Talk:Robot Patent

message: Should make clear that "Robot" was a Slavic for word for "worker" or whatever (nothing to do with mechanical automatons). AnonMoos 23:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following paragraphs from the article. The material may need to be reinserted, if confirmed by proper sources:
:The word robot apparently dates back to 1920, from a play by Czech author Karel Capek called R.U.R., or "Rossum's Universal Robots. The word robot comes from the word robota meaning "drudgery", "forced labor" in literary Czech and "work",  "labor" in literary Slovak.
:However, the word ROBOT dates into 1771, to the Habsburg's empire - a ROBOT patent was issued that regulated the serf's labor in payments i.g the protection against the excesses of ROBOT (personal labor for the lords) was granted to all peasants; immigrants were exempted. In other words - it was a conversion of robot into monetary payments that was encouraged by the government - the Empress Maria Theresa.
:The Robot patent was written and/or collaborated by Adam Franz Kollár,
:Adam F. Kollár began his career at the Imperial-Royal Library in 1748 as a scribe and eventually became its chief librarian and Councilor at the Court of the Habsburgs. Most of his appointments were readily approved by Empress Maria Theresa, with whom he curried favor, whose policies he underpinned with his scholarship and who became his only child's godmother.
:Kollár is also credited with coining the term ethnology and providing its first definition in 1783. Some authors see him as one of the earliest pro-Slovak, pro-Slavic, and pan-Slavic activists in the Habsburg Monarchy.
:Maria Theresa turned to Adam F. Kollar with requests for a large number of position papers relevant to her policy... as was the ROBOT PATENT ....
:Adam F. KOLLAR (Slovak himself) derived the word ROBOT form old SLOVAK's word ROBOTA meaning   "labor" in literary Slovak.

Talk:Imbaba

message: Embaba is not the Amharic word for Doum palm. Zembaba is. In the Tigrigna and Tigre languages on the other hand, Imbaba means flower. If camel traders from the Horn of Africa are indeed the originators of the name Imbaba, they are more likely to have been speaking Tigre rather than Amharic since the Tigre speakers are largely nomadic camel-herders who inhabit the lowlands adjacent to the Nile Valley, while Amharic speakers are largely sedentary farmers in the Ethiopian highlands. --User:zeragito 22:10, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
Talk:Motion compensation

message: I propose that motion estimation be merged into motion compensation. An earlier section "Proposal: Separate Motion estimation" proposed, with justification, that they be separated, but now a page on opticla flow exists, in the presence of which motion compensation is redundant. Motion estimation can be redirected to optical flow instead. --Venkatarun95 (talk) 22:48, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger Proposal

message: I placed the context tag on this article having reached it via Random. The first line assumes far too much mentioning "frames" without any reference to video.  Read the first sentence in isolation assuming you're not already discussing video:
:Motion compensation is a way of describing the difference between consecutive frames in terms of the where each section of the former frame has moved to.
Now, as a general reader stumbling upon this, do I have a clue as to what it means? You've lost me and I move on to something else.  It may be as simple as adding the phrase "...in digital video encoding..." after "Motion compensation" but it might be achieved other ways too.  AUTiger ʃ talk/work 18:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

This is where the impact upon Ireland comes in with the first Norman invasions being Cambro-Norman and only later (1172) did the Normandy-based King of England take control.

Talk:Scree

message: I changed the word "talus" in this article from bold, to a link to "talus."  The reason I did this is because the article clearly says that talus and scree are not the same, but does not say what talus is.
I have no idea what talus is, and the explanations on this talk page sounds reasonable to me.
Right now the link to "talus" is not very useful, since it links to the disambiguation page, which as an entry that takes you back to the "scree" article.
I can't fix this without some research because I don't know what "talus" is, but if someone does know what "talus" is with certainty, please follow these steps to correct the link:
:* Create a page called "Talus (rock)" or something like that, and talk about talus.
:* On the "Talus (disambiguation)" page, change the line that refers to "Scree" either to say only "Talus (rock)" or to say both of them "Talus (rock), or Scree" (depending on if you think the word talus is always something different than scree, or if talus is sometimes used to refer to either).
:* In the "Scree" article (the one connected to this talk page), change the link for the word talus from talus to  talus
:* On this talk page, add a statement explaining the change, and remove this list of instructions.

message: Are the captioned images of the large blocks on Cross Fell and the glacier in Italy really scree? Withot being familiar with either location, from the images the former looks more like a blockfield and the latter like heaped up glacial debris. Geopersona (talk) 07:01, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that you may well be correct to doubt that these photos can be definitely described as scree. The Cross Fell photo is too close up to get any sense of its wider landform context. The Italian example also shows no suitable slope from which rockfall may have occurred. It would not surprise me if your alternative suggestions of blockfield and moraine turned out to be more accurate descriptions for these two examples, therefore making them unsuitable for inclusion in this article because they would lack the rockfall/mass wasting element of scree formation. Perhaps they should be replaced by more definite examples? GeoWriter (talk) 11:49, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
