Talk:Combinatorial optimization

message: "Combinatorial optimization algorithms are often implemented in an efficient imperative programming language, in an expressive declarative programming language such as Prolog, or some compromise, perhaps a functional programming language such as Haskell, or a multi-paradigm language such as LISP." 
- What it actually says:
"Combinatorial optimization algorithms are usually implemented in some kind of programming language."
-What's the point?

message: Besides mention of simulating annealing, the Metropolis algorithm (to be found in Wikipedia, not by "Metropolis" but by "Metropolis-Hastings") should very definitely be referenced or cross-referenced here.  More generally, Hill-Climbing should be referenced.  And in Hill-Climbing entry, I don't see "probabilistic hill-climbing".
Probabilistic hill-climbing is a counter-intuitive notion.  Well, after a while (like when everybody see a unicorn -- so what), the notion seems less counter-intuitive, but in each step you have some chance (probability) of going towards a "worse" configuration -- and in that way you (most likely) avoid getting stuck in local optimum as opposed to global optimum.  This central notion should be part of combinatorial optimization entry.199.196.144.11 19:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Steampunk

message: It has come to my attention that according to the regulations under Wikipedia, there is a discrepancy amongst the artciles listed within this category. According to some editors (myself included) we believe it is incorrect to list an article as Steampunk such as Bride of Frankenstein or American McGee's Alice when in fact they have never stated or it was never implied that such works ofcition were using the genre of Steampunk. Therefore I believe according to the discussion related in Literary punk genre Talk page that there should be an overhaul of all the listed articles here in consideration to the criteria and vierfication within the limitations of the Steampunk genre.

message: In my opinion, stating that most people think that Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone needs evidence, so I have edited this to a more NPOV statement. Also, I think inclusion on this list requires some level of context (who said they were implicated) to avoid 'after a few beers my Uncle Stan said...' type of information. It sounds like Sam Sloan might  have some interesting background to add regarding Castro as a start. After some brief research, I found that the House Select Committee on Assassinations mentions a theory that ANTI-Castro conspiritors were involved .
