Talk:List of companies based in San Francisco

message: I think we should only put the major ones, like Companies in fortune 500 or 1000 or something like that. Otherwise the list will just expand as long as it can. Do we also need companies that "used" to be on SF? 21 September 2006. 68.164.186.81
:I think it's important to include all the companies headquartered. Just because some might not be F 500 doesn't necessarily mean they don't contribute equally to the larger culture or to the city in which they reside. The page, linked from the SF article, has a lot of room to expand, and in giving a picture or San Francisco, the more information (companies) the better.  In regards to the "used to" section, I think they give more detail on SF's past, and specific information about the companies that are either defunct, acquired, or relocated. It's more information; interesting information. Hey, some cities don't even have 5 companies based there. San Francisco is dynamic, and this should help illustrate that.7 January 2007 66.234.39.20 
::Companies that are noteworthy enough to be listed on wikipedia probably should be listed even though nowhere near the F500, especially if they illuminate the culture of the area. For example, there are few places in the United States where Good Vibrations could have set up shop and thrived.  As for companies that "used to" be in the area, it would be useful if the listing mentioned where they relocated to. I suspect some went to the suburbs, others far out of state -- are trends visible?

replies: text: I agree. I am quite tired of articles referring to bay area CITIES as SUBURBS of frisco (hah! and i was born in frisco! double ha ha!). The only dividing lines we can use and not show POV are city, county boundaries, or the San Francisco Bay Area 9 county region. "near" or "outlying" doesnt cut it. I have moved the section for the other counties to list of companies based in the San Francisco Bay Area, though that list now needs to have this lists contents integrated into it. and whats with these bizarre section headings? keep it simple, i say, and use business types that the average reader will understand (or explain them with links)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:54, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: I concur.  Being able to address devices directly as System RAM sounds extremely useful, not controversial.  This should be explained. ---- Theaveng (talk) 11:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree.  I have multiple issues with this statement.  Were a lot of hardware developers upset that the Z3 bus could only handle memory mapped devices, or just a few people ranting in a Usenet thread?  Also, memory mapped I/O is the norm with 680x0 systems since the processor series lacks ported I/O commands.  So, why would it be expected on a 680x0 derived bus?  This isn't Acutiator we're talking about.  Dinjiin (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 05:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

text: I'll grab the quotes when I get chance, it was a usenet discussion with Dave Haynie. Essentially there was no way for a device to legitimately "hide" memory from being addressable and still get a decent transfer rate to it; It could not be DMAd. Wayne Hardman (talk) 16:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "somewhat controversial" 

message: This has been stated many times in the past. However, development of current Z3 hardware has shown that it's not really true. According to M.

message: :"Zorro III was never supported on 24-bit address or 16-bit data devices—it required a full 32-bit CPU."
Although this may be academic, it's not entirely true. The data bus needs to be 32 bit wide, the CPU doesn't really matter. Even a 16-bit CPU can be made to access a 32-bit bus. --Zac67 (talk) 12:38, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Medievalism

message: We need separate pages for medievalism and medieval studies.  They are not the same thing, even if the latter grew out of the former.  Medievalism is a cultural movement or affiliation, whereas medieval studies is an academic discipline.  Confusion arises from the fact that the term "medievalist" refers to members of both.
:Piratehead 13:28, 23 December 2006
I agree with Piratehead.  The term universally for the academic study of the middle ages is Medieval studies, whereas Medievalism does not refer to this any more but the use/influence of the medieval on the modern (i.e. in works or art, literature, philosophy,etc.).  Medieval studies should stop being a redirect here but instead point here in a section on 'The History of Medieval Studies' when discussing the origin of the field.  If no one objects on this discussion page in a 'reasonable amoutn of time' then I'm going to split the two pages. JCummings (talk) 16:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate pages

message: It seems that the term medievalism is also used in a pejorative sense by those who are thought to carry outmoded or dated ideas. Conservatives in general are often called medieval by Progressives. ADM (talk) 13:52, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: See neomedievalism. That's usually the term used in a (American) politics context. But it has both positive and negative connotations. It originated as a positive term in the 1970s, and more recently became a term of derision.  Green Cardamom (talk) 23:47, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Orquesta de la Luz

message: Re: The notability of Orquesta de la Luz:
Obviously this would need to be backed up by proper citation, but from a 
quick google search I've dug up the following info:
1. Their debut album hit number one on the Billboard Latin Salsa Chart, and remained there for 11 consecutive weeks.
2. They have won several awards.  Admittedly, the sources I'm giving here are very biased (the band's website, and a fansite for the lead singer) but I'm including it just for the sake of discussion:
Outstanding Award at the Japan Record Award (91 & 93), the United Nations Peace Medal Award (93), performed at the NHK Kohaku Utagassen (93) and nominated for the Grammy Award “Tropical Latin Album” (95).
 taken from http://laluz.jp/en/biography/
1991 The Best Album of the year " by ACE AWARDS (New York critic society) " Special Prize " by 33rd JAPAN RECORD AWARDS 
1992 " The Best Album of the year " , " The Best Band of the year " by ACE AWARDS 
1993 " PEACE MEDAL " by The United Nations " Special Prize " by 35th JAPAN RECORD AWARDS 
1995 Nominated for the GRAMMY AWARDS at the category of " Best Tropical Latin Album ", " The Best New Artist " by the Japanese Minister of Education at the category of Popular Entertainment 
 taken from http://www.nora-net.com/bio-e.html
(Of course, there would need to be confirmation of these awards through the literature of the actual awarding bodies.)
3. Although not citable, they seem to have a huge following: the few websites I've visited where comments can be left seem to show a fanbase, and as soon as I asked those friends of mine who are into Salsa music about this band, they recognized it immediately.  Obviously this is not citable, but I mention it to point out that there may be some citable evidence of a large fanbase based on my quick investigation... at least worth looking into some more.
Taken all together, they definately seem notable - at least notable enough for an inclusion in Wikipedia - very possibly notable enough to expand the article quite a bit. Dexeron 12:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
