Talk:Robert of Chester

message: I have removed this:
:While translating Al-Khwārizmī's book about algebra, Robert of Chester made an interesting error that lives on today.mathforum.org  Arabic script, like Hebrew script, consists of consonants with vowels punctuated above or underneath and often omitted. The sine originated in India, and was adopted by the Arabs who spelled the consonants as "jb". When Robert translated the word, not understanding the Hindu origin, he supplied Arabic vowels yielding the word for bosom, in Latin, sinus. Hence, the origin of the trigonometric function named sine.
The basic point is true (misidentification of the Arabic word), but belongs at Sine#Etymology and perhaps The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing rather than here.  The cited source is unreliable and the details are contradicted by other sources, e.g. collinsdictionary, ahdictionary, etymonline; and these three Histories of Mathematics. Most notably, some ascribe to Gerard of Cremona  of the Toledo School of Translators; even if Robert preceded Gerard, it may have been Gerard who popuarised the error. jnestorius(talk) 09:37, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  sine 

message: Current included references to ROC's translated works ('The book of the composition of alchemy' and 'The compendious book on calculation by completion and balancing') seem to be presented and summarized well. There are additional key translated works that should be included, one being ROC's translation of the 'Koran'[1]. It seems Robert also had contributions in astronomy and mathematics that must be included as well[1].

message: I have recommended that 1985 (album) be merged into this article for lack of standalone notability. Discuss. Jo7hs2 (talk) 03:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The mere fact that the album is self-titled, and therefore technically distinct from the band, does not establish notability. Please see WP:BAND and WP:Notability for Wikipedia's notability requirements. In this case, there do not appear to be sufficient third-party, reliable, non-trivial sources proving notability, and therefore the album article fails the notability requirements. As such, it should be merged into the band article. Not every album needs to have an encyclopedia entry. Jo7hs2 (talk) 17:33, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Sabbag

message: Hello all- I'm expanding and rewriting this article based on input from Robert Sabbag. I'm experienced on wp, but not at bios, and am attempting to keep it free of any promotional-sounding language. I've referenced Sabbag's website in several places, hoping that is in keeping with policy. I also added a quote from novelist Robert Stone praising Snowblind, but I'm not sure how to reference an accolade that appears only on the book jacket. Does anyone know if there's a term for that type of quote? Also, does anyone know of a standard template for bios of living authors? Do we ever create sub-sections for works in a "Career" or "Works" section? Thanks in advance for any help. Eric talk 21:59, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

message: If you live in San Fransisco California then you would suppose that Tower Hill must be three hundred feet high as are the hills in San Fransisco. But if you live in Washington, D.C. then you will suppose that Tower Hill must be 20 feet high as is Capitol Hill. I was born and raised in the middle of the United States and for all I know Tower Hill is a monolithic igneous intrusion or volcanic neck that rises dramatically 1,267 feet above the surrounding terrain. Or maybe it is like the hills in my home town of East Lansing where the tallest hill is 30 feet.
This is the second article about a hill in London that I have seen without any hint of how high the hill is. Could someone who knows please enter the height?

Talk:Robert Whealey

message: I'm kind of see this person as a borderline case in terms of notability. He's not got huge amounts written about him in the popular press; however, he is a historian with a solid published record, with respectable books which may be interesting to some people. I added "references" (not ideal references but better than nothing) which reflect that he is a historian, an expert on a particular field of history (Spanish Civil War), a retired professor. But is he a hot topic? No, he's not The Maccabeats. Still, my thinking is if some student wants to learn about the Spanish Civil War, perhaps, then they may be interested in learning about Whealey or his books; so, I'm leaning to keeping this article in. I bet a more rigorous search will turn up more material on him, but I'm frankly not that interested (sorry). The article's tone is not overly promotional which is good. So, well, I'm like a weak keep, but I'm leaving this up to others.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:36, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

The historical note in "Guide to the Roger Duvoisin and Louise Fatio Papers 1934–1968" [ref name=NWDA] is not generally the source that previous editors have used. Indeed, it conflicts on two points at least, placing Duvoisin's study in Paris at École des Beaux-Arts (fine arts, seems unlikely) and giving him a job in pottery afterward.

Talk:Project Condign

message: For anyone who is interested, the following is quoted from the Executive Summary of the conclusions of the Condign report as regards the small percentage of sightings that can't be explained by misidentification. This hypothesis is unique to the Condign report and has not received much attention despite hypothesizing supernormal phenomenon:
"Occasionally and perhaps exceptionally, it seems that a field with, as yet, undetermined characteristics, can exist between certain charged buoyant objects in loose formation, such that, depending on the viewing aspect, the intervening space between them forms an area (viewed as a shape, often triangular) from which the reflection of light does not occur. This is a key finding in the attribution of what have frequently been reported as black 'craft,' often triangular and even up to hundreds of feet in length." These plasma formations also have the effect through "magnetic, electric or electromagnetic (or even unknown field), appears to emanate from some of the buoyant charged masses. Local fields of this type have been medically proven to cause responses in the temporal lobes of the human brain. These result in the observer sustaining his or her own vivid, but mainly incorrect, description of what is experienced. This is suggested to be a key factor in influencing the more extreme reports found in the media and are clearly believed by the 'victims
