Talk:Samuel Anderson (Pennsylvania politician)

message: "Anderson was elected as an Adams to the Twentieth Congress."   What does this sentence mean?  I'm a historian, and I don't understand.  Missing words?  Extra words?  Drfryer 03:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I understand it, during the 1820's, after the collapse of the Federalist Party both major factions described themselves as members of the Democratic-Republican Party.  There were significant differences between the factions however, so "party" allegiance was indicated by allegiance to the leaders of the factions, John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson.  Calling someone "an Adams" or "a Jacksonian" is the terminology used by the U.S. Congress Biographical website, and I have maintained it in the articles I have written.  I have seen a variety of ways of dealing with the issue in Wikipedia and am not aware of a standard practice as yet. Npeters22 13:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Australian artists

message: I am curious why it is indicated that this page should list few if any actual pages, but that most should be in subcategories. "Australian artist" seems to me the best description for quite a few of the artists listed here, there being no existing (and no immediately obvious) subcategory to which they might be moved. Examples include Michael Eather (whom I have just added) and Patricia Piccinnini. Both work across a range of media and so are not meaningfully categorised as painters or sculptors. One could consider relocating links for Indigenous artists into the relevant subcategory, however this too could be controversial, as some would critique the distinction (eg are we suggesting Indigenous artists are not Australian artists?). I'm interested in the logic here. hamiltonstone 00:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of A Bug's Life characters

message: I don't think it's appropriate or accurate to state that Hopper presumably killed Axel and Loco by burying them with the food.  I got the distinct impression that that was just to teach them a lesson not kill them.  It was a G rated movie.  I didn't want to just remove it though because I don't like stepping on other peoples hard work.  Is there any evidence to support they weren't with Hopper when they returned to the colony?  I thought I saw them, but they didn't identify them by name again, I will have to watch it again. Davidac18643 (talk) 15:06, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Leave out Presumably Killed

message: I come with this proposal to merge this list into the "Cast and characters" section of the film's article. This is because none of the characters in the list neither individually nor as a group have managed to prove notability outside the film. Given that A Bug's Life is a sole film, the characters are no more relevant than those from Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc. or other Pixar films. Everything is reiteration of the plot, and there are no sections with real-world content. Thoughts? --LoЯd ۞pεth 04:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Wirth syntax notation

message: Wirth syntax notation was not really such a new concept. Many meta compilers predate this notation. They are a bit different, but basically the identical concepts we see in META II(1964), TREEMETA(1968) and CWIC(1970). Not novel or new.
Then again Parsing Expression Grammar is not a new or different concept. These grammars are expressing the syntax analysis using top down order dependent rules. The opposite of languages like BNF (Backus–Naur Form). Designing a parser from a generative language like BNF is a difficult endeavor. They did use the .EMPTY notation instead of [ ] for expressing optional constructs. $ for zero or more. The braces {} and brackets [] are used in code production constructs.
Basic CWIC, TREEMETA and METAII syntax rule syntax, excluding production syntax:
SYNTAX = ".SYNTAX" $RULE ".STOP" ID ID;
RULE   = ID "=" EXPR ";";
EXPR   = TEST $TEST ("/" ALTR / "\" BALT / .EMPTY);
ALTR   = TEST $TEST ("/" ALTR / .EMPTY);
BALT   = TEST $TEST ("\" BALT / .EMPTY);
TEST   = ID / LITERL / "(" EXPR ")" / ".EMPTY" / ".FAIL";
LITERL = (","/"-"/"+"/"?") STRING;
STRING .. """" $(-"""" .ANY / """""" ,"""") """";
ID.. LET $SYM_CHAR;
LET:  "A"/"B"/"C"/"D"/"E"/"F"/"G"/"H"/"I"/"J"/"K"/"L"/"M"
.    /"N"/"O"/"P"/"Q"/"R"/"S"/"T"/"U"/"V"/"W"/"X"/"Y"/"Z";
DGT:  "0"/"1"/"2"/"3"/"4"/"5"/"6"/"7"/"8"/"9";
SYM_CHR: LET/DGT/"_";
META I, META II and TREEMETA did not have the BALT. The BALT is a CWIC backtracking alternate. Non-backtracking and backtracking alternants can not  be mixed within an expreszion. Note that an expression may be grouped allowing different alternatives within a rule. A modern-day version could use the | and || for alternative operators.  
META II used braces around code productions. Square brackets were used in in TREEMETA to construct abstract syntax trees. In CWIC square brackets were used in generator function calls. 
Note. The Lexical token rules ID and STRING use the ".." rule identifying operator. And the ":" operator for character class rules. "..." has been used for .EMPTY in recent Metacompilers. Metacompilers are easly changed and quickly evolved once METAII documents were publisher. CWIC is described in an ACM 1970 publications. 
All predate Writh notation. These are for example only. May not be correct or have errors.

Talk:Skipper (boating)

message: Skipper is used to identify a CO who has not achieved the rank of "Captain" but has the authority of. Lt JFK was the skipper of PT109 even though he was not a US Navy Captain.
Skipper is also used in mixed service company when a Navy captain and a captain from another service ( US Marines ) are in the same area, to avoid confusion.
In Scottish Gaidhlig the word for a team (or a crew) is 'sgioba' and the leader of the team or crew is 'sgiobair'. It is possible that the skipper has derived from this language as many gaidhlig speaking scots sailed all over the world.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macljotr (talk • contribs) 22:43, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Actually, Scugog is only partially man made. Unlike Mitchell Lake (Which is one of two fully artificial lakes in the Kawarthas, the other being Canal Lake), Lake Scugog existed more or less in its present form, though resembling the lake as it is on the south-west end, and was only a few feet more shallow than now. The dam that raised the lake 7 feet was destroyed in 1838, and the present dam keeps the lake at the height it had during the spring thaw, prior to human intervention. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 17:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

About 1/2 the locals in the area use it as a common point of reference. I've asked my grandfather of over 75 years before what the origin of the name was but he wasn't sure. If you take a look at the Google Street View there isn't much there just a church, a house, and a few barns.

If Vladimir Jugovic was a left-winger, I can see an argument for a 4-4-2 with Jugovic on the left and Di Livio on the right, and Porrini and Iuliano at right- and left-back respectively. However, there also seems to be a possibility that Juve played with a back three, with Porrini and Di Livio playing as wing-backs, Jugovic and Deschamps in central midfield, and Zidane playing in the hole behind the strikers. Can anyone confirm this? – PeeJay 09:25, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
