Talk:John Maurice Clark

message: It would be a good idea of double-check if there is a clear tie between writings of John Maurice Clark and the concept of X-efficiency (usually credited to Harvey Leibenstein.)  Randy Summers (talk) 19:45, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Leon Chwistek

message: I corrected the translation of the title of one of the paintings illustrating this article. The title in the article was "Lying Female Act" c. 1922. "Act" is not a correct translation of the Polish word "akt" which means nude. I corrected the title to "Reclining Female Nude" - "reclining" is more commonly used in titles of art works than "lying." This is not vandalism, FFS. 
I hope that Zippybonzo is a bot and not a real person. Pascalulu88 (talk) 18:08, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revision reverted by Zippybonzo 

message: Whilst Chwistek does criticize numerous other works in his introduction, and even criticises Principia Mathematica, he later in the book admits that it contains no inconsistencies. Therefore the comment that Chwistek showed extant systems of the time to be inconsistent is dubious. Citing his own work as a source for this also seems dubious. The notion of inconsistency in axiomatic systems has a precise meaning, and I see nothing in chapter I of this work that rises to that level. 86.31.103.83 (talk) 00:47, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Roy Chapman Andrews

message: I moved the name back to Roy Chapman Andrews. This is the name printed on the covers of his various books, so I guess it is appropriate here. Unless of course someone can show that "Roy Andrews" is indeed more popular now. Yaan (talk) 11:32, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: Considering the large number of childrens' books written by Roy Chapman Andrews it might be interesting to explore how many geologists and paleontologists were inspried to enter these carreers due to Andrews' influence.  I myself was greatly inspired by reading "All About Dinosaurs" as a boy and ended up a geologist partly because of this.  Several years ago I spoke with Philip Currie of the University of Alberta and he told me that the same book influenced his career choice.  I have heard the same about such paleontological luminaries as Bob Bakker and John R. Horner but I know of no direct quotes from them concerning being influenced by Andrews as children.  Jay Gregg (talk) 08:25, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inspiration

Talk:Folkestone Harbour railway station

message: I have changed the box for next station to "Channel Ferries". Previously the box stated that the next station was "Calais Ville via Channel Tunnel". However, the English side of the Channel Tunnel is at Cheriton, to the north of Folkestone. This can be verified by going to the Ordnance Survey Site's Quick Map facility and searching for Folkestone: the tunnel can be seen diving into the ground at one end of track loops at the top of the map. The tunnel does not begin in Folkestone. Actually the French terminal is at Sangatte so it doesn't go into Calais either. Britmax 22:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Contraposition

message: I have archived the previous discussions simply because they were all 4 years old or older. But I want to discuss something that was already brought up in those, namely mergers, since Wikipedia has many pages on the same topics. I want to start by merging Proof by contrapositive here, since it is a short article on a topic that relates very closely to this one. What do people think? Thiagovscoelho (talk) 11:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Proof by contrapositive" 

message: I think it would also be good to merge Contraposition (traditional logic) here. The pages are closely connected. If this page covers contraposition in nonclassical logics, it should cover contraposition in traditional logic too. The material in the other page is very short and could be a section here.

Talk:Lyon-Part-Dieu station

message: This page was originally written with American conventions. As the subject has no particular ties to the United Kingdom, there was nothing wrong with this choice.  Given the Wikipedia policy to retain the variant of the original author in the absence of compelling justification, shouldn't that trump?  I've explained the policy to User:Johnnie390 on his talk page, but have received no response as he continues to edit-war. Jkatzen (talk) 14:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Which point is that?  That "it's a European country so use European English"?  By syllogism, would you advocate that the French Wikipedia, when talking about Washington, D.C., should use Quebecois French, under the logic that, "It's a North American city so use North American English?"  The UK is no more culturally tied to France than Canada is to the U.S.  Jkatzen (talk) 21:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually yes, I would expect articles about say Mexico or Brazil to use US English - that proximity does lead to stronger ties.  Conversely many more Britons visit and live in France. Finally - I'd have thought the fact that you can take trains to London from this station would count as a "strong link" for this specific article. JMO, anyway. FlagSteward (talk) 18:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  American or British forms 

message: I think British forms are more appropriate, considering the subject matter. And the policy on variety retention clearly states "national ties" as a major contributing factor to allowing the varieties to be changed. Internationally, British English is typically used in educational and encylopedic formats. While I wish it were the other way, logically I can't support that argument.InvisibleDiplomat666 19:36, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Where is British English typically used in "educational and encyclopedic formats"?  Brittanica vs. Encarta?  Harvard vs. Oxford? Pages on Wikipedia covering international subjects not tied to an English-speaking nation have never followed such a policy.  Does the fact that you're "secretly a monarchist" (see your User page) have anything to do with it, ha ha? (joking) Jkatzen (talk) 21:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Uniform star polyhedron

message: A star polyhedron, or polygon for that matter, need not be symmetrical. For example not every star pentagon is regular - they can be squished and still be stars. I do not think that anybody has ever defined "star" figures precisely, but there are two basic categories. It's easier to describe with polygons:
*Those whose corners alternate between convex and concave in some way. These are never uniform, though they can have a high degree of symmetry.
*Those which are selfintersecting in such a way as to mimic the outline of the first kind. These can be uniform or regular or neither.
While it is true that any uniform nonconvex figure must be a star, this is not true of nonconvex figures in general.
I think stars need a separate set of pages from nonconvex figures (ie not just a redirect), especially as the pentagram, Kepler-Poinsot solids, etc. are generally known as stars rather than 'nonconvex'. The example stars I give here were even regarded as convex for much of the 19th Century, because they have convex vertices - an idea put forward in fact by Poinsot in the paper where he announces his regular star polyhedra. Steelpillow 19:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Star polyhedra

message: I added a second for degenerate forms to place 2 newly created articles.
Coxeter determined the uniform star list by a conplete construction set of Schwarz triangles. If this article is going to expand into the degenerate forms, I think it makes sense to give the complete contruction combinations, like a table of 8 columns by Wythoff symbol positions, and 20+ columns of all Schwarz triangles (first few of prismatic families). 
Richard Klitzing has such a list, further expanded beyond Wythoff Symbols, but at least it's a starting point if someone wants to organize such a table on wikipedia. 
I started such a table a couple years ago, never had the patience to fill it in! I moved it to a subpage if anyone else wants to work from it?

*I found this while reading up a different subject but thought worthy of note since it is not mentioned in the main article.  There is not enough information on this source alone to warrant alteration of the current article and I am not read enough into either Young or Kelley to do so at this time.  This would need to be further researched, cited, and incorporated into the article.  I added a Reference section to this page to store the information for future use on the article side.

message: There's a surprising number of web sites that claim Webb Moffet and Snoqualmie to be the inventor of and first ski area with night skiing but a simple look at timelines easily puts Bousquet first by almost ten years. Any ideas where that misconception came from? I could believe that west coast skiers in the 1940s could have considered night skiing to have originated there, not knowing about the tiny ski area thousands of miles away, but how would that somehow still propagate over 50 years with more accurate information so easily available?
That said, with this misinformation so widely understood, I left in the reference to Webb Moffet to clarify and added two different sources that prove he was not the first and two other different sources that prove that Bousquet was the first.
