Talk:Debian Free Software Guidelines

message: The free software licenses article only discussed FSF's point of view until recently.  I've started sections about the BSD philosophy (which has been expanded by some BSD users), and a section about the Debian position.  Without duplicating any content that is on the DSFG article or that is already on the free software licenses article, can some Debian users expand the Debian section of the free software licenses article?  Thanks. Gronky 19:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Debian in [[free software licenses#Debian]] 

message: Just to explain my rollback of the last anonymous edit - pico is not free according to the DFSG, because the pine/pico license forbids the distribution of modified binaries. Which is why Debian does not distribute the pico package, only the pine sources in the non-free section. And indeed another reason for pico not being worked on is that there exists nano.  --Joy [shallot] 11:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Burrard Peninsula

message: What is the source for this definition of Burrard Peninsula?  There's no doubt that the area east of the Coquitlam River is distinct from the rest of the peninsula—a low-lying prairie punctuated by the isolated Mary Hill—but is there an authoritative source for making the Coquitlam River the peninsula's eastern boundary?
Different sources seem to use different definitions.  A 1996 GVRD Demographic Bulletin implicitly includes only Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, and UBC/UEL as comprising "Burrard Peninsula," with the Tri-Cities, Anmore, and Belcarra comprising the "North East Sector" (PDF document; http://www.gvrd.bc.ca/growth/pdfs/Census1996-Migration.pdf , p. 2).  Granted, this definition seems to be more for administrative or statistical convenience.
On the other hand, a 2004 study of traffic on Highway 1 defines the peninsula as including all the municipalities between UBC and the Pitt River, and extending north to Anmore and Belcarra (PDF document; http://www.livableregion.ca/pdf/port_mann_8percent_trucks.pdf , p. 1 (map)).  This seems to be a more intuitive definition.  The Pitt River is a much larger natural barrier than the Coquitlam River.  Since the Pitt River and the lower reaches of the Fraser River carry salt water upstream (in addition to freshwater downstream) and are subject to tidal influence—all the way up to Pitt Lake—then if we define the Peninsula as being bounded on the north and west by Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm and on the south and east by the Fraser and Pitt Rivers and Pitt Lake, we end up with a clearly defined body of land bounded on its two long sides by salt water.  This definition also encompasses the highlands north of the low trench running east from the eastern end of Burrard Inlet.

replies: text: Okay, it's been over a year and no one's responded.  I've cleaned up, expanded, and generally rewritten the article.  In the absence of any explanation for why the Coquitlam River was arbitrarily chosen as the eastern boundary of the peninsula, I've expanded the definition to extend eastwards to the more intuitive Pitt River, thus including Port Coquitlam, since what other landform could it be considered to be a part of?  -Sewing 20:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Adult Contemporary (chart)

message: The following is misleading:
'Although some people would assume that The Billboard Hot 100 and the Adult Contemporary (AC) chart are the same thing, they are not. The AC chart lists only pop/contemporary songs, while the Hot 100 includes songs from every genre.'
Surely the reason A/C is different to the Hot 100 is that is monitors A/C stations, whereas the Hot 100 monitors all radio stations and sales. A Hip-Hop song (for example) could chart if it was played on A/C.
I think this topic should be merged with the Adult Contemporary topic.
Sonnevillej 05:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this section should be deleted completely. The Hot AC chart is extremely different from the Billboard Hot 100, anyone who follows the charts today knows that. Just look at the current chart for the week of 06-23, only 3 songs in the top 20 of the Hot AC chart are even in the top 50 of the Hot 100 (The Sweet Escape, Home, and Before He Cheats are the only ones). This alone shows how different these two charts are. And the current #1 on Hot Ac is Waiting on the World Change, but that fell off the Hot 100 weeks ago. I don't see how anyone could get the two charts confused, and for now I'm going to delete this section, especially since its not even sourced, seems like original research to me.

In reference to the need for a citation, Wright claimed as much himself on a "Have I Got News For You Appearance" which can be seen here (approx 4:35 in, ignoring Hislop talking over him). However, referencing's not my strong point- I'm not overly au fait as to whether he himself constitutes a reliable source (I imagine not), and given that the link is a YouTube vid, whether that's suitable for the article.

replies: text: Well, anything that you think can be verified and should be added to Traumatology, please add it there.  However, the claims made here, that "A Traumatologist is someone trained to work with people who have just suffered extreme trauma, be that physical or emotional", conflicts with the contents of Traumatology, which says nothing about emotional trauma, and the mention of the Church of Scientology with its implication that the CoS is somehow a reputable source as regards traumatology, make this a POV fork. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As for whether Traumatology covers the issue of mental trauma, type 'traumatology' into google and look at the first link. As for your second point, I did not in any way imply that CoS was reputable - I merely provided a small detail of their teachings. The facts are that the word *does* cover mental trauma, and CoS *does* have, as a central part of their teachings, the resolvement of personal mental traumas. Expect a bold edit to Traumatology.
