message: He later became Bishop of Thessalonika and died a martyr. 
* Reference in article is too recent. Who in church history was the first to claim that Silvanus became bishop?
Silvanus is probably the same person as Silas, also mentioned in various places in the New Testament. 
* Who says that is probably the case? Here recent academic references are okay.

message: Should the subway network itself and the operating entity be split into two separate pages, like with the Toei subway for Tokyo? Osaka Metro runs the subway (including the New Tram, which is considered part of the network in official material and should be reflected in the article) as well as the Imazato Liner BRT lines, so the two are not really synonymous with each other in the way Tokyo Metro is.
In addition it also runs the former municipal bus system through a subsidiary, which itself should be a separate article. 2001:56A:F9DB:3800:C999:DAC6:3AE5:9851 (talk) 11:17, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  E Squadron here? 

message: The organisation section was removed because of issues with its source, despite no reasoning within WP:POL being given in this regard. @Dormskirk then removed this section because its material became unsourced as a result. After I restored the section (with its source), @Thewolfchild removed it all again. I think Thewolfchild did this because they thought I only reverted Domskirk's edit re unsourced material (i.e. restoring the material in the section but not the source) rather than also restoring the source this information came from (i.e. restoring both the material and its source), when in fact I did the latter. To prevent an edit war, I'd like to ask if everyone is happy to restore this section along with its source. 13tez (talk) 23:49, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi - WP:RS says that articles should be based on "reliable, independent, published sources".

Dormskirk (talk) 00:06, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I take that point; its details with respect to the SRR's structure cannot be verified elsewhere. Maybe that makes it unsuitable for use here, at least by itself. It did contain information I never found elsewhere in regard to UKSF units, however, which make me believe it is authentic. For example, it contained information on the Special Forces Parachute Support Squadron, which couldn't previously be found when searching generally for information on the structure of UKSF, could only be corroborated by an archived RAF webpage, and is now on the SAS article. The MMS and SMG of the SBS are similar examples. 13tez (talk) 00:29, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly, it may well be authentic but it is not published.

It might be worth mentioning that "work boots" have a non-slip sole - while elastic-side riding boots (which RM Williams make) have smooth leather soles which are no good at all to work in. They are however great for riding horses in which is what they are intended for... the foot can come out of the stirrup, your foot can't easily come out of the stirrup if you are wearing "work boots" which is a bad thing.Garrie 04:30, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Nihonbashi

message: Given that this article provides the kanji and translation of Nihonbashi, it should really be under that name, and not Nihombashi.  Exploding Boy 17:30, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
:Not quite sure what you mean by "the kanji ... of Nihonbashi" since kanji do not indicate romaji. Also not sure what you mean by "translation" since "Japan bridge" does not indicate an "n" rather than an "m." Even kana would not distinguish between "n" and "m" since ん has both pronunciations, depending on the situation. I favor the "m" since that conveys the pronunciation to ordinary speakers of English but Wikipedia policy specifies use of the "n" so that could be a basis for a page move. WP also specifies using the most common English spelling, so if you want to use your favorite search engine, why not give it a try. I'm not good enough at Google to allow sites from the English-speaking countries but filter out others: even with Language set to English, the first site that comes up for Nihonbashi is in Italian, so I don't have the stamina to sort it all out. Anyhow, if you do move the page, there aren't so very many links to fix, and many already point to "Nihonbashi." Fg2 22:28, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Music Construction Set

message: Hi, I removed the references to DOS for the IBM PC version of MCS because it was never a DOS program.  The original diskette booted directly.
The DOS confusion probably stems from two things:  1. You could read the diskette somewhat in DOS; the program didn't show up, but the music data files did.  2. Most people nowadays who run MCS run the Demonlord-cracked version, which took him a few painstaking weeks to crack and convert.  People with no experience with the original would never know it was a bootable disk that didn't use DOS. Trixter 18:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Template talk:Infobox company/Archive 1

message: As the initial designer and implementor of this infobox, I oppose the changes proposed by Goodoldpolonius2.
Firstly, the objective of an infobox is to provide simplified major details about a subject. When I designed this infobox, I designed it according to my needs as an entrepreneur and marketing professional. [Obviously, many Wikipedians are pleased with the design.] As such, the adage "don't fix what isn't broken" applies. The changes proposed by Goodoldpolonius2 are neither beneficial to the typical reader nor to me, and are either redundant or proposed ad ignorantium. In addition, significant changes require updating every article which uses this template. As of this writing, there are nearly 300 articles using the company infobox.
:*Notice of industry classification is irrelevant when the Products are properly listed. In business, a "product" can be a tangible good, service, organization, or any resource. See 7-Eleven, Microsoft, Nokia, and Wal-Mart for examples of proper Products values. Moreover, the concept of "industry" is vague and ultimately is ignored for the practice of business.
:*Slogans are an expression of a product's corporate culture, brand identity, and brand essence. Slogans also indicate the direction(s) which a product desires positioning towards. Slogans even reflect the positioning of a product. The value perceived of slogans is directly proportional to how extensive the knowledge of marketing a reader possesses.
:*Notice of revenue data is redundant and subject to the passage of time when readers realize that public companies publish such data through their stock exchange(s) and on their websites (e.g., annual reports). Both the stock exchange(s) and official websites listed in the infobox of public companies are external resource links which contain regularly updated and more accurate data.

thread_title:  Fermat's opinion 

message: From the article, section headed Work:
"He invented a factorization method—Fermat's factorization method—as well as the proof technique of infinite descent, which he used to prove Fermat's right triangle theorem which includes as a corollary Fermat's Last Theorem for the case n = 4."
I was recently reviewing Euclid's proof that every composite number has at least one prime factor (Book VII, Proposition 31), and it seems to me that that proof qualifies as a proof by infinite descent. See https://farside.ph.utexas.edu/Books/Euclid/Elements.pdf. So I don't think Fermat "invented" the method; Euclid was about 2,000 years ahead of him.
I would make the revision, but just thought I'd ask a question here first and see if anyone agrees with me. I haven't done much editing lately, and I figure I ought to be polite. DavidCBryant 23:19, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
