Talk:E-check

message: Perhaps the editor who placed this text within the article can create a new article instead and create a disambiguation article as well:
:"ECheck" is a Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation computer system for Internet validation by Federal Firearm Dealers (FFL) of a buyers "ability" to purchase a firearm.  Most dealers use a phone call to give the FBI National Instant Check System (NICS) ID information from the ATF Form 4473 that you fill out at the gun store.  They receive back a YES or NO or delay answer.  Yes you can buy the firearm or NO you can't or Maybe you are someone who is not allowed.  They (NICS) people have to check with local authorities (who may be busy) to find out the results of an arrest or warrent or court order. If they don't get back to the FFL within three days the FFL can make the sale.  ECheck can speed up the process using direct entry of the ID information with less chance for transcription errors.

message: At the risk of stating the obvious... more content is needed here! At the very least, an explanation of how a digital "signature" replaces the written signature (on a paper check) would be very helpful, as well as an explanation of the process the user goes through to acquire such a digital "signature".

Talk:Mariana trench

message: Copied from Wikipedia:General complaints):
On your site you say that the Trench has a maximum depth of 35,795 ft. But later in the article, "In an unprecedented dive, the U.S. Navy bathyscaphe Trieste reached the bottom at 1:06 pm on January 23, 1960 with U.S. Navy Lt. Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard. Iron shot was used for ballast, with gasoline for buoyancy. The onboard systems indicated a depth of 37,800 ft (11,521 m), but this was later revised to 35,813 ft (10,916 m)" I wasn't a math major..but if the Trieste went to 35,813...that would seem to be deeper than 35,795. So which figure is in error?

Talk:Oblique type

message: Oh dear. It's a bit crap to have to POV a typography page, but Oblique type is a mere distortion? The article seems to be about what Oblique type is not, not what it is. Needs someone who has a clue to rewrite it. --00:35, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

text: I still don't get it. Oblique means distorted roman letters, but how are italics not just that? What does "different glyph shapes" mean? Roman vs italics seem to use just as different glyphs as roman vs oblique. I'd really like some further explanation. 193.173.38.232 (talk) 08:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  There's two answers, the historical and the current. The historical: italics have a completely different history, "normal" type coming from book faces. For more information, you might want to study calligraphy a bit, where the difference between book and italic faces are quite clear; but the main idea is that italics are a completely different face than the Roman or "normal" equivalent. The current: If you look carefully at a true italic font, you'll notice that although the letter shapes are similar to their Roman counterparts, they are not identical. The best letter to compare is the lower-case 'a': in a book face, the letter has a bowl and a stroke that comes out the top and angles or curves left; whereas in an italic face, the letter is basically a circle or oval with a tail on the right side. On the other hand, Roman vs oblique for a font are essentially the same letters: they would have the same 'a' shape. Lower-case 'f' and 'g' are other good letters to compare: in Roman vs. Oblique, they will look essentially the same; the italic equivalent will usually have a shape more associated with the historic italic hands. Hmm... maybe I should put this in the article itself ... if I can find some references, I will. Fool4jesus (talk) 18:34, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sanjeev Kumar (actor)

message: Thanks for the corrections Zora, I feel foolish for having used numerics instead of spelling out numbers.  I'm wondering, though, there is a lot of references in this article to the actor playing "hero" instead of the lead or starring role; is this a normal term in Bollywood (which i'm not familiar with I'm afraid) or just a word the original writer really, really liked?  :)--ByrdMeln 05:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  If you want to change it to lead instead of hero, that would be fine -- probably more encyclopedic :) As for not spelling out -- I didn't know that until I bought my own copy of the Chicago Manual of Style and started learning to do professional copyediting.

message: This song is written in a form of Classical Japanese, yet it is spelled on the page using post-1945 orthography.

Talk:KTAR

message: KTAR-AM and KTAR-FM are less than four weeks to a major split. Here is what will happen to the articles (note the creation of redirects KTAR-AM and KTAR-FM, which is related to this):
First, at my sandbox KXRM2, a draft of KTAR-AM will be created. The content in KXRM4 will be a KTAR-FM draft. The first portions of each will concern the property before the split; KKFR info will be in KTAR-FM, with KTAR-FM info in KTAR-AM; then the second portions will concern the property whose format it inherited, with KTAR-AM info in the KTAR-FM article and KMVP information in the KTAR-AM article. This will likely require something like substed templates. In addition, KTAR will become a disambiguation page (draft at KXRM2Talk, which is in the User talk space but is not a talk page in practice); this page will list the KTAR radio stations as well as KTAR-TV, now KPNX. KKFR will also see changes, too: it's more than likely that a link to KTAR-FM will top the article, because of callsign modifications. The drafts will kick in later in the month, and the changes will come in on 1 January to coincide with the actual radio split. Shin'ou's TTV (Futaba|Masago|Kotobuki) 23:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Power outages

message: Wouldn't it be better to use the phrase power outage, rather than blackout.  It seems inconsistent to use a word for which wikipedia gives a different title (there is no blackout article).  Speaking of consistency, choosing one and sticking with it would be nice also. 134.250.72.141
:I agree with this. "Power outages" would probably be a better category title since it would match the article. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:55, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Is the category only for power blackouts, or does it include transient faults and brownouts?

Talk:Non-decimal currency

message: "An early proposal for decimalizing the pound in the 19th century envisaged a system of 1 Pound = 10 florins = 100 dimes = 1000 cents." 
:This (unsourced) sentence may be correct, but logic invites me to question why a division of 1/1000 would be refered to as a "cent".  Surely "mil" would have been used, as it was in other currencies with such a division (e.g. the Palestine pound)? Dainamo (talk) 09:25, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps the florin was the base unit, in which case it might best be shown as: "10 Pounds = 1 florin = 10 dimes = 100 cents".  But, as you mentioned, it is unsourced, so this is just speculation.  AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 03:19, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I have a source for the actual text of this quote - it differs significantly (as expected here). It is a summary of the dialogue in the House of Commons that took place n 27 April 1847 between decimal currency proposers Dr Bowring, Mr Hume and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The proposal was not significantly different from the monetary system that was eventually adopted 124 years later in 1971, although the initially suggested names for the two new units were Queens (for 1/10 pound, to become the florin, and 10p) and Victorias (a coin in their words "to the value of two and two-fifths of a penny", i.e. 1/100 pound, eventually 1p). The compromise agreed on the floor of the House was that coins would be minted to the value of 1/10 of a pound only, and no further legislation would be pursued at that time, the Chancellor noting that the nation liked its current currency and accounting techniques. I'll drop a precis of this in the article soon if I have the time, otherwise, please go ahead folks.

Talk:S3 Texture Compression

message: At the end of this section, the author specifically states, "DXT1 does not store alpha data enabling higher compression ratios."  This is incorrect.  Alpha information is always stored in DXT1-compressed textures as one bit (on/off), whether or not the texture is transparent.  In DXT1C (non-transparent) textures, the alpha-bit is always on; thus, the pixels are opaque.  In DXT1A (transparent) textures, the alpha-bit may be on or off.  If it is off, the color data is arbitrarily black (R:0, G:0, B:0).  Someone with authority please do the research and correct this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.219.148 (talk) 14:43, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: S3TC Compression 

message: note: the following was copied from  User talk:NJM
most DirectX 6 accelerators (Rage128Pro, Riva TNT2, Voodoo 3, Matrox G400) didn't support s3tc in hardware. (Rage128Pro only had software emulation, others listed didn't support at all). At that time game support was questionable. Although S3 announced many D3D titles supporting S3TC, they didn't get benefit from it. Tim Sweeny, the Unreal Tournament developer said that UT will not support S3TC in D3D due to inefficient D3D realisation, and it's support was only implemented some years later.
And OpenGL, as industry standart interface, is relevant to industry adoption of its supported features -- Ilya K 20:49, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I asked some Mesa GL / Xorg programmers about this and their consensus was that the tendency with OpenGL is for IHVs to come up with new functionality, add it to their hardware and then get around to writing the GL extension. In the specific case of S3TC, industry adoption was sort of inevitable. Everybody wanted compressed textures, the competitors to S3TC (FXT1 and VQ) weren't as good, and then Microsoft decided to require it in DirectX 6, which was the final straw (so to speak). --NJM 01:25, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
