Talk:Rebecca MacKinnon

message: This article was vandalised twice by David D. Weinberger of Harvard Law School Berkman Center for Internet and Society.  He may think he's entitled to do that because of who he is, but it was really pretty lame. You can't make a meaningful point about how Wikipedia compares with traditional reference sources by vandalising an article about someone who wouldn't come close to getting an article in one.

text: The paragraph does not belong in the article.  WP:ASR#Articles are about their subjects tells us that articles are about their subjects; they are not about the articles themselves.

Talk:Racter

message: I understand the general disbelief of a computer program writing such a book. However, I think this article needs to be revised as it gives a very strong biased view that the book was not composed by the program, however provides no evidence for this.
-- I agree with the person above. I owned a copy of Racter and, while it was never able to do some of the things seen in the book, it was a lot more than just Mad Libs. In fact, it was less a chatterbot and more a grammarbot because while you could 'chat' with it, its responses usually made no sense in context. While coherent in and of themselves, they were clearly generated from random words arranged to be grammatically correct. Racter was an impressive program for its day and I think that the book was less a hoax and more a product of very selective editing of many, many pages of Racter's ramblings.69.231.93.176 15:10, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I could be mistaken, its been a long time, but didn't a few copies of the album cover with the middle finger get released in the first issue? I recall when I was buying the LP in the 1980s sometime, I saw some copies with the middle finger which were far more expensive than the airbrushed cover. I think the story was that the cover came out originally with the finger but when the label noticed it they had it "fixed" in subsequent printings.

Talk:CHIN Radio/TV International

message: This article was nominated for deletion on March 10, 2006. The result of the debate, which can be found here, was to keep and to merge CHIN (AM) and CHIN-FM into this article. Flowerparty■ 03:14, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations, this merge was not appropriate. North American radio station articles have to be titled with the legal broadcast call sign of the radio station, which means the (AM) or -FM suffixes have to be present in the article title, and the word "radio" cannot be. And the precedent is already clearly established that two stations which share the same call sign but offer distinct programming from each other get two articles, not a merged one. Bearcat 19:15, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The merger was with CHIN radio, the company, not the individual radio stations. Rather than have three articles saying the same thing, it was deemed appropriate to merge the three into a single article. Atrian 20:30, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A distinction without a difference. The reality is that there's a clear precedent for how Wikipedia is supposed to handle broadcast radio stations, and this merged article doesn't meet it. This article also describes CHIN Radio as a single radio station broadcasting on two frequencies, which it most certainly is not — it's two different radio stations with the same callsign (which is an entirely normal phenomenon in North American broadcasting). Again, the precedent in such a case, per Wikipedia:WikiProject Radio Stations is that two stations get two articles, not a single merged one. The company also owns a radio station in Ottawa; are we going to merge that into this one article too? Bearcat 00:08, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Terminology

message: In the past it has often been the "failures" that become collectible. It is likely that in the future, the 88-89 Reatta will become interesting because of its "excessive" electronics.
As new cars become more and more computerized, the Reatta and Buick should be recognized as the leading edge of this movement that GM pioneered with digital engine control in 1981. With nine major digital modules, numerous other modules stuffed everywhere under the hood, inside the car and even in the trunk, its own LAN, and a touchscreen control (which, for some functions, presents a digital keyboard) Buick took digital automotive electronics to a whole new level.
Too much and too far, it was decontented somewhat each successive model year losing the touchscreen after 1989 models (perhaps because sunlight readable CRTs were not available when the convertible was introduced). In any event, after the first two years, the Reatta became much more conventional.
Paradoxically, all of the electronics make the first Reattas very easy for a knowlegable person to work on since every major module has its own self-diagnostics that allows easy pinpointing of faults. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.210.57.64 (talk) 22:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
