message: This edit removed the following from the article just as I was about to move it here for discussion:
I'm OK with a simple removal, but my thoughts were: (1) the above was unsupported (and, by guidelines, unsupportable here); {2} however, it seems to add useful information; (3) perhaps it could be worked into a content article (e.g., Blog), supported there, and wikilinked from here; (4) the wikilink to the WP project page didn't belong in there.

Talk:Neo Aramaic speaking people

message: The bulk of this article was ripped out of a section I wrote for . I disagree with its removal here. The opening section that has been added to it has obviously been written by someone who does not understand the issue at all: Syriac is only used to refer to Christian dialects, and is not used by Melkites. — Gareth Hughes 12:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course this article is just a bigginer that needs a introduction and a base and a final conclusion. From the Syriac page: Syriac (ܣܘܪܝܝܐ Suryāyā) or Syro-Aramaic is a dialect of Aramaic.
Do Kurdish Jews not speak a dialect of Aramaic? Why can we inculde Western and Eastern dialects, as one group, but not the dialect of Kurdish Jews? And yes, Milkites originally spoke neo-aramaic, but the this has changed througout time, but there is still a small population of Milkites that speak a dialect of Aramiac, just like Maronites. Again, this page needs work, and possibly a rename of the page, if you strongly disagree with it. How about Neo-Aramaic speaking people? Chaldean 02:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialects once spoken throughout the Kuristan region are as diverse as the Christian dialects. Some Melkites from Ma`loula speak Western Neo-Aramaic, but they are very much the exception rather than the rule: the Melkite tradition was always more dominated by Greek (and later Arabic). However, it is interesting that Arabic-speaking Rūm Orthodox/Catholic groups, even though they write قديس (qiddīs) for saint, they always say مار (mār), the Aramaic. However, I think it is going too far to describe Melkites as either Syriac-speaking or Neo-Aramaic-speaking. — Gareth Hughes 17:03, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Hi Don't know how this works, just wanted to suggest fixing the title line
Currently
Ebstein anomaly is a congenital heart defect in which the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve is displaced towards the apex of the right ventricle of the heart.
But it involves at least two leaflets
Ebstein anomaly is a congenital malformation of the heart that is characterized by apical displacement of the septal and posterior tricuspid valve leaflets, leading to atrialization of the right ventricle with a variable degree of malformation and displacement of the anterior leaflet.

Talk:Albert Henry (politician)

message: I would just like to make the point about Albert Henry's Knighthood. In it's current state the article claims that he was knighted by the Queen in 1974 "For his achievements". This is technically correct however I would like to add to this discussion some extra information that puts this into context. In 1974 the Cook Islands was officially visited by its head of state, Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. While visiting, she presided over the opening of Rarotonga International Airport. This is mentioned in the article but the article fails to mention is that the airport had been completed 18 months previously. In these 18 months the opening was postponed  until the Queens visit by Albert Henry because (as Henry knew) royal protocol dictated that should the Queen open the airport The serving premier would receive a Knighthood. Although I cannot state it as fact it is my personal belief that the deciding factor in Henry receiving a Knighthood was not his actions as Premier but simply a dated royal protocol that he knowingly took advantage of.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.178.90 (talk) 12:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Tia Maria

message: I am not sure this article is correct in mentioning cream because you can see through Tia Maria (unless the same name is used for a different drink in other countries).
I recently (April 2006) noticed that (in the UK at least) the alcohol content has been dropped from 26.5% to 20% and the taste has become less syrupy.  I tried samples from old and new bottles side by side.  Presumably this cut production costs by reducing the duty on the alcohol content.  I question whether this drop in cost was matched by a drop in retail price. Man with two legs 12:35, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I removed the followingL:
:According to legend, the history of Tia Maria started in the 17th century, in the days when colonial wars brought chaos to the Caribbean. During this period, a young woman, owner of a Jamaican plantation, was forced to flee with her chambermaid. In the chaos, her chambermaid just had the time to take her mistress's most treasured possessions, including a pair of black pearl earrings and an old manuscript containing the secret recipe for the family liqueur. In gratitude and in memory of her faithful "Aunt" Maria, the young noblewoman named this dark liqueur "Tia Maria".

Talk:Politics of Saint Kitts and Nevis

message: The article originally said
" St. Kitts and Nevis has a bicameral legislature: an 11-member Senate appointed by the governor general (mainly on the advice of the prime minister and the leader of the opposition); and an 11-member popularly elected House of Representatives which has eight St. Kitts seats and three Nevis seats. "
This appears to have come from the US Department of State website , which would normally be an excellent source.
However, an online copy of the constitution at Georgetown University , and an online newspaper  based on the islands describes a single-assembly legislature where 11 elected members sit with a smaller number of appointed ones.  On balance I think these are stronger sources, and so I have consequently updated the article accordingly. Jll 12:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Is this just the median, as in the point with minimal total distance to the rest of the points? -- Nils Grimsmo 13:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On multidimensional / vector points, the median is not consistently defined (see below for one specific definition), but one common meaning of median is "the point that is constructed by taking the median of each definition". By that definition, the medoid is definitely not the same thing.
It seems to be the synonym of a geometric median. Semifinalist (talk) 14:54, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

text: It isn't the same as a geometric median; a medoid must be an actual point from the dataset, where a geometric median does not necessarily have to be one of the original points. SeparateWays (talk) 21:52, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Specific distance function in Algorithms section? 

message: This edit states that the median is determined by seeking to minimize the distance according to the Taxicab geometry, but the article on Median states: "A median is only defined on ordered one-dimensional data, and is independent of any distance metric."  Since in one dimension the Manhattan distance and Euclidean distance are equivalent, and since the geometric median generalizes the concept using the Euclidean distance, I propose we use that as the example (but note that it's actually independent of distance metric.)  This is all original research on my part however, using definitions from within our own articles primarily, and the original statements were never sourced either, so I wanted to ask here before  making changes.  Wclark (talk) 04:44, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I've received some clarification on the claims in these edits and believe this article would be best served by editing the statement about distance metrics to clarify that it's not just the aggregate distance under the Manhattan distance / Taxicab geometry that's minimized, but any strictly additive metric in a single dimension (all of which are equivalent, up to scaling.)  This is not the case for other strictly subadditive metrics, which may also be worth mentioning.  For instance, the mode is the member of a set that minimizes the aggregate distance to all other members of the set, under the zero-one loss function (taken as a distance/dissimilarity metric.)  I'm awaiting some feedback on other related articles (so that I can try to harmonize this point across all of them) and would appreciate any here, if anybody is so inclined.  Thanks!
