thread_title:  Not Orphan 

message: Instancing is more general concept than the article claims. It can be used with arbitrary geometry, not just meshes. It can also be used in offline applications, not just real time rendering. In ray tracing especially it can be done with almost anything. It can also be used in 2D. The key concept is that usually the bulk of geometry is shared, and only few extra properties are changed per instance (usually the transformation matrix, but few extra ones could also be employed). Also instancing is way older than Direct3D or OpenGL, and surely was used in 80s or earlier. Even 2D sprites that are used many times on screen at the same time, but share the same source, are in essence also instancing. 213.55.184.153 (talk) 07:57, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Will Rogers Turnpike

message: The merge tag from this article was removed by  because of the lack of a discussion. In the future, it should be noted that there is usually not an accompanying discussion because such merge proposals are not often contentious; usually one is only started because someone disagrees with the merge. I have restored the tag.
In the United States, service plazas generally do not have standalone articles, but are covered in the article about the highway they correspond to. (See Kansas Turnpike#Services for an example from a featured article.) A merge is particularly appropriate in this case because both of the articles are stubs. It should be remembered that just because a merge is done now doesn't mean that the article cannot be re-split later when there is enough content to warrant such a split. Eventually, I'd like to bring the Will Rogers Turnpike article to FA, which will require significant coverage of this service plaza anyway, so having everything in one article will avoid duplicating effort. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 23:41, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Optical ground wire

message: I notice this article was speedy deleted once already.
I don't have time to work on it, but optical groundwire (OPGW) is a widely recognized type of fiber optic cable. The IEEE has a standard for it: IEEE 1138 Standard Construction of Composite Fiber Optic Overhead Ground Wire (OPGW) for Use on Electric Utility Power Lines
Google Scholar turns up 327 unique hits on the term "OPGW".
If someone really feels they need to delete this article again, please drop a note on my talk page. --A. B. (talk) 06:13, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Most people call this "optical groundwire" if they don't use "OPGW".
"Optical fiber composite overhead ground wire" may appear in a few IEEE references, but not even anyone on the IEEE joint working group that writes the standards calls it that in everyday conversation or writing -- just OPGW or optical groundwire.
A few previously used terms that were either trademarks or fell out of favor:
*OPT-GW
*FOGW
*FOG-W
Also, similar products used in some postion other than the groundwire position:
*Telecom rope
*Optical phase conductor
*Optical messenger

Talk:Fech fech

message: If anybody knows whether the word is indeed of Arabic origin or not, please edit the article accordingly.
It was me who perhaps wrongly assumed this European word to be a direct import from Arabic, Berber or another Semitic language, and then added the "Arabic [script, not necessarily language] needed" tag here. I guess it just looked too “Arabic” to me.
When I had found the spelling ‹fesh fesh› somewhere, I entered “” in a search engine, together with Qattara in Arabic script. I don't understand Arabic, but the poor results seemed to suggest that either the word isn't used in Arabic, or I had a vowel missing or otherwise used the wrong letters in my blind, uninformed guess, so I decided to use the template to call for help.

message: Should any new categories be made for former glaciers that are now gone due to global warming? Jason Quinn (talk) 11:59, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi ...probably a good idea to have such a category. Glaciers have a definition in that most glaciologists expect them to have a certain size and more often than not, be on a state of movement to be "living" glaciers. Timpanogos Glacier in Utah is no longer visible but still technically exists as a body of ice buried under rock and talus rock debris. I don't know if it is still moving or not. It is more likely simply a rock glacier or a subterranean body of ice now. Perhaps :Category:Former glaciers would work?--MONGO 17:01, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Biogenetic structuralism

message: As a nonspecialist, this strikes me as very similar to sociobiology, so it would be useful to have some discussion (assuming sources for it exist) on the similarities and differences.  In addition, it seems like there are relationships to a number of debates in linguistics, but generalized to all of culture (rather than only language).  The claim that there are universal innate structures from which culture arises, for example, sounds like a generalization of Chomskyan universal grammar, while the evolutionary-neuroscience aspects seem to be related to cognitive linguistics.  But again I'm not an expert here. --Delirium 00:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Relationship to other areas?

message: Much of the material is quoted from http://www.biogeneticstructuralism.com/ which advocates the approach.  While this is perfectly legitimate as a source for characterizing the movement's goals and ideas, it also contains POV material, such as an interpretation of Anti-Introspectionist views in psychology that involves claims of underly religious motivations.  Such a claim should be supported by references to an historian of science.  I have edited the passage to reflect that this is the view of the movement's supporters, but that may not be the best way to address this - and similar - POV material. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.18.86.3 (talk) 05:51, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

"Although the Journal des sçavans is often hailed as the first scientific journal, this is not quite true. The Journal is more of a class of a general gazetteer with all sorts of news that might be of interest to scholarly readers. In its early years, the Journal contained a mix of articles and reviews on scientific, historical, humanistic, legal, and ecclesiastical matters."
