Talk:WDDX

message: I did not want to edit this page without consulting the community that created it first, but isn't WDDX like JSON more than AJAX? I mean AJAX is a means of transporting data. Better put, AJAX is all about the transmission of the data NOT the Data itself. Whereas WDDX, like JSON seems to be all about the data that is transmitted. Both should be able to be transmitted using AJAX. Am I wrong on this fact?

thread_title:  Modelling a BRUTE + photos 

message: Van E85000 was branded "To work between Coventry and Banbury only". I saw this van quite a lot at Banbury during 1979-83; during the day, it would be in the former goods shed (at that time acting as a parcels dock, but now demolished) along with a BG until some time after 4 pm, when the train engine (usually a class 25) would arrive and draw them into platform 1. There, both vans would be loaded with BRUTEs by means of an electrically-powered lifting platform. This lifting platform would be positioned close to one of the several pairs of open double-doors and lowered to floor level. Then a BRUTE would be pushed on, the platform raised until it was just above the floor level of the van, and then rotated 90° which placed the platform directly above the van floor; after being lowered slightly, the BRUTE would be rolled straight into the van. When the loading was complete, the train would depart northwards some time after 5pm. --Redrose64 (talk) 15:51, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I removed the information on James Stirling and the Pinjarra Massacre from the article because it is going off on a tangent. As far as I can tell, there has been no naming controversy relating to this school (at least none of the references said this), and so going into that much detail on James Stirling is unnecessary. Just because there was a naming controversy with the City of Stirling doesn't mean there was with this school. If it were to be added back in, it shouldn't be in the lead, and the references need to be clear that this school's name in particular is controversial. Steelkamp (talk) 10:14, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Trafalgar High School

message: I think some information should be included about the history of the uniform and changes to it.  I.e. how were the white/green/black (formerly white/green/grey) and white/red colours were chosen. Also, information regarding changes. From the 1960s-???? it was quite formal including button up shirts and blazers, white/green/grey.  Later it became less formal including casual pants, polo shirts, and windsheaters maintaining the white/green/grey scheme. In the late 1990's and early 2000's it became more formal again, the school skirt changed, summer dress changed,dress pants, and blazers reintroduced (for school captains?).  Later in the 2000's I believe the school dress changed yet again, a new rugby top was introduced, and the colour scheme changed to white/green/black.

message: Because, between the original Japanese PS1 game, the English localization and the PSP game and its localization, only the English localization uses different names (and is practically a different game), I changed the article to reference to the English version of the PS1 game seperately to clarify the rest of the article.

message: OK, some IP guy has copied  the article together here from Saaremaa#History and Oselians.

The spelling for English WP is interesting though "Œsel", started up by another User:Bloomfield sock User:RobotF. Conventional spelling originating from Latin would be Osilia that currently redirects to Saaremaa. So does it really make sense to repeat the most of it here that's been told in Saaremaa#History and Oeselians already? So does anybody have any suggestions or ideas how to deal with this?

message: The intro paragraph doesn’t seem very encyclopædic; the “usual” pronounciation designation is too vague to be useful, and the comment about Colin Powell makes it seem that his pronounciation was his choice alone (what did his parents call him?). Surely it is a regional thing? The rhyme with “pollen” may be the British version, but does that hold true in other places? The “hole in” version has been used by other Americans, and is perhaps closer to the Irish pronounciation. It’s not substantial enough to cite, but for example, there’s an episode of “Kojak” (S. 3 Ep. 11), with a “hole in” pronounciation for the name of a character. 109.155.24.63 (talk) 08:00, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Coordinates 

message: With reference to this part:
: It connected the town then known as Coote's Paradise, which would be renamed Dundas in reference to the road, which in turn, was named after Simcoe's friend, Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, to settlements west, and also around Lake Ontario to Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake).
Does anybody have a reference for the fact that the town was named after the road and not the reverse? I realize it is strange to our modern sensibilities that an important street in several cities would be named after such an unimportant town, but as the article indicates Dundas was a comparatively much more important place in the early 19th century. It seems more in keeping with the general convention in street naming that streets are named after where they go, rather than towns named after the streets that go through them. And if it the town was named after the street, why pick that particular stop along the expanse of a very long road stretching all the way from York to London? --Saforrest (talk) 08:44, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Se (text editor)

message: Sometime I may want to touch the article, but for now will just note here.
http://hpux.ewi.tudelft.nl/hppd/hpux/Editors/se-1.3/man.html (retrieved 2008-02-12) says:
      On the
      Pr1me computers at the School of Information and Computer Science at
      Georgia Tech, Dan Forsyth, Perry Flinn, and Alan Akin added all the
      enhancements suggested in the exercises in the book, and some more of
      their own. Jack Waugh made extensive modifications to turn the line
      editor into a screen editor; further work was done by Dan Forsyth.
      All of this was in an improved Georgia Tech version of Ratfor.
(The "book" this excerpt refers to is _Software Tools_ by Brian W. Kernighan and P. J. Plauger).
As the reference says, I, Jack Waugh, modified the version of "ed" that was coded in Ratfor into the screen version "se".  I may want to credit myself for that in the article; I guess I can cite the above as my authority for claiming this credit.
To add anything of my own knowledge would be "original research", so I can't properly add to the main article, but will add here, that I originated the name "se".  In the final version from my hands, the left margin that the editor would show looked much as in the illustration that the main article points to.  The capital letters and the arrow were present.  The user could type one of the capital letters as a line address.
My version did not use curses (which I'm not sure existed at the time).  I wrote a routine I called "loadstr" (for load string) that would place a string at given coordinates on the screen; this took care of portability to different kinds of terminals the way curses eventually would.  loadstr would compare the given string to a memory of what was already on the screen and would optimize output accordingly, not bothering to repaint the same characters that were already there (except in cases where that was the most efficient way to move the cursor to the next place it needed to be).
The reference above misspells the name of T. Allen Akin as "Alan" Akin.  Also, it suggests there was more than one Prime at Georgia Tech; I only saw one.
Before I wrote "se", I had seen one screen editor, the Rand editor, which ran on Unix.  It would crash a lot, but kept a log from which it could recover.
A trivium:
Immediately after I graduated from Georgia Tech, I went to work at RLG Associates.
I modified the Unix "ed" to recreate "se" for my use
there.  The only terminal in the office that had lowercase was the one the secretary
used.  The programmers used uppercase-only terminals.  Case is significant in C code and
of course the braces {} occur.  So I made that version of "se" use two rows on the terminal
when necessary to indicate case; the letters were on the upper row and the lower row would
have equal signs to effectively double-underline the letters that were in upper case.  So,
for example, the text "#define FOO 3" would come out as
 . -> |#DEFINE FOO 3
      |        ===
I think I represented the braces as parentheses underlined.

I'm sure there are other examples of acronyms that replicate real words.  However, when I looked at the disambiguation page, it was not readily apparent that I should be looking for two separate disambiguation pages.
What would be an appropriate way to highlight this to the casual viewer?  Merge both pages into one (capitalized acronym, and regular word)?  Or draw attention to the other page near the top (on both pages)?  Has this issue been addressed before elsewhere?  I would lean towards merging the pages, but making one section at the top for real words, followed by an acronym section below.
