Talk:Ristretto

message: 'Ristretto' is italian for 'restricted'  or 'reduced', and does in this context indicate that an espresso is  'short', meaning the extraction of the espresso is stopped before it is normally finished.
'Caffè Ristretto'  or  'Espresso Ristretto'  is not a beverage as such, but a way of making an espresso.
The result is a smaller  'shot'  of espresso, thicker and richer than normal.
While a regular espresso may take between 18 and 30 seconds to  'pull', a  'espresso ristretto'  is cut short at only 12 to 16 seconds.
The classic  'ristretto' is made from a normal dose of coffee (as to a normal espresso), but many baristas make it from a larger dose and the normal amount of water.
Yours, John in Oslo

Can we get this to also come up from a search on wikipedia for "short shot"? I don't know how that's done, otherwise I'd do it.

message: Most of this article was taken from a single opinion--the WTF article.
The article is semi-humor.  They were pointing out how externalizing data can be a problem, but didn't consider even the most obvious solutions that are in use by most larger software systems like a settings database.
The fact is, when a program gets large enough and is distributed to a wide enough area, "Softcoding" must be (and is) heavily used.
On the other hand I suppose this article may be correct because the author of the referenced "humorous" WTF article seems to have coined the phrase "softcoding" to show his personal distaste for the practice.  Perhaps a like such as "This term was invented by the author of this article and is not an actual technical term" or something at the top would do the job.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.43.16.111 (talk) 09:25, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I've yet to come across your device, but as you describe it, I find it hard expect its use to replace fMRI.
* The human skull, meninges and scalp are not particularly translucent and any data you claim to derive would be hard to disentangle from the venous drainage that would dominate any signal.
* The data that your explanation claims to derive would, indeed, tell you about relative oxygenation/deoxygenation of haemoglobin, but not the relative activity of the neuroanatomy; pulse oximeters use the principle that you describe, but are used on the little finger or the ear, and should never be used to calculate oxygen consumption, as without knowledge of the haemoglobin flux, you cannot judge that.
The brain controls oxygen flux primarily through changing local blood flow, and not through increased extraction of oxygen from haemoglobin.

Talk:Universalglot

message: I have created an original SVG image as a possible flag of Universalglot. I have inspected the Novial page for a reference to the history of the creation and adoption of its flag, but have been unable to determine how it attained its official status. So far as I can tell that flag has no historical basis; it was arbitrarily chosen a few years ago and attached to the page and it just stuck since. Since I don't want to just upload anything like that on a whim, I thought to run it by anyone who monitors this page and get their opinion on the matter. Sentinel-v (talk) 00:42, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know anything about the Novial flag, but in general I don't think it is a good idea to assign flags posthumously to historical language projects that aren't in use anymore. Ultimately it all boils down to sources, though. If for example the author of the language described his idea of a flag, then there's nothing wrong with working it out and adding it to the article. If there is some kind of body responsible for the language that made an official decision about a flag, same thing. If there is an active user community that decided to adopt a flag and there are independent sources to confirm this, same thing. However, if it is merely a proposal or a personal project, then I don't think Wikipedia is the right place for submitting it. On a sidenote, I've never understood why a constructed language that is never of hardly ever used would need a flag at all. —IJzeren Jan  Uszkiełtu? 01:06, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: List of contemporary Muslim scholars of Islam →  – I suggest the page title is changed from 'List of contemporary Muslim scholars of Islam' to 'List of contemporary Islamic scholars'. Islamic scholar is a term in common usage to describe Muslim scholars of Islam, it is more concise and understood also the intro paragraph states that this is a list of Islamic scholars. It's like if you insisted on calling a washing machine a 'machine of washing', it would sound archaic and you would have to add the word 'clothes' to make clear what you were referring to. There is already a lack of consistency in this subject area. The page 'List of female Muslim scholars', doesn't use 'of Islam' in the title, so according to the title they may be scholars of anything, but the intro paragraph says that the list is of female scholars of Islam. The page 'List of Shia Muslim Islamic scholars', used the term Islamic scholars and the word 'Muslim' is also used in the title. It could be made more concise without losing clarity by changing it to 'List of Shia Islamic scholars'. According to WP:CRITERIA page titles should be recognizable, natural, precise, concise and consistent. Amirah talk 10:39, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Protected areas of New South Wales

message: The NSW NPWS has a page summarising area and date of establishment at http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/parks.nsf/WebContentByLetter?OpenView&Letter=All&Count=2000
I was thinking of producing a table similar in format to the List of Australian Aboriginal tribes as follows (for example, the beginning of the Central NSW National Parks section):
Central NSW
Park name                      	Area (hectares):	Date of establishment:	IUCN category:	Park's web page
Abercrombie River National Park	19,000 hectares 	created 22/12/95      	II            	NPWS park page
Belford National Park          	294 hectares    	created 01/01/2003    	II            	NPWS park page
Cataract National Park         	1,504 hectares  	created 01/01/2003    	II            	NPWS park page
Cocoparra National Park        	8,358 hectares  	created 03/12/69      	II            	NPWS park page
Return to top of page
etc ...
I think hectares should be used exclusively in the table as some reserves are small in area, and that is the Australian usual way of representing area, as well as the way the NPWS has represented it.
