Talk:IIf

message: I saw that this was a "requested" article, and, since I knew about it, I created it.  It was not until after I created the article that I found the only thing trying to link to it was the requested articles page that requested it!  Oh well, I've now linked to it from the Visual Basic article so it won't be an orphan. --Spaceman85 | my talk 17:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Creation

message: The external link is now dead, it appears Xtras.net does not have the article any longer, so I removed it.  The criticisms did not really require citation IMO, as they are all matters of fact that revolve around the implementation of IIf as a library function that takes two Variant arguments and returns a Variant—so I reworked the section accordingly. --Mr Wednesday 22:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticism Section

message: * Oppose One is a ternary operator, this is just a function. They have the same purpose and are frequently imposed alternatives in contexts where only one is available (most programming languages have one or the other but not both). However they have important syntactic differences and this is the subject of much of their coverage. Andy Dingley (talk) 02:49, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Point of No Return (1993 film)

Talk:Wadi Rum

message: The Wadi article has the Arabic spelling as وادي (wādī), while here, the Alif is not included.  Is this correct or a mistake?  Possibly it is a Fatha rather than an Alif?  Sadly, my grasp on the Arabic language is not so good, so if someone knows, feel free to make the change!  CoachMcGuirk 17:14, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, anyone know what Rum means in Arabic?  Curious of the etymology.  Thanks! CoachMcGuirk 17:18, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  There is an alif in wadi, so I made the change.  Thanks for catching it.  As for the etymology, there doesn't seem to be a meaning behind the name. - Cybjorg 08:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

text: My understanding is that 'Rum' is a proper name and doesn't have a meaning in modern Arabic. It may have had a meaning in archaic Arabic, Aramaic or some other old language. Ashmoo 02:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I just returned from there - the Bedouin inhabitants call it the 'Moon Valley' and the 'Mountain Valley' in English, but I don't think either is a direct transliteration. Natgoo 10:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Getty Square

message: I removed a reference to the court-ordered low-income housing.  It is relevant to Yonkers as a whole, but has abolutely nothing to do with Getty Square in particular.  Its inclusion gives the impression that the decline of Getty Square has something to do with the low-income housing, when in reality the area declined at least 20 years earlier, and no court-ordered low-income housing was built in Getty Square, or anywhere near it.

replies: text: If possible, it should be just either Downtown Yonkers or Getty Square. In the title you moved it to, it sounds like Getty Square is ambiguous, and that this is referring to the square in Downtown Yonkers as opposed to another location. Epicgenius (talk) 00:48, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi  The external link area was turning into a "link farm". To bring it back in conformance with WP:ELNO I removed all of the family brand external links.  But, the parent company template that reflects the family brands was out of date, so I added both GoSmart Mobile and Walmart Family Mobile (and a few others in this article that weren't in it) to the template at the bottom of the article.

Talk:Qasr Kharana

message: I think I have to take exception with some of the information in this article.  The article states "The only other structures in the area are power lines."  Now, I haven't been to Kharana since 1989, so maybe some demolition has gone on in the time between then and now, but here's what I wrote in my diary on 3 March 1989: "Godawful development round Kharanah - when I was last there in ‘86 there was the castle and the road (which was bad enough).  Now there’s a fucking huge radio transmitter station there - pylons, masts, buildings, fences - all within about 500m of the castle.  Why the hell did they put it there when they had the whole desert to choose from?"  So unless that development has since been completely demolished, I don't think this article can be accurate.  Excuse the expletive, but I was seriously angry at the philistinism that had allowed such a hideous and thoughtless development to go ahead, and so close to such a beautiful and historic building. 86.137.138.116 (talk) 12:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I wrote that, based on my 2009 visit. I didn't remember anything like that, and nothing like it shows in the overhead photos on Google Maps. But I can look again. Daniel Case (talk) 05:45, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Simon Russell Beale

message: Apart from presenting a series about music history,  there is nothing in this article  to suggest why he is called a musical historian - is it justified?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.20.13 (talk) 17:14, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've been looking into this, and I can't see any justification for it. He's labelled "actor and music historian" all over the web, but perhaps just mirroring Wikipedia: nobody seems to substantiate it. The only relevant publication I can find is that he provided a foreword to Nicholas Kenyon's The Faber Pocket Guide to Bach (2011), which really isn't heavyweight enough to justify the label "historian". The blurb accompanying his award of an honorary doctorate by the Open University in 2010 focuses entirely on his acting, not any scholarly activity – and one would expect it to be mentioned there if anywhere. Likewise the blurb accompanying his appointment as Cameron Mackintosh Visiting Professor at Oxford in 2015. On the other hand, in 2017 he was apparently elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (also mentioned in passing in a recent online newsletter here, so seemingly not a namesake).

thread_title:  Errors in diagram 

message: The point of design patterns is to recognize general patterns so that they can be applied anywhere.  Unfortunately, the description of this pattern seems to be unnecessarily tied to a specific example both in the GOF book and in this article.  A good counter-example would be to use an interpreter to determine the taxonomic classification of a specimen such as an animal, each level of the tree delegating the identification to the proper child branch until the specimen is identified.  That identification could use image processing, chemical analysis, and other techniques which are not tied to any language.  There is no grammar to interpret, yet this is the same pattern of code.
A more general and useful definition might be a "Rules Engine" as OODesign.com suggests.  Really, it's a data structure of functional objects (each implementing the same single method).  The functional objects "rules" delegate to one another until a terminal object (rule) is reached.  The objects could be related through an interface and through the logic in their single implemented method instead of through an object-oriented inheritance hierarchy.
Hmm... I'm partly talking myself out of this.  Interpreter is what it is.  It would have been nice if GOF named it RuleDelegator because it would be more applicable to more problems and be a more useful pattern.

message: This article descibes one blast furnace and not very well.

*There is a good general article on blast furnaces.  
*Tehre might be a case for a detailed descriptionm of the surviving stack, but that is not what appears here at present.
