Talk:Shut the box

message: What’s with the “(or subtract)” portion of the rules. How do you subtract dice?
Galenanderson (talk) 05:43, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

message: Thank you for writing this article -- this is the kind of game that our family loves to play together.
This article seems to have been written pretty quickly and is a bit sketchy on the rules, using  bullet points and abbreviated language where a detailed explanation would be most helpful.  The 45 penalty points and the "long game" method are especially confusing.  Penalty points in general, and who scores which points when... I'm just not sure how to play. 
The structure of this article overall seems a little scrambled: it would seem to me to make more sense to put History first, and combine Rules and Play into a more detailed Play section, possibly with some examples.
There are three references to people scoring a whipeout (wipeout?) but no explanation as to what a whipeout is.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.204.75.98 (talk) 17:46, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Most references I see say that Tric Trac is a form of backgammon, not Shut The Box.  I don't know why Tric Trac is listed as an alternate name in this article at all -- is there any source for this? It's a separate game as far as I can tell. I think I will remove it from the article for now. ManekiNeko | Talk 10:31, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: On the contrary, Tric Trac (or Tric-Trac or Trictrac) appears to be one of the most common alternate names for this game - for example it's being sold as such on Amazon.com. My own grandparents always referred to the game as Tric Trac. I admit it is confusing that there is a backgammon variant with the same name, but the history of either game doesn't seem well-known. 71.227.121.82 (talk) 01:28, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry

message: I think is somewhat incorrect in its explanation for the trigonal geometry in ammonia:
trigonal geomery arises because the fourth vertex of the tetrahedron is invisible when
you have a lone pair instead of a covalent bond. Therefore the N atom, that would normally
be at the center center of tetrahedron (eg. in case of NH4+) it is now seen at the vertex
of a new, trigonal pyramid. This is not the same as saying that trigonal geomery arises
FROM tetrahedron distortion. In case of the water molecule there is also slight distortion
of the tetrahedral geometry due to the two lone pairs, but it is stil tetrahedral geometry!
A picture would improve this article a lot.

Talk:Dr. S. Hussain Zaheer Memorial High School

message: The article says "The school prided itself in offering quality education for low prices in the early 1980's and 1990's." So did it stop offering quality education, or does it no longer charge only low prices, or should the sentence say "The school has always prided itslef in offering quality education at low prices" with a citation to a source for quality and for price. Just a suggestion for improvement of the article. Edison 16:19, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: User talk:Cholmes75 placed a template on the article that would have AUTOMATICALLY deleted the article in 5 days WITH NO DISCUSSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That quite frankly is the sleaziest afd process I have yet to see on Wikipedia.  The relationship between Jackie O. and her father is one of the most written about subjects in history.  There are umpteen books on the subject.  Yea, this article is really a stub and needs expansion.  But it should be improved and not nuked. Per the instructions on the template if one person objects and removes the template, the automatic deletion cannot occur.  I wondered in here because of the current Broadway Play and its associated movie plans and was shocked to see the template.  Americasroof 17:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The relationship between Jackie O. and her father is one of the most written about subjects in history
It may seem captious, but I must dispute that:  I am not ill-read, but although barely knowledgeable about Mrs. Onassis, I was even more ignorant of her father.  Even Mr. Kennedy is rarely now mentioned in Britain, more famous for being murdered than anything else, a rather fugitive vague figure.
Mrs. Onassis, nor either of her two husbands, were as written about as say, Napoleon, or even Mussolini.
Separately:  why is the subject categorized as a Franco-American when he was simply descended from an 18th century Frenchman ?

thread_title:  C++ 

message: The article confuses a default constructor with a compiler-generated constructor. A default constructor is not necessarily generated by the compiler. If the programmer writes a constructor without arguments (or with arguments that all have default values), it is still a default constructor, but at the same time it is a user-defined constructor. The notions of user-defined vs compiler-generated constructors are orthogonal to default and non-default constructors.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Korbateck-delta (talk • contribs) 09:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Is FreeHEP really a clone of CLHEP as stated in this article?  From a cursory look at the FreeHEP page, it is written in Java, whereas CLHEP is C++.

message: I have checked many websites to find more information about the symptoms that I have just discovered in my eye because in addition to one floater I have flashes as well. But all those websites contain only basic general information while the current article proves to be more detailed because it reads: "flashes that can look like a perfect circle [citation needed]". This information is crucial to me because I see those , though only in the dark, with my eyes open and when I am moving the eyeballs. Besides, the article does not say anything about seeing anything in the total darkness, which is misleading because most people find it impossible to see anything without light. By all means it is possible, and it happened to me. (I can describe it in full details but this is not a forum.) Why is so hard to find sources with more detailed information about symptoms?

Talk:Rapa-Nui (film)

"The king’s advisor tells the king that the Ramana is too dark skinned (which doesn’t make sense since everyone has the same island tan – it’s really because she is a Short Ear) and needs to be purified by spending the time from now until the Birdman Competition, a period of 6 months, in the “Virgin’s Cave." "
This is probably extraneous commentary. In India, light skin is considered desirable in women, probably because it indicates that the woman is of high caste and not a laborer. I do not know whether the people of Rapa Nui had similar conventions or not, but the above commentary does not help clarify this issue.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaddy1975 (talk • contribs) 15:19, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
