Talk:Beastie Boys

message: The open stated the group formed in 1979 with the second paragraph saying the group formed in 1981. It can't be both. In lieu of finding a source I decided to change 79 to 81. When I - or another editor - find a source to nail down the formation date it will be corrected if needed at that time. THX1136 (talk) 21:34, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Currently (June 2023), AllMusic states that Beastie Boys were formed in 1981. I have edited the article to reflect the correct (1981) date. I will try to add other sources as well.  The Young Aborigines were founded in either 1978 or 1979, but they were a predecessor, not the same band. Gsshatan (talk) 19:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent date edit 

message: Should The Young Aborigines really be a separate article (and a stub at that)? From what I can tell everything points to this simply being the same exact band under a different name and genre. Bands change their names all the time (see Green Day i.e Sweet Children) but it's still the same band.
From the articles:
*"The Beastie Boys were formed as a four-piece hardcore punk band, the Young Aborigines, in 1978 by Mike D (vocals), MCA (bass), John Berry (guitar) and Kate Schellenbach (drums)."
*"The band changed their name to the Beastie Boys. The Beastie Boys would later achieve success as a hip hop band."
What here then necessitates an entirely new article and not having the "Young Aborigines Era" as part of the early years section?

Talk:Linear programming

message: Hi,
I don't comment much - but this statement seems kind of general, not really relevant and is not unique to the simplex algorithm:
"The computing power required to test all the permutations to select the best assignment is vast; the number of possible configurations exceeds the number of particles in the observable universe. However, it takes only a moment to find the optimum solution by posing the problem as a linear program and applying the simplex algorithm. The theory behind linear programming drastically reduces the number of possible solutions that must be checked."
This is a blanket statement which can be said about any algorithm. Here is the same statement about sorting:
"The computing power required to test all the permutations to find the sorted assignment is vast; the number of possible configurations exceeds the number of particles in the observable universe. However, it takes only a moment to find the sorted solution by applying the bubble sort algorithm. The theory behind bubble sort drastically reduces the number of possible solutions that must be checked."
As already stated, the same could be said about almost any polynomial time algorithm. Every (decent) algorithm should be much better than "testing all permutations". Stating "the number of possible configurations exceeds the number of particles in the observable universe" is an amusing fact, but it only sounds impressive if you're not familiar with algorithms and computation. 
Basically, I think that the above paragraph should be removed, however I'm not really sure if it's OK if I just remove it or ask you guys first. Usually when I change things I just remove/add single words etc.
Thanks.
:Sorting has never been done that way in practice. Radix sort was used to sort punch cards, with the help of sorting machines operating on one column at a time. People sorting things by hand tend to use bucket sort. Even the simplest computer algorithms are O(N²). LP on the other hand didn't have any decent algorithms before the simplex method was invented, as far as I know. Problems beyond just a few variables simply couldn't be handled since one indeed had to test all basis. KetchupSalt (talk) 16:00, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Language in Advertising

message: I first wanted to simply make a case here rather than directly undoing Vintage's most recent edit to the article, which removed the reference to QAnon from the intro. Then I looked over it again and decided to undo the edit (without it being tagged as a revert, since I absolutly assume good faith by Vintage). Let me very briefly explain my reasoning. QAnon is not so much "one form" out of many, but by far the most widespread, most influential, and most pernicious narrative these days -- pernicious being an apt description considering the many cases of intimidation, slander, and outright violence associated with the movement. Given its prominence, mentioning QAnon in the introduction ought not to be seen as shoehorning, and is supported by one of the references in the same section.

Talk:Jelly Roll Morton

message: In the New York City subsection, it is stated that "Morton generally had trouble finding musicians who wanted to play his style of jazz" followed by a list of great musicians who palyed and recorded with him, and "His New York sessions failed to produce a hit." These are cited to Reich and Gaines, a source I consider to be extremely problematic. In Jazz: A History of the New York Scene (1984), p. 236, Samuel Charters and Len Kunstadt, two very well respected jazz scholars write, "He [Morton] wanted to get into the New York publishing scene and he wanted to continue recording with New York musicians. . . . and in June 1928 made a number of recordings with a small pickup band, which were almost as successful as his Chicago recordings had been." The section also says that JRM came to NY after he married in November 1928, but he actually came in February 1928. Tom Reedy (talk) 22:17, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
