thread_title:  Expansion 

message: This article says:
::: {{-\tan{\alpha + 60 \over 2}}} = {5}{\tan{\alpha - 60 \over 2}}.
:: Take the inverse tangent of both sides:
::: {-\left({\alpha + 60 \over 2}\right)} = {{5}\left({\alpha - 60 \over 2}\right)}.
This is a gross error.  Taking the inverse tangent of both sides would yield
:  {-\left({\alpha + 60 \over 2}\right)} = \arctan\left( 5 \tan\left({\alpha - 60 \over 2}\right)\right). 
Somehow this got changed to
:  {-\left({\alpha + 60 \over 2}\right)} = 5 \arctan\left( \tan\left({\alpha - 60 \over 2}\right)\right), 
so that "arctan" and "tan" cancel to give
: {-\left({\alpha + 60 \over 2}\right)} = {{5}\left({\alpha - 60 \over 2}\right)}.
That certainly is not correct. Michael Hardy 02:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Endy Chávez

message: Endy Chavez' middle name shows up differently (if it all) in ordinarily trusted sites. Baseball-reference.com doesn't list it while espn.com has it as "DeJesus." Mets.com has "William" at the top of his player bio page, but "DeJesus" at the bottom. The Mets Media Guide for 2005 lists no middle name for him. 
I ran a googlefight between Endy DeJesus Chavez vs. Endy William Chavez, and it came out 133-16 for DeJesus, for whatever that is worth. It may be that his name is Endy William DeJesus Chavez, but I don't see that anywhere. I'm thinking we're best off leaving it out until there's some consensus among these sources.

Before editing it, the sentence said, "On June 19, 2009, while trying to catch a pop-up, Chavez collided with shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt and suffered a severe knee injury." The only thing I edited was the last part of the sentence, saying that he suffered a torn ACL in the right knee, so I think it's best that we give specific details next time. – Michael (talk) 13:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Gloria Root

message: The Social Security Death Index search at http://ssdi.rootsweb.com returns a listing for a Gloria M. Root with a birth date matching the Playmate data and a date of death of January 8, 2006 (not 2005 as was previously shown). Place of death isn't shown, but last place of residence is given as San Francisco. --Southportav 16:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: When her centerfold was published in late 1969, Gloria Root was in no position to run down to the local newsstand and buy a copy.
She was serving 10 months in a Greek prison for drug smuggling.
According to a Chicago Daily News article (reprinted in the LA Times, 18 Jan 1970, p. A7), Gloria was arrested along with a boyfriend for smuggling almost 40 pounds of hashish valued at $50,000 (about $280,000 in 2006 dollars; see Tom's Inflation Calculator at: http://www.halfhill.com/inflation.html)
Gloria was sentenced to 18 months (later reduced).Her boyfriend, Corry Parker, 20, who she said she loved, was sentenced to five years. (He reduced his own sentence to nothing by escaping shortly after the trial.)
"I myself feel compassion for her," said the prison warden. "But her past is against her. She's been running around the world with different boys."
Gloria called the warden's prison "a slum" and said that mice jump across the beds.
Meanwhile, the December 1969 Playboy made the rounds of the US Embassy in Greece, as officials there "made jokes about who might be the first to visit her."
Asked by a Greek-American visitor if she was guilty, Gloria, averting her eyes, replied: "I didn't know about.... Even if I'd known it, I wouldn't have done anything about it. I'm not sorry we did it. I'm sorry we got caught."
The 21-year-old former telephone service sales rep told her visitor that she was using the money from the Playboy shoot to tour Europe with her boyfriend, eventually arriving in Afghanistan, where hashish was legal. Their drug-ladened VW was stopped in Greece, where hashish is illegal.
Asked how she got into "this mess," Gloria replied: "It all started when I was working for the telephone company. I was bored to death. I couldn't stand it. Then one day I tried methadrine (a trademark name for methamphatamine; see the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary athttp://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary) and I just never went back to work again."
Around mid-July 1970, Gloria was released and returned to the US. (LA Times, 25 July 1970, p. 3.) 
She eventually went on to earn multiple advanced college degrees and to distinguish herself in the world of business. (See the SF Chronicle's obituary at the link on this page.)

message: Tried to find a reasonable formulation of the "animat test" referred to in the article. I did not find any formulation concrete enough to use as the basis of an article, at least via Google. The Salon article by Dr Granger that comes up as a high match certainly refers to tha animat test, but does not describe it in any concrete form.
Beware too that the term animat is already used in several contexts, some of which are far removed from the usage suggested in this article.

message: There aren't any neutral or original sources that BMARC was certainly in use before 1898. There aren't any neutral or original sources that the BMARC statute was used in a significant period of time. There aren't any neutral or original sources that it is possible that BMARC statute was in use after 1898. The "parallel statutes" theory is not supported by any sources (neutral or not). It is supported only by FunkyFly, as far as I know. And rightly so, because it's wierd to have two operating statutes contradicting themselves - one accepting only Bulgarians, and the other accepting Aromanians (such as Pitu Guli), as well. But Funky has answers for all - since the name of the organization was certainly BMARC before 1902 , all members, even Pitu Guli, are Bulgarians. --FlavrSavr 02:38, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

message: As a whole it has been acknowledged that Gull was of Aromanian origin. There may have been some sort of Albanian clues in his maternal ancestral line, even though I have read about such Albanian clues also in his  father's ancestral line. The Orthodox  Christians in the Ottoman Empire at that time often had mixed marriages. Nonetheless, he had pro-Bulgarian views. This fact is particularly pronounced by his sons who had a Bulgarian consciousness. Part of the Vlach community in the late Ottoman times had strong pro-Bulgarian leanings.

thread_title: Pōmare II in Turnbull

message: The article is confusing when it comes to the years of his regency. I admit I am very confused, and I can't be the only one. In one version, he was king from 1815 until 1821 (though his predecessor became king in 1820). In another version, he was king from 1782 until 1803, despite the facts that 1) his father was king until 1791 and 2) his father installed him as king in 1791. I also says he was "under regency from 1782 until 1803". Perhaps his father abdicated as king/monarch in his favor, and then remained regent (not monarch, but regent) during his minority. But under which years? Can any one clarify this? Is is really extremely confusing. Perhaps the dates is simply not known, but if so, that should also be stated in the article so that readers does not think the article is messy and untrustworthy. --Aciram (talk) 19:13, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me explain. Tahitian history can be confusing. Traditionally it seems fathers abdicate to their sons because of children have higher rank than parents. Pomare I was the last do this in 1782 when his son was born.hh From that point onward he was regent for his son, but he was still a de facto monarch. The 1791 date wad his installation ceremony and is sometimes stated as the date of abdication in some sources.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:29, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

text: I need to go back to the source. What is confusing is it that he may have abdicated his title over Arue to his son in 1782, but Tahiti as a political entity did not exist till 1788 when Pomare defeated many of his rival. The difficulty with these reigns and dates and titles is that Tahiti as a united kingdom was a political fiction at the time forced on the natives by strong men alligned with Western powers. Even though Pomare I was able to coerce most of the chiefs to submit to him in 1788; a truly united Tahitit didnt exist till aftet Fei Pi in 1815.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
