Talk:Scottish Mountaineering Club

message: This page needs the addition of some verifiable information.  After much research, I suggest that the History section be expanded to include the past history of the club with citations and that the following Headings be added for clarification: Members, Journal, Hill Lists (or Compleators), Trust (Subheadings: Scottish Mountaineering Press and Huts), and Archives. These changes, along with supported documentation, will organize the information.  PenniALiner (talk) 16:12, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heading and Organization  

message: The initial membership of a hundred was very much a cross section of the 'great and the good' of Scottish society, many of whom had an interest in mountains and mountaineering, without necessarily actually being mountaineers.
This statement lacks any citations, and the information I found contradicts it.  Any suggestions?  I think I will take this out for now, but if anyone finds the citation, please correct me! PenniALiner (talk) 16:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Women 

message: Through the Trust and its imprint, Scottish Mountaineering Press, the Club produces and publishes the definitive Climbers' Guides to Scotland's mountains and outcrops (17 books), the authoritative guides for hill-walkers and scramblers in Scotland (12 books) and a further 12 books on the Scottish mountain environment, its history and its culture, plus an annual Journal, copies of which are free to download from the Club's website. The Munros Guide is the bestseller.
This section needs revision. It reads like an advertisement and doesn't cite any sources. However, it could be important to the topic to list publications.  The Press has also won several awards.  PenniALiner (talk) 03:24, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Eringate-Centennial-West Deane

message: But still needs more work. Could someone Google the area and try to find out more about its history, population, local amenities, etc? I have also deleted this paragraph for now as it is biased and I found it hard to gain any encyclopaedic information from it:
: Of historical interest to the Centennial Park area was always Hirons farm, which was the last refuge of the old way of life in downtown Toronto up until almost 1970.  Once the Hirons farm shut down it was the end of the good old days for this neighbourhood.  The variety of income levels and housing types and values ensures that this will remain a very multi cultural neighbourhood, which is one of the commonalities of the city of Toronto's many neighbourhoods.

message: An anonymous user keeps inserting Brooks as a primary city in this article. Brooks is not, in any sense of the term, a primary city. It hasn't been a city for even 2 years yet. I do not know why anyone would think it should be listed in this sentence. Perhaps s/he thinks every city should be listed. I don't know. Nevertheless, the city that is yet to turn 2 has very little effect on the region as a whole. Perhaps I am mistaken. I would prefer to be shown that I am wrong and what verifiable information exists that shows Brooks has an area of influence comparable to Lethbridge or Medicine Hat. --Kmsiever 04:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

This is probably not the right name for the Grand Choral Synagogue of St. Petersburg which also has several other names.

Talk:John Braham (RAF officer)

message: I have just read with great interest of the career of Wing Commander "Bob" Braham. I came to the site from the de Havilland Mosquito page.
I am the son of a long-time de Havilland employee from Hatfield, and later Downsview, Ontario, Canada, and also an employee for awhile myself. I am also a helicopter pilot from the Viet Nam era.
I am fascinated by the accomplishments of Wing Commander Braham.
However, I would like to point out a descrepancy in the bio. It states that Wing Commander Braham is the leading Allied Ace in WWII in twin-engine aircraft. I would beg to differ with that statement. From the list of Allied Aces of WWII, Major Richard Bong is the leading Ace with credit for 40 aircraft destroyed. He flew the P-38 Lightning. The second highest scoring Ace also flew the P-38 Lightning. They were far ahead of the nearest pilots of any single or multi-engine fighters.
Respectfully submitted,

Talk:Autoconf

message: Most of the chatter I've read about autoconf is about how crap it is. I know of several projects that don't use autoconf because their authors hate it. However, I haven't used it much so I don't feel qualified to write about it (also I don't really have an opinion myself). I think some criticism needs to be cited here, else it seems quite biased in favour. Hairy Dude (talk) 16:25, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of autoconf 

message: :"The Autoconf approach to portability is to test for features, not for versions. For example, the native C compiler on SunOS 4 did not support ISO C. However, it is possible for the user or administrator to have installed an ISO C compliant compiler. A pure version-based approach would not detect the presence of the ISO C compiler, but a feature testing approach would be able to discover the ISO C compiler the user had installed."
And how does autoconf check arbitrary programs if they provide ISO C compiler functionality? --Abdull (talk) 23:36, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Users can tune the behaviour of the configure script by specifying where to find the functionality. For the cited example "CC=my_supposed_iso_c ./configure" will do the job. There are also macros that can be used to detect compilers, by investigating if they are in their standard installation location. The checks are performed by compiling (and eventually running) small programs that depends on specific behaviours. If the compilation is succesfully, the compiler is supposed to have the desired behaviour.--Giuliopaci (talk) 20:00, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Need a more recent arena picture

message: According to the NBA highlights of the games, attendance of Pelicans home games in the Smoothie King Center is typically about 18,500 for sold out games.  The reference in the article that lists the capacity for NBA basketball at 16,000 is incorrect (I don't think it's ever been correct, sounds like an ice hockey capacity, maybe?).  This capacity has a citation, but the citation is a PDF document that requires press credentials do download.
If that document listed 16,000 as a capacity at one time, I'll bet it has been updated or corrected.
I'm having trouble finding a Wikipedia acceptable citation for 18,500 though.  Would linking the NBA's official game attendance information (which is easy to find and doesn't require an account) be an acceptable reference?
