message: I removed these sections (last edit with them in it: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Winamac,_Indiana&oldid=447972819)
I feel they have very little encyclopedic content.  I do feel that Power of the Past could be respectfully mentioned in the article, or that the Isis movie theater has existed in the same location since 1936 if there were sources for that.  If anyone has time/resource to articulate these appropriately that would be nice. --nezZario (talk) 22:07, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Karl Ernst von Baer

message: There's a major error here that should be corrected.  Baer was never president of the Russian Geographical Society.  He was, for a time, chairman of its Ethnographic Division (I believe the dates were 1845-1848 and then 1858 to 1860).  The nominal leader of the Geographic Society was the Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolaevich, while the practical responsibilities were carried out by the Vice-President Fedor Litke.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.198.156.193 (talk) 15:55, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

You are likely referring to Jim Yellig, who portrayed Santa Claus at Santa Claus Land (now Holiday World) from 1946 until his death in the 1980's.  Charles Howard was another famous Santa Claus associated with the town of Santa Claus.  After he had only a handful of students at his first Santa School in Albion, New York, he held an enormously successful Santa School in Santa Claus, Indiana's Candy Castle in 1938 that received national publicity.  Charles went on to national fame and became the first Santa in Macy's parade.  Interestingly enough, Jim Yellig was a student in Charles Howard's Santa School in 1938.

thread_title:  Sleeve 

message: Why is an 'ownership dispute' and the 'unlikely re-release in the near future' of LC's music seen over and over again on this and other pages? It sure sounds like a promotional ploy to get ppl eager for future releases in fact. first off this is not a criticism against the band, i was a fan back in the day and vernon reid is blisteringly shredular but..
This phrase is uncited on this page and a few others involving the Commercial Aspects of the Creative Material of the band Living Colour (not the funny Wayans' show 'In Living Color' for those who don't remember they were both popular at exactly the same time, sometimes making it confusing to reference one or the other) . Anyway...shouldn't there be something about why? Or if it is already on the band page, can this and the other instances be linked to it to settle the ambiguity? I'm not sure I myself can go and find a citable reference as to what the ownership dispute is about and who it is between, and maybe it doesn't matter since it's not pertaining to the actual music recorded. But someone's got it up already without citing it apparently, and it actually looks gossipy or possibly outdated. Phaedrx (talk) 08:52, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Port address translation

message: What is the difference between port forwarding and port address translation?  — Omegatron 15:43, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
For the record, it's that port address translation is a method of dynamically assigning source ports from an exposed public ip for connections to a remote server from an internal private ip, whereas port forwarding forwards a destination port on a exposed public ip to an internal server on a private ip, all the time.Nimmo 15:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  improvement of PAT 

message: Some suppliers treat PAT and NAT as distinct.  Others use NAT as a cover term including PAT and other types of NAT.  The wide availability of broadband NAT routers that actually provide PAT suggests that the term PAT should not be treated as a separate technology but as a type of NAT in line with common experience.  Therefore, I suggest that this PAT page be modified to no longer discuss NAT vs PAT as though PAT is not a form of NAT.  It would be appropriate to acknowledge that some vendors use the term NAT to refer exclusively to basic NAT, but not all vendors do so.

Talk:List of sign languages

message: I wonder if it would help if we add a column to these tables for a language's ISO 639-3 code, when it has one.  It seems rather odd that when we use those codes in so many places in WP, we haven't used them here.  Of course, a lot of sign languages don't have ISO codes, but this will be one way of calling attention to that fact.  BTW, I have a readily-available list, already sorted by continent and language name, so it would be fairly easy for me to do this.  In other words, if others agree, I'm happy to be the one to do the grunt-work.  Ping me if you have comments.  AlbertBickford (talk) 23:11, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure I see the point.  We used to use ISO codes in a lot of family articles, and this page, because we didn't have individual articles on the languages.  I've been removing them as language articles were created.  Other editors have been removing them too; the lack of objection over several years constitutes silent consensus.  The only place I can think of where we still use them is spurious language (because many of those "languages" still do not have articles) and in the list of artificial languages that mentions Kotava and Romanova, whose articles have been deleted as not notable.  If we restore them here, why not add them to thousands of family articles?  I don't see any advantage in doing that.  — kwami (talk) 00:11, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Scottish Certificate of Education

message: Much of this article is derived from an older version of the O-grade article; I'm not claiming this as entirely my own work. As the content was rather more generic than an article on 'O-Grades' would warrant, and as there was no article on the Scottish Certificate of Education, I moved it here.
Fourohfour 16:14, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Attribution 

message: The SCEs were not in themselves accepted by the older Scottish universities: instead up to 1968 or 1969 candidates had to send their results to a joint board which issued an "Attestation of Fitness" which listed the examination passes they had approved. They did not accept Ordinary Level Arithmetic as a university qualifying subject: I don't know if practical subjects were excluded also.
The SCE Examination Board issued "Preliminary" examination papers on the same syllabus, which schools could use for their own internal exams ("first prelims" and "second prelims") in December and March. These were invigilated in the same way as the public exams, and those who were unable to take the public exams through injury or illness could get aegrotat passes instead on the basis of these.
There were no resit exams at the end of the calendar year, but the Scottish Universities Preliminary Examinations were available before the start of the university term and the subjects appeared to have an identical syllabus. 
Schools had external invigilators during SCE exams: these could be local clergymen, and school teachers other than the headmaster/rector would not usually be found in the examination rooms. This was not the case for GCE A Levels. NRPanikker 17:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:O-grade

message: Most of the previous content has been moved to Scottish Certificate of Education. Although it wasn't a bad article, it didn't particularly focus on O-Grades as the title would suggest; in fact, it was more of an overview of secondary educational qualifications. Since there was a lack of an article on the SCE, the old O-Grade article forms the perfect basis of that.
I didn't want to rename the page, as there was still a place for an O-grade article.
BTW, can anyone cite the '1951' date in relation to the introduction of O-grades? I've left it in the (now moved) article, and I'd like to include it in this one too, but I have reason to believe O-Grades were introduced later than that... info appreciated, thanks.

Talk:Jacques Prévert

message: i fully agree, prevert is much beter in french. there are too many double meanings for the words and phrases he uses. for example, "paroles" does mean words, but it is also significant to the time in which the book was written, because the passwords that jews used to get into safe houses to hide from the nazis were also refered to as "paroles" and much of the work in that collection is about the nazi occupation of france and it's effects on the country. i believe (although i'm not sure because i'm not a native ferech speaker) that in general "paroles" means passwords in french. i think that's meaningful in and of itself... there's a lot of inuendo that can't be translated literally into a poem's body that goes overlooked in the best translation. 
also, he's not exceptionally simple. but the simplicity that is used is a part of the beauty-- once again hard to fully grasp in a translation.
