McGauran is believed to be in the process of writing a book of poetry. The subject of these poems is as yet unidentified, though sources close to the man suggest he has an interest in the eldritch and macabre.

Talk:Edelmann

message: Hello everyone, my name is Jeffrey Treem an I am an analyst at Edelman, a public relations company. I added an entry for Edelman because it did not exist (despite the fact that the founder and CEO are listed in this entry) and I felt the automatic redirect to this entry was misrepresentative.
I understand that I have an inherent bias, and that the Wikipedia community frowns on this type of self-promotion. My hope is that the community will take over and edit and expand the entry. I only entered one sentence add included a link back to this entry.
My intention here is to inform, not promote. Therefore I ask and welcome you all to edit the entry on Edelman. I vow only to participate on the entry's discussion page if I notice inaccuracies. 
The listing for Richard Edelman in inaccurate. The company now has 46 offices and 2,200 employees--Jtreem 18:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph ends with the sentence:
"In April 1970, as command module pilot of Apollo 13, he became one of twenty-four astronauts who flew to the Moon.[1][2]"
This statement can only be treated as accurate if you consider coasting around the moon on a free return trajectory to count as "flew to the Moon." They were committed to not flying to the Moon well before they got to it. Should this statement not be worded differently? /Bruce/ [aka Slasher] (talk) 14:08, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

message: I started to copy edit this article but found it to be sufficiently incomprehensible that many parts are impossible to copy edit, due to my inability to understand what the text is actually trying to convey. It appears that most of the suspect content was added by an editor lacking a good grasp of English; I have stopped short of removing it since the version of the article before the additions is much thinner and there is a fair amount of good information within the new additions.
I also added a tag suggesting that the article be improved (or even replaced) by translating the French version, which appears to be a high-quality article (though I don't speak French so I can't say for sure). TitanAndromeda 02:02, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Closeness relation definition 

message: Looking through the history you will see that I attempted to make 
a change in line with pg 4 of : 
http://www.dpmms.cam.ac.uk/site2002/Teaching/IB/MetricTopologicalSpaces/2005-2006/L1topspaces.pdf
Namely I changed : 
suppose we have a function f:X\rightarrow Y, where X and Y are topological spaces.
To :
suppose we have a function f : X → Y between two topological spaces  {X,TX} and {Y,TY}.
The motivation for the initial modification being that the map f is defined between the sets X and Y, as opposed to only being defined between the topologies TX and TY.
However the change was undone. Would it be possible to get some thoughts on these two alternative expressions, please?

thread_title:  Website parameter 

message: I think we should add a "century breaks" parameter to the infobox. It's an important statistic, and we already have "high break".  It would also hopefully put an end to the trend of sticking century counts in the leads of articles.  This is not notable information about the individual (which the lead should be limited too) but an important statistic only within the sport.  So my view is take this stat out of the article leads (except for Hendry who holds the world record) and put it in the infobox. Any takers? Betty Logan (talk) 04:40, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it's certainly a good idea. BTW it can only be removed from the lead, if it is mentioned somewhere other in the article, as the infobox shouldn't contain references. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 11:05, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Hi! I think this isn't all that hard to do, but I'm currently on mobile and don't want to break the template - can we add a reference in the infobox to the world rankings page on wst.tv for if a player has a current ranking. 
It's something we won't update anywhere else in the article, so we should cite it in the infobox. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:43, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citing current ranking 

message: When you search for a player's name on Google, the result page automatically generate an infobox-like section based on the Wikipedia page. And the ranking win is simply called "ranking", which can be confusing. If you Google Gary Wilson, it will make you think he's ranked No. 1! So I edited the parameter label from "Ranking" to "Ranking wins". AmethystZhou (talk) 22:10, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not agree with changing the infobox format just because Google does not render it properly. Changes to templates that affect a huge number of articles should always be discussed first.

Talk:Caxcan

message: I reverted the recent changes that implied Caxcan persists today as an identifiable and recognised ethnolinguistic cultural group. Such a statement would need far better sources than those provided to sustain the claim. Neither CDI nor INALI mention or recognise any distinct Caxcan/Cazcan population or language/dialect, and nor do contemporary linguistic references for Uto-Aztecan or Mexican indigenous langs in general - to the best of my knowledge. Possibly I'm mistaken, but I do not think modern ethnographic sources propose or identify any contiguous population as "caxcan/cazcan".
A passing acknowledgement in an EZLN speech is insufficient evidence. The John P. Schmal reference is misused — saying that there are no doubt genetic descendants living today with Caxcan forebears is a different thing altogether to saying that there is a distinct and recognised culture persisting today. In another place and context, Schmal evidently agrees with the proposition Caxcan has no currency today, stating "as a cultural group, the Caxcanes ceased to exist during the Nineteenth Century.".
If more reliable and relevant sources can be found to demonstrate a recognised group identity as Caxcan survives, then glad to reconsider upon presentation of those sources. Until then, let's stick with what the current ethnographic descriptions portray is the case. --cjllw ʘ TALK 06:59, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually came to this article after noting the following in this article: "Jennie Luna, who is Chicana and Caxcan, said society largely is ignorant toward indigenous spirituality and doesn't understand what should not be marketed commercially. She and others say more education about Native American cultures is needed." Obviously this is not a source we can use, much less one that satisfies your request, but it does seem to me that at least some people are claiming this heritage. I am not sure whether we have to go so far as to corroborate with ethnographic sources, though. I didn't see the reverted text, but a statement that some people today claim the identity and descent from these people doesn't seem to necessitate their being correct. We recognize people's descent or claims of being from other tribes even if they don't necessarily demonstrate an accurate continuum of culture.Rifter0x0000 (talk) 03:43, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citation 

message: Hi, a while back I looked into this.
At the time it was evident that a modification might be to use the lenses from a Myvu display combined with
a (coincidentally) identical sized chip from a phlatlight red LED out of a Casio projector.
It turns out that the reason for this not working is due to anti-static mitigation.
I subsequently determined by experiment that the older chips with fewer bond wires are better, and these can be 
identified by using a magnifier without removing the actual diode from its housing.
Unfortunately wasn't able to legally source the tritium vials needed as they had been recycled a long time
earlier due to approaching the half life with the anticipation of getting more as and when needed.
In principle it would be a viable option to use optical grease as an interconnect, as this would permit replacement 
of the sources when needed in 5 years.
I should probably write a paper on this as the theoretical principles can be used with ZnS:Cu as well, and make a
viable optical battery charged up with either daylight or a dedicated tuned LED possible.
Please be nice and if someone makes this work at least mention my contribution(s) in their patent application.
