message: Anas, you said in your edit summary "rm. "Arabic" - Arabic is unnecessary and will act as a translation, i.e. the subject's name is not originally written in Arabic. The country's Arabic script can be found from its original article." There is no such article linked here, where is it? Chris 23:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Again there is no need for Arabic script. The name of the police body is written in French, originally. What I meant by "the country's Arabic script can be found from its original article" was that if people are looking for the Arabic script of the country's name, they can find it in the country's article; yes, I didn't check the article. —Anas talk? 18:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm the John Platten that wrote the software so have enough materials accumulated along the way to un-stub this to a full article.  The question is what do other people want to hear about?   Leave me a message here and I'll see to it sooner or later.   My fear so far has actually been to overdo my contribution and break Wikipedia rules in some way.  But the article is classified as a stub now which I guess is an invitation to put a bit more...  Opinions welcome on what that should be.

"The term itself was proposed by Janina Kaminska at the UK Home Office in 1984. It falls on the leading edge of or predates the general use of "e" for electronic and retains the "E-" it started with to this date."-- I see  that this is not cited, and may not be correct, as I see posts from 1981 in Google Groups using the term "email". -- 201.37.230.43 (talk) 22:22, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Gunshot residue

message: I am a new user and I do not know a lot about writing on Wikipedia. I have just added the requested paragraph about the paraffin test:
Before the use of the scanning electron microscope hot paraffin wax was used to take a cast of the suspect’s hand. The cast was then sprayed with a reagent giving a coloration with nitro-compounds from the partially burnt and unburnt propellant particles. This approach, introduced in 1933 by Teodoro Gonzalez of the Mexico City Police Laboratory, is called dermal nitrate or paraffin test, is no longer used in casework.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.47.217.116 (talk) 15:40, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

would add in more information in the organic gunshot residue section, and potentially add in a section for chemical

results section by focusing more on what GSR is, and separating the other information into its own section.

Talk:Gypsy cop

message: I have been the police for almost 12 years, in two (east coast) states, and I was also in a Security Force unit in the Marine Corps. I have never heard the term "Gypsy Cop". Maybe it's a west coast thing because the author mentioned "POST" which is popular on the west coast. Irregardless, I tried to legitimize this article with references. Unfortunately, the only things that googled linked it to, were "Copblock", activistpost, Urban Dictionary, etc... nothing respectable, reliable, or legitimate.

thread_title: Talk

message: I take it that a register is volatile memory, this must mean that the register in the IDE controller is set everytime the computer boots. 
So who sets it? The BIOS, the OS? A bootloader? Is it somehow part of a partition table.
Will partition tools (Partition Magic, GParted, fdisk, etc.) display the entire hd, or only the non-HPA area? If they dont show, then how does the user remove the HPA (lets say it has system restore software with Windows, and he knows he will only use Linux).
If you mount the HD as a secondary one, will the HPA still be hidden?
How does the software work, that removes the HPA? 
Lets say there is a partition in the HPA area, that contains system restore software, then... Is that partition, still written in the table of partitions in the MBR? Maybe it is listed there with a flag saying, "dont worry that I start off outside the disc, Im there alright, you just cant see me because of HPA".

message: Comes 80.177.49.33 to say "contaminated NOT decontaminated", and corrects the sentence to say:
:"The "Baker" shot created a large condensation cloud and spread much more radioactive water onto the ships than was expected; many of the surviving ships became too "hot" to be used or contaminated and eventually had to be sunk."
The sense of the sentence is that the ships had become too contaminated to be used and too contaminated to be decontaminated (which process involves human work on the vessel), and they were therefore sunk, after various other ideas failed to remedy the situation.

The photo was taken by in April, 1920 during the Prince of Wale's visit to Hawai'i.  Since Abigail H. K. Kawananakoa was born in 1903, she would have been just 17 years old at that time.  Clearly the lady in the picture is older than 17 years.
