thread_title:  Deletion discussion 

message: I apologize if this is not strictly about public transportation, but I suppose some folks here would have some knowledge about this subject, and it is a timely subject as well. I recently created New York congestion pricing, and I would like some help in expanding and updating it. Since this is the public transportation domain, the least I hope for is if anybody can add info on how the regional transit systems play into the congestion pricing issue. Thanks.

Talk:Chaos game

message: i think these paragraphs should be reversed.  the primary definition of "chaos game" is the general one, the polygon is an older meaning and a special case.  furthermore it would be great to have an series of images illustrating how the attractor emerges as the samples generated by the game accumulate. and lay out the algorithm in step by step pseudo-code.  Spot 07:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reversed 

message: Many of the descriptions of the images in the section on the restricted chaos game are unclear. On the second image for example ("the current vertex cannot be one place away from the previously chosen vertex"), the explanation is clearly false, as the current wording means that a random pair of antipodal vertices would be chosen and alternated between. Hopefully someone can clarify this. KingSupernova (talk) 05:32, 11 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ambiguous wording on the restricted chaos game 

message: So I've been doing a bit of experimentation with this, and the image showing the jump being restricted from landing on a particular area and causing a copy of that area to be seen at smaller scales around the field.  (The one with the "Om" symbol.)  Unless I'm missing something, there's something misleading about that particular image - specifically, it appears to be inverted.  Whereas all the other images on this page feature black dots being drawn on a white background, this one seems to have been done with white dots on a black background.  i.e. the black areas on the image are those which were never visited, rather than those which were.  I don't know if the image would be easier to understand if it were inverted, but it would be more consistent with the other images on the page. Lurlock (talk) 18:56, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bottom template 

message: Should we create a separate article that focuses on student loan forgiveness/discharges/cancelations? At this point, there may be sufficient material for the topic to have its own article. If not, perhaps a section will do; but either way, it's definitely worth bringing up the controversy because supporters want to protect borrowers against unmanageable levels of debt, while opponents aim to prevent taxpayers from having to foot the bill. 9March2019 (talk) 05:05, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely enough content for a section.  Notable enough because of so much discussion that it could have its own article, but I think it could be well summed up with lots of pro and con arguments in a section here, and would be better placed here in this article which gives it context: talks about who holds large debts (grad students) and who has trouble paying debt (those with years of college who did not graduate and for-profit college victims).....So I vote for having it as a section here. ---Avatar317(talk) 05:27, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

WP:MOSDAB explains why the primary topic is set apart from the rest of the list, and why linked articles are placed as far to the front of each entry, and why entries in the main list aren't bolded, and why articles that just have the ambiguous phrase as part of the title are placed in See also, and how to format group/section heading, and the rest of the changes.

message: Since someone has decided that there is no longer a primary topic, there's a job to be done in sorting out the incoming links to this dab page - most of them presumably should now go to Dwarf (mythology) as that's where the article previously at this title has been put.  I'd suggest that the two nearest-to-primary meanings (person with dwarfism / (mythology) ) should be pulled out to the top of the page to assist readers, as the two most likely sought topics.

Talk:Foothill High School (Sacramento, California)

message: The article has good surface-level information about the school. A lot of information in both demographics and basketball sections needs to be cited with sources, so information isn't simply being thrown around. More sections can be added to article like other sports teams that have a good history of victories, information about their journalism, any important programs that the school may have, etc. Also, I feel like the 'Twins River' section is not needed since it's irrelevant to the school but good for the district page.

:A buddy who works at MPRC let me know last week that some of the student employees there were arrested by the FBI for smuggling records out of the building.  This was either for fun, profit, or just plain stupidity.  The students were busted when a park ranger found a stack of records in a trash can.  I called MPRC on Friday to ask about this and they were very tight lipped - but didn't deny it.  I did a tour in Iraq and I can say this pisses me off.  If there are any other vets out there who feel the same way I do, call the MPRC at 314-801-0800 today and demand answers.

message: 雪 = Snow, 芹 = Chinese celery ch (talk) 16:46, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning of 雪芹 

message: One of the editors deleted Cao Xueqin's given and courtesy names, but I felt they were important so I restored them. I don't frequent Wikipedia that often - hopefully a solution could be found after some discussion.
Xueqin (雪芹) itself was a style name (or literary name), but he had at least two other style names as well, Qinpu（芹圃) and Qinxi（芹溪). Cao Xueqin's given name, it is now commonly agreed, was Cao Zhan （曹霑) and his courtesy name Mengruan（梦阮）. But so many names might make the infobox a bit cluttered. Is there any feasible solution to this? At the very least I feel Cao Xueqin's given name and courtesy name ought to be mentioned, since birth name was the proper name by which an adult was formally addressed in pre-republican China. Encyclopaedia Britannica uses "Cao Zhan" (instead of Cao Xueqin) as their article name. DORC (talk) 19:42, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Do I understand correctly, or is the relevance of the National Crime Information Center to this disambiguation page something other than a misspelling?

Talk:Time (musical)

message: Do we really need to refer to the floating head as a hologram? It was billed as a hologram by the show's producers, but I saw the show and it clearly wasn't a hologram. First of all, holograms don't get that big, and second, they can't be projected. The producers made a film of Olivier's face, which he was careful to keep still, and they projected it onto a large blank 3-d face sculpture. This creates the illusion that an actual (huge) face is hovering over the stage, but it's not a hologram, it's conventional film on an unconventional screen. (Visitors to Disneyland can see the same effect, on a much smaller scale, in the Haunted Mansion, where a moving face is projected onto a bust that sits inside a crystal ball.) --MiguelMunoz (talk) 03:52, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

::On Side Two, there are some strange things to be heard:
On song no. 11: "Your brother in soul", the vocals sound reminiscent of Tom Jones's voice but it's said to be the voice of Jimmy Helms. Only they themselves know the truth.
On song no. 12: "Case for the Prosecution", the case is similar, only that I would guess on say Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, rather than John Christie. 
On song no. 14: "Time Will Teach Us All", the main vocals are sung by Julian Lennon, as implied by the text on the record itself...BUT...I can SWEAR that I hear Stevie Wonder singing on that particular song! He sings a lot too and also plays the harmonica.
 
:: Anyone else agrees on that?

thread_title: Importance: Top?

message: I'm not sure the provenance, but in its section on the Woo Sing Ding teahouse, the Rev. C.E. Darwent's Shanghai: A Handbook (1911) tells the story of the "East and West Gardens", which were open free to the public on the 1st and 15th of the Chinese months and for "a small fee" at other times. "The story is that the whole of these buildings and gardens were originally a palace built by an ambitious and wealthy mandarin, in the reign of Kiei Tsing, A.D. 1537. He was ambitious of having a palace as good as the emperor's. The scheme, however, came to the ears of the emperor, who violently disapproved, and the mandarin, to save himself, made his palace over to the city, which used it as a temple, tea-house, and gardens for the benefit of the public".
