thread_title:  Software upgrade 

message: 'Upgrade' has wider meaning than just its popular contemporary application to CS. I was looking for a strict definition vis-a-vis stock analysis. There should be a disambiguation description. I'm not really a wikipaedist, otherwise I'd do it. Just a suggestion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daleroes (talk • contribs) 20:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation and additional possible entries for 'Upgrade' 

message: The first sentence of the article includes the phrase "with a newer or better version."  If the word 'or' is interpreted to be exclusive, then the replacement hardware/software may not be both newer AND better.  As a longtime user of computers, I agree with the exclusive interpretation as most times the newer software is not better, just newer.  However, the meaning is ambiguous.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.144.63.24 (talk) 16:59, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Sanyaku

message: Sanyaku actually comprises only of Komusubi and Sekiwake.
The meaning as written to be 'three ranks' might be translated as well as 'third rank', despite the character for 'ban' in Japanese, is missing.
* I think the vast majority of sources would disagree with that statement. 2600:1012:B1E2:1A2C:F5A0:4BA6:F02B:CCFF (talk) 06:52, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

message: Sanyaku historically is Ozeki, Sekiwake and Komusubi, with the rank of Yokozuna refering to a "super-Ozeki", for want of a better description, who is licenced as a result to perform a special ring entry ceremony.  This has been the case in all text books I have read on the topic. Furthermore, the term Sanyaku has been around longer than Yokozuna to my knowledge and so the third rank on that basis would only be Komusubi, which would not make sense.  However Sanyaku can be used to refer in certain instances to only Sekiwake and Komusubi. Records for the most number of tournaments and consecutive tournaments in "sanyaku" are often quoted in these terms, even though strictly speaking the records refer only to the two junior sanyaku ranks. I believe this issue may be the source of the confusion referred to above.

message: The technique described here is a modern 4-in-1 technique that has all for ddNTP's in the same reaction, each one differnetly labled. Then we have the picture to the right showing the more 'classical' method of running each separate ddNTP reaction separately and running them on four separate lanes, not fluoresence needed.

thread_title: Technique discussed

message: What is described in the article is cycle sequencing. Please note that cycle sequencing uses a single primer that anneals in a unique position on the template DNA which is then extended by the sequencing polymerase. Because only one primer is used, products from earlier cycles do not become templates in subsequent cycles. This means that the amplifiction is linear, not exponential. That is, there is no "Chain Reaction". 
Also cycle sequencing was a modification of the chain termination method. Chain termination sequencing does not require any thermal cycling. The original chain termination sequencing method predates the invention of PCR. So thermal cyclers were not commonly found in labs. That means, in the bad old days, we didn't have cycle sequencing and had to whomp up an enormous batch of DNA template (by today's standards) and do a single cycle of sequencing on it.

Template talk:Administrative divisions of Japan

message: Noticed that Administrative divisions of Japan redirects to Geography of Japan and Cities of Japan redirects to Municipalities of Japan. Even though all the other municipal articles (village, town, special city, core city, ward) have their own article. Should city have its own article as well, or should the non-city minicipal articles be merged to the municipality article as well? Also, since "Administrative divisions of Japan" doesn't have an article of its own, maybe it should be de-linkified from the template.  —Tokek 22:19, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Merged and redirecting articles

message: I'm having trouble figuring out why designated cities are at the subprefectural level. I think all cities are at the municipal level, and that the designated cities belong with the rest of the cities.
Next, I'm not sure why wards are at the municipal level. Special wards, yes, but wards belong at a sub-municipal level.
Speaking of sub-municipal level, if we choose to add this level, we could add chō and machi (separate from the chō and machi at the municipal level). 
Is there a way to indicate in the template (graphically or using text) which entities have elected leaders and representative bodies? These are the prefectures and all the municipalities (all the cities, towns, and villages, as well as the special wards). 
Fg2 (talk) 10:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding is that designated cities are at the subprefectural level because of the amount of authority given to them by the nationanl government.
