Talk:Ken Barefoot

message: I heard through another record source (not NFL.com or Pro Football Encyclopedia) that Barefoot once recovered a blocked punt and scored his only NFL touchdown while playing for the Redskins.  Please check that possibility out.

Talk:Jack Dwyer

message: We had in the main namespace
# Jack Dwyer (a bio)
Then an editor of 4 minutes and 5 edits (2 of those speedy deleted by a 3rd party) did a cut&paste move of the bio to a Dab-suffixed title (as usual, without making note of the preceding author(s)), and overwrote the bio with a non-compliant Dab:
# Jack Dwyer (a bad Dab of 3 lks, namely the two listed immediately below, and one to John Dwyer in a See-also section )
# Jack Dwyer (defensive back) (the cut&paste target)
# Jack Dwyer (musician) (existing only as the red-lk from the Dab) 
As to the musician, no info beyond the title is provided, and Google offers no hint of notability.    A second bio could exist before the Dab that would be needed if the bio were created, but the corresponding Dab entry cannot precede it; pending a clearer need (evidence of the musician's notability) it is hard to imagine anything but primary-topic Dabn with the footballer as primary topic, and a HatNote Dab tag linking to John Dwyer on the bio Jack Dwyer, until then.   My remedy is 
# merging all revisions of  Jack Dwyer (defensive back) into Jack Dwyer, which reunites his bio's text's history, 
# deleting the Dab revisions (lest they disrupt the readability of the bio-purposed revisions' history), 
# adding the HatNote, with an edit summary that acknowledges User:Boleyn's accurate 10:39, 16 December 2011 recognition (in a subsequently deleted edit) that a link to John Dwyer is called for, and 
# making Jack Dwyer (defensive back) a Rdr to the bio.

Talk:Les Dye

message: "Dye Named Orange Leader Announcement of the appointment of Lester H. Dye as new director of athletics at Syracuse University, made yesterday by vice-chancellor Dr. Michael 0. Sawyer, confirmed a report in me Fost-Mandarfl [sic] more than a week ago. Dye, who has been dean of admissions, succeeds James H. Decker, who retired June 1 after more than 35 years in the athletic department, the last nine as director of athletics. Sawyers also announced that Ron Oyer, who has been serving as acting athletic director, has been promoted to the newly-created position of associate director of athletics. Both are former Syracuse University football players. Dye, 54, earned three letters in football and, after graduation in 1942, and following a year in the army, became a member of the Washington Redskins. And end, the position he played at Syracuse, Dye was among the receivers of for the 'Skins' fabulous passer, Sammy Baugh. Less played with Washington in 1944 and 1945. After a three-year stint as head football coach at Clarkson College, he became head freshman coach at Syracuse under Ben Schwartzwalder and held that position from 1949 until 1959. One of his prime concerns now will be helping to select a successor to Schwartzwalder. Less was appointed assistant director of admissions at Syracuse, in 1959, and a year later was named director. He became dean in 1969. The new. Ad is married for the former Janice Ferguson and they have three children. His appointment is effective immediately." (The Post-Standard, July 21, 1973.

Talk:Cosmopolitan distribution

message: I think writers for Wikipedia biology-related articles are entirely too fond of this term. It is a sweeping generalization that should be avoided, imho. The meaning is arbitrary and subjective to the writer; witness this definition page. It seems to mean "we think you can find this (plant or animal) anywhere; that is, we lack geographical distribution data." Nickrz 12:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it means "you can find", not "we think you can find". If you think that in some articles it is applied wrongly, please request a citiation. Please remember, "writers for Wikipedia" are not supposed to be  "fond of" anything in their writing: they may only quote from reliable sources. And if these sources are "fond of" something, we can do nothing, except of quoting other reputable sources which disagree. `'Míkka 15:51, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Eagle Day

message: The years seem off in the infobox. It says:
:Career Information
::Year(s): 1959–1960

:Professional Teams
::Winnipeg Blue Bombers (1956-1958)
::Washington Redskins (1959-1960)
::Calgary Stampeders (1961-1966)
First, if He started with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1956 and ended with the Calgary Stampeders in 1966, then Year(s): 1959-1960 is wrong and should be Year(s):1956-1966. It seems as if someone is only counting his time played in the NFL with the Washington Redskins.
Second, if he was drafted in the NFL in 1956, why does it show him playing in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1956?

thread_title:  "When considering fully loaded displacement, the Seawise Giant still holds the record, edging out the Batillus ships." 

message: For such world-leading ultra-large ships, the article is missing a very large amount of information.  Principally, who were these ships built for? who paid for them?
But beyond that, why were these ship's built? What rationale did the original entity that funded this massive ship building project give for the project?  Was it planned for, perhaps, more economic operation in the oil transport trade? (bigger ships may have been theorized to operate more cheaply???); and therefore paid for by a private company? Or was it paid for by the French government? or perhaps some French hybrid state/private funding source?
Also missing is any description of the ships operation on the seas.  Regardless of how the decision may have been made fund and undertake the megaproject, what were the economics of the ship(s) during their operating lifetimes?  Why were they scrapped so early? What were the considerations (economic?  political? ???) that kept one of the ships on the water until 2003?  Did Prairial stay in oil transport service for her entire life? ... or become something else in her latter years before she was scrapped?
Wikipedia is not censored, and this info should not be missing from the article just to preclude a slightly embarrasing story being explicated in the encyclpedia of human knowledge?  Any information on this from the French sources—which, unfortunately, I cannot read—would greatly improve the article.  N2e (talk) 13:57, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Cellular multiprocessing

message: This article does not discuss the actual implementation of CMP as it is currently used at sites that have hardware and software that use this technology, and the hardware platform that it is used on is not well explored either. The ES7000 systems that employ this technology can have up to 64 processors installed and they are most often used in one of two schemes, one as a large server in client server environments, the other as a mainframe replacement that can interface with client server networks without the need of protocol conversion hardware. This is a vast leap in technology over traditional mainframe computers that need some form of intermediate software and/or hardware to be accessible to end user clients, and at the same time may eliminate the need for racks of individual servers in some situations because it allows the functional access of clients to the DASD and SAN located data resources while centralizing the software resource used to process that data. These systems can also be used to emulate the old batch processing environments that traditionally have been the strength of mainframe computing, and allow the use of legacy software in both applications programs and operating systems, which is attractive to organizations that have large capital investment in these types of systems. This also makes conversion to the client/server model easier for these organizations because they can continue operating the way they have been without the need for abandoning their familiar systems for the unknown. When these systems are implemented in this way, there is no loss of expertise in the support staff, merely an addition of any required support staff to sustain the client/server environment. This allows the conversion of operations to proceed gradually without the need to encounter problems that may cause service outages for the organization and can be disruptive to the continuity of the ongoing process of doing business.UnisyCE 13:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
