Wikipedia talk:Image recreation requests

message: Does it make sense to nominate images that we've replaced here for IFD? I mean, the unverified image backlog is so high, might help to say, "hey, we don't need this anymore". – flamuraiTM 19:46, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Gann angles

message: Gann Square of Nine is actually a pretty popular topic in the context of the stock market, and a good Wiki entry would be great.  I am an advocate for keeping/improving the article. Cjthomas 23:56, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
There is hope for this page.  I've added the link to derivative and put it into perspective (I've worked in finance for some time now and I've never heard of Gann).  There's no reason to ditch it completely, however - if it helps people to understand basic financial calculus then it's a good thing.  Nick 04:14, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Template talk:Chset-tableformat

message: This template is to be used in character set tables, together with Template:Chset-left and Template:Chset-cell. For an example, see Code page 437. — Monedula 04:33, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added simplified  and  cell templates for including the Unicode code, the displayed character itself, and the decimal code in a given character table cell. I've also added cell color templates , , , and . Typical use of these templates can be seen in the tables in the EBCDIC, ISO 8859-1, and Windows-1252 articles.  — Loadmaster (talk) 23:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: How do the color templates map to Unicode categories? DanBishop (talk) 22:47, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

text: Further clarification: I really think the "octal" version should go, it is extremely confusing as it looks just like decimal. Thus I recommend against "chset-cell4". I also do not think the decimal number should be there either, and the templates fixed so that the table is shorter vertically if this is done. The hex unicode can probably remain, and I see now it is being used by the template to actually pick the correct displayed character.Spitzak (talk) 21:25, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Law of conservation of information

message: Does anyone have any idea what this article is actually about? I can't decide if the original author is trying to explain a law of Quantum information theory or if he is talking about Intelligent Design. I think everyone will agree that this page does not make any sense as it stands, and should at least be linked to something that explains the field that it belongs in. Please comment on what you think it's about and we'll go from there.

It is not true that none of the five major current talk show hosts does not use guest hosts; the only one who hasn't is Conan O'Brien. Even Jay Leno has used Katie Couric.

There is the page "Comparative military ranks of World War II", which lists German Army, Navy, Air Force, and Waffen SS, but does not show how these relate to SA ranks, or for ezapmle the "Ranks and insignia of the Nazi Party".

I'm slightly hesitant about merging Onondaga Park. The Syracuse neighborhoods page (archive link) states that "Onondaga Park, a Local Protected Site is also located in Strathmore", however as someone who used to live down the street I am very surprised that the Lower portion of the park is considered part of Strathmore. I always thought that once you were at the bottom of the hill, you were in Southwest, although indeed the above 'neighborhoods' link does say "Lower Onondaga Park is adjacent to [Southwest]" so it does seem to be completely in Strathmore. However, I'm pretty biased since I worked to expand the Onondaga Park article a few months ago into what I hoped was something that could stand alone (it's a nice little park to live half a block from!).
