thread_title:  Where is the remaining shinden? 

message: "震" means more or less "vibrating", and "電" effectively may be read as "lightning" though it usually means "electricity". I thus doubt that the proposed translation for "shinden" is right.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.135.100.251 (talk) 07:09, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Chinese is a complex language in which characters often have multiple meanings, and those meanings change when used with other words. Vibrating electricity doesn't make much sense, and dozens of websites and books including many that are known for being reasonable accurate indicate magnificent lightning. It should be footnoted but I doubt your particular meaning is intended. Google translates it as electric shock, Babylon translates it as Mr Power and Microsoft and Seismo-electric, none of which seem consistent with Japanese naming conventions of the period. Several came back with "Shinden" rather than the actual meaning.NiD.29 (talk) 10:07, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Illumise

message: I read Japanese, and I can tell you that the katakana listed (イルミーゼ) does not say "Irumaizu" (which would be イルマイズ) in fact it says "Irumiize," which is actually pronounced "ee-lu-mee-zay." I've looked at the PokéDexes cited. I've even seen the Japanese episode itself, and I can tell you it is prounounced "ee-lu-mee-zay." I'm not sure where this "ill-loom-eyes" comes from, but I'm almost positive the English anime dub was saying it correctly by preserving the Japanese pronunciation. If I'm not mistaken, Illumise and Volbeat's Pokémon voices were not dubbed, and the ones you hear in the dub are the same as the ones in the Japanese version.

Talk:Dimensional regularization

message: I removed the comments on the page, stating that the interpretation of dimensional regularization may not be profound and that the geometrical intepretation of partial dimensions is hard. While i may sympathise with those feelings, the first one should be backed up by references, and the second one should not be in an encyclopedia. Siebren 09:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The geometrical interpretation of partial or fractional dimensions (see Felix Hausdorff, Hausdorff dimension, and List of fractals by Hausdorff dimension) is not at all difficult and is fully a part of mathematics and physics, such as in Fractal theory, where it is also called a fractal dimension. Informally, this concept encodes the "jaggedness" of an (n-1) dimensional boundary. For example, a coastline bounding sea and land can naively be thought of as one-dimensional, and yet cannot be measured, as the measurement method depends strongly on its resolution and because the microscopic definition of such a boundary is both undefined and ever-changing. Since it cannot be measured, its true dimension in terms of measurement must be considered as somewhere between one and two. This concept is also related to other self-similar concepts such as Space-filling curves, which are also of dimension between one and two. In summary, fractional dimensions are already in Wikipedia, and are not "hard" to interpret. Fractional dimensions (along with dimensions higher than 4) are an important concept in String theory, in Quantum mechanics, and in Group Theory, Meromorphic functions, and Numerical analysis, although for some strange reason they are not mentioned in those articles.

thread_title:  Proposed Methodist work group 

message: For many years, the World Methodist Council (WMC) has had three numbers regarding the people of its member churches on its website:
# "The World Methodist Council is made up of  80 Methodist, Wesleyan and related Uniting and United Churches representing over 80 million members in 138 countries." (page Member Churches)
# Total Members: "39,745,196" (about 40 million, page Statistical Information)
# Total Communion: "51,286,152" (about 51 million, page Statistical Information)
The number of members of its member churches is contradictory: "over 80 million members" (1) is twice the size of about 40 million (2). It is reasonable that the communion (3) is bigger than the number of members (2), isn't it? But it is not reasonable that the number of members (1) exceeds the communion (3). So I draw the conclusion that 40 million members is very likely the best number of members of the WMC's member churches available.
Additionally mentioned: Some years ago, I asked the WMC about these three figures on its website. From the head of the public relations department I got basically the following answer: The most reliable number is 40 million members. There is no basis for the number of 80 million members. Then the number of 80 million was replaced by 40 million and remained for some months on the page Member Churches. But later - the head of the PR department had changed - this number was altered again to 80 million regardless of the inconsistency of these three numbers on the WMC website. -- 2003:ED:EF10:7D00:DCD3:78BF:68BD:EDBA (talk) 19:48, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
