Talk:Caronia

message: I agree with the previous comment. Both articles are short enough to justify merging, and Caronia doesn't belong in the Paranormal Places category unless the information about the fires is included. I'm going to go ahead and merge the articles. --Helfaery 05:53, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Finished merging the articles. I left the tag designating it as a stub, since there is still very little information about Caronia in the article.
I just stumbled across this page which said something like 'An official government report says the fires were caused by aliens' stating ref 11 as the source.  I edited that roughly, but maybe there is enough unexplained evidence to class it as a 'Paranormal Place'.  What do you say?Bergenblogger (talk) 02:42, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Columbo

message: This article mentions the stage play, first performed on January 2, 1962. Was this test performance or something, because it supposedly had its world premier on January 15, 1962.
The play was originally called RX:Murder, but eventually the producer decided there would be a film version of it, and as there had been a film already of that title the play was renamed Prescription Murder. Thomas Mitchel became ill and had to have an operation and decided to retire permanently (the play's run did not end due to his sad death), then his understudy, Howard Wierum, who had up until then played a minor role in the play, became Lt. Columbo, playing the role maybe three quarters of the play's run compared to the shorter time Thomas Mitchel played Columbo.

Talk:Haymarket affair

message: I have extended the biography of Thomas Owen, my Great Great Uncle. I don't have the complete references to hand (newspaper clippings from the US and UK held on microfilm in Chicago Historical Society, Chicago public library and the National Library of Wales). I recently loaned them to my brother who has mislaid them. A picture of his tombstone is relevant too.
I don't think he threw the bomb although most of the older generation of townsfolk in Builth Wells thought so. I do think that he was very closely involved. Closely enough that the authorities preferred him dead to talking. His meeting in Pittsburg with Lucy Parsons may have betrayed his location to the Pinkertons. Certainly after his death, despite lucrative business, his brothers left the USA never to return. On his return from the USA at the age of 40 my great grandfather was able to retire in style by local standards. Thomas was not driven to anarchism by personal poverty. My grandfather, his nephew,born later, was sure that he was shot at by the Pinkerton and fell due to the fright.

Talk:Honor system

message: The main article's text under Transportation reads:
"The local government may find it impractical or overly expensive to install ticket-checking turnstiles at every station, and instead rely on casual human surveillance to check if all train riders possess tickets. In such a system one could thus ride the train without paying, and simply hope to be lucky enough to avoid a random ticket check during the trip. Though unethical, such behavior is impossible for an honor system by itself to prevent, although the behavior can be reduced by enforcing penalties for those who are caught cheating the system."
By opting for casual human surveillance and charging a fee over physical ticket-checking turnstiles at every station entrance, the local government has effectively introduced a second means of paying for ones ride.  By not installing turnstiles, it is implied that the government has done a cost/benefit analysis on the installation of turnstiles (high initial capital investment) and found that a more cost-effective solution is to employ a human ticket checker who issues penalty tickets at a cost greater than a standard ticket fare.  In practice, one could ride the train and get caught without a standard ticket by human surveillance on every on every single ride and be perfectly happy paying an increased "penalty" fee each time.  If the penalty is only an increased monetary cost (with no further legal disincentives) and the increased price of the penalty fee is still viewed as reasonable from the ticketless riders perspective, is this still considered unethical?  Or is it simply electing to utilize one form of payment that the system has in place over another?  If no turnstiles are present, riding without a ticket can only be argued as unethical if there is nobody checking tickets after boarding. BrainWrench (talk) 06:07, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Saab 37 Viggen

message: Viggen translates as "Thunderbolt" or "Tufted Duck". The plain word ""[[bolt"" is ambiguous and never used in this way: the nearest we ever get is the phrase "bolt of lightning", but never "bolt" on its own. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:02, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Auslandsdeutsche

message: The article states that no translation exists for Auslandsdeutsche.  However, doesn't the word "auslander" mean "foreigner"?  Would this not infer that an approximate translation would be "foreign German"?
24.84.56.46
In my laymanish opinion, the word has cognates in some other languages, but I can think of no good and short English translation. The meaning is broader than that of wiktionary:ex-pat, I believe.

At least this should be mentioned as most Germans use it more in the meaning of "Spätaussiedler" = people who move to Germany after WWII because of their German origin.

Talk:Labour Students

message: The article states-
In the 1960s, the National Association of Labour Student Organisations, the Labour Party's student organisation, was (except in Scotland) taken over and destroyed by Trotskyists. This left the party without a national student body.
In what way was it 'destroyed'?  Did they dissolve it, get it dissolved by their views, run it into bankruptcy, or drive so many members out it collapsed?  This needs expanding I think to ensure NPOV.  Paulleake 14:41, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

message: There are problems with this article.  For example, Kat Stark (the national womens officer) did not use labour students on her manifesto and the fact that she is a labour student is not confirmed.  This needs referencing and removing.

Talk:Gardening (cryptanalysis)

message: There is some conflict between this page and the disambiguation paragraph on Gardening.  The disambig calls gardening a known plaintext attack and this page seems to call it a chosen plaintext attack.  I don't know enough about the subject area to intelligently edit (or even to be sure tht editing is needed).  Are the two terms contradictory?  If not, a clearer indication somewhere that a chosen plaintext attack is a type of known plaintext attack might be helpful (unless the truth is another alternative I haven't thought of). - Cafemusique 13:44, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sections 4 and 6

message: It has been suggested that "sus" stands for "suspect under suspicion". The origination of this suggestion is a play called "Sus", apparently later a film, that was variously subtitled as "suspect under suspicion". The latest insertion of this supposed meaning uses a paper published by "Inter-Disciplinary.Net". This paper makes the unsourced claim that "sus" is an acronym for "suspect under suspicion", though also noting that is "also" simply a shortened form of "sus". It is clear that the claim in the paper originates from the subtitle of the play. I do not consider the paper to be a reliable source. For the alternate meaning (that is it simply a shortening of "suspicion") the full Oxford English Dictionary fully supports this, as do other dictionaries, and the full OED provides numerous quotations that use it. 
In terms of the words in actual usage, I have no doubt that it means and always has meant "suspicion". The phrase is still used by the British police - "sus burglary" means "suspicion of burglary", for example. In the context in which it was first used in colloquial speech, there is no reason for it to have meant "suspect under suspicion". It was used to describe the offence committed. "Suspect under suspicion" would be a description of the person alleged to have committed it, and would not have been used enough to have generated an acronym. In truth, "suspect under suspicion" appears to be a backronym, and not one in common usage. I therefore propose reinstating the previous meaning, sourced to the OED. ninety:one   17:39, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Close, DropDeadGorgias, but no cigar. The vast majority of the links are aimed at DOS not any particular flavour of it, such as DR-DOS or MS-DOS. Many of them are oxymoronic things like "MS-DOS for the IBM PC" - which, of course, didn't exist, as the IBM PC never shipped with MS-DOS!
