Talk:A Sucessora

message: I've got a copy of the book and I'm going to see if I can verify the claim in the article that this book makes claims that du Maurier's publishers gave her a copy of the book. I've already got a source for general claims of the publishers intentionally giving du Maurier a copy of the book, but I'm not sure if that specific claim for DdMHH is actually in the book. I couldn't find it via a Google book search, but maybe if I go through the book page by page I can find it. (It seems to be a good book.)Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:51, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Fast Day

message: Why does an obsolete holiday in one particular country get to monopolize an article headed "Fast Day" when one would expect this to cover a very widespread concept within Christianity, Judaism, and other religions, of which the US day was just one example.  To say it is covered at Fasting is irrelevant.  If it is Fast Day rather than Fast Day (United States) it should cover the entire phenomenon, as it did from March 2006 to May 2011.  Wikipedia is not meant to be a US encyclopaedia. --PeterR2 (talk) 13:05, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

text: Sounds good to me. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 22:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: But why? The term is (or was) widely used.  Why should a defunct US holiday, which is just one example of a "Fast Day", get the monopoly on what was once a widespread thing, and for all I know may still be in current usage in some places? I feel that the material on wider usage gives background which makes clear that the US day (obscure as far as the rest of the world is concerned) was not just an oddity but part of a much wider pattern. The name certainly survives in some of the more conservative denominations in relation to one of the days of the Scottish Presbyterian "communion season" (see ), and in some places various businesses in villages were closed on such days as late as the 1990s. I don't see what is wrong with the article as it appeared in 2011.  --PeterR2 (talk) 01:19, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

message: Geniac reverted anonymous contributions from 63.164.145.198 because of lack of citations, and also, I'm guessing, because the same IP address was responsible for blanking an unrelated article earlier in the day. Regardless, the article has been tagged for a year now as needing citations. Besides adding citations for anything potentially contentious that's in the article already, we need to adhere to higher standards going forward. Adding new material that starts out with "According to recent reports" and then not citing those reports really isn't tolerable, and sounds like someone trying to dress up a corporate press release in official journalistic-sounding language.

message: "It was highly unusual for its time in having a rear gun turret, something not seen in ground attack aircraft since the World War II Il-2 Shturmovik and Il-10"
Well, that depends on how you define ground attack aircraft, and also on the country of origin. But my point in writing is that I've read that, in the conflict in Afghanistan, the crews of Il-28 "Beagle"s found their tail turrets to be quite useful in 'hosing down' Mujaheddein forces after passing over them on a bombing run. Therefore indicating that perhaps the presence of a rear turret was, perhaps is?, not as much of an anachronistic relic as it appears at first glance... - The Bushranger (talk) 21:19, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Markov chain mixing time

message: Where does the 1/4 come from? That seems arbitrary.  Slaniel
It is arbitrary. Anything less than 1/2 will suffice. The point is to use submultiplicativity of total variation distance. Namely, if d(s) denotes the variation distance after s steps, then d(s+t)\leq 2d(s)d(t) (see Ch 2, Lemma 20 of Aldous & Fill's online text), and so if \tau denotes the mixing time then d(k\tau)\leq 2^{k-1}d(\tau)^k \leq 1/2^{k+1}.  kuroyama (talk) 14:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
