Talk:An Essay Towards a Real Character, and a Philosophical Language

message: I added a source for the example words from Wilkins language, is this the correct format for references on wikipedia?
Sjf, 17:10, 4 February 2006
The following book goes into great detail about the developments that influenced Wilkins and others: Knowlson, James (1975) Universal Language Schemes in England and France, 1600-1800, University of Toronto Press.  This book has almost 70 pages of bibliography and notes.
For a full chapter about Wilkins and his project, see: Eco, Umberto (1995) The Search for the Perfect Language, Oxford: Blackwell.
In _Gulliver's Travels_, the Grand Academy of Lagado was Jonathan Swift's satire of the kinds of projects discussed in Knowlson's book.
Leibniz visited England and was sympathetic to Wilkins' project.  He also studied Chinese characters.  The hexagrams of the I Ching (or Yi Jing) inspired Leibniz to invent binary arithmetic.  See G. W. Leibniz, _Writings on China_, translated by D. J. Cook & H. Rosemont, Chicaco: Open Court.
I don't have time to write this entry, but it's worth a more sympathetic treatment.  173.68.50.234 (talk) 01:33, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

message: There seems to be an error in facts on the longest filibuster in Senate history until 1964.  In the wiki article filibuster, Senator Strom Thurmond is identified for setting a record in 1957 by filibustering the Civil Rights Act of 1957 for 24 hours and 18 minutes.  However, in this article Senator Byrd is identified with a lesser record in 1964. - Mitchumch 17:20, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The filibuster for CRA-1964 was the longest in Senate history, lasting 73 days.  Thurmond's record, made during the filibuster for CRA-1957, is for the longest single speech during a filibuster.  The article as it stood before this note was deleted was incorrect, but this filibuster was certainly a "major event", so I have restored it, with accurate wording.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JPMcGrath (talk • contribs) 20:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:UK Hazard Perception Test

message: "Excessive clicking will result in that question's score being discounted from the total (the exact threshold is 25 clicks in each clip)."
I read this before going into my theory test this morning. I went in thinking I had a budget of 25 clicks to use in each clip, and so felt free to liberally sprinkle extra clicks in my responses, just to be on the safe side. On the double hazard clip, I was disqualified for inappropriate clicks, although I was far below the magical "25 clicks". There must be some more complex system in place. Googling "25 clicks" + DSA produces only this article and its mirrors. I'm taking it out as it is either entirely inaccurate, or is missing enough of the story to be misleading. I don't think it should come back unless someone can find a reliable source and can fill in the whole story.  Gantlord 12:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It is more accurate to say that the software will detect 'rhythmic clicking' rather than the number of clicks recorded, it's meant to be a failsafe to prevent cheating by just constantly clicking, you are meant to 'engage' with the scenarios mspice2215 82.34.55.108 11:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
