message: "Ireland is one of the last large inhabited islands in the world without a tunnel or bridge connection"
I find this incredibly hard to believe — bridges/tunnels are the exception, not the norm, and the only ones I can think of are in the UK/Japan/possibly America.

replies: text: I agree - it does sound unbelievable. I suggest remove it sooner rather than later. Off the top of my head, I can think of Madagascar, Iceland and Tasmania - I'm pretty sure (but haven't checked) that none of these have bridges/tunnels connecting them. --A bit iffy 03:46, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bilinear filtering

message: The sample code is wrong/misleading. You need the size of the source image and the size of the filtered image to apply a bilinear filter. Instead of "u *= tex.size;" you have to multiply it with a scale factor e.g. "fac=src->size/dst->size;". By the way I don't understand "so we must make three or four calculations of y, one for each channel". Three (or more) calculations for each pixel are needed but what is y? --SupperTina (talk) 17:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: HIST 2010 Early U.S. History

message: Blacks is used in the lede and elsewhere. It's inaccurate and non specific, especially since freeborn African-Americans were involved in the situation as well as black people in Africa. The "freeborn blacks" link links to Free people of colour, showing there is consensus on the terminology there. Pluralising a race is also informal language, which Wikipedia isn't a place for outside of quotes. I don't understand why changing it has been reverted multiple times by User:Anwegmann, could you explain further? In one edit summary you said it was "ahistorical terms" when it was changing the title of a section that wasn't a quote.
I suggest changing it to "African-Americans", "Black people" and "People of colour", with each term being used appropriately to make sure its accurate. Saying "blacks" is also quite dehumanising. commemorative (talk) 06:13, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "Black people" is also used elsewhere, showing consensus within the article. See section Efforts to relocate free black people other than to Africa. I simply can't see why the change would be reverted as it was. CommissarDoggo (talk) 13:39, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

message: The article referenced in the night vision section doesn't reference this at all, it only talks about advances in radar on the aircraft.
According to this thread the use of red lights supposedly gave the pilots better night vision as the photoreceptor rods in the eye are least affected by the longer wavelength (and hence lower energy) of red light. I haven't found a more reliable source about its use in WW2 aircraft, however it's not commonly used in aviation any more since as it makes it harder to read the readings on the instrument panels and interferes with night vision technology.
New to wiki editing so I'm not sure what to do here. I think it's plausible that the RAF believed this was giving them an advantage that they might want to obscure at the time, but the current reference doesn't support this. Open to more experienced opinions, but I think the red light reference should be removed or a stronger source should be found. Kolmx (talk) 14:32, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: It seems like some more research will be needed to sort that out. Right now, I'm afraid, the "Etymology" section is in a somewhat bad shape. William Baike's 1854 book is very old and it actually doesn't even say anything about the origin of the name; Meek's Law and Authority in a Nigerian Tribe is from 1937, so I have very serious doubts it reflects the latest insights into this matter. The Igala 'slave' theory is from a reliable and recent source – the library.bu.edu article also cited elsewhere in the section. However, having a more detailed and contemporary discussion of this topic would be even better. I'll check if I can find something. Gawaon (talk) 17:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

message: I edited this article for punctuation and made a few small changes to improve word usage. I have done some reading on early Christianity and gnosticism, but there is one sentence in which I corrected punctuation and verb tenses but could go no further in my effort to improve the language because I simply do not understand it.  It is the last sentence before the References at the end of the article.  One or two of the comments in the Talk page for this article refer to that sentence.  They apparently understand the sentence, but I do not.  I have never seen nor heard anything like it.  Could someone who really knows this subject read the last sentence before the references and either let me know what it means or correct it?  It makes no sense to me.  It is:

Talk:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

message: I've twice reverted parts of the recent edits to the introduction. The reason is that the previous version read better than the changes. Specifically:
*The following sentence is phrased awkwardly: "The element of wind has a prominent role, by facilitating sailing and being controlled with a magic conductor's baton called the Wind Waker."
*The following sentence introduces passive voice: "Instead, a distinctive cartoon-like art style was created through cel shading, originating the 'Toon Link' character." (I also don't think the sentence benefits from being broken up).
*Calling the art direction "whimsical": I don't think this is the right word choice. At any rate the previous paragraph already establishes what the art direction is like.
*The article verifies that the divisiveness among North American players contributed to weaker sales in comparison to Ocarina of Time, in fact this is a pretty significant part of the game's history. Removing that hurts the flow.
*"As a result, the subsequent Twilight Princess (2006) has a more natural and serious look." This doesn't flow right. As a result of what exactly? As a result of comparatively weak sales, Nintendo changed directions with the visuals. As a result of that decision, Twilight Princess has a more realistic style (I don't think that "natural and serious" are the right word choices)
*Splitting the sentence on the character's allies and activities strikes me as unnecessary, but I'm open to this if others support the change.
There are some good changes that I'll restore, and others that should be made. In general this introduction has suffered from content creep over the years; I'll get to work on fixing that.--Cúchullain t/c 20:29, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
