Talk:Aulëan

message: I don't think a language family with only one language in it deserves a separate article.  (It might be more apt to describe Khuzdul as a language isolate.)  Is there any possibility that this stub could be expanded?  If not, the little information in it should be merged into Khuzdul. --Jim Henry | Talk 15:37, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Aulëan is really only of interest as it relates to a) Khuzdul or b) Tolkien's Middle-earth languages in general. Especially if this article contains all that can really be said about the topic. Putting the information in one place makes it more useful because it's more accessible. -Aranel ("Sarah") 20:14, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Fully agreed. Stubby articles like this one (with little or no perspective for expansion) give conlangry a bad name. Merge. --IJzeren Jan 07:41, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Though I have no objection to the proposed merger, might I suggest that in that case, the article on Oromëan might likewise be merged into the relevant articles on Elvish languages? Aulëan and Oromëan were specifically created as companion articles (nobody ever seems to have bothered to add Melkian), and I don't like the inconsistency of treating them differently.Vremya 03:01, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe.  But the point of my original comment was that this is a language family with only one known language in it; there's really nothing much to say about it.  Oromëan is a much larger language family with several languages in it.  I don't know for sure, but I suspect Oromëan could be expanded significantly, while Aulëan probably can't be. --Jim Henry | Talk 19:35, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Boricua

message: I propose this article be a redirect to Puerto Rican. Boricua is commonly used to refer to people from Puerto Rico or of Puerto Rican descent. The article states that boricua is the term used for an amerindian people, possibly of Taíno descent. I personally have not heard an amerinidian population in PR calling themselves boricua. Joelito 18:03, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That may be so, but Wikipedia doesn't have an article that says so.  If you change that fact, the redirect can be undone.  At the moment, as far as Wikipedia knows, the word means only "Puerto Rican", so I will turn this into a redirect.  
-------
I also disagree and believe the articles should be kept seperated,as the term Boricua refers to the Amerindian component or race of some Puerto Ricans. Some Puerto Ricans have a strong African infuence, and others still have predominatly Spanish or are Criollos (caucasion). 69.112.103.196 04:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't know about any of that.  I am turning this article into a redirect to Puerto Rico because we don't have any article about any other meaning.  Chrisrus (talk) 00:56, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Purpose of this article

message: This article should be merged to Puerto Rican. PERIOD. Patriotism aside, there is no literal or technical difference between Puerto Rican and Boricua. If we section-off articles based on loose topics (i.e., that Boricua is different from Puerto Rican), core articles will never receive the attention needed to elevate to GA or FA status.
Additionally, the information in this article is almost entirely POV, and I'd say 80% original research. We cannot use demographic statistics to present arguments, its against policy (WP:NOR), and these facts can be put to better use in the Demographics of Puerto Rico article, with a brief mention in the Puerto Rican article. 
My point is... Merge. Let's focus our energies into Puerto Rican to see if we can improve it. I've already merged the most important verifiable info to the Puerto Rican article. Any more information can be merged as long as it is referenced and is not original research (WP:A). - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 19:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Video tracking

message: I do not agree this page to be merged with motion estimation. Although somehow related, they are different concepts and shall not be confused with each other. Video tracking aims to track an object in sequential video frames; motion estimation tells the difference between two adjacent frames, but this difference might not necessary be the movement of real objects in the video. Two techniques serve different purposes: video tracking is heavily associated with computer vision, helping a computer to recognize objects in received video frames; motion estimation has nothing to do with the object recognition, it is mainly used as a video compression technique (see MPEG2 ). It might be arguable that techniques implementing motion estimation are useful for video tracking, but they are still conceptually different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alienbat (talk • contribs) 13:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Page move

message: "For video compression, key frames are divided into macroblocks. The motion model is a disruption of a key frame, where each macroblock is translated by a motion vector given by the motion parameters."
This is misleading. Firstly, the motion model has nothing to do with key frames. Motion is defined for any pair of frames (A, B) where B is not intra-only. Secondly, motion is defined at the prediction block level (a subdivision of a macroblock). Thirdly, there can be two motion vectors per prediction block.

Talk:ARJ

message: <U>I have found one incorrect statement and a few statements of questionable validity.</U>
I will correct the false one, which is (in indirect quotation):
* "<I>ARJ was popular because of its capability to make multi-volume archives.</I>" -  ARJ could create mutli-volume archives, but PKZIP also could. But ARJ's implementation was <B>much</B> simpler and more inituitive.
The questionable statements, which I do not dare to alter:
* "<I>ARJ also allowed the user to alter the level of an archive's compression, making it popular on small packet mail networks...</I>" - It is not clear if the writer meant that ARJ could <B>modify existing archive's</B> compression level (I doubt that this could ever be possible without re-packaging the archive), or that it simply had multiple choices for compression level when <B>making a brand new archive</B> (virtually every mainstream archiver had/has that).
*  "<I>A very interesting feature which seems to be missing from all the other popular archivers (March 2006), is the ability to add, delete and/or modify files in a multi-volume archive...</I>" - I have checked with WinRAR and it indeed can not do this with its RAR format. But someone should verify if ARJ really can do it.

Talk:The Shadow of Yserbius

message: This article's tone is very informal, it could use a sidebar, the individual sections are too short, and so I've requested a general clean-up of the article. I'll be working on rewriting it over the next week or so.
:In addition, while the recreation of the tavern is an awesome thing, the line "Yserbius.Org has recently placed the Tavern back in service. Fans and former players can now chat in the Tavern once more. Please visit Yserbius.Org for more detail" may be innapropriate for an encyclopedia entry. Specifically, it violates the 'Wikipedia is not an advertising service' guideline. For more information, see Wikipedia:Spam.

text: Sounds like there's only one person working on this page, creating the issue with the page, and fixing it themselves.  Actually, the 'Wikipedia is not an advertising service' guideline is mute since the Wiki allows you to have links to sites and pages outside of the wiki.  Besides, FarFromHomeFish, the online tavern is not online at Yserbius.org, due to lack of funds (or interest).  Being a former TSN'r, I really miss TSN/INN... but no one has ever replaced that INN-feel.  I think that the better edit would be to simply list a link to each attempt to provide a Tavern online, and (in the wiki equivalent to an HTML ALT) provide a short current description. -- formerly Aargh, dwarf barbarian, of TSN Yserbius.

Talk:Philosophy in the Bedroom

message: I don't think the dichotemy in the first paragraph is acurate. de Sade clearly intended his work to be considered pornographic and it is certainly not erotic in the traditional sense. Some people like Simmone de Beauvoir (Mrs Jean Paul Satre as Eric insists) have seen philosophy within the pornography but I don't think there is a serious argument that it is not pornographic.
The piece is 200 years old, so many of the cliches of modern pornography were not really cliches at the time. There was not a lot of pornography in circulation at the time to compare it to.
The other aspect of the work that should be brought out is that until authorized se-ed became part of the curriculum in the mid 60s/70s a large number of kids (and adults for that matter) were reading de Sade for sex-ed as it was one of the few places where it was considered.
Neil Fletcher, in his biography of Sade, made a good case for the work to be considered as satire. There have been other writers who have argued the satirical nature of many of Sade's works.

message: Dear All,
Elisabeth was mine, and many others' teacher of music, piano, and I'm sure many people's mentor, friend and for lots of others - family. I'd like to dedicate this page to her memory, a wonderful person, and an outstanding musician. In the weeks to come, I will try to gather as much info about her life (private and professional) as possible, but only as much as is appropriate for this kind of an article. I'd like to welcome everyone who knew her to contribute. Please also let me know if any of you would feel that this article about her is in any way inappropriate, or would like me to stop writing this. For my part, I sincerely believe that she would happily approve of this - remember, she started to use e-mail and internet well above the age of 80.

Talk:Germanic kingship

message: The lede implies that this is an obsolete (or at least dubious) historical theory, but the main body of the article doesn't make it clear what is or is not accepted by modern historians. Indeed, it seems that the only doubts about the theory are expressed as a footnote in the lede, and the use of the word "alleged" in the first section heading.  Nor is it clear if the "Later Developments" are also suspect. I think this needs to be restructured to describe:
# The known facts (or at least, the known historical descriptions of the institution).
# The 19th/early 20th century theories about the institution.
# The modern academic view (detailing both the flaws with the older research, and what people now think "Germanic Kingship" was actually like).
I'd also suggest restoring the etymology (removed a couple of years ago by an anon).  IMO, the origins of the words used to describe social institutions typically indicate something about what the people who named it thought about it, or what they claimed it was, so it is relevant to the article.

thread_title:  Short novel? 

message: I've changed the time period for the novel from 2030 to 2040 and removed the reason (Jeff Baker being a student in the 1970's).  Also changed the time between Misspent Youth and Pandora's Star to 340 years for the same reason.
The reason for this change is because of what is said in the prologue to Pandora's Star:
"When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were landing on the moon, they had to hurriedly take manual control of their Lunar Module and fly it to safety when the designated landing site turned out to be strewn with boulders. This time, eighty-one years later, satellite imagery and orbital radar mapping had eliminated such uncertainty from the flight profile."
This gives a definate date of 2050 for the time period of the prologue and the below gives us an indication that Misspent Youth is set 7 to ten years earlier:
"Now that the early bugs had been ironed out of the hugely expensive procedure, they’d begun to rejuvenate people. The first man to receive the treatment, Jeff Baker, had died in a climax of global publicity; but in the following seven years there had been eighteen successes."'

Talk:E-Office

message: I cleaned up this article,
although I'm not sure I should have bothered.
The original was quite stubby:
e-Office is the acronym of electronic office. It is the process of eliminating paper and making all transactions electronic in an office. 
e-Office could in a limited way be just one or more individual personal computers or a network of persoanl [sic] computers, either on a LAN or on the WEB.
e-Office is expected to introduce transparency and accountability in any organization, thereby improving the service levels to customers - both internal and external.
Someone had (correctly) marked it with the {cleanup} tag.
However, I wouldn't object if someone nominated this article for deletion --
it seems more like a dictionary definition (if that)
than an encyclopedia entry.
Also, I'm afraid I've injected more opinion (especially in the new last paragraph)
than is appropriate.
Feel free to tone down or delete.

Talk:Devil's Lake State Park (Wisconsin)

message: </blockquote>
Wawanissee Point is nestled in the east range of the nationally renowned Baraboo Range of Sauk and Columbia counties in south-central Wisconsin. Commonly called the Baraboo Bluffs or Baraboo Hills, the Range covers some 144,000 acres that support 55,000 acres of hardwood forests, the largest tract of its kind remaining in the upper Midwest.
The Range is all that remains from the Ice Age of one of the most ancient rock outcrops in North America. It is an oval-shaped quartzite bedrock formation covered with trees amid the agriculturally dominated southern Wisconsin landscape. Millions of years ago glaciers covered most of southern Wisconsin and with their retreat, gave us Wawanissee Point and many other highlights of the Range, one of the most naturally spectacular sites in the Midwest.
Because of its unique geological history and impressive diversity of plant and animal life, the National Park Service in 1974 designated part of the Baraboo Range as a Natural National Landmark. The Nature Conservancy, 21 years later, designated the Baraboo Range as one of its Last Great Places, one of only 77 such sites in the world.
