WTF?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2F0E:1A8:5A00:6075:1415:520F:46A0 (talk) 12:14, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does this mean? 

message: This article relies mostly on hagiographic sources, and accepts their non-encyclopedia language.  It speaks of, "The parishioners there objected to Barbatus' remarking upon their falling short of the Christian ideal, and persecuted him to quiet him. He continued in the same vein, causing these same people to slander his character. He was eventually obliged to cease his charitable works because of these slanders."  Can you see the POV problem?  He's always right, everybody else is persecuting him.  The article also refers to "pagan religion which was still being practiced at B...." Only 2 religions, Christianity and paganism?? The phrases are offensive to non-Christians.  There is no such thing as a "pagan religion". "Pagan" is Christian jargon, and in itself POV Christian.  There were and are many religions which are not Christian. --Vicedomino (talk) 07:57, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  The usage in term rewriting 

message: The two senses of critical pair have so little in common that retaining them together on a single page seems to me nearly indefensible. Separating them and creating a disambiguation page definitely gets my vote as the way to go.—PaulTanenbaum (talk) 00:21, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yes, it should be split. 

message: The new description I've just put in is less than ideal in that, though it is brief, it does lack rigor. But its minor vagueness and its colloquialism are a small price to pay for actual correctness. The replaced description was wrong, as is shown by the following example: for the set {{a}, {a, A}, {b}, {b, B}} ordered by set containment, ({a}, {b, B}) is a critical pair but {a} and {b, B} do not "have the same order relation to all other elements."—PaulTanenbaum (talk) 18:25, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Talk:2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays)

message: This sentence: One of the incidents that will long live in the memory of The Bays is their successful chase of the German cavalry at Montigny-les-Lens on the last day of the Great War. looks editorialistic and reference to memory of The Bays is redundant as the regiment no longer separately exists since 1959.

Talk:Data transformation (statistics)

message: I think this article reads too much like a cookbook. There's a decided air of "how-to-do-it" about the whole thing, which is inappropriate in an encyclopedia. Perhaps it should be rephrased, to make it clear that we are considering alternative assumptions about the prior distribution (is it normal? log-normal? the square root of a normal variable? etc.)  DavidCBryant 14:02, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: That's good arguments for keeping the articles separate. Then whether Cℓ1,3(R) or Cℓ3,1(R) gives the gamma matrices is a matter of which convention is adopted for the Lorentz group, O(3;1) or O(1;3). If you pick up a text at random, then Murphy's law guarantees that it uses "the other" convention. B t w, I'm not going to do anything with this article in the near future. Maybe in a couple of weeks. YohanN7 (talk) 15:02, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, Gamma matrices naturally uses "the other" convention compared to Representation theory of the Lorentz group. Sigh... There is a need to have a central separate article on stuff of this sort. The problem manifests itself everywhere where it possibly could (by Murphy's law again).

Talk:Disk algebra

message: I want to clarify an edit I made.  I removed the statement that the disk algebra is a PID because I thought it was misleading without context.  An alternative would be to provide the context and state precisely what is meant.  Every norm closed ideal in the disk algebra is generated as a norm closed ideal by a single element.  But I think that to be worth stating this should be given in the context of a description of the ideals (to be found for example in Chapter 6 of Hoffman's book).  I'm not interested in doing this anytime soon.  128.255.45.80 (talk) 05:52, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

message: This article now says the following:
the disk algebra A(D) (also spelled disc algebra) is the set of holomorphic functions
: f : D → C,
where D is the open unit disk in the complex plane C, f extends to a continuous function on the closure of D.
: 
This seems like two sentences separated by a comma. At this point I suspect that what was intended is this:
the disk algebra A(D) (also spelled disc algebra) is the set of holomorphic functions
: f : D → C,
where D is the open unit disk in the complex plane C for which f extends to a continuous function on the closure of D.
Is that what is meant?
: 
This could easily be misunderstood as saying the disk algebra is the algebra of holomorphic functions on the open unit disk AND that every such function can be extended to a continuous complex-valued function on the closure. But that is false, as shown by the example z \mapsto 1/(1-z).  Michael Hardy (talk) 11:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
