message: The Guahiboan language family is mainly confined to the savannah-like area known as the Colombian llanos with extensions into neighbouring Venezuela. With more than 20,000 people the Guahibo or Sikuani are the largest native group in eastern Colombia. Their territory covers most of the department of Vichada and parts of the departments of Arauca, Casanare, Guain´•a and Meta.

message: "For subnational governments, the budgetary inflexibility resulting from the earmarking of most of their revenues and the mandated spending linked to transfers can lead to unsustainable fiscal deficits, reflected in rising levels of debt. Only 12 departments achieved a fiscal surplus in 2000. Among the 20 that had fiscal imbalances, 9 had deficits exceeding 15 percent of their total revenue, and for Vichada the fiscal deficit was almost 150 percent of revenue (figure 16.1). Subnational governments also suffered serious effects from the country’s slow economic growth in 1999 and 2000."

Talk:Varroville, New South Wales

thread_title:  Page move 

message: I removed the claim about the most PhDs which was based on this Sydney Morning Herald article. I initially thought the claim was bogus because Varroville has such a small population (about 150), even 1 PhD would skew it. Or, to put it another way, it might be mathematically correct but to infer it is one of the "brainest burbs" as the SMH article says is just a misuse of statistics. I also wondered where they got the number of PhDs from as I was not sure what data source holds that information. According to the SMH, they used the 2006 Census data. So I went and had a look at the Community Profile for Varroville in the 2006 census, which is available here (download it, unzip it, open it in Excel and then look at table B39 NON-SCHOOL QUALIFICATION: LEVEL OF EDUCATION). Now the problem I have is that this table doesn't count PhDs at all. It seems the census counts "Postgraduate Degrees" which covers a lot more than PhDs, it includes Masters, Postgraduate Diplomas, Postgraduate Certificates, etc. So I don't see how anything can be inferred about PhDs from this. But even if we say "well, any postgraduate qualification makes you brainy", when you look at the 2006 data in the table, there were 0 postgraduate qualifications in Varroville, there was nothing above a bachelors degree. So I cannot fathom how the SMH makes the claim they did based on the 2006 census. Maybe it's in some other table than B39 but nothing in B39 supports the claim that I can see. Happy for someone to find some supporting evidence and reinstate the claim (although I think making any claim in such a small population suburb is a bit bogus).

Talk:Sample (statistics)

message: I think there is enough information here so I can remove the stub tag. There are links to the many other pages that talk about the specifics of samples and sampling. Steve Simon 16:31, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: stub

message: The first sentence of the article is flawed. With the exception of a population that is all-inclusive, the population will always be a subset of another population (that is, a sample), and so on -- making the definition circular. 
Another problem is with the operationalization of "taking" a sample of some population -- this is never discussed in the definition.
Without some kind of rigourous methodological approach, samples drawn from the same population could have wildly variant statistical characteristics. This shows that sample methodology is an essential statistical element -- but one which the definition neglects. 
In other words, there is no way to characterize a discrete sample without also discussing how that sample was created. But this is just what the first sentence attempts to do.
Gsmcghee (talk) 00:10, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  First sentence flawed?  

message: I propose that Sample (statistics) and Sampling (statistics) should be merged into one article. I am not a statistician, but it seems to me there is a large overlap between the articles (i.e. a WP:CONTENTFORK), neither of which are too long, and readers would be best served by a single, more comprehensive article. In a recent RfD discussion, there was uncertainty about how to handle redirects for related terms with respect to these articles. I am not sure which title the merged article should have, but perhaps Sample (statistics) would be better, emphasizing the thing (sample) rather than the process of obtaining it, but I have no strong feelings either way. Obviously whichever title is not kept will target the merged article via a redirect. Mdewman6 (talk) 21:39, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Additionally it seems that the "misheard lyrics" were copied from a web page that allows people to say what they "misheard" from any given song, which is subjectable to prank lyrics.

Talk:Rice vinegar

message: October 2007. Seasoned Rice Vinegar is equated with awasezu. This is not correct. See http://www.practicallyedible.com/edible.nsf/pages/awasezu . What it is, instead, is a quicky, premade version of Sushi-zu. See here: http://www.practicallyedible.com/edible.nsf/pages/sushi-zu
_______________________________________________
What on earth is "jacked-up" vinegar?  Is that slang?  If it is then perhaps the sentence could be rephrased.  If it's not slang, I think an explanation of the term would make things clearer.
Is "jacked-up" supposed to be a replacement for ""?  If that's correct, then my question becomes "what on earth is vinegar?".  And then I'd ask is that really appropriate for Wikipedia?

message: The article says he was "Parliamentary Secretary to the Lord Privy Seal" in 1934.

Or a Parliamentary Private Secretary, i.e. not a minister at all but an MP acting as assistant to the minister? The latter is normally the first rung on the promotion ladder, and in the 1931-5 Parliament there would of course have been huge numbers of Tory MPs after jobs.Paulturtle (talk) 20:25, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I don't know if this an already-known issue, but I see that when, in any other article that links to this one, I hover over that article's wikilink to here, the tooltip that pops up has two consecutive commas. 
The article itself shows post-nominal letters after the first comma in question.
I have no objection to the tooltip mechanism automatically excluding post-nominal letters; I understand the need for brevity in tooltips.  However, the mechanism is glitching in this case and needs to be fixed.  Is perhaps the superscripted number for a footnote after the FRS causing the problem?
