Category talk:British coats of arms

message: I have created a new sub-category, Category:British Overseas Territories coats of arms, to group a number of similar articles together. Also, I may be wrong, but, I think users looking at British heraldry won't particularly be wanting to see the arms from across the globe being grouped with those from Britain itself. However, if they do, there's a link to the sub-category.

Talk:Mini-Cassette

message: I took a stab at improving the logo image, working from the extremely poor quality bitmap image originally posted to Wikipedia (:File:MiniCassetteLogo.png).  My contribution, :File:Mini-Cassette_logo.svg is a best-guess of how the original logo appeared, but I may have gotten some details in the character shapes wrong.  Repeated, extensive searches of the Internet with various graphics search engines have not yielded any better examples from which to work, and as I've never owned any Mini-Cassette equipment, I have no recourse to original manufacturer's documentation or hardware samples.Since the original bitmap image is no longer used anywhere on Wikipedia, it will most likely get automatically deleted in short order.  Accordingly, I embedded the bitmap image in the SVG file on a hidden layer.  Use Inkscape to open it and view it. — QuicksilverT @ 00:49, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:NT (cassette)

message: The article currently states,
NT stands for Non-Tracking, meaning the head moves at a shallower slope to that of the tracks on the tape, crossing several during each pass, albeit only reading partial data from each one. By making several passes it is possible to reassemble the complete data for each track, in memory. This considerably reduced the complexity and size of the head, and, therefore, the recorder.  The wording sounds dubious, perhaps a bit misleading.  As worded, it implies Sony engineers deliberately made the machine to move the tape faster during playback, which, though not impossible, seems unlikely, as it would have required a ridiculously huge buffer memory, able to store many minutes of 32 kHz stereo audio data so that the sound could be played back in real time, slower than it was coming off the tape.Helical scan recording systems typically use a separate linear control track to synchronize the rotary heads with the helical tracks; tape speed is precisely controlled with a capstan roller driven by a synchronous motor or servo motor.  The NT system evidently lacked room for a separate linear recording head to lay down and read a control track, so the rotary heads couldn't be precisely synchronized with the previously recorded tracks.  Another explanation of how it worked might be that during playback the heads in the drum traversed the tape at an angle identical to, or very close to the angle at which the tracks were recorded, with allowance for manufacturing variations from one recorder to another and tape expansion and contraction due to temperature and humidity.  Since the recording is digital, most likely with embedded error-correcting code (ECC), two or three passes of a track on playback would yield sufficient information to reconstruct a complete, error-free track in memory before converting the data to an analog signal.  The head might move at a shallower or steeper slope than the recorded track.  This could be accomplished within a very moderate buffer memory size, just large enough to store the amount of data needed to mask the fraction of a second when the cassette reversed direction.  The system also had to contend with decoding tracks recorded at two different angles, depending on which direction the tape was moving during recording.  Having "forward" and "reverse" tracks on the same tape creates the potential for one set of tracks interfering with the other.  Was this solved by using two different types of heads in the drum, with the gaps slanted or biased in opposite directions to minimize magnetic domain interference on the tape?  This would have been a difficult problem, miniaturizing the mechanisms to that degree.This is speculation on my part, based on having worked in the helical scan recording business years ago.  Perhaps someone familiar with the technical details of the Sony NT system can eventually fill in the gaps in the article. — QuicksilverT @ 18:29, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Dieter Gerhardt

message: I am unsure that the statement that "other authors suggest that newly declassified documents increase the credibility" of Gerhardt's claims mean. What documents?  His claims actually amount to very little - that there was a joint exercise with Israel - but no SA ships were involved, and that he knows nothing about the exercise. That seems to mean only that it was a purely Israeli operation. If SA was involved in planning or liaison he would, as head of the main Naval Base, have been aware of the details. He says he was not. The implication also is that no SA weapons were involved. Gerhardt is about the least reliable source imaginable. But if his claims are given any weight they go against the argument that Vela was a SA nuclear test, rather than support the claim it was one. He seems to be saying that it was an entirely Israeli nuclear test.Royalcourtier (talk) 22:37, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vela Incident 

message: Gerhardt was the former Simonstown base commander, and a commodore, when he was arrested. How could his rank of rear admiral be restored later? Or had he been promoted after leaving ST?  He was arrested in the USA, where he was at university. Doesn't this mean that he had ceased to be base commander, and had been promoted on leaving that post? If that is the case, he was neither the ST commander nor a commodore, but a rear admiral and a former base commander. Either way, the article needs correcting.Royalcourtier (talk) 22:40, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rank 

message: Popular Mechanics may have contended "that the mystery surrounding the incident may finally have been resolved if Gerhardt were a more credible source", however Gerhardt actually gave no information about the event. He merely claims it was a "nuclear test" involving Israel and SA, but no SA ships. That is saying very little, even if he was credible.203.80.61.102 (talk) 19:29, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Telephone banking

message: The article, in its original version, already mentioned that a telephone banking service usually offers "the possibility to speak to a live representative located in a call centre or a branch, although this feature is not guaranteed to be offered 24/7."  So there was no need to repeat it. This is why I removed the "weasel" tag.

Template talk:Campaignbox Eastern Front (World War I)

message: This template seems rather confusing to me. Major operations like the Brusilov Offensive are hidden behind names that seem only barely related (the Brusilov Offensive article mentions "Lutsk" only thrice, and not as an alternative name for the campaign). On the other hand, the template includes a rather detailed account of comparatively minor skirmishes involving the Polish Legions. This combination obscures rather than helps understand what the main events on the Eastern Front were. Thus I propose the following changes:
*Remove battles and campaigns below a certain threshold of importance and magnitude. Personally I'd set the cut-off at the level of corps at least, armies would likely be better. 
*Use natural names for the covered events, namely, the names of the target articles. When the target article gives multiple names, additional names might be added in parentheses (ie "Kerensky (July) Offensive").
That should make for a more helpful template. The removed battles might be covered in more detailed campaignboxes if desired, similar to how Template:Campaignbox Hundred Days 1918 covers events within a specific campaign that's mentioned in Template:Campaignbox Western Front (World War I). Huon (talk) 16:38, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn´t remove battles unless the campaigns to which they belong have articles that can be included instead. Yes, this campaignbox is about a front and therefore campaigns would be much better but there simply are cases where there is no campaign article yet. So whenever a battle has its own article but no belonging campaign article it should, in my opinion, be considered notable enough for this template. However I share your confusion about the name hiding and support the use of campaign article names within the box. And just for the records, the Brusilov Offensive already has it´s own campaignbox (including Lutsk). ...GELongstreet (talk) 20:33, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Religious hypocrisy

message: As one who has previously seen a "Disputed Paragraph" removed because it was original research I must now insist that the un-sourced sentence "Since the alibi involves evidence of innocence rather then guilt, the privilege against self-incrimination is not implicated" gets the same treatment. Unless and until a reliable source can be found to support the statement, of course. 
In the mean time I would like to repeat that the statement is obviously false (not that that matters if a source can be found to support it, I know). 
Many miscarriages of justice have been carried out as a result of the statistical illiteracy of judges and/or expert witnesses (e.g. Lucia de Berk, Sally Clark). In situations where multiple crimes are allegedly committed by the same person, the prior disclosure of alibis can be used to make the charges fit the (un)available alibis leading to extreme cases of Prosecutor's fallacy. In combination with the statistical illiteracy of said people this selection bias can go (and has gone) a long way to producing convictions for people that would have had an alibi if the charges had been defined without prior knowledge of available alibi(s).
