Talk:Tellarite

message: Where are these from: Star Trek? Tolkein? Discworld? Greek mythology? Your own fevered imagination? Don't forget context - right now this item is meaningless. - DavidWBrooks 13:59, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Contrary to popular belief, the Tellarites in TOS always had three fingers, even in the episode "Whom Gods Destroy." There is, however, a creature in "The Lights of Zetar" that looks a lot like a Tellarite (It looks like a monkey man to me). If it is, then this is the only time when we see a Tellarite in TOS with five fingers.

I remember in TNG they were talking about a species known as teralians or another and that their entrie civilization was infected and spread out. The worlds they inhabited also were infected so their entire civilization (the survivors) were hunted down and killed.
Are these the same ones? I ask because this is the closest sounding name to "teralians"

Talk:List of San Francisco Bay Area wildflowers

message: A good way to "cheat" on lists like this is to refer to a guidebook or online list, and add all the names they mention. The red vs blue also gives you a sense of coverage completeness. Stan 14:01, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Slope

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
while i generally think it's a good idea to live by "theory first" and "high level of abstratcion", i wonder if it's really good didactically to include the connection to calculus here, considering that many students in 5th to 9th grade (German system) will read this and they only care about the slope of (very specifically!) the linear function.
I myself am not sure about this, maybe we can discuss this.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8070:99C1:1600:4C42:4BDE:6828:8AB3 (talk) 16:36, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Usage Note: The traditional rule states that the whole comprises the parts and the parts compose the whole. In strict usage: The Union comprises 50 states. Fifty states compose (or constitute or make up) the Union. Even though careful writers often maintain this distinction, comprise is increasingly used in place of compose, especially in the passive: The Union is comprised of 50 states. Our surveys show that opposition to this usage is abating. In the 1960s, 53 percent of the Usage Panel found this usage unacceptable; in 1996, only 35 percent objected.

Magicalsushi 21:14, 2004 Apr 14 (UTC)
Hi Magical--I'm just on the classical end here and haven't ever played this game.  As an expert you can increase Wikipedia accuracy if you specify whether 
"Gyruss" uses the whole Toccata and Fugue, or just portions (to tell the truth, when I wrote "portions", I was just guessing).  The whole piece has the famous opening section, then a very long sort of flowing section (the fugue), then a final kind of ceremonial section in slower tempo.  You can tell when the end has been reached; it's a big long chord.  I'm sure you can take it from there.  Cheers, Opus33 00:17, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The trivia section states that "Dance Dance Revolution ULTRAMIX 2 contains a remix of the Gyruss music as a playable song". However, the music is a section of a Bach piece, as mentioned above. Would it be more accurate to say that DDR:U2 contains a remix of the original piece by Bach? If that is the case, this trivia point can be removed. -Ashley Pomeroy 18:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Then a separate server was created for it, and we called that box "subversions", before the VCS software was out.  We maintained that one by hand, and were moving almost all of the GNU projects over to it.  Then Loic wanted to setup a web-based interface to it so that we didn't have to do the all the maintenance by hand - that was the creation of Savannah.  Jbailey (talk) 08:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Oletzko County

message: Cautious, this is a misnomer, surely?
Oletzko is the German transliteration of the traditional Polish Olecko, the article of which you have also created. However, during the 1930s (during which you are quoting the population figures) it was called Treuburg.
It was a district (Kreis or Landkreis) and district town (Kreisstadt), certainly not a county. Germany did not have counties in those days. A county in the English sense would have been far too large for the area so described. A county in the American sense is misleading and out of place. American counties have an historically entirely different context from the district (Kreis) in the German sense.
So, the neutral district and district town should be used.
Anyway, why create a separate article Oletzko County when you should have entered all this under Olecko with a historical chronological review included in which you could have given the different names at various times as well as everything.
You haven't given details of the surrounding countryside, the lakes, where in relation to the Mazur region it is, etc. I definitely think it should all be combined under the Olecko article.
And I must apprise of the fact that I shall put it up for VfD. Why not redirect this whole article to the Olecko article now? --Dieter Simon 22:51, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)
