Talk:Credit bureau

message: This page separates out consumer debt rating organizations from credit rating agencies, which rate corporate and sovereign debt.  While theoretically similar in that both types of organizations try to assess the likelihood that a debtor will repay a loan, they are substantially different in how they operate and who they rate.

thread_title: U.S. vs Rest of World

message: All over the U.S.,credit bureaus are actually collection agencies that transmit data to the credit reporting agencies (Experian, Equifax and Trans Union).  There are hundreds of credit bureaus around the globe.  Experian, Equifax and Trans Union are credit reporting agencies as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA § 603. Definitions; rules of construction [15 U.S.C. § 1681a]).  Consumer attorneys have attempted to make credit bureau and credit reporting agency synonymous in order to capitalize on suits against collection agencies, claiming their name is misleading to the least sophisticated consumer and a Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) violation.  But they have been unsuccessful, creating landmark cases to support the above.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.234.128.246 (talk) 20:21, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Gen (Street Fighter)

message: *Gen's official fighting style is referred to as "Ansatsuken", which is actually a generic term that describes any martial art used for killing.  This is part of the reason why I nominated Goutetsu-ryū Ansatsuken for AfD. Danny Lilithborne 19:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ansatsuken

message: A few weeks ago I wrote up the story section to say that Gen allowed Akuma to survive their fight so that they may have a proper rematch later. That later match ended with Akuma granting the now-weakened Gen an honourable death. This is drawn from the Udon comic series, which is considered to be canon.
That replaced the idea that Gen actively tracked Akuma down, and that Gen's whereabouts are currently unknown. Someone has since restored that version. I don't want to change it back if this version is more correct, so is it? I'm not familiar with it; where does it come from? Dunjohn (talk) 20:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Fleming's left-hand rule for motors

message: How can any reader be expected to put any faith in an article that has the title of "Fleming's left-hand rule for motors" and then follows up with an initial first sentence that reads "Fleming's right-hand rule for electric motors ..." - I am unable to contribute to which is the correct rule in order to fix the error as I had hoped to learn this information for myself from the article.Norlesh (talk) 08:38, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Error in first sentence of article

message: I think there is still some confusion in the paragraph that states "if the electrons flow away from you..." because the current and the electrons flow in different directions, and that, as stated below, this Left Hand Rule uses the postive-to-negative flow convention.  It then goes on to say the electrons want to move 'to the left', which I don't follow.  The answer is correct, but by using the electron flow and not the current, you can't use the left hand rule!  Right?  Lordjim13 (talk) 10:05, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As I understand it, the Left Hand Rule simply uses the current flow in the direction it was assumed to go in - Positive to Negative (hence the "classical", although this has since been changed in the article). I don't know the history of this, but I'd assume that it is kept that way purely because it isn't possible for many people to bend their second fingers back in the CORRECT direction (negative to positive). Of course, that would need a source :-) hurdygurdyman1234 (talk) 21:00, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: There, I've done it. It's not perfect, so I look forward to any polishing that others are able to do.

(My skills aren't up to this, I'm afraid). I did think of moving the article to "Fleming's left hand rule and Fleming's right hand rule", but have left it as "Fleming's left hand rule for motors" for the present. What do others think?

Talk:Devil's coup

message: The description of this coup seems confused to me.  It states, "Spades are trumps and the lead is in dummy: The ♥3 is lead."  This makes East, with the Q 4 of spades, the declarer.  Then it says, "If East declines to ruff high then declarer ruffs and cashes the Ace and King" which is a statement that denies East is declarer and states that North or South are declarer.  You see the mis-statement? Possibly the seat of the declarer should be mentioned very early in an otherwise fine article. Terryeo 19:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Opp, this statement I just made doesn't make sense.Terryeo 12:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

text: The 3 under discussion is the spade and the heart suit is not pictured nor under discussion. "The lead is in dummy". Good fine.  Which position is dummy?  Well, it goes on to tell us.  The spade 3 is led.  Since we already know the lead is in dummy and the spade three is led, then we know that seat which is holding the spade 3 is the dummy.  "The lead is in dummy".  Good, now the dummy will lead because the lead is in dummy. Okay, good. What card is led?  The spade 3 is led.  Therefore East is dummy and has led the spade 3. Terryeo 11:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Erm, doesn't 3♥ denote the three of hearts rather than spades?Duja 14:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Also, for reader's convenience, in contract bridge diagram convention South is always the declarer and North is dummy. Duja 14:10, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yep, yep, yep.  I haven't edited the article but simply changing the spade 3 to the heart 3 makes the article accurate and understandable. Terryeo 00:25, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Information bias (psychology)

message: Reads like an op ed.  Seems unencyclopediac. Mathiastck 19:27, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it possible that the case is just badly explained?  The way I read it, the ET scan is not absolutely worthless (and I realize that the article is written to suggest that it is worthless).  It is just that the most cost-efficient and expedient course of action is to first administer the treatment for globemia.  You have 80% of being right and stop the medical expenses right there.  I'm assuming there are no serious side-effects.  (Yes, I'm assuming.  I think we all agree that the current article is quite sketchy.)  If you find that the globemia treatment does not work, then you can run the ET scan to decide between the two other diseases.  Although it is probably still more cost-effective to just try another treatment.  If you run one ET scan before doing any treatment, you gain no new information.  It is true that running it multiple times would help decide what the disease is but then the article mentions the high cost of the ET scan. If somebody who has access to the original case would rewrite this article, that would be nice.  --Kartavyam (talk) 14:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Whether encyclopedic or not, lines like "– what is not worth knowing is not worth knowing." & "Information that is not worth knowing is not worth knowing." is just bad writing.

Talk:O'Donoghue's Pub

message: What is that above? Is this text taken directly from a book? As it is - this article sounds like an advertisement for the pub. I know The Dubliners played there, but is it really notable enough for an article?
The main bar stretches from the entrance to the rear snug.  Its floors are Liscannor flagstone atop of which rests a wooden bar divided by large Mahogany panels.  The rear snug has benches and the ubiquitous squat bar stools found all over Ireland.  This dimly lit pub attracts both tourists and locals alike.  In 1988 O’Donoghue’s was purchased by well known Publican, Oliver Barden, who has allowed the pub to continue the musical traditions that has made it one of the most popular pubs in a city with no shortage of great places to drink.
What's this nonsense? This is an encyclopedia - it deals in facts not flowery language. "attracts both tourists and locals alike" - alike what? and it's a pointless statement anyway - it could be applied to every pub. What's with the make of the floor and the bar stools? Is this useful at all? Have you any facts to clarify that it's one of the most popular pubs?
