message: I'd rather there be a Complicance section instead of Violations.  That would allow people to document both successes and failures more naturally.

thread_title: Should we create an article named "Pedestrian safety"?

message: The current opening sentence of this page is mis-leading.  The "almost two-thirds of 1.2 million people" figure from the World Book page is taken out of context.  First off, that statistic doesn't have a source or year cited on The World Book page that the reference links to.  Furthermore, the focus of that World Book fact page is third world countries, and the wiki page's reference is very misleading without the context of most of those crashes occurring in situations where the the solutions offered up in the second sentence of the current wiki article are ones that would greatly benefit such countries.  
It's not helpful to take a statistic from an unknown year, mostly comprised of 3rd world country information, and then enumerate solutions that have been greatly effective in countries with much more established roadways, licensing, and automobile standards.
Possible sources for more accurate and helpful data could be:
- Pedestrian Crash Trends and Potential Countermeasures from Around the World (University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, November 30, 2010)
- Pedestrian crossings survey in Europe (January 2008)
- US DOT NTHSA "TRAFFIC SAFETY FACTS 2011 Data" (August 2013)

thread_title:  Picture thing 

message: It is true that:
::His experiences with object technology through the Simula language, as well as early work on abstract data types and formal specification (including the Z notation), provided some of the background for the development of Eiffel.
to which is also evident the influence of Floyd, Hoare and Dijstra axiomatc semantics in the use of pre- and post- conditions in contracts. Bertand Meyer coined the term 'contract' for that, and he also has a very structured view of a software engineering grounded in formal methods. Something that many other OO methodologies lack, relaying in anthropomorphic metaphors instead. 
But the assertion that: 
::Eiffel has been the reason of other languages including Java, C# and Python, without Eiffel there would not be such languages.[citation needed]
should be deleted, because, Java, C# derived from C++, a language promoted by his author as "a better C", that resulted in a good marketing. Python has dynamic types, something loved by programmers who hate to declare types, it hardly encourages a design based in ADTs, is an object oriented and functional paradigms salad, I don't see it as a language influenced by Eiffel at all.
The methodology proposed by Meyer, can be used with languages different from Eiffel, even Java, Python and believe it o not Fortran following a disciplined style. 
The main Meyer's contribution is way in which he integrated formal methods to deal with the complexity of software development, something that I have not often seen in software developed in Java and Python. About C# I ignore it because I have not seen software developed in the X#  languages.
Definitely it is not justified such assertion, I can't hardly see Eiffel as "the reason for other languages ...". it should be deleted.

The biographical material based on Launay's website was rewritten and is not a lift of copyright material, and therefore should stay. Whether the quote from Mix magazine is a copyright violation is debatable: WP:NFC allows brief and clearly attributed quotations of copyrighted text, but bans "excessively long" excerpts.

I'm bothered by the fact that this user has deleted some quotes from the Mix interview and added some badly spelt material that wasn't in that interview. The user also changed the introductory par to say Launay had "made" a list of albums that included albums he had produced or mixed; I think it's more accurate to say he "produced" albums and then list a few acts who he has produced. Mixing credits probably count for a little less. 
I have left untouched Launmower's edit that says Launay lives in LA (the earlier edit said Australia); I have no idea where he lives, so someone else who knows the answer may wish to clear this up. Grimhim 08:51, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

The usual allergy that sends shivers inside the so-called "western" redeck neobarbarians when they have to refer to Greek or Roman History. On the other hand I do remember the half-page also diminishing article on Magna Graecia trying to squeeze a millenium of Greek colonial history with scientints, philosophers, poets, many surviving Greek temples into a half a page of a wikipedia article. But as usually the rednecks favor and honour the eastern illiterate nomads of Petra with a multi-page article. And the article on Theater, with no mention on the Greek origins of the subject but rather an English flavor to it from the usual neobarbaric idiots.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ate Nike (talk • contribs) 13:58, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
