Talk:Cartesian closed category

message: "In cartesian closed categories, a "function of two variables" can always be represented as a "function of one variable". In other contexts, this is known as currying; it has lead to the realization that lambda calculus can be formulated in any cartesian closed category."

Talk:Imperial College London

message: "The Central Institution of the City and Guilds of London Institute was opened as a technical education school on Exhibition Road by the Prince of Wales in early 1885."
"Prince of Wales" is wikilinked to George V, which certainly means that something is incorrect in the sentence as it stands. The future Geprge V's title at this time was not "Prince of Wales" but "Prince George of Wales". If, on the other hand, the Institution was opened by the Prince of Wales of that time, the phrase should be wikilinked to Edward VII. Harfarhs (talk) 23:47, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Hi there! Ced malt, I see you removed the recipe collection, so I removed the " material" tag. I'm leaving the tag regarding promotional tone for now, there's still a lot of phrasings that seem inappropriate for an encyclopedic article. See the manual of style for general article formatting advice; section headings use two equal-signs (like currently used in the 'see also' section). Headings should be used sparingly, the wording as minimalistic as possible, it shouldn't be tried to express too much with them. If you like to rewrite the headings, take a look at some of the other articles for some commonly used wordings and to see how the articles are structured. Or just wait until someone else edits them. The best way to achieve neutrality is when editors don't focus too much on improving one single article in one go, but stay around and watch what other people change, then further build upon that. There always can be found something to do elsewhere in the meanwhile. Editing is a slow process, especially in the lesser-known topics. 77.183.56.178 (talk) 16:11, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The text below had been a separate article.  It was merged with Beekeeping but did not really fit there.  If it fits in Wikipedia, I think it might fit best here.  
However, I'm adding it for discussion on the Talk page before we include it in this article because I have a large portion of skepticism about this particular technique.  I wrote a paper about 2 years ago on Housel positioning.  The existence of the theorized center comb has never been independently confirmed.  Housel reports finding it in feral colonies but other beekeepers looking at other feral colonies find no such pattern.  Furthermore, a 3-D model of such a comb shows that it would either take an inordinately greater amount of wax than the center structure of any other comb or that it would result in a flat-bottomed cell - which would be a sub-optimal use of volume and different than all other comb.  While Housel's theory has been published, it has not been confirmed and is generally considered to be a fringe theory by most bee researchers.  Should this be added to the article and if so, where?

message: I've reduced the following paragraph, which was written in a strange manner:
On 23 September 2016, The Times ran an article entitled "Forest Chump: disgraced politician denies another moment of madness"  in which video evidence of Davies and another man showed him placing rocks and other obstructions on permissive mountain bike trails in Caerphilly. The story and video/photo footage was also reported by BBC News, with a "right to reply" interview where Davies cut the interviewer short and ended the interview when challenged about his statement and why he would not deny laying the obstructions and condemn the actions. The story was subsequently reported across a number of national and international news sites and cycling media outlets.
There are various issues in form and content:
*Only the part referring to the Times article is actually referenced to a source.
*Parts are totally incomprehensible to readers (like me) who do not already know what happened.
**What's a "right to reply" interview?
**"when challenged about his statement" - what statement?
**"why he would not deny laying the obstructions and condemn the actions" - what's the accusation here? Why would he "not deny it" when there's video evidence?
*Parts are actually not notable enough to warrant explicit inclusion:
**Who published it and also published it (with only The Times actually references)
**That he cut an interviewer short.
