also, this game probably isn't notable. I didn't think about that when I started the article.
