Talk:Word (group theory)

message: Dumb question: The first sentence is ```In group theory, a word is any written product of group elements and their inverses.```  Don't a group's elements always include all inverses? Acorn (Nathan) (talk) 15:47, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is not explicit on this, but a word is some particular kind of formal expression (called term in logic and theoretical computer science; I guess group words were investigated before the introduction of computers and formal languages, and hence use a different terminology). As a more familiar analogy, a polynomial is something similar, and while both x3+1 and x5+1 may evaluate to any real number (if x is substituted appropriately), they are quite different as polynomials. Group words are used in Presentation of a group, and the section Examples there includes words with negative exponents. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 17:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Army groups of the National Revolutionary Army

message: After reviewing translation terms, 集團軍 is normally translated as 'Group Army', while the term for Army Group would be 军团 or 軍團, so it would be important to specify the differences here. Aldis90 (talk) 19:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, can you provide evidence that "集團軍 is normally translated as 'Group Army'"? As I have said on your talk page, official publication by the ROC or ROCA use "Army Group". I think it's safe to assume that books published in the ROC and by the ROC government or the ROC army is the most reliable regarding translation. It is, after all, THEIR army, and not the PRC's. 軍團, incidentally, is translated "Army Corps" by the ROCA. Миборовский (talk) 22:51, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The best reference would be translation terms used at time of NRA operation (1928-1949), as both PLA and ROCA are successors to the NRA, regardless of semantics. I will be checking on old references to see what the standard translation was as a matter of verification. Aldis90 17:41, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One primary source I will try to look at is 'THE CHINESE ARMY, THE GROWTH AND ORGANIZATION OF THE CHINESE ARMY FROM 1895 TO 1945: By George F. Nafziger', as it would possibly be comprehensive. Aldis90 17:53, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It would be nice if the Trad. and Simp. characters for each could be put in the Nationalist Army article section that explains each of the organization levels. That would clear up a lot of difficulties.Asiaticus 05:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Although I have not yet found a copy of Nafziger's book, other old sources dating back to the 1950's seem to use Army Group, and as such will leave the title as is for now unless other materials state otherwise. However, I do agree with Asiaticus about specifying the terminology variations as a means of clarifying the terms. It may also help to discuss this with the Chinese wiki article editors as well. Aldis90 (talk) 18:15, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After reviewing additional historical documents and discussions with various knowledgeable individuals, it appears that 'Group Army' and 'Army Group' have been interchangeably used historically, and as such will be noted in the text. Aldis90 (talk) 19:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have yet to see you provide any sort of evidence backing your assertions. Until it has been shown by concrete evidence (as in, more than just you saying you have consulted with "knowledgeable individuals" who turned out to be no more than online forum members,) that "army group" has historically been used interchangeably with "group army", it should not be in the article. In addition, there is absolutely no need for a so-called "literal translation" since "集團軍" translates literally to "group of armies", which is so close to the accepted translation "army group" as to render a "literal translation" in the lead section unnecessary and superfluous.

replies: text: Lol, true; and I agree, it should. Historically, it stemmed from an old find-sources precursor (forget what it was; had the term multi in the name) that had four terms, and realized that really what it had was one automatically quoted term (term 1) and three unquoted terms (2, 3, and 4) so the 3rd and 4th were redundant, leaving "quoted search" and "unquoted search", but it probably never handled your case properly, and this kind of inherited that.

Talk:Waldo Covered Bridge

message: I was trying to find some information for a caption on the Waldo Covered Bridge in Talladega County and found this entry. I immediately wondered about the information claiming that Gen. James H. Wilson and his raiders used the bridge during their raid in Alabama. As you can see from this link, Wilson's Raid was well west of Waldo, and so the bridge was highly unlikely to have been on his route.

If the contributor could provide some documentation of this claim, I will be happy to include it in the caption.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Queensgirl (talk • contribs) 21:25, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Epipolar geometry

message: I reverted the edits just made because
* From Hartley and Zisserman's book: "The epipolar geometry is the intrisic projective geometry between two views".  They and also other authors appear to use this concept exclusively for the two-view case, and refer to the general cases as N-view geometry.  Please provide reasonable references for a more general use of epiolar geometry before changing back again.
* To say that cameras are different is ambiguous.  They could be identical and even the same camera for the two views.  If we by different mean that they have different positions in space this must be expliciit.  I will fix that.

Yunatwilight (talk) 18:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Backmasked content 

message: I'm inclined to do some heavy editing to the Bill Hicks controversy section. There is some clear, heavy-handed anti-Leary bias implicit in the way it is currently written. For one, the whole affair is already given exhaustive treatment on Leary's Wiki article, so a section taking up 1/3 the article here is unnecessary. Second, statements like "...are extremely similar to material Hicks had been recorded doing for several years" obviously violate NPOV, and the Cynthia True quote implies Leary's Jim Fixx joke was nearly identical to the Hicks joke cited, when in fact the only similarity is that they both point out Fixx died young (Leary doesn't mention Keith Richards in his joke at all). 
So I'm going to do the following (feel free to revert if you think I'm going to far): I'm going to delete the entire paragraph concerning "American Scream", as it refers to the controversy, but not No Cure For Cancer specifically. Same goes for the Hicks "I camouflaged it with punchlines" quote and the Lenny Clarke roast joke. I'm also going to neutralize some of the remaining language. For now, I'm going to leave Denis' self defence quote from Playboy, even though I don't consider it directly relevant in itself. But since it constitutes a response to criticisms related to No Cure For Cancer, I'll leave it for now. 24.79.89.131 (talk) 21:56, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
