thread_title: First comment

message: Bits of this are word-for-word from newworldencyclopedia; specifically the "unusual feature" sentence with the rainy day picture. I don't know which came first but now the whole article is suspect. That being so, I question whether the editor who put it together would know enough to say what was was unusual and what not. Moreover, there are no references. The words "hoaky concoction" come to my mind, and such an approach seems irresponsible and therefore juvenile to me. I know, there are a lot of non-juvenile nominally juveniles about, but I doubt this editor is one. If he knew enough to write these facts (if such they are) himself he would know enough to reference them. I don't see the point of this approach, as no one gains anything from it. I did look for the concrete strip across the many pictures we have, and didn't find it. However elsewhere at Olympia the caretakes have covered valuable mosaics with sand or a sand-like stuff to protect them, so let me check outside pictures. I also will go over the presentation looking for copying and finding refs.Botteville (talk) 00:09, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Antiochus I of Commagene

message: I'm not prepared to work on this article. I know too little about the subject of the biography, Hermeticism, or Syrian/Anatolian ancient history. Were it either Greek or Roman or, for that matter Israel/Herod of the era, I might well take a chance. However, in reading I noticed that the first sentence in the third paragraph under the heading Mount Nemrut lacks a verb, rendering it nonsensical. (Antiochus’ version of Hermeticism where his remains were buried.)
There are several words which plausibly fit into the sentence: indicated, dictated, forecast, or recommended. However, each of them carries a different freight of meaning and again, I don't know which is the most appropriate.
Fortunately, I did not notice any other grammatical errors.

The FIDE Caissa Chess Awards, as referenced in the article, were established to recognize a variety of members of the international chess community.

thread_title: y-axis label/units

message: Shouldn't this (or future versions of this graph) be a scatterplot? I don't think a line graph is really appropriate for this type of data. ~ Booya Bazooka 20:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Type of graph 

message: Type question first: This type of graph is appropriate because the underlying assumption that two editors with very close edit counts will, all other things being equal, have very close probabilities of RfA success, is likely to be true in real life on Wikipedia.  If a scatterplot was used, it would show masses of points along the top and bottom axes which would likely only be distinguishable around the 500-2000 edit range (where there would be almost none at the top).  With all this said, what exactly the line is which is being plot is another story, and which relates to the y-axis comment.
Katalaveno's observation is correct; this is merely a typo probably.  Their suggestion would work, as would removing the "%" and calling it instead "probability".  I do have a question for Durin (the creator of this plot, unless I mistake).  What type of smoothing or binning did you do to get the values that are actually plotted?  I would suggest that it is "undersmoothed"; it in reality is likely less jumpy.  With that said, I would like to ask a big favor: Do you have the original data for this (that is, the user, their EC at RfA opening, and RfA result)?  I would love to have a crack at this...

Talk:Old man's car

message: The article currently only mentions that Buick "is an old person's car is a notion that's constantly reinforced by the media".  Not to do OR, but I had to rent a ~2000-2002 Buick, and I got the really strong impression that it had the softest suspension of any car I'd ever ridden in (soft suspensions are sort of the antithesis of a high-performance car, making it more difficult to corner or otherwise grip the road).  My assumption was that Buick recognizes what its primary market is (older buyers), and that it had responded by providing a more comfortable ride, at the expense of being more precisely maneuverable.  Is there any evidence that Buick's perception as an "old person's car" is intentional, and that the car's specs have been shaped around that, and it isn't just based on what their marketing department does, or isn't just based on public perception?  --Interiot 01:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Is this article title the best one?

message: The the discontinuation of Hexachrome based on Adobe not supporting a Rosetta based plug-in seems misleading. The article indicates that the plugin required Rosetta - a technology developed by Apple as part of Mac OS X to transition from PowerPC to Intel based processors. Specifically Rosetta ran code compiled for PowerPC on Intel. As of Mac OS X 10.6 Rosetta was no longer included by default. The lack of support for Rosetta based plug-ins was necessarily for Adobe to transition to Apple's newer technologies. The lack of support for Pantone's plug-in could be attributed to Apple & Adobe transitioning to new technology too quickly or to Pantone neglecting to update the plug-in to meet current technology; however, the statement that the Hexachrome system was discontinued because Adobe refused to support it may cause readers to think that Adobe may have had prejudice against the system.
Robartsd (talk) 19:22, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adobe plug-in support 

message: The statement regarding light cyan & magenta inkjet inks being incorporated for the same purpose as hexachrome is entirely false. As such I will change it to be a contrast between the two systems. 
Hexachrome: Expands the CMYK gamut to include more deeply saturated and vibrant oranges and greens which are either difficult or impossible to produce with CMYK.
CMYKcm (& CMYKcmyk): SMOOTHS the CMYK gamut providing more subtle transitions between colors. NO extension of the gamut is provided. 
- Jon (Sorry I don't know the markup for the talk pages. I barely know the markup on the regular pages.)
I believe that some inkjet printer makers have also added colors to increase gamut in printers targeted at photo printing - though the simple addition of light cyan & magenta is much more common.
