message: There are two papers, "Focus" (general) and "Focus Money" (concerning money, finances, economy, markets, stocks, law, taxes, and so on). From the internetwebsite from "focus" you can also go to "focus money". They do not take care if the information they give is "political correct" or if the information pleases the gouverment oder the society or the so called intellectuells or the mainstream or the establishmement. That is it what makes them strong and really interesting.--91.52.165.218 (talk) 20:57, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Focus Money 

message: I noticed that they sometimes delete articles and then create a new version of the article, with major factual changes and a new URL - it's not the old article yet there's no indication that the revisions have been made- it's all surreptitious.  I can prove this.  To my eye, Focus' behavior is very reminiscent of Winston Smith's work in 1984's Minitrue. Legit news journalists/sources don't surreptitiously edit articles post-publication.  Specifics partly fleshed-out here.  Seems like quite a scandal to me, but I wonder if they have a reputation for reliability in the first place.  Is "facts, facts, facts" just a slogan, as it seems?  Or is it something typically taken seriously and my findings are anomalous?  For example, attributing some salacious information to two sources in one article, and then attributing to two different sources in another - very very sour taste in one's mouth.  (It would be difficult to put much of what I found in the article without violating SYNTH, so I don't plan to try.  Anyone good at that sort of thing.)--Elvey(t•c) 11:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Folar

message: This article was created by a Portuguese editor. The English in the article was not very good and not much effort had been made in the past to correct it. 
I have rewritten the article to make it easier to understand and to remove some "peacock terms". Describing making bread out of water, salt, eggs and flour as "alchemical" is an obvious exaggeration.
I have removed the geographical coordinates from this article. The article mentions Chaves but it is not an article about Chaves. There are no geographical coordinates in the articles about Cheddar cheese and Champagne (wine), they don't belong on articles about foods named after regions. --Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 06:10, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

With a Greek-Cypriot population of 80%, majority Greek Orothox religion and Greek language there is NOTHING Middle Eastern about this island nation. Please refrain from placing it in Middle East category as it is NOT Middle Eastern. Same goes for Georgia and Armenia. Both are technically part of Europe as they lie north of the Caucus Mountain range. Anything south is considered part of Asia.

Talk:Linkback

message: There are three types of Linkbacks - Pingbacks, Refbacks, and Trackbacks.  Here in Wikipedia, only two were referenced, and there was no article for Linkbacks in General.  I created an additional article to represent all three, added some missing material for the two that were in existence, and created the parent article, Linkback.  
I propose that we merge Pingback, Refback, and Trackback into a Linkback article, with redirects from each to the Linkback article.
What's your opinion?  - Mugs 11:40, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Tidying up

message: The three types of Linkback are now compared side-by-side in a table.  I have corrected a number of errors, eliminated some repetition, and added more detailed information on each of the three methods the better to exhibit their differences.  I have also eliminated some paragraphs that restated more colloquial usages without identifying them as such.  I have not propagated any of these changes to the other three articles, as I prefer to wait to see how the changes here are received first.
My opinion is that the separate articles devoted to the three methods would still be useful, as this table setup does not lend itself well to a more encyclopedic treatment of any of the three.  Another possibility would be separate sections for each, after the general discussion, within this article, with subsections: overview, nuts-and-bolts, advantages, disadvantages, vulnerabilities, and so on.

thread_title:  Trackback 

message: Related to this phrase:
:Validating the referrer on the other hand, according to web expert Tantek Çelik, creates the premises for a denial-of-service attack.http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20111122#l-387]
The DoS issue seems an exaggeration. In order to cause a DoS, an attacker will have to find thousands of refback-enabled sites an issue a GET request on each of them, which in turn will cause a single GET towards the target site. The amplification factor of the attack is 1, in other words the attacker is better off attacking the target directly instead of using such a complex scheme. The amplification factor can be reduced even further, by storing statistics about each unique referrer, and trigger the verification only when at least, say, 5 unique IPs were refered (though I'm not aware of software that implements this).
I do agree that, assuming amplification remains 1, the technique is an effective way to turn a DoS in a DDoS, which is harder to fight against. 192.88.166.35 (talk) 09:42, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Category talk:Sexuality in ancient Greece

message: After lengthy discussion at Talk:Alexander the Great, it was decided that, while Alexander's sexuality (and that of other Ancient Greeks) was a subject of significant commentary and a reasonable subject for categorization, the categories of the style "Category:Foo person" (particularly :Category:Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people) weren't appropriate, due to the anachronistic nature of these labels and the general scholarly lack of consensus on their applicability. (At the time of this posting, the conversation looked like this.)
The particular name of this category was chosen to avoid the stigma of the term "pederasty" as well as the euphemistic problems of the term "Greek love".
If this category ends up being a subcategory of :Category:LGBT history (a subject not discussed at Talk:Alexander the Great), please do note that adding any people in this category to :Category:Lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender people is and likely will continue to be contentious. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Next it discusses the collision frequencies which is already covered by the birthday paradox article. As very short fingerprints, such as ones of 32 bits, are usually not assumed to be unique, I don't see how this is relevant.

In 1999 there was some controversy regarding this site and others under the care of the
English Heritage organisation. The Cornish Stannary Parliament wrote to English Heritage asking them to remove all signs bearing their name from Cornish sites by July 1999 as they regard the ancient sites as Cornish heritage, not English. Over eleven months eighteen signs were removed by members of the Cornish Stannary and a letter was sent to English Heritage saying "The signs have been confiscated and held as evidence of English cultural aggression in Cornwall. Such racially motivated signs are deeply offensive and cause distress to many Cornish people".

Talk:Android (film)

message: Dr. Daniel arranges to have lunch with Maggie.  At lunch he explains to her a woman must be connected to his android while the woman is having sex.  The reason for this is never quite explained.  This will bring his life's work to completion.  Max watches and listenes to this interaction through the elaborate closed-circuit video system on board the spacecraft.  Max punches up a taped program, of the movie Metropolis, on another monitor.  Max compares the appearance of his creator, Dr. Daniel, with that of the scientist in Metropolis.  He then compares the image of the android in Metropolis with that of Maggie.  This is could be the height of the film and an amplification of the overall plot.  Metropolis is similar to that of Android such that in both films, the scientist creates his image of the ideal woman in the form of a machine or android.  The reference to Metropolis is also ironic since Android was a very low budget, and Metropolis was the most expensive silent film ever made.
