Talk:Vince Melouney

message: Vince was born a Melouney but due to permanent mishearings and misspellings by others over the years, he finally gave up and altered his name to Maloney when he went to England http://www.brothersgibb.org/reports-vince-melouney.html .

thread_title: Untitled

message: This strikes me as patently unsupportable.
This sentence was added with  in August 2007, one of a large number of anonymous edits from 129.46.66.107 (whose history consists solely of edits to this article, plus two other articles related to Anything Box). Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but this IP is located in San Diego, very close to where the band is currently based.
The original text was: "Known primarily for their 1990 hit Living in Oblivion, they also garnered some attention for releasing an album entirely in MP3 format in 2003."
The modified text (which remains to this day) was: "The band is one of primary bands which carried electronic music's transition from the late 1980's into the 1990's and beyond."
In one edit, we went from "one-hit wonder" to "primary band of their genre and era", with no citations to back it up.
I'm strongly inclined to restore the original language here, or something like it. Thoughts?

message: mark teixeria has won the award once in the AL, and now once in the NL. is this still considered winning the award twice, and does he get the "Mark Teixeria (2)" treatment? if so, should we asterisk those players who've won in different leagues? only reason i bring this up is because historically teh leagues have been much more seperated, and even now when a player is traded to another league in the middle of the season their stats are reset.

I looked back to '74 and found Gaylord Perry to be the first to win in both leagues, in the 3rd month of the AL award, so it's been going on for a while.

Twin Cities' local bands of full-time, more-skilled, professional musicians are not listed on Wikipedia, and even have had their pages removed from Wikipedia for not being relevant and important enough.

message: LZ77 is much more powerful. LZ77 is capable of finding non-local repeats, and repeats do not have to be contiguous in the string either. LZ77 finds any repeating substrings, not just consecutive repeats. Moreover, LZ77 does not compress a string such as BWWBWWBWW... as a triplet (3,"BWW"), but rather as something like BWW,[-3,3],[-6,6],..., where [-3,3] reads "copy starting at current position minus three, for three characters long".

This is intended to be an explanatory note, in case others notice the same thing I did.  While reading this article, the final letter in the italicized version of "Концерт" looked like an 'm'.  I wondered how this happened, and thought that it might be a mistake, so I did a bit of research.  What I found was that, in Russian, the italic version of a lowercase 'T' does look like an 'm'.  So if that's how your browser is rendering it, it's probably not a mistake.
