Talk:West India Docks

message: :..the dock-owners were slow to embrace change. Second, the manufacturing exports which had maintained the trade through the docks dwindled and moved away from the local area.
Am I alone in thinking this completely inaccurate? Firstly 'the owners' were the PLA. The main reason for decline was that trade (such as grain) moved to Tilbury where the er, PLA had just built Europe's biggest grain terminal, and Britain's largest container port. Secondly, wasn't most trade here imports? Pterre (talk) 23:56, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably ... I thought it was mainly because the WID was not able to cope with the increasing size of ships - hence the need for relocating the grain store to Tilbury. The other factor was road (only two) and rail access (a bit bendy, so couldn't take the larger bulk wagons). The dockside storage and handling wasn't up to much either, so multiple factors. Also, I don't see basic details like tonnage of ships handled, etc. The best ref on this kind of thing is the Port Cities website. Kbthompson (talk) 00:11, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Where does the term Crossharbour come from? Refering to , one can see that there were locks on the east and west ends of the three harbours giving them a 'Crossharbour' traffic pattern. But when and where did the common use of 'Crossharbour' occur? As this is a common geographical reference term to an area of London, it would improve the article to have that information in this and related articles. Such as Crossharbour DLR station, London Arena, Isle of Dogs, and even the life peer title of Conrad Black, Baron Black of Crossharbour. --TGC55 (talk) 04:13, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Mie kuah →  – This page was originally created as mee rebus, then renamed to mi rebus to reflect its proper name in Malay or Indonesian languages, but perhaps does not comply with WP:ENGLISHPLEASE since this is the English language Wikipedia. It was unilaterally moved without discussion or consensus in 2019. According to talk page history, previous editors have expressed concerns and disagreements over the proper naming convention for the page so it should not have been done unilaterally. No evidence provided in any of the cited sources that "Mie kuah" is the WP:Commonname of the mee rebus/mi rebus/mie rebus dish according to modern usage for an international readership. At least one editor asserted that this is not a common dish in Indonesia. I formed a view that this is as a clear violation of WP:NPOV and an attempt to push a nationalist POV. Therefore, this article should be moved back to Mee rebus. Haleth (talk) 08:59, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Infidel: My Life

message: There is a very critical piece on Hirsi Ali and her new book in Newsweek. See here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17204802/site/newsweek/ --Mon.
There is no doubt that Islamophiles will revere in any negative review of this book. Reading it myself, however, I can't help but admire the courage and the raw will to survive all the insanity this woman has lived through. It is a very honest and personal book. Instead of trying to discredit the book or the motivations of the author, a better approach would be to find other litterature to challenge her opinions.
I think the relatively extensive quoting of the few negative reviews that exist would better be cut back, or replaced with real references challenging her opinions. They bias the article instead of adding relevant information.
::Criticism of Islam and its oppression of women is not and cannot be "Islamophobia" and anyone who makes this claim is a pathological liar and defender of a religion that seeks to turn individuals into submissive, unthinking slaves.  Clearly this is not acceptable or relevant criticism and should be removed as it is nothing more than a personal attack made by a devout Muslim. Criticism of religion, any religion, is acceptable and appropriate outside of Islamic discourse.  Personal attacks on the author are not.

message: Until recently (June 2017), this article was tagged for significant cleanup. While some issues remain, it is somewhat improved from previous incarnations. And hence not tagged as heavily as it was. In general, editors (in particular involved or potentially COI editors) might consider the relevant guidelines - to avoid a return to a heavily tagged article. In short, Wikipedia is not meant to mirror/supplement the subject's own website. (Excessive lists of SU members for example were removed for issues with WP:NOTWEBHOST and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Or what amounted to "minutes" of SU debates were removed for problems relative to the guidelines about the project not being a news source or a publisher of press releases ). Involved editors might want to consider the simple lasting importance or 10 year tests before using the project as a type of messageboard (for airing-of-grievances after a vote on how to fund this year's summer ball). That being said, if involved editors want to contribute any cited and historically relevant content (perhaps for inclusion in a history section) that might improve the article further....

Talk:Buddy memory allocation

message: ----
"Compared to the memory allocation techniques (such as paging) that modern operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Linux use, the buddy memory allocation is relatively easy to implement, and does not have the hardware requirement of a memory management unit (MMU)."
The article suggests that Linux doesn't use the buddy system, although all papers and books discussing Linux memory allocation suggest otherwise. For example, a few sources:
Even if the author didn't want to imply that buddy algorithm is not used in Linux, in my opinion the sentence has an awkward construction that suggests this.
Also, paging isn't a memory allocation technique.
----
"This method of freeing memory is rather efficient, as compaction is done relatively quickly, with the maximal number of compactions required equal to 2u / 2l (i.e. 2u-l)."
I think this estimation isn't correct. The correct one is log2(U)/log2(I) (i.e. log2(U-I).
For example, if U equals 8 and I equals 1, we have to do maximal number of compactions 3.
If we use actual formula in the article we get 27 what is obviously not correct.
