Talk:Take-out

message: Though there is a slight reference to the phrase "to go" at the end of the article, I think it belongs at the beginning.  It is at least as common as "carry out" in the US, and almost exclusively used when referring to fast food.  I'll put it at the beginning.  I hope that's cool with everyone.  --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 00:07, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  To go 

message: It may be regional, but as far as I know this is national (to the UK atleast) it's likely not global.
But in Northern Ireland a Carry-out is drink (alcohol) purchased from a merchant or a bar, that is not consumed in the bar area. Where as Take-away is food only.
Perhaps this needs added to the article if it is a regional thing to the UK. --Dom0803 15:45, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Why does Chip Shop redirect to this entry?  I was looking for an article describing what a British (or Australian) Chip Shop was like, what was served, ect.  I got re-directed to this article about takeout food.  A Chip Shop may serve food designed to be taken away from the restaurant, but this article is about the food, and not the shop.  If I click on the link for "fast food restaurant" I'm not taken to a article about hamburgers.  Perhaps the redirect should be towards "fast food restaurant".

thread_title: Untitled

message: The "His Work" section, especially the bit about a "family tree of authors who employed 'black humor' in their works" sounds pretty much like original research / speculation / personal opinion to me. It should be attributed to a critic if it is based on secondary criticism IMO, or a note should be added making the reader aware of the speculative (and possibly inaccurate) nature of the links between these authors. 
Also the link to Flannery O'Connor should have a footnote.
The part about West's work being a response to the Great Depression on the other hand (next section) is really obvious to anyone who has read Day of the Locust and I would rephrase it as "is a response ..." and remove the citation needed tag.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.82.21.47 (talk) 18:39, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  His Work 

message: I was forced to undo a few nonsensical revisions by User:Mmeade7; I will make no assumptions regarding this user's affiliation with Marion Meade, but it may be beneficial to point out that thus far this user has only contributed to two articles - this one and Marion Meade. Here are some of the things I undid, and the reasoning behind it, when necessary:
* West was born and raised on East 81st street, which is in New York's Upper East Side, not Harlem.
* Returned info regarding West's college nickname (which he often used to sign his letters) and his sudden return to LA to attend Fitzgerald's funeral, which led to his own death in a traffic accident - I have no idea why these details were removed.
* Meade's biography of West & his wife should appear, both chronologically and in terms of relevance, after Martin's biography of West.
* The external link added is to a promotional site for Meade's book and not to "Nathanael West's Website" as had been written previously; the mere fact that the website's name is www.nathanaelwest.com does not make it official.

To the casual reader, especially one who doesn't know if that particular Swedish King reigned in the XIXth or XXth or XXIst century, it seems on an initial read that there were two different periods of bans, leading, coincidentally, to almost identical numbers of renamings, especially since paragraph 3 occurs after paragraph 2 that is concerned with events of the 1950s, 1990s, and 2009. Paragraph 4 jumps back to 1890 to 1921, but doesn't clarify the epoch of redundant paragraph 3.

: Updated URI. Bill 19:28, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: I've long been mildly troubled by calling this article "College of Pontiffs" for the very reason that someone moved it: it sounds so Catholic. But "College of Pontifices" won't do. It's a bastardized hybrid of Latin and English. Please discuss alternatives before moving. Cynwolfe (talk) 12:51, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Would the Latin do?  I've never heard anyone say collegium pontificum, but it is the only form of title that I can remember encountering in the scholarship. But, without looking at the results in depth, a JSTOR search for "College of Pontiffs" yields 48 results; "college of Pontifices" gives 39, and "collegium pontificum" gives 24. But these numbers could easily be skewed by JSTOR's dodgy search functionality. — [dave] cardiff | chestnut —  15:30, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, based solely on usual WP naming practice, the title should be College of Pontiffs, then, since it's most common and in English. And I stand corrected, I guess, about "College of Pontifices," which does indeed seem to be in wide use. That should be "college of pontifices," with the Latin italicized, I'd think, and lowercase so it doesn't masquerade as a proper noun. I might prefer Pontifex (ancient Rome) for the article title. It took me at least two years to remember that it was called "College of Pontiffs." No doubt why I'm grumpy about the move, since it requires me to relearn something, wah wah.

replies: text:  I think you're right: just like the other major collegia in the infobox on this page (save the epulones and functionally named quindecimviri sacris faciundis), this one should probably just have the singular of its constituents as headword.  I didn't even realize that Pontifex redirects here, so the "(ancient Rome)" bit might be left off. I'm sure if PMA were around I'd be roundly scolded for my Hellenist's casual two-cents on this Roman jive, but now I'm off to set some foxes alight, since that's what rational people do with their free time.  — [dave] cardiff | chestnut —  01:09, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Why we need to use carrier frequency?

message: Mention center frequency here because there is a very nice Wikipedia article about it here!
Believe it or not, certain electromagnetic communication systems have a center frequency but NOT a carrier frequency. Consider AM-double sideband-suppressed carrier. The absence of a carrier frequency is also true for nearly all FM communication systems and nearly all digital radio & microwave communication systems. The latter operate at top efficiency when the carrier component is suppressed all the way, and we go to great lengths to make them so.

thread_title:  Format change for "notable alumni" section 

message: I must say, unilaterally renaming this institution is the most egregious case of Wikipedian arrogance I've seen in three decades. To begin with, there is no American state called "Evergreen", so our confirmed title here is nonsensical. The school is [The Evergreen State][College]. Because Washington is The Evergreen State. Get it? It's another way to say Washington. At no time has this institution of higher learning ever been named [the][Evergreen State College].
Of course I understand that there's widespread public confusion over this matter. Even in Washington we refer colloquially to TESC (note the universally-used acronym: TESC) as "Evergreen". We also call Washington State University "Wazzu", but last I checked nobody made that the title of our entry on it. 
That there was a formal decision-making process on this issue, and it resulted in continued purveyance of a bald-faced inaccuracy, is shameful. We need to dump self-serving appeals to "popular usage" and correct the false information in this article. Factual accuracy is Job 1 on Wikipedia, before turf wars, fatuous definitions of democracy, or denial of our mistakes. If we're not doing that, we're not doing anything.
