message: I recently found that SIP Broker was an orphaned article.  Therefore, I added some links such as one in this article at the end of this sentence:
:The caller uses the telephone to dial the number of another subscriber, which leads to an ENUM lookup (such as is provided by SIP Broker).
This was identified as me spamming and reverted.
Do any think an example of ENUM mapping belongs in this article and if so, how should it best be added?

message: The "Regular expression" example given in section "System details" implies that an implementation of a flexible mapping ("can be used by a telephone company to easily assign addresses to all of its clients") from E.164 to SIP URI by means of using regexp sub-expressions on the right-hand side of a suitable NAPTR record was given within the article. However, this is not the case.

message: Up-front disclosure of interest: I wrote the 'Zenith' version of this game http://johnvalentine.co.uk/zenith.php.
I've noticed that over the years, clones have been added and removed from the article. I do not think it right that commercial titles (including paid-for mobile content) should be given a stage here - I didn't charge for my version because I thought it wrong to exploit the original game commercially. I suggest that any commercial plugs that appear in this article be removed (or be given equal status among all such derivative works), because the commercial works use others' IP for monetary gain (though strictly speaking they do not violate copyright, because they are an _expression_ of an idea, rather than a reproduction of media).
To be encyclopedic, we should offer an unbiased presentation of facts. With this in mind, we should have an 'all or nothing' policy whereby we don't allow opportunists a particular advantage. So, I recommend one of these options:
# Remove all references to clones, or
# List all currently-available clones (as history), and declare their commercial status.
# Create a new article about clones (caveat: I'm unaware of the Wikipedia policy on this).

Talk:Terence Francis MacCarthy

message: I am raising an esoteric (and not very important) grammatical question to which I don’t know the answer.  Isn’t it inappropriate to precede a phrase like “Mac Carthy Mór “ or “O’Conor Don” with the direct article “the” according to the preferred grammatical style used these days to discuss chiefs of the name?  I know that it’s tempting to insert “the” as it seems to resonate the style used when referring to a chief of the name as (to use a fake example) “The Jones.”  Also, in English, saying that (for example) “the Great Jones is late for dinner” sounds more natural than saying “Great Jones is late for dinner” and thus we have a tendency to throw a “the” before Mac Carthy Mór , O’Conor Don and similar titles.   Does the direct article precede these titles in the Irish language?  And if not, how appropriate is it to follow that lead even though it is counter intuitive for English speakers?  Thanks. - J. Dwyer, Boston, Massachusetts, USA. HouseOfScandal 19:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Deep Blue versus Kasparov, 1997, Game 6

message: This text:
:Within the chess world this has become a somewhat infamous game because it was a rare instance in which World Champion Garry Kasparov mistakenly resigns a drawn position. Though white's (Deep Blue) appears to be winning, post-game analyses by Chess players from around the world and Garry Kasparov himself have shown that there was no way for White to win (assuming Kasparov played his best moves).
Is incorrect. The game you are referring to is Deep Blue - Kasparov, 1997, Game 2, in which Garry Kasparov played the black side of a Ruy Lopez, and missed a line that lead to a draw by repition.
The final position of this game is clearly losing once you do a bit of deep analysis, please try and refute the lines in this discussion page before editing again. Themindset 20:19, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Old talk

message: This edit is mistaken. The matches were as follows:
First match:
*Game 1: Deep Blue wins
*Game 2: Kasparov wins
*Game 3: Draw
*Game 4: Draw
*Game 5: Kasparov wins
*Game 6: Kasparov wins
Final score: Kasparov wins 4-2
Second match (all games logged at IBM's website: 
*Game 1: Kasparov wins game score
*Game 2: Deep Blue wins game score
*Game 3: Draw game score
*Game 4: Draw game score
*Game 5: Draw game score
*Game 6: Deep Blue wins game score (the subject of this article)
Final score: Deep Blue wins 3.5-2-5
The first game was a nice positional win by Kasparov, the second game was where Deep Blue established a winning position but actually through it away on the last move, and handing Kasparov an opportunity to draw (but he resigned instead). Sjakkalle (Check!) 09:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cyclades board game 

message: From the introduction: "The name refers to the islands around (κυκλάς) the sacred island of Delos." 
Instead of around, wouldn't it be more accurate and more enlightening to say encircling? That how κυκλάς is translated in the Perseus online dictionary, which uses the Classical Greek meaning. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=κυκλάς&la=greek
I think the fix should be: "The name refers to the islands encircling (κύκλος) the sacred island of Delos." Do others agree?
The sentence in the Geography section is clearer: "The name "Cyclades" refers to the islands forming a circle ("circular islands") around the sacred island of Delos."

Because I could. No, actually because I saw the picture first on a very old monitor that left me confused as to what I was seeing and I misinterpreted it as a computer graphic rendition of events changing over time - hard to describe what I thought I was seeing, but as soon as I realized it was a photograph of a real physical space it snapped into making sense.
