Talk:Cipher Bureau (Poland)

message: When I try try to print this article, whether to "Preview" or to PDF, Firefox hangs. Since Firefox has become a highly-desirable browser, this is a major problem. And no, using IE is not a "solution," even though it works.

thread_title: Printing problems?

message: The differing inappropriate terminology in English (codes are sloppily used to mean both code and cypher, while the reverse is true in Polish) and Polish is fascinating, but perhaps doesn't belong here. I think it is a worthwhile thing to retain in the English WP as so many readers will have no sense of the oddities of other languages. perhaps it should be rather in cryptography where such confusions have been noted in the introduction. Very interesting however, as two advanced nations' languages should be each wrong and misleading, but inversely so.  ww 21:02, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  1942? 

message: Since there currently is no Wikipedia article titled "Cipher Bureau," I propose that this "Biuro Szyfrów" article be retitled — "moved to" — "Cipher Bureau."  logologist|Talk 05:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Particularly as the templates relating to the Bureau already are Englished to "Cipher Bureau."  logologist|Talk 06:14, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Is there any reason to prefer the Englished name? We typically use the name of organisations in their own language: Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, B-Dienst, Bundesnachrichtendienst etc... — Matt Crypto 07:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm with Matt here. And there's a further point for English speakers. Cipher Bureau is blandly innocent of any additional informatino. Biuro Szyfrow (w or w/o accent marks) is mildy exotic and carries the useful information that we're not dealing with standard English use here, watch for curves. ww 15:06, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citations needed 

message: The Oxford English Dictionary gives the following definitions:
:::Setback: a reversal or check in progress;
:::Challenge: a call to prove or justify something.
The whole task of breaking the Enigma cipher was a huge challenge and the successes of Biuro Szyfrów in achieving this deserve great praise. However, the succession of changes that the Germans made to increase the security of the system, meant that by the summer of 1939 they were decrypting only a small proportion of messages that that were being intercepted. To my mind the word 'setbacks' is much more appropriate than 'challenges' to describe this situation, so I am going to undo the recent change.--TedColes (talk) 07:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
