message: The article states (emphasis mine):
:WXGA is commonly used by LCD TV sets and computer monitors for widescreen presentation.
as well as:
:Basically, WXGA means low resolution (by modern standards), wide screen (16:9), display.
Computer monitors, however, don't (commonly) use 16:9 at all. They sometimes use 3:2 (15:10), but mostly, they are 16:10.
Mostly 16:10 or 15:9 (5:3). I haven't seen any 15:10 (3:2) displays.--74.46.213.148 (talk) 13:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: LCD TV Convergence with Computer Display

message: Does anyone know why TVs so commonly use 1366x768? This seems like a ridiculously stupid design decision, as it A. requires lossy scaling of 720p content, and B. isn't exactly 16:9. Why don't they just make 720p TVs... 720p? I read something saying that common video processing chips handle the resolution better, but why not just pad the 720p data with a matte for processing and then crop it back at the display, instead of scaling it?

message: This page is subject to constant edit-warring over the percentages of the population which is muslim and christian. Neither of the percentages given at this moment are reflected in the cited sources. This is an annoying situation and I'd like to see edit-warring over this matter stop or at least slow down. I'm tired of reverting. To further complicate things, the refs given don't agree with each other at all. In either case the percentage of muslims given in the article currently is higher than any of the three sources cited. - Metal lunchbox (talk) 07:56, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've attempted to solve this problem by removing the actual number percentages and replaced them with "roughly half" since the numbers are constantly being changed from 48% to 50% to 50.4%, always roughly half.

thread_title:  Opening sentence 

message: This is an interesting topic and so much is explored! The first paragraph discussing the percentage of Muslims in Nigeria, two sources (CIA and BBC) are cited. The CIA estimates 50% of the population is Muslim[1]"in 2021 but the BBC's estimation was over 50% of Christians. It would be interesting to see this change discussed further or at least acknowledged. It may not seem like a 3% difference until we consider Nigeria's population being over 200 million. Nigeria's census has been disputed in the past by its citizens due to ethnic disagreements. Also the removal of religion from Nigeria's 2005 census due to tension between Christians and Muslims threatening to boycott it.

replies: text: Is this a newspaper thing? Or a British reprint thing, considering your use of the word "bubble"? All of the oldest Superman comics I have read has the dialogue in regular word balloons, as far as I recall. By the way, this is a bit difficult to google, since you'd mostly find discussions on why word balloons have been replaced with captions in modern Anglo-American superhero/ adventure comics. Anyhow, the cloud with circles apparently has been in use as early as 1909.  惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 15:58, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Uncle Sam's Curse

message: Removed the phrase "Although many fans feel that this is the group's best album since it's rated #1 in best G-funk sound of all time..." since it's completely unsupported.  Doesn't even list who or what is rating it #1 as such, which belies the possibility of any independent party providing a link to said source.  To top it all off the phrasing betrays more of a personal bias than a quoting of sources, so let it be added again if someone can provide a cite.

Talk:History of Algeria (1962–1999)

message: The article was originally titled History of Algeria since 1962. Some but not all content on the 90s and 2000s were removed from the article here , then a "temporary fix" was introduced by moving the article . This had the following problems:
# Reorganization has unclear what's and why's, and also appers to be incomplete.
# The 90's were left intact, making the new article name a misnomer.
# Users seeking one thing (History of Algeria since 1962) are redirected to a different topic (History of Algeria (1960s to 1980s))
# The users and editors are not instructed where the removed content was "moved" to.
My suggestion is that we revert everything (the content removal and article rename), to address the above mentioned problems.--Bxj (talk) 10:02, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Please note, I realize that the PHS article on wikipedia is separate from the commissioned corps article.

As far as I know (told by my Zen teacher), Joshu entered the monastery being 20 years old. After studying 40 years under Nansen's guidance, he left the monastery to live as a travelling monk.
