Talk:Hodges Gardens State Park

message: The addition of this is really tacky. Unless you have some kind of media reference to a story like this, I consider it little more than an old wives' tale. I am a native of Zwolle, Louisiana and grew up there for 15 years. I can personally attest to the fact that rumors get out of control in the nearby area.
I nominate the section for needing citation, elsewise I'd like to see it deleted because it's embarassing.

replies: text: What was your basis for this move?  That it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places – a data point which hasn't been updated since 1987?!?  As much as the locals (myself included) dislike the "Cape Cod Light" name, that is the official name of the lighthouse, as recorded on the "NOAA Nautical Chart for the region (I'm trying to locate this)" NOAA's Light List (the authority on the subject), as well as as mentioned on  the lighthouse's web page, plus some compelling evidence on the bottom line of this 1996 plaque (photographed in 2009) and this 1948 plaque (ditto).  As best as I can tell, the article was correctly named before the move. "Cape Cod Highland Light" was a compromise attempt, and a nod to the latter of the two links I provided.

Talk:Continuously variable slope delta modulation

message: I removed the statement that "CVSD" is a 'lossy codec'.  It is not really a codec, it's a modulation scheme so the term doesn't apply here.  You can't say that an analog to digital step is a 'lossy codec', though it is correct that going from the analog to digital domain does introduce noise.
:Call it a coder instead of a codec, then?  I called it lossy because if you take uncompressed PCM data, run it through a CVSD coder, and then run that through a CVSD decoder, the PCM output you get does not match the original input.  This is in contrast to FLAC, Apple Lossless, or even LZW compression, etc. where the uncompressed output is always bit-for-bit equal to the original input.
:CVSD coding introduces more noise than a simple analog to digital conversion, or even some companding schemes like mu-law and A-law.  Calling it a "lossy codec" seemed to be the least verbose way to indicate that CVSD will not store an exact representation of the input signal. Pfagerburg (talk) 02:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I added new text to explain that the decoded audio will not match the original signal, without calling CVSD a codec or calling it lossy.  I hope that this verbiage will be acceptable.  Some people really care about lossless audio coding, and so I think it's important to note when a coder, codec, or companding algorithm does not produce an decoded output that matches the original input to the encoder.

message: I removed the claim that CVSD reduces quantization noise by more closely approximately the input signal. Quantization noise is more a function of the ADC stage, not the voice coder itself.

In that case, please feel free to re-add it in a better form, preferably with a reference to back it up.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pfagerburg (talk • contribs) 21:35, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Indiana State Road 267

message: "History
 
Between 1917 and 1926 SR 267 was an unsigned route. The southern terinus at one point was at State Road 37, following the same route that State Road 144. In the 1960s SR 267 was moved to a new route east of the old route, between I-70 and US 40.[3]"
I doubt the validity of the highwayexplorer.com assertion that SR267 was moved during the 1960s because the change was finalized at nearly the same time I began driving, which was 1975. I have no proof yet, but will pursue a more concise reference as time permits. In the meantime, I made a minor spelling and phrasing edit after copying the above text.
