Talk:Aztec script

message: The introduction at the top of the article should explain why Aztec writing is important, ie how widely it was used, examples of famous texts, etc.
More could be mentioned on what examples of the writing exists, how well current scholars understand the writing system, if they wrote on clay, paper, etc.  The description of the signs is good, but there are a lot of context around the signs that should be explained.

thread_title: Suggested improvements

message: The very first assertion made is that Aztec writing is/was pictographic and ideographic. But in the source given for this fact (Lacadena, Alfanso. "Regional Scribal Traditions: Methodological Implications for th Decipherment of Nahuatl Writing") I cannot find anything that says Aztec writing was either of these. In fact, the source seems to be trying to make a case for Aztec writing to be logographic and/or phonetic (page 24, right column). I'm not convinced that this is settled science in either direction. I have heard anthropology professors refer to Aztec writing as primarily pictographic and ideographic, so I'm inclined to believe that is the current wisdom on the topic, but if so, the given source doesn't seem to support it very well. Is there another source that better reflects this? 155.97.15.115 (talk)   — Preceding undated comment added 22:12, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Donation appeal ideas

message: It would be great to be able to measure the absolute and relative effectiveness of all of these ideas for raising funds.  Experimental variation is necessary to do this properly.  Randomizing the sitenotice by IP has previously been discouraged (and would be ineffective unless, problematically, IPs of contributors were, at least temporarily, retained).  However, randomizing the timing of changes to the appeal (as suggested in "rotating slogans" above) would allow such measurement, and probably would even allow measurement of the effect of changing the sitenotice.

Talk:Infinite divisibility

message: Just to let you know I like your way of thinking!
I tend toward an Alternative View of Relativity so I found insight among your thoughts or conceptions which focused my thinking along new lines. 
As I tend to make a distinction as a (elementary) particle is matter => has inertial mass & occupies space, so perhaps Fundamental Particle could be used as distinction between those particles w/o mass?
On the other hand one could say that anything < the atomic particles => nuclear particles {impling they only exist within the bound of the nucleus}?

thread_title:  Alternative views 

message: Zeno's paradoxes are unrelated to infinite divisibility.  The latter questions how an infinite many parts can total to a finite whole,
whereas the former, flying arrow for instance, argues how can an infinite many tasks possibly be completed.
How can an arrow move if at one moment it is here and motionless and at a later moment be somewhere else and motionless. 
The editors of Zeno's Paradoxes built upon Aristotle.  Namely,
"If everything when it occupies an equal space is at rest, and if that which is in locomotion is always occupying such a space at any moment, the flying arrow is therefore motionless. As such, Machine Elf ought to move his work to Zeno's Paradoxes and not here. Oilstone (talk) 15:25, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Honda 1300

message: Added information on the sedan version of the 1300 and the two different versions of the engine (single carb vs four carb). Added information on the 145 model that succeeded it. Removed reference to the 1300 being the first front-wheel-drive car from Honda, as the N360 pre-dates the 1300 by at least two years.

message: "The 1300 was Honda's first attempt at producing a conventional sedan to compete with the Toyota Corona and the Nissan Bluebird..."
Considering the size of the car (even just looking at length and wheelbase) surely it was designed more to compete with the smaller Corolla and Sunny? Even later on in the article it is compared to the Corolla and European Ford Escort. --Zilog Jones (talk) 14:12, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If the more contemporary replacements are any indication, the 1300 looks like it might've been suited to compete with something between the Corolla and Corona. Standing at 5'11.5", the Accord is probably the smallest Honda I can fit in. As far as the Toyotas go, I can barely fit in the Corollas of the 1980s and 1990s. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  17:52, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Vulcan Street Plant

message: "This posed many challenges in the early development of commercial electricity, because just about everything was made out of wood or other flammable materials." I recommend this line be changed to remove references to "flammable materials". Nothing in the two citations indicates fire was a problem, and in fact this would be unlikely because Edison used a direct current generator so he could not use high-voltage transmission lines and then step down the voltage to house level with a transformer. Every part of the circuit would have to be at (roughly) the same voltage as was delivered to the houses, and thus not very likely to cause sparks to start a fire unless somehow a piece of metal dropped across both conductors.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.2.163.2 (talk) 00:21, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Reciprocal difference

message: Why is this concept of reciprocal difference important? Why is it defined the way that it is rather than some other way? JRSpriggs 05:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Why?

message: The expression of reciprocal difference on the current revision of the main page seems excessive and ornate.
Perhaps it should be expressed more simply?
Perhaps, something like:
:\rho_{-1}() = 0
:\rho_0(x) = f(x)
:\rho_n(x_0, x_1, ..., x_n)= \frac{x_0 - x_n}{\rho_{n-1}(x_0, ..., x_n-1) - \rho_{n-1}(x_1, ..., x_n)} + \rho_{n-2}(x_1, ..., x_{n-1})
...but we really need better notation for this:
Here, the subscript on \rho is one less than the length of the argument list, here.  And, thus, that subscript does not carry any information but should be a useful aid to understanding.  But in my opinion it just winds up being confusing in this case.
Furthermore, the mechanism of describing lists by describing their elements suffers when dealing with inductive cases which lead down to empty lists.
But the entry on Thiele's_interpolation_formula depends on this definition so I do not feel comfortable changing the conventions of notation.

Talk:Oklahoma! (1955 film)

message: There's another reason this was filmed in both 70mm Todd-AO and 35mm Cinemascope.  Todd-AO format specified 30 frames per second, versus the standard 24 for every other film format.  Even if the lab could create a 35mm version by optically reducing the 70mm frame (as they eventually did a year or so later), theater owners had no easy way to change the frame rate of their 35mm projectors.  Only the first 2 Todd-AO features (the other was 'Around the World in 80 Days') were filmed at 30fps.  After that they switched to 24, and labs were able create 35mm versions that looked as good as or better than 35mm originals.
