Talk:List of ciphertexts

message: As someone who maintains a list of "Famous Unsolved Codes" , I'd like to start a discussion to head off a future problem.  Specifically, if my own email queue is any indication, there are going to be many people who write their own codes, and then try to list them on this page as a "famous ciphertext".  So, do we want to try to come up with some sort of minimum standard for listing here?  Or will it be sufficient just for a ciphertext to already have its own article elsewhere on Wikipedia? I'd recommend something like a minimum number of mentions in respected cryptographic press or reference works.  Otherwise this list is going to get polluted by a lot of snake oil in short order.  Or do we want that, in order to have a comprehensive list?  I can go either way, I just strongly recommend having a clearly stated set of standards, because I know how aggressive some of the "code spammers" are going to be once they find this page. --Elonka 03:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Is there really a need for a template this large? Right now, it consists of a huge list of redlinked names, most of which probably will never have articles. Most of these people seem non-notable, and the template could survive without them. As it is now, this template goes on the bottom of two dozen TV station pages; each of these pages already has several other templates, resulting in articles consisting mainly of templates. Can this be pared down?--Firsfron of Ronchester 23:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps it should be broken up into smaller templates. For example, maybe one for local U.S. publications, one for national U.S. publications, one for Newsquest U.K. publications (which aren't even included here!), one for Gannett TV, and another for the company at large including corporate execs and other properties? -Tobogganoggin talk 23:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: We all seem to agree this template is far too long. So here's my solution: nested templates. Note that each of the "inner" templates has full v-d-e links, so it shouldn't be too hard to edit this thing (for the record: the first, with U.S. newspapers, is called "Template:Gannettnews"; the second, with U.S. television stations, is "Template:GannettTV"; and the third, with U.K. holdings, is "Template:Newsquest".
At some point I'll try to figure out whether we can really make this thing sing by altering the markup on the calling page to tell the "parent" template (GCI) to make one of the "child" templates expand on a given page. Frankly, it's making my brain hurt right now, but then, I'm no computer programmer. Tell me what you think, guys. ``` W i k i W i s t a h ``` 03:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

message: MGB was the title of the main Soviet intelligence agency at the time the Venona project was begun, and is the term most frequently used to designate it in the notes to the decryptions, especially the American cables, where it contrasts with GRU (Soviet military intelligence). I have never seen NKVD or NKGB or INO or any other bits of the alphabet soup used in any of the notes, even for cables dating back to 1940-42. I have seen KGB used in a few of the Moscow Canberra messages; some of these were issued (or reissued) in the 1970s.  For the European decryptions (London and Stockholm), MOSCOW is generally used in place of initials.  Anyway, in this case, the editor was simply following the wording of the translators/annotators. There is no reason to doubt the authenticity of the decryptions because of this.  However, it does point up the problems in citing the original texts of the cables.  The habit of doing this throughout many (most) of the Wikipedia articles on Venona gives a strong feeling of original research; better to cite the secondary sources which provide a much more convenient narrative framework, and also gives the reader the authority for the interpretations offered. Note also that the links are broken for all Venona texts that were cited before 2009, when everything was moved on the NSA server... Rgr09 (talk) 17:09, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
