I have also added the note that 9999 is a Kaprekar number.  In my opinion, 9999 is a notable number, but my views may be biased. Jr9999 (talk) 21:57, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon

message: One of the Trivia items is "The Philadelphia Eagles have been associated with the Walt Disney company more than any other sports franchise". What is the basis of this? I would think that The Anaheim Mighty Ducks/Ducks could claim that title, since they were founded by The Walt Disney Company and named after a trilogy of Disney movies. I also think the California/Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim franchise could have an argument, since they were also owned by the Walt Disney company and Disney made a movie about them too. Could someone explain what the Basis is for the trivia to state that the eagles are the sports franchise most associated with Disney. Tommy11111 03:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bell Rocket Belt

message: In the specification section it says that the maximum speed is 60 mph (100 km/h), yet in the 'use' section above it says that "reached a speed of 11 to 16 km/h.". With the speed of 100km/h and a flight time of about 30 seconds this would give a range of 833m and with 16 km/h for the same time would give a range of 133m. Can someone please delete whichever of these is wrong? Thanks

Talk:Back-face culling

message: I've changed the following:

to:
:In computer graphics, back-face culling determines whether a polygon of a graphical object, is visible, depending on the position of the camera.
because this technique depends on the position of the camera, not on its field of view. If the back-facing polygon is outside the field of view, this technique would still cull. It just depends on the pipeline if it only culls back-facing polygons inside the field of view. - Simeon87 15:28, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change 

message: The equation Ax+By+Cz+D < 0 seems odd here in an article about backface culling. To determine of a face is visible i think it is better to use the Dot product between the view vector and the surface normal. Ax+By+Cz+D < 0 is used in view frustrum culling where it is used to see if every vertice lies within the frusrum or not. Isen't it better to just check if (C - Pv) dot Tn <= 0, where C are the camera position, pV is a vertice on the triangle and Tn is the triangle normal. If <= 0 the triangle shows its backface.

Talk:Music for The Native Americans

message: Just a note, since the article title here slightly defies normal grammatical conventions regarding non-capitalization  of articles such as "the" in the middle of an artistic work's title: in this particular case, the album is the soundtrack for a television series entitled The Native Americans, so the word "the" does need to be capitalized since it's the first word of a self-contained proper title that's embedded within a longer title. In fact, in some sources the title is actually rendered with quotation marks as Music from "The Native Americans". That said, I have also created a redirect at the more expected uncapitalized-the title. Bearcat 01:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

The above sentence is somewhat unsatisfactory.  The word "west" and "western" appear.  Does the first reference mean "the west" of the United States ?  Does the second reference to "western armies" refer to the US armies in the west,  or

thread_title: Assessment

message: Hello. You reverted my moving this page to a less ambiguous title with the reason "Does not require a disambiguation and incorrect". Could elaborate?
This temple is in Hawaii, USA, and there is another temple with exact same name in Japan. This ambiguity was reflected in a merge which had been listed on the to-do list for WikiProject Buddhism before I noticed the mistake. I'm therefore not sure why you think there is no ambiguity or why you think the title I set was incorrect. Scyrme (talk) 16:20, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This is Byodo-In Temple and the original in Japan is Byōdō-in. The Japanese is spelt slightly different and in the US one "Temple" works to disambiguate them as having Byodo-In and Byōdō-in would be confusing. See Wikipedia:Article titles#Precision and disambiguation. It was at Byodo-In Temple (Hawaii, USA) but that is overprecise as a disambiguation. Also as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style#US and U.S. the USA should not have been used but should have been Byodo-In Temple (Hawaii, United States). However, it does not need the State, Country disambiguation. You see this in other articles. For example Aberdeen Lake with two in Canada and one in the US but province/state is all that is used. But there are only two temples in the world, so if more disambiguation was necessary it could have been Byodo-In Temple (Oahu), Byodo-In Temple (Hawaii), Byodo-In (Oahu), Byodo-In (Hawaii), Byodo-In Temple (United States) or Byodo-In (United States). Those look like reasonable redirects. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:21, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:   Fair enough, regarding precision. However, I'm not sure that diacritics are sufficient to disambiguate the subject for most readers as they are unable to type macrons on their keyboards and may not even know what they mean so would be most likely to search for and refer to both without the diacritics (as people often do when looking up Japanese terms) making the spelling insufficient for disambiguation. Similarly, since both are temples and one is named after the other, both could accurately be referred to as "Byodo-In Temple". The article for Byodo-In (Japan) even does this, reading:  Similarly, it uses "Temple" with a proper-noun capital elsewhere to refer to Byodo-In's bell. Of-course the article could be edited to remove these references but I suspect for many readers the ambiguity would still exist. I'm therefore not convinced that "Temple" works to disambiguate them. Perhaps Byodo-In (Hawaii) would be best for the replica temple, without being too precise? Scyrme (talk) 18:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: That would work. The others could work as redirects and Byodo-In Temple should redirect to Byodo-In as it could be either. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 18:37, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Olmsted 1910 Nine Mile Run park suggestion 

message: The article claims "The park has been renamed "The Blue Slide of Mac Miller" on Google Maps and "Mac Miller's Blue Slide Playground" on Apple Maps." and provides two cites, neither of which backs up that claim. There are other pages like https://www.phillyvoice.com/pittsburgh-playground-renamed-mac-millers-blue-slide-park-maps/ that say Google Maps used that name back in 2019, but only for the playground, not Frick Park itself (as the article seems to be claiming). Further, Google Maps doesn't use that name any more for the park or for the playground, as it's never been an official name for either one. They show "The Blue Slide of Mac Miller" as a "historical landmark" within Blue Slide Playground, itself within Frick Park. Is a temporary unofficial renaming of a playground within Frick Park significant enough to be mentioned in the Frick Park article? If so, the claim here needs to be corrected and a suitable cite added. If not, perhaps deleting this incorrect claim would be best.
