thread_title: Old merge discussion (2007/2008)

message: As a practitioner who sometimes writes user guides and/or user manuals for computer software products, I offer the following thoughts:
* There is a significant difference between a user guide and a user manual, which is not mentioned in this article.
* This article would benefit from a section titled Computer software user guide.
* The section on Car user's manual does not belong here.
* There is justification for a separate article on User manual, with a section titled Computer software user manual.
For examples that illustrate some of the differences between a user guide and a user manual, see these websites:
*Google Earth User Guide
*Starta User Manual

thread_title:  User guide versus User manual 

message: I noticed that Wikipedia shamelessly removes the apostrophe in articles like User guide or Tourist guide. But I don’t agree. An “Installation guide” would be without apostrophe because it is a guide about installation. But user guides are not about users, they are written for them. A linguistic evolution does not become good just because many people are stupid enough to follow it. If you have difficulties to remember how it is correct, I recommend reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
If nobody argues against me, it might happen that I'll try to create a new article User's guide and make User guide redirect to it.

Talk:Team OS/2

message: I'd like to reach an agreement on what is required to finalize this page.  Barnstar, you reversed my attempts at a final clean-up, and I'd like to better understand your reasoning. The "mass deletion of items that could be sourced" was because they have not been sourced, after 20 years. Thus, it is not likely that they will ever be sourced and thus amount to a violation of multiple Wikipedia policies.
You called my attempt at a better header "editorializing" - rather, it is a supportable attempt to put Team OS/2 in its historical context as an important early development in using online communications to organize like-minded enthusiasts into supporting a cause they believe in. It was probably the first known example of a cause going viral online, and deserves to be noted historically as such, although it might be difficult to verify that fact, which is implied by the publication of Whittle's book which included his early experiences as IBM's first online rep.
Please propose alternatives to the current header, which not only fails to communicate the historical importance of Team OS/2, but is currently inaccurate and more editorial than my proposed alterations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.202.246.186 (talk) 16:37, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Peter Shurman

message: First off, just wondering why there are so few references for this article?
undertaking an assignment to grow a minor Toronto paging company, into one of the area's largest and most important operators in only eighteen months
This is extremely vague.
Political Career: The article states that Shurman's election was due to the faith-based funding policy, which is correct, however it is incorrect to write that it was due to his support of it. Shurman never supported the faith-based policy, he just happened to be running in the right party at the right time (under John Tory) in the right riding (Thornhill).
And here is a reference: http://yorkregion.com/News/Thornhill/article/53663
Anyway this article may be doing more harm than good right now, I hope a dedicated Wiki-er will clean it up. I really appreciate the work you guys do.

Talk:Shorea faguetiana

message: 94.1 m for the tallest specimen was obtained by LiDAR, not reliable on sloping ground. However, the tree was recently climbed, and the average figure of the heights to the highest ground level (90.8 m) and lowest ground level (95.2 m) is 93 m. For more details, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_superlative_trees#Height_measurements_in_Borneo. Krasanen (talk) 10:18, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  The tallest speciemen in Danum 

message: 94.1 m is the initial measurement from an aircraft with LiDAR. As the source article says, the confirming measurement was made with a tape drop by a climber. "Two height measurements were taken, one is from the top to the ground at the upper slope (90.8 m) and another to the ground at the lower slope (95.2 m) of the tree."  According to the tree measuring rules, tree heights should be reported to the average ground level, which is commonly calculated as the mean of the highest and the lowest ground levels. See e.g.:
Tree_height_measurement
https://www.monumentaltrees.com/en/content/measuringheight/
Thus 93.0 m is the correct height. The initial measurement from the aircraft should not be accepted! See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_superlative_trees#Height_measurements_in_Borneo above.Krasanen (talk) 16:41, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

As the number of tallest yellow meranti trees is becoming more and more common, and now that the species is the second-tallest tree on Earth, it may well be time to start a list on this article of the tallest yellow meranti trees.

Talk:Moral rationalism

message: I've come to see a major problem with the opening presentation.  It frames MR as an epistemological claim, when it seems to me to be more essentially a claim about the nature of ethics itself.  Moral rationalism, then, is the view that true, or legitimate, ethical claims are derived from facts about logic.  Now it presumably follows from this that they can be known a priori, but this is a secondary and not a primary feature of the view.  Putting it this way also helps distinguish the claim from versions of intuitionism, which also claim that you can know moral truths a priori, but without necessarily using reason.  Comments?--ScottForschler (talk) 17:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The article has no references.  There is a "References" section, so I'm wondering if it did have them in an earlier version (I haven't yet looked). In any case, the population figures for various metropolitan areas need sources.  Also note that People of Ethiopia gives the population of Ethiopians in the U.S. as 70,000, but that isn't cited, either (and that seems an extremely low figure). -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 14:57, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

However, this was presented as 120,000 Ethiopians (regardless of origin).  I cited some unofficial surveys for the Washington DC area, though neither of these specify whether these numbers are foreign-born or all people of Ethiopian descent. And the text quoted "Terrazas (2010)". Actually it was a 2007 study but another editor had changed the year.

message: Film festivals are not like international sports events (Olympics, etc) where athlets represent their country, and so flag icons can be placed to stress this fact.
