message: Isn't this also called the Gompertz distribution? If you see, the Shifted Gompertz distribution links this distribution, but nothing is written here about the other name, so it is confusing. Faermi 16:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distribution name 

message: I think that tere is a mistake in the calculation of the mean value, because I've done some experiments in Mattab and the sign in the equation should be (-), i.e., mean=\mu - \beta\,\gamma\!, and not mean=\mu + \beta\,\gamma\!, as it was before.
Anyone can confirm if that's right?
Thank you all.

thread_title:  Gumbel graph paper 

message: From the text: "It is also known as the log-Weibull distribution"
Actually, per NIST, the Gumbel (minimum case) distribution is the distribution of the log of a Weibull-distributed variable, whereas this page is talking about the Gumbel (maximum case) distribution...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4898:0:FFF:0:5EFE:A7D:8603 (talk) 21:32, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minimum vs Maximum Case 

message: The formula under Related distributions, claiming that for Gumble X and Y, X+Y is Logistic seems incorrect.
Simple argument: X+Y should not be symmetric.
More complicated argument: 
Saralees Nadarajah "Linear combination of Gumbel random variables" (2006)
Gives expression for the cdf of the sum (Corollary 2), and it is a Bassel function.
The same applies also to the similar formula for generalized extreme value distribution.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexander Shekhovtsov (CTU) (talk • contribs) 16:19, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Russians

message: Jews are not mentioned in that section, seemingly because they are not "ethnic Russians". Defining ethnic Russians in a way that excludes Jews seems to be original research based on an idea of ethnicity being determined primarily by a person's "blood" (or genetics).

Talk:Pope Anacletus

message: Browsing Wikipedia, many of the pages of the Bishops of Rome are titled Pope <Name>. The title "Pope" is a much later development. It was unknown as a title for the Bishop of Rome until the 5th century. Therefore Anaclectus was not a Pope, neither was Peter a Pope or Linus or Clement of Rome. The page title is incorrect and should be corrected. The proper title would be "Bishop Anaclectus" and the article should say Bishop of Rome and not Pope anywhere.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruben Noemen (talk • contribs) 16:59, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

message: The history of this page is a bit of a mess, because it is actually the history of two pages - the page that was here was deleted, replaced by that from Pope Anacletus I, then the history undeleted. Andre Engels 13:44, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Who uploaded the image on the article and claimed that it was Anacletus? That portrait shows him wearing the papal tiara, which did not existed at the time of his papacy!!!!!!<<Coburn_Pharr>> 22:57, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: While I doubt you'll return to this page 15 years later to read my comment, it wasn't uncommon for painters in earlier centuries to draw ancient figures in anachronistically "modern" garb. If there's a portrait of Anacletus wearing the papal tiara, the most likely reason is because the artist or those who commissioned him wanted to emphasize to their contemporaries that Anacletus was a pope. In reality no one knows what Anacletus looked like, so the only question is whether Wikipedia should have a portrait that guesses what Anacletus' facial hair and clothing might conceivably have been, or a portrait designed to say "this guy was a pope, behold his papal glory" regardless of whether it's accurate to the 1st century AD. There's no famous or "official" portrait of Anacletus to my knowledge, so it boils down to preference. --Ismail (talk) 15:41, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Plestiodon egregius

message: Nice article; very well researched! But, shouldn't it be under the common name? If only Eumeces egregius (and its subspecies) is commonly known as a mole skink, that's where the article should be moved to (as per naming conventions). Right? -- Hadal 13:46, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless, you've done a great job. I did a search, and the first 15 or so pages all mention "mole skink" as some subspecies of E. egregius. This page also agrees.

Talk:Macedonian

message: I think that the term "Macedo-romanians" is not mentioned in the article Aromanians.There is not sufficient evidence that the term existed, and if it existed its use was limited. Aromanians (Vlachoi) lived in several places and not only in the extended region "Macedonia". I think that something must be mentioned in the article "Aromanians" with references. If the references are not sufficient, the term cannot be connected with "Macedonian".Jestmoon(talk) 17:42, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aromanians 

message: Someone added the demonym used for everyone residing in the Republic of Macedonia into the "People" section even though this section is about the Macedonian people and not about every ethnic group that happens to be residing in the area (Turks, Serbians, etc). I have reverted the edits as this seemed quite problematic. If demonyms have to be included in the People section, then shouldnt also apply for the demonym Macedonian also used for the people residing in the Greek (and to an extend, in the Bulgarian) parts of the region of Macedonia?--❤ SILENTRESIDENT ❤ 06:05, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demonyms in the People section 

message: I have created a new article about the obsolete terminology related directly to this issue called  Macedonians (obsolete terminology). Because it encompasses also the Macedo-Romanians which are singled out as another, separate disambiguation page, I suggest that they be dropped from this disambiguation page here.

Talk:Auslan

message: some problems with this article:
*does not mention impact (or potential impact) of video conferencing.
*does not mention impact of text messaging (SMS).
*not sure about terminology.. "people who sign in Auslan (perhaps as a first language) or consider themselves part of the Deaf community" is pretty long so i didn't use it.
*not much on grammar or examples of signs or info for people who want to learn auslan
*does not discuss much of australia's deaf culture or history
*do you call the variants "dialects" or "differences" ?
: I agree with the above suggestions, especially about grammar and the basics of the language itself (as opposed to how it relates to other languages). I perhaps would also include any effects Auslan/those who use Auslan has/have on Aborigines in Australia. Is erasure of Aboriginal sign languages affected by the popularity of Auslan? I also think some of the citations could be updated or there should be more recently published works. Tuj21794 (talk) 22:13, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer music

message: Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comment on the WikiProject X proposal 

message: Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

replies: text: That was the least of the problems, though you are perhaps seeing a definable difference between the words that doesn't actually exist.
