Talk:Thue (programming language)

message: The last program does not look like it would produce the results that its introduction indicates.  I assume it must be called with 'r' so that rules are evaluated right-to-left.  Otherwise, the program terminates immediately and does not rewrite the input.  When running with 'r', it would produce one rewrite from 'abc' to 'ac'.  But, at that point, it would halt.  So, either way, the intended result wouldn't be achieved.
Maybe this would be more effective (called with 'l'):
 b::=~0
 b::=~1
 a::=ba   -- or quite possibly a::=ab (depending on which end of the string the pattern matcher starts)
 ::=
 a
I could be wrong about this so if the original author is around or someone else can confirm, then the main page can be corrected.  At the very least, a more detailed explanation of the 'nondeterminism' of Thue is called for, in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by  Johanatan  (talk • contribs)  15 June 2007 
:The example is correct as it is. The initial state 'abc' is transformed by either of the two first rules to 'ac' while sending either 0 or 1 to the output stream. Then 'ac' is replaced by 'abc' using the third rule, and everything repeats. Thomas Nygreen (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess the creator did not care if the leading underscore was left there or not. To make the result completely predictable, just add an underscore to the last rule (i.e. _1++::=_10). Then the leading underscore will always be kept. Thomas Nygreen (talk) 16:06, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

text: It had several bugs, including a major one where _0_ could result in _1 or __ (this being completely incorrect). This was fixed by adding one simple statement, but it doesn't do anything for the leading underscore issues. The first issue is the non-deterministic removal of the leading underscore when there are leading zeros. The second issue is the removal of the leading underscore when there are no (more) leading zeros and a carry happens into the most significant digit, while the trailing underscore is always removed. It seems the easiest would be to always leave the leading underscore. Below is a program that would solve both always leaving the leading underscore, while also solving the _0_ case in a slightly different way Jordsan (talk) 19:42, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Peace

message: This article is rather absurdly long, substantially longer than the Jack the Ripper article - which deals with a much more well-known criminal.  At the least breaking it up into subpages would be good.  Perhaps I will find the time at some point myself.  Ataru 02:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am objecting on what amount to admittedly idealistic and unrealistic grounds.  Would you expect to find an aricle of such lengh on this individual in an encyclopedia?  Certainly not, but then again Wikipedia has even more absurdly long articles on things as un-encylopedic as particular anime series.  So clearly length and detail aren't valid grounds for complaint under any circumstances.  Tellingly, I think the Jack the Ripper page would be substantially longer if it weren't divided into subpages, so what this article really (really) needs is simply a reorganization and division into headings and subheadings (and, yes, subpages, even though it strikes me as ridiculous overkill given the subject).  The article as it is is extremely dense and inaccessible, making it a strong candidate for at least some reorganization.  Ataru 05:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The previous version was so long, it was quite unencylopedic  -  more like half a book, or at least a magazine serialisation.
Comparisons to Jack the Ripper (above) are not really valid. As a topic, the Ripper story is suited to a whole fleet of link-pages dedicated to each of the victims and each of the suspects, as well as the long history of Ripperology itself. Also it has spawned multiple references from which to draw citations. The story of Charles Peace does not compare.

message: I removed the following sentence: "Most of these songs today are rare." as, in a certain sense, it does not make any sense. My guess is that most of the Shocking Blue's catalog is not widely available (ie: rare) today. Perhaps the original editor meant to state that the songs referred to were not well known at the time of their initial release by many outside of the group's ardent fans. If someone with more knowledge on this subject can verify what was intended, please feel free to add the information back into the article in a more clearly stated form.

They disbanded before this band started up but they have albums as well and in music sharing circles their music is more prevelent.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.86.73.183 (talk) 16:05, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Almost all the "history" entries for California highways tell us nothing about the actual history, but simply when certain routes were either designated or re-numbered. There's nothing on the construction history, that is, when built, when extended or expanded. So it's all kind of useless from the point of view of trying to figure out when the actual building went on, when they were opened, and so forth.

Talk:Third siege of Girona

message: I've removed this claim from the article, as there seems to be no indication to this effect in the citation that was supporting it. The fact that it inspired resistance elsewhere does not make it a 'Pyrrhic victory' for the French. Gerona did have an effect on morale of the Spanish, just like the Siege of Saragossa (1809), but it did not change the strategic picture, thus there can be no talk of a Pyrrhic victory. --Alexandru Demian (talk) 16:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed Pyrrhic victory claim 

message: I was a primary contributor to is article.  The recently changed the spelling of the town from Girona to Gerona,  opened up a sensitive subject.  The former spelling is Catalan and the commonly used name in Catalonia, while the latter is the Spanish.  What's sensitive about it is it is related to Catalan national identity.  I believe that Girona is the proper name for the article on Wikipedia, since it is the functioning name for the city.  Traveling English speakers would use Girona as a practical matter.  It is an ongoing issue however, with those striving to downplay the Catalan identity preferring the Spanish spelling.  There was a minor battle over the use of Empúries, rather than Ampurias, for example.  It was noted "sources use Gerona", but that is not altogether true - many sources use Girona; older sources, from a time when the Francoist government was suppressing the Catalan language, use the Spanish version.  I am tending to want to revert the article name and spelling standard back to its former state.  I adopt the notion that Catalan places should have Catalan names, as are used in Catalonia.

Talk:Hashimoto, Wakayama

message: I removed the following from the article as it is poorly formatted and is in a form not acceptable for Wikipedia. 
:Hashimoto is on the border of Wakayama, Osaka and Nara prefectures, located about an hour by the Nankai train line to Namba, Osaka.  The Nankai line is also used to reach Koyasan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  It is beautiful up there and should be visited once every season!  
:The Hash is fairly rural, however a new shopping mall (quite small though) has been built on the east side of the city.  Highway 24 is the major road running through Hashimoto and it is used for commuting to Wakayama-city and the rest of Wakayama, as well as Nara.  Currently an express highway linking Wakayama to Kyoto through Nara is being built.  However as of 2005, it is not complete and the estimated finishing date is years away.  The Kinokawa river runs alongside the city and in the old days, brought prosperity since it connected to the sea.  Recently (2005), Koyaguchi-city joined Hashimoto-city.  There is no movie theatre and not a lot of entertainment/facilities.  A sports center was built a few years ago and you can go play soccer/tennis/badminto or watch cultural events there.  In the summer a water park is open for you to enjoy.  As well, there is an older bowling alley about 40 minutes walk from Hashimoto-station (you can take the train to the next stop east and it is much closer).  There are a few restaurants, mainly small, locally run.  However you can find a franchisesd Chinese restaurant called Bamiyan and a Mos Burger is in the new mall.  A McDonalds is located along HWY 24 on the way to Gojo, Nara.  This area is famous for a special kind of sushi wrapped in a fragrant leaf.  Persimmons and mikans are also a regional speciality.  During the middle of August, there is the Kinokawa Festival with fireworks and all sorts of performances/little food booths.  Many girls dress up in their yukatas and everyone has a good time.  I lived in Hashimoto for 2 years as an ALT (Assistant English teacher) for the high school and it is a very good place to live.  It is quiet and peaceful and you don't have the fuss and bustle of Osaka.  Yet, only an hour away by train are theatres, tons of restaurants, thousands of shops and interesting things to do/see in Osaka and Nara and Kyoto and even Kobe.  If you are working/living in Hashimoto, you are lucky to be so close to such major cities and the airport. (originally added to the article here by 61.214.248.4).
If this material can be made more encyclopedic, there is some of it which would be acceptable for inclusion in the article. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:07, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
