message: "He was very modest about the Heisman and used the trophy as a doorstop in his library."  I don't think this is true.

Talk:Self-shrinking generator

message: (*) According to the LFSR article and my knowledge, the standard is to make the least significant bit (rightmost bit) the degree of the polynomial and the most significant bit (leftmost bit) the x when determining the tap polynomial.  Additionally, all tap polynomials end in 1 by convention because we want to make primitive tap polynomials over GF(2) the ones that precisely generate all possible nonzero key values in a standard LFSR.

Also I've linked with bio fuels and energy crops.

thread_title:  Italian Regia Aeronautica? 

message: Emm, pardon me but big parts of this article looks more like'a addvertisement than a encyclopedia article. Would be grand if anyone could be kind and fix this.
Some examples of what im talking on:
the "product details" section. (should it at all be there, i dont see how there is any need for this inn'a article)
another examle is under the "Patches, Updates and Add-ons, under the picture of the Me 109. 
- "There are no fewer than 135 new Messerschmitt 109 skins to BoBII (and this is on top of the 25 to date). It also includes 261 other badge and markings textures. It is quite simply the most detailed and accurate representation of the 109 in the Battle of Britain ever created and models below Staffel level, down to key individual aircraft schemes. ID markings are also accurate to individual aircraft level."
Well, to be honest i can really say that there is planty of other stuff that should (according to me) be fixed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.112.218 (talk) 08:07, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Altai State University

message: First, I translated fakultet as department--the clearest English-language cognate, I believe. Yes, I know there are arguments, they are not precisely equivalent, but seems closer to the American-style "department" than the classic, largely self-independent university "faculty" or "school," especially at a university this young.
Arts (Искусств): Not 100% sure if this is in the sense of "art school" or a more general "liberal arts," although it's highly likely to be the former, based on the Russian.
Open Education (Открытого образования): Not 100% sure if this is in the idea of "continuing education/place to put non-degree-pursuing students" or "experimental/self-structured programs", but unless some educators way out in Altai Krai have been bustin' loose lately, it's highly likely to be the former.Doprendek (talk) 21:03, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Location of apostrophe

message: I remember when I was 10 or 11 years old, and had learned English for around 2,5 years. We had an English school book, which included some kine of A-Z tourist attractions at London. And "T" stood for "the Tower" but "Traitors gate". And I recall some story about two young boys who got murdered by a traitor of some kind. Some 40 year later I don't have the school book in my possetion anylonger. But something about two boys and treason, am I certain of have read about. And it wasn't fictional. In any case there has to be a reason for the name. Something more dramatical than through which way Anne Boleyn and Thomas Moore entered the Tower before their executions. I'm sure of the gate once was the scene of a more direct bloody event. Boeing720 (talk) 02:42, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  The name 

message: The article currently has two photographs. One shows the Traitors Gate as taller than it is wide. The second photo, the one showing the painted label, shows the gate to have been wider.  Is the difference due to high tide blocking the view of the bottom portion of the gate in the photo showing the label? Or is there an inner gate and an outer gate? A wee bit of clarification from somebody who knows would help. Pete unseth (talk) 14:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

By this time, he had become reasonably secure financially, had settled his debts, and married Jane Jerrold, the daughter of his friend Douglas Jerrold.” It}s hard to follow what state his finances were in, or how stable, especially when events are given in reverse order.

thread_title:  Wales and Notts 

message: This probably applies to other counties too, but it's Surrey that has caught my eye. I think the wording of the intro is liable to be misunderstood by those not too familiar with the subject: For a full list of grounds that Surrey County Cricket Club have used as home grounds in first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket, see List of Surrey County Cricket Club grounds. That makes it sound rather as if the grounds that are left in this article are an incomplete list of the grounds that Surrey have used for f-c etc matches, and since they remain here are thus presumably more important that the ones that have been removed; of course the actual situation is the reverse. I think something should be added along the lines of: "The grounds that are listed here are those which, though notable, have not been used for first-class, List A or Twenty20 matches."

Talk:An Honest Thief

message: Here's the info from the intro that I culled because it was unverified.  If anyone wants to confirm it, feel free to add it back into the article:
Dostoyevsky's fondness of the works of Charles Dickens is shown in An Honest Thief. As an already acclaimed author, Dostoyevsky, admitting his debt as a writer to Gogol, wrote a short story involving one of his most tragic characters. Yemelyan, an abject drunkard, cannot maintain sobriety despite realizing the evil of alcohol.  Yemelyan's inability to save himself makes for an astounding and tragic short story. 
Beyond this, the obvious paradox contained within the title is clarified in a dying abjuration.

Both the South Pacific (film) and Juanita Hall wiki pages indicate that Ms. Hall played Bloody Mary in both, even though her voice was overdubbed. Perhaps it would be better to mention that he is the only cast member to appear in both the Broadway and film versions and retain his own voice in the final cut.

The SSDI could be wrong - the government isn't all-knowing.  But the citation should match the fact, so if we are going to keep it as December, we should find a source to cite that says December. 
For those who wish to verify, the only place I know of currently to access the SSDI for free is GenealogyBank.  You do have to register though.
