message: :"Thog has haunted the halls of Xuthal in search of living flesh to assuage the continuing manifestation of his body on the physical plane."
This is ambiguous as written.  Is the intended meaning that he must obtain human flesh to maintain his presence on earth?  If so, the word assuage is incorrect, as it means "to mitigate or lessen the negative effects of".    Heavenlyblue (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: I think Jar choy should merge into Zha cai for the reason that most of the packaging on cans/bins of zha cai say "zha cai" or "tsa tsai". I'm also not sure that Jar choy is the better known name in English, goggle search shows "zha cai" to be slightly ahead in count to "jar choy", however the margin is small.

Category talk:Fictional dogs

message: Raikou, Entei, and Suicune should not be in here. They are based more on wildcats than on dogs. Seven-point-Mystic 18:08, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking that this list could use some subdividing.  I started with mythological dogs, but after that it's not so obvious.  E.g., we could have:
*:Category:Dogs in film and TV and :Category:Dogs in print comics
or we could have
*:Category:Animated, cartoon, and comic dogs and :Category:TV and film dogs portrayed by real dogs  (these are a bit wordy but perhaps you know what I mean)
The dividison is challenging because there are bound to be some that are in more than one category, so what's the best division?
There's also likely to be overlap with
*:Category:Dogs in literature (?)  e.g., Lassie would also be in TV & movies

replies: text: Category:Dogs in literature is still there; you-all were just linking to it wrong. Categories are a method of organising articles, and there's apparently no article for Part-Time Dog, let alone one for the dog itself, so there's no way of adding it to any category. --Paul A 02:13, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

text: You don't edit categories directly; you edit the article you want to add to the category. (See Wikipedia:Categorization#How to categorize an article for more about this.) There isn't an article about Seymour, so there's no way to add him to any category.

Talk:Computing blade

message: I agree with the merge proposal. TechPurism 00:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed Lipatden did an excellent job. Yes, we could say "blade" is an informal term for an (unstandardized) form-factor, usually also applied to devices that happen to have such a form. I'd like to point out that "server" is a computer "role" rather than a computer type: any computer which *serves* -i.e. provides services- to other computing systems *works* as a server; but there's nothing intrinsic in it for saying it *is* a server: the fact that servers are usually high-performance computers is another matter. That said, I would rather agree that blade server should become "blade computer". A PC, instead, is a particular kind of computer (by convention). I guess no one so far has produced a blade PC, though I might be wrong. —Gennaro Prota•Talk 15:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Template talk:User browser

message: I have reverted the IE logo, as it is against Wikipedia's  fair image use policy.
Quote from Wikipedia fair use policy:
*The material should only be used in the article namespace. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. They should be linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are the topic of discussion. Because "fair use" material is not copyright infringement on Wikipedia only when used for strictly encyclopedic reasons, their use in other contexts is likely copyright infringement.
Since this is both a template and one that appears on user pages, it is against Wikipedia policy (and most likely copyright laws). I will revert to the free image used up until this edit. --Grand Edgemaster Talk 00:47, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:RAID controller

message: I think it may be less common to use the term "disk array controller" to describe the adapter used to provide RAID for internal disks.  Therefore I would support the merge if the ending title is "RAID controller" because I think it is common to use this term for either the internal RAID adapters or the ones embedded in an external disk array system.  TechPurism 00:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, many RAID controllers in external disk array systems use Fibre Channel on both the host interconnect and the disk drive interconnect.  For example both Engenio and Clariion offer this type of connectivity.  The host Fibre Channel is often of the optical variety, while the Fibre Channel to the disk drives is of the copper type.   Another data point is to look at the Seagate web site and see that they offer Fibre Channel disk drives.  TechPurism 03:37, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

message: EEMIV removed this line:
"Based on other historical and genealogical evidence, many historians believe it is more likely than not that Jefferson was his father. Some continue to dispute that conclusion."
It was uncited, of course. However it is true. Recent Jefferson biographers Joseph Ellis, R.B. Bernstein, and Andrew Burstein are just three examples of former naysayers who've come around to change their views. Of course, the Monticello Foundation, which owns and operates Monticello and employs a team of Jefferson historians, has done that as well. I think that line should be able to go back in once some specific citations are supplied.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Riverbythebridge (talk • contribs) 19:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

This is beyond offensive and the exact equivalent of a white person making racist comments then claiming they cant be racist because they have black friends. Anyone who has ever hears this “excuse” knows how offensive it is, and see’s it as a blatant strawman argument to try and normalize their bigotry.

Most of these views are false, the others are highly speculative, and some are so ridiculous as to shock the conscience.

It is also factually correct that many top players including Keres, Bogoljubow, Stoltz and Foltys played in Nazi-sponsored tournaments.
