Talk:Visioneer

message: I have tried to clarify the (confusing) history of acquisitions and name changes of this company, both here and in the related Nuance Communications article (per information in both articles and the company's current homepage "About" and "Visioneer Corporate Information"). Not entirely convinced that the amount of duplicate information needs 2 separate articles, but kept them as is for now. GermanJoe (talk) 13:07, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Acquisitions and name changes 

message: There is some confusion between this Visioneer article and the Nuance Communications article. The page about Nuance indicates that it originated as Visioneer, then acquired ScanSoft, which then merged with Nuance Communication and took the Nuance name.
However, there IS currently an active company called "Visioneer" that sells scanning hardware. The company "About" page says:
:We are a privately held, world-class developer of intelligent imaging solutions.
Judging from what I can read through both articles, my suspicion is that the current Visioneer is the hardware part of the original company that was sold off in 1999 to Primax and then later bought by private investors (according to this article). But this article needs some reliable sources to clarify all of that. - Dyork (talk) 01:19, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb

message: The Poincare Dodecahedron is a surchoron (cell) of the {5,3,3}, a dodecahedron where the cells are linked three at an edge.  It can be equally represented by a set of five tetrahedra surrounding an edge, or four tetrahedra around a core tetrahedron.
The Siefert-Weber is a surchoron (cell) of {5,3,5}, having five dodecahedra linked at an edge.
The cells of {5,3,4} can not be used singularly to represent a finite space of the tyoe of Poincare-Dodecahedron, or the Siefert-Weer cell, because the dodecahedron has thirty edges, and thirty is not a multiple of four.  However, one can take these in pairs to represent such a space, or convert the dodecahedron into a rhombic tricontahedron, in much the same way that alternate cells of the cubic tiling {4,3,4} can be converted into rhombic dodecahedra to give the dual of {3,4,A}.   One can do the same with the {3,3,4}, producing rhombic hexahedra (cubes), to give {4,3,3}.

Talk:Anabaptist theology

message: There are various anabaptist groups. No one anabaptist denomination can speak for all anabaptists.I have also noted in other material that not all anabaptists spoke theologicaly but rather expressed their beliefs in confessions of faith and debated with other christians their 'position' on certain topics e.g communion. The words 'Contempory anabaptism' is relative only to the denomination which is presenting their ideas. No one anabaptist denomination can speak for all anabaptists.  There are various types of Mennonites, conservative, progressive etc. Each has their own particular 'brand' of theology.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.108.249.204 (talk) 01:17, October 6, 2007
:True, but the idea here is simply to cover many of the significant common beliefs.  For example, all modern Anabaptists have some form of "peace church" tradition, even if some have drifted away from their traditional pacifist stance.  Where beliefs diverge, readers can be directed to the appropriate articles on specific groups. Sχeptomaniacχαιρετε 16:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The full text of the story is online here (or, if you prefer, you can google "frederic brown arena" and find the same link as I did).  Do a text search for "It had come through the barrier" to jump right to the spot in question.  Carson deliberately knocked himself unconscious with a rock near the end of the story when he made the realization that by doing so he could cross the barrier.  However, at the time in question, he ran into the barrier when the wheeler tossed the then-unconscious and presumably dead lizard at Carson's feet after pulling off its legs.  The barrier was still there.  "He found that out the hard way, running head on into it and nearly knocking himself silly. He bounced back and fell."  He was not knocked unconscious.

Wikipedia talk:Deletion message boxes

message: I would support a standard look for all the deletion templates. 
As I've said before, I think they need to stand out more from the wall-o'-cleanup. Background shading is one way, and complete border rather than just left side border is another (For example, see Template:Ifd). They should also be at the top of an article (though below a "protected" template"), and probably have a "line space" between them and the "wall". For the shading, how about the "blue" of the Wikipedia space background when used on "white" pages (such as article space), and white when used on blue pages (such as category space). (Speedy should stay pink, of course.) - jc37 15:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I found this proposal rather by accident although I've been following the discussions at Wikipedia:Article message boxes for some weeks now. You should advertise it a little better. ;-) Anyway, I really like the red border around your proposed "Images for Deletion" template and think it would look good on/around the current "Articles for Deletion" and "Speedy Deletion". I don't know what to do with the "Miscellany for Deletion" template; the green really does not go with the red, but I don't know in how far the people who deal with it every day want to give up on the color. I am fine with both the old "Templates for Deletion" version or your suggestion. – sgeureka t•c 14:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The green border's totally unnecessary.  There's only one editor that's resisted changing the MfD template that I know of.  I don't think the red border for Images for Deletion is necessary either, although I like the big icon (85px) used in the current template.  We can't do more than 50px in regular ambox without some tweaks, though we could do two of them at 50px, left and right.--Father Goose 05:59, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that they have to be more noticeable than the typical cleanup, etc. templates. Deletion is quite a big deal and should catch the attention of the viewer.

     This Synodal Period, which lasted until 1917, was a period of spiritual low for the Church,

     and a few Saints shone during this time, especially St. Tikhon of Zadonsk ( 1783 commemorated August 13),

Talk:Terrace (stadium)

message: Re "Arsenal F.C. were the first to adopt such a name..." This statement is not entirely correct. Woolwich Arsenal's Manor Ground did not have a terrace named after Spion Kop, the hill near Ladysmith, in South Africa. Rather, the link was first made by a local reporter, who merely likened a refurbished terrace at the ground to the Battle of Spion Kop (the comparison was made because he could see the outline of fans standing on top of the terrace, like soldiers raising their heads into the line of fire). I think it was Phil Soar in Official Centenary History of Arsenal, 1886-1986 who claimed, therefore, that Arsenal were the first soccer club to adopt the name, but the actual documentary record does not support such a contention. Historians speculate that it became a nickname, because similar references soon began appearing elsewhere. smb (talk) 21:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
