message: Dunno where to put this. But Pismo Beach is not far from Los Angeles, where the Medallions were from. It seems plausible that "pismotality" is derived from "Pismo Beach". For what it's worth. 137.53.241.251 (talk) 20:44, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

message: Is it too much to ask for somebody to attempt to define this word?
*Apparently, yes.  Steve Miller never chose to do it, and Vernon Green never actually used it in its present form.  Its meaning, however, has little to do with its usage as referenced in this article.  (If you're desperate, though, try [] definition.)Deltopia 13:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  14-year-old Vernon Green... 

message: Steve Miller had used the word in a song he recorded a year earlier than "The Joker".  The line "some people call me Maurice because I speak of the pompatus of love" is a reference to his earlier song, "Enter Maurice", from 1972 (just as "gangster of love" and "space cowboy" are references to other songs).  "Enter Maurice" contains a line that uses the word "pompatus".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oakpatch (talk • contribs) 22:26, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:USS Sealion (SS-315)

message: Why did this page get moved from USS Sealion (SS-315)?
:Because its official navy designation was SEALION II. My godmothers father was its first commanding officer, I have plenty of memorabilia from it showing "Sealion II" not "Sealion".  ALKIVAR™ 17:07, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: It would be nice if it gave any info as to why they thought a sub would be a useful troop transport. Unless they were intended to sneak companies of SEALs past enemy patrols to raid islands, or maybe as an unlikely last-ditch way to transport a handful of troops to Europe in case the Soviets cut the sea tracks, I can't imagine any reason that a cramped ship holding only 123 men would make any sense as a transport. It'd probably take 1/2 as much fuel to travel 1,000 miles as a ship carrying ten or twenty times the troops on board.
Also, a little while later it says 'it was redesignated a Sub, Transport', and then another paragraph down 'it was re-designated a transport submarine', It seems to suggest these are two separate events, but confirmation and/or explanation would be nice. If it is just saying the same ting twice, it needs to be cleaned up.

thread_title: Major Edit

message: It seems to be endemic to this site, but yet again I find poor referencing. It is not good enought to put a reference hoping no one checks it out.
Crico, the reference you used for the section "Aboriginal Culture" is poor since it does not relate to the Macquarie Fields area. 
Much of the content of the paragraph seems to come from the cited source, however it bears no relation to Macquarie Fields specifically. There is no mention of Macquarie Fields in the reference. 
Thus you are drawing your own conclusion, that the reference is talking about Macquarie Fields. 
Whoever wrote the section in question has in fact created a "new analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position not clearly advanced by the sources" (see NOR). And so this person has been engaging in the reprehensible practice of putting original research into a wikipedia article.
As such, I will remove the paragraph, and also the section heading since an empty section is not aesthetically pleasing. :-)

Talk:Invariant (computer science)

message: Are final/const variables like in C++/Java not also a form of invariants? Wouter Lievens 12:00, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: An invariant is a logical predicate really. It usually is a statement about a program, not part of it. For constants and finals, the invariant is simply that these variables don't change value. E.g. if we have int f(const int i) { ... } then an invariant throughout function f(n) should be { i == n }. For the same function f(int i) this would still be the invariant without the const qualifier in the declaration, the const qualifier just helps the compiler realize this, and may act as a hint to the caller.Pieter-Bas 13:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
