Talk:Gary Powell (musician)

message: There have been various unverifiable comments about Gary's siblings and family ties to Colin Powell. In paticular, it has been claimed on this page that he is Asafa Powell's brother (almsot cetrainly not true), that Hope Powell is his sister and that Colin Powell is a relation.

Talk:Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview

message: I briefly added the subjects that the school offers but then I soon realises that having an extensive list of subjects is against Wikipedias rules as stated in the WikiProjects Schools/Article advice that states https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Article_advice
 
"Provide a brief description of the school's curriculum. Does it follow a national or state curriculum or does it set its own subjects? Focus specifically on aspects of the curriculum which are unique to the school. Is it the only school in the locality which teaches Mandarin, Latin or Greek? Does it have a culinary academy? Do not make long lists of every subject taught - people can get that from the school's brochure or website" 
However, I have kept the list of the subjects on my computer so I will probably just add the subjects that are unique to the school when I have time to further edit this Wikipedia article.

replies: text: I hardly think that's enough basis for using abbreviation in the article title. Using all languages search gives a more even result, though still advantage for PJ. Hockey related searches gives more hits for AO then Alexander Ovechkin, does that mean we should move Alexander Ovechkin to AO? --Krm500 (talk) 14:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's a straw man argument.  Since this is the English Wikipedia, I'm quite unconcerned with how other languages render Axelsson's name, and I'm sure the corresponding Wikipedias do so in whatever form is most common in their particular languages without our interference.  The plain fact, and the overwhelming consensus Wikipedia-wide, is that article names here correspond to the most commonly used and readily recognizable version of that name in English.  "Robert Hull," "Cameron Neely," "Leonard Kelly" and "Terence O'Reilly" don't even have redirects, while "Gordon Howe" redirects, "Robert Orr" hits a disambiguation page, and, oh, "Jean-Claude Tremblay" redirects to "J.C. Tremblay."    Ravenswing  15:19, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), we're supposed to use the most common English names that are recognizable and unambiguous (eg, H. G. Wells, F. Scott Fitzgerald). So even if a name like "AO" is well-known in hockey circles, it's definitely not the most common or the least ambiguous (see AO).-Wafulz (talk) 15:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:MiniGL

message: This article is crap. Unfortunately I don’t have the time or knowedge of MiniGL required to make it make sense.
* The indication that NURBS support is at the same level as vertex specificiation is false. NURBS are supported in GLU, which is specifically intended to be a higher-level library than core GL. GL itself supports polynomial evaluators, which can be used for simpler curved surfaces such as Bézier patches, a functionality which could be (and probably is) implemented in hardware.
* At the time MiniGL was relevant, OpenGL did not support any type of shader, although it does support volumetric textures.
* Changed "useful in the gaming arena" to "useful in the gaming arena at the time"
* Having some features implemented in drivers does not make it "less than useful as a HAL". Restricting it to purely lowest-common-denominator features would.
* The "example" given of MiniGL’s variability is irrelevant; OpenGL doesn’t require display lists or line drawing to be implemented in hardware, and driver-side implementations used to be common.

Talk:Desolation Jones

message: The desolation test is rather similat to the treatment of Alex in A Clockwork Orange only taken to the extreme.
Jones was rigged to a chair and hooked up so that he could survive without human contact. A drip to keep him alive, eyes help open, colostomy bag etc.
The chair is in the middle of a room where every wall is a bank of TV screen. All six walls constantly show images of violence, death and human destruction.
The chair slowly rotates forcing Jones to see the very worst elements of human nature constantly for an entire year.
Source?  Nothing beyond the initial chair setup is ever shown in the comics nor is the actual process mentioned beyond when he encounters the filth's bodyguard and mentions that he died everyday for a year.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.186.243.242 (talk) 09:55, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

An image used in the article, specifically :Image:Algonquin-name.jpg and also :Image:Algonquin-sign.jpg, has a little bit of a licensing issue.

It is presumed that the uploader was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard.
