Talk:F. B. Rogers Silver Co.

message: we have a teapot with crown/18 83 on each side, with "rogers siver co" written under neath,
we can find f.b. rogers trademarks , but cant seem to find a "rogers siver co mark"
can you help?
I too have a Rogers Silver Co piece.  It is a child's cup. Above the crown/cross there are words that say 'made by mark'.  To the left of the crown/cross is the number 18 and to the right is the number 83.  Below that in larger type is FB Rogers Silver Co, but it looks as though whoever stamped/punched this in had to do it again as the FB Rogers lettering is a double strike.  Under this is Taunton Mass and under this is the word 'quadruple' and under this is the larger type number 3315.  All of the letters-words are centeredDickerer (talk) 23:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Salamiyah was not a center of Christianity, it was not even considered a city by George of Cyprus or Hierocles in the 6th century. Salamias was a city that had an exempt bishopric within the Antioch patriarchy. It was located in the Roman province of Siria I, near Antioch, in a currently unlocated location. The location of the current city of Salamiyah corresponds to the ancient Roman province of Phoenicia Libanesia. See the works of Le Quien, Vailhé, Honigmann and Devreesse.

Talk:Abu Kamal

message: It would be of value if someone were to state clearly whether the "correct" name were Albu Kamal or Abu Kamal.  The Syrian road signs say Albu so I believe that inasmuch as the Asad government has any legitimacy over nomenclature remaining, that is probably accurate.  But is there a back story?  Do some tribes traditionally say Abu?  Is Albu an abscure Aramaic-origin word for "family" not accepted by tribals of the region?  Is the confusion merely a function of Arabic's tendancy to flip consonants in popular contexts without worrying to much about them (like mutzawaj/mutjawaz)?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.253.194.1 (talk) 17:11, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

message: No one may write here such things like C0 control codes are mapped to graphics characters. Apparently there is no distinctive behaviour of CP850 with respect to C0 control codes among other DOS code pages. Generally the topic "what C0 controls maps to in DOS code pages" is a bit controversial (see Code page 437). C_850.NLS file from Windows maps C0 codes to identical UCS codes, not to card suits etc, just like for all other code pages. On the other hand, almost all EGA/VGA screen fonts contain some glyphs for 1–31 code points (0 is usually blank), which more or less resemble some Unicode graphic characters. Fonts and other environment for CP850 are not unusual compared to CP437 or, say, code page 866. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:42, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  I think there is a slight error in the algorithm's description 

message: Is that GNU_MP code snippet useful?
# It's not all that readable, so it doesn't really add to the article content (except in length).
# It's also debatable whether it is correct. The catch is that m is presumed to fit in an unsigned long, since the array of baby-step indices is an array of such, but m is computed as the square root of a bignum, which can be a lot larger. One could make an argument that there is an implicit assumption that the code is not to be used for input that would anyway take "forever" to process, but then the choice of using multiple-precision arithmetic becomes suspect, because all numbers should fit comfortably in an integer with just twice the number of bits as an unsigned long (i.e., an unsigned long long, at least under some compilers).
# Finally, the table design and lookup mechanism become troublesome asymptotically, if one imagines that the unsigned long bug is fixed. Binary search in a table with m elements requires O(\log m) comparisons, but those comparisons need to examine at least O(\log m) bits to distinguish elements, so one would expect a time complexity of O((\log m)^2) for just one table lookup. The bitlength of the group elements is O(\log n) = O(\log m), so any fast algorithm for bignum arithmetic (e.g. the Karatsuba algorithm at O((\log n)^{\log_2 3}) = O((\log m)^{1.59}) is asymptotically dominated by the subsequent O((\log m)^2) lookup step. That's pretty silly. 130.243.68.122 (talk) 12:24, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you and just replaced it with a C++-example that should be a great improvement, though maybe still not perfect.

message: The articles says
> The Baby-step giant-step algorithm is often used to solve for the shared key in the Diffie Hellman key exchange, when the modulus is a prime number.
Why would the shared key "often" be "solved?" The chosen group size is a large prime number so that it can't be "solved."  To say it can "often" be "solved" would imply that the protocol is often broken and therefore useless.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.239.7.211 (talk) 06:40, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

message: I am trying to pick up on this project.  The main change I will make is the use of cadastre which is a survey of land, in Danish "Matrikel".  However it gets confusing because in Danish, "matrikel" is used for the survey itself, the register in which the records are kept, and the plots of land that it recorded.  When Danes say "matrikel nummer 146" they mean lot #146 as recorded in the cadastre.
Also, I will try for a more line for line translation of the Danish page.--SVTCobra 22:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cadastre 

message: I "re-translated" the page from the Danish, using the existing page as an outline. It seemed to be an act of futility to try to translate all Dansish street names, so I eliminated those that were already there. I only left translations of the main gates. Churches that were translated I simply labeled as churches and got rid of the translation.
This article is so rife with proper names that it becomes unreadable if you translate them all, and since they are proper names - should they be translated at all? "Vestergade" is "Vestergade" not West Street, after all.--SVTCobra 03:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Since the peer review hasn't turned up any responses I'll add mine: this is adequately referenced, comprehensive, and appears to be a good example of Wikipedia bringing a topic to light that would be difficult to find in English language sources.  That said, as an FAC it might suffer from total reliance on Danish language sources and heavy reliance on a single text.  Is there nothing in the English language that mentions this piece of history?  The introduction and consequences receive light treatment relative to the chronological events of the fire.
