message: Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries. 
Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.
Nigeria is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content! 
Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

message: This is an article created by a contributor who was indefinitely blocked shortly afterwards. The sources cited are all blogs, and wouldn't support the text if they were WP:RS. Furthermore, I can't find anything in English which actually supports the central claim of the article: that 'Obe' is a specific type of Yoruba cuisine, rather than a Yoruba word for soups and/or sauces. And while I can absolutely see the merits of an article on e.g. Yoruba cuisine if valid sources could be found describing specific attributes that distinguish it, this article clearly doesn't do that. Before I nominate it for deletion, does anyone from this project have any comments? AndyTheGrump (talk) 15:00, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand Yoruba language quite well, and Obe actually means soup in general. It is just like the Yoruba word for soup, while Obe ata means stew in general. Honestly, without looking at any sources, I am not convinced on the merit of such an article. it is just like the Spanish word for soup having a Wikipedia article. Sounds like something for the dictionary or the soup article in Yoruba Wikipedia. Wonder what any other person thinks? HandsomeBoy (talk) 21:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

The highway to route mapping could be in the articles about the highways, and, in the other direction, routes 1-70 were actually signed, and so those numbers that weren't kept probably merit a separate article or a merge into another, and routes greater than 70 mostly became one highway, at least at first.

Talk:Bag Balm

message: Years ago the nursing industry used bag balm on its treatment carts (1980's)I don't know why I don't see it anymore (I am a nurse now). But we recently aquired a Jersey cow from a Mennonite family who got her from a dairy. They have been battling her chapped teats for  a year with bag balm. They are still chapped. It is my experience that any petroleum product wouldn't rub into the skin, but just stay there collecting dirt on your animals' udder. (we have had goats for over 10 years). So it wasn't long before I quit using it and used vegetable oil based lotions on my girls' udders, who have nice smooth skin. 
I have begun using geranium oil in an almond oil base and vitamins A and D in the oil also. She has just dropped off a black sore I suspect was there from two or three times a day iodine teat dips from  the dairy. Geranium oil is touted in the herbal world as a help with excema. It has helped my dry elbows. it sems to have helped Buttercup. She is beginning to regain smooth teat skin.

thread_title:  Bag Balm not helpful 

message: I work on a farm where we hand milk or cows. We apply a small amount of salve to our hands before milking (it's very difficult without it). We call this bag balm, although we make it ourselves from beeswax, vegetable oils, and essential oils. We also use this for lip balm, etc. I believe this was the original purpose for Bag Balm, as a milking salve.
It kind of mentions this on the canadian site: "... to sooth cow udders after milking."

thread_title: For Hand Milking

message: Within the Toronto circus community, Bag Balm is frequently used for burns from silks and ripped skin from the static trapeze bar. From my experience, I've found that it hydrates the skin and prevents more damage. It also allows you to continue to train on your apparatus depending on the location of the irritation and how severe it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.198.251.106 (talk) 20:59, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm an engineer at a plant in Rhode Island where we make Bag Balm. I can guarantee that this product is examined by the FDA in the same way as any other OTC product intended for human use. Nobody is trying to fool the FDA into thinking that this product is not meant to be used on humans, haha. The citation they use is from 2010 (7 years ago), and it claims that the only plant is in VT. I'm going to remove that bit.

Talk:Dominated convergence theorem

message: It should be noted that L^p DCT is not hold for p=\infty and the measure of integral region is infinite.
For example take f_n=\chi_{Q_n},  Q_n\subset R^dis the cube centered at the origin.
:The theorem in the section "Dominated convergence in Lp-spaces (corollary)", stated there (now explicitely) for , is completely false for p = ∞ even in finite measure spaces: modify the preceding example to be f_n=\chi_{[1/n, 1]} in the Lebesgue space on [0, 1]. This sequence is not Cauchy in L∞. Bdmy (talk) 08:28, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  <math>L^p</math> Dominated Convergence Theorem is not generally true for <math>p=+\infty</math>. 

message: The proof in the article states that since (fn) converges pointwise to f, the following holds:
:     \limsup_{n\to\infty} |f-f_n| = 0.
But this is in general true only if (fn) converges uniformly to f.
E.g. take:
:fn = 1 for x<1/n, 0 otherwise.
This converges pointwise but not uniformly to f\equiv0, and the limit above is 1 rather than 0.
