message: The "West Philippine Sea" (WPS) is the Philippine government's official name for the body of water west of the Philippines.  Historically, this body of water was called "Champa Sea" before it was called "South China Sea" (SCS) by European explorers.  According to WP:PLACE, the most common English name for a place is preferred unless the name is widely disputed.
:To pick a nit, according to the Phil govt, after some amount of backing and filling about this, that name applies to the portion of that body of water which lies within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 07:53, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

*Understood, but it is a separate subject that could be expanded upon. There are multiple types of metas: checkpoints (puzzles collect information in sequence), cascades (answers to one puzzle form the clues for another), and so on.

Talk:Federated identity

message: I suggest linking information about Eduroam - the federated identity system in use in Europe, Australia and Canada  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.100.113.215 (talk) 12:57, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to EduRoam example 

message: The definition of “federated identity” cited says this:
When a user affiliated with a member of a federation requests a protected resource from another member organization, the user is prompted for identifying information including his “home” organization. This request is passed to the home organization,  which verifies the user’s credentials and asserts to the requesting organization that  the user has been authenticated. 
This is contradicted by the examples of centralised identity providers, where the user is *not* prompted for their choice of provider: only an explicitly-supported specific provider can be used.
So it is not sufficient to have “a common set of policies, practices and protocols in place to manage the identity and trust into IT users and devices across organizations” as the article currently states. Crucial to a *federated* system is surely that the parties do not need to approve on a party-by-party basis, but only that the party is a participant in the federation.
This would mean that systems prompting for *explicitly* an exclusive set of identity providers – e.g. Facebook, Google, GitHub – are by definition not federated identity systems, but centralised-identity systems.

message: Fitzgerald, either unwittingly or as a literary device, changes the month in which Gloria Gilbert's birthday falls. In Book 2, Chapter 3, 'Retrospect',"Gloria would be twenty-six in May." However, later in the novel, in Book 3, Chapter 2, 'Further Adventures With 'Heart Talks', the sentence "She would be twenty-nine in February." is repeated twice to highlight the crisis which Gloria is having over her loss of youth.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dewey56 (talk • contribs) 20:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Gloria's Birthday

message: Fitgerald, F. Scott. (1922) The Beautiful and Damned. Charles Scribner's Sons.
A Bilphist--one who practices or believes in the idealogy of Bilphism--is a concept invisioned by F. Scott Fitzgerald in his 1922 "portrait of the noveaux riches," The Beautiful and Damned.  What actually constitutes Bilphist beliefs is only vaguely alluded to by Fitzgerald.  Gloria's mother is a self-proclaimed Bilphist and makes comments as to the age of other characters souls.  She describes her daughter of having a particularily "young soul" while Richard Caramel, a family relation, is described as having a "very old soul".  Aside from these comments made by Mrs. Gilbert in the early pages of the novel, a more insightful description of Bilphism does not occur until the last third of the book when Gloria proclaims to Anthony that she is a Bilphist.  This proclamation causes Anthony great disbelief that Gloria could "believe that stuff" because it's "fantastic" and that he considers Gloria to be an agnostic.  He belittles Gloria's claim by stating, "you'd laugh at any orthodox form of Christianity-and then you come out with the statement that you believe in some silly rule of reincarnation".  Anthony continues on to claim that Bilphism is a faith that "appeals to the reason...of a lot of hysterical women," and calls it "mental garbage."  
Aside from Fitzgerald making clear Anthony's opinions toward Bilphism, what Bilphism actually is, is described only as a belief in reincarnation.Akbadass4life (talk) 20:43, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm planning on removing the 'notability' tag just added to the article.  The The Notability guidelines for inclusion of musical artists states, Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles,unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article.  Linderman has been in two notable bands (The Dead Milkmen and Burn Witch Burn), but has also also maintained a public persona through journalism and blogging.

Talk:NAND gate

message: According to my Introduction to computer design textbook the Truth table on wikipedia for the NAND gate is incorrect.  My textbook claims that the output will only be high if both inputs are low.  Wikipedia says that the output will only be low if both inputs are high.  could someone please check to make sure which is correct.
:: Um.. Check your text book again - this page is correct. A NAND gate is the inversion of an AND gate - AND is 1 when both inputs are 1, NAND is NOT-1 (0) when both inputs are 1. Fresheneesz 08:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: comments

message: I am a Computer Engineering student well versed in logic design.  As I was reading this page, I noticed a few semantic inconsistencies in the 'Implementation' section.  Following is the original text:
The NAND gate is the easiest to manufacture, and also has the property that any other logic gate can be made from a combination of NAND gates.
My suggested version:
The NAND gate is the easiest to manufacture, and also has the property of functional completeness.  That is, any other logic function (AND, OR, etc.) can be implemented using only NAND gates.
My reasoning is that first of all, the inclusion of 'Functional completeness' is a lot more informative, and it promotes further research on the topic.  Additionally, the statement "any other logic gate can be made from a combination of NAND gates" is partially false.  When you use NAND gates to carry out a function, you are not "making a logic gate".  You are instead producing the same output that the other gate would normally produce.  A gate is a discreet hardware entity, while a circuit made from a combination of NANDS is not.  I would have done this on my own, but being a major change I thought I'd get approval first.

message: Strictly speaking, Lady Castlewood is not Henry's cousin, but his cousin's wife.   What makes the marriage disturbing from the 20th century point of view is that while growing up, Henry seemed to regard Lady Castlewood as his foster-mother (and Beatrix as his foster-sister).  Apparently, in Thackeray's or Esmond's time (before Freud), marrying or flirting with your adoptive family was not considered incest.

It is too long and soap-opera like, and the characters are not all that appealing. The death of Clive's first wife in childbirth is just too convenient.
