message: I have twice reverted the inclusion of a section on regional variations of the word "million" because this simply does not belong on this page. There are thousands of languages and dialects, each of which has its own version of this word. Are we supposed to list them all? If not, who is to decide which languages are notable enough for inclusion? Language links can be found on the left of the page, so there is no need to include this information in the article.

She was not working in a commercial laundry all day, but going to school (outside) and only washing her own clothes. The link in the text is informative.

Talk:Basic income guarantee

message: the USBIG (U.S. Basic Income Guarantee) definition 
"The Basic Income Guarantee is an unconditional, government-insured guarantee that all citizens will have enough income to meet their basic needs.",
and their page in general talks about a mix of Basic Income (BI) and Guaranteed Income (GI).  Although the article goes to great pains to explain the difference between BI and GI, and claim that BIG is BI and not GI.  The above definition of BIG is in fact GI and not BI.
"unconditional" aspect of BI, doesn't mean there is no forms to fill out and no approval needed
"government-insured guarantee" is pure GI, because the implementation is to subsidize people up to an income level.  A guaranteed income of $15000 means that if your income from other source is above $15000 you receive no benefit, if your income is $14000, you receive $1000, and if your income is 0, you receive $15000.
Basic income of $10000 means that you receive $10000 no matter what your other income is.
I can volunteer to make the radical changes to this page to make BIG mean BI, or I can alter the Basic Income page to no longer point to this page.  I will do so in a few days, assuming no one wants to insist on reverting the changes.

Talk:Rent party

message: No, I would disagree.  Unless you can provide a citation to support this claim regarding "Blues", I would remove the reference and simply say "...development of Jazz".  I don't argue that Rent Parties may have been integral to the development of Jazz, because Jazz has urban roots, but that's not the case with Blues.
Blues developed in the Mississippi delta, if it "developed" anywhere.  Hardly a geographic location where "tenants" are paying "rent".  The implication in this article seems to be that Rent Parties are urban.  Tenants, rent -- this alludes to cities, and, most likely, New York.
Blues, on the other hand, grew out of Dixie roots, particularly Southern gospel music and so-called "Negro-spirituals".  It may have eventually been re-fashioned in certain cities (example: Chicago), but the "development" of Blues owes little, if anything, to urban rent parties, and, instead, much more to the Southern post-Confederate experience of rural African-Americans.

Talk:Ninjutsu

message: I've heard connections being made between the yamabushi and ninjas.
: http://www.shinobiexchange.com/the-history-of-ninjutsu-and-its-evolution/
: As immigrants began to arrive in Japan from China and Korea, the styles of kenpo (Chinese martial art using bare hands and weapons), and genjutsu (techniques of illusion and conjuring) were mixed with the local techniques of Japan. Among these immigrants were warrior monks and military personnel that settled in mountainous areas where they met the yamabushi (hermits of the mountains). These mountain hermits, warrior monks, and ascetics used early forms of Ninjutsu. It was in this time that these yamabushi developed the mysterious and supernatural persona of the ninja we know today. Even though these warriors remained separated from society, many senior government officials and warrior families maintained close relationships to these yamabushi who, at times, carried out jobs that needed to be kept secret.

Talk:SNAP header

message: Question: Is the IEEE 802.3 IP MTU 1500 or 1492?
IEEE Std 802.3-2002 says in 3.2.6 "Length/Type Field" that:
:This two-octet field takes one of two meanings, depending on its numeric value. For numerical evaluation, the first octet is the most significant octet of this field.
::a) If the value of this field is less than or equal to the value of maxValidFrame (as specified in 4.2.7.1), then the Length/Type field indicates the number of MAC client data octets contained in the subsequent data field of the frame (Length interpretation).
::b) If the value of this field is greater than or equal to 1536 decimal (equal to 0600 hexadecimal), then the Length/Type field indicates the nature of the MAC client protocol (Type interpretation). 
::The Length and Type interpretations of this field are mutually exclusive. 
::When used as a Type field, it is the responsibility of the MAC client to ensure that the MAC client operates properly when the MAC sublayer pads the supplied data, as discussed in 3.2.7.
Any protocol that can use the length/type field as a type field - i.e., any protocol that has an Ethernet type assigned to it and that doesn't require a length field (i.e., that can "[operate] properly when the MAC sublayer pads the supplied data" - can do so, and can thus avoid adding an 802.2 LLC header or SNAP subheader, and thus has an MTU of 1500 octets.  IP is such a protocol, so the 802.3 IP MTU is 1500 octets. Guy Harris 09:15, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Rush (band)

message: There are a couple recent edits that have changed all occurrences of RUSH to Rush and back. Based on this article which includes the band's logos over time, a case could be made for either spelling - RUSH, or Rush. So I am on the fence with which one the article should use.  I like the look of Rush from a readability perspective. And it appears that the distinction is somewhat arbitrary. Unlike other artist spellings that may include a mix of Uppercase and lowercase, and even special characters like P!nk and Ke$ha. See this article for some other examples. What do others think about RUSH vs Rush in the article? Gbeeker (talk) 18:23, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Geddy Lee's memoir My Effin' Life uses title case for the band name. Newspapers such as The New York Times use title case.

Talk:Mutual aid

message: How about a disambig. page? These are related concepts (the same even), just used in different contexts. -- Sam
I agree with a splitting of sections and disambiguation page. Mutual aid as voluntarism in emergency relief services and mutual aid as a political principle in anarchism are very different subject matters. While communities with volunteer fire fighters may espouse anarchism, its by no means necessary or even foundational to the practice.
I think a third article on Kropotkin's classic text is also in order. -- david
I'm all for a disambiguation page. But let's remember that the meanings are similar at a superficial level (voluntary reciprocal exchange of resources and services). Most likely because emergency services mutual aid grew out of political mutual aid (libertarian socialism). A linkage we wouldn't want to loose. In practice, political mutual aid (as defined by Kropotkin - or lack thereof) and emergency services mutual aid are very different. Emergency services mutual aid adds the needed structure and decision making process. Emergency services mutual aid validates Kropotkin's ideas in one small domain. Again, a linkage we wouldn't want to loose. -- tk
