Talk:Specific State Memory Recall

message: So the theory is that when you are drunk, you remember what happened when you were drunk the last time? Any reliable sources or was this invented while getting hammered down at the pub one night? Weregerbil 10:30, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's real, but it's called context-dependent or state-dependent memory. It's the sort of thing one usually learns about in an intro psych class. Look at this abstract for instance, which showed that alcohol facilitated retrieval of associations made when alcohol was originally present. It's also frequently talked about with regards to chewing gum (search for the words chewing gum context on pubmed.com for many examples). digfarenough (talk) 18:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

text: (I should mention, though, that the page is overly focused on alcohol. This is just a single instance of the more general phenomenon that retrieving information while in the same context that it was encoded usually produces better retrieval. Maybe I should fix up the page a little. I'll see if I have time later.) digfarenough (talk) 18:22, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is already State-dependent learning. If this is an unusual term for the phenomenon (is it? Zero non-Wikipedia google hits on this article's title) then perhaps merge there? Weregerbil 18:49, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I've never heard of this name for it. I think it's pretty safe to just do the merge, since there was only one other editor on this page. And I'm going to remove that image, it has nothing to do with the article. digfarenough (talk) 19:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Biconical antenna

message: What the heck are these antennas used for?   Would these make good UHF TV antennas? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.10.130.47 (talk) 02:18, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They are used for measurements of RF fields and as general purpose wideband reception antennas. They are no good for TV reception as they are not directive so they don't reject ghost images from reflections. Sv1xv (talk) 20:06, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the bow tie antenna is a flat version of this antenna, and is frequently used for tv reception.  Of course, lots of bad antenans are used on tvs.  This antenna can be used any time you need a broad band omnidirectional antenna.  I see that someone added a picture of one and labeled it "butterfly" and specifically said it was for tv.  Commercial bow tie antennas are typically just a stiff wire in that shape. --ssd (talk) 15:27, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Etymology of Kolkata

message: According to the entry on the etymology of Kolkata, the city's name is "probably" derived from the village Kalikata. It is true that some refer to the city as Kalikata, but the name Kolkata or Calcutta cannot be derived from this village-name. Kalikata and Kolkata is two different words, with different etymology. The reference to Kalikata in order to explain Kolkata is actually primarily a folk-etymology, which cannot be explained either concerning linguistic changes or culturally (like changing the pronunciation of Kali Ma). I would like to refer to P. Thankappan Nair's book "Calcutta in the 17th Century" for an English discussion of the etymology.
When it comes to early references to Kalikata, these are also incorrect - even as there is made a reference to Britannica. It's occurrence in Bipradaser Manasamangal is an interpolation, and the oldest Mughal/Persian reference is from 1698. 
In short - the word Kolkata cannot be derived from the word Kalikata. It is two separate words, which needs separate etymological explanation. Again, the English name Calcutta can with a high degree of certainty be derived from Kolkata, but not from Kalikata.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/The 13th 4postle

message: Coldmachine proposes to add to the desired outcomes "Removal of the whole list, and an apology to the users included on that list". In fact, Carlitos already removed the list and I recognize this is a progress. Unfortunately, after that, he made an addition to Flanker's talk page that didn't help. More than an apology I would ask for a commitment from Carlitos to stop making this kind of comments. JRSP 11:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Coldmachine proposals

message: Carlitos asked "I would just like to ask why one of them is giving the other the list and what are the motivations behind such a gift". First of all, 24 July is not (necessarily) Flanker's birthday, just a joke on he saying in his user page that his "real name" is José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Palacios y Blanco. The motivation of the gift is that it is a reference by a reliable source needed for a couple of articles. JRSP 11:33, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

The book-referenced paragraphs I have no idea, as I don't have the books available.  Most of the first paragraph is also just copied from the main heterochromia article, which isn't a copyvio in itself, but it's a pretty poor way to write an additional article. -Bbik★ 11:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Sparse grid

message: This page badly needs examples: First, illustrations of sparse grids in 2D (showing different levels of descretization), and second, steps in constructing one of the sparse grids.  Without the latter, the formula is too hard to interpret. I guess Q_l^{(d)} is a set of 2^l points, each of dimension d, and - represents set difference.  However, the operation \otimes needs explanation.
Could the statement "A 1-d integration on level i is computed by the evaluation of O(2^{i}) points" be restated as "A one-dimensional integration..."?  If so, it should be.  Note that d is a variable already being used, so 1-d is a (nonpositive) number.  However, a phrase like "-2 integration" does not make sense. Jrvz 11:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I understand the desire to match form and function, using l when you're also using i is just bad typography, especially with the number of mobile devices with smaller screens being developed.  Please consider changing.

Talk:L'isola disabitata

message: The original contributor translated the title as The Desert Island. Based on Grove, I changed this to The Deserted Island - the Opera Project have a policy of non-proliferation of titles etc.  The contributor then reverted. 
'Desert' and 'deserted' are not the same, just as unpopulated and depopulated are not the same. Collins Cobuild Dictionary (1995) has this defintion:  "A desert island is a small tropical island, where nobody lives."   so the italian word disabitata is more accurately translated by deserted - quite apart from not confusing everybody with a new and less distinctive title. -- Kleinzach 00:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's interesting that there are so many differing interpretations of these words.   Webster's considers them interchangable, but OED gives unihabited for desert and forsaken for deserted, though the verb desert is "to make desert".   Kleinzach first raised this issue here, where there is futher discusion. Sparafucil 03:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
