message: The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society 1848-or-thereabouts uses the word "droogs" to mean something more like "forts" or "cities"; cf. Nundidroog.

message: I'm removing the list again. Minor staff such as Teri Troub and Stuart Maltz are not notable enough to be part of the article, if these are people are, say, the long term owners of the club then that may be worth inclusion. The rest of the list is merely a list of people who have played there, quite needless for a concert venue article. It their concerts were notable enough then comprehensively so are about 500 hundred others who have played there, wikipedia is not random list of "facts" (until they are referenced they are not confirmed fact).

thread_title: "Notable" List

message: I object to this kind of sloppy language in an encyclopaedia: "...became virtually synonymous with heavy metal and glam bands like..." [list of acts].
What does "virtually synonymous" mean? Does it mean "nearly synonymous"? Does that mean that all the bands in the list are "virtually synonymous" with one another?
This sentence (actually, the entire paragraph) is uncited; I propose to delete it (the sentence, not the paragraph), on the grounds that it's meaningless hype. MrDemeanour (talk) 13:08, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a tendency among some editors working on articles related to 'contemporary beat combos' to adopt the breathless, hip style of a wannabe rock journalist.

Talk:Self-reflection

message: "Anthropos sometimes is explained as a compound of aner and ops (genitive opos) "eye, face;" so literally "he who has the face of a man." The change of -d- to -th- is difficult to explain; perhaps it is from some lost dialectal variant, or the mistaken belief that there was an aspiration sign over the vowel in the second element (as though *-dhropo-), which mistake might have come about by influence of common verbs such as horao "to see." from [] suggests a possibility, but I don't have any published sources. The current page says Anthropos comes from mycenean greek and means or could be interpreted as "low eyed".

Talk:Kokrebellur

message: Kokkarebellur, usually shortened by the colloquial usage to Kokrebellur is a village in Maddur taluk of Mandya district of Karnataka, India. The village is named after the painted stork(Ibis leucocephalus) called "kokkare" in Kannada language. It is situated near Maddur between the cities of Mysore and Bangalore. 
The uniqueness in Kokkarebellur is the long established bonding between the spot-billed pelicans and the villagers who have adopted this bird as their heritage, since they consider the birds as harbingers of good luck and prosperity to the village. The benefits derived by the villagers from these birds are basically in the form of phosphorus and potassium rich manure obtained from the bird droppings (also known as guano). Further, over the years, the popularity of this uniqueness has also attracted tourists to the village to watch the birds.
The birds attracting visiters by their living style and its fair color.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prem Uday Kumar (talk • contribs) 07:36, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

message: I've just been through this article trying to make it more readable - formatting, minor grammar changes, punctuation, etc. It still suffers from some intelligibility problems:
* rather a lot of non-English words which make comprehension difficult for the uninitiated reader
* some of the non-English words appear to have more than one spelling - I have no way of knowing whether the variations are different words, or are just alternative transliterations (or maybe even typos?)
Furthermore, I am not sure whether this article is about Kotturu, or whether it is actually about something else...

thread_title: Untitled

message: This article should NOT be split into a different article about the USNS Paoli, although it appears someone has already done so. It's a single ship that someone painted a new name onto. That justifies a section for each era of service, on a single page. If the page is called "SS Marine Floridian", you place a redirect from "USNS Paoli" to this page. It's that simple. You're supposed to minimize the number of articles, and the way to do that is not by splitting the page about one ship that served under two names into two pages. I've never seen that done to an article, unless the article is very long and each section can easily stand for itself. A single article covering the Paoli's wartime service, her sale and name-change, and subsequent career won't fill more than a small article, so why would you split it into two stubs that even cover a lot of the same information? Its just a waste of server space, a waste of time, and a confusion to the readers. USNS Paoli and SS Marine Floridian = the same ship, so they should be described in the same article as well..45Colt 06:58, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact, this article isn't even ABOUT the Marine Floridian...it's about the incident where it crashed into the bridge. There should be ONE article about the ship, probably called "USNS Paoli", and covering its service under both names, with a brief section describing the bridge incident. The main details about the collision should be on the page about the bridge, and a link should direct readers to that page. This page just repeats half of the information on USNS Paoli, and half of the information on the James Harrison Bridge, and almost everything on this page is about the crash and the bridge, not the ship itself, which makes the title totally misleading. So this page ought to be be totally scrapped, and the contents moved to USNS Paoli and Benjamin Harrison Memorial Bridge (which ought to have a link redirecting readers who want to read about the Marine Floridian...i.e., the vessel itself, not the crash...back to USNS Paoli). Simple...45Colt 07:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Hamilton–Jacobi equation

message: In step 1 of the proof of this formula it is stated that « If \xi's starting point \mathbf{q}_0 is fixed, then, by the same logic that was used to derive the Euler–Lagrange equations, \delta \xi(t_0) = 0. » But i do not think this holds, the path \xi has fixed start and end points, but if the perturbation \delta\xi is assumed arbitrary as in the text then we have in general
\delta{\cal S}_{\delta \xi}[\xi,t;t_0]
= \frac{\partial {\cal L}(\mathbf{q},\mathbf{\dot q})}{\partial \mathbf{\dot q}}\delta \xi(t)-
\frac{\partial {\cal L}(\mathbf{q_0},\mathbf{\dot q_0})}{\partial \mathbf{\dot q_0}}\delta \xi(t_0).
and the second term does not necessarily vanish, as we may have \delta \xi(t_0)\neq 0 -and  \frac{\partial {\cal L}(\mathbf{q_0},\mathbf{\dot q_0})}{\partial \mathbf{\dot q_0}}\neq 0. We must explicitly assume that \delta \xi(t_0)=0, that is that the perturbation does not alter the path's origin \xi(t_0). This is what is done in step 2 where one works only with what is called a "compatible" variation of the path, this includes the condition \gamma_\epsilon(t_0)=\gamma(t_0) for all \epsilon, which implies \delta \xi(t_0)=0. I think we can adapt the proof to allow moving origin, thus general perturbations, but we must also adapt the definition of "compatible" -drop the assumption at the origin.
A few remarks on the literature: fixed origin for perturbations is also assumed in Arnold's book on classical mechanics, though his proof does not use Gateaux derivatives but works only with integrals. Abraham and Marsden's Foundations give a rather fancy proof, which yields a more general result -including moving origin, if im not mistaken. Evans in his book on PDE uses the Hopf-Lax formula for a minimizer of the action, he proves that functions satisfying it, for a convex lagrangian, satisfy the HJ equation where it is differentiable -the action functional is then only Lipschitz thus only almost everywhere differentiable. Physics text that i found offer only very sketchy proofs. Plm203 (talk) 13:38, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible mistake in the derivation of the formula <math>\frac{\partial S}{\partial q^i} = \left.\frac{\partial {\cal L}}{\partial \dot q^i}\right|_{\mathbf{\dot q} = \mathbf{v}}</math> 

message: In the section "Hamilton's principal function" it is defined as the action (consistent with Feynman). In that definition it is a definite integral and defined by that integral.
In the section "Action and Hamilton's functions" the principal function is defined consistent with Goldstein v3 as the indefinite integral resulting solutions to the H-J equations.
If you read Feynman's logic, the first definition is wrong.  He says no one wants to write out "Hamilton's principal function" all the time, let's all it "action". Then Goldstein still gets the  Hamilton's principal function name for his version.
