thread_title: Obit

message: Is this the best name for the article? I ask because I'd like to create a category for this gentleman in the Commons, and I think its name should match.
My own preference would be Mitchel H. Mark, because that is what he is called on his mausoleum, and in his obituaries in The New York Times and the New York Tribune (col. 1). But he was often referred to as "Mitchell" as well, so it's a judgement call. It does seem to me that his middle initial was used most of the time. Vzeebjtf (talk) 23:47, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Váli (son of Loki)

message: Merger of Váli (the article on Váli son of Óðinn) into this article, as proposed there last month, would not be a good idea. If you accept that there are two sons named Váli, they are sons of different fathers and obviously not the same person. However, Ursula Dronke has made a good case that this Váli, the son of Loki, is an invention on the part of Snorri based on the variant text of "Völuspá" in Hauksbók: p. 76 in the introductory material to her edition of the poem. I will add this to this article. But if you accept her contention that this Váli is in fact spurious, then again the other article should not be merged here. So in neither view is a merger with this article appropriate. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:44, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Proposed merger 

message: An IP editor made the article a redirect to Váli, arguing that there is only one Váli. I have undone the merger, but I have added "some versions" before "Norse mythology" in the lede. As the article states, Dronke argues that the Prose Edda Váli son of Loki rests on a misinterpretation; but nonetheless he is there in one of our major sources, so he—and the argument he is spurious—deserves an article. I'm pinging , the only other participant in the above discussion, and I'll inform the IP editor on their talk page since they can't be pinged. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:54, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't mind at all! Again, the other way worked alright - but you are obviously experienced at this and have a better handle on things.

thread_title:  Unannounced bold merger in reverse direction 

message: This part of the article is unclear:
> It is likely that this was Snorri's source, and that he interpreted the manuscript text Vála vígbǫnd as "bonds from Váli's act of slaughter", thus inventing a second Váli.
Why would "Váli's act of slaughter" imply a second Váli? I suppose it's saying "Snorri had other sources saying Loki's son was killed by his brother, and Snorri (mis)interpreted this source as saying Loki's son was killed by Váli, and thus concluded there must be a son of Loki named Váli. (I.e., a second Váli besides just the son of Odin.) But if that's what is intended, the article could make that more clear. Tim314 (talk) 18:38, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Michael Tolliver Lives

message: I've restored the "advert" and "inappropriate tone" tags to the article, pending improvement. The reviews were added to the article before the novel came out as a way to provide some information. However, now a formal plot summary needs to be written; the Amazon.com summary is inappropriate for this purpose because it includes the author's POV. It can and should certainly be quoted where appropriate. A "Reviews" section/list is also inappropriate and needs to be adapted into some kind of sourced analysis or reception section or merged into the lead section. Again, this was perhaps OK before the novel came out, but now the article needs to conform to a more standard format. I'll give it a shot when I can. — TAnthonyTalk 17:50, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Duplex printing

message: The article reads that an antiquated term is not commonly used in the workplace. Does that refer to single sided printing or duplexing? I consider single/double sided printing to be fairly often used (not an appropriate linguistic measure, but still). 76.198.38.250 (talk) 00:49, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Antiquated Term

message: Also known as "Fast two-sided printing". The article says "Higher volume printers may effectively have two print engines in a single device, and are able to print both sides of the paper in a single pass." This is called "double-engine duplex", see also HP: What is Duplex Printing and 
How Does a Printer Duplexer Work and Printer and Copier Specification Terminology Explained. There is another method for fast duplex printing with single-engine duplex: Let's say we want to print 4 pages on 2 sheets. First, we print page 1 on sheet 1. Then, we print page 3 on sheet 2, and at the same time, flip sheet 1 in the duplex path. Then, we print page 2 on sheet 1, and at the same time, flip sheet 2. Then, we print page 4 on sheet 2. So effectively, 2 consecutive sheets are interleaved for printing, doubling the print speed. This results in a continuous output of sheets, with (almost) the same pages-per-minute speed as simplex printing. The downside of this method is the higher mechanical complexity (lower monthly duty cycle), because we still need a page-flip like slow duplex. The upside of this method are cheaper and smaller printers. A rule of thumb: Slow duplex is about 2 times slower than simplex, in terms of pages-per-minute. Known printers with this "interleaved duplex printing" feature: HP LaserJet 400 and 500 series with JetIntelligence (downside: expensive toner with chip), Konica Minolta Bizhub 4700P: Print speed Up to 47 ppm (A4), Autoduplex speed Up to 40 ppm (A4) = 15% slower than simplex (downside: expensive toner). See also: HP: The new HP LaserJet 400 and 500 series with JetIntelligence has the fastest two-sided printing in class and Canon: Fast Duplex Printing and HP LaserJet 200 series printers and Keypoint Intelligence: HP LaserJet M200 Printers and MFPs: Fastest Two-Sided (Duplex) In-Class. TODO: find websites that compare simplex and duplex printing speeds (and printing costs) of laser printers. websites like geizhals.de show only the simplex printing speed. TODO: how does duplex printing work in high-end digital printers? like Konica Minolta Bizhub Press 1250. probably they use "double-engine duplex". Milahu (talk) 15:03, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
