Talk:Impossible event

message: The current state of the article is curious. It may also be asserted that "an impossible event is not the same as a possible event" with no real addition or detraction of meaning or utility. For the same reason, I deleted the Hurley reference, as it was "disconnected" by editing from the text of the article. Hotfeba (talk) 01:18, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I usually see the sense described in the article referred to as "almost impossible event", "null event" or "event of measure/probability zero". If anything, "impossible event" seems to be commonly used for truly impossible events, along with statements like "P(impossible event) = 0, but P(E) = 0 does not imply in general that E is impossible". The "almost" qualifier is also natural as it is used in "almost surely" etc. in a similar fashion. -- Coffee2theorems (talk) 17:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There seems to be something in what you are saying in the context of considering an ideal (set theory), which appears to be that which is small or negligible. I am looking for some source that will justify making a connection without being OR. Hotfeba (talk) 22:13, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

text: "Probability, Random Variables and Stochastic Processes" by Papoulis and Pillai states, "if an event N equals the impossible event with probability 1 then P(N) = 0. This does not, of course, mean that N [is equal to the impossible event]". This agrees with Coffee2theorems' comment "...P(E) = 0 does not imply in general that E is impossible." I am however not familiar with other textbooks and so will not edit the article. Goldenbluester (talk) 23:19, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Mel Tucker

message: I do not feel that this article qualifies to be deleted. Mr. Tucker is a notable individual in the National Football League because he is currently serving as the defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. My argument here is that other defensive coordinators have articles, so Mr. Tucker should have an article as well. The bareness of the article is due to the fact that there is not much information regarding Mr. Tucker at this time, but more will likely become available over the course of the upcoming season.

Talk:Zapata Western

message: "The Wrath of God" was not a Zapata western; although it had some similar themes. The movie was a parody on the Catholic Church, it was almost a comedy. The book was rather grim. It was set in 1922 Central America (In the book, it was post-revolutionary 1922 Mexico.) Zapata westerns, by definition, have to take place in Mexico between 1910-1920.68.231.184.217 (talk) 13:08, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Energy matters

message: This redirect has now been switched a couple of times - initially pointing to Energy Matters projects, a quasi commercial entry, it was changed to point at Energy Matters magazine, a historical entry, and then back.  Evidently both articles desire the redirect, and hence the use of this redirect meets the first criteria for RfD.  However, to resolve the matter amicably, this intermediate approach has been taken, to invite discussion on this page prior to going to full RfD.--Andrew Bud (talk) 02:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Mini-Tuesday

message: I think this merger is necessary because "Mini Tuesday" has historically been just a "Super Tuesday I." (See Super Tuesday and the BBC link there.) As is clear there, the difference between a "Super Duper Tuesday," "Giga Tuesday," "Super Tuesday II," etc. are largely irrelevant, particularly after the year their names were suggested; such is the case here, where the only fight is really about the name of the contest. If this articles stays, the article "Super Tuesday I" should be created since it also refers to this date... with the problem being that historically, there have been multiple Super Tuesday I's. Which then brings us back to the Super Tuesday article itself, which would be a better place to note how Super Tuesday I 2004 was different than Super Tuesdays past and present. Simply, modifications to the Super Tuesday date and state composition are better noted on the Super Tuesday page, particularly when the name of the event in question is arguable (again, ref. "Giga Tuesday" for what is really Super Tuesday I, or probably just Super Tuesday in 2008). Data can be added to, or may be already covered by, the pages Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2004 and Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2004, or can be created for the political parties represented here but not elsewhere (preferably taking note of the format used here.) --Kallahan (talk) 02:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Gros Ventre

message: Maybe mention of the longstanding use of Gros Ventre as synonymous with Hidatsa, a Siouxian speaking tribe of North Dakota, should be made.

Talk:Tri-State Lottery

message: I don't know why this article was ever redirecting to Powerball, since that game is run by the Multi-State Lottery Association and not Tri-State Lottery. To redirect to the Powerball article is a form of misinformation since it leads to the belief that Powerball is a Tri-State Lottery game, or that Tri-State Lottery is another name for the Multi-State Lottery Commission. While the previous content of the article was not very good, it still contained more information and was more accurate than the redirect. I have edited the content, and added a fact that asserts its notability I think (since it was the first multi-state lottery system, with the first multi-state game). However, the article is still a stub. Since there isn't a web site for Tri-State Lottery, I provided a link to the lottery web site of each of its member states.  Shardsofmetal  04:02, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Seriously, this is the third time I've removed the redirect to Powerball. Let me be clear, THIS IS NOT RELATED TO POWERBALL. All three states play Powerball, however Tri-State Lottery is a separate entity from the Multi-State Lottery Association. You wouldn't redirect the Apple Inc. article to Microsoft because they both sell computer software, so why would you redirect this to Powerball? For some reason, I feel that whoever is responsible is uneducated to the matter (meaning they shouldn't edit the article), and probably hasn't taken a look at this talk page. Please stop redirecting this page, Tri-State lottery was the first multi-state lottery in the US, so it is notable, and should never be redirected to another article, EVER!
