Talk:Belém, Lisbon

message: To the Belem Editors! I figured it might be relevant for you with a link to a traveller's version of Belem - as a complement to your own more factual article - so I took the liberty of inserting a link to "Lisbon by the Riverside". Keep it if you like. There are no commercial interests behind my initiative.

message: "During the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler a certificate providing proof of Aryan blood was required of any citizen who wished to exercise his or her civil rights, join a Nazi paramilitary organization, or join the Nazi party. Hitler insisted on reviewing each application personally, and would repeatedly pore over military records, letters of recommendation and study the photographs of those seeking a certificate."
First, there is no source (someone pointed out the same thing earlier). Second, this paragraph is self-contradictory: it says that any citizen needed a certificate to excercise his civil rights, yet Hitler reviewed each application personally. A little too much work for tens of millions of Germans, don't you think? --213.178.101.88 (talk) 14:37, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Danbury, Essex

message: The Climate section doesn't meet Wikipedia requirements because the only reference for the Climate section is "Climate information extracted by the local climate records of Tom Defty, a resident of the village", which is a primary source and is unverifiable anyway.
It is also a bit suspect because it was written ( this diff) by an anonymous contributor (80.175.152.81) who hasn't contributed to any other article.
Even if there were proper references, two statements are contradictory given that Burnham-on-Crouch is east-south-east of Danbury:
*"in winter, Danbury is often 1 or 2 degrees colder than the towns to the such as East such as ... Southend-on-Sea"
*"Often in winter months, an temperature inversion actually makes the temperature rise across the village whereas temperatures plummet elsewhere... during December 2007, ...temperatures fell to... -3 degrees in Burnham-on-Crouch but in Danbury the temperature steadily rose to +2 degrees Celsius"

Talk:Çeng

message: User:Badagnani asked in his edit summary "Isn't this just as easy?"  He had reverted this, using the new (added in Jan 2007) magic word:
* 
*Category:String instruments
to this older and still effective method:
*Ceng
The answer is that it is sometimes easier, often a bit harder (most any time there is more than one category explicitly listed, for example).  But it is almost never as good.
Why not?  A couple of reasons:
*Indexing the individual category is not effective when someone comes along later and adds another category without adding the sort key for it.  I've seen that thousands of times, where someone adding a new category remains totally oblivious to the sort key in the categories already there, and does not follow their example.
*Indexing the individual category is totally ineffective at fixing the indexing of categories which do not explicitly appear on the edit page, but are rather added by some template.
:*That includes stub categories, but nobody really worries much about them yet.  Maybe as the new magic word gains ground, people will see that the stub categories can also be fairly easily sorted correctly, and that will change.
:*The bigger problem is the hundreds of infoboxes and navigation boxes which add categories, defaulting to the article name, unless the category is also manually added below the template using the proper sort key, or the new magic word is used to set a different default.
And of course, combining the two points, DEFAULTSORT will be effective with such infoboxes and navigation boxes which might be added in the future, as well as ones already there.
It is easier not to even bother to see if any of the categories are added by a template and thus not visible in the listing, and just add the DEFAULTSORT which will work if there are any of them.  Gene Nygaard 18:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Wilding was becoming increasingly prone to blackouts, which had been affecting him since the mid-1930s. Convinced that his acting days were over, he began working for Jerry Hogan as a talent agent. Feeling miscast, Wilding nevertheless returned to Britain, where Susan Nell set him up as the host of her Brighton restaurant, the Three Little Wilding Rooms. However, he detested the work and the marriage quickly collapsed and they divorced in 1962." After that he married Margaret Leighton and largely devoted himself to supporting her career.

thread_title:  Rename as "36-bit"? 

message: The C programming language requires that all memory be accessible as bytes, so C implementations on 36-bit machines use 9-bit bytes.
I don't believe that that's true.  The C language requires that a C compiler recognize the datatype "char", but puts few restrictions on its size, other than that "char" can't be larger than "short", "int", or "long".  As far as the requirements of the C language, it would be perfectly acceptable for a "char" to always occur on a 36-bit-word boundary and to occupy any or all of that 36-bit word, again provided only that "short" was no smaller.  If C compilers on historic 36-bit mainframe computers used 9-bit bytes, that was a choice of the compiler authors in the interest of making the most efficient use of memory, which (by 2011 standards) was shockingly limited and appallingly expensive — it wasn't a requirement.  In comparison, the Pascal programming language supports both types of character storage, and allows the choice to be made by the Pascal program author ("array" vs. "packed array") rather than by the Pascal compiler author; C gives that choice to the C compiler author only.  76.100.17.21 (talk) 10:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
