Talk:Zire Handheld

message: Neither the Zire or the Zire 21 had SD/SDIO/MMC expansion, which was vehemently shunned by venerable handheld aficionados.
Could you clarify which -- was the "SD/SDIO/MMC expansion" shunned, or was the Zire shunned?

message: The small memory was a severe limitation on the number of pictures that could be stored. 
640*480 picture is 300K pixels, which takes 30-200K of memory (the pictures are always stored compressed, which is right thing, because at the Palm's camera quality, compression does not harm).  With 10M of free memory, one can store 50-300 pictures, which is usually more than enough. --Urod 19:09, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

message: There is no such thing as the "Evenstar pendant" in the book, the previous versions were wrong... Its rough equivalent as "jewelry Aragorn carries" would be the Elfstone, given in wholly different circumstances. 
They don't even have the same significance... the Evenstar is a "lover's gift" while the Elfstone is a wedding gift given in advance as well as part fulfillment of the prophecies concerning Aragorn (who's destined to be called "Elfstone"/"Elessar").

Also, it does not appear to violate either of the Wikipedia guidelines cited. It seems to fit the criteria for "What to link", for example. It is not spam to promote the site simply because it contains "further research that is accurate and on-topic… that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail." It gives a directory of the online rulesets and goes into detail on the hobby itself, and so not only is it used as a source, but it is also further reading section in accordance with External links guidelines.  --Grimhelm 17:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:President of Yugoslavia

message: I suggest that this section be allocated its own page since Serbia and Montenegro are no longer under 'FR Yugoslavia' and should not be listed here.

We should make 2 more articles; here, we should make a disambiguation page here. One should lead to presidents of socialist Yugoslavia (1945-1991), and one to the presidents of Serbia and Montenegro (1992-2003); the latter wore the name of "FR Yugoslavia", but had nothing more with previous Yugoslavia, than other former Yugoslav republics.

What's the source for this assertion? I looked up this song today precisely because I remember that no one in my college was sure what the song was saying (as in message) and 20 years later, I'm still unsure. I went to a pretty conservative school, so if it had been widely understood to have a pro-abstinence message, I feel certain word would've gotten around the school fast.

Talk:The Etymologies

message: The most significant weakness of this article from the p.o.v. of an encyclopedia is how "closed" it is - the etymologies are their own little universe, within the Tolkien canon, and I don't know of any secondary literature about them. All an encyclopedia entry can do is discuss what they are and how they relate to the greater whole. The etymologies are, to make matters worse, not 'fixed' in any way - they underwent a constant state of flux for the entire time Tolkien nibbled at them. Because there was never a canonical Elvish language, there isn't any way to do normal literary criticism of how the layers emerged into a finished product. The article needs to explain why the etymologies were never finished. Scott1329m 12:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
