Talk:Ivan Jones (author)

message: If the person is English then I find no reason to have him in both English and British categories. :Category:British writers is overpopulated and it's written "Articles in this category should be moved to subcategories when appropriate". Let's discuss the problem here. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:17, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If someone is English they are automatically British, so need only be in the English category (as it is a subcat of the British one). However the article does not say he is English, and being born in England does not make one English. Eg I was born in England but am Scottish. Someone called Jones born in Shropshire might well be Welsh. My children were born in Malawi but are British (they could apply for Malawi nationality but would not necessarily get it, much as someone born in Britain can apply for citizenship but might be turned down). One needs a source to say he is English: you can't place people in categories unless the article supports it. (I have no idea whether this person could be described as English.)

Talk:Error guessing

message: Error Guessing comes with experience with the technology 
and the project. Error Guessing is the art of guessing 
where errors can be hidden. There are no specific tools
and techniques for this, but you can write test cases 
depending on the situation: Either when reading the 
functional documents or when you are testing and find an 
error that you have not documented.
Advantages:
1.Can keep track of defect history.
2.Lists out all the possible error outcomes.
Disadvantages:
1.Involves tester experience and ability  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.186.33.85 (talk) 05:09, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

message: The article claims that I "was the first person to post a weekly FAQ to Usenet".  My records show that I posted two FAQs, one monthly and one weekly.  However I have no recollection of being the first to post one weekly.  I guess what I'm saying is, "citation needed".

message: The article currently talks about "the team that ported A/UX". Perhaps it would be helpful to state from where to where it was ported? From what I can gather, I might guess, that what is actually meant, is, that someone ported UNIX to the Macintosh, and named the result A/UX.

thread_title:  The "History of" section needs links! 

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:07, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:John Henry Wright

message: I have removed two references citing my own work as a source. While I'm flattered, it does not meet wikipedia's standards for a reliable source. Not that I regard myself unreliable as such, but the citations pointed to my own self-published website, in once instance to a piece reproduced from an article I had previously written for wikipedia itself! I rather doubt it's permissible for wikipedia to cite itself as an authority, even at one remove. The ultimate reliable sources for the information are standard bibliographical resources; I'll see about tracking them down and adding them in at some point. BPK (talk) 14:59, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Talk:John Link (composer)

message: I'm not super up to date on Wiki formatting regulations, so I'm just gonna leave this here.
John Link is the namesake of 'Link Chords', solutions to a classic mathematical problem in music. They are chords that contain all 12 notes of the Western chromatic scale while simultaneously using all 12 intervals, and where each hexachord within the chord contains every possible trichord. This is explained in detail in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki7BzKrMtos
Since the video explicitly references Link in a non-trivial way to illustrate a significant aspect of music theory, I think it should help to satisfy the notability flag on this article

Talk:John Melady

message: I'd like to request that the deletion of the article be at least "delayed" at this time.Although Melady might be regarded as a "minor" historical writer on a global scale; in my opinion he meets at least a minimum standard of notability here in Canada as a fairly significant popular history and occasional space science writer. He's written at least nine books on Canadian history that I'm aware of; published by several well known larger Canadian publishing companies such as MacMillan of Canada and Dundern Press. Although he appears to have a fair share of negative reviews concerning his endeavours, the University of Toronto Quarterly Review and a reviewer for the Canadian Armed Forces; amongst other sources, seemed to like his book on the Korean War. That particular book was also picked up a Book of the Month Club selection. He is also cited and discussed in peer reviewed Canadian academic journals, such as the Canadian Military Journal, and publications of The Canadian Forces College and in European journals as well. I'd also like to suggest that if serious consideration is in fact being given to deleting this article, that notification should be posted in appropriate places such as noticeboards for Canadian military history and Canadian culture so that those folks have a chance weigh in on it.

Talk:Jørn Jensen

message: The text has "ingenious exploitation of the name parameters to compute numerical series without using procedure parameters – as is necessary in all programming languages, except ALGOL 60, and Simula-67." But in all fairness name parameters do use procedure parameters: they are supplied by the compiler, by the implementation; they are just not directly visible to the programmer. Actually a name parameter is implemented by two procedures, one that yields the value and one that does an assignment. And if the name parameter is passed on in another call, both procedures have to be passed on.
I don't know if it is important enough to modify the text, but it would help explaining the concept.
