Talk:Ma mère l'Oye

message: The edition of Ma Mere I have by Dover publications gives "toy mandarins".  I haven't been able to find much information on the writer Marie-Catherine, Comtesse d'Aulnoy or the story, though.  
There are more quotes from the score but the others are fairly long.
Ah, yes! I have now checked in a bigger dictionary, a 2-volume Larousse, and I found it can also mean a small porcelain figure with a mobile head, in addition to a pagoda. --AlainV 19:48, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Throughout the novel the British Special-Air-Service is referred to as RAF (Royal Air Force) and fly-boys.
The SAS are an army unit. They were based on the long-range-desert group which used jeeps in north africa to raid behind enemy lines - the idea being that if anyone was captured or a spy heard of the SAS it would be assumed they were parachuting - a detachment 2702 type endeavor!

replies: text: I believe that is right, but would rather not go through all the math. Most of the discussion is in bandwidth, but you also have to have a signal that resutls in not overmodulating the carrier. That is, Y+I, Y-I, Y+Q and Y-Q should never be greater than 1.

thread_title:  Image seems to be incorrect. 

message: Several other Wikipedia pages (e.g. the german YIQ page and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space) suggest that YIQ is actually no longer being used at all for NTSC. Can anyone confirm this? Beriechil (talk) 08:49, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've read on various places on the internet that most major broadcasters and hardware manufacturers switched from YIQ to YUV in something like the 70s or 80s. YIQ was kept alive after that for a while just like monochrome TV or mechanical scan television were for some time after their heyday. Not much in use anymore, but not actually illegal or dropped from regulatory standards. --79.242.203.134 (talk) 21:40, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know, the FCC requires YIQ for broadcasters. That is, higher resolution (bandwidth) on the I axis than the Q axis. It isn't required that receivers decode it this way, and it is easier in the YUV coordinate system. Since there are millions of decoders for each encoder, it makes some sense to simplify the decoder.  By the 1970's, though, analog integrated circuits made it much easier to do. Unless broadcasting equipment sellers offered a better price, and it might save a few dollars, I don't know why anyone would change.  It is sad that so few receivers ever did YIQ decoding, though.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article states "There is also some confusion regarding which nut tree she became, as hazelnuts were long called nux Phyllidos, and are still sometimes called "filberts" today.[6]" The implication that filbert somehow derives from Phyllis is wrong from all etymologies I can find. In fact it's named after St. Philibert whose feast (Aug 20th) is the date when filberts are ripe. Here's Merriam Webster's etymology which concurs with the others I've found: "Middle English, from Anglo-French philber, from St. Philibert 684 Frankish abbot whose feast day falls in the nutting season.

thread_title:  Dates 

message: I have not been able to find a standard template for the headings/ layout of articles about islands. The arrangement of content varies greatly between various "island" articles I have examined. I will develop proposals for re-arrangement and expansion and set them out here for comment, before proceeding. Here are some of my initial comments: 
*I think the article would benefit from some description early on in the article - covering geography and geology, before moving on to history.
* The article currently does not mention Dracophyllum, yet this is abundant on the island, or the peat layers that are up to 5m thick in parts of the island.
* Some expansion of content about the status of legal protection would be useful. As one example, the island is currently designated as a Nature reserve under Section 20 of the Reserves Act 1977, meaning that entry is by permit only. This is worth including.
* The article should probably be linked to  Wikipedia:WikiProject_Protected_areas
* There is currently no mention of the marine reserve or any link to the separate article Moutere Ihupuku / Campbell Island Marine Reserve
*The content about The Legend of the Lady of the Heather should be relocated towards the bottom of the article.
