Talk:Dar Sila

message: I am trying to wikify this article but I am having difficulty understanding.
You say "Dar Sila is the name of the wandering sultanate of the Dar Sila Daju", but then later you describe it as a place and give its location.
Is a group of wandering people or is it a place?  KarenAnn 16:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The history is not very clear. I tried the best I could Please forgive me for any mistakes. You need to get more information about the history.

: In the role of copy-editor, this is still WIP for me. I have improved the sentence structure and added question marks where I felt facts or references were needed. I have also (temporarily) removed the following section of "Visitor Attractions until I can copy-edit it properly. To do that, I first need to check the facts mentioned in the text. The section that I've removed is:
: *"In fondo al corso", the starting point of Corso 2 Giugno, on the same side of the bridge on Misa river and Portici Ercolani. 
: *"In cima al corso", the ending point of Corso 2 Giugno, also known as Piazza Saffi.</blockquote>
: It must be said that nowadays it's still unknown the origin of this particular choice. Archeology has found no evidence about this issue, so far. Moreover, "In fondo al corso" and "In cima al corso" are not mentioned in any official document from the municipality of Senigallia. Nowadays this distinction is still handed down orally from generation to generation.
:I also added the description 'art nouveau pier' to clarify one of the attractions.

replies: text:  There are a few italian references to "Corso 2 Giugno" (2 June Course) which seems to be a annual "Walking" event. The information I've been able to find and translate (via Google) is insufficient to clarify the text I removed earlier. The "Corso 2 Giuno" is mentioned (and not further described or referenced) on the equivalent italian-language page, which looks, in general to be more complete. The best approach to improving this page would be to have an IT-EN tranlator compare the two versions and edit the EN page as necessary. The EN page need not be as complete as the IT but should be factually consistent. I have some doubts about this. I'll figure out which WP flags to use and include them.Mikemorrell49 (talk) 15:01, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

::Good question - it wasn't at all clear from the article.  Hopefully it's a bit better now.  Pleclech 22:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Pivot point analysis is also used heavily in Commodities Futures trading. I have often wondered how the support and resistance levels around the pivot point were calculated. While close, the calculations in this article don't yield the levels published by my commodities broker.
The Hi Lo and Close for September Cocoa futures (symbol: CC07U) from the futures quote page on www.bohlish.com are shown below

 Calculated using equations in this article:  2102.7   2093.3   2108.3   2087.7   2117.7
 Published by my commodities broker:          2101     2091     2106     2086     2116
 Calculated S1,R1,S2 & R2 if we use 2101 as the pivot: 2090     2105     2086     2116
Bottom line: the equations look very close, but they're not exact.

message: According to my source, Michael Lynch's "The People's Republic of China since 1949" the 3 antis were waste, corruption and inefficiency, rather than waste, corruption and bureaucracy. Yes I realise there's a source listed there for bureaucracy, but I think it needs to be confirmed as to which is correct. Note that Lynch quotes Mao as saying that one of the general objectives of the campaign was to destroy the "Bureaucratic capitalist class," so this may be where the inconsistency comes from.
Also, Lynch's 5 antis list industrial sabotage and fraud instead of 'cheating on government contracts' and 'stealing state economic information.' The other 3 are consistent.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.99.2 (talk) 09:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't think this fits in the article in it's current state, but I just came across a great, mischievous quote from Allais (about whom I know nothing) in Zizek's book The Sublime Object of Ideology (though Zizek himself is quoting Jacques Lacan quoting Allais—see here for the quote of the quote, presumably translated, in Zizek's book). Allais' joke, apparently well known at some point, involves someone pointing at a woman and calling out in horror "Look at her, what a shame, under her clothes, she is totally naked."  I'm guessing that does a decent job capturing Allais' wit, and perhaps it's worthy of inclusion in an expanded article (I think it's fine to cite it to Zizek if that ever happens, unless of course we can cite the original). --Bigtimepeace | talk |  contribs 08:28, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: And why is the name of this Swedish royal academy in Finnish? A case of historical revisionism? Aaker (talk) 11:15, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  The Finnish name should probably be mentioned last, but it is worth mentioning. The academy is often mentioned in Finnish context and should be recognized also by the Finnish name. --LPfi (talk) 08:24, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's always hard to translate historical names. This academy was very little known in the English-speaking world and it didn't have an English name. If the city should be called Turku or Åbo is an issue because both names have been used since the begining of time (or at least almost). Åbo is probably the most historically correct name because Swedish was the dominant language at the time but on the other hand, most people outside the Nordic countries know the city by its Finnish name (if they know about at all). Aaker (talk) 00:27, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, the royal academy was probably never known in the English speaking world during its own time so neither 'royal academy of Turku' or 'royal academy of Åbo' is historical. The rules for onomastics concerning the country of Finland are fairly simple. Basically, outside of Scandinavia, things that don't have an established name are named according to demographics. Turku is the name of the city in English (even when talking about the period under Swedish rule). The analogy of this is that we call London London and not Londinium even when talking about the Roman period even if that was its original official name. We also call the remains of Roman walls located in the city 'London wall' and not 'Londinium wall'... Clarifer (talk) 19:09, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: On the other hand we do call Paris Lutetia when talking about the Roman period. Similarly, we talk about Batavia, Leningrad, Constantinople, Stalingrad, Leopoldville, Hispalis, New Amsterdam etc. when talking about those cities in an historical context. Aaker (talk) 23:51, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Old thread, but. One can't really compare it to Roman times as both Åbo and Turku are de jure official names for the bilingual city of Turku. However the standing recommendation is to use the name used in the city's major language in English texts.

thread_title:  Obviously... ? 

message: The assertion that a quantum version of a semi-Thue system has to have all rules in both directions is dubious. The quantum requirement for reversibility (or unitarity, if one considers the operators acting on the quantum state) is that information is not destroyed, neither arbitrarily introduced, but a computation may still have distinguished forward and backward directions; going forward through a full adder quantum gate array is not the same as going backward through it. An assertion that the system is Thue rather comes very close to saying that every rewrite step has to be its own inverse, which seems to make it rather useless.
It would perhaps help if it was clarified how this quantum version of (semi-)Thue systems is supposed to deal with potential nondeterminism of the classical concept. 130.243.94.123 (talk) 14:36, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
