message: I think the reference to Glengarth school in Cheltenham must be an error.  There is no reference on the web  to a school of that name except those that say Irving went there, so I think they are all repeating an original error, because there was a Glyngarth boy's prep school in Cheltenham at the right time -  in 1949 the building was sold to Cheltenham Ladies College https://clcguild.cheltladiescollege.org/college-today/houses/farnley-lodge/.

Talk:Thrills

message: I've never heard of it being compared to rosewater. I've always thought it tasted like lavender. If you do a search for "Thrills gum", a lot of hits will mention "the lavender-flavoured soap gum". It tastes like you're sucking on a bar of lavender-scented soap. (Not that I do that too often.) Then again, I don't know what rosewater tastes like. Is it similar to lavender?
:I have a bottle of rosewater right here and believe me.....  Rosewater is an old time baking ingredient.  
Dbrodbeck 19:52, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think lavender or rosewater is an adequate description, there is clearly more to the flavour than these. I found some similar tasting candies from New Zealand where one of the prominent flavourings was described as musk, and I believe this is the more distinctive ingredient here. Unfortunately I'm not certain what "musk" flavour actually is, it might be artificial. Wikipedia's articles are inadequate about it as a flavouring. - Rainwarrior (talk) 07:24, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Thrills flavour 

message: I believe that "Thrills" should go to the disambiguation page, as having it go here is clearly just advertising for the gum.

Talk:Capital punishment/Archive 4

message: The problem with a merger is that it makes a huge article even bigger. On the other hand, it makes sense for "death sentence" and "capital punishment" to go the same article. I suggest both merge and split - i.e. split with new distinctions which genuinely divide the article into sensible coherent smaller ones, which can then be further improved.
:# Capital punishment / death sentence (sociology, history, legal aspects, etc.; i.e. everything except ethics and religion)
:# Capital punishment / death sentence (ethics of...)
:# Capital punishment / death sentence (religious views on...)
No.1 should be the main article, with subsections which use prominent redirection to sub-articles like this:
 Ethics of capital punishment
 
         Main article: see ethics of capital punishment
...so I added the split notice as well.

thread_title: Split?

message: The section need to be cleaned up. If it is about philosophical ethics (which sucks in my view), it should be split into three section, consequentialist, deontological and virture.  FWBOarticle 09:58, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethical view of DP 

message: The intro needs to be cleaned up.  Particularly the following:
In "capital punishment", "capital" comes from the latin noun "caput", which means head; therefore, to be subjected to capital punishment literally means to lose your head. Historically, the execution of criminals and political opponents was used by nearly all societies either to supress political dissent. 
Clearly, it does not "literally" mean to lose your head.  Also, the second sentence says that capital punishment has been used by nearly all societies to "either" supress dissent, but never completes the sentence by saying what else it's been used for.  JCO312 18:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Camden Lock

message: Can this article be expanded to explain the significance of the area?  Remember the potential international audience at hand.  Tychocat 10:49, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, not really. Basically, it's a lock and an area in London and that's it. But considering how comprehensive Wikipedia is when it comes to geographical entries in particular (look up Hundreds for example), it's not surprising that this would show up. It's a well known location and notable lock. I do take issue with the change in the article that puts the area ahead of the lock itself; in my opinion this would be tantamount to saying that Westminster is an area of London, and incidentally mention that there is also a building there with the same name. The name exists because of the lock, located near Camden (although actually it is one of a series of three). I'm not enough of an expert on the location to add much to it. I think that there's no way to make this more significant for an "international" audience, although someone familiar with the history and lore of London's canals might have something useful to share about it. I think until every geographical stub has an "importance" tag, this one doesn't need one. FunnyYetTasty 21:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of CAM companies

message: This page is an alternative to the awkwardness that is List of CAD companies, which I find unuseable.  
To me, the purpose of this page, and records of all these commercial products is to record history.  The companies are perfectly able to tell the world about themselves when they're here.  But when they're gone it's easy to forget what happened.  Software of this kind has a shelf-life measured in decades.  Often there are several different products on sale now that came from the same source years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goatchurch (talk • contribs)

ThE bEaTLeS aka andreasegde 16:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Beatles' miscellanea

message: Maureen Cleave has never "worked for the London Evening News" as your entry claims. This newspaper (now defunct) was the direct rival to her own employer, the Evening Standard.
According to Wikipedia rules, an entry cannot make any claims about a living person unless those facts can be sourced. Thus, if a biography has not been written about the person - and none has been written about Ms Cleave, neither does she appear in Who's Who - then you cannot even publish an entry in Wikipedia on her. As a lifelong colleague, my testimony appears to be dismissed as unreliable, because I am a "primary source" which to a journalist is a tool of the trade.
I have tried reaching people at Wikipedia with copious facts in the hope that somebody could insert them into this item, and no help has been forthcoming. But other than her published work, your rules about verification would disallow all other content. (Curiously you do currently allow one very tertiary source to appear as a lone footnote - why should this book-plug in the footnote be regarded as accurate? - when a quick google would provide several links directly to the full article from which the famous quotation comes.)
According to your rules, there is no proof that Ms Cleave ever existed, so why not delete this entry from Wikipedia altogether?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.200.241 (talk) 23:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggestions for future expansion 

message: The criticism section could do with a better explanation of why the indexes are (allegedly) a problem. As someone who worked with a single source authoring system for years and was responsible for the translation of the documents in the system, this was never an issue. Part of the process of translating a document includes the process of translating index entries (according to context). We did not automate any part of the index generation - fully automating any form of translation is always a bad idea anyway. It did however mean maintaining separate indexes per language, which of course may be something that some authoring software does not support (presumably software where translation was never considered).

Talk:G.703

message: G.703 is a standard which originally described voice over digital networks. It's a CCITT recommendation which is associated with the PCM standard. Voice to digital conversion according to PCM requires a bandwidth of 64 kbps (+/- 100 ppm), resulting in the basic unit for G.703. By multiplication this results in e.g. T1 (1544 kbps) and E1 (2048 kbps).
Modern networks are working with voice and data and so is G.703. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.177.176.83 (talk • contribs) .
