message: For the record, I'm commenting here that I'm now going to drop some references and their claims, and I'm re-integrating the References section. It's become clear that certain facts are repeated by multiple authors and traceable to primary sources, and some claims are just made up, and now that I've started identifying the difference, there is little point in including the latter. Books that don't claim to be reliable historical sources don't need us to emphasize that point. Melchoir 20:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sort out references 

message: I removed two "proof"s that are nonsensical: the first one using indefinite integrals is invalid because indefinite integrals are only defined up to addition/subtraction of constants, while the second one using a geometric series basically duplicates, in a bad way, what was already given.
In general, I think this article needs a lot more love. There are rigorous methods of assigning a value to this series, and I agree with the above suggestion that the article on summation be merged here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:33, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Organised Independents

message: Someone must have commented on the apparent contradiction in their name. How can they be organised and independent? If they are indipendent from each other then how are they organised and vice versa.--JK the unwise 19:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, though it's not unknown for councils and other bodies, even parliaments, to have a formal "independent" group. Uusually that's to allow independent members a share in committee seats, speaking rights and so forth but sometimes it appears they do seek to pursue common aims. Some Residents Associations use the label "independent", confusing "independent of political parties" with "independent from other candidates/post holders" (is it a coincidence that two prominent OIs from the 2001-2002 period, when the "what does independent mean?" argument was at its height, came from towns bordering a borough council long run by such "independents"?). And the term was coined from outside the OIs but stuck. Timrollpickering 20:03, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:St Mawes Castle

message: Why was this text removed ? - please discuss before removing further text.
In 1999 there was some controversy regarding this site and others under the care of the
English Heritage organisation. The Cornish Stannary Parliament wrote to English Heritage asking them to remove all signs bearing their name from Cornish sites by July 1999 as they regard the ancient sites as Cornish heritage, not English. Over eleven months eighteen signs were removed by members of the Cornish Stannary and a letter was sent to English Heritage saying "The signs have been confiscated and held as evidence of English cultural aggression in Cornwall. Such racially motivated signs are deeply offensive and cause distress to many Cornish people". (see external BBC link). * Cornish Stannary Parliament tackles cultural aggression in Cornwall  *BBC news - Historic signs case trio bound over

Talk:RMS Celtic (1901)

message: This is what it says in the article
In 1917, Celtic hit a mine off the Isle of Man. Seventeen people on board were killed, but the Celtic survived. A number of passengers were rescued by the London and North Western Railway ship Slieve Bawn. Celtic was towed to Peel Bay and repaired in Belfast. In March 1918, U-Boat UB-77 torpedoed Celtic in the Irish Sea. Six people on board were killed, but again Celtic did not sink. She was towed to Liverpool and repaired again.
Early on 10 December 1928, she struck the Pollock Rock off Cobh. RNLB Mary Stanford, the Ballycotton Lifeboat, along with tugs, a destroyer and local life-saving teams, rescued all on board. Seven thousand tons of cargo were scattered. She could not be moved or salvaged, and was declared a total loss. She was completely taken apart for scrap by 1933.[3] The Celtic features in the painting Sports on the Celtic by the British artist William Nicholson.
But then in fleet incidents on white star lines it says
In October 1917 Celtic ran up on a mine laid by U-88 near Cobh, Ireland, killing 17. She was repaired and put back into military service. In June 1918, she was torpedoed by UB-77 in the Irish Sea, killing 7. Once again, she was able to escape the sub and limp in to port with her own steam. She was repaired and once again put back into service, serving through the remainder of the war without incident.

thread_title:  The demise of the RMS Celtic 

message: In the infobox it says Celtic was powered by "quadruple expansion engines", but in the text it says "triple expansion". Most of the others say quadruple expansion, which suggests that is correct, but I have to wonder, as 4 cylinder triple expansion types were very common (with the last cylinder being doubled to avoid excessive diameter), and I was under the impression that quadruple expansion types just never caught on like triple expansion did. I can easily imagine someone mistaking "4 cylinder" with "quadruple expansion". In any case, it is a contradiction. I also notice that the Olympic class, which came significantly later, used 4 cylinder triple expansion types. So either they reverted to triple expansion because they disliked how the quadruples worked in service, or the earlier vessels were in fact triple expansion as well.

message: Per 2. Minor characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be merged with short descriptions into a "List of characters." This list should reside in the article relating to the work itself, unless it becomes long, in which case a separate article for the list is good practice. in WP:FICT, I don't see a problem with this article in it's notability. I propose that the notability tag be removed of this article to avoid it from being deleted. I don't disagree with the merge but that'll make the original article long. Only my opinion. Thanks!

Talk:Longbenton Metro station

message: :I've removed the following sections:
The station has retained a lot of its local railway charm, and is very different from the monoblock new stations that the Metro system has such as North Shields.
:"Local railway charm" is a matter of opinion of course, but the statement about North Shields is inaccurate. In fact, the present North Shields station not only pre-dates the Metro system, but is older than Longbenton station by several decades, though admittedly retaining few if any of its original features. (Perhaps the author was thinking of South Shields?)
Indeed the only items that place it as a station in the latter part of the 20th century and 2000s are the vending machines and the style of the newspaper vendor in the concourse.
:This was arguably the case before the station was refurbished. It certainly is not true today - GWK's refurbishment has given much of the station a very contemporary look, as can be seen from the images on their website. 217.155.20.163 19:29, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes

message: so it is probably good for us to talk about how the import price index is important to overall inflation, since  US imports play a relatively large role in retail goods and services, their prices may have a big impact. - though, I am not honestly sure the best way to word that. Thus I did find a few good external links that discuss that part of import prices, but I have yet to make any edits to the article. Mynameiscurtis
:Here's one way --
::“Poor families in America spend a larger share of their income on goods whose prices are directly affected by trade – such as clothing and food – than wealthier families. . . . This trend [imports helping to control inflation] can partly be explained by China. Prices of consumer goods in US stores have fallen most heavily in sectors where the Chinese presence has increased most. In canned seafood or cotton shirts, for example, where China’s exports to the rest of the world have increased dramatically this decade, inflation has been negative. In sectors where there is no Chinese presence, inflation has been more than 20 per cent. Moreover, as China produces goods of relatively low quality, sectors that have a strong Chinese presence are disproportionately consumed by the poor.”

Talk:Olaus Magnus

message: While reading the Complete Poetry of Jorge Luis Borges (ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0307743503), I came across a poem entitled Olaus Magnus (1490-1558). When I researched this person starting here on Wikipedia, I wanted to correct his date of death to match what I found in Borges. However, sources seem to point in different directions, and many support the current date of 1557. Even the sources that testify to the 1558 date, most of them auctioning sites for his manuscripts, agree with the August 1st date. I wonder why this discrepancy exists and whether we should address it in the main article. Profesor Josué (talk) 14:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
