Talk:Arcade cabinet

message: This section is either very out of date, or just plain wrong.  As I see it, these are the types of cabinets that should be in this list:  Cocktail,countertop,upright,sitdown,upright deluxe, sitdown deluxe,and mini/cabaret.  I'm going to rewrite this section soon.  I would appreciate your comments.----Asher196 (talk) 04:05, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Cabinet types

message: I haven't had much time to research it, but were there specifications for arcade cabinets? Did game creators also provide the cabinets or was it left up to the individual arcade operators to construct their own?

message: Candy style 
:Owing to the resemblance of the plastic to hard candy, they are often known as "candy cabinets", by both arcade enthusiasts and industry. 
What plastic?  And instead of "they" the term should be in the sentence. No commas are necessary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.139.55 (talk) 15:53, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:X-Day

message: The term 'X-Day' is very generic and is widely used for multiple things that have no relation to each other.
The page for any case folds of 'X-Day' should definitely be a disambiguation page, especially since 
the definitions of some meanings are long and others short, and some equally legitimate but shorter ones would 
be buried under longer definitions on the same page.
I propose that the disambiguation-only page link to at least these 4 more specific pages, with more added as known:
1. xday military - The "attack day" definition used in WW2.
2. xday manga - The Setona Mizushiro manga.
3. xday subgenius - The event related to the Church of the SubGenius.
4. xday xmen - The annual (since 1996) creative competition for fans of the X-Men comics (see http://www.xday.info/).
If there is still a rationale to have a full definition on the plain x-day page, with a separate disambiguation page linked to by it, 
then the 1st item listed above should be that definition, since it is the oldest and most contemporarily known.
Unless a more experienced Wikipedian decides to go ahead and do this, I'll perform the split myself in the near future.

message: The anti-war protests that happened when the Iraq war broke out in 2003, particualarly the March 20, 2003 anti-war protests were called 'Day X' protests. Not sure if that should go in this article or not.--JK the unwise 11:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anti-war protests 

message: I'm having a hard time fixing the tone of this article.  As it stands it makes the Church of the SubGenius out to be a whacko doomsday cult, whereas anyone who understands the slightest thing about the Church of the Subgenius knows that it was founded specifically to mock cults and extreme religions.  Specifically, it is a satirical parody of those belief systems.  X-Day is another example of their mockery, in which they are attempting to show the ridiculousness of any religion that says when the world will end, and the followers of those religions who typically continue to believe even after the predictions fail.  X-Day, like everything else the Church of the SubGenius does, is certainly not intended seriously.  This article, however, reports on it as if it were.  I hesitate to use a lot of unsourced verbiage, but the article as it stands is largely unsourced as it is.
To wit, I'm going to try to improve the explanation and tone to reflect the fact of the Church's status as a giant practical joke.  Not that we SubGeniuses don't find it tremendously amusing when people take us seriously; still, though, the truth should be told.  ;)  If my edits cause any problems, please reply here.  -Kasreyn 03:10, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tamar (Genesis)

message: The story of Tamar is one of my favorites.  1st, only the NIV says,"[she] covered herself with a veil to disguise herself."  The King James Version doesn't say this.  It was simply customary for prostitutes to wear a veil for pizzazz.  In fact, according to the King James Version, "When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face."
2nd, it shows that the Jacob the Prophet made no effort to ban prostitution and this is why prostitution has Judaic legitimacy--beside my personal belief that we ought to promote it.  Furthermore, Solomon made no fuss when two prostitutes came before him to claim a baby as their own.  Based on my own Biblical exegesis, it is permissible and churches are the ideal place to serve as brothels for male, female, and transsexual prostitutes.--71.105.17.37 (talk) 08:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Veils and prostitutes

message: I deleted 'YWH' (fully spelled) and replaced it with 'God'. Many Jews (including me) don't appreciate the name being said, read, spelled, etc...

message: This article indicates the age of the Kaibab Limestone is 240 million years old, then in the next section 260 million years old.  The article on Grand Canyon says 230 million.  Anyone care to clarify?  Zencowboy27 (talk) 20:23, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The ages of formations are a common area of dispute among geologists and different contemporaneous sources use somewhat different figures. Trouble comes when sources penned in widely-separated decades are used in the same article since new studies refine the figures over time. I removed the first mention of the age b/c it is from an older primary source and redundant anyway. As for the Grand Canyon; that is is a different area and thus has a different age profile (the Kaibab Sea grew and shrank over a period of millions of years covering a large area). I'll take a look at my more current books on the subject to make sure both articles are up-to-date. --mav (reviews needed) 01:59, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Windows domain

message: The article mentions that the domain uses Active Directory, but prior to Windows 2000 Server, there was a different domain system that did not use Active Directory. [Chapter 11 from Introducing Windows 2000 Server] says the following (emphasis added):
Windows NT domains worked best in small-sized and medium-sized environments. Administrators of large environments were forced to partition their network into multiple domains interconnected with trusts. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server introduces Active Directory to replace domain functionality.
In essence, saying that domains use Active Directory ignores the history that caused AD to be created.

thread_title: Workgroups

message: Under the "workgroups" section it is said that workgroups are a peer-to-peer model rather than a client-server model. I'd like to point out that even when a domain is present, the only dedicated server is the domain controller. Other machines may serve as both client and server so it doesn't follow the strict client-server model.

Talk:Diazepam

message: The second section (beginning, “[c]ommon side effects include...”) seems odd to me. I’m not educated in what is & isn’t considered a side effect, but I find “[s]erious side effects are rare. They include suicide...” to be strange. I (not a doctor) would not consider suicide as a side effect of a drug just the same as I would not consider a pregnancy a side effect of alcoholic beverages. In my opinion, decisions based on a drug’s effect aren’t side effects in their own right, but suicidal tendencies would be. After all, a chemical can’t make someone have a decision, but it can certainly lead her into acting upon it. I think the section below that mentions the adverse effects puts it better than this section. Dfcorrea00 (talk) 23:56, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Michaelm, please see other articles for federal electoral districts such as Toronto-Danforth, Nanaimo-Alberni, or Central Nova.  In all cases the standard has been set that in each electoral district the name of the current MP, along with former MPs, will be listed along with the name of the party they represent.  To omit factual information of that nature would be to go against the purpose of Wikipedia.  Therefore Belinda Stronach must be identified as a member of the Conservative Party of Canada.
In the future before making edits of this nature please consult other similar articles so that you can see what conventions and standards have been established.

text: Oppose - The term "subcompact" is clearly defined in the United States (see the EPA's vehicle size classifications here). On the other hand, the descriptor "supermini" is inherently  an oxymoron - similar to "jumbo shrimp" - since most supermini cars are often neither "super" cars nor truly "mini" in size! Moreover, the origin of this term seems to be a "Boastful Superlative" that was cooked up for an automotive publication as a comparison to the original Mini, and not a defined term such as "B-segment small cars". For example, the MSN editorial What the Heck Is the B-Segment? does not contain the term "supermini" to describe the reviewed "subcompact" cars. Thanks! CZmarlin (talk) 21:47, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
