thread_title:  Inconsistencies 

message: I second Mr Jomoa in flagging up inconsistencies in the article.
In Ghana, "Twi" is specifically the language of the Ashanti. Speakers of Fante don't call their language "Twi".
Fante/Akuapem/Twi is a single language in the technical linguistic sense that speakers of one variety can understand all; as with the similar situation with Danish/Swedish/Norwegian in Europe, there is no term in normal everyday use for the whole "language".
The (basically cultural) term "Akan" has been used to describe this language in linguistic literature. Not everybody who is culturally Akan speaks Fante or Akuapem or Twi however.
Incidentally, to native English speakers, the name of the language sounds like "Chee" not "Twee" as the article suggests.
The initial consonant is much more like English "ch" than "t"; it is pronounced with simultaneous lip-rounding, which untrained native English speakers mostly can't hear at all.

message: A review of the external links to the article seem to show that none of them meet the relevant style guideline, as follows:
* In each case the principal purpose of the linked site was to sell products or services (EL point 5);
* While containing some nice images, none of the links provided a unique resource of information not otherwise available in the article (EL point 1); and
* The entire section was essentially a "list of links to manufacturers, suppliers or customers" (EL point 14).

Talk:Cinematograph

message: In my experience, cinématographe is always spelled with an "é". Shouldn't the article title and all references be changed to that? Or is there evidence that it's become an English word and thus does not need the accent? --Jeremy Butler 12:28, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And furthermore, the article consistently spells the topic "cinematograph", but  the article's title has an "e" on the end. Either the article title should be changed or all other references should be changed.  In my view, every reference should be altered to the French word, "cinématographe". --Jeremy Butler 11:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: How about an é?

message: At first, father Claude Antoine Lumière, photographer, came home one day with a short strip of film in his pocket to show it to his sons: "That´s what you should pursuit, it´s a runner in the cities." He got the sniplet of Dickson Kinetoscope film from Edison representatives in Paris.
Louis Lumière had a first prototype built by their chief mechanic at the Lyons works, Charles Moisson, in 1894. Paper film was used. Due to the sinusoïdal movement of the claws these paper strips were rapidly torn. Then came the famous "night of insomnia" of Louis. He claimed to have seen the solution to the problem, but what was really needed ?  Exactly: People who deal with machines every day. So the Lumières moved to Jules Carpentier, a then well-known engineer in Paris. Carpentier introduced his "came", the cam which gives the transporting claws a short moment of vertical rest. Suddenly contact was established with the New York Celluloïd Company, and everything became working.
The term Cinématographe stems from Bouly´s fallen patent. The Lumières legally took it over. The rest is history. --80.219.135.90 18:31, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I haven't found many references to Kuwabara in English. One is in the entry on "Minamata" in the Oxford Companion to the Photograph. This is a fascinating book and I don't regret having bought it, but in various ways it's rather obviously the first edition of an ambitious work. In this entry, the (probably terribly overworked) chief editor briefly writes of "Shishei Kuwabara", a name that also appears in the index. This is plain wrong (it's not even possible as an alternative romanized form). I hope that nobody "corrects" the title of this article in accordance with what's provided by the august Oxford University Press.

thread_title: Joyce manifold?

message: A previous version of this article contained a prominent reference to a very minor paper on a tangentially related topic. The deleted reference did not concern metrics of special holonomy, but instead was about topological reduction of the structure group of the frame bundle, which is an extremely weak condition indeed. 
I have checked MathSciNet. There are exactly 8 citations of the deleted reference, and the majority of these are self-references by one of the authors. By contrast there are well over 400 references to the cited works by Joyce. 
This article does not include citations of many important references, such as the work of Kovalev. That's fine --- it's just a short article to help the uninitiated get started. But cluttering it up with minor papers on tangential issues is not good for anyone. I hope that whoever has posted this material will understand that I have only taken it down for this clear and simple reason.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Occam1138 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

"...The ZCZC stands for start of message and is geared towards torn-tape stations where the Z and c characters will punch all five holes on the tapes providing a quick check to the operator that the tape-puncher is working correctly. The NNNN similar is a familiar one hole consecutive sequence which can be quickly identified as end of message by operators..."
While ZCZC does punch an alternating pattern of bits 1 and 5 for Z and 2,3 and 4 for C, I    dispute that NNNN is a familiar one hole consecutive sequence. N codes to bits 3 and 4. 
I was always told that ZCZC was selected as the start of message sequence as it was a letter pattern that would not be found in common text. The same was true for the end of message sequence NNNN.
