thread_title:  Expert review 

message: The article currently says
A few examples of devices that need a complex controller are CPUs, Graphics Cards, Network Interfaces, Hard Drives, Bus Controllers (USB, PCI, Firewire…) The modern information age would not be possible without complex controller designs like the Richard’s Controller.
which is technically true, but misleading.
It's like saying "the modern information age would not be possible without water, such as the water found on Europa (moon)".
Yes, all these devices are using "complex controllers".
Yes, Richard's controller is a kind of complex controller.
However, people making these kinds of designs are not using, and often have never have heard of, Richard's controller.
For a while I suspected that perhaps this idea of a "counter" in a "complex controller" may have originated with Richard, and people are using it without realizing who invented it -- like people today use electric lights without realizing electric lights were invented by Francis Hauksbee in 1705.
If anyone can point to any specific "modern information age" device that uses a Richard's controller (or a controller derived from it), please point it out in the article.
I doubt any are -- my understanding is that "modern information age" devices use complex controllers derived from the 1951 Maurice Wilkes microprogramming concept.
I think all text about "control units in general" should move to the control unit article, the same way text about water in general should go in the "water" article (rather than leaving in the Europa article).

message: I'm finding several indications of notability in Google, including evidence of the Richards contoller in CS/EE courses at at UC Davis and Rensselaer, and its inclusion in the Google Book, "An Introduction to Electronics", which describes it as "a classic hardware implementation" of a finite state machine.

Talk:Lockstitch

message: The article explains lockstitch formation in a hook-and-bobbin machine well (the animation is particularly helpful) but doesn't explain how a transverse shuttle machine makes this stitch. The sewing machine article is weak on this too. Transverse shuttle machines use a bobbin inside a shuttle on a long swinging arm. In some parts of the world they were the dominant domestic sewing machine technology for the first half of the twentieth century, though in America hook machines like the Singer 99k rapidly dominated the market. In Britain transverse machines like the Singer 48k and Jones CS remained very popular until the 1950s, possibly because they were cheaper to buy. I sort-of understand how a transverse shuttle machine works but don't have the detailed knowledge to write an authoritative article. --Ef80 (talk) 16:23, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Levitating bobbin? 

message: There's an error in the lockstitch gif where the yellow thread suddenly goes on the other side of the hook. This isn't physically possible, as it would require the thread to travel through a solid object.
Here is the error pointed out:
I've found other animations of the lockstitch that confirm that there is an error, though those animations are not, to my knowledge, public domain.
I've pointed this error out on the talk page for the animation file a few months ago, though I have had no responses. I don't have any replacements, but I think that erroneous material should be removed nonetheless.

replies: text: Hi, I made this image. However, I do agree that if a free license image of The Smashing Pumpkins is found, we should discontinue this image's use for the WikiProject template (unless consensus decides otherwise). The problem is that currently the only free license SP-related image we have is of Billy Corgan alone, and is not a good enough representation of the entire band. If you or someone else can find a free license image of SP (after Zeitgeist comes out new images will become easier to make and easier to find), then by all means replace this. --Brandt Luke Zorn 06:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The heim joint should not be merged with the ball joint. The two are very different. The heim joint ball in the socket has a hole in it through which a bolt or other attachment device may be inserted.

Like all of us, I think he's looking for a simple guideline that people can easily understand. This seems like a reasonable way to do it in general. Though I would clarify that country will not always be the right unit to consider (Quebec and Puerto Rico, for example). If people are okay with this, maybe we can write it down as policy in an appropriate place. --Michael Snow 23:29, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Slavic diacrits are different, and more difficult, from a technical POV, at least until we move over to UTF-8. Not so the accents used in Western European languages: they're all in the default character set we currently use. I firmly believe we should use those (for names in French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, etc.) whenever they're necessary, whenever they appear on the native form: Dammit, Jim, we're an encyclopaedia, not a news-wire. There's no question that François Mitterrand belongs at that title, and Benito Juarez without his accent is either insensitive or ignorant. The problem arises, particularly, with Hispanic names that have gone over into Anglo culture: Jennifer Lopez is the prime example of that, followed by all the Dominicans and Venezuelans in MLB. So, let country of origin be the general guide, but for the doubtful cases -- Hispanics and Germans and Brazilians and Francophones who've drifted into English-speaking milieus -- let customary use or stated individual preference be the clincher. I don't know enough about baseball or his personal history to make a decision on Ruben Gomez, but I have to confess that whenever I've seen 19th-century Venezuelan writers and Bolivian politicians (and Puerto Rican national heroes, as Marine 69-71 knows only too well from experience) under un-accented article titles, I've religiously taken in upon myself  to move them. –Hajor 02:30, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
