thread_title:  Bay Cities Building mis-attributed 

message: I can find no support for the statement that "1886.....Juan José Carrillo elected as the first mayor"
Ingersoll's Century History, Santa Monica Bay Cities By Luther A. Ingersoll
Ingersoll page 169
"In November, 1886, another important step in the advancement of Santa 
Monica occurred. This was the incorporation of the town ; the election to 
decide the question being held November 30th and resulting in a vote of 97 for 
incorporation and 71 against. The first board of trustees chosen for the town was made up of John Steere, chairman: Dr. E. C. Folsom, A. E. Ladd, W. S. Yawter and j. W. Scott. Fred C. McKinnie was the first town clerk; H. C. Baggs, Jr., was elected marshal and E. K. Chapin treasurer. Baggs failing to qualify, Michael Noon was appointed in his place."
Ingersoll page 174
"In April (1988), after a rather lively contest, three new trustees were elected, 
Thomas A. Lewis, Thomas Rhodes and J. J. Carrillo, the latter of whom served 
as trustee continuously until 1900 — twelve years."
Ingersoll page 182
"In 1888 he (Carrillo) was elected as city trustee and for twelve years thereafter he was re-elected regularly, thus serving the city longer than any other trustee ever chosen. During this time he was for seven years, from 1890 to 1897, president of the board and thus acting mayor of the city."

Talk:Ibrahim al-Jaafari

message: From the lead: "Some members of his own group, the United Iraqi Alliance, conspired with some of the Kurdish personalities and some of the sectarian Sunni politicians and in turn these groups involved the US President George W. Bush and the British Prime Minister Tony Blair to convince al-Jafari to withdraw his nomination. Al-Jafari refused any foreign interference in the Iraqi politics and instead gave the United Iraqi Alliance the choice to decide whom they wanted, be it him or another political figure as Prime Minister." I'm no expert on the subject, but to me this sounds definitely biased towards al-Jafari. I'm not sure whether the rest of the article is also biased. 130.64.98.51 (talk) 07:19, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mathematical typo? 

message: The method of Frobenius applies to a greater range of differential equations than the equation at the top of the page would indicate (the coefficient of y" doesn't have to be z^2).  The third equation defines the boundary (in a sense) between regular and irregular points at z=0, but anything with lesser powers of z in the denominator of y' and y in standard form can also be solved by this method.  And in theory you aren't restricted to polynomials.  The general formula should have three functions of z as coefficients of y", y' and y.  Then redefine P(z) and Q(z) in terms of those functions after dividing through by the coefficient of y".  See for example Zil section 6.3.
Regarding Tim Bird's comment, the p(0) and q(0) in the indicial polynomial refer to the first term in the power series expansion of zP(z) and z^2Q(z). Zill, Dennis G., A First Course in Differential Equations, 10th edition, Brooks/Cole 2013    DaustBerener (talk) 00:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

And it does not say much about why his death was controversial. My recollection (mostly family gossip) at the time was that he collapsed and died after visiting the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his wife believed he had been poisoned in a cup of tea after getting too close to exposing corruption. Consequently she took hair from his corpse and sent them to the USA & the UK for analysis which suggested that this was so, but subsequently his body was exhumed and tested (obviously in Pakistan).

thread_title:  Correction suggestion  

message: This article reads like a theologian's essay quoting the Bible directly, when an encyclopedia article should instead describe their descriptions and cite their interpretations.  Translations also vary a lot in their descriptions and it's often notoriously difficult to really know what real-world items some verses were referring to.  The article also lacks a section about the historicity, that it's most likely mythological, that it's unnecessary to try to really find out what manna really must have been (i.e. an insect product, mushroom, dew and other speculation)...  This doesn't mean that the most notable speculation cannot be included, in their context with secondary sources.  —PaleoNeonate – 06:54, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
