thread_title:  Uhh... 

message: I'm wondering if eventually these articles oughtn't be combined into one called 'cellulose-spun fabrics' or something. The main difference between lyocell and modal seems to be that they're made by different companies and lyocell's sold in the US and UK whereas modal's sold in continental Europe and its manufacturers specify the type of cellulose they use.
Google turned up a few pages of interest for anyone interested in organising/adding:
 
That second link indicates a merger between the two companies. I've linked to each article from each, which is just as good as merging till some more research is done—they might turn out to be very different, or used for different purposes, or something. Njál 13:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  New image 

message: The first sentence, "Old age is the range of ages for people nearing and surpassing life expectancy" is not correct. Life expectancy is a mathematical concept that is not the same as maximum natural lifespan. If we are talking about life expectancy at birth, then it is heavily skewed by child morality. So if half of people die at 0 and the rest live to 60 then life expectancy is 30, but you would hardly call someone who's 30 "old" under those circumstances. And if we're talking about life expectancy at your current age, rather than life expectancy at birth, then it's still obviously wrong because your current age can never exceed your life expectancy at that age.

Talk:Protocol stack

message: I would very much like to see the "Protocol Stack" entry remain. Even though I've heard this term and communications protocol terms bantered about frequently, I didn't know they were essentially identical. It's also a good, basic explanation that shows how the "stack" analogy comes into play.
I agree that the idea of a protocol stack deserves separate mention from a communications protocol.  A protocol stack, as a software artifact, is distinct from the communications protocol itself, which is just an idea or set of an ideas.  The bigger problem with the article is that it is poorly written and as a result unclear, and the ascii-art diagram does little to help matters. 192.80.211.11 14:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Keep

message: http://www.personalinfocloud.com/2008/01/the-elements-in.html defines a "stack" to be a "a collection of elements that comprise a whole set of services," and yesterday Linus Torvalds in an interview panning Leopard said "Software is really expensive to produce and takes years. If you're a hardware company you can't really afford that, you either have to be controlled from the outside or take a pre-existing software stack that you can make changes to."  If this is really an emerging new use of the term "stack", generalizing the natural concept of a protocol stack, is it time to update this article to reflect it?  Or are these just isolated instances of a usage that may not go anywhere?  --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 00:05, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Kölsch (beer)

message: to match a similar section in Altbier I have created an Outside Germany section -- the references to other UK and American breweries could be moved into that section to keep in the same format as that other page (since the beers are often paired in the popular imagination) but I was not entirely confident of my wikipedia skills to move something from one section to another, especially when using a slow laptop. --Teledyn (talk) 19:02, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kölsch outside Germany 

message: I'm a little curious about a statement in the article: "Kölsch waiters (Köbes) in traditional pubs are allowed, and indeed expected, to speak the local dialect..."
Are waiters in other German pubs normally not allowed to speak the local dialect, as this seems to imply? Maitreya (talk) 09:51, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No, but the sentence indicates that they are allowed to use rough language with customers. I changed "allowed" to "encourage," though, to avoid this misunderstanding. Cheers, Mabuse (talk) 20:24, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

text: You may not be familiar with this particular tradition. The fact is that a rude attitude is to be expected from the Köbes—indeed, it is part of the experience that they will badmouth you in jest and make disparaging comments about you, so I think this merits inclusion in the article. Prost, Mabuse (talk) 01:59, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

text: Whether or not it's true, the fact that opposing points of view are being expressed here indicates that the matter is controversial. The statement should therefore have a reference or be deleted. Lancevortex (talk) 15:07, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, added the citation tag to the sentence. The German WP entry on http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Köbes states that their reputation for "gruff manners" derives from the fact that Köbesse were historically not professional waiters but rather brewers' apprentices bringing the beer into the pub area.

Talk:Perspective projection

message: Perspective projection and Perspective (graphical) seem to basically be about the same subject, I think they should be merged (i.e. take what contents is useful from the shorter one and work into the longer one), and decide which name to keep. I also did some literature search and fixed some factual errors with proper references in some of the smaller projection pages (i.e. linked from that views template) recently, so likely there's also still mistakes in the bigger articles (perspective and orthographic projection) - hopefully this can all be cleaned up eventually. --Allefant 20:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I think the [Perspective projection]] should probably just be merged & redirected into Perspective (graphical), just as linear perspective was.  They all discuss the exact same thing.  The "projection" template actually seems to be the main thing that Perspective projection has that Perspective (graphical) does not.  The template, however, seems less important than the information that is already at the head of the article (the diagram of perspective & the table of contents).  Perhaps it should be slipped into the "basic concept" section?Sir Isaac Lime 14:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I think there's actually no information in the current Perspective projection text which is not already here, also the figure doesn't seem to fit the paragraph besides it. The list of concepts likely isn't that useful either as they are already used in the article (I think they all are), and that external spanish link should go away anyway. So the merge should be rather trivial. Whether or not Template:Views is really needed is another question - I'd just place it on Perspective (graphical) initially, and if it's not liked, maybe it should eventually be phased out from all articles who currently have it. --Allefant 15:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

GA is not too high a bar for this article as it stands, if some of the missing citations can be fixed up.
