Talk:Polytunnel

message: Deleting the controversy section. Unless arguments for why polytunnels are a good or bad farming technique, or good/bad for the land, it's hardly a controversy. It's a disguised bias point of view. [july 2, 2006-srm]
:The controversy section as it stood was not particularly encyclopaedic. However, that there is a controversy surrounding the use of polytunnels in the UK is relevant. Quoting from a radio programme transcript is just not the best way to go about it. Holford 02:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. A controversy most certainly exists in the west Midland shire counties (eg Herefordshire) about whether or not large expanses of polytunnels are damaging the appearance of the countryside to the detriment of tourism - which in many places is more important to the local economy than farming. It seems to have died down a bit in 2007 and 2008, though, possibly because outdoor tourism has itself been hit by two poor summers. 86.136.250.170 (talk) 22:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Seeing a Large Cat

message: I added a Reviews section, with 3 substantial reviews so far. The article is marked for British English and dmy date format. The Plot summary is in progress. Text describing narrative voice was moved to a new section with that title.

Talk:Pécsi MFC

message: Dear all,
Looking at all the wiki pages of different team around the world, or even at the page of Hungarian teams, I think it's time to upload the logo of Pécsi MFC as well. I am not really familiar with the different copyright regulations on Wiki, but if the admins let other sport teams' logo uploaded, there should be a solution to this case, too.
Could any expert help me with this, please? Should I write an email to the club asking for their permission? Would that be sufficient?
Thank you in advance,

Talk:The Screwfly Solution

message: This Wikipedia article seems to suffer from general formatting errors and weak writing.
For example, the ‘plot summary’ section is not order (the wiki writer talks about the 3 women stealing a plane BEFORE the murder of Amy), neither does the story ever mention the ‘Garden of Eden’. Also, when describing how the Son’s of Adam are not worried about human reproduction without women, the Wikipedia writer says “(they were unclear about what exactly would happen)”. I feel like this misrepresents the scene, as the Son’s of Adam are unclear intentionally as it is part of their theology.
This Wikipedia also has an ‘explanation of key concepts’ section which includes character names for some reason? This section also includes an explanation of the lordosis reflex that includes the line: “In the story, it is exaggerated in human females to the point of them passively accepting death by male aggression.” Which is just false and is explicitly the opposite in the story. This section should be rewritten to include: The Screwfly Solution(s), Lordosis reflex, the link between male aggression and male sexual response, and the intertropical convergence zone.
I intend to rewrite a large portion of this Wikipedia article soon.  Rehema.karanja (talk) 23:34, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

message: I began to edit this page to make the style more encyclopedic then saw afterwards that the factual material was essentially lifted from the "Music Theater International" article to which it was linked.

Talk:Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer

message: In the following exerpt:  "When the Court asked if the government took the position that "when the sovereign people adopted the Constitution, . . . it limited the powers of the Congress and limited the powers of the judiciary, but it did not limit the powers of the Executive", he assured Judge Pine that it did. He was, however, unable to name any cases that had held that the Court had this power."
It seems to me from the text that the last clause should read "...unable to name any cases that had held that the Executive [or President] had this power." Is this an error? --agr 22:29, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Minor Vandalism

message: I am no authority on this subject, just a wikipedia user. I would like to make a few complaints because this particular entry is not very well done unlike other entries on significant court decisions in the U.S.  Why is there only one citation? In my American history class, my professor said that Truman did invoke the Taft-Hartley act, which gives 80 days to find common ground, but that after 80 days none was reached and only then did he seize the mills.  The opening few sentences in the background section talk about the government not repeating wartime economic interventions carried out in WW2, but these aren't clearly explained for the layman (like myself) to understand. Thats as far as I got before losing patience. I hope I don't have more complaints as I continue reading this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zejoro (talk • contribs) 04:10, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Did the steel industry capitalists receive compensation for the illegal seizure that happened, no matter how short-lived? Did the Congress impeach Turman for his illegal act?
If the SCOTUS actually allowed gov't to seize the steelworks, how could Truman pay for their worth? I think the US steel industry at the time was worth more than the 4000 tons of gold stored at Fort Knox. I heard just compensation as per US constitution must be given in objects of real value, i.e. paper money dollars can be refused. 91.83.19.117 (talk) 21:14, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

message: It has been suggested at Talk:Hurricane Stan (disambiguation)#What I would do:
The next step from there is merging the storm names together by letter: List of storm names (A), List of storm names (U-Z), etc. This way, we wouldn't have to move hundreds of pages to the new title, just combine them. Here is my idea for how it would look. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  15:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: I have created new categories at :Category:Named storms and :Category:Lists of named storms following long and involved discussions at Talk:Hurricane Stan (disambiguation)#Requested move 22 October 2016.
However it was subsequently and rightly pointed out to me that a suitable category already exists at :Category:Set indices on storms, and I see that User:Tavix has now deleted one of them as empty (which it was, but I'd like to discuss it) citing C1 (which it wasn't, but no great damage done).
Our focus is on the reader. They don't necessarily know what a Set Index is. Best to keep it simple. Lists of named storms is recognizable, concise, natural, precise, and consistent (WP:AT of course).
See also Wikipedia:Categorization#Naming conventions and Wikipedia:Category names: Category names should be specific, neutral, inclusive and follow certain conventions, such as "Natural history of Venezuela", "Hospitals in Denmark" or "Australian journalists". Both of these say much the same thing... normal naming rules in general ie WP:AT.
And as a category can't be moved... when one is renamed every article in it needs to be recategorised... best to discuss the name before adding more articles to it. (There are some automated tools that do help the editing but I haven't explored them.)

Category talk:American aikidoka

message: I saw the discussion topic in Mitsugi Saotome's discussion page, and saw that Hiroshi Ikeda has been removed from this list, over the lack of citable sources that indicate that they are naturalized US citizens.
I am wondering why we are restricting "American Aikidoka" to US citizens. It seems to me that teaching in the US on a permanent basis is neccessary and sufficient to be an "American Aikidoka." Does use of the term "American" or some other place name cause some Wikipedia guideline to come into play that forces this? If so, I would like to see that listed in the discussion page for any teacher who is removed from the list for the purpose of clarification. If the definition is up to us then I really think the country they teach in, or in the case of most of these guys, built organizations in, is more important than whether they are greencard holders or full citizens. FYI Both Ikeda Sensei and Saotome Sensei are naturalized US citizens but this is not frequently documented since nobody really cares. Transentient (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Wikipedia uses a category tree to sort articles - it is a pretty robust way of dealing with a huge variety of articles.  Some people prefer a single list rather than the category tree so for some topics we have both.  Its not a big deal.

Talk:The Weekly Observer

message: Uganda's Vice President, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya, sued the paper for defamation after it reported that he had acquired a plush residential house belonging to a public institution, the National Social Security Fund, through under-the-table dealings. He withdrew the case after the papers' lawyers promised to expose in court the Vice President's long trail of dubious dealings.
After the Weekly Observer published details of a classfied, damning report on corruption in the military establishment involving "ghost soldiers" (maintanance of tens of thousands of non-existent soldiers on the payroll), the government got a court injuction barring the paper from revealing more details of the corruption scandal. President Yoweri Museveni subsequently threated to close the paper, along with The Monitor and The Red Pepper newspapers.

Talk:Digital video

message: I'd suggest it is untrue to state that pixels "have only one property - their colour". Surely, their shape is also a property - an important one in that non-square pixels are an essential determinant of the aspect ratio?

thread_title:  A "fact" about PIXELs ? 

message: In the section, "Overview of basic properties", it is stated that the units of W and H are pixels.  Another statement that could be made is that W is in units of pixels/line and H is in units of lines/frame.  If W is 480 pixels/line and H is 640 lines/frame it follows that 
:pixels \ per \ frame = pixels/frame = 480 (pixels/line) \times 640 (lines/frame) =
: 480 \times 640 (pixels/frame) = 307,200 \ pixels \ per \ frame.
On the other hand if you use pixels as units for W and H, you get the rather meaningless units of pixels square for pixels per frame. RHB100 (talk) 21:33, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Unit of W and H

message: In order to amend the untrue "fact" I allude to above, perhaps something along the lines of the following will be considered acceptable?..
Digital video comprises a series of orthogonal bitmap digital images displayed in rapid succession at a constant rate. In the context of video, these images are called frames. The rate at which frames are displayed is enumerated in frames-per-second (FPS).
Since each frame is an orthogonal bitmap digital image, it comprises a raster of pixels (short for "picture elements"), areas of the image meant to be too small to be perceived individually, but which determine the colour and brightness information of the whole image. Pixels have two properties: colour and dimension. The colour of a pixel is represented by a fixed number of bits. The more bits defining each pixel, the more subtle the variations in colour that are reproduced; this is called the colour depth (CD) of the video. Pixels are rectangular in shape (possibly square), and the dimensions of the pixels comprising each frame are a determinant of the aspect ratio of the video. For example, the frames of a PAL video 720 pixels across and 576 pixels high will, if the video aspect ratio is 4x3, be composed of rectangular pixels with proportions of 1.0666 to 1; but if the video aspect ratio is 16x9, then the pixels will be rectangular with proportions of 1.4222 to 1. (In other words, "widescreen" is in this case achieved by altering the dimensions rather than the number of pixels.)

Talk:America West Airlines Flight 556

message: I'm editing the violation of America West Policy..  Depending on AWA's definition of a "flight" the pilots had 8 minutes from opening their bar tab at 10:30 p.m. until the 12 hour cut off at 10:38 p.m.  As this also leads into the defense argument I think its better to go a little more general, and not adopt a specific POV.  If however information about AWA's policy definition of a "flight" was added to the article to clarify when it begins to better define the 12 hour rule, that would be great Cliffb 22:53, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Color correction is a general term that applies to graphics and photography as well as filmmaking.  Instead of merging this article somewhere, or moving it, information should be added about other types of color correction, and if need-be, sections that subsequently get too long can be split out into their own articles.  Recently, the color balance article has been getting some attention, but there is information relevant to this article at color balance, white point, and color temperature, among other places.  --jacobolus (t) 07:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
