Talk:Belgian Official Journal

message: What exactly is the reason to make it lowercase to "Belgian official journal"? This is not a description of something, this is a specific official thing, regardless of whether or not there is an official English translation. Look at :Category:Government gazettes: all or virtually all other articles are capitalised. Similarly, most Belgian institutions or things that have an article have a capitalised title. As for this specific topic, quickly googling finds several uses for "Belgian Official Gazette". Even if we were to more or less invent a translation, English capitalises proper nouns (why would it not be a proper noun?) or even "titles of works", which you might consider this to be. It really makes no sense not to capitalise it. Regards, SPQRobin (talk) 02:43, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it is a description of something, something that does not have just one name in the original or an official English name. If we capitalise it, that suggests that name is its official English name. It's also not italicised for the same reason. The others in the category are also italicised where appropriate and follow the same rule, though some may be wrong. Philafrenzy (talk) 10:42, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  The official title of the Belgian official journal is Moniteur belge in French, Belgisch Staatsblad in Dutch, or Belgisch Staatsblatt in German (see :fr:Moniteur belge, with a picture of its front page). It just happens to be the official journal of Belgium, unlike the official journal of France, whose official title (Journal officiel de la République française, or Journal officiel for short) actually means "Official Journal (of the French Republic)". Therefore I regret the recent decision to use a capital O in the title of this article. IMHO it ought to be either "Belgian official journal" as a matter-of-fact statement of what this newspaper happens to be, or one (or more) of its titles in the three national languages, as the official title(s) of the paper. — Tonymec (talk) 08:32, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Wave function collapse

message: Wave function collapse has two meanings: 1) a synonym for the mathematical procedure of state-reduction or projection used to calculate predicted observations from wave functions 2) a description of the fate of an ontological wave in some interpretations of quantum mechanics. The top half of this article reflects the first meaning and the bottom half seems to be about the second one. 
I think the article would be much clearer if these two meanings where discussed explicitly. Johnjbarton (talk) 17:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I re-orged the article creating a section "Physical approaches to collapse" which I will next edit based on the Stamatescu encyclopedic article. Johnjbarton (talk) 01:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Distinguishing the two topics 

message: The article has this cryptic sentence:
* Mathematically it can be shown that collapse is equivalent to interaction with a classical system modeled within quantum theory as systems with Boolean algebras of observables and equivalent to a conditional expectation value.
The sentence has two refs. 
This one is interesting:
* Belavkin, V. P. (May 1994). "Nondemolition Principle of Quantum Measurement Theory". Foundations of Physics. 24 (5): 685–714
This one is essentially a math review, there are tons of quantum probability theories beyond what they discuss.
* Redei, Miklos; Summers, Stephen J. (2006-08-07). "Quantum Probability Theory"
Neither ref says anything like the sentence. Both primary refs have a reasonable number of refs but no obvious review or summary needed to evaluate them. 
I think it may be worth discussing quantum non-demolition, but maybe in the context of zeno rather than just a random paragraph. Johnjbarton (talk) 01:09, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Something about quantum non-demolition 

message: Another cryptic paragraph includes:
* the collapse of the wave function corresponds to a non-unitary quantum operation.
I guess that this obvious claim is not intended as the main import. 
Two refs are cited, an interesting but non-notable book
* 
and another quantum probability review article by the excellent J. Fröhlich:
* 
(The article here does not ref the one in the previous topic or vice versa).
Again we have a complex topic in one paragraph with no secondary overview to verify how this is related to collapse. Johnjbarton (talk) 01:29, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

File talk:White.wedding.arp.750pix.jpg

message: Wetman, as the supplier of the wedding photo I was astonished by your caption change. I was not the wedding photographer but came across it while out for a walk. The group were getting ready for the photos so the mother of the bride may well have had her hat behind her back ready to put on and there may well be a coloured top hidden behind the shawl on the guest! Its absolutely wrong to insult people who may, one day, see that pic. I have reverted you, Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 13:16, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Its a very sweet wedding party and I'm sure they'll be happy. Wikipedia is not a sentimental photo album: images are illustrations of the subject of each entry. My correct caption was heartless I suppose. The subject at the entry White wedding largely concerns the traditions of a white wedding; two unbreakable traditions of dress code at an informal afternoon wedding, such as this one, are 1) hats for ladies please 2) only the bride wears white at a white wedding. I've removed the image as well, since it undercuts the meaning of the entry. No offense. The party is identifiable as what my grandmother would have called a "village wedding" by the fact that the bride alone is in full kit; the men wear dark suits. Their red "power tie" is a familiar virility signal. One dare not mention such perfectly manifest things in Wikipedia, and I did not. But they are part of the interest of the image. (If it were an upperclass wedding party, a bridesmaid in flipflops would be noted with glee at Wikipedia.) Wetman 19:19, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Also, if the One Being returns, then the games will be very boring in future, with a grand total of one character and zero locations.

thread_title: Slight edit

message: At the point it details Onaga's ending it notes that he became the ruler of all realms, where is there evidence for this? His Armageddon ending word for word is "The forces of Darkness defeated Blaze, and the Dragon King seized the prize for himself, attaining ultimate power. He immediately focused his wrath on the one being he despised most: Shao Kahn. Long ago, Shao Kahn had stolen Outworld from him. Now Onaga would repay that treachery. Shao Kahn was beaten to the point of death, but Onaga would not see him die so quickly. He ordered Quan Chi and Shang Tsung to deal with the former emperor. While Onaga reclaimed his throne, Shao Kahn remained a captive in his own dungeon, tortured by those who had once pledged to him their allegiance." Onaga's ending only states he became the ruler of Outworld, not all the other realms; unless someone can prove he became ruler of all realms I'm gonna change it.

The last paragraph puzzles me. It seems to imply that polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam etc are not actually foams, technically speaking. Is this correct, or is the intention that yes, they are foams, but that they are dealt with in their own articles?
