Template talk:Regions of the United States

message: Some in the template now are of questionable relevance, particularly Coastal and Atlantic Northeast. Coastal is not considered to be a coherent region, and it is debatable whether people include the Gulf Coast states, as it seems to often be a shorthand for liberal Northeast and West Coast states. Atlantic Northeast is just not used that much.
Suggestions for regions that do have currency and should be included on the template are welcome. --JWB (talk) 16:21, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Which regions to include 

message: Blue-on-blue is very hard to read, near impossible on my screen. I tried to edit it but don't know the syntax. Movis78 (talk) 17:48, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Colour of list item "Northeast" 

message: To me, this template seems overly long, complicated, and confusing. Here's a quick list of things I found strange or confusing: 
* The "agency" link in the title, to United States Geological Survey. Why the USGS and not, say, the Census Bureau, or any number of other agencies? Why link to an agency at all? It's not like the USGS is in charge of US regions.
* The "mgmt" section name, of which the "mt" part links to United States Secretary of Homeland Security#Order of succession. The "₥mgmt₥" subheader itself, 4 links in 6 characters, none of them obvious from the subheader's name.
* The bolding of some links for reasons I don't see. 
* The high island link under "physiographic" (not a region). 
* The "ecology" section includes non-links, like "Marine Forest" (whatever that is), and a link to Mediterranean Sea, of all things. 
* The "watershed" links, many going to the map already shown in the template. Atlantic Seaboard is linked to three times, once with the name "Atlantic Seaboard", twice piped to different text. 
* The "continental divides" and "escarpments" sections (these are not "regions"). 
* The "indigenous people" section (also not "regions"). 
* The "expansion", and "Old West" sections are very confusing. Many links are to trails, expeditions, boundary surveys, pages like 1867 in the United States, 1845 in the American Old West, California Gold Rush, etc. These are not regions.
In short, there must be an enormous number of "regions" in the US, taking a broad definition of region. This template includes things like Trans-Mississippi Theater of the American Civil War. What's to prevent it from also including, just off the top of my head, Wine Country (California), Atlantic District (LCMS), Roman Catholic Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, Tennessee's 1st congressional district, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago, etc etc etc?
Navigation templates are supposed to be helpful, but this one seems mostly confusing, to me at least. Thoughts? Pfly (talk) 20:00, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeing no response here I'll go ahead, when and if I find the time, and rework this template, taking out non-regions and generally trying to trim it down to something less chaotic. Pfly (talk) 11:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Spline interpolation

message: This article shows everything that is wrong with mathematical articles on Wikipedia. First, it has a short, semi-technical introduction that doesn't really give a good introduction to subject. Then it dives headfirst into a very long winded page of math, with an "algorithm" that provides little clarity on what the spline does. To me, an algorithm should provide enough clarity to code something. You basically have to know what ordinary differential equations are just to start. Finally it has an example that is just as technical as the "algorithm". If you can understand anything on this page, you probably already know what spline interpolation is anyway, rendering it pointless to the target audience.
If you ask me Wikipedia is not an appropriate place for mathematical proofs, which are generally not of interest to non-mathematicians. And I also think it is also not the place for algorithms - this is where external links should come into place. It would be much better if a lay explanation of what spline interpolation is used for, why it is important, and the history behind how it came to be derived. 153.176.151.122 (talk) 10:21, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Duck and negi are the best partner for Nabemono dish like pizza and cola. If a duck appear with negi, this is a very good event. So the proverb means "Unexpected very good event".--Mochi 18:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The "other Notables" section omits Lech Kaczyński. According to Find A Grave, his remains were interred in the Wawel Cathedral in 2010. According to the Lech Kaczyński article, his remains were exhumed on Nov. 14, 2016, and "after autopsies ... Kaczyński and his wife were reburied" four days later. Oddly, the article doesn't say where. However, the source cited, the Guardian, says they were re-interred "in St Leonard’s Crypt at the Wawel Cathedral." If that's the case, why isn't Kaczyński listed among "other Notables," and why doesn't his article say plainly that he's interred there? This was a controversial issue in Poland, and should be clearly explained. – Sca (talk) 16:51, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
