Talk:The Tangent

message: A number of sections seem untidy and the article could do with a general tidy up.
My Name is Andy Tillison and I have been the leader of the band "The Tangent" for 8 years. The article about the band "The Tangent" has been written by persons unknown to me. My personal feelings on the article are that it is rather anecdotal, and around 75 percent bloated. I would rather see a factual account of the band if such an article has to be on Wikipedia at all, and although I am personally proud of the band's achievements, I don't personally consider any of them of sufficient weight for an encyclopedia yet. 
I am not, and never have been a Wikipedia editor and have no plans to be one as yet. I would be obliged if a good editor were to remove the article already present and if a replacement is thought necessary, it should be  formed of a catalogue of our releases and the briefest of histories at the very most.
I abhor the usage of facilities such as Wikipedia for the promotion of bands.

Category talk:North East England

message: It is recommended that users be restrained in adding pages to this particular category, to avoid cluttering it up. Most North East England topics, such as the towns' categories, are already in the subcategories listed below (County Durham, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear), and it is usually preferable to add a page within those.
If a topic definitely covers the whole north-east without much overlap into other regions, then it should be here; a good example is the two TV channels: Tyne Tees particularly, and BBC North East & Cumbria too.
On the other hand, other local media such as the radio channels or newspapers (most of which don't cover the entire region) shouldn't be, nor should Northumbria Police, since it only polices Northumberland and Tyne and Wear, although a merger with Durham and Cleveland forces is planned, and if it goes ahead, the resulting North East police force would merit a place in this category.

message: ... and was the copying permissible?
I didn't try to look for a source, but just some of the things about what was written there made me suspect a C&P job.  Maybe from an acceptable source, maybe not.
Some of what made me suspicious:
   * lots of weird spacing around punctuation--spaces before some commas and periods
   * similarly, weird spacing between words and sentences--some double spacing between words (not sentences).
   * just a sense that whoever put those words in the article didn't really understand them, and was just copying them

Talk:Crantock

message: What we now agree is called Crantock appears to have had several spellings over the years, some could be errors, but I'm certainly not qualified or otherwise experienced to assert either way. In any case, it seems that these spellings have been used in various places, a Google search on each will bring relevant results...
* Crantoc is the original spelling of the Saint, but that is relatively modern when considering the ancient place that once stood, at least that's what I'm interested in...
* Langarrow
* Langoroch
* Langorroc
* Langurroc
* Langurrow
* Langona
* Languna
Some variations I saw had two letter Ns or Gs, again these may be errors. So the question is...what is the correct spelling for this ancient city?

Talk:St Enoder

message: Is St Enoder actually a village?  It is certainly a parish, also probably classifies as a hamlet, but not a village I feel. Arghans (talk) 00:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: St Enoder was certainly a manor in Norman times as shown by the record in Domesday Book (spelled "Heglosenuder"); there may have been other manors later but we would need reliable sources to mention them as such. Apart from Domesday the earliest mention of St Enoder appears to be as "Sancti Enodri" in 1271 (Ekwall, E. (1949) The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names; 2nd ed. Oxford: Clarendon Press; p. 381). Craig Weatherhill records "Eglos Enoder" in 1416 and gives the derivation as "St Enoder's church" (Weatherhill, Craig (2009). A Concise Dictionary of Cornish Place-Names. Evertype. ) It is possible as you suggest that the saint never existed and that the name was corrupted into a saint's name but WP works from reliable sources. The Catholic saint directory is probably not a good source so could be deleted.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 19:31, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Baba (cake)

message: This dish, usually served within 1 hour of lunch, is best served warm and in a bowl.  Delight your friends by adding toppings such as peanuts or corn.
I disagree; this is a sweet cake glazed with melted sugar; it served in Russia on Easter morning with tea. There is not corn  to it.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to mention this, but... what the heck.
The picture of "babka" does not correspond to the text. The photograph shows a POTATO babka, which is completely different from and somewhat less traditional than the yeast cake mentioned in the text. It might be a good idea to edit the picture out and look for a better, more suitable one. Cheers.
Although there's a reference to Lithuanian "bulvių plokštainis"; it's only called that by language purists.  The popular term is "kugelis", which is a loanword which has its roots in "kugel" (see, for example, the recipe for "potato kugel").  It's a hearty, high-calorie potato recipe usually served as a side dish.

replies: text: I factored out "constant matrices" from the list, as I think these somehow form their own group. I'll be happy to revert, if someone thinks this is a bad idea. Maybe the important thing here is to have some division instead of no division. This would make the list easier to read (and edit!). This discussion would also be easier, with some division to start with. If all this is OK, what about separating matrices like symmetric, hermitian, anti-symmetric, etc. into another section? These seem to form another group. All of these are defined using symmetries, and all of these form vector spaces. Would these be Matrices in mathematics? Haseldon 19:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I've added sections "Matrices used in statistics" and "Matrices used in graph theory". I figured that nobody would object to this - there simply isn't any ambiguity. However, there are a few matrices whose membership would be valid in more than one group. I've included Incidence matrix in both the Mathematics section and the Graph theory section, as incidence matrices are used mainly in graph theory but also in more abstract areas.

thread_title:  Speed of electricity 

message: Electricity certainly does have a speed. Ask a well-qualified electrical engineer or physicist. Whenever electrons flow in or on a conductor, there are always electromagnetic waves that flow on the outside, and that is what is meant by the "speed of electricity". Whenever there is a reasonable dielectric as an insulator on the outside, that speed is about 70 percent of the speed of light. For uninsulated wires, that speed is about 99.5 percent of the speed of light. Round that off to the speed of light. 
Also, "Names inscribed on the Eiffel Tower" is VERY misleading because there is room for tens of thousands of names to be inscribed on the STEEL of the tower itself.
What they mean by the (just) 72 names are those inscribed in ceramic at the base of the Eiffel Tower. Those were once completely painted over.98.67.96.127 (talk) 21:47, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
