Talk:Trolley Square

message: Is "Tragedy at Trolley Square" encyclopedic and NPOV?  It used to say "2007 Shooting Incident", which strikes me as better, if less dramatic.

replies: text: Hmm.  I do still feel the phrase is not NPOV, but it is hard for me to argue, because it is POV in a direction I agree with.  I don't think Fox News is a good reference for what is and is not NPOV.  On the other hand, if it is common in the media to refer to the incident by that phrase, we might keep it for ease of communication.  (It seems silly to me to refer to 9/11 as "The Twin Towers Incident of 2001", to make a comparison.)  63.226.241.115 09:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Boyle Street, Edmonton

message: The article mentions a citation needed for social agencies in the Boyle Street area.  While I don't have source material yet, a couple of the agencies in the neighborhood are the Salvation Army and the Bissel Centre.
Also, as another item of interest, there is one of these Chinese arch type structures at 102 Avenue and 97 Street that is on the Boyle Street side of the intersection.

thread_title:  Name 

message: The section of this article talks about the large number of homeless in the Boyle Street area.  I did a little digging, and the Edmonton Homelessness Count Committee does an annual count in October of each year.  Their 2002 count (the most recent available on the City of Edmonton web site) indicates over 1,500 homelessness in Edmonton.  The report does give a list of agencies that provide shelter for the homeless and the capacity of each, but without knowing where these centres are physically located, it's hard to pin the numbers down to a city neighbourhood.  The Edmonton Community Plan on Homelessness 2000-2003 does say homeless tend to be attracted to the inner city, which would include Boyle Street.  However, to firm up the material in our Wikipedia article, I'd like something a bit firmer.  I'm a stats guy and I love numbers.  So if someone can find a document that gives a number of homeless actually in Boyle Street, that would be great.

message: The opening statment characterizes 3SUM as the problem of determining whether a subset of size three of a set of REALS sums zero, when the input set should be composed of integers.
:The problem has been considered both for integers (represented in binary on a word RAM, where you can hash them and use them as indices into lookup tables and so on) and for numbers in a real model of computation where all you can do is add them and compare them. Saying that it is only for integers is too dogmatic, and misses important aspects of the problem. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Mushroom (song)

message: There's another layer of possible meaning in the song, which I don't think has been pointed out in any English language source: the word "Pilzkopf" (literally "mushroom head") was used in Germany to refer to the Beatles in their early days, an exact parallel to the English term "moptop". So the song is quite likely comparing the impact of the Beatles to the effect of a nuclear bomb - this explains "I was born" as meaning "the Beatles awakened me to new possibilities in life and art".
